man", who celebrated his xo6th birth-
day on March rx, died at the home of
his son, James Barnby, lot 2, con. 12,
Ashfield, at 7 o'clock Friday evening.
Until recently, despite his great age,
Mr. Barnby continued active and was
able to be about the house. His mind
was bright and he took great interest
in what was taking place.
Years had dimmed his eyes and his
hearing, although with the use of ear
phones he could still listen in on and
enjoy the radio. He was fond of mus-
ic andin his younger days he had a

a powerful voice and even re-

his voice held much of its resonance
and beauty. He loved to sing the old
hymns and psalms, which, for scores

He was born on Marche xx, 1822, at
Beeford, Yorkshire, England, about 18

employed as 'a farm hand., It was
while at Woodstock that he married
Miss Elizabeth Johnston, who h'as
been buried hi the church at Zion

It was about nine or ten years af-

he carne to the township of Ashfield
and like many others, took . up land
