Dr. Donald J. Grant was a Glenâ€" gary Scot. He married the daughter of Peter Cobourn also a Glengary Scot. Peter Cobourn is well remembered by survivors of two generations past as the great lumberman who purchased the pine in the Graham block adjacâ€" ent to Kleinburg. A sawmill was constructed on the little Humber at the south side of the block where the pine and hemlock logs were sawed. The pine grew to tremendous height in the Graham block and many huge trees were converted into masts for ships. The sawmill sites is still known as Cobourn‘s hollow. The death of Dr. Cobourn Grant at Gravenhurst on Thursday, August 15, reealls to the memory of Woodbridge residents of several decades gone by certain incidents in the past life of the community. Dr. Cobourn Grant was the son of Dr. Donald J. Grant, who practised here and served the community long and well until 1884 when he moved to Gravenhurst and continued the practise of his profesâ€" sion until his death many years ago, when his son Cobourn took up the unâ€" finished work of his father and carâ€" ried on until the end. The late Dr. Cobourn Grant was born in Woodâ€" bridge, was in his 60th year, and spent his boyhood here. His survivors are his widow, his sister, Donalda, and brother John all at Gravenhurst. DR.

Alfred â€" Longbottom _ Well _ Known Builder Dies The death of Alfred, Longbottom occurred recently at the summer home of his neice Mrs. Frank Simpâ€" son, Wasago Beach. Mr. Longbottormm was a native of England, and was in his 83rd year. He came to Canada with his parents when but a mere child, and followed the occupation of bricklayer, The Longbottom family were well known throughout this disâ€" trict, having with their father built many of the brick dwellings and other buildings still standing. The only surviving member of the family is Thomas Longbottom _ of _ Claireville who at his advanced age occasionally does _some bricklaying. His son Harry is the third generation activeâ€" ly engaged at the trade. Some Did. "Goodness," said the young miss as she inspected Granny‘s wedding ring. "What heavy, unwisely things those were 50 years ago." _ Mrs. James Watson Redpath, Sask., Passes The death of Mrs. James Watson, Redpath, Sask., occurred on Friday of last week. Mrs. Watson had been ill for many months. She was Isaâ€" bella Nattress, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Nattress.

McLean Passes Joseph Haggert Mclean, Pine Grove died suddenly last Tuesday, Aug. 13. Mr. Mchean was a son of the late Roderick McLean who came to Canada from Argyleshire, Scotâ€" land, nearly a century ago and setâ€" tled in Vaughan where deceased was born,and lived all his life. He was in his 69th year, and was employed in Hick‘s Flour Mill for the past 43 years. Deceased is survived by a widow, a daughter, Mrs. Mary Ryan, a sister, Mrs. Chas. McLean, and two brothers, Donald at Kleinburg and John at Woodbridge. Interment was made in Hilerest cemetery and the funeral was attended by many friends and neighbours. The screen door of the Superior Store had gone through the same proâ€" cess of treatment, but the sight of a firm}iy barred inside door undoubtedly had discouraged the burglars. W. A. Gus Farquhar, village constable, inâ€" vestigated and communicated â€" with Sergeant Tom Kirk of Newmarket, who later got active and found the two mail bags a half mile north of the town in an oat field. The one conâ€" tainin%]letters and parcels was empty, the other was untouched. Inspector Riddell of Toronto, accompanied by Chief Woollard of Woodbridge, ass\ist- ed in the investigation. 3 Dale discovered that the door of his hardware store had been perforated with holes made by a brace and bit. The Village of Schomberg was the scene of wholesale housebreaking early Friday morning of last week. Two mail bags were stolen from the post office and five stores and dwellâ€" ings broken into with but little cash stolen. ‘It is evident that it was an attempt of amateurs as only one was partly successful. One mail bag was filled with empty sacks and the value of the contents of the other is unâ€" known as it was not registered. Halfâ€" hearted attempts were made on four stores and one private dwelling was entered. $6.00 in cash and a fountain pen was stolen from Ernest Stickley‘s drug store. The home of Dr. A. F. Kay was broken into and a pair of rubbers were the only loot taken. The housebreakers were quite nervy, for one of the attempted burglaries |was made next door to the village conâ€" stable. Dr. Kay in a statement finds it difficult to explain their entry into his house. "When I got up this morâ€" ning and discovered that my window had been broken open I was quite alarmed, but after looking around I could find nothing missing but a pair of rubbers." _ Although none of his medical supplies had been disturbed the doctor was of the opinion that the robbers might have been after drugs. The same object might have prompted the entry to the drug store. __ 34 A hole was cut in a screen door of Thomas Gallagher‘s butcher shop. The latch was lifted, the shop entered but nothing was molested. ___ _ / POLICE PROBE THEFTS AT _ _ SCHOMBERGâ€"RAIDS ON HOME, POST OFFICE AND STORES Paulâ€"Oh!
