One time the death of a member Of our family caused the sad feeling that always accom- panics such misfortunes, and the officiating clergyman, who never uttered a syllable as “he shook our hand, conveyed a much deeper measure of sympathy than all the voluble sympathizers who tried to put their feelings into words. The fewest words often convey ”the deepest meaning.

It was a happy day for the Liberal chief and his “chief adviser.” The fel- icitations of the Liberals in parlia- ment were tendered the disting- uished couple in the'~form of forty- six of the most beautiful roses that could be procured -at the Capital.

THURSDAY MAY I4, 1914 The year after his marriage he moved to! lot. 4, concession 22., Egremont, where he remained to the time of his death. The marriage union resulted in a family of eleven children, of Whom one son and seven daughâ€" ters survive, Mrs. James Matthews, Mrs. Thomas Davis and Mrs. S. T. Chapman, in Durham, Mrs. Wilkin- son, and Mrs. Wm. J. Wilson in Egrem‘ont, Mrs. Moody in Proton, Mrs. IWilkinson in Edmonton, and William John, on the old home- stead. The death of Mr. Wrn.’ McFad- den yesterday forenoon removes another of the pioneers of the township of Egremont. He Was born about 73 years ago in the township of Essa, and in 1850, when about nine years of age, he came to Glenelg with his parents and settled on lot 1, concession 1 SWDR, Where he remained till about 1865, when he married Martha Lawrence, who died a year ago last September. The deceased was a quiet, in- dustrious man, an excellent neigh- bor and a kind father and hus- band. He Was a devoted member of the Anglican church, and has long been identified with the Orange Order. He was a mem- ber of the township council for a number of years and ‘ rendered good lhonest service. He was a good living man, temperate in his habits, a hard worker, and accu- mulated considerable property On the 26th of April, 1864, Mr.; and (Mrs. Thomas Moran of Glen- elg, about three miles east of Dor- noch, was happily wedded in the city bf Guelph. MI. Moran is now nearly |83 years of age, and his, aged partner, Whose maiden name; was Catharine Hewitt, is about six. years younger. Both are hale and hearty iamd look as though there are \yet many years of happy life ahead of them. I f i E Few .people who enter the matri- monial game are spared to see their golden wedding day, and an event so fare is worth more than a mere passing notice. Mr. [Moran was born in the County Carlow, Ireland, and Mrs. Moran a short distance from Guelph. The {year following their marriage the happy couple settled in {Glenelg on lot 4, concession 15, and have been residents of that locality ever since. The country was then a wilderness but, bless- ed with health and strength, Mr. and Mrs. Mora'n undertook with a will (the hardships of pioneer life and 'hewed out for themselves a comfortable home. To them were born nine children five sons and four daughters. The sons are all comfdrtably settle-d on farms near the old home, except the «youngest, who lives with his aged parents, and will ultimately fall into possession of the homeâ€" stead. The aged couple are Well pre- served, both physically and men- tally, and we hope the evening of their lives may last for many years. We [have great respect for all the aged home builders who endured (in the early years the hardships IOf pioneer life and reduced the burdens of the present generation.
