We refer to Mr. adley Doan, who passed away on. Friday last at the great age of 86 years and 4 months. For the past yearn deceased's health has been in a very enfeebled condition, the result of a deep set cold contracted last winter and this coupled with the infirmities of old age severed the cord and he passed peacefully away. Deceased has been a resident of Rodgerville for over forty years and no man in the community was more highly respected forhis integri- ty, good qualities of both heart and head and steeling principals. Bono in the United States he came to Roger- ville over forty years ago and went into the tanning business which he followed for mauy years. He is sur- vived by one son and one daughter— Mr. Henry Doan, V.S., of Zurich, and Mrs. Willis, with whom he has made his home, since the death of his aged partner, who predeceased him several years.was a member of the Pres- byterian Church He irch and also of the Ma- sonic fraternity. He was the oldest member of Lebantin Forest Lodge, No. 133, at Exeter, of which he was a member since 1860, and probably no more enthusiastic mason ever lived. When in health and strength he scarce- ly ever missed a meeting of the lodge, and he together with Bro. Jos. Case, who for some years has been dead, has been known to drive to the meet- ing at Exeter through the most bitter kind of weather and most di1 cult roads to travel. The funeral took place under the Masonic auspices on Mon- day to the Rogerville Cemetery. The Rev. Smith, of Hensall, conducted the service of the Presbyterian Church while Dr. Amos, Wor. Master of the Lodge to which deceased belonged, conducted the Masonic service, assist- ed by about thirty brethern from Exe- ter and Hensall. School Boot. st The following is the report of S. S.
