The following has reference to the
brother-in-law of Mrs. Alfred 'limey,
of town. Mt•. and Mrs. Ri010415 were
former residents of Exeter and well
known in this neighborhood. "John
Richerts, of hose company, No. 3,
Port Huron, was seriously, if not
fatally, injured during a time at the
Huron Cycle and Electrical Corupanya
building last week. While fighting
the fire upon the roof of Frank Beck -
ton's saloon building John Richerts
slipped on the ice and fell thirty-five
feet to the grouted below. He fell be-
tween the burning building and the
one upon which he was standing and
It was almost a miracle that he was
not killed. He was taken to bis home
in an ambulance and eared for by Dr.
C. E. Spencer, who could find no
broken bones. Internal injuries are
feared, however."
McCord -Freya• Nuptials
The following has reference to a
well-known young lady of Usborne:-
A very happy event took place at the
borne of Mr. Hobert McCord, of the
9th con. of London tp., 01) Wednesday.
January llth, when his daughter, Miss
Lila, was united in the holy bonds of
matrimony to Mr. Chas. H. Frayne. a
prosperous real estate broker, of Sault
Ste. Marie, Ont. The ceremony.
which took place at high noon, was
performed by Rev. T. C. S4uulderson,
of Mount Brydges. The bride looked
lovely in white crepe de chene trimmed
with white satin ribbon, and carried
a bouquet of white roses in hes hair.
Miss Loraine Ready, of St. Mary's,
who was also daintily gowned, in
cream carhmere and carried white
roses, made a pretty little flower girl.
The bride entered the parlor leaning
on the arm of her father, to the strains
of a wedding march played by Mrs.
Peter Gowans, of Exeter. After the
ceremony and congratulations, the
bride and groom, accompanied by the
guests, entered the dining room and
partook of a daintily spread wedding
dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Frayne Left on
the 8.20 ttaln for Woodstock, before
proceeding to the Soo, where they will
make their future borne.
Died is Debora*.
Death has claimed another well-
known former old resident of Exeter,
in the person of Robert Delve, who
died at the home of his son-in-law,
Mr. George Jeffery, Thames Road. on
Sunday morning last about 4.30 o'clock.
Born in Devonshire, England, he came
to Canada about 35 years ago and set-
tled in Newbury where he made his
home for several years. About thirty
years ago he moved to Exeter and for
many years was employed on the
Grand Trunk as sectlonman. After
the decease of his wife several years
ago he broke up housekeeping and for
the greater part of the time since has
lived with his daughter, Mrs. Jeffery.
Deceased was a victim of asthma but
he enjoyed his usual health up to about
two weeks previous to his death when
he was stricken with an attack of
dropsy, coupled with heart trouble,
and he sank gradually until relieved
of his suffering. He was a hardwork-
ing, industrious old gentleman, hon-
est and true and for whom every per-
son had a good word to say. He
leaves a large grown-up family of two
sons and eight daughters to mourn his
demise. The funeral took place from
the residence of Mr. Jeffery on Tues-
day to the Exeter cemetery.
