THURSDAY, JULY 9th, 1931 = THE HAILEYBURIAN Page 3 James H. Stitt an Old Resident Dies Suddenly Taken Ill Friday Night Goes to Hospital Saturday, Dies After Operation James Henry Stitt, one of Hail- eybury's old residents, passed a- way on Saturday at the Miseri- cordia Hospital, following an op- eration for strangulated hernia. He had been taken ill on Friday evening, suffering from severe pains, but throughout the night it was not thought that the com- plaint was going to prove serious On Saturday morning his phys- ician, Dr. W. C. Arnold, found that an operation was necessary and at about 11 o'clock took Mr. Stitt to the hospital. He died immediately after the operation, 'without regaining consciousness from the anesthetic. The late Mr. Stitt was born in Kemptville, Ont., in November of 1855. He spent the early years of his life there, later going to Renfrew where with Mrs. Stitt he lived for about 15 years. In 1906 Mr. and Mrs. Stitt came to Haileybury, where they have lived ever since. For many years up to the time of the fire in 1922, they conducted the Stitt House, a temperance hotel. During his long residence in Haileybury Mr. Stitt had become well known to the whole com- munity and his genial disposition and unfailing good nature made him a favorite among the people. His particular hobby was garden- ing and this year in particular he bent his efforts towards making a record for early potatoes. From his garden on the Lake Shore Road he was able to procure enough for a dinner on July Ist, an acheivement which gave him great satisfaction. In the winter his sport was curling and for many years past he was a famil- iar figure at the local rink, where he was a general favorite. He was a member of the Anglican Church, a Conservative in politics and took an active interest in all public affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Stitt were mar- tied in Pembroke in 1884, and Mrs. Stitt and one son, James Brownlee Stitt, survive. Other surviving relatives are three grandchildren, a brother, G. A. Stitt, of Toronto, and two sisters, Mrs. Eckley, Toronto, and Mrs. Colborne, of Ottawa. Mr. Stitt's son is at present in South Amer- ica, with his headquarters at Buenos Aires. . The funeral of the late Mr. Stitt was held on Monday after- noon when, after a private ser- vice at the home, the cortege pro- ceeded to St. Paul's Church for the service. The service was con- ducted by Rev. Canon Hincks and His Lordship, Bishop Smith, who was in Haileybury over the week end, read the lesson. The church was filled to the doors with old friends of the family and there was a great profusion of floral tributes sent, among them beaut- iful wreaths from the Liberal- Conservative Association and the Haileybury Curling Club and a cross. from the W. A. and the Ladies Guild of St. Paul's Church. The following were the pallbear- ers: Messrs A. D. McArthur, - Thos. Shannon, L. Cohen, J. H. McFarlane, Jas. Elkins Thos. Lemon. Interment was in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. The whole community joins in extending sympathy to Mrs. Stitt and other members of the family. Out-of-own relatives who were present for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. D, Brownlee, of Ottawa Mrs. R. F. Charlton, of Toronto, and Mrs. A. Grant Fleming, Mon- treal, nieces of the late Mr. Stitt, and Mrs. J. H. Bell and Mr. Har- old Bell, of Mattawa. Mr. Stitt's brother and sister were prevented by illness from attending. Minister's Car Robbed on His First Night in Haileybury It would apear that Rev. W. A. Beecroft, the new minister of the United Church here, got a rather bad impression of Haileybury on his first night in the town. He had left his car standing down- town and someone took the mo- tor meter off the radiator cap. Nothing else on or in the car was disturbed, but the loss is to be re- gretted. It is seldom that cars left standing on the streets here are interfered with and it seems unfortunate that the new minister was the victim in this instance. No clue to the guilty person has been discovered. RELATIVES AND FRIENDS AT FUNERAL IN OTTAWA OF LATE MRS. GAGNON Many relatives and friends of| the family met in Ottawa on Thursday last at the funeral of the late Mrs. A. N. Gagnon, which was held from the home of her son, Mr. Edouard Monette. The service was in the Basilica there and interment was made in Notre Dame Cemetery.

Larocque, one of the ama- teur gardeners who take pride in their plots, has brought to this office a good sample of new po- tato, dug in his garden on July 8th. The potato is about two and one-half inches in diameter, apparently of the cobbler variety and is solid and well grown. This is exceptionally early for this part of the district. Professional Engineers Are Addressed by Visitor H. E. Hellmuth, a well known civil engineer of Toronto, was in Haileybury this week and on Monday evening he addressed a gathering of the professional en- gineers of the town and district. The meeting was held in Hotel Haileybury and there were many well known mining engineers a- mong those present. Pumping Station Scene o of Damage by Lightning The local pumping station was the scene of the only damage re- ported by the electric storms last week here, when on Thursday evening, the lightning struck the oil circuit breaker on the power line and put the pumps out of commission for a time. It was necessary to send the apparatus to Toronto for repairs and in the meantime a connection was made in the power line that enables the electric pumps to be used. The gosoline emergency pump was in use for the greater part of Friday while the change in the connec- tion was being made, and there was no shortage of water as a re- sult of the damage. A competition for the Junior members of the Haileybury Golf Club is being arranged, and will be announced early next week. New Liskeard firemen won the two big events at the annual tournament held in Schumacher on July Ist. The town brigade won the ladder race and the Hill- Clark-Francis brigade won the hose waggon race. The Hailey- bury brigade ran fourth in the ladder race and did not compete in the other. Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T.&N.O. Commission, has denied that any change in the location of the terminal of the road on James Bay is contemplated. A report said that the extension was to be continued 70 miles fur- ther north from Moose Harbor. Aged Resident ~-- George Terrill Dies This Week, Suffered Stroke in Hot Spell and Died Without Regaining Consciousness i The death of Captain-George Terrill, which> took place on Monday morning, removed an old and familiar figure from this community. and, although for the) past year or two he has not been out frequently, he had been for many years well known to all. His death took place at the| home of his son, Mr. A. E. Ter- rill, on Rorke Avenue, followin; a stroke which he suffered on) Tuesday of last week.

He followed the min- part of his life, was captain of various mines in Michigan, but! of recent years age prevented his: taking any active part in the in- dustry. He was a member of the} Methodist Church until the Un- ion was consumated and then of the United Church, and a Con- servative in politics. Altltough he spent many years in the Un-} ited States, he never became nat- uralized there, but continued a British subject. 7 Mr. Terrill is survived by two sons, Albert E. of Haileybury, and Samuel, who lives in Michi- gan. His wife died in 1917, one tso ndied in 1912 and a daughter, Mrs. Hooper, died in 1919. Last month an old friend of Mr. Terril's, Mr. E.
