To look back, it s'eems only a. short time since Mr. Munro was a young man and now he must, be close up to the allotted span of three score years and ten,-â€"-and ten more. Shortly after coming to Durham he married Bessie Lander, daughter of the late John Lauder of this town. For some time Mr. Munro has been in rather panr health and has been forced to abundon the sports in which he loved so much to indulge up to only a few years ago. Leaving Heathcote about the end of 1862, he went to Owen Sound, where he engaged as assistant in the Registrv office. When the County was divided into North and South Grey and a Registry omce opened in this town, he came here as assistant to Mr. Thos. Lauder, the p1 esent Registxar, and 1e111aiued 1n office almost continuously till his retirement some four or five 3 ears ago. Mr. John A. Munro, whose portrait we give, reminds uspf early boyhood.
