• Notes

  JAMES Phin, of Waterloo Township, resides upon a very fine farm a short distance north of Hespeler, a view of which appears among our illustrations on another page. He is the eldest son of James Phin, a native of Roxburghshire, Scotland, who spent the greater portion of his youth in the County Monaghan, Ireland, in charge of a large estate, removing to Canada in 1833. The subject of our sketch is President of the Reform Association of the township, has been a Justice of the Peace for a number of years, as has his father also, both of whom have been considered as among the thoroughly representative agriculturists of the township. Illustrated Atlas of the County of Waterloo, H. Parsell & Co., Toronto, Ont. 1881 __________ Died, At "The Grange," Hespeler, on Thursday, January 24th, 1901, at 11 o'clock, p.m. James P. Phin, Aged 59 years, 9 months and 17 days. Funeral Will take place from his late residence, "The Grange," on Sunday, January 27th, at 2:30 o'clock p.m. Friends will kindly accept this intimation. Hespeler, January 26th 1901. Funeral Card _______________ DEATH OF JAS. P. PHIN, J. P. J. P Phin, justice of the peace, and one of the most representative agriculturists of Waterloo county, died on Thursday evening, Jan 24th at his home, "The Grange," near Hespeler, after a week's illness. He was in his 60th year, and death was caused by pneumonia. Mr Phin, who was the defeated Liberal Reform nominee for the south riding of Waterloo, in the last Provincial election, held many important offices. He was a director of the North Dumfries and South Waterloo Fire Insurance Company, and in recognition of his efficient services was elected president of the company but death a few hours later prevented him from ever filling the office. He was also a director as well as a member of the managing board of the Guelph and Ontario Investment and Saving Society, and was director of the South Waterloo Farmers' Institute, and a member of the South Wellington Agricultural Society. J R Phin was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a Methodist by religion. He was also noted all over Canada as a breeder of Shropshire sheep and short-horn cattle, his flocks and herds on his magnificent farm near Hespeler including many highbred registered animals. The funeral was held on Sunday and was very largely attended by many prominent people from the district and from a distance. The Chronicle Telegraph, 31 Jan 1901, p. 4
