years and seven months.
The late Mr. Emmerton was born
at' Acton, Middlesex, England, but
came to this country in 1849. The
family first settled on a farm near
Kincardine, which is still in the
hands of a brother, but the subject
of this sketch later moved to God-
erich, where the lived for a great
number of years. For the past fif-
teen years be has been a resident of
Clinton, wherehe had won •the es-
teem of all with whom he came in
contact.

the Old Country Mr. Emmerton nev-
er forgot the land of his birth, He
-cherished fond recollections of his
early hone and had in his posses-
sion several heirlooms which had
been handed clown tram father to son
for several hundred years. A few
years ago be visited England and
saw many 'of his relatives who still
reside there.
Ile. Emmerton was a leery kindly,
friendly and sociable man. He had
many friends here who thought
]highly of him and with whom lie
delighted to have a chat as long as
his physical health permitted him
to get about. In religion he was a
Methodist, being a member of Wes-
ley church, end in politics a .Con-
servative. lie was a Fenian Raid
veteran, having belonged to the Ar-
tillery Corps at Goderich during the
mid in 1850.

daughters, Mrs. llarry •i ohnston,
Fort; William, and ivrrs. James II,
13e11, Oelwine, Iowa. One brother re-
sides at Kincardine but was too 11

Captain, the Rev, • J. K. 'Fairfull,
who went to England last fall as
ehaplain of :the 101st battalion, re-
turned home Saturda3t night. Capt.
Fairfull was anxious to remain with
"the boys" as 110. affectionately calls
them, as long as he could • but of
course it has been known for some
time that the chaplains could not
accompany their battalions to
France. Indeed, since going to Eng-
land Capt. Fairfull has been brigade
ehaplain and received his orders' from'
London.
Opt. Fairfull speaks in the 11511 -
est terms of the Hurons. "They're
the cleanest, finest bunch .of bays
live ever had anything to do with,"
ho said, "and many who 1 left
home unthinking, ir-
responsible bops b a v e de-
veloped into splendid men. They are
a credit to the county which pro-
duced them,"
Capt. J"airfull saw quite a : good
many interesting sights while away.
He visited Old London and also in
Scotland, his home land. He des-
cribes the darkness of London streets
as being very confusing. "When you
enter a Canadian city, with the elec-
tric lights blazing, theatres open and
people going about 011 pleasure bent
everywhere its Il'ao getting into lu new
world," he said.
According to Capt. Fairfull the
p'eopie in the old lend are taking
the war seriously and are helping in
every way possible to strengthen the
hands of the leaders in winning the
tear.
The Women's institute meets- next
Thursday afternoon at the ]tome of
Mrs. Fairfall. Good program and
tea will he served. A collection will
be taken to raise money for yarn
