Mr. John J ohns,one of Hampton's oldest and most 1 highly respected r esidents, passed a.way to his eternal r est on Friday night Nov. 7th . On Monday the 10th. inst., a large n umber of friend~ and re ~ lations followed t he r emains to t he church where a service was conduct ed by l1r::v. ·J. Whitlock who delivered a short and ap· propriate discourse, taking for his subj ect "!Blessed ar ~ the dead which die in the Lorcl from hence forth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that th ey may rest from their laborers; and t heir works do follow them. " Thence to the B. C. Cemetery where our departed was laid to rest. J\llr. J olrns had not been '.Yell for some time, but was not co ,;inecl to his bed only three days when death put an end to his suffering which was great. But let us r ejoice for that which is our loss is his eternal gain. Our departed and esteemed friend was born on the farm known :is " Totley" in the parish of Hatherleigh, Devonshire, England in the year 1823. I n t he year 1849 he and his father and remainder of the family emig1·a ted t o Canada and took up this home in the village of Hampton where he remained until his last days. His occupation was carriage making and the works of his hands may be seen all over the county of Durham and d ifferent parts of Ontario. He was always a staunch R eformer, he was al so a true christian, having been brough t into the ch urch in the year 1855 under the wor ks of Rev. J ohn H ooper in which he continued unt il death severed hi~ connection from amongst us. He was a faithful husband 11,n d a loving parent . OUR LovED AND LosT. Time hath no power to bare away Thine image from our hearts, No:Scenes that mark life's onward way Can bid it hence depart ; Yet whi!P. our 80Uls, with an11:uish riven, Mourn, loved and lost, for thee, We raise our tearful eyes to heaven, And joy that t hou art free. We miss thee from the band so dear ')'hat gathers round our hearth ; We listen still thy voice to hear. Amid our hou8ehold mkth ; We gaze upon thy vacant chair, Thy form we seem to see ; We start to fi nd thou art not there, Yct j oy that thou art free. .Amid ei<rth'~ conflicts, woe and care, When dark our path appears, Tis sweet to know thou can'st not hear Our anguish and our tear~ : That on thy head no more shall f &ll The storms we may not flee Yes, safely sheltered from them all, I We joy that thou art free. For thou hast gained brighter land, And doath'e~cold ~tream is past, Thine are the joys at God's right hand, That shall forevernlast . A crown is on thy wrinkied brow, Thine eye the K ing d~th see; 'l'hy borne is with the seraphs now, We joy that thou art f'ree. A light is frJ m the houseeolci. one, A voice we loved h s till ; A place in vacant at our home, Which never can be filled. CU URTIGE~ ENFI ELD. Hurrah ! " R ing out the loud acclatm.
