Not quite a year ago, he left the home farm in South Bentinck, in the hope that a rest and less of farm care would benefit his health. _ But such was not to be and the last two weeks he has been confined to his bed from heart weakness and the last call came peacefully as above. The late Mr _ Boyce was well known throughout the _ Township, where he has been employed by varâ€" ious farmers, who always found him to be a steady and conscientious workman. _ He was a member of Burns‘ Church, Rocky Saugeen and his pastor, Rev.
