BLACKBURN good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, " The speak- er dwdt on the useful life lived by Mr. Blackburn notwithstanding the handicap of sickness which had claim- ed him for thirty-five years, and the Christian life he had lived surmount- ing his difficulties and always having a cheery '3isposition and a kind word of greeting for all. Truly those words in 2nd Timothy were a direct description of the character, and Christian life which Ikfr. Blackburn lived. A beautifully rendered quar- tette by Messrs Dr Murray, F. W. Duncan, Rev. H. H. Eaton and W. B. A. Cross, entitled, "Steal away to Jesus," which the de<;eased had en- joyed listening to, over the telephone from the annii^l church meeting in the Methodist church, to which sum- mons he had quietly answered some fifteen minutes later. " Prince Ar- thur Lodge A. F. & A. M.,333, of which the late Mr Blackburn was a Past Master, conducted a short ser- vice at the house and grave, and gave Craft honours to a brother who had served faithfully and well in the in the interests of Masonry. ^' Revs. H. H. Eaton and Rev. Shan- non of Mclntyre also spoke words of comfort to the bereaved ones. The late Jos. Blackburn w^as a son of the late Wm. Blackburn, and was born at Laskay, in North York, on April 4th 1857, and when 10 years of age moved with his father to a farm four miles south-east of this village. At about 15 years of age, he went to Collingwood and worked as a clerk in the store of the late Wm.. Neff, and after a year came to Flesherton, and was employed as a clerk in the store of the late Wm. Wright, now occupied by W. T. Fin- dlay. Afterwards he went*into the store of the late Matthew Richard son, M, P., his business ability quick- advancing him to a partnership. In 1888 he was married to Ella Ayers. daughter of the late Rev. Wal- ter Ayers, who was pastor of the Methodist church here. .\bout a year aftev he contracted Lagrippe, a disease which was prevalent at that time, the effects from which', he never recovered. The dread disease settled in his^, spine and in his eyes, making him a constant sufferer for thirty-five years. He was ? staunch Presbyterian in. religion, being an Elder and Treas- urer in Chalnier's church here. He was a Past .Master in Prince Arthur Iiodgc A.F.&A.M, in Flesherton, an Oddfellow and a Qpnservative in poli- tics.
