GRAND BENDINSPECTOR’S VISITEXETER MOURNhS THE LOSS
OF PpOAHNENT MERCHANT
A shadow of gloom was cast over
this community on Friday last when
it was learned that Mr. Chester Per
cival Harvey had passed away at
Victoria Hospital,. London, Mr.
Harvey, who conducted one of the
leading grocery stores in Exeter,
was taken to the hospital on the
Sunday previous suffering from an
acute attack of appendicitis and un
derwent an operation the same day;
On Thursday his condition was re
ported -as serious and it was with
widespread regret that*this commun
ity learned of his death on Friday.
Mr» Harvey was in the prime of life,
his age being 37 years and 16 days.
In November 1919 he opened up a
grocery store in town in partnership
with his brother, Mr. E. C. Harvey
and later he took over his brother’s
interests. By close attention to
business he worked up a splendid
trade enjoying a very liberal pat
ronage.
'The deceased was a war veteran.
In September 1915 he enlisted at
London with the Canadian Mounted
Rifles and the following summer
trained at Hamilton. He went over
seas in August, 1916 and in De
cember of the same year went to-
France,with the Fort Garry Horse
where he served until the end of the
war.
Before enlisting Mr. Harvey spent
several years in the West being in
partnership with his brotlier-in-Jaw,
Mr. A. E. Buswell in a general store
business at’ Flaxacombe, Sask. Be
fore going West he was employed
for several years with Jones & May.
After returning from overseas he
was married the following March to
Miss Myrtle Moodie, who predeceas
ed him a year later shortly after the
birth of their little daughter Doris.
On June 1st, 1921, Mr. Harvey was
united in marriage with Miss Laura
Jory and to this union one son, Leo
nard, and one daughter Alta, were
born. Besides the ’above mention
ed the deceased is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Har
vey, three sisters and one brother;
Mrs. A. E. Buswell, of Lucknow;
Mrs. L. W. White, of Flaxcombe,
Sask., Ernest C. and Mrs. J. Batson,
town to whom is, extended the
sympathy of the whole community.
The funeral, private, was held on
Monday afternoon from fee home of
his parents and was conducted by
Rev. D. McTavish, of James St. Unit
ed ehitrch of which the deceased was
a member. The floral tributes to
the deceased were exceptionally
beautiful. Among those from a dis
tance who attendedvthe funeral were
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Buswell,and fapi-
ily, and Dr. Victor and Mrs. John
ston, of Lucknow; sMr. Samuel Rowe,

directions were seen responding to
the alarm. It was the annual visit
of 'the’Inspector of the Fire Under

facilities for fire fighting.

FIRE DESTROYS FARM HOME
The fine farm home of Mr, Nel
son Coultis, a short distance south
of Elimville, was, destroyed by fire
Friday evening of last week. The
Coultis family were sitting at. the
supper table when they noticed a
heavy smoke being carried away
from the house. With-ouf going to
investigate ’Mr. Coultis realized the
house was on fire and immediately
summoned Hie Exeter Fire Brigade
ajid notified the neighbors by tele
phone. The roof of the main part
0* the house had caugnt fire and
fanned by the strong wind was mak
ing rapid headway. The neighbors
gathered and in a short time prac
tically everything was removed from
the house. A bucket brigade was
formed and carried water to fight
the flames. When the Exeter fire
men arrived on the scene the roof
of the house had fallen in and the
fire was confined to the second stor
ey. With the chemical engine the
firemen did effective work but their
supply was limited. There was a
good supply of water both at the
house and the barn. One man was
in the cellar drawing* water l’ranr

like heroes. The water was carried
up a ladder, over the roor of. the
kitchen to the top of the house and
in spite of the cold wind and the
water slopping all over them they
worked faithfully as pail after’ pail
was handed along the line. The
front part of the house was practi
cally destroyed. Parts of both walls
either fell in or were pulled out by
the workers. The kitchen which
was also a brick veneer was saved.
A slight rain came up and partly
damaged some of the household ef
fects out in the open. The cause
of the fire is supposed to have been
from a firecracker which landed on
the roof.
The damage is partly covered by
insurance.

EARLY FROSTS
Heavy frosts visited this section
on Sunday and Monday nights and
various degrees of damage is re
ported. Some report potatoes, beans
and tomatoes as being nipped while
others came through alright, It is
difficult to estimate the damage
to strawberries and early fruits. The
Exeter branch of the Canadian Dan
ners are experimenting this year
with an acre of tomatoes, the plants
for which were put out last week.
Fires Were built around the field
ward off the frost but in spite
this some damage was done.
