He grew to manhood and married in England, marrying at 'the age of. nineteen., ` Ile worked at various things, finally going up M London,' where he wonted for the railways for a time, later as conductor on a tram car. He acted as conductor on the first car ever run on London streets. He was fairly successful but he came to the conclusion that lie would never get much ahead -in England so deter - Mined to go to oneof the 'colonies. There was a call for a number of men to go to Tasmania and he thought he would apply fora place but was just too late. Latex`he was glad he had missed the chance as the skip with - these hien on board sank with all on board and all were drowned.: Re then decided to go to New Zealand and was getting his household goods in order to sail on a certain date when he had a call from the Setter of Bnx- tan,- who happened to be a brother ' of Messrs. Richard and John Ransford of Clinton, who on learning of his in- tention disuaded him from taking the long sea voyage to'New'Zealand and urged hips to come to Canada.So it was arranged, and this kindly rtes tor gave him. a letter of introduction to his., brothers in Clinton,' Rut a two - pound note in his hand -at parting and saw,him and his little fancily of four, 04dor Canada.

Mr. Ransford told, him he would give him :a job, the Salt Works were then running strong, but he ad-+ vised him to take a job harvesting for the summer as he would get high- er pay. Before he had time to look out for this sort of a job, however, he had an offer from Edward Carter, fa• ther of Mx. E. Carter of town, to help ham digging welts at S2 ex' day. This sounded :like Wealth to the English- man, used to the small' wages in. the OId Land, and he jumped ,at the offer. He worked with Mr, Carter two sea- sons and got on well. Then he took a position with Messrs. Searle and Davis, remaining with them two years, Having sayed a little money: he then decided to buy sonic land and have a home of his. own. He bought two acres on James street, over the tracks, and started market gardening. That as forty-six years ago and he just Sold it to Mr.. McCallum three 'years ago. He had to build on title, which he did as he was able, making improvements .froi time to time. Ile and Itis wife 'managed the garden, he working in. it *hen he had: no other^ work to do and evenings and.tnornn- Ings, his wife marketing _the stiff.

Mr. Dodd's ,daughter,' Mrs. )Ffattie Layton, was for several years an en- thusiastic and most efficient member of the ,Executive of the Hospital and Mx•. Dodd would wish that her neem- ory be coupled with the gift.
