Withise Still possessed bf a bfight mind and a thorough interest in all that went on about him, William Willard came to the end of a Tong, uséful, and kindly life, on Sunday, May 14th, 1930. Less than two years more would have made him a centenarian, It is only a short timé since Mr. and Mrs. Willard celebrated thejr seventy- first wedding anniversary, and re- ceived a gracious message of cons gratulation from King George VI, and Queen 'Elizabeth--January 27th last. Upon that occasion, too, they re- ceived many kindly personal greetings and messages from friends - and neighbours. Since then, as the weeks and months passed, age has taken its toll, and Mr. Willard began to be troubled with dizzy spells. In one of these, which occurred last Saturday, he fell, and in thé fall his hip was broken. - The doctor was called and the patient was made as comfortable as "possible. Nothing could more clearly show optimism of this heroic soul than the remark made by him as the doctor was leaving--*I suppose it will be six weeks before I shall be able to be about" again." (He had been in the garden just a day or so before.) In fact' he had planted most of the garden himself; and it is now coming up. He loved the aarden, and he loved floes Nearly Reached the Century William Willard Passes in His 99th Year On Sunday he passed peacefully 4 {away, pneumonia .having set in, Latterly his chief interests were: study-of- eurrent-even spiritual matters, many of the ordinary activities of life where he 'would meet his fellow men, of the time through radio. joyed the sermons and the. singing; and to him the Bible was a daily com- fort. Mr, Willard was born in Kent, Eng- land, and came to Canada in early boyhood. His youth' was spent in Taunton, Orono and 'Raglan. At Taunton he was postmaster for some time. He married Elizabeth Heatlie in_ 1868, and moved to Port Perry where he carried on business for many years in the block now occupied b; Archer Motors. He retired from busi- ness some twenty years ago; and the business was moved across th street and-is carried on:by his son Harry. The funeral service was held at his late -residence. on Tuesday of this week, conducted by Rev. W. J. H. Smyth. His body lies 4p that beauti- ful cemetery at Prince "Albert, a fit- ting resting-place for one whose life was simple, kindly, and nature loving. Mr. Willard .is survived by his widow; one son, Hairy; his daughter Ethel (Mrs. R. J. Har per). His son Dr. Elmer Willard died 1 in 1933. Also surviving are four grandchildren-- lard. : ~N VISIT OF THEI THE KING AND QUEEN MAJESTIES-- To TORONTO, MONDAY, MAY 22nd. (Read Down)._,. SPECIAL TRAIN (Read Up) 12.30 pm. ......
