Walter T. Risdop
Funeral services for Walter T. Ris-
don, Detroit laundry operator, were
held at the Harvey A. Neely funeral
home, 5683 Maybury Grand Avenue,
Detroit, on Wednesday. Burial was
in Grand Lawn Cemetery. Mr. Risdon
who was 64 years old, died Monday,
Dec, 9th, at his home, 5260 Spokane
avenue.
Born at "Wingham, Ont., Mr, Ris
don went to Detroit as a young man
and entered the laundry business. He
long operated the Hoyt Laundry, 631
Bagley Avenue. His wife was the late
Gertrude A, Risdon, He leaves two
daughters, Mrs. • Ina M, Fuller and
Mrs, Glenna Robertson; a son, Wal
ter J.; two brother, Frank J. and Er
nest J., and four sisters, Mrs. Jennie
Potts, Mrs, Anna Raynor, Mrs. Edith
and
selections were “Jesus Bambino” tak
en by a ladies' chorus, Mrs. Hiseler*
soloist; anothem “Break Forth" and
“Let Carols Ring” also a solo "O Holy
Night” by Mrs. Beecroft. The pastor
spoke briefly on “Music in Worship"
saying that Christian music is a trib
ute to Jesus, no other person has been
the inspiration for such good music.
A song is the overflow of a deeply
moved heart* a heart set on fire by
love. Do these Christmas songs come
from our hearts, do we mean them or
do we make Christmas a mere holi
day? These were questions left for
each listener to think about, A special
feature was the christening of two lit
tle ones, James Richard, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Howson, and Claudia
Irene, daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Omar
Hasclgrove. In the evening Mr. Bee
croft took as his subject “The Second
War Christmas" hwich is really the
sixth war Christmas, in the memory
of many. Anthem sung were “Let
Carols Ring" “The First Noel” and
“While Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks," Mrs. Beecroft taking the solo
parts.

“The Home of Good Shoes”
Richmond Howe Coplin
(Blaine Lake Echo)
Blaine Lake lost ’one of its
respected and loved citizens in the
death of Richmond Howe Coplin, on
Sunday, Dec. 1st, in St. Paul’s Hos
pital, Saskatoon.
Mr. Coplin was born Sept. 8, 1877,
in Buffalo, N.Y., and came to Ontario
in 1885. In 1908 he came to Blaine
Lake, where he homesteaded. In 1908
he married Miss Mary Gillies, who
survives him, with three children, Mrs.
Elwood Jones, Noreen and Allan. One
daughter, Bertha, predeceased him. J.
J. Coplin, of Blaine Lake, is a brother
and a sister, Mrs. Hector MacKay,
lives in Whitechurch, Ontario.
Requiem High Mass was sung for
Mr. Coplin Dec, 4th in St. Andrew’s
Church. Rev* Father Belleau presided
at the organ and special vocal selec
tions were rendered by Mr. and Mrs*
J* Taphouse. Pallbearers were: F. M.
King, J. P. Crowe, Alex* Finlan, John
Gazella* J. Hoarst and M, Willick, In
terment was madin the Blaine Lake
Catholic Cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire district
is extended to the relatives in their
bereavement. Mr. Coplin’s old home
Was on Con, 2, Culross.
Mrs. C* H. MacDonald
Mrs. MaaDcmald, wife of Rev. C. H.
MacDonald, minister of the Lucknow
Presbyterian Church and Erskine Pres

rion of Guelph.
Sixteen years ago the MacDonald
family went to Lucknow from Cree*
more at which time Rev. Mr* Mac
Donald became pastor of Lucknow
The Christmas Story in sermons,
carols ahd hymns, was told or sung
in all the churches herb on Sunday.
The congregations in all cases were
large and were swelled considerably
by those who were already home for
the Christmas holiday.
It was a wondeful thing that this
story of Peace and Good-Will toward
men is being told in all countries
where democracy rules and not cen
sored or controlled as it is in some
countries. We are a free people able
to worship as is our desire, truly a
privilege that all appreciate.
A purely choral Christmas service
was a pleasing innovation at Wing-
ham United Church on Sunday morn
ing. The choir, under the leadership
of Miss Tena Reid, provided the mus
ic and were assisted by Rev. W. A.
and Mrs. Beecroft. The service com
menced with the anthem “Christians
Awake", Mrs. G. McLean and Mrs.
Beecroft taking the solo parts. Other

en by Mrs. C. Martin, after which
there was prayer by Mrs. George Dal
gleish. The dedicatory prayer was
