Throughout his ill- ness he bore his intense sufferings with Christian courage and forti-_ tude and gave a clear evidence. to all of his readiness to meet God. All who knew him respected him for his principles of truth ani honesty. The funeral service took place on Monday afternoon, the service at the home being conducted by Rev Mr. Moyer and Rev.

Mr. John Ellison, a pioneer of Glenelg, died last week at his home near \Vaudby. He was born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. on the 26th of September. 1832. In 1842, he came to Canada with his parents and settled at Brantl‘ord, where he remained till he grew up to manhood. In 1855, he came to Glenelg, and cleared 10: 19. ccn’icession 3, E. G. R., and re- mained there to the time of his death. He was married in 1860 to Mary McEachern, who died in 1908. From a number of personal inter- views with the deceased some years ago, we learned to respect him very highly. He was genial in his man-- ner, a bright and interesting con- versationist, and for a man of his advanced years he was well pre- served, both mentally and physi- cally. Since his death, we have- heard him highly spoken of by neighbors who have known him for years. He was a good Christian character, and a most devoted mem- ber of the Baptist church. He leaves a family of four sons, Sandy and William, in Saskatche- wan, John and James, in Glenelg, and three daughters, Mrs. Charles Vaughan, 0f Loreburn, Sask., Mrs. George Terry and Mrs. Baker, in Glenelg. Two sons and one daugh-- ter died a number of years ago. He died on Wednesday of last week, and the remains were laid to rest on Friday afternoon at Markâ€" dale. Though- in fair health, she has not been rugged for a. number of years. and for some time she grew weaker gradually, and death was no: wholly unexpected. Besides her only daughter, en- gaged on the Durham public school staff, she leaves four sisters, Mrs. Stephen, who lived with her for some years, Mrs. B. B. Moore and Mrs. W. H. W hittakér,‘ of Victoria, B.C., and Mrs. J. L. Brown, of Van- kleek Hill. In 1872, she was married to the late Robert Walker. 3 teacher, who died sixteen years ago. A few years after the death of her husband, she moved to Durham. where she reâ€" sided fer the past. ten years. The deceased lady was highly e3- teemed in the community, and par- ticularly in the Baptist church, 31' which she was a devoted member. The remains were interred on Saturday atfernoon at the Sixteenth cemetery, on the Durham road, near Hanover. her pastor, Rev. Mr. Wy- lie, conducting the services at the home and at the grave-side. We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. R. B. Walker, who passed away on Thursday, the 16th inst. The deceased. whose maiden name- was Marion Whiteford, was the second daughter of the late . Wm. Whiteferd. She was born on the 14th of December, 18:31. at Allan Park. and spent the greater part of her life in that Vicinity.
