Title: Amherstburg Echo
Page: 12 Aug 1898
Text: About 10:30 a.m. on Saturday last, Isaac Thornton, who lived just outside of Essex, on the Talbot road, passed away after an illness of some years from kidney trouble. He was born on the old homestead, nearly opposite the farm on which he died, on the 5th of February 1833, and has lived all his life in the township... He was married to Emma King, of Kingsville, who survives him along with six children--Mrs. William Campbell and Miss Esther Thornton, of Detroit; George W., John and Ella, at home and Charles of Highgate. Two children are dead. Only one brother, George, of Essex survives, while two brothers, Harrison and Thomas, and six sisters--Mrs. John Whittle, Mrs. Geo. M. Wigle, Mrs. Sol. Wigle, of Gosfield South; Mrs. John Robinson of Essex; Mrs. J. J. Fulmer, of North Ridge and Mrs. Gale of the U.S. are dead. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock to Trinity Episcopal church at Cottam, interment taking place in the Cottam cemetery...
