    The death occurred in Simcoe on Thursday morning of Albert O. Nickerson of Ayr, in his 72nd year.

He became gradually weaker, however, and passed quietly away on Thursday. He was born in Simcoe and came to Ayr some 44 years ago. For a period of 35 years he was employed as a moulder and blacksmith with the Hilborn Company and for the past seven years had acted as night watchman at the factory of the Hecker-H-0 Company, Limited.

He was a member of the United Church and, prior to the union, was one of the most valued members of the local Methodist Church, being a member of the Quarterly Board and Board of Trustees for many years. He was a man of many esteemable qualities and was highly respected by a host of friends. Besides his widow, whose maiden name was Mary Anderson, he is survived by two sons, Wellington and Laidlaw.

    ___________

    Passing of Cameron Marshall - Not only on the battlefield is Death rampant. It invades the peaceable home of the non-combatant with equal certainty and solemnity. On Tuesday evening Mr. Cameron Marshall was summoned by the Grim Monster, the spirit fleeing its casket of clay at 10:30 o'clock. Mr. Marshall had been ill a little over a year, but was up and about until a couple of weeks before the end came. Being of a quiet and unassuming disposition, he made many staunch friends who will regret his demise. He was born on the farm on which he died, residing there continuously for a period of nearly 55 years. ln religion, he was Presbyterian, a trustee in Knox United Church, and in politics a Reformer; but above and beyond this he was a good neighbor and a worthy citizen of the Empire. Mr. Marshall married about 29 years ago, his bride being Miss Bella Deans, who, together with two sons and two daughters, survives. The family comprises Thos. A., Jas. G., Euphemia and Bessie. The funeral will take place from the family residence, Lot 85, Con. 9, North Dumfries, on Friday afternoon to the Ayr cemetery.

    A Fine Old Pioneer

    Passing of John Lillico, a Prominent Resident of Blenheim -
    Sentinel-Review, April 24)

    The news was received from Drumbo today of the death of Mr. John Lillico, one of the best known and most prominent residents of the Township of Blenheim. Mr. Lillico had been hale and hearty until about six months ago, since which time he has been confined entirely to his home. Old age was the probable cause of death, he being 86 years of age. Mr. Lillico was a member of an intelligent, God-fearing family of five sons and three daughters, who came from Scotland many years ago and settled on Lot 5 in the 10th Con. of Blenheim, when the township was .almost a wilderness. Douglas Lillico, the father of the deceased, was one of the first settlers of the Township of Blenheim, and John Lillico was the last survivor of his five sons. By hard work and intelligent management all of the members of the family prospered, the descendants now being scattered over the northern part of Blenheim and owning some of the very finest farms. Douglas Lillico, the present reeve of Blenheim is a nephew of deceased. A sister, Miss Mary of the 11th con. of Blenheim, survives him. His wife predeceased him quite at number of years ago. Deceased took an active interest in the political history of the country and was well informed in all political matters. He was one of the strong and earnest supporters of the Liberal party and was well known for the argumentative manner in which he could support the positions which he took on the great political questions of the day. He also took a great interest in municipal matters and was, at one time, a member of the Municipal Council of his native township. He had lived on the farm, lot 11, in the 9th concession of Blenheim for a period of sixty years, being one of the early pioneers, and assisted in clearing the fine farm on which he lived and died. A highly respected family of sons and daughters survive him. One of his daughters live in Winnipeg and another is Mrs. H. Davidson of the 11thconcession of Blenheim Township. His son John lives on the old homestead. Deceased was a prominent member and supporter of the Presbyterian Church and was always noted for his punctuality of attendance at the various diets of worship at his church in Drumbo. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, interment being made in Ayr cemetery.

    ___________________________

    Death of Mr. Thomas Marshall
    - The death of this well known and most respected gentleman became known in Galt early Saturday afternoon last, occasioning a general feeling of regret in the wide circle of his friends and acquaintances.

    It is known that Mr. Marshall has been ailing for some months. When last he took his seat as Clerk of North Dumfries Council, it was seen that he did not look robust, still there was nothing in his appearance or manner to indicate that was the last time he would fill his accustomed position there. Shortly after his illness was announced and from then as the days went by, reports became more serious, until it was hopeless to look for any other than the result we announce with so much regret. About three years ago, by a simple accident in his wagon, Mr. Marshall received a severe fall on the back of his head which caused a slight concussion of the brain, and from that time, while not apparent to many, his intimate friends saw a change and that he never was the same man again. At the time of his death he was in his 71st year Mr. Marshall entered into public life when comparatively a young man. He was assessor of the Township first, we think, then collector, subsequently Councilor, Reeve and warden, and finally, after the death of the late Thomas Ballingal, he was appointed Clerk and Treasurer, which offices he held at the time of his death. From the establishment of the North Dumfries and South Waterloo Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company, until about three years ago, he was its Secretary and Treasurer, and it is only needless reiteration to those who knew him, when we say that to every office he brought the same serenity of action, the same uprightness and honor, and that every duty he undertook was discharged faithfully and honestly. He possessed a retentive memory which held tenaciously the details of municipal and other business life, which he was called on to discharge, and few were a better authority upon assessment, school or municipal law then he. Possessed of a serenity of mind, which was proof against annoyances, his duties were to him a pleasure, and in all his intercourse with the public he left behind him only friends. And he was tried severely. Death visited his family so often and took away, one after the other, his daughters, when little more than women, and his wife, yet he went on in the even tenor of his way, submitting quietly and discharging his duties as a humble Christian without repining or giving was to sorrows which would have broken the heart of most men.

    Mr. Marshall leaves but one son and daughter and of his brothers only Mr. Peter Marshall, of South Dumfries, and Mr. Anthony Marshall, of Blenheim, survive. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon last, and no better testimonial to the estimation in which the deceased gentleman was held could have been shown than the long line of carriages filled with old friends which attended the remains to their last resting place in Cedar Creek Cemetery.

    _____________________

    Demise of Oldest Resident - To have lived to the age of nearly 94 years, about 80 of which were spent in Dumfries, is a record that falls to a lot of very few, Mr. Richard Deans of North Dumfries, who passed away on Friday, attained that distinction. He was born in Scotland and came to Canada when in his boyhood, settling with his parents in the section now known as Keg Lane, near Paris. He had, however, resided on the farm on which he died, lot 28, concession 10, North Dumfries, for a period of about 65 years. In 1862 he married, his bride being Miss Euphemia tenant, who predeceased him some years. The family surviving comprises Mrs. Andrew Hall, Blenheim; Matthew K., Waterloo tp.; Mrs. Cameron Marshall, N. D.; Mrs. Thos. Hall, N. D.; Mrs. Jas. Henderson, Waterloo Tp., and James and Edith at home. In religion the deceased was a Presbyterian and attended Stanley street Church, Ayr, before the union. Politically he was a staunch Liberal, and also took a deep interest in municipal affairs, being a member of the township council for a number of years. He was highly respected in the community and a good neighbor. The funeral took place on Monday, when interment was made in the Ayr cemetery, Rev. J. J. Brown conducting the service. The pallbearers were Messrs. Thos. and And. Hall, Jas. Henderson, Stephen Marshall, and Matthew K. and James Deans.
