Miller, passed away at her home here
in her eighty- eighth year. She and her
husband were among the early settlers
in Culross township and retired. here

devout Methodists. Mrs. Miller was
the last surviving member of a long-
lived family of six sisters and one bro-
ther, whose average exceeded eighty-
three years. This family came from the
county Tyrone, Ireland. Mrs, Miller is
survived by four sons and two daugh-
ters: Edward W„ Customs Appraiser,

The sublect of this sketch in the
person of Mr. Edward Armstrong
passed to the Great Beyond on Sunday,
Dec, 10th. The deceased was born in
the County of Fermanagh, Ireland, in
the year 1846, and when three months
of age came to Canada with his parents
and the rest of the family and settled
in the Township of Mountain, Province
of Ontario. Here they lived till the
year 1854 when they moved to lot 28,
con. 6, Howick Twp.,Huron County,
where he continued to live up to the
time of his demise. As the country
was then a wilderness, the sound of his
axe was often heard in trying to clear
up the farm and do his part as one of
the pioneers who made this country
what it is to -day. On October 12, 1876
he was married to Miss Angelina Weir,
who predeceased him eight years ago.
They were blessed with six children who
remain to mourn his loss, viz: -(Annie),
Mrs. Geo. A. Dane; (Jennie), Mrs.
Milton Leonard; David, all of Howick;
Marshall, of Harriston; Robert and
George, of Platto, Sask. Two sisters
and one brother also survive, viz: -Mrs.
Robert Weir, of Turnberry; Mrs. John
Johnston, Neepawa, Man., and Wm.
Armstrong, of Kisbey, Sask. Mr. Arm-
strong was a kind father, a loving hus-
band and a kind neighbor always
willing to give a helping hand to anyone
in need. In politics he was a staunch
Conservative, in religion a faithful
member of the Eordwich Anglican
church. For nearly fifty years he was
an active member of Newbridge, L.O L.
No. 775, and some two years ago was
made an honorary member.
