      Henry Gilles passed away at his home here a little before seven o'clock this morning. Death came as the result of a paralytic stroke suffered last spring from the effects of which Mr. Gilles never recovered.

      The deceased was 73 years old. He had been a resident of St. Jacobs for more than 40 years. During that time he conducted the Gilles Hardware which he disposed of only a few months ago to the Hollinger Hardware. In religion Mr. Gilles was a Lutheran and he attended St. James' Lutheran church, St. Jacobs.

      He was predeceased by his first wife in 1919 and by a son who passed away suddenly one year ago. He is survived by his second wife, one daughter, Mrs. Clayton Peterson of Kitchener and one son, Oliver of St. Jacobs. Also surviving are eight grandchildren, one brother and one sister in the United States and one sister n Kitchener.

      The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon leaving the house at two o'clock and proceeding to St. James' Lutheran church for service. Interment will be made in the St. James' Lutheran cemetery. Rev. Mr. Wittig of Conestogo will have charge of the service.
