  (22 Feb 1890, Final: Aberdeen 8 v 3 Orion (a.e.t.) replay at Victoria Bridge Grounds, Aberdeen, Scotland.)

The death took place on Friday night, after a short illness, at his residence at Bucksburn of Mr Thomas Ketchen, chief engineer, Messrs C. Davidson and Sons, Mugiemoss Works.

Mr Ketchen came from Edinburgh district in 1885 to take up the post of chief engineer on the death of his father, who was for many years with the firm. He was a capable mechanic, and respected by employers and employees alike. In earlier life he took a keen interest in outdoor sport, being captain of the Aberdeen Football Club in the old Chanonry days, and a member of the Mugiemoss Cricket Club for several years. He also took a keen interest in quoiting, draughts, and whist.

He is survived by his wife and family of three sons and one daughter.
