The following from the Arthur En-
terprise -News of Aug. 3, refers to the
death of the late Leonard Schmidt
whose wife is a sister of Mr, Joseph
Roach and Mrs. Jas. Cronin, of St.
Columban, and Mrs. Jos. Flanagan,
Dublin:
Leonard Joseph Schmidt, Reeve of
Arthur Township since January, 1938,
succumbed suddenly on Monday even
ing in the Louise Marshall Hospital,
Bit. Forest. Mr. Schmidt had under-
gone a critical stomach operation in
the hospital on Friday last and it was
thought that his condition was €m -
proving. The news of his sudden de-
f xs.• therefore. came ns a great
sh' k to hie family and friends and to
lite section of the county where he
was well and favorably known.
L hard .f Schmidt was horn in Ar

ton Battalion, Ile later transferred to
the naval service. Returning to civil-
ian life he settled down to the veca-
tion of farining, in which he achieved
a gratifying degree of success. His
:ire -acre farm is one of the finest in
Arthur Township. He possessed a de-
cided aptitude for public life. Ile serv-
ed on the municipal council of
Arthur
Township and in January of 1938 was
elected reeve, being re-elected by ac-
clamation in 1939. The extent to
which his ability was recognized at
the Wellington County Council was
illustrated by the fact that he failed
to gain election to the County Roads
Committee by only one vote in Jan-
uary last, a very nnusual achievement
for a man with only one year of ser-
vice to his credit. During the past
year he was mentioned More than;
once as a prospective candidate for
parliamentary honors, Certainly it
.seems that byhis passing apromis-

kindly, genial personality and his re -
mention for honesty and square deal-
ing was never questioned. He was.

discharged the duties of his public
offices in an efficient and impartial
manner. His death occasioned general
regret throughout this section of
