Demise of Wm. Hall - Another old and life-long resident of this section passed away on Saturday night in the person of William Hall, of New Dundee, who died at the Woodstock hospital, in his 79th year. The deceased had been ailing all winter and spent about a month in the hospital. He was born in Scotland and came to Canada with his parents when in infancy. They settled on the old Hall homestead Perry's Corners and here the deceased spent the greater part of his life, retiring seven years ago, since which time he had resided at New Dundee. He was one of the sturdy pioneers who did his share in making the wilderness bloom, and who was an active participant in, and a witness of the rapid strides made by the province which became his adopted country. He was a Presbyterian in religion, a Liberal in politics, and a man of many excellent traits of character. He was twice married, his first wife being Elizabeth Young of Ayr and his surviving wife's maiden name was Maggie Bunyan. Two sons and one daughter also survive. They are Andrew Y., Toronto, William on the homestead, and Arabelle (wife of Rev. D. C. Ramsay of New Liskeard). The funeral which took place from his late home, New Dundee, to the Ayr cemetery, on Tuesday was largely attended, the obsequies being conducted by deceased's pastor, Rev. D. Il Ellison of Stanley-St. Church. The pallbearers were: And. O. and John Hall, Plattsville; Andrew Hall, Drumbo; John and Thos. Hall, Ayr, and A. R. Hall, Thornhill.
