Mr Hastie was born on April 22nd 1828, died March 2nd 1902. He was born in Dum{jrieshire, Seotland, and emigrated to Canada with his father‘s family in the sammer of 1831 and settled in the Tow nshi;; of North Dumfries, Waterloo County, 7 miles west ot Galt. In the year 1850 he took for his partner in lite Miss Agnes Wells, who predecessâ€" ed him one year. 37 years ago he removed with his family to Egremont Township and settled on the Hastie homestead, lot 13, con 18, which has been his home ever since. His health had not been the best for the past tew years, but ten days betore his death he was taken worse and gradually sank away. In religion he was a staunch Presbyterian and on coming to Egremont he united with the congreâ€" gation of Amos Church, of which he was one of the oldest members. He always took a warm interest in church having filled the position of elder for several years. He also took a particâ€" ular interest in the musical part of the service and for many years led the Psalmody of the church. In politics he was a warm supporter of the liberal cause and in the contest of the 70‘s and 80‘s took an active part in organization work. Heleaves behind him a family of 7. 4 sons and 3 daughters viz. Jas at Fort Frances, Rainy River, Wm in South Proton, Rev John at Belgrave, Huron Co., and Walter on the homeâ€" stead, Mrs S Kinnell, Proton, Mrs R Renwick, Dromore and Mrs G Cuashnie, Mt Forest. His funeral, which took place from the resldence of his sonâ€"inâ€" law Mr R Renwick on Tuesday afterâ€" noon was largely attended. _ His pasâ€" tor Revy D L Campbell conducted the services at the house and graye‘ The family have the sympathvy of this whole community.
