DEATH OF WILLIAM HENRY CLEMENS.

At his residence on Oak street, Galt, on Sunday, Mr. Walter H. Clemens, son of the late Mr. Oliver Clemens, passed away in his forty-eighth year.

Mr. Clemens had been a sufferer for a long time, a victim of consumption, but an attack of hemorrhage absorbed all the strength that had been left by the insidious disease. He was born in the county of Waterloo and had spent all his life on his farm at Blair. Last spring he retired from business and lived in Preston, and it was only revently he went to Galt to reside.

Deceased had been twice married, and now leaves a widow and five children by his first wife and one by its second. A brother and sister also are left to mourn his loss, Mrs. Joseph Stauffer, of Galt, and Dr. G. H. Clemens, of Toronto.

The remains of the deceased gentleman were laid to rest in Blair cemetery Tuesday afternoon, the first part of the burial service being held Blair church.
