..:.r fHE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Wednesday, February 24, 1937 r * .4 s 'â- â- â€¢ t SWINTON PARK PRICEVILLE THE LATE GEORGE BLACK On Friday nioining, February 12, Mr. George Black, while playing with his little grandson, was suddenly stricken with a paralytic stroke. Dr. Carter of Dundalk was called and was often with his patient during the following days, but death was im- minent and on Thursday morning, February l8th, Mr. Black passed away He leaves as chief mourners, his wife, two daughters, Edna (Mrs. Lyman Jackson) of Toronto, and Mary (Mi-s. Robt. Knox) of Little Britain, and three sons, Robert in Toronto, Wil- fred at Black's Beach and George at the old home, one sister, Henrietta, i (Mrs. Wright) of Rockwood, one brother, Joseph Black of Proton, also eleven grandchildren and three great grandchildren, and a host of nephews and nieces. The funeral took place on Saturday, February 20th. Rev. Wm. Mcin- tosh of Dundalk conducted the services at the home, in the church, and at the grave-side. A very large gather- ing of old friends and neighbors showed sympathy and respect by their presence. George Black was born on December 16th, l&tyl, on the farm where he died, thus was "5 years and two months of age, and all those years has resided ' in this community. On the 25th ot | December 1889, he married Elizabeth Haw, also of this place, and together they prospered, always able to pay their way, aiid give a helping hand to a neighbor or anyone in need. George lived a quiet, inoffensive life, never had an enemy. He could say yes, also no, and his word was ever reliable. His two brother-in-laws, John and George Haw, and four nearest neigh- bors, Neil McMillan, John Lane, Ed- ward Heard and Samuel McMurdo were pallbearers. Mr. Black, many years ago became a member of Swin- ton Park Presbyterian Church, always regular in attendance, while in health, and was consistent in its support. He will long be missed in the church and in the neighborhood, where his advice often was sought, regarding the care j of sick or injured animals, and on all ; aspects of farm routine. The sympathy of a wide community goes out to the bereaved wife and family in this their time of trouble. vVTiile he will be greatly missed, every, one can say. I benefitted by knowing George Black, and his quiet, helpful, life will encourage many to follow in his footsteps. The February meeting of St. Col- umba W. M. S. and W. A. was held On the 17th at the home of Misses B. and E. James, and was well attend- ed.

The Woman's Association are planning for a supper and entertain- ment in the church on March 17th. A H:ood program is now being prepared. The chief supper dish will be Irish stew. The fame of this dish, as made by our ladies has spread a- broad. The annual meeting of the congre- gation of St.^Columba United Church was held on Feb. 18th. A good re- presentation of members and adher- ents was present. The pastor, Rev. H. E. Wright presided and Mr. F. P. Reiley was secretary.
