One after another the vetrans of Exeter's business circle are departing from among us, leaving only the lustre of their uutaruished names and the example of their exemplary lives for the guidance and emulation of the younger generation This weak we record the death of Benjamin Vallack Elliot, Esq , senior member of the firm of Elliot & Gladman, and one of the oldest and most respected business men of Exeter, who died ou Thursday of ternoou of last week, after a some what prolonged illness from an affec- tion of the bladder. His case at first was not of such a severe nature as to prevent him from attending to his business duties although he was gradually weakening and his many friends have been paiued in the past few months to notice his health grow. ing feebler and his vitality weaker. A few weeks ago he deemed it advis able to undergo an operation and for that purpose went to New York. The operation was performed by the most skilful surgeons in New York and he returned home apparently much im proved and gave promise to outlive the difficulty, but it was not long be- fore his case took a turn fon the worse and he gradually sank until death re lieved him of his sufferings. Mr. Elliot was horn in Devonshire, England, in the year 1815 and was therefore in his 84th year His early years were spent, in his native place and after studying law, practiced in Plymouth and Lon- don. In 1856 he came to Canada, and settled in Exeter in 1860, where be bas been in business continuously ever since His career has been a busy one and his life affords a striking example of the success which invariably attends devotion to duty. In politics Mr. Elliot was always a staunch Conservative and in religion an Episcopalian. He'. leaves a loving wife, seven sons and three daughters to morn the loss of a dear husbaud and parent, to whom the genuine sympathy of the public is extee,ded.
