The late Mr. John Crowston, whose
/death was recorded in our issue of De-
cember llth, was born in the year 1829
at Hull, Yorkshire, Eng. He spent his
early years working with a man who
was at once a farmer, brewer and hotel -
keeper. He came to Canada in May of
1851 in a sailing vessel, and in June
began life in the new world with a
farmer at lobico, near Toronto, with
whom he worked in the harvest fields
in the summer and teamed cordwood to
Toronto in the winter. Here he married
Miss Bella Anderson in 1853 and togeth-

The Small Depositor
SMALL depositors in this
bank are given the same
courteous treatment and
thorough consideration that
are given customers with
large accounts.
The aim of this institu-
tion is to encourages s-
matic saving. Malty a fors

dollar, which furnishes evi-
dener that the amou.,t of
the first deposit is not as
iniporfant as the fact that

er with his brother James, who hal
come to Canada, they caine to Kinloss
where they took up the farm upon
which they have since lived. Land in
these parts was not on the market for
sale then, but when it was put up for
sale Mr. Crowston purchased one bund-
' red acres. Mr. Crowston had many in-
t 'resting facts to relate about the pion-
eer days and would tell how he and his
b' other rr ade their beds out of cedar
and hemlock boughs and sat up turn
about to keep the fire on at night. He
was the first white man to cross the
stream between the Murray and Wraith'
farms, or to put an axe into a tree in
this part of the country. John Crows -
ton was honest to a fault: a character-
istic story of him is the following:
While having dinner in a Wingham
hotel, after drawing in some cord wood
to the hotelkeeper, the proprietor said
he would pile the wood but he might
pile it too closely, upon which John
replied to go ahead as he was selling
wood not space. In religion Mr. Crows -
ton was a Methodist and always took a
deep interest in the affairs of the
chur,:h. being a trustee and teacher in
the Sunday school for many years. He
never had the advantage of an educa-
tion but still was a great reader and was
well posted in all current and political
events of the day. In politics he was a
strong Liberal. His wife died some
years ago and he leaves to mourn the
loss of a kind father three sons and one
daughter: Frank, Charles and Mrs.
Annie Mirehouse, of North Dakota, and
Isaac N. on the homestead.
