M188 Kate Whitmere hu gone to The death call came very suddenly ": to one of our earliest and most wide- gly known pioneers on Saturday morning at 3.00 o’clock. Mr. Ab- raham Cook answered the call. He had been in poor health fora few days, but was able to go about, hav- ing been to Markdale on Monday of ' the same week. Hisdaughter-in-law heard him up, and thinking he might be needing some attention ran down ' stairs. Upon asking if he wanted anything. he replied “I’m dying!” threw himself on the bed and in a minute peacefully passed over. The y deceased was born in the County of Leitrim, Ireland, in September 1819 â€"â€"in the same year as good Queen Victoria. He came out to this coun- try in 1845 to the Ottawa district, where two years later on April 5th, . was wedded to Mary J. Copland, ' daughter of his employer, who sur- 3 vives him, though in feeblehealth. D Thus. last spring, they passed the 1 55th anniversary of their wedding - day. They moved to lot 7, on the 6th. 47 years ago, when few were the . settlers in the township and his farm 3 was woods to the blazed road. Hav- , ing means to begin with. and being ,‘shrewd in business, he has always . been in most comfortable circum- stances and a truer helper than his wife man couldn’t have. The old home has always been noted for its hospitality and the deceased wasa tender hearted. obliging neighbor. ’He was of strong will and firm in what he considered right. He never once failed the Conservative cause. was an active member of the Orange Order, having at one time been Dis- trict Master. For many years he has been one of Zion’s trustees and at ' the building of the new church was appointed inspector of the work. He ever took an active part in school and municipal matters. To him and his partner were born seven children: Maggie, wife of Wm. Glencross, who died some years ago; Thomas. one of the most successful farmers in the township; Robert. the shrewd ship- per of live stock from Ceylon ; Jake, at present in Manitoba ; Martha who t passed away some eleven years; Will. on the old homestead; and Mrs. Ed. Embury, wife of one of the most likeable of G. '1‘. R. engineers, whose home is in Toronto. They brought with them a beautiful wreath of flowers. inscribed with the word “Father” to deck the handsome casket. . The funeral took place on Monday afternoon and was one of ythe largest we’ve ever attended, a Enumber coming from all over the township. ’Bev. Wray R. Smith con- ducted a most impressive service Among those from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cook, of Maple Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Embury of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs John Cook of Berkeley, Messrs.

Nov. 19th there died at the resi- dence of Mrs. Ginn, Mr. Thomas Gian, a ninety-year-old gentleman who has made his home here for a year and a half. The deceased was a native of Tyrone. Ireland. He imi- grated to Canada when a young man and settled some distance north of Toronto. After farming many years he retired and lived at various times in Brampton, Bolton and Priceville. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Gow- land, who lives near Bolton. and who was here and made all arrangements for the funeral. As the old gentle- man was but little known, the funer- al was but poorly attended. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Ginn, who has had all the care of the deceased, and so far as we know. has got noth- ing for it.

The young men’s service held in the Methodist church on Sunday evening was unique in character and of especial interest as a religious service. A chorus of thirty-five young men rendered very efiectively some of the old and familiar Gospel songs. “Throw out the Life Line,” alternating bass, tenor and soprano efiects in the chorus, was new and pleasing. The rendering of “Yield .not to Temptation," the verses sung by the congregation and the chorus by the male choir in full voice and ‘repeated P. P., was a surprise and a4 delight. The octette, “ 0 how lovely 1s Zion,” was well balanced in the four parts. The quartette, “ Why stand ye idle all day,” by H. Benton soprano, McRae tenor, Yiirs alto and Sanderson base, was sweetly impres- sive. The young men of the Church League took the whole of the service with the exception of a short Gospel address on “ The parting of the ways” by the pastor. The congregation was delighted, and many‘have ex- pressed themselves as desiring a repitition of this kind of a service some time in the future. Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.
