Deceased occupied title position of school trustee for many years. and as such always took great interest in the efficiency of the school and the welfare and comfort of the scholars. In politics he. was a staunch Liberal and he always took a keen interest in local affairs. He joined the Methodist church some years ago, and was an active worker in the good cause. At the time of his death he was a trustee of the church, and assistant class leader and steward of the Glenallan appointment. He was twice married. Four sons and four daughters are left to mourn the lose of a kind and indulgent father. The funeral was held on Tuesday and was attended by a large number of friends and neighbors, who in this manner showed their respect for the deceased. The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
