Notes:

Miss Clarissa Illingworth Walker - Following an illness of over eight months, borne with the utmost Christian fortitude there passed to her rest, at her residence, "Cedar Lawn" Huron Road, Wilmot Township, Miss Clarissa Illingworth Walker, on Saturday, August 8th. She was a daughter of the late Thomas Walker and Maria Illingworth, pioneer residents of Wilmot Township, and lived all her life at the family homestead.

Miss Walker was an active and regular worshipper at St. James' Church, Wilmot, and Christ Church, Haysville. For over 40 years she presided at the organ in St. James, the mother church of Wilmot Parish. She was the Hon. Pres. Of the Wilmot branch of the Women's Auxiliary, a life member as well, and one of the few Charter Members of this branch formed 43 years ago. Miss Walker was always devoted to the work of the church, but specially its missionary work. She was one of those rare and noble spirits of god who are always such an example and inspiration by their devotion to the higher things of life. None could be more highly respected and beloved throughout the Parish.

The Women's Institute and kindred community work also had its place in the life of Miss Walker. She was a past President of the W.I. and an always interested worker in anything that stood for the welfare of the community and church.

The funeral took place on Tuesday the 11th inst., from the family residence, following a brief service for the family. The public service was held at St. James' Church, which was filled with sorrowing friends and neighbors, the interment taking place in the family plot adjoining. The service was taken by the Rector, Rev. J. H. Pogson, the simple and beautiful Anglican burial service making a deep impression on all present. Sorrow and triumph, dignity and simplicity, were the outstanding features of the service. Sorrow, because of the departure of one greatly beloved, and who had been such a useful servant of god. Triumph, because of the close of a life lived close to and in full trust in her Saviour. Favorite hymns used were: "For all the saints who from their labours rest"; "Jesus the very thought of Thee"; "Art thou weary, art thou languid"?

The pallbearers were all nephews, R.T. Puddicombe and F.T. Walker, of Haysville, A.I. and T.F. Walker, of London, and K.K. Walker and R.M. Puddicombe of Toronto.

Notes:

Give us your rapt attention
Oh maidens fancy free,
Here are the Leap Year Chances
That will make your sorrows free.

Carl Anderson has been patient
Looking forward to the year,
Now if some girls would ask him
It would fill his heart with cheer.

Fred Walker is another
Still in the Bachelor's row,
He'd accept you any minute
Anyone would tell you so.

Harry Miller, a real good farmer
Has no time for girls at all,
So it's plain your hours are wasted
When on him you call.

Then comes Bruce Graham
As patient as can be,
If the girls think he won't marry,
Just ask him once and see.

Jack Tye, a fine young man is he,
He smiles and that with vim,
But Girls don't waste your precious time
A Milverton girl's got him.

John Graham is still at large,
And many a girl would sigh
And the prospect would be bright,
So it's really worth a try.

Ed Anderson, happy as can be,
For him a girl should try
Just put your cake upon the shelf
You'll get him by and by.

Reg Puddicombes' grand big house
Without a wife looks bare,
But before some girl gets him,
You'll have to use a snare.

York and Arthur Nahrgang
Two handsome lads they be,
Now girls don't miss asking them
Or these two will go free.

Norman Kocher is still with us
And he is going to stay,
So if some girl proposes,
I'm sure that it will pay.

Clarence Graham and Joe Brenneman,
Both young you must agree,
If you think they would not want you,
Just ask them once and see.

So all you girls in Haysville,
Who chance to this rhyme
The "Bachelors" of the neighbourhood
Await you to name the time.

Now show them you can do it,
The way is surely clear,
Pick out "your man" and bear in mind
It's a long time till next leap year.

HAYSVILLE BOY WAS BURIED NEAR VIMY RIDGE

Henry Walker, of Haysville, who is well-known ip Kitchener was a visitor at the Court House on Saturday where he called on his old schoolmaster, Governor Cook, and his old schoolmate County Clerk Cassel. Mr. Walker recently sacrificed his son Clinton Tye Walker in the battle of Vimy Ridge. Pte. Walker was a member of the 111th Battalion and was only in the trenches when he met his death. The heroic young man made the supreme sacrifice as he was charging with his company up the steep declivity of the ridge. He was hit by a shell. His father stated this morning that he received word from the front that his boy was buried near where he fell and that a number of his comrades, who were brother Masons, held the Masonic ceremonial over his grave and also hung a Masonic emblem on the cross which stands at the head of the young hero.
