McTavish, who passed away at his home here in his 70th year after being in failing health for some time. I Deceased was born ia Inverness, Scot- ; hind, in 1824, and when but a year old ' his parents sailed for Carracas, South America. Not liking that country they came north the followina year, locating tirst at Guelph, where they resided till the subject of this sketch Wiis 18 years of age, when, in 1842, or over 60 yours ago, lie moved uy into Ei^remont, being one of the first settlers, about a mile above OrchardviUe. About ten years afterwards ho married a Miss .McLellaii, who still lives as his widow. In 1870 he moved to the third concession of Norraanby, to the bicality which wag given his name, Mc- | Tavish's Comers. There he lived until i four years ago when he moved to Mt. Forest, He is the last survivor of his family, and besides his widow leaves to . honor his memory a family of four sons ; and four daughSens, as follows: John and . Alex, of Petoskey, Mich. , (the latter be ins at the funeral)^ Daniel of Fleaherton, ] and Angus at hoinc;Mrs.Croftoii of Ham- [ ilton; Misa Kate McTavish, of Syracuse, | N.Y.; Mrs. Cadden, of Dotri.it, and Miss j Euphemia McTavish, at home, all the daughters beini! at the funeral, which took place oa Saturday to the Orchard- ville cemetery and was largely attended ctmsidering the tad s;ate of the weather. DINVhOODIE Mrs. Sarah Diawoodie, relict of the late John Dinwoodie, died on Wednesday of last week at the residence of her son- in-law, Mr. Wm. Sloan, Kimberley, aged 84 years. Mrs. Dinwoodie was, with her husband, among the very first settlers in this township, having settled on their farm one mile north of Fleshertim in the year 1848. They could give some inter- esting reminiscences of pioneer hf'». Among other interesting events they were with the first half dozen 3«-ttlers who bitnded togetiier to secure rehijtous ser- vices. Both Sir. and Mrs. Dinwoodie were natives of Ireland, warm hearted, staunch Methodists, and commanded a iarae degree of respect and honor anions those who knew them. Both died in ad- Ta:.ceit yeais and after lives well spent. Mrs. Dinwoodie w;is pro-deceased by her husband seven years Uat August, since which time she lias been the guest .if her daughter, Mrs Wm. Sloan. The funeiul took place to Flesherron cemetery on Friday bist. Service was held in the .Mi-thodi-t cliurch previous to interment. Thus cue by one the old guardâ€" the eiirly architects of our countryâ€" drift into the pa-st. There are not many now remaining of those who saw the first trees felled and the fiist crofK ruised in this county.
