R. Graham, on the highway south of Markdale. He was in his 85th year and had been ill and confined to his bed for less than two weeks, suf- fering fror.: troubles incident to old age. The late Mr. Graham was born in Dumfrieshire, Scotland, in 1853, and came while very young with his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Graham, and older members of the family to Canada. After a brief period with friends in Innisfil, Simeoe county, the family came on to Nottawa. Later, about 1855, they arrived in Artemesia township and settled on a bush farm, part of the present Graham farm at Vandeleur. Of a family of six, four sons and two daughters, Mr. J. I. Graham, the second youngest, was the last to pass on. All lived to a good old age, four reaching the mid-eighties and two the late seventies. Mr. Graham was one of the fore- most farmers of his dey. For over 50 years he has been a breeder of purebred Shorthorn cattle, and was also intensely interested in producing the best varieties of fruits and veg- etables, especially apples. For many years he was a director of the Ontar- io Fruit Growers' Association and for many years judged fruit, flowers, vegetables, etc., at agricultural fairs. He was a past President and Honor- ary Life Director of Markdale Ag- ricultural Society, and was for many years a director of the Flesherton and East Grey Agricultm-al Society. For over 40 years he was Secretary-Treas- urer of the Farmers' Institute and travelled throughout the county with tHe speakers conducting meetings. Previous to that he was secretary of the Grange, an early organization among farmers for their mutual ben- efit. For a number of years he served on the Artemesia Municipal Council. He was also county weed inspector and it was his proud boast that there wasn't a weed, apple, or flower grow- ing in the county that he couldn't name. He was passionately fond of flowers and his garden was one of his bobbies. He loved one sport and that was baseball and he was a clever left- hand pitcher for one of Vandeleur's ball teams in his younger days. He was a member of Vandeleur Court of the Canadian Order of Foresters and acted as recording Secretary for many years. In 1887 Mr. Graham was married to Miss Margaret Blair of this locality, who predeceased him about one year and a half ago. Surviving are four sons and two daughters, namely: Howard I. Graham of Vandeleur; Wil- fred R. south of Markdale; David A. of Kimberley; Russell of the 7th line, Euphrasia; May of Vandeleur, and Mrs. R. Freeman (.-Vnnie), townline A. and E. There are also 14 grand- children. An upright Christian man, Mr. Graham was a life-long member of the Vandeleur Methodist Chui-ch, now United, in which for many years he was a member of the Official Board, Superintendent of the Sunday School and teacher of the Bible cla.ss. He was a life-long temperance advocate and held a SO-yeai' honor medal from the Sons of Temperance. The funeral took place on Monday, April 4th and was largely attended. Service was held in the Vandeleur Church and was conducted by the pastor. Rev. H. S. Warren, after which the remains were placed in the vault in Markdale cemetery.

The bride's on- ly attendant was her sister, Miss Clara McClennan of Eimwood, who was becomingly gowned in rose crepe with white hat and accessories. The groom's attendant was his brother, Mr. Frank Hobbs of Massey Station. During the signing of the register Mr. Irwin Mclnt.yre sang "O L ~vo that will not let me go."
