teemed resident hasgone..
Early Saturday tnorning a well known
and most worthy citizen was called
away from the earthly home in the per-
son of Postmaster D. B. McKinnon. —
His demise was not unexpected, as be
bad been in tailing health for some
months from dropsy and heart weakness,
yet the newsof his decease came with
no small regret to the num y who knew
him so many years. Mr. McKinnon
was born 1816 in the Co. of Halton and
at an early age entered mercantile life in
Milton and later in Brampton. In 1561
he moved to Blyth where he has since
resided. For many rears he was in
commercial /ifs but retired a few years
ago, continuing the office of Post-
master, an appointment he received in
1874. The deceased was active in every-
thing pertaining to the welfare of this
community and was known all over the
county. He was a member of the first
Cot nci1 of this municipality,alitv. associated.
with
the late P. Kelly as R
l Reeve, Dr.
Wm. Sloan, James Wilson and Thos.
Nicholson as Councillors, and worked
energetically tor the building of the
London, Huron and Bruce Railway as
well as anything else for the best interest
of Blyth. In 1867 lie rnalried Miss
May F, Atkinson, of the township of
Bentick, county et Bruce, wbo passed
away to her reward in 1901. Mr. (Mc-
Kinnon leaves one son, J. S. McKinnon,
of Toronto, and one daughter, Mrs.
(Dr.) ivlilne, who resides here, Two
brothers and ot,e sister also survive,
being S. F. McKinnon, of 'Toronto ; M.
F. McKinnon, of Saskatchewan, and
Mrs, Jas. Mullett, of Lseknow. The
subject of this notice way a staunch
Presbyterian end it is soon what peculiar
co -incidence that he served continuous-
ly on the i3oard nl' Management
throughout the pastorate of 12ev.

retired from active work simultaneonsiy,
with D:•. McLean, a few years ego.
Mr. McKinnou was a prumnmeed Liber-
al in politics. The funeral took place;
from the family home Tuesday is Eternoo

aonic Order of which deceased was a
member for many Yeats.
Rev. J. L. Small, B. A Mr, Mc
Kinnon s pastor, delivered a very ap-
propriate address at the home. of the de-
parted, dwelling on "'I'heVictory over
Death." He also called attention to
the fidelity of the deceased. The pall
bearers were Mo. Emigh, Jas. Tamil•
ton las. Tierney, John Scandeett, John
Lash= and A. McKellar. Dr. Hamil-
ton and 1.) Watson, of Belgrave, con-
ducted the Masonic service at the grave.
Few of those who were residents of this
locality when Mr. McKinnon came to
Blyth remain to tell the story of the,
pioueer days. The near, of D. B. Mos
Killeen wilt live long in the memory of
the people who will be a unit• in extend-
ing sympathy to the son and daughter

ed father. Deceased was kindly in his
