He was a pioneer of the Antler district, but the best part of his life was spent in Benâ€" tinck, from which township he moved to Dakota 1t years ago.

Only those who have come through a similar furnace of affiiction can appreciate the poignancy. gf the grief that fills the home thus notiâ€" ‘ ed _ He was 24 years otf age, born in Priceâ€" ville where he will be long remembered for his manly open bearing, a most lovable boy, publicâ€"spirited to a degree, a favorite with his tellows and filled with generous impulses. We can imagine he was both enthusiastic and efficient as a gunner, and perhaps this very efficiency brought upon him concentrated fire from the enemy and laid him low. Ahe story can briefly be told : He enlisted in July 1915 and took out his papers for a Captaincy, but relinguished this and in November of same year joined the Signal Section of the Engineers as Sapper. He left Canada, Jan 1, 1916, as Corporal and betore long in England was given his three stripes. He went to France in May 1916, and has been there continâ€" uously since. A longing to be with his brother Neil in the Artillery led him to transfer to that branch of the Service in Feb 1917 and as a gunner in the 10th Battery has served ever since. | The vicissitudes of war have brought sorrow deep and profound to the home of Postmaster McKinnon of Priceville Their stalwart son Donald has made the great sacrifice in France, one more victim to the lust of the War spirit of the Kaiser and his lords, one more to "reach life‘s climax,"" one more to wear the halo of the hero in memory, one more who will never] grow old.
