Winghamhas los one of her grand old men in the per on of Edward Bos- man, who passed away on Saturday morning last at hi . home on Diagonal street. His deat came as a shock to the community fo though he had been in feeble health f. some time, he was not considered da gerotisly ill until the Friday morning •evious to his death. The deceased ge leman was born in Frodingham, York ire, England, and when in his 21st ye r in 1854, he can'ie to Canada, the triacross the ocean taking seven weeks. From Quebec to Hamilton he travel] d by boat as rail- roads in those earl, days were few. From Hamilton he ent to London and spent a few years in that city and. in Ingersoll and then .ved to Clinton. On the 21st of March, 1:60, he was married to Miss Mary Ste: henson at • Clinton and twoyears ago t e happy couple cel- brated their golde wedding. In the fall of 1862, Mr. Bo man took a trip to what was then kno n as the new count- ry and purchased the 100 acre farm on the centre sideroad of Morris Township two and 'a half miles south of Bluevale and took posses, tori in the sping of 1863. He bad a very amble start in life, but he was a very industrious, hard working man and made a success of all his under- takings, and with the able assistance of his parner in lif , was able in later life to take things asy and have all the comforts in life. In all his dealings Mr. Bosman was onorable and upright and his bond was always as good as his word. Since] his coming to Wingham in the spring of 1901 he has been a near neighbor of the editor of the 1'i tEs and a; better friend a d neighbor could not be found and the writer spent anumb- er of happy hour in his company and heard him relate the trials and hardships of pioneer Iife.r. Bosman was truly a "young old in nn" and always looked on the brightest( side of life and with all his sipkness lie was cheerful. He as a. man very riiuch interested in the 'elfare of the community in which he resided and was always in favor of ev- erything that untied to the better- ment of the coriunity. He was a member of the Morris Township Coun- cil for two years. In religion he was a Methodist and was very active in Church work and was re lar in attending church worship until fa ling health would not permit. In polit cs he was a Conserv- ative. Mr. Bosnl i had a very large circle of friends a his death is deeply regretted and Mrs Bosman and family will have the sym thy of the com- munity. Eleven ch Wren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bpsm as follows: -Mrs. R. G. Vincent, Blairmore, Alta; Mrs. L. Lake, Grey; Jon Bosman, Brand- on, Man., Mrs. Ro t. Maguire, M+ T- ris; Henry Bosman, on the homeste.•1; Mrs. T. G. Cam bell, (decease.;.); Charles Bosman,tdedeased) Mrs. Lewis Pepper, Goose Lakes Sask; Miss Jennie Bosman, (deceased; Mrs. Jas. H.

When I was .s poor ds Job, and monkeyed around the globe in indolent vagrant style, m life was a joyous thing, devoid of . smart or sting, and everything seeme i to smile. I hadn't a bundle then, I erded with homeless men, and padd.. the highway dnst; and care was thing unknown, as scarce as the lver bone, in days of the wanderlust. But now I am settled down, a prop .. this growing town, respectable till hurts; and I have a bundle fat, and have a stovepipe hat, and all kinds o scrambled shirts. I puff at a rich cis •. r, and ride in a motor car, and I have spacious lawn, and diamonds upon e shine; my credit is simply fine, th newspapers call me Hon.

Dame Worry is always t ere; she's whitened my scanty hair, she's cankered my weary breast; she never goes far away; she tortures me a 1 day and ruins my nightly rest. A often at night I sigh for a couch cath the open sky and the long whi road again; for the march through a sifting dust, and the lure of tho jwanderlust and the camp of the omeless men. -Walt Mason.
