VETERAN BUSINESS MAN PASSES AWAY

James Gullies, Sr., Succumbs To Lengthy Illness; Came To Preston In 1894

Citizens of Preston today mourned the death of another of its merchants in the person of James Gillies, Sr., for many years a prominent coal and lumber dealer here. His death came about nine o'clock this morning after an illness that caused his retirement from active interest in his business the latter part of 1928. He was in his 85th year. The late Mr. Gillies was born at Vankleek Hill, Ontario, and lived for a time prior to his coming to Preston in 1890 in London Ontario, Idaho and Wisconsin. Ten years before taking up business here, the late Mr. Gillies owned and operated a coal and wood business in Paris, but when he came to town he bought out an established concern which, in recent years, has grown considerably, in the firm of J. M. Gillies and Son of Preston, the deceased was associated with his son, the late Robert Gillies until the latter's death in 1907. James Gillies Jr., has been connected with the firm as a partner since 1912. Through the years of his residence in Preston, the late James Gillies, Sr., took a keen interest in the public life of the district. He served several years on the municipal council of Preston. In politics he was a staunch Conservative. His wife predeceased him in 1910. There survive one son, James Jr., and two daughters, Mrs. (Dr.) McKendrick of Galt and Mrs. Mabel McIntosh of Preston. Funeral arrangements will be announced tomorrow.

"Golden Wedding"

On Wednesday of last week being the fiftieth Anniversary of the wedded life of Mr. and Mrs. John McIntosh, a number of friends took advantage of the occasion and met at their residence on Colquohoun Street. The guest were

Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Wellesley St. London, Ontario;
Mr. and Mrs. Watts, Guelph, Ontario
Thomas, their son,
Mrs. Haugh of Guelph,
Mrs. Hunnard, their daughter from Toronto
and a number of neighbors.

Letters were received from absent members of their family couched in terms of parental respect and expressing sincere regard for their happiness for years to come. Mr. McIntosh first met with his wife at the residence of her brother GOLLANFIELD, Invernessshire, Scotland in the year 1834. After a patriarchial courtship of seven years, Miss Elizabeth Gollan became Mrs. John McIntosh. Continuing in the occupation of farming for a few ears, they decided on leaving their native hills and glens and going far away. Arriving at the shores of the Atlantic, they found a vessel ready to sail for America in which they secured passage and in due time arrived in New York. Being possessed of energy, integrity of character and goodness of soul, besides his large and stalwart appearance, Mr. McIntosh was readily offered employment but having been brought up a farmer he could not lose sight of a valuable certainty for problematical expectations. So, he pushed his way westward in search of land arriving in North Dumfries (Waterloo County) in 1852. He found some of his own clan had preceded him and as the land was good to look upon, he leased a farm now occupied by John Mitchell, 9th Concession. His venture was attended by success and finding farming profitable he some years later purchased a farm a mile east of Ayr which he cultivated with much care and economy and in the course of years he accumulated sufficient of the currency of the country to retire from active life. Purchasing a residence in this Village (Ayr) to which he removed six years ago, he and his respected partner now spend their days in acts of Christian kindness and mull over the events of past years.

Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh were the recipients of may a number of very handsome and valuable gold presents. The cake that adorned the feast was built by our respected Baker and Confectioner, John Murray, and was a marvel of beauty and completeness.

After ample justice had been done to the good things provided, Mr. Robert Findlater presided at the organ and played the Mendelssohn wedding march and other suitable airs with poetic feeling and artistic manipulation. The happy Company separated with warmest wishes for long life and prosperity to Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh.
