DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER

The Late John Cairnes

As briefly noted in our issue of Saturday. Mr. John Cairnes, of Weber street, Berlin, passed peacefuly away to his long rest on the 18th inst. after a short and painfull illness. For several days he had been tired, nature could hold out no longer, and he passed away quietly, like the falling of a leaf.

Deceased was born in the year 1818, in Tyrone Co, Ireland, being the oldest of a family of four, a brother and two sisters surviving him. He emigrated to Canada West with his father in 1841, and after spending a whole summer travelling through the wilderness from Hamilton to Lake Huron they finally settled ona bush farm in the township of North Easthope, County of Perth.

In politics he was a staunch Conservative, and a strong admirer of the late Sir John A. MaDonald. The only time that the representation in the House of Commons was wrested from the Liberals of South Waterloo, ws when deceased championed the cause of our present Senator, the Hon. Saml. Merner.

He was a familiar figure on the streets of Berlin during the past fourteen years, and although taking no active part in the town's affairs, he was keenly alive to what was going on. He leaves behind him a wife and nine children, three sons and six daughters to mourn his loss.

Thus one by one all our first settlers are emigrating to their final home and we will soon be a nation lamenting the absence of the strong true and honest men, who laid the...
