blyn, an OIL& nasi highly respect-
ed resident of the 131h. Con„ of
'Hallett, Was walking, de the street,
in Llyth,,'he was suddenly strick-
en mid( fell to the sidewalk, Ten-
derly he was. carried into the
• Cliei1•ew furniture store, a Dr.
called and iris wife sent for. When
Mrs. Tamblyn arrived, by motor,
her husband recognized; her, drew
her. toward him but was unable to
speak. Arrangements were rat
once made for his removal to his
home ;batt he passed quietly away -
to his reward in the Better Home
while on the 231 mile journey to
the earthly possessions.
Deceased was in his 60th year
and had lived in Hallett for pro-
bably 40 years, His birthplace was
in Cobourg locality. Mr. Tam-
blyn was a, good farmer, ,owning
a fine property consisting! of 200
acres. 'His wife was Miss Josie
Hiles, also of Hullett, 'who 'with
two sons, Pte. Will., 'who went
overseas from Kingston ea amen-.
ber of the ;medical corps, . and
drank, who; taught for a, time, but
is now at home, will 'be largo
;sharers in the sympathy of the
community in their sudden and un-
expected bereavement.
The subject of this notice was an
official member of the Methodist
church at Londesboro; a Liberal
in politics; and had served ns
Councillor in the Township Coun-
cil. He is survived by 3 brothers,
one 'in Toronto and 2 in the West
and asister who is married to J
Snell. The funeral - took place
Tuesday afternoon to the Union
Cemetery and was largely at-
tended showing the esteem in
which deceased was held. Rev.

The New Era Was favored with a calf
on Friday afternoon of last heel from
Mr, Joseph Leighton of f3ay City Mich-
igan, who had arrived the night before
and paid a short visit into iIullett town
ship.
In •speaking to the New Era Mr. Leigh-
ton stated that it is 50 years since he
icft the old home scenes, His parents
had resided near Meh'ille's 11•Iills in 1•Iul'
let township, about 2 utiles from the now
village of Londesboro and after the death
of his father,his mother had kept store
and the Post office at what was known as
Bandon Postoffice. A few years later
the mother with the family of small
children moved over to Bay City.
In the years that have passed the
family has prospered 'and today our visi-
tor is at the head of a wholesale fruit
and vegetable business. Two other bro.
Ii r
theta, one a doctor lives in the Northern
partof•Michigan and a sister hi Cali-
fornia. Mr.Leighton has often wished
to conte back and visit the old sights of
his early childhood. but never seemed
able to elo so until last week.
Early Friday morning he hired an auto
and went out to Londesboro where he,
was directed to Mr. John Lashbrook,who
recalled his people and directed him to
his old home farm.
The old house had been torn down but
Mr. Leigh -ton walked over the ground,
h river it
Went down to the r v0 and sfterwards
called on Mrs, Gavin Hamilton, who re-,
membered his mother and family and
recallen old times and friends that they
had known over 50 years ago,
Mr. Leighton left Friday afternoon
again for his home in that busyMichigan
city, refreshed and satisfied at having
that longing in his heart gratified 'at,
being able 10 come back to his early boy
hood surroundings.
hi speaking to .the New Era he staled
thatthey still had good l3ritish blood in
their veins overthereand were proud of
the way that Canada had answored the
call of the Motherland.. The Now lava
found that Mr. Leighton's visit, was far
too short and 11,0 11010 that he will be
