Gorr Roma, -Sunday evening July
2511), was the closing eve of Wm.
Pollard's life when he passed away
front the home of his daughter, Mrs,
Newton McCauley, Queen street West
Brussels, in his 78th year. Deceased
was born in County Clare, Ireland, in
the year 1881 and came to this country
in early manhood, settling in the Co,
of Perth, Logan, township, where he
married Miss Mary Moody, who now
mourns ins death. After a residence
of 14 years 111 Logan he sold out and
purchased lot I9, con. 6, Grey, from
Win. Sanders, securing the crown
deed of the 100 acres and moved his.
wife and family to it, which property
he held in his possession until 4months
prior to his death when he sold to
Robert Dockett and went to live with
his daughter in Brussels. Mr. Pollard
had not been in good health for the
past few months and sank rapidly the
last two weeks, heart failure canning
his death. The family consisted of 10
sons and 3 daughters, viz :-Henry,
Ladysmith, B. C. ; Adam, Loddington,
Mich. ; Rufus, Deex'wood, Man. ; Wm.
A., Listowel ; Geo. W., Ethel; Eli,
Rothwell, Man. ; Jonas, • WiIlow
Ranges, Man. ; enj., Manchester,
B. C. ; Edward S., 6th con„ Grey ; one
son dying in infancy, 2 daughters died
6 and 4 years ago -Mrs. Chas. Pratt,
Hamilton, and Mrs. D. Tyreman,
Ethel ; and living Mrs. N. McCauley,
Brussels, from whose residence the
funeral took place Thursday after-
noon. Rev. J. Henderson, deceased's
pastor and Rev. E. G. Powell conduct-
ed a
beautiful service both at the
house and grave. Pall bearers were
4 sons and a son-in-law and nephew,
(Adam, Wm., Wesley and Ed. Pol-
lard), N. Mebaulay and Charles Pol-
lard. Mr. Pollard's last few days on
earth were spent conversing about the
house not made with hands elerual in
the Heavens ancl a constant longing to
go home and be at rest. He was a
Methodist in religion and a true Con-
servative in politics and was of a very
cheerful disposition and his vacant
chair reminds us of his cbeetfiulness
gone from among those who loved him.
Those who attended his funeral from
a distance were Joe Hannon and
sister, Miss l4Iary, Mitchell ; Mrs. J.
Warman and son, Wm., Clinton ; A.
and Mrs. Pollard and children, of
Luddiugton, Mich. ; W. and Mrs. Pol-
lard and children, Listowel ; Geo, and
Mrs. Pollard and children, Ethel, and
E. J. and Mrs. Pollard, Ethel. It was
impossible for the other 5 sons to ar-
rive in time for the funeral. Mr. and
Mrs. Pollard were married 50 years
last December.
