Our Aberdeen correspondent gives [an account of the loss by fire last [Sunday evening about 6 o’clock, by Mr. Hugh Macdonald of Bentinck, of his barn and Outbuildings, together with practically all his harvest. The cause of the fire is unknown, and alâ€" though neighbors were on the scene early and succeeded in getting into the barn directly over the fire, were powerless to save but very little’ of I: the contents. A bright light in the sky on Tuesday evening led SOIne 0f us to' believe that some other farmâ€"3 er‘s season’s work was also going up: in smoke, but inquiry the next; morning revealed that it was a pile of straw that was being burned. AI- ter the lean crop of last year in this rvii‘cinity, it is exceedingly unfor- tunate to lose the bumper harvest of this year, and Mr. Macdonald will have the sympathy of this locality in his loss. gnundall; Priest Reported Dead. \Vord was received here, last. nigut thaLthe reverend gentleman had passed away yesterday afternoon at. 2 o‘clock, but up to time of going to If! r . -v-v“ in Knox] son, was .y and late Mr. ? la- I‘al’gegand was pl J _ Her three sons, two brothers, and “a nephew, acted as pan-bearers.

In time of trouble she was a friend indeed and many homes in. and around Durham will bless her name for years to come for her kind- 1y ministrations. Her life was ideal as wife, mother, friend and citizen. Her casket was covered and sur- rounded by wreaths and sprays of the beautiful flowersshe loved in life, placed there by loving friends. As her pastor, Rev. W. H.

She remained at the head of her family On the farm until one by one her boys and girls married and set up homes of their own. She had done her full duty by them and she had the satisfaction of seeing them grow up to become useful; industâ€" riou‘s and respected members of the communities in which they live. In November, 1875, she became the [wife of Mr. George Hopkins of Hut- lon Hill. The young couple under- went all the hardships of these pio- neer days on the farm now owned ‘by the son, Mr. Robert Hopknis. To them were born a large family, namely : May (Mrs. Peter MeIlvride) of Rapid City, Manitoba; \Vinnie (Mrs. William Christie) of Forest, Manitoba; Tiss (Mrs. Charles Mighty on}.

Lawson of town, and Robert A.-Lawson, on the old homestead north of Durham. The subject of this sketch, whose maiden name was Wilhelmina Lawâ€" son, was the second daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Lawson. Dr. Groves ol‘ Fer‘gus Hospital and Dr. Ewing of Fergus were called in consultation with Dr. . Jamieson. EThey were of one Opinion. The dis- ease was in the bone and spreading rapidly, which caused her such ex- ‘cruciating pain that she readily a- ;greed to the operation of amputaâ€" ’tion. On Sunday at 11 am. Doctors Groves, Ewing and Jamieson per-3 [formed this operation and found] their diagnosis of the case was cor- :r'ect. as the disease had made such {headway that the lower part of the ithigh-bone was in a crumbling con- ,dition. She recovered consciousness Eand was again even cheerful, but life hung in the balance. All that medical air and careful nursing could do was done but unfortunately of no avail. The end came in a peaceful sleep‘at 9 o’clock Monday morning, August 20, 1922. b For some weeks past a pain above her right‘knee caused her much un: easiness, but she thought it was of a rheumatic nature and went about her daily duties uncomplainingly. On Fridax of last xx eek Dr. J amleson 21 as called in and upon examination expressed his fear that it was a case of acute disease of the thigh-bone. MRS.
