The many friends of R. LeBert Tweedie were grieved to hear of his death, which occurred at 12:30 today after a very brief illness of pneumonia. The late Mr Tweedie was born 44 years ago at Shelburne, NS and was the eldest son of the late Rev. Robert Tweedie. After graduating from Mt Allison College, he studied law at Fredericton and was admitted to the bar about 1883. After his father's death in 1883 he removed to Hampton where he has since resided. As a lawyer he was considered one of the ablest in Kings county, in fact he had few peers in the province.
Besides his wife, the deceased leaves his brother Fred, who lives in Centerville, one married sister in Boston and Hattie, who resides in Moncton. Premier Tweedie is a cousin. The chief mourners were Fred Tweedie, only brother of deceased, the widow and sisters of deceased, Miss Hattie of Moncton and Mrs Lindsay of Boston. [1]
