One of Hullett's best known citi-'
zeas passed away on Monday, De- ,
cember 7th, when James Snell, of
Hayenbarton Farm, live stock

few months' illness. Mr, Snell- was
born on the farm on which he died,

The farm is said to be the only one
in Hullett remaining in possession
of the family by which it was first
taken up, Mr. Snell's father was a
breeder and at the early age of nine
years he accompanied his father to
the fairs' where he was exhibiting
stick. When he grew to manhood
be continued it and his stock,
especially, his; sheep, have an inter-
national reputation,. For years he
attended the great live stock shows
at Guelph, Toronto, Chic,.go, and
Toronto and. London exhibitions.
London was the last fair he was
able toattend h'
t tisY ear and never
did his stock do better than during
the season just past. His sons are.
the third generatio.i of stockmen.
The Snells have done very 'much to'.
make Huron county known as a'
stock raising county. Mr. Snell
served on the council of his 'native
township for several years, also as
Reeve, and for a time as County
Commissioner. He was a member
of the Canadian Order of Foresters
and of the Workmen of the World.
He was a very genial, sociable man
and made 'fiends wherever he went
by his off -hand, kindly manner. He
is survived by his wife, who was,
formerly Miss. Jane Elcoat, of Tuck-
ersmith, four sons, William of Lon-
don, Howard of Tuckersmith,
Humphrey of Hullett, and Ephriam
on the home .farm, and one daughter -
Mary, a graduate nurse, who has
beefy with her father since -f August
lobrother,h ei ,l
last. One W lliam, also re-
sides on the home farm. - The funeral
took place the following Thursday
afternoon from Hayenbarton Farm,
the 'services being conducted by
Rev. B. Snell of Londesboro United
`church, with which the family have
