THE LATE NOAH WHITMARSH Reeve of Westport, Who Died Last Thursday, The citizens of Westport and those of the district surrounding that thriv- ing village were terribly shocked last Thursday afternoon to.learn of the death of the popular and very highly estemmed reeve, Noah Whit- marsh, who succumbed to a short illness of appendicitis. The ailment was not considered at first to be of a serious nature but the development of complications brought about dis- Isolution quite unexpectedly, causing deep sorrow to many hearts, which had learned to love and adwiire the man for his estimable qualities. The late Mr. Whitmarsh, who had attained the age of fifty-nine years, was born and raised on the "Whit- marsh homestead in 'the township of North Crosby, being the eldest of a family of six children." . The "deceased conducted farming operations along progressive, scientif- {ic lines, his property extending into {the village which gave him status in that municipality. Mr. Whitmarsh was possibly better known in Brock- ville and thronghou, Leetis county as a drover. For the\past twenty-five years he dealt in live stock for the Montreal and Ottawa markets, mak- ing almost weekly shipments of cat- tle and hogs. His straightforward business methods and fair denling, together with a genial and kindly manner, won the confidence and good will of those with whom he was brought into contact. Notwithstanding his own busy mercantile pursuits, Mr. Whitmarsh found time to serve his day and generation in a public capacity. He Was honored by eléction several terms to the municipal council of the township of North Crosby add in the capacity of reeve was a valu- ed member of the coutities counch. Since his removal to WeStbort As took the same active intérest in the tivic affairs of the village and this r succeeded his brother as reevé, ng elected to 'the office by azela- 'mation. He brought to bear in that capacity long years of municipal ex- perience and the village bids f:if to thrive and progress 'this Yen: as it Hever 'did before, under His tenure of office: Mr. Whitmarsh never mar- ivi and the surviving members of e ly are three 'brothers, John H., Bdward O., and William iy and two sisters, all of Wast- Ite . The funeral took place Saturday afternoon under the direction of the whore Masonic lodge, of = which Was a member. The services Were conducted by Rev. Mr. Bald- Win of the Methodist ¢hurel; assiy- ted by Rev.

He was sitting up late with his foxhunting friends when a suggestion was made that his "lady should be "blooded" --a ceremony consisting of drinking a cup, of claret in which the brush of the fox last killed was put. My lady was sent for, Seated at the table, the rite 'was explained to her, and the noxious draught placed be- § fore her. She refused to drink it.
