THURSDAY, NOV. 22nd, 1945 Former Druggist On Bowmanville Dies ln Vancouver . T. E. Higginbotham died at his home at 2522 West 2nd Ave., Van- couver, British Columbia, on Monday, October 29, 1945. The nature of his passing was in char- acter with his whole life, a serene outlook, a fellowship with nature, a calm acceptance of the closing chapter of a life devoted to the highest Christian principles. He suffered not at ahl. Occupied with his usual concerns during the day, he was seated in his favorite chair ini early evenîng and from the windows of his home he looked out across the waters of Burrard Inlet toward the mountains be- yond. In the foreground were ships coming and going from the 1E - 'ýaý * T. E. igginbotham seven seas. On this scene he quietly closed his eyes forever. That is the kind of picture his wide circle of friends in Bowman- ville will wish to remember. For Ed. Higginbotham, after more than thirty years away from his native town, was still held in high- est regard as a man of sterling character and a noble Christian gentleman. He had reached hîs 85th birthday in September and his entîre life had been devoted to his church. He was a member of the Board of the Methodist f Church, now Trinity United Church, Bowmanville, and for many years was a valued and faithful inember of the choir. Living retired at Nelson, B.C., for seventeen years he was a member of the Board of Trinity United Church in that city and for the past seven years hie was a member of Crosley United Church, Vancouver, and was in- S vited to act on its Board. A tal- ented singer, Mr. Higginbotham was a member o! a famed maie quartette at Bowmanville. These t features of high devotion and moral influence he carried with him in business and in daily con- tacts with people. For many years Mr. Higginbo- tham conducted a drug store in1 Bowmanville where the Canadiani Bank of Commerce now stands.1 He succeeded his father the late John Higginbothamn. He left this district in 1913 and spent a year in Calgary and Nelson. His flrst wife, the former Wilhemena Mc-c Dowell, having passed away1 some years before, Mr. Higgin- botham returned to BowmanvilleE in 1914 to marry Miss Jennier McLean, who now survives him.î From 1916 to 1921, he conducteda a drug business at Calgary and1 then retired to Nelson and latert Vancouver. 0f the immediate family who mourn his passing are his widow,t two sons, Hubert C. of Whitby and E. Creighton of Calgary, and one daughter Brita, (Mrs. L. 0. Walton, Cranbrook, B.C. One brother, Alfred of Vancouver is sole survivor o! the original famn- ily. At his latest birthday, Brita and Creighton were with him and enjoyed long walks with the fa- ther who was so soon to pass away. Funeral sevicés were conduct- f ed on Nov. 1, by a great friendE and confidant, Rev. R. W. Hardy,a pastor of Crosby United Church,b who spoke with deep feeling of a S noble associate in church work. Aa wealth of floral tokens bankede the bier in remembrance of a t f aithful friend. A fraternal e wreath from the OddfellowsP marked a lifelong associationiv with that order, for Mr. Higgin- gI bothamn received his 50-year pind in 1936 as a member of Florence t Nightingale 'Lodge, Bowmanville.b He was laid to rest at ForestE Lawn Cemnetery in Vancouver. B Cheerfulness, in most cheerful people, is the rich and satisfying result o! strenuous discipline- Whipple. 1 W.C.T.U. NEWCASTLE Women's Christian Temperance Union met at the home of Mrs. A. E.

He had been ill for a year and a haîf prior to the attack which gradually undermined his strength. He was a pupil at Beth- esda school where he was a gen- eral favorite. His illness also pre- vented continuance at Salem Church and Sunday School where he was beloved by alI. Everett was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewellyn Hayes, Con. 5, Lot 6, Darlington, who with two sons, Harley and Lloyd, remain to mourn the passing of a most loy- able Christian character, a son and brother now so greatly missed at home. The general affection in which this young boy was held was ex- presed in the funeral sermon de- livered by his pastor Rev. A. E. Cresswell on the day o! the funer- ai, Nov. 17. At the Morris Fun- eral Chapel where the services were held a great bank o! floral wreaths expressed the affection of the many in attendance, flowers from Salem Sunday School, Beth- esda School and very many friends.

Darch, Welcome; Mrs. Frank Peate, Orono; Mr. and Mrs. Art Lymer, Will Lymer, Mrs. G. Hart, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Lymer, Oshawa and Mr. and Mrs. George Barbour, Courtice.
