The removal by death on Monday, October 13, of the writer’s father has made a vacancy in the statf that so far they can scarcely realize. To the writer, the past two weeks have been as a hazy dream, a nightmare, and we find it scarcely possible” to compre- hend that the guiding head of the j _ A‘-:I [ICIIU Ivllull Univ 0 ..... newspaper is no more. Words fail us just now to adequately pen a fit« ting tribute to his memory. Possi- bly, under the circumstances, it is as well we should not try. The tributes of the citizens of Durham, and of others who knew him throughout the length and breadth of Ontario leaves no doubt as t the regard in which he was held and are a source of consolation to those whom he left behind, who feel ex- tremely grateful for the many kind acts and words of sympathyjn the dark hour of the homecoming am Tuesday of last week. ‘ Words fail us, and we feel it is beyond us to say more than that he was a good father, kind and conâ€" siderate for the feeling of others, an honest business man; one who regarded his spoken word as sacred and binding as his oath. In our sixteen years’ association with him in The Chronicle, we never knew him to do or say anything that would not bear the closest investi- gation. ‘ ‘ _-_1_ -.. rm.“ a""""' In taking up his work on The Chronicle, we feel we have a hercu- lean task before us and crave the» indulgence of our readers for a time at least. While our esteemed father will be missed in a great many circles in the community it will be in The Chronicle where his absence will be felt most. Here his advice and counsel were always sought in matters of importance, and to his judgment and good management be- longs any success which this paper may have attained. ‘ " ‘ 4â€"- __._- 1-..] lluv v "vvw- - ....., - -_- To Mr. John A. Graham we feel we are especially indebted this week as it is from his facile pen the obit- uary on our front page appears. Mr. Graham, as an acquaintance of nearly forty years, and, as a close friend for nearly thirty, knew him better than most men, and no one was better fitted to pen the history of his life. “o'hiéfiéur of the surviving mem- bers of the family we take this opportunity of expressing grati- tude for the many kindnesses ex- tended by the people of Durham in our bereavement.

How well he discharged that duty is well-known to the community. He had many losses and trials in life, but was always borne up by a buoyant spirit and an inward trust. He resigned his position as Principal of Flesh- erton Public School at the end of the year 1896 and purchased the Durham Chronicle. With his son Frank, and daughters Maud and Rita, he moved to Durham. The same energy and enthusiasm that had always characterized Mr. Irwin in all his pre- vious occupations.were now continued into the realm of journalism where he has won an endur- ing name for his fairness in handling the public matters of his day.

He had been enabled to take these several trips of late because his son, Frank, was always in the off ice at home and everything would go along all right in the absence of the editor.
