Cause and Place of Death: Died (Appendicitis) Richmond Hospital 

BX March 22, 1915

Private James Huggins, Brantford, of Dragoons Contingent Answers the Last Call – Another Man Who Enlisted Here Gives His Life for his King and Country – Wife has Returned to England, But Mother, Sister and Brothers Still Reside Here  

Private James Huggins, who went away with the Twenty-Fifth Brant Dragoons on the first Canadian contingent, passed away last week at the Richmond Hospital, Dublin, of appendicitis. Death took place on March 20, and word was received by his mother here on Sunday by cablegram. His next of kin is his wife, Mrs. Mabel Huggins, 10 High Street, Brith, England, when here he resided at 15 Elliott Avenue.

The name of Private James Huggins appeared in the casualty rolls on Saturday last, his next of kin being given as residing in the old land in the person of his wife. Private James Huggins, jr., who went from here, had his wife go back to the old land shortly after the time that he left the shores of Canada, so that for the moment his name could not be checked. His mother, Mrs. James Huggins, resides here yet at 17 Elliott Avenue and she received news yesterday that her son was dead, thus verifying the belief that the Brantford man was the James Huggins referred to.

Mrs. Huggins was well known here, and she and the mother and other survivors will have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad loss.
    
Miss Ethel Huggins of this city is a sister of the deceased, while a brother, Pte. George Huggins is with Captain M.A. Colquhoun’s company of the Fourth Battalion, he having enlisted with the Dufferin Rifles for the first contingent. Fred of California, Eddie at home, and Albert, Holmedale, are other brothers.
