George 'Davies, an old and highly
esteemed citizen of Clinton, passed

Saturday evening after about a
weeks illness.
Mr. Davies was in his eighty-eighth
year but ,until less than a year ago
he was ad active as many a man of
halt his age, attending to his work
of dairy farming every day, Last
Whiter he had a severe illness and
since that had not taken up all his
olll duties but he was well and able
to get about `quite happily until he
contracted a cold about a week prior
to his death, from which he failed
to rally, his heart giving out on •Sat-.
urday.
Mr. Davies- was born at Worcester,

Canada with his parents at the age
of four. They landed in Goderich in
1847 and -he had resided hereabouts
ever since.. He had been a resident'
of Clinton for many years.
Mr. Davies was a man of very
quiet and unassuming. disposition, He
was best known by his own intimate
circle of friends and by them he was
held in high regard. Ile was of so
gentle and kindly a nature that little
children all loved him and he often
had them about him as he went about
his work, He . was devoted to his
family and his home and he was de-
votedly loved by his children, who
cared .for him with great thought-
fulness and tenderness during his de-
clining years. His wife died three
years ago. this month.
Of his eight children five survive:
Mr's. Hairy Marshy Detroit; Miss
Margaret, : a Deaconess in Chicago,
and Newton, .Mae and Bessie at
home. One sister, .Mrs. Annie Mof-
fatt ,of
VIoffatt.of Los Angeles, Cal., also sur-
vives: Mrs. Moffatt visited her son
and brother here all summer, ' only
returning south a few weeks >age.
Mr., Davies was a member of Wes-
ley -Willis • United chinch, formerly
of Wesley' Methodist, and while
health permitted he was very regular
in his attendance. Of late when he
was unabla to attend' services he tools
much pleasure in listening to church
services over the regio and the last
Sunday of his life he listened to. two..
