Death of Capt. Francis. In the last issue of the ADVOCATE we published the death notice of Oapt. Francis, brother-in-law of our esteemed townsman, Mr, D. Mill, being a brother of Mrs. Mill. A Fullerton correspon- dent commenting on his death says:— ° `It is seldom a death occurs in this community that causes so deep and widespread regret as that of Saturday night last, which called to his long home one of our most highly respected and well known citizens, Captain Fran- cis. Always taking' a very active part in both m unicipal and political matters, he was well and favorably known throughout the l ountry. He was al- ways very honest and active until about three months ago when he was seized with partial paralysis, and al- though having. the best of Medical at- tendance and the kind and thoughtful care of a loving wife and affectionate family he gradually sank until Satur day evening the 15th inst., when he quietly fell asleep, the long sleep that knows no wakening. On Tuesday afternoon the remains were taken to the little cemetery between his late home and the village, followed by one of the largest concourses ever seen in the neighborhood, and there deposited to await the sounding of the great trumpet. The bereaved widow and sorrowing children have the sincere sympathy of the whole community for miles and miles around (for the Cap- tain was well known and very highly respected,) in this their great sorrow, In religion the; deceased was a member of theChurch of England and in poli- ties a staunch Conservative. In early life Captain Francis led a seafaring life, sailing on the lakes for 19 years, 16, years of which he was, captain of vessels. Abdilt 80 years ago he gave up sailing and settled on the farm on Which he breathed his last, and hewed Out dor himself and family a comfor- table home, nearly all of which time he has been identified with the council o the township, first as councillor, then aa deputy reeve for a great nutnber of sears, then as assessor, which last office he held for nine years and up to his death, His death, at the comparative- ly early age of 66 years and 8 months, has cast a gloom over the •uefghborhood for he was a ki:rrd and obliging neigh bor, Nobody ever asked a favor of the Captain and was refused, no leaves a widow and four sons and fiye, dough- tern all grown u to Ow mourn nr the1089 .g' p,of it loving husband and a kind and in. diligent father," The Court of Revision of the Domin- ion Voters' Lists will be held in the Town Hall to morrow (Friday.)
