    2. [S4] Obituary.
      Shortly after 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, Geo. BOTSFORD, clerk of the Legislative Council, closed his eyes upon the earth where he had spent 83 years of activity.
       His grandfather, Amos BOTSFORD was one of the Loyalists. He drew lots at Parrtown (St. John) when land was being apportioned there, but he went to Westmorland County and settled at Sackville.
       At the first New Brunswick election in 1787 he was chosen to represent Westmorland in the Assembly and in the Assembly he was chosen as the first Speaker. He held this position until his death in March 1812 in his 70th year. A son, William BOTSFORD was father of the subject of this sketch.
       He also represented Westmorland and was Speaker in the Assembly. He likewise filled the position of Judge of the Supreme Court.
