Born on lot 17, con. 12, North Easthope, in January 1854, deceased was therefore 53 years of age. He was for many years a prominent and successful farmer, after which he moved to Wellesley and engaged in the implement business for a time. In September 1906 he opened a shoe store in the village and conducted same until April last, when, having bought out Mr. Redy's shoe store in Parkhill, he took up his residence at that place. During the short time he has been here he has worked up a good business, and won the esteem of all.

Two years ago when in Toronto he was struck over the heart with a piece of flying brick from a dynamite explosion, and the result of this has at various times given him trouble.
