| Obituary & Death Notice |
 | Death Of An Old Citizen
Death of an Old Citizen,- We have to announce to day the death of one of the pioneer settlers of old Bytown, Mr. Anthony Swalwell, senior, Civil Engineer, father of Mr. A. Swalwell, undertaker. Mr. Swalwell first came to the Ottawa country in 1825, having been sent up to Bytown by the Court of Queen's Bench of L'Orignal to survey a road from that place to the Rideau, and from Bytown to Long Island. He landed from a canoe with his staff of men where the locks were subsequently built, and he proceeded to locate the Montreal road and the road up the Rideau River to Long Island locks. In 1829 he came to reside in Bytown in the employ of the Ordnance Department under Col. By, and he assisted at the building of the Rideau Canal. He has seen Bytown grow from a collection of small shanties to its present proud position, and he has witnessed the transformation of the Ottawa Valley from a wilderness into a populous and prosperous country. As a surveyor he had an extensive practice in the surrounding counties. In his younger days, but he has not done any work for several years past. Mr. Swalwell was seventy six years of age, and his death will be sincerely regretted by many of the old residents.
