WINGHA,N1 ADVANCE-TIME'S OBITUARY Mrs, John Wray On November 21st at the residence of her daughter in Toronto, there passed away, in the person of Eliza Jane 'Crawford, widow of the late John Wray, an old resident of the townships of Howick and Turnberry. The late Mrs. Wray was born on July 29th in the year 1857 in the town- ship of Mornington near the village of Millbank in the county of Perth. She was the eldest daughter of the late Andrew Crawford, the 'family consist- ing of five boys and five girls of which now none remain. After her marriage in 1888 she along with her husband took up farming near the village of Fordwich, and some two years later moved to the old Wray homestead on the sixth line of Turnberry now oc- cupied by her eldest son Gordon. In the Autumn of 1928 she and her husband moved to the village of Wroxeter, and a few months after- wards she was left a widow. Until three years ago she spent her summers in Wroxeter and the winters in To- ronto, since that time she was unable to be alone, but managed this last summer to be able to spend approxi- mately six weeks in her own home among her kind and dear Wroxeter WEDDINGS Tiffin Stewart. A quiet wedding was solemnized at the Wingham United Church parson- age by Rev, W, A, Beecroft, at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, November 22nd, when Jean Ilean, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Whitney Stewart of Wingham, became the bride of" Mr. Daniel Car- lyle Tiffin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Tiffin, Whitechurch. The bride wore a street-length dress of turquoise blue crepe trimmed with sequins. Her corsage was bronze mums. After the wedding ceremony, a dinner was serv- ed at the home of the' bride's parents.

Memorial Service Largley Attended Rev. Mr. Beecroft, Wingham, con- ducted the largely attended memorial service held in the Howick Township Hall on Sunday afternoon, when young and old filled the hall to overflowing as a means whereby they showed their sympathy to the bereaved wife, parents and family of Pte. William Cowan, aged 20 years, who was killed in action in France on October 15. Pte. Cowan joined the Highland Light Infantry of Canada in Decem- ber 1943, receiving training at Brant- ford, Camp Ipperwash and Halifax before going overseas in July of this year, and to France the same month. In the fall of 1943 he married Edith Keating, Toronto, where she resides, who with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Cowan, one sister (Bessie), Mrs. John Abraham, and one brother Charles, mourn his death. In speaking of Pte, Cowan, Rev. Beecroft spoke of him as a Howick boy, doing his part for his country and in so doing gave his all—his life. A life, given as so many others today are being given, that we here at home can have security and be free from the ravages of war. He spoke too, of the deathless army, one who marches on; as one whose name will never fade as from the tablets of marble and bronze, where the name has been etched, a living symbol of his sacri- fice for his country. The service was held under the auspices of the Howick 'branch of the Canadian Legion, Occupying the place of honour among the many beautiful floral tokens, was the picture' of Pte, Cowan, back of all hung the large Union Jack. The choir from Gorrie United Church with Miss Janice Strong as pianist led the singing and as well sang "Does Jesus Care." The hymn used in the service were "0 God our help in ages past", "0 Valiant Heart" and "Lord while for all mankind we pray." Pollowing the funeral a cortege was formed and proceeded to Gorrie Cem- etery where wreaths were placed at the cross and on the mound. The flowers were carried by Dick Carson and Leo Ruttan. Rev. Peccroft led in prayer followed by the sounding of the Last Post and Reveille interspers- ed by two minutes silence, William ,ohnson The funeral of a kilter Howick and 411 • p 01, r71 44.u.
