Interment took place on Friday af- ternoon last to Reid’s cemetery, near Holstein, the services being conducted by the Rev. \V. L. Newton, pastor of the Baptist Church. As the deceased has been an invalid during the greater portion of our time here. we have not come so much in touch with him as we otherwise might, but for eleven years we have been in and out amongst the people and we have always heard the name of James Brown associated with honesty and honor. Mr. Brown was well posted in muni- cipal law, few outside the legal frater- nity having a clearer grasp of the subject. and once he decided on the interpretation of a legal 'point he was generally right and no ordinary mind could move him in his opinion. For nearly forty years he was an Issuer of Marriage Licenses, and many who are now old and middle aged procured from him the document which enabled them to become man and wife. He was also clerk of the old district Court here when the regular sessions were held at Guelph and the then jurisdic- tion included large portions of South Grey and \Vellington. . For :1 11111111111 of years he held 1105i- tions in tho Township Council of Egre- nmnt, ”first {LS councillor and after- wards :15 move," says an old Dominion Direvtory. After coming to Durham he was appointed clerk of the township of Glonelg, and held the position with honor to himself and the township for a. peliml of owentv- five years. He also held positions in the town counoil and was a. member when he became 2-111 in- vitlid about, eight or nine years ago. On coming to Durham the deceased started in mercantile business, and up to the time his store Was burned over twenty years ago he conducted a care- ful and profitable business. He was honest. too, and since his death a man in our office paid him the high compli- ment of keeping a. stnre in which the “kids” would get just as fair and hon- est treatment as their parents. In 1851 he was married in Fergus to a Miss Brown, of Holstein, a Scotch lady, but no relation. The marriage resulted in an issue of three sons, Thomas, deceased, John in Phoenix, Arizon, and Joseph on the homestead. Mrs. Brown died over thirty years ago. Deceased was born in the County Fermanagh, Ireland, on the 28th of December, 1825. He came to Canada in 1841 with his parents and lived at Ancaster for two years. In 1843 they moved to \Vilmot, in 18-17 to the town- ship of Egremont and in 1854 to Dur- ham. 'l‘hese dates haye been taken from a s:. all memorandum book found in th gpmket of the deceased, and we presume they are absolutely correct. The death of James Brown, which occurred on Thursday morning, Oct. 24th, removes from Durh'am one of the oldest settlers and one of the best knoWn and most respected of the citi- ZPIIS.
