Deceased was a quiet, industrious man, very much devoted to his home and family and a good neighbour. He was an Anglican in religion and a Conservative in politics. He is survived by two sons, Will, of Raglan, and Thos., on the homestead in Amaranth.

McDonald, rector of St. Mark's Anglican church. The pallbearers were Messrs. W. H. Gillespie, J. B. Walker, Jas. M. Stinson, Ben Robinson, Israel Miller and Geo. Smith.
