DROWNED IN BRITISH COLULBIA DEARSIRâ€"A few weeks ago you published an article in your p899" relati. g to the death of Dan Camp- bell, and it answered to the descrip- tion of a brother of mine in British Columbia so well that I immediately wrote for information. and a few days ago seceived direct word that it was my brother that had been acci- dentally drowned last. summer. My brother, Daniel left home when i very young, went up the Lakes to. Port Arthur, remained there forI some time as a revenue oflicer. He then went to Calgary, and from there! to work in the Government camps in British Columbia. For years he re- mained there. going from one camp ‘ :0 another. until last summer. on the: ' river. he stepped overboard and got I: owned.

THE GOING AND COMING UP VI8IT038 IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. Dr. Finch, Buffalo, accompanied by his bride, a medical Specialist, who was married at St. Catharines last Saturday, spent Sunday and Monday in town as guest of the bride’s uncle, Mr. Ed. Kress. They returned on Tuesday morning to Bufialo where they will settle. families. We regret to learn that Mrs. J. '1‘. Collyer, of Guelph, daughter of the late Mr. Eva, was so seriously ill that she way unable to attend the funeral. Fears of her recovery were entertained by friends. Over exer- tion during her father’s illness is SUPPOSl‘d to have caused part of Mrs. Collye‘r's trouble. People We Know Mr. Albert Eva. of Detroit. attend- ed his father’s funeral on Sunday. He left Monday morning for home. Mr. and Mrs. Hallett and daughter Carrie. of St. Catharines. are spend- ing a week or so with the Kresu Mr. Bert E. Collyer and his young- (1‘ brother, of Guelph, attended the funeral of their grandfather, Mr. Mr. Wm. Davitt. of Stayner, spent a few days’ visit at Mr. Robt. Allan’ s, Glenelg. Philip Eva. The old residents of the town are {asn passing from the scene of action. This week it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of a highly reSpected citizen, who was well and favorably known in Durham and vicinity for nearly, if not alto- gether, half a century. We refer to Mr. Philip Eva, who departed this life on Thursday of last week at the ripe old age of 81 years, 4 months and 11 days. The eulogies of most people are crowded into an obituary after death, and in many cases the passing references are only partially chH‘Ved. Not. so with the deceased gentleman to whom we now refer. The public generally had confidence in his honesty and integrity during the whole period of acquaintancz'ship, and to eulOgize the dead would only be at repltition of public feeling dur- ing his long life. We rrl'rain from saying more than that he was a good, honest. honorable and upright sayzng more than that. m was u gnou, homzsr. honorable izllx‘. upright gentleman -espvctud by all and disliked by lloue, w) far as the writer is aware. He I“h\'\:8 an aged widow. now verging; ' n the four-score mark, two sons. Albert, in Detroit, and Philip, who resides at Allan Park. His surviving daughters are Mrs. John Lawrence, of Egremont. and Mrs.T.J. Collyex', of Guelph. In- terment took place on Sunday to Trinity church cemetery. whexehe was buried with Masonic honors. Another resident of the town since 1836, in the pmson of Mrs. T1108 S1nirh,pass¢l auay the 19th inst. The deceased lady. whose maiden name was Isabella Aimstrong. was born sew-enty-nine years ago in the county of Leeds, Ontario. After her marriage to Mr. Smith. who still survives. the young couple took upl their residence here, and since re- mained as citizens. Of the deceased we learn that she was always an active, energetic. industrious wife, and a kind. loving. Christian mother. Until about a year ago, when stricken with paralysis and heart trouble, she was alwa3s in the enjoyment of good health, and in her younger days a devoted and active church worker. On the 10th of th1s month she was stricken again with paraly- sis. from which death ensued on the 19th. as above stated. Besides the aged father, three sons and one daughter remain to mourn the loss ofaloving wife and mother. The sons are John. who is in business. J. J., the present postmaster of Durham. and Dr. Robert A., of Ghent. Ohio. Miss Helen M. is at the old home. Interment took place Saturday toDurham cemetery, the Rev. Mr. Newton. Baptist minister of Durham. and Rev. Mr. Leding- ham. of India. conducting the services in the absence of her pastor, Rev. Mr. Farguharson. We regret very much to learn of the death. on Saturday last. from scarlet fever. of Clarence James Ferguson, son of Rev. and Mrs. Ferguson. of Mt. Forest, formerly of the Methodist church here. The child was (our years. four months and eighteen days old, and at that interesting age is a great blow to the distracted parents. He was in his usual health until Wednesday even- in; previous. Interment took place at London. DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, I903. CLARENCE JAMES FERGUSON. Mus. Tum, SMITH. OBITUARY. PHILIP EVA. Last week a small item referred to the critical illness of Mrs. Thos. Scarf. This week we regret to add her name to the recent death roll.
