Mr. Donald N., MacGregor Passed
Away On Sunday Morning, After
. Brief Illness—Life Marked By De
votion To Church Work
A life of Christian devotion was
terminated by death on Sunday
morning, in the passing of Mr. Don
ald Norman MacGregor. ‘ Death cariie
to this venerable octogenarian at
eleven o’clock, at an hour, that thru
out his life has found him, with rare
exceptions, in his chosen place of
worship each. Sunday.
It was his activeness in the work
of the Church; that brought Mr. Mc
Gregor to this community over 40
years ago. kor from his riative heath
in Cape Breton, he came to ^Toronto
to attend a meeting of the Genera)
Assembly arid then paid a visit to
his two brothers, Murdoch and Alex,
who were at that time farming at
Kintail. Impressed with the district,
he returned to the Maritimes,- to
soon return to Huron with his wife
'ind family. They made their home
on the. Lakeshore Road in the Laur-
:eidistrict,overlookingLakeHuron^
Born in Cape Breton, Mr. Mac
Gregor was of Scottish parents, Mr.
md Mrs. John MacGregor. He was
me of a . family of four sons and
three daughters. .His . brother Duncan
;n Cape Breton, is the lone survivor.
FoHo.wing the death. Of his wife;
formerly Jessie Mackenzie, in 1904,
Mr. MacGregor went west for a few
years, but again returned to his
Laurier farm,, until his retirement
some fifteen years ago. Since then,
he has hiade his home' chiefly in
Lucknow with his daughter, Miss
Catherine ifMacGregor and his neph
ew, Mr. Donald' MacGregor. .
In Ashfield, Mr. Mcpregbr was a
member of Ashfield Presbyterian
Church, and during thcT latter years
of his life he has been a familiar
figure at each Sunday service in the
Lucknow United Church as well as
the mid-week prayer meeting. In.
every church, with which he has
been associated, he has been an elder
—in the East, in Ashfield, in the
West and in Lucknow. He was also
at one time, superintendent of Ash
field Presbyterian Church Sunday
Friends and relative? in Lucknow
were shocked -on Monday to learn
of the death of Mrs. Kenneth Mac
Leod, which occurred on Sunday, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Colonel Arthur M. Wolff, at Nyack-
ori-Hudson, New York. Mrs. Mac
Leod . had been spending the - winter
.in New/'York, and her friends here
were riot aware of her illness.
The funeral service will be held
this afternoon (Thursday) in the
Presbyterian Church at two o-ciock,
with interment in Soiith Kinloss
cemetery.
Relatives in the village feel they
are unable to provide us with ac
curate details, so that a fuller obit
uary will not appear until our next
issue.

Lucknow is ope^ri'f'the Hydro cus

result of the. HfiS.P.C. cost ” adjust
ments for the fiscal year 1935, The
credit to the Lucknow, system as
vealed. in the “13th Power Bill”
■$2563.71 and far exceeds credits of
other years. A further credit
$.17.73 represents accrued interest
on the 1934 surplus, making the not
credit to the village $2581.44.
This credit represents the differ,
ence between tile estimated cost of
power at the first of the year, and
the actual cost, a'rrived at. upon the
“‘oheiusion of the year’s operations.
Tn 1935 the Lucknow system paid to
the H.E.P.C. jthe sum of $13,018.57.
Actual cost of the $ower supplied
the village was $10,454.86. The diff
erence or overcharge becomes the
■ • .V ■opesent sizeable credit.
It is well that such is the . case,
itlierwise the local system would be
operating in the “red” for total sale
if power in the village,’ amounted to
$15642;55-, . with total disbursitients
$16296.34. The “13th Power Bill”

MAKE PRESENTATION
ville was proprietor of the Dunferm
line Mills in Wawanosh near Belfast,
named after the town in Scotland
where he and James Somerville were
boys together with Andrew Carnegie,
for that was his native town also.
I wa^ never a resident of Lucknow
like Mr. Caswell, but^I knew' the
district fairly/well sixty years ago.
As a small boy I passed through it
in-48677 as' ouF^family moved riorth
to Holyrood. (Memories of my stay
in Kinloss then will make another
story. X We moved back to Colborne
township after my father’s death at
Holyrood, and in due time I grew
up, got a teacher’s certificate and
went north to Holyrood to teach my
