Mr. Kerr was a son of the late Mr: and Mrs. James Kerr, and was born in Normanby Township, near Harm)- den, in 1862, where he farmed up to seven years ago, when he moved to Varney, and, with his sons, en- tered the milling business under the firm name of the Kerr Milling Company. Thirty-seven years ago, he was married to Miss Mary Derby, who, With a family of four sons and two daughters, survive to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent hus- band and father. The family are: Norman J. and Walter, engaged in the ‘rni‘lling husiness_at Varney; John C., Detroii, Mich.; Kenneth, "an ap- prentice to the drug business at Mc- ngdeg's Phaljmagy, Durham; Jean;- ette, Nurse in Victoria Hospital, London, and Katie L., teacher at Elora. .Two brothers also survive. Wil- liam, at Grand Rapids, Mich; and John. the well-known agriculturist at Varney. Up to two years ago, Mr. Kerr was strong and active, but gradually at first, began to fail in health from an attack of kidney trouble from which he suffered considerably. For a timenhe seemedtobe holding his own. but. during the last few months, failed very rapidly. and death was a happly release from a period of con- tinued suffering. He was a Liberal in politics. and a devoted member nf_t_he I)_urham Presbyterian Church. Mr. Kerr was a man of sterling honor and integrity, and the com- munity loses much by his death. The large. funeral yesterdm afternoon from the home to MapleWOOd ceme- tery bears witness to the regard in which he was held. and the heart,- fell. sympathy felt for the grief- strieken family and relatives.

C., Herald of Jan- nary 23rd reports the death on Fri- day, January 16th, at his home at that place of Archibald Jackson, at one time a resident of The Glen, in Glenelg Township, but for the past 35 years residing in British Columbia. Mr. Jackson had been in indifferent. health for some time from what was thought to be heart, trouble, but which was later found to be brain tumor. He was born in County Gavan. Ireland, in 1864, and came to Canada when a small boy. living for a time on the old Jackson farm in the Glen, now the prOperty of Mr. Thomas McKeown. Thirty-five years ago he went West, and has resided in British Columbia most of that time, wh ‘e he followed mercantile life. or over 20 years. he had been a resident of Merritt. He was one of the pion- eer merchants of the town. and had served as alderman and mayor on the council. The Herald says: “It was as a merchant that the deceased came into closest relation- ship with the old settlers of the: district and city. 01' sterling pro- hity in all his dealings. he won the respect and esteem of all. and by his generous dealings, their friendship and goodwill. Many of them found in Archie Jackson a friend in their hour of need. Practically every one of the pioneers who could reach the city, turned out last Sunday after- noon to pay a last tribute of respect lto their old friend.” Mr. Jackson was a Conservative in politics, and leaves a widow, son and daughter. The burial took place on Sunday, January 18th, to Merritt cemetery, and was very largely attended. In the same issue. The Herald reported the death on Wednesday morning. January 21st. of Mr. JOhn R. Jackson, a brother who had come up from his home at Midway. B.C.. to attend his brother‘s funeral. and had remained over to help straighten up his hrOther’s estate. While in Merritt, he stopped with his sister- in-law. and on Tuesday appeared in his usual health. In the evening, he complained of his stomach being out of order. and lay down on his bed. fully dressed. Mrs. Jackson went upstairs on two occasions. but was told each time that he was feeling better. About 9 o’clock. she went to his room again. and was horrified ‘to find him dead. A doctor was summoned. and pronounced death due to heart failure. Mr. Jackson was born in Ireland 66 years ago. came to Canada in £870, and had lived in British Columbia since 1885. He was twice elected to the Provincial Legislature. and was a popular and highly regarded citl- zen. He leaves a widow and three daughters and two sons.

The first session. however. is never very strenuous, and this yesr was no exception. Beyond the election of a warden. very little other business was taken up, and the meeting adjourned un- til Wednesday afternoon, when. al- though only the committees were appointed and no actual business could be transacted. the session was a profitable one. and everything was run oi! without a hitch. Mr. T. R. McKenzie, the newly elected War- den of the County opened the ses- sion with quite a lengthy address in which he conveyed his sincere thanks to the Council for honoring him with the wardenship and trust- ed that there would he no occur- rences during the year that would make them regret their choice. He wished to solicit the aid of every councillor and was sure that there would be nothing but harmonv pre- vailing at every session. “Harden McKenzie went into details of the work of every committee in his ad- dress and aifi'ised in a general way. He impresse particularly that the finance committee keep within the amounts appropriated for the sever- al departments and suggested that the County Treasurer he asked to attend and present to the Council a report of the County's financial standing.

Also requests were received for maintenance from a number of High Sehools in the County and some outside the Coun- ty. None of these were dealt with.
