OBITUARY_____ / William Chesley Hastings • (Temiskaming Speaker, New Liskeard) The death occurred on Thursday last,. May 22nd, of a very well known citizen of Temiskaming.in the person of William Chesley Hastings. Mr. Hastings passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. G. McNabb, at Burk’s Falls, it being rather a strange coincidence that the Muskoka town saw both the beginning and the end of his oareer. He was in his56th year. Leaving the old home at Wingham as a young man, Mr. Hastings ac­ cepted his first position with a lumber concern at Burk’s Falls and remained there until coming to Temiskaming in 1905. He continued in the lumber business in New Liskeard, in partner-, ship with his father, the late Robert Hastings, for a period of two years, during •which time he was married to the former Miss Goldie Hood of Tor­ onto. After living in a couple of loca­ tions in this district, they finally pur chased their present farm in Kerns Township, where Mr. Hastings has been one of the most progressive far­ mers. The property, after being clear­ ed of stumps, was transformed into' one of 'the most attractive farmsteads in the north, with neat buildings and beautiful tree plantings. Mr. Hastings was the organizer of the Temiskaming Farmers’ Associa­ tion and remained its zealous presi­ dent for a period of three years. Of the family, there are left, besides Mrs. Hastings, one son, George, of New Liskeard^ qnd three daughters, Mrs. R. Sinclair (Ruby of Timmins, Laura of the Wright-Hargreaves office Stcd/f, ,Kirkland Lake, and Mrs. W, G. Mc­ Nabb (Margaret), of Burks Falls, for­ merly with her husband, of the Royal Bank staff in New Liskeard; also two brothers, Roy and Elmer Hastings of Wingham. Two of Mr. Hastings* bro­ thers were killed in action in the last Great War, the younger Alvin, being a member of the 228th Battalion which was recruited in Temiskaming and in FORMER LOCAL LADY IN CAR ACCIDENT Miss E. Raymer, formerly of the City. Mission here, Suffered Broken Arm ■ Rev. T. R.

The 1934 Dodge driven by Mr. Bar­ ley, was travelling north when a 1926 Studeback$r.. truck driven by* Walter North, wh|,^j&side about half-way be­ tween Mill^^Xake and Burley’s Corn­ er, came otiLdf 20th sideroad, Lindsay Township, turned south and piled in­ to the Barley ;car. Though neither car was overturned or ditched in the crash, practically all the members of the minister’s party, who were on their way to the home of Mrs. B. Remington of Miller Lake where a mission meeting was being conducted that evening with Miss Ray­ mer as guest speaker and singer, suf­ fered from the impact. Besides the broken arm, Miss Ray­ mer received minor injuries.
