After securing a public school education he entered the dental profession and has conducted a successful practice here for over 30 years. He was in company with his brother, the late Chas. L.

_______________

Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Seagram have arrived home from a visit of several weeks in England and will have the deepest sympathy of their many friends in their irreparable loss in the death of Mrs. Seagram's mother Mrs. H. F. Pearson, in whose passing the Twin-City has been bereft of one of its finest women. To be with her was an encouragement and a comfort, for she gave of herself heartily and sincerely, her quick understandings and ready sympathy endearing her to all. Around the hearts of her many friends she wound herself with an appealing sweetness, the severance of which will long be felt. An unusual personality, a good woman and a true friend.

_______________________

The unexpected and much deplored death of Mrs. H. Fred. Pearson, which occurred at St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton, on Sunday morning as a result of a severe motor accident last Tuesday, October 30th, came as a severe shock to her hosts of friends both here and elsewhere. The death of Mrs. Pearson has removed from the Twin City a woman of much beauty of character and strong personality. A fine type of a Christian lady, she proved herself a most devoted and affectionate wife and mother, whose home was always the place where she loved best to be, and where she welcomed friends and acquaintances with a geniality unexcelled by any and so to the end her family, consisting of one daughter. Mrs. T. W. Seagram of Waterloo, and one son. Mr. Gibson Pearson of Costa Rica, and their families, were her chief thought, and to whom she devoted her best and most loving care, her husband having predeceased her several years ago. The deceased lady also leaves to cherish her memory three sisters, Mrs. Colquhoun, Mrs. C. N. Pirie and Miss Madge Gibson, and three brothers, Messrs. Tom and John of Alberta, and Alex. in Montgomery, Ala. with their families, as well as a host of relatives and friends, to whom she was very warmly attached, and to each and all of whom the heartfelt sympathy of the community is extended in their bereavement.
