er, Ridgetown. and Miss Belle, at
home. The end was so entirely un-
looked for that Miss Belle was visit
nig in Detroit at the time. There is

of a family of eight boys and four
girls, George, of Harrowtown, Penn;,.

Mr. Clendenning was born near
Wingham, but came to Harwich
Township about sixty years ago, and'
after living on the property for some
years bought the beautiful Soper res-
idence and 100 -acre farm. The price
paid atthat time was $10,000; a high
figure in those days, but it was an
historic and fertile property.
He retired from active faun life
twenty years ago, and Came to Blen-
heim, building a beautifttll Home' on
Talbot Street.
He had always been considered one
of the best citizens we, had, a kindly
friend and neighbour and' deeply lov-
ed by a great many people.. 3.e was

the days when pollees were taken
more seriortsly. than, they are today.

membership with the United Church
