  • Notes 
    • Laid at Rest.

      The remains of the late James Vinton Mitchell were laid to rest Tuesday afternoon. A short service was held at the home of his parents, conducted by Rev. A. M. Hamilton of Guelph. After the service the cortege proceeded to Chalmers Church where an impressive sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. Robt. Bruce, taking his text from the 22nd chapter of Revelation and the fourth verse: "And they shall see His face and His name shall be in their foreheads." Rev. J. Lowe of Galt sang a very appropriate solo After the ceremony at the church the cortege proceeded to the Presbyterian Cemetery, where interment took place.

      Deceased was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell, and was thirty years of age. He had a bright and very genial disposition and was a general favorite with all who knew him.

      The numerous floral offerings were beautiful silent expressions of love and sympathy. The community join in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
