PASSING OF W. S,.IIARLAN'D,
On 'Saturday cnierning' last : one of
Gunton'•; oldest and, most highly es-
teemed citizens crossed the Great Di-
vide int : the person of William' Smith
Harland, the last member of a ,fan
•ily which had been connected with the
•business and social ilfe of Clinton for
over seveiltY': years• ..
The Late . W. S. Harland, was born
in Hamilton, idlers his family resided
`fol: a short time, but they came up
from Chingachousy ,seventy-two years
ago, when Clinton was known as
".Rattenbury's Garners,." There was
no railway then, the journey was
made by horse, team. There was a
large family, with the father and
mother, and here they made their
home and their:children grew to man-
hood and womanhood. The subject of
this sketch, who was the +eldest of. the
family, was `T 'lad 'of • fourteee when
the family came to Clinton. On grow
lug to young manhood he apprenticed
himself,:. or his father did it, probably,
gas was the case in those days, to the
late Frederick Runnball, carriage
maker, and he learned the trade and
wonted at it fora number of ,years.
He was 'probably the last of a large
band of young men who put in an ap-
prenticeship with Mr. Runnball;' Dur-
ing the American war he went to the
United States and remained for a
short time but coming over to Can-
ada to celebrate the confederation of
the Canadian Provinces in 1867, -he
and his brother,, the late John T, Har-
land, decided to go into business here.
They formed a partnership andstar't-
ed a timsm.ithing and hardware^Wet-
ness, a partnership ayhieh,:,eoxitinned
until 1911, when W. S. withdrew from
active participation, -Although the
business was carried on under the old
firm name of •Harland Bros., until af-
ter the death of Mr. J. T. Harland in
May of 1922. •It is not an uncommon
thing still. to 'hear people speak of
going to "Harland's" for something
in the hardware line,
The late Mr. Harland, since his re-
tirement from• business, has continued
to reside in Clinton and, es long as
he was able to clo so he clime down
town daily and was always"delighted
to meet and talk with old friends. He
bad a most retentive memory and
could :recall vividly happenings of
the early days in :Clinton and concern-
ing the people who then -made up its
citizenhsip. He saw the town grow
from a cross roads to its present size,
took an active part in it( public life
and .knew intimately almost everyone,,
who contributed in any way to its
growth or prosperity during over half
a century of its life.
•
Mr.. Harland . was • i}.;most lovable
man. He was upright and courteous
in all ,his dealings, gentle and kindly
in disposition, with a quiet sense' of
humour and a kindly toIerange for
the weaknesses of humanity, Which
won him the respeet and liking' of all
with whom he cane• 5n contact.' Al-
though he had .lived,a long life and
for some years hadbeen compelled
to keep aloof from the busy world,
there was.genera'l regret felt at word.
of his passing, regret that never
again should be seen the gentle whine-
sisal smile with which he greeted his
friends, hear again the cheery word " -
of greeting. Mr. Harland -wee.a
Methodd4, until his church went into
union, being a nteinber of Wesley, and
before that Uf the old Rat$enbury
street cosegregation. lie was for
years a member of the official board,
but for some time he had been unable,
owing to failing health, to at-
tend its services, . He was . the last
anembesnef his.,. own family` and -the
last of l
one of the :aid- band. of; men who
for many .years carried en -the busi-
ness life of the town. He is survived.
by' an adopted daughter, Miss Mabel,
Mrs. Harland having passed away
twelve years ago, :and by the follow-
ing -nephews and nieces:. W y, Har-
land ,of Guelph,; A, T. Harland, Mrs.
Kenyon, Mrs. Page, Mrs. Grant and
Miss Ida Harland of Detroit, Leon-
ard J. H.'arland and Misses Marion
and Amelia Harland of Toronto.
The funeral took place from Wes-
