  • Notes 
    • On Tuesday evening of last week there passed away to rest, a life-long resident of this community, in the person of Mr. James Pirie. Some six years ago Mr. Pirie suffered a paralytic stroke which left him an invalid and unable to resume his former occupation. Mr. Pirie was a man of outstanding, upright character, whose friendly smile and kind words at all times endeared him to those who came in contact with him. He was an Elder in Chalmer's church here for many years, and when able was a faithful Sunday School teacher.

      He leaves to mourn their loss, one son, John, who is now in Toronto, Mrs. Wm. Sherriffs, Jr., Mrs. Well Snyder, Mrs. William Mitchell and Mrs. Hugh Woods, all residing near Winterbourne.

      The funeral took place from the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Hugh Woods, where he had resided of late years, to the winterbourne Cemetery, on Sunday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. A. M. Hamilton, his former Pastor.
