Death of Noted Footballer
Footballers will regret to learn of the death of Mr Pter McAdam, saddler, who passed away at his home in Millburn Street on Tuesday afternoon after a short illness.
Mr McAdam, who was about 45 years of age, was one of the officials at the recent Kirkcudbright sports, where he contracted a chill from which he never rallied. In his earlier days he was one of the most accomplished footballers in the south-west. At 15 years of age he was selected for the inter-county match, and was for long one of the mainstays of the St Cuthbert wanderers team.
He served as a saddler-sergeant with the Kirkcudbrightshire Battery in the East during the war. He is survived by a widow and infant son. Funeral took place at St Cuthbert's Churchyard, Kirkcudbright.
