    • FUNERAL OF J. W. CHRISTMAN

      The funeral of the late J. W. Christman of Hespeler was held on Friday afternoon. There was a large gathering of friends and relatives from near and far, who came to pay their last tributes of respect to one they esteemed in life. The suddenness of his taking-off made the blow doubly hard to bear, and Mrs. Christman consequently was prostrated with grief and unable to accompany her husband's remains even to the church. Had she been able to do so, the eulogy paid him by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Stewart, would have comforted her.

      The pastor spoke of the deceased as a useful and energetic member of the Presbyterian church; a teacher in its Sunday School; one who desired to exercise his faith in everyday life, and one whom he was pleased to call a friend. His demise is a loss to both the church and community.

      To those who knew the deceased as a commercial traveller only, he was liked for his kindly demeanor and the sunshine of his intercourse.
