Lindenfield, of Hensall. Heaman’s Hardware has been one of the leading places of business on the Main St. for many years? In 1901 a fine two storey building with red brick front was erected especially for this business and since that time .it has always en­ joyed a liberal patronage. Mr. Hea­ man came to Exeter from London and; sihee his residence. here 'he has always taken a keen . interest in eVj^thTffg^qrthining to'’ fife 'welfare of the town. For ten years Mr. Heaman was a member 'of the municipal Council, eight years as a councillor and for two years he graced the reeve’s chair. It was during his term as Reeve that the town secured the grant for the Carnegie Library which is such a credit to our town. It was also during his term that the Jackson Factory located in Exe­ ter and that the Canning factory was started. Victoria street leading to the station was also opened up. jMix Heaman has also taken an ac­ tive interest in military matters hav­ ing risen from Lieut, in F. Co. of the old 33rd Huron regiment, to Lieut- Colonel commanding the present Hu-, ron Battalion. He was a captain in F. company when the war broke out and when the 161st Battalion was raised in 1915 Capt. Heaman enlist­ ed and qualified in London for the- rank of Major. He went overseas with the battalion and during the latter part of August, 1918, he was invalided home. On April 1st, 1926 he was appointed Lieut.-Colonel suc­ ceeding Lieut.-Col. H. C. Dunlop. ‘ Col. Heaman has also.-been an en­ thusiastic sportsman and bowler and along with others he has been instru­ mental in bringing to Exeter many trophies from th© bowling greens. At one tournament in Seaforth he and Mr. R. N. Creech were successful in bringing home ^two trophies in Scotch Doubles. Along- with his business Mr. Hea­ man has disposed of his fine resi­ dence on John St. to Mr. Traquair, possession in May. . We understand that Mr. Heaman has no definite plans for the future. The loss to Exeter of so worthy a citizen will be generally regretted by many friends. At the same time while regretting to lose Mr. and. Mrs. Heaman and family, Exeter will welcome the new families who come to us so highly recommended from our neighboring town. Mr. Lindenfield has had con­ siderable experience ih the tinsmith­ ing department and for many years Mr. Traquair wab employed with Bonthron & Drysdale. DIED IN STEPHEN This community was shocked on Sunday to learn of the sad and sud­ den death of Mr. Titus Wilfred Law- son, who lives in Stephen Township west of Creiton, and the heartfelt sympathy of all goes out to the be­ reaved widow and family of three daughters and" one son. Mr. Law- son was in his 44th year. He was a son of the late Mr- and Mrs. George Lawson and was .born and raised ,,dn the'farm on wliich he died. The de­ ceased was highly respected by all who knew him. Just nineteen years on the Saturday before his death he was united in marriage to Miss Sa- die1 Wifi/' daughterJ of’Mr ." J. Willis,' of town; who with four children, Dorothy. Kathleen, Gerald and Eve­ lyn, are left to mourn his loss. Three brothers and three sisters also sur- ive, Joseph, of Crediton; James, of Exeter and Edward, Of London; Mrs. F. Reeder, of Stephen; Mrs. Thos J. Wilson, of London, and Mrs. Jos.
