TO HIS REWARD.

The Brown City Banner gives the following obituary of the late Wendell Clemens, who was well known throughout Berlin and Waterloo County:

We are called upon this week to chronicle the death and burial of Wendell Clemens. who departed this life at 11 o'clock a. m. Saturday Aug 7h, at his home, one mile north and a half mile west of Deanville, Lapeer county, after a lingering illness covering about ten years with rheumatism, but was not seriously ill till about six weeks ago when heart trouble and dropsy set in, since which time he grew worse till as above stated the summons came, but not unexpected, and the good old man was ready to go to meet the reward of a Christian life, leaving the evidence to his dear companion and children of a glorious immortality beyond the grave. The funeral, which was very largely attended by sorrowing relatives, neighbors and friends, was held from the Mennonite church at this place Tuesday, Rev John McNally, of Blair, Ont, an old neighbor and bosom friend of the deceased officiating, assisted by Rev SS Rosenburger. Undertaker Jas Black, of Deanville, had charge of the corpse. The interment took place in the Brown City cemetery.

Wendell Clemens was born Dec 28, 1823, in the township of Dumfries, Waterloo County, Ont, and at death was 73 years, 7 months and 21 days old. He was united in marriage to Catherine Unger, Nov 25th, 1845, who still survives him. There was born to them twelve children, tens sons and two daughters, eleven of whom are living as follows: Mrs Oliver Burgey, of New Dundee, Ont.; Benjamin and Jes, of Berlin, Ont.; Nathaniel of Newstadt, Ont.; Moses of Burnside, Mich.; Wendell, of Berlin, Henry, of Waterloo, Ont.; James, of Burnside, Mich.; John, of Waterloo, Ont.; Allen, the only one still at home, and Mrs Louis Bluck, of Hespeler, Ont.

Deceased was a kind husband and a loving father. During his sickness he suffered a great deal but was very patient and towards the end longed to go home to be free from pain. The end was very peaceful and he passed away as one going into a peaceful sleep. He with his companion was converted to God 46 years ago, when they joined the Mennonite church and have ever since been faithful members.

The family wish to kindly thank the friends and neighbors for kindness and attention during their sad bereavement.

A Pioneer Gone:

The passing at his home on Concession 11, North Dumfries, on Monday last, one who has been known in this vicinity for more than fifty - eight years. Thomas Henderson was born on the farm known as Abbot-Ruel in Roxburghshire, Scotland. In January 1829, at the age of 33 years, he married Miss Janet Henderson, who, though of the same name, was not a blood-relation. Of this union were born twelve children, eight of whom are still living. In the year 1831, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson came to Canada to make their home. On May 26th of that year they arrived in Galt, which was then a small village. Shortly afterwards they moved to the farm now occupied by Mr. R. Cochrane, North Dumfries. Remaining there a short time they next took the farm now in the possession of Mr. Wm. Morton, whence they went to the farm where Mr. Henderson ended his days, Lot 30, 11th Concession, settling there April 2nd 1842. Amongst those who came to this country about the same time as the deceased was his brother John Henderson; Thomas Adams, who served under Lord Nelson; James Davidson of Keg Lane; Robert Cranston; David Brown; John Kerr and John Mathison. Of these, we are informed that the first four named came in the same vessel with him. All have passed over to the great majority, some of them being laid to rest many years ago. So far as is known Mr. Henderson was the last remaining of the heroic old pioneers of North Dumfries, who endured much hardship and many privations that they might leave to those following, the fair heritage they now possess. All honour to such man, the memories of whose noble deeds cannot be too highly cherished by their descendants. Some 15 years ago Mr. Henderson gave up the management of the farm, his son John, with whom he has since resided, succeeding him. up to within five days of his death, he was able to move about the house, although the once robust form had failed. He has attained the patriarchal age of 93 years. His aged partner in life's joys and sorrows has the sympathy of a large circles of relatives and friends. Although 83, Mrs. Henderson is yet quite active and so lightly has time passed over her that she retains the natural colour of her hair much more than some of their children. Thier surviving children are Mrs. Chas. Rodgers of Wawanash Township, William of Ayr; James of Reidsville; Mrs. T. Mathison, of Strasburg; Thomas C., of Ayr; Mrs. James Henry, of Egremont Township; John, on the homestead and Robert E. living on Concession 10, North Dumfries. The funeral, which took place on Wednesday, to Cedar Creek cemetery was largely attended.
