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- ley -Willis church on Monday after- noon, being attended by ninny ef Inc old friends and associates of many ,years. The services, were conducted by the Rev. A. A.
