Elsie itleyberry, Toronto, that her brother, Sergt. \V iii., had succumbed to his in. melee received on October 28th, pass- ing away in Abbeville hospital, Prance, Saturday, December 1st. His wounds were of a very serious charac- ter, being shot in the leg and arm and apiece of shrapnel entered his body below the ribs and, was removedat the bnspital near the shoulder. The Ulla plait! wrote that although wounds were dangerous the patient was full of hope and good cheer and expected to soon reach Blighty. Lt a letter writ- ten on Nov, loth, by the patient he described the nature of his wounds, it ;red the friends nut to worry and hoped soon to get to England and then to Canada. Sergt. Mayberry was born in Eng - lewd in May 1802, and came to ()amide with his sister, hiss Elsie, 15 years ago, their parents haying cried. After living in Lambton Oo. and in the West he carne to Brussels 4 years ago and was employed by Herb. Manning, Morris township and afterward de- ceased worked in the Ament factory, Brussels. He enlisted with the 71st Battalion, November 1015, trained at Galt, going overseas in March 1010 and to France in Augustof same year, transferring to a trench mortar squad. In January last he suffered slight wounds bat was soon able to report for duty. 3 other brothers are in uniform in France and England—Geo. the youngest brother, is in a munition plant in Toronto and a sister is simil- arly employed in England, so the Mayberry family is surely doing their "bit." Sergt. Mayberry was full of life and always busy, his death is very deeply ree,retted and sympathy ex- tended to the relatives. Last Sabbath evening a memorial service was held in Brussels Methodist church, where deceased worshipped and was a member of the Sabbatb School. Pulpit and altar chairs were neatly draped in white with flags and a photo of deceased. After kindly references to the brave boy who gave up his life for the Empire, Rev. Mr, Stafford based Itis suitable address on Acte 20 and 21, "Bat I hold not my life ,tt� account tut me dear unto my- self."
