I, Ilia II Death of Lawrence Bennett, of Usborne. The subject ot this sketch, who was so suddenly and unexpectedly called to his rest on 'Monday, the 5th of March, 1878, was bora in Kent County, England, in the year 1821, and was, therefore, at the time his death in bis 678h year. When a boy of twelve years of age he immigrated to this country, with hie father's family sud set- tled at St Thomas, where Ile spent his youthful years like all first settlers, in rug- ged battle with the forests of that part of Ontario. Being almost of giant stature, standing 6 feet four, and of proportional strength and build, these combined with a willing dispositinn made his strong sinewy arms a power of help to his family as well as to his neighbors, and like a great many others of his time became wonderfully dex- terous in the use of the axe ad scythe. On the outbreak of the rebellion m 1837, still a mere boy, deceased at onee offered his services to the cause of his country and Queen, and served on picket and guard duty on the shores of Lake Erie, west ut St Thomas, under Dr. McKenzie (then Col McKenzie) of London, Ontario, After see- ing his father's family comfortably settled in Elgin County, Mr. Bennett, filled with the ambition of growing manhood, took to himself s partner for life, in the person of Ann Minor, who, with three children, sur- vive him, one son having died in Port Huron some years ago, from injuries caus- ed by a kick from a horse, Thirty-three years ago, when this part of Ontario was a wild forest, he, with his young family, settled in Usborne townsbip, and there began to hew out a home. In this he was very successful, and by a life of probity and thrift, ably itesiated by his willing part- ner, a goodly and sufficient share of this wozld's good's was accumulated, and then when the sun of life bad passed the noon meridian, he took up his abode in Elim- ville and enjoyed the decline of life in com- fort. It was there, iu that little village, that the curtain was drawn ite above stated. to the surprise and sorrow ot the whole neighborhood. Deceased was of kindly and quiet disposition, a kind father and a good neighbor. A quick wit and a retentive memory made him an interesting and boon companion, the many incidents happening and adventures eucountered during the eebelliou, and in the early backwoods life of the fleet settlers, formecl very interesting reminiscences. 'Up to within a few days of his death he enjoyed splendid. health and his sudden taking off was a severe sheen. Heart disease was apparently the cause of death. The funeral takes place to -day, Thereday, at 2 p. m. for Zion Olitireb cem- etery, and will no doubt be largely attend- ed, as deceased was Widely known and nighty respected, 18 may be a source of satisfaction to others as it is to the sorrow- ing friend e and relatives to know, that on being questioned by Rev. W. Penhell, just O few hours preyious to his death, as to his soul's welfare, his answer was : "It is all right." LonclOn Free Press and Adver- tiser please copy.

I, Ilia II Death of Lawrence Bennett, of Usborne. The subject ot this sketch, who was so suddenly and unexpectedly called to his rest on 'Monday, the 5th of March, 1878, was bora in Kent County, England, in the year 1821, and was, therefore, at the time his death in bis 678h year. When a boy of twelve years of age he immigrated to this country, with hie father's family sud set- tled at St Thomas, where Ile spent his youthful years like all first settlers, in rug- ged battle with the forests of that part of Ontario. Being almost of giant stature, standing 6 feet four, and of proportional strength and build, these combined with a willing dispositinn made his strong sinewy arms a power of help to his family as well as to his neighbors, and like a great many others of his time became wonderfully dex- terous in the use of the axe ad scythe. On the outbreak of the rebellion m 1837, still a mere boy, deceased at onee offered his services to the cause of his country and Queen, and served on picket and guard duty on the shores of Lake Erie, west ut St Thomas, under Dr. McKenzie (then Col McKenzie) of London, Ontario, After see- ing his father's family comfortably settled in Elgin County, Mr. Bennett, filled with the ambition of growing manhood, took to himself s partner for life, in the person of Ann Minor, who, with three children, sur- vive him, one son having died in Port Huron some years ago, from injuries caus- ed by a kick from a horse, Thirty-three years ago, when this part of Ontario was a wild forest, he, with his young family, settled in Usborne townsbip, and there began to hew out a home. In this he was very successful, and by a life of probity and thrift, ably itesiated by his willing part- ner, a goodly and sufficient share of this wozld's good's was accumulated, and then when the sun of life bad passed the noon meridian, he took up his abode in Elim- ville and enjoyed the decline of life in com- fort. It was there, iu that little village, that the curtain was drawn ite above stated. to the surprise and sorrow ot the whole neighborhood. Deceased was of kindly and quiet disposition, a kind father and a good neighbor. A quick wit and a retentive memory made him an interesting and boon companion, the many incidents happening and adventures eucountered during the eebelliou, and in the early backwoods life of the fleet settlers, formecl very interesting reminiscences. 'Up to within a few days of his death he enjoyed splendid. health and his sudden taking off was a severe sheen. Heart disease was apparently the cause of death. The funeral takes place to -day, Thereday, at 2 p. m. for Zion Olitireb cem- etery, and will no doubt be largely attend- ed, as deceased was Widely known and nighty respected, 18 may be a source of satisfaction to others as it is to the sorrow- ing friend e and relatives to know, that on being questioned by Rev.
