FELL DEAD IN CORN FIELD

H.C. McDermott Is the Victim of Heart Disease.

Funeral Services Will Be Held in the Presbyterian Church Saturday Afternoon.

H.C. McDermott dropped dead about ten o'clock Wednesday forenoon, while assisting Morton Orr, who was at work in a corn field on his mother's farm in the eastern limits of the town. Mr. McDermott was subject to attacks of heart trouble and early Wednesday morning complained of a pain in his side. Home remedies were applied and then he went over to the Orr farm and tried to work in the field. Suddenly he fell to the ground and expired almost immediately. Help was summoned and his body was taken to the home of his son, H.L. McDermott, a short distance from where he had been working. Heart failure is given as the cause for his sudden demise.

Hugh Carson McDermott was born in Three Rivers, Quebec, May 20, 1837. Forty-six years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret McLean at Teeswater, Ont. She still survives him. They came to Michigan in 1882, settling on a farm in Grant Township, where they resided until four years ago when they moved to Cass City. Their five children, four sons, A.J., of Douglas, Arizona; A.M., of Los Angeles, Cal.; Hugh, who still resides on the old homestead in Grant Township; H.L. of this place; and one daughter, Mrs. E. Sedweek of Calumet, are all living. He also has a brother in Los Angeles and a sister in Seattle.

Through the death of Mr. McDermott the village has lost one of her best citizens, a Christian man of excellent habits, quiet, unobtrusive in his manner, yet winning the esteem of everyone he met along life's way. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and the funeral services will be held in that church on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock.

(Cass City Chronicle, Oct. 11, 1907, p. 1.)

In March, 2008, Bruce McDermott, a direct descendant, emailed that Hugh's father was Andrew McDermott who was "born in Straban, Tyrone County, Northern Ireland about 1800 I have nothing on him just words on paper my grandfather wrote. Andrews' grandfather came to Northern Ireland
from Lock Awe, Scotland about 1604."
