His numerous friends extend to him hearty congratulations and the sincere wish that huffs m of still continue to enjoy his long and useful life. Mr. Ruddell claims as the land of his birth, the Emerald Isle—that land that has sent forth so many of her sons who have done so well and left their imprint in all portions of the world, Born in the County of Armaugh on the 29th of January, 1826, where he lived until nineteen years of age when he came to Canada, his destination being Toronto, where he remained for 'a short time ; leaving there and go- ing to Halton County where he fol- lowed the avocation of a mill-wright, and where he was married in 1851 to Miss Christina Stewart. In the year 1863 he came to Hul- lett township where he located on lot twenty-one on the tenth conces- sion us he route ears , e P which, some } had been granted by the Canada Company. The lot was in its Prim- eval state and here he and his good wife commenced to carve out a home for themselves and family, and after undergoing the manp trials of pioneer life, he still lives to enjoy the fruits of his early labor. The subject of this sketch is a man of sterling qualities, honored and es- teemed by a large circle of friends in the township in which he has resid- ed the realer par of energetic turn and in his younger days exhibited that indomitable spir- it that ultimately brought success to his various undertakings. To him belongs the honor of re- taining a seat ab the Trustee Board 1 of school section No. four for over twenty years, and altho'.lgh often Pressed, never would permit himself to partake of municipal honors. Al- ways a staunch Conservative in pol- itics, he takes a keen. interest in the doings of that party, and even in his advanced years is conversant with the leading ;epics of the day. Nineteen years ago last September he was bereft of his life partner, to whom was born a fancily of six, two now deceased, the others meeting with success in their various call- ings. The family consisted of, two girls and four boys, namely c Mrs. Rich- ard" Br,unsdon, now residing at Hart- ney, Manitoba ; Jessie (Mrs. Lennox) who died at Walton in 1877 ; George of Morden, Manitoba ; Idarry of Mor- den, Manitoba, 1 (who died about eight years ago) to whom fell the honor of representing Morden con- stituency in the Manitoba .
