None . of their greater lights •and.
choicer characters, Happily one
member of our family was there
to represent us at; these last, rites
and bear . tribute to one counted
,as a beloved • friend:
If 'I had been there it is, same -
thing like,

The Township of Ashfield'' has,
been rich,' in 'choice citizenship,

ily

'anything to de with this Samuel.
who chewed, preference for life
nurtured .and :ft flowed. prayer=
