He was at the theatre Friday eve. and did not complain of being unwell until 1 o'clock Saturday morn. when he commenced to spit blood. The heamorrhage became more severe and a physician was sent for, who pronounced it to be a case of heamorrhage of the liver. The severe attacks of heamorrhage occurred at intervals up to 6 o'clock Sunday morn. At 11 o'clock he took his medicine and said that he thought he would lie over and take a sleep, and a few moments after that he was dead. Mr. Berteaux was 49 years of age and was a native of Cornwallis, N.S. where he has a sister living. Another sister resides in St. John, N.B. where for several years Mr. Berteaux was engaged in business before coming to Vancouver and where he married Miss Quinton, sister of C.H. Quinton, who survives him. He also leaves a family of three boys. Mr. Berteaux came to Vancouver about six years ago and was for several years in the grocery business.
