ber dealers, Bluevale, took place on
Wednesday morning, June 14th, after
a severe illness of many weeks, result-
ing from a stroke of paralysis. Al-
though suffering frons ill health for
the past two years, it was not until
this Spring that his condition became
critical. The funeral held on Friday
afternoon from the family residence,
was largely attended by friends,
relatives, business and other asso-
ciates of the deceased. The beau-
tiful funeral service was conducted by
Rev. Crawford Tate, pastor of Knox

son, of the Methodist church, The
hymns sung were chosen for special
associations, being the 23rd Psalm,

the night is falling." Pallbearers

ceased, A. McEwdt>, George McDon-
ald, F. B. Scott, Robb. Black, Jas.

rand Duff, who had not long previous-
ly settled in Canada. One of the most
vivid recollections of hie childhood
was the journey North in March, 1856,
when he was 5 years of age, to the
thick bush in the Township of Turn -
berry, where a clearing was made on
the 6111 Oon., which remained the
family home for many years. After
working at farm work for a time he
secured employment in a sawmill
which was run by John Gemmill, on
the 6th Con., and from that time saw-
milling became his occupation. In
1873 he married his now bereaved
wife, Miss Anne Jane Elliott, Wawa -
nosh, daughter of James Elliott, Co.
of Fermanagh, Ireland and after liv-
ing for a time at Monktou and Oar-
munuoek, sawmilling centres in Perth
Oct, same to Bluevale in 1875, where
its continued to be until his death.
After working in the employ of Bailey
& Thyeine, who owned the old saw
mill at the G, T. R. station in those
days, he formed a partnership with
the late 0. J. Reading to take over the
ownership of the business, which was
carried on by this firm for a number
of years. In 1889, he becatne associat-
ed with Thos. Stewart, Bluevale, un-
der the firm name of Duff Sc Stewart.
They bought the Leech sawmill on
the river bank and for 27 years a suc-
cessFll sawmilling and general lumber
business has been carried 00 to which
Nom time to time has been added coal,
cement and other lines. On two oc-
casions the sawmill was burned to the
ground but was both times rebuilt.
In 1904 the chopping mill and water
power was bought from the late Jos.
T,eenh and operated by the item until
last year when it was sold to Ohas.
Gatniss. Of his own family he was
the last survivor, his brother, the late
W. 0. Duff, of Crystal. City, Man„
having predeceased him in December

Nelson, died in infancy but three sons
and four daughters are left to mourn

pelled to increase the subscription

deuce of the community and his busi-

He was a man of public spirit, who
never grudged time and labor in try-
ing to advance the public welfare,
while his consideration for those in
misfortune and distress was known in
many homes. His name will long be
evergreen and may well be pointed to
as worthy of emulation. Mrs. Dull
and the sons and daughters are large
shares in the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends who esteemed the
many admirable qualities of head and
heart possessed by Mr. Duff.
