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.

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.
