PASSIInG OF J 1 COURTICE
Still another of Clinton's highly
respected citizens has .answered tha
final =Mimes in the Person of John
Lane Courtice, nrho orij Saturday.
morning lase , passed away after an
illness 'of only a few nsteeks. He was
in his eighty -fleet year, but up to the
Past few months he seeniedi to be , in
the very best of health and looked
and felt like a man Much younger.
Those who -were observing him, how-
ever, were aware that during the
wintee he, was failing slewly, but ie
was not until within the past month
that he was confined to bed or that
Isis illness took on a serious turn.
His ,death was not so nitieh the re-
sult of disease as the final breaker:te.
up of his system. •
The late Mr. Courtiee is a native
born Canadian, first seeing , the light
of day in Darlington in 1832. In
1841 the family moved to Pickering
township where the subjeet of this
sketch grew to mantood and follow -
d the pursuit of agriculture- until
1868,1 when he came to Goderiels
township, settling upon the Cut Line,
ear Porter's Hill, where he also en -
aged in farming. In te80. Mr.
manioc left the farm and Moved in-
to Holmesville where he was engag-
ed in the merchantile line until 1892,
when he came to reside in (Hinton.
Mr. Courtice always maintained his
interest in agriculture and was con-
idered one of the most successful
armers in Goderieli township during
iis residence there. From boyhood,
loo, 'he took a keen interest in
toughing, taking part in bis first
ompetition in Pickering in 1857,
vhen ai mere Ind, winning first prize
n his class. For many years after
his he annually took part in the
louglsinn competitions, winning many
nluable prizes in different , parts of
he country, -the most important be -
ng that won in London in 1864
which was valued at $250 and carried
ith it the championship of Caneda.
Mr, Courtice was a member of the
linton Lawn Bowling Club, by • the
lembers of which he was held in
igh esteem, ancl was a most enthus-
sine bowler. He was considered
m of the boat "leads' in the Club
ist frequently played with Clinton
nks taking part in tournaments in
utside towns. For several years
st he has taken charge of the
wn, keeping it in such first class
ape that on the visit of the Eng-
sh bowlers a cosiple of summers ago
Lie Clinton Club was warmly corn-
imented on it. Engagement in this
althful outdoor exercise no doubt
4. much to do with keeping Mr.
ureic° is such good health and Im
as looking forward to the coming
mmer wben he could again get out
to the open and once more engage
his favorite pastime. It was
lied otherwise, however.
Mr. Courtice is survived by his
fe and one son, Mr. En G. Cour-
ce town. One brother and two
stars also survive : Mr.. A. J. Cour-
Col Holmesville; Mrs. C. 13rnylay
Orillia and Mrs. W. R. Miller, for-
erly of 1 oronto but now of Ed-
onton, Alta.
In religion he was a lite -long Meth-
ist and at the time of his death
s an official member of the Ontar-
street church, In polities he was
staunch Liberal,
The funeral, which took place en
nday afternoon, was very largely

PASSIInG OF J 1 COURTICE
Still another of Clinton's highly
respected citizens has .answered tha
final =Mimes in the Person of John
Lane Courtice, nrho orij Saturday.
morning lase , passed away after an
illness 'of only a few nsteeks. He was
in his eighty -fleet year, but up to the
Past few months he seeniedi to be , in
the very best of health and looked
and felt like a man Much younger.
Those who -were observing him, how-
ever, were aware that during the
wintee he, was failing slewly, but ie
was not until within the past month
that he was confined to bed or that
Isis illness took on a serious turn.
His ,death was not so nitieh the re-
sult of disease as the final breaker:te.
up of his system. •
The late Mr. Courtiee is a native
born Canadian, first seeing , the light
of day in Darlington in 1832. In
1841 the family moved to Pickering
township where the subjeet of this
sketch grew to mantood and follow -
d the pursuit of agriculture- until
1868,1 when he came to Goderiels
township, settling upon the Cut Line,
ear Porter's Hill, where he also en -
aged in farming. In te80. Mr.
manioc left the farm and Moved in-
to Holmesville where he was engag-
ed in the merchantile line until 1892,
when he came to reside in (Hinton.
Mr. Courtice always maintained his
interest in agriculture and was con-
idered one of the most successful
armers in Goderieli township during
iis residence there. From boyhood,
loo, 'he took a keen interest in
toughing, taking part in bis first
ompetition in Pickering in 1857,
vhen ai mere Ind, winning first prize
n his class. For many years after
his he annually took part in the
louglsinn competitions, winning many
nluable prizes in different , parts of
he country, -the most important be -
ng that won in London in 1864
which was valued at $250 and carried
ith it the championship of Caneda.
Mr, Courtice was a member of the
linton Lawn Bowling Club, by • the
lembers of which he was held in
igh esteem, ancl was a most enthus-
sine bowler. He was considered
m of the boat "leads' in the Club
ist frequently played with Clinton
nks taking part in tournaments in
utside towns. For several years
st he has taken charge of the
wn, keeping it in such first class
ape that on the visit of the Eng-
sh bowlers a cosiple of summers ago
Lie Clinton Club was warmly corn-
imented on it. Engagement in this
althful outdoor exercise no doubt
4. much to do with keeping Mr.
ureic° is such good health and Im
as looking forward to the coming
mmer wben he could again get out
to the open and once more engage
his favorite pastime. It was
lied otherwise, however.
Mr. Courtice is survived by his
fe and one son, Mr. En G. Cour-
ce town. One brother and two
stars also survive : Mr.. A. J. Cour-
Col Holmesville; Mrs. C. 13rnylay
Orillia and Mrs. W. R. Miller, for-
erly of 1 oronto but now of Ed-
onton, Alta.
In religion he was a lite -long Meth-
ist and at the time of his death
s an official member of the Ontar-
street church, In polities he was
staunch Liberal,
The funeral, which took place en
nday afternoon, was very largely
tended, many old friends thus
owing the last tribute of respeet
one whom they had known and
emed in life, The Bowling Club
tended in a body, marchibg behind '

eted by the deceased's pastor, the

that one could hardly recognize it.

midnight, but as most of the guests
were in fanny dress, there Ives no
dearth of dancers.
