STRAYED We are called upon to announce the death of Mr. Henry Wakefield, who died July 28th, in North Carol- ina, aged 69 years. Mr. Wakefield was well known and is still remem- bered by many in the Township of Egremont and surrounding locality. He came to this country with his parents from the South of England when a boy seven years old. and they settled on a farm near Arkeil, on which he wrought until he reach- ed manhood. He married Miss Haines of Arkell. who survives him. He settled in Egremont in 1857, near Varney and threw his energies into his work in clearing and beautii' wing his home which shows to-day that the former owner of this farm was a man of culture and taste. ' His, abilities soon became known and for i eight years he occupied the position of Reeve invEgremont. was President of the Agricultural Society both in’ Egremont and South Grey for several years, and school trustee for nearly ' the period of fourteen years. Mr. Wakefield was an excellent citizen” kind and obliging, of a decided character, thoroughly reliable. and was never known to be guilty of an unworthy action. His views regard- ing local improvements were far in advance of the most of men, and when we suffered several deleats in endeavoring to procure railwav facilities. he became dissatisfied and ‘sold out in 1871 and moved to N. C., where he went into farming and fruit raising. His family consisted of ten children. all of whom are living in Greensboro N. C. and sur- rounding country. His eldest son left Ll The Greensboro’ Record, of JulyI 28th, gives the following notice of his death :-â€"Henry \Vakefield, Sr., father of Dr. Wakefield. of Charlotte, and of Mrs. G. \Vill Armfield, of this place. as well as George, Henry, Jr., land Rev. John Wakefild. died this afternoon at 1 o’clock at his home near Friendship. He had been sick three or four weeks with some heart trouble and was 69 years of age. He is favorably known in Greensboro’; . where he had many friends, but has | lived in the country many years, and {agood, progressive citizen, always .lvitally interested in the welfare of E the country, and he will be missed. 81 Funeral services will he held at Guil- iford College to-morrow afternoon at I 4 o’clock. W. H. Wakefield is a doctor, and another. John, a Presbyterian min- ister. Mr. Wakefield was a member of the church of England, and in politics a Conservative. His widow and family have the sympathy of his old friends in this community in their bereavement and although twenty-six years parted from us, and now dead, we can truly say, “Gone! but not forgotten.” â€"-For a good working pea harvest- er call on S.
