OBITUARY
Miss Harriet R. Reynolds
Following an illness of five weeks,
Miss Harriet R. Reynolds, one of
Wingham’s pioneers, passed away on
Thursday, April 2nd. She was the
daughter of the late J. R. and Mrs.
Reynolds and was born in Kent
County but has'been a resident of this
5 town since she was quite young. She
*’ was of a quiet retiring disposition but
■endeared herself to a large circle of
friends who will miss her greatly.
She leaves to mourn her passing,
four sisters and. two brothers, Emma,
Mabel, Bernice and Mrs. Marsales, all
of town; James R., Toronto, and Ar
thur, of Duluth.
The funeral service was held at her
late home, Leopold Street, on Satur
day afternoon and was conducted by
Rev. E. L. Roberts, R.D., Rector of
St. Paul’s Anglican Church, of which
she was a member.
The pallbearers were: J. O. Hab-
kirk, D. B. Porter, W. T. Booth, E.
S. Copeland, W. J. Greer and W. H.
Haney. The burial took place in the
Wingham Cemetery.
Friends and relatives from a dis
tance who attended the funeral were:
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Marsales, Buff
alo, N.Y.; Mr. and. Mrs. Reynolds

On August 16th last year John Cur
rie, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Currie
found a large green caterpillar under
the apple tree in the Currie back
yard. John very kindly brought it to
this office so that we could display
it for others to see. We put it in a
bottle but before many had a chance
to look it over it wove itself into its
silken bed (Aug. 19).
This caterpillar was about 4 inches
long and light green in color. It had
two sets of legs, 8 heavy duty and
one toward the back of its body and
six'smaller ones toward the fr.ont. On
its back were 12 spikes, some orange
with black specks and some green
with orange specks. It was as large
around as a man’s thumb.
We stated at that time we would
keep it and see what the result would
be. The result was a beautiful Sarnia
Cecropia-Linnaeus male moth which
issued forth from the cocoon Friday,
April 3rd. It is now on display in our
window and its description' is as fol
lows :
The head of the male bears large
feathered antennae.
Thorax—The prothorax bears a
white band, resembling a white col
lar. The mesothorax and metathorax
are reddish-brown, separated by a
white band. The abdomen has five
narrow white bands, alternating with
five reddish-brown bands edged with
black, followed by wide reddish-
brown band with a wide white band.
The body is very large and heavy.-;
The wings measure 4 1[4 inches from-
anterior to posterior with an expan-;
sion of five inches.
The wings have a wavy sand col
oured margin. The ground color is
reddish-grey with a wide wavy white-’
band running from the tip of the
forewing to the hind edge of the pos-;
terior wing. A round purple spot is
found at the anterior angle of the
forewing. Each wing bears a
coloured crescent shaped spot
with purplish black.

the rendering of that service God be
comes real to us. We should serve
others because that service will re
