Thornton, 70 WellVngton Street, North, veteran Woodstock Mason and retired industrialist. died very suddeniy while in the act of making a presentation at Ox- ford IAc The occasion xvas Past Masters' Night and also the 5th ypar of membership of .1. Cordon Archi- bald, another Woodstock Masori and close friend of Mr. Thorntoii. who was receiving his jewel. Mr. Thornton was nearing the end of the presentation address, when he was suddenly seized with a heart attack and expired in a few minutes. Dr. Harry Granger of the Ontario Hospital staff was present at the meeting and at- tended the stricken man at once, with others assisting. but nothing could be done. The lodge was quickly closed down and the balance of the ev- ening's program céancelled. The occurrence happened so suddeniy and with such a tragie ending that the large gathering could flot ralize what had actu- aliy happened in the space of a few minutes. Mr. Thornton was born at Orono, Ont., and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Thornton. 1 He came- to Woodstock in 1888 tthe D. W. Karn Piano Co., and was employed in the office. He later went to Listowel to the Morris Piano Co. and remained there as manager for six years. When the amalgamation of the Karn and Morris firms was com- pieted he returned to Woodstock as president and general manager I e e Although the world now provides lots of material for gloomy prophets Who long for "the good old days," it is perhaps something of a tonie to refleet that there is nothing new in this feeling. In 1801 Wiiberforce, the social reformer, said: "I dare not marry; the future is so uncertain." In 1806 Wm. Pitt, the great British statesman, exclaimed: "There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair." Another British statesman, Disraeli, moaned thus one hundred years ago - "In Industry, commerce and agriculture there is no hope," and the great "Iron Duke" Wellington, declared in 1852: "1 thank God 1 shall be spared from seeing the consummation of the ruin that is gathering around us." 0 SHEPPARD &,- GJLL LUMIER COMPANY LIMITE» KING ST.
