WOOL WANTED Canada Packers EXETER & CENTRALIA The Late Hamlin Cooper Two weeks ago we made mention of the death of Mr. Hamlin Cooper, of Hardisty, Sask., brother of Mrs. Wm. Pincombe, of town. The follow­ ing item refers to his death; "The sudden death . of Hamlin Cooper, which occured last Saturday morning came as a great shock to the whole community. Thomas Ham­ lin Cooper was born at Lucan, On­ tario, on January 7, 1891. He came West twenty-four years ago, and foi’ the past 21 years has been farming in the Strong district south of Har­ disty. From the time he settled here, he bad taken a keen interest in all matters affecting the public welfare, and gave eighteen years of faithful service as a Councillor of Flagstaff Municipality, continuing active till the very end. He was widely known and highly respected as a man of charming personality and conscientious devotion to duty. A man of high ideals and noble char­ acter, his constant purpose in life was to serve his fellow man. The whole community is poorer for his passing, and it will be no easy task to fill his place. To his sorrowing wife and family who survive him, as well as his brother John, and a sister Beatrice (Mrs. Chadwick) and other relatives the deepest sympathy of all is extended The funeral service was hdld in Hardisty on Monday, May 8th, the Rev. P. J. Disney offi­ ciating, assisted by the Rev. I. N. Hughson. Interment took place in Hardisty cemetery. Although the worst dust storm of the season was blowing at the time set for the service, a very large number' of friends and neighbors were present, testifying at once to the sympathy all felt for the bereav­ ed, and to the high regard in which the name of Hamlin Cooper was everywhere held.” COOKED MEATS for the Hot Weather Virginia Ham Cooked Ham Coronation Loaf Headcheese Meat Loaf Bologna Weiners, Etc.
