Henry McKay ;an old and esteemed resident of Culross Township dropped dead at his home on Sunday, May 23rd. He was about 80 years of age, and death was no doubt due to cenile decay and heart failure. For many years the late Mr, McKay, was prominent in the public life of the- township, serving first as councillor and later for a number of years as reeve until he voluntarily re- tired. His outspoken and even pugnai- cious manner, though it made him many enemies, commended him to the rate- payers Who recognized in hie{ -an hon- est man and a faithful servant. For years after his retirement . from muni- cipal life a speech by McKay was a regular feature of the annual nomina- tion meeting. In religion he was a Presbyterian and in politics was an in- dependent, having espoused the Patron movement of the early nineties. SOWIOI4. . It is with sad regret that we record this week the death of Henry Gallagh- er, who passed away at his residence lot 30, con. 1, Howick, on Wednesday morning, May 19. Deceased had a paralytic stroke in March, 1913, from which he sufficiently recovered to be around again. For the last four months he has gradually grown weaker, and in spite of all that loving hands and medi- cal aid could do • he passed peacefully away into the Great Beyond. Deceas- ed was born in the' County of Durham in 1856, coming' to Morris Township with his parents id 1866, where he lived till after the death of his father. In March, 1887, he married Miss Olive Sothern, of Fordwich, and settled on the farm where they lived when he passed away. He was a good husband and a loving father, ever ready to do anything for the pleasure and comfort of his children. In politics he was a staunch Conservative. TC ItN:t3 4It KV.
