()tee after another the pioneer resi- dents of our village are being sum- moned to their reward.' This week it becomes our duty to record the death of Mr. John Strang, who passed away on Thursday of last week at the great age of 85 years. The deceased has hovered between life and death for some time from the infirmities of old age, consequently his death was not in the least unexpected. Mr. Strang was a native of. Scotland, and carne to Canada when the greater part of Huron tract was a dense wilderness, consequently he was among the many who endured the hardships of pioneer life. As a farmer Mr. Strang had few equals and by dint of faithful applica- tion to duty he acquired a valuable es- tate, He was a staunch Reformer in politics and a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. He was a pian of more than ordinary intellig- ence and was much respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaint- ance. The deceased is survived by three sons and three daughters. The funeral, which tock place to the Rod- gerville .cemetery on Tuesday, was largely attended, the Rev, W. M. Martin officiating. council. Minutes.
