Death Of James Swanston in America
The death is announced from Lynn, Massachusetts of Mr. James A. Swanston, who had long been a resident of that town. Mr. Swanston, who was a man of over seventy, was employed in his early days in the Ulster Railway, now known as the Great Northern. He emigrated close on sixty years ago, and had a prosperous career in the States, and at the time of his death he occupied a high position in the shipping department of the General Electric Company. The end came very very suddenly, and was altogether unexpected. Mrs Swanston and her sister in law were visiting Baltimore at the time, and on receipt of the sad intelligence hurried back to Lynn. The deceased gentleman was a man of the most amiable disposition and was highly esteemed in Lynn, where his death caused much sorrow. He was a brother of Mr. Wm. [William?] Swanston, a respected Belfast citizen, who still carries on business in the city.Close
