and esteemed. resident of Clinton.

ninety-sixth year„ His father was
the late Samuel Fitzsimons and his
mother Elizabeth Beacom. They -tame
up to Huron Cqunty in 1847 settling
on the farm now owned by Mr. How.
and Trewartha, where he grew to
early manhood. He came into C'lin•,
ton to work in Fair's mill when a lad
and at the age of eighteen went into
the butchering business for himself.
He continued in .business in .Clinton
until his retirement a few years ago,
with the exception of a couple of
years which Ile spent in Winnipeg
during the boom. about forty years
ago when he sold out here, took.a car
of dressed :meats and went out and
set up in the Western City. He only
remained about two years, returning
to Clinton in the spring of 1892 and
going into business again. Mr. Fitz-

suffered recurred and he was unable
to throw it off and the end came on
Sunday.,i

memory of early days and events in
and about: Clinton and it was very
interesting to hear him tell over
some of these stories. He first at-
tended school in a' building on the site
now occupied by Br, Paul's church,
and he could remember theearly tea-
cher' and ministers s who served when

attraction and won many admiring
comments.
The evening concert put on by
r Willie Bell and his famous entertain-
ers, had to be put en in the town hall
on account of the threatening weath
er and it was a, good show. 'the day
was wound up with a big dance.
While the eonnnittee was disap-
pointed in the attendance, especially
at the evening performance, the pro-
gram put on was a fine one and the
crowd present was well pleased with
