OBITUARY
Mrs. Edward Bosman
To have been a pioneer, to have
had no small part in changing the
virgin forest land into the smiling
homesteads of the Canada pf to -day
and the greater Canada yet to' be; to
have held high ideals and striven as-
siduously to attain them; ' to have
identified oneself with every good and
noble cause in the community; to
have 'lived eighty-eight years and
kept the glint of humour, a broad and
iindly tolerance, and an unfaltering
faith in Gdd's eternal goodness and
justice, is an enviable privilege, not
given to many; but all of this may
be said and truly said of Mary. Steph-
enson, widow of the late Edward
Bosman, who passed to her eternal
reward August 7, 1929.
Mrs. Bosman was the daughter of
John Stephenson, .Clinton, who was
a. descendant of George Stephenson,
the great English inventor. In 1860,
with her husband she settled on lot
fifteen, concession two, of the town-
ship of Morris, Huron county, and
with indefatigable industry, turned
the wilderness farm into the lovely
homestead, now occupied by their
only surviving son,' Henry.
Mrs. Bosman helped ' to : found the
Browntown church, and at the Jub-
ilee celebration of that church in
September, 1926, she was the only
surviving member who had helped in
its erection in 1866.
In 1901, Mr. and Mrs. Bosman
moved to Wingham to their beauti-
ful residence at the south end of the
Diagonal Road, where they remained
until after Mr. Bosman's death, in
1912, : when Mrs. Bosman moved to
her late residence on 'Francis Street.
Mrs. Bosman became a member of
the Methodist church of Wingharn,
and was untiring in her attendance
and devotion to it. She was a mem-
ber of the Ladies' Aid, a Life mem-
ber of the Women's Missionary Soc-
iety." She was an Honorary mem-
'her of the Wingharn Branch of the
Women's Institute and also one in
,the Wornen's Christian Temperance
Union.
Mrs. Bosman is survived by. one
•son, Henry, and five daughters, Mrs.
Vincent, Coleman, Alberta; Mrs.:
Lake,' Brussels; Mrs. Maguire, Wing-
`harn; Mrs. Pepper, McGee, Sask.; and
Mrs. Leishman,; Liberty, Sask. Two
.sisters, two brothers, twenty-four
grand children and twenty-eight
:great -grand -children`• also' survive her.
Three grandsons, John and Charles
Bosnian, Morris; Bert Lake, Ethel
two nephews, Morris Bosnian, 'Blue -
vale; Walter Swinbank, Clinton; and
.a grand=son -in-law, Lisle Hopper, of
Belgrave, carried the flower laden
casket to its resting place in the
Wingham Cemetery.
The Rev. S. Davison, her pastor,
conducted the funeral service in the
United church. He paid tribute to
Mrs.' 'Bosnian's victorious life and
triumphant death, basing his sermon
on Psalm CXVI, verse XV—Precious
in the sight of the. Lord is the death
of His saints.—He urged alt present
to have faith in spite of the mystery,
underlying all Life and Death, and
quoted Tennyson's beautiful lines:
Flower in the • crannied wall,
I pluck youout of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my'
hand';.
Little flower—but if _ I could under-
stand
What you are, root ,and all, and all
in all,
I should know what God and pian is.
A. COUNTRYSIDE'SHOWS SYMPATHY
AND RESPECT AT IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL
Tragedy set a new record in the
community of Whitechurch, by visit-
ing for the second trine in a few
years the highly esteemed family of
Mr. and Mrs, Dan O'Callaghan. The
exemplary faith of those God-fearing
parents was sorely tried in the fall
of 1916, when their eldest son, John,
*as drowned in the "Merida" disaster
of;, that year.
On Saturday, July 27th, a complete
family reunion (ttie first in several
years), commenced on the old home--
stead,
ome-stead, on the boundary line between
East and West Wawanosh. The fol-
lowing morning a devout fmother Nand
a devoted father had the sublime
happiness of assisting at the Holy.
Sacrifice of the Mass with their en-
tire family, in the little parish church
at St. Augustine, where all had been
grounded in the rudiments of their
highly treasured Faith.
Monday, August 5th, this smiling
gathering was turned into one of'.
deepest mourning, when the oldest of,
the family and a younger sister, Piet
violent' deaths in an automobile ac-
cident. Margaret, a girl of twenty-
four, who had been employed with
General Motors Co, Detroit, lived
just long enough to receive the last
rites and consolations of the Church.
Mary, the beloved wife of Samuel
Jamieson, of the Post'Office Depart-
ment, Toronto, succumbed to her in-
juries about thirty hours later.
The double 'funeral' was held the
folowing Thursday, August 8th, and
was probably the largestand most
impresive that was ever witnessed in
the County of Huron. While the
caskets, containing the bodies of the
two young girls reposed before the
high altar of the Sacred Heart
Church, St. Augustine, Rt.; Rev. Mgr.
O'Connor, Vicar General of London
Diocese, and a cousin of the stricken
family, sang the Solemn Mass of they
dead, assisted by Rev. Fr, Dean of
Port Lambton as Deacon, and Rev.
Fr. Garvey, C. S. B. of Toronto; as
Sub. Deacon. Rev. Fr. Gibbons,. of
St. Peter's Cathedral, London, acted
as Master of ceremonies, while Frank
and Joe Sullivan (cousins of the de-
ceased) from Denver, Colorado, serv-
ed as acolytes.. The clergy assisting
in the sanctuary included Frs. J. M.
O'Reilly, of Leeds, • South Dakota; 5,
N. Campeau and T. McCarthy,; of
Goderich; W. T. Moran, of Ridge -
town; F. McCardle, , of Ashfield; L.
N. Dogorski; of Teeswater, and J.
Paquette, of St. Augustine. Rev. Fr.
Sullivan, a cousin of the ' deceased,
directed the chair, ,with Miss Elva
Kearney at the organ. Messrs. Wal-
ter and Raymond Dalton rendered
two appropriate and impressive duets:'
Speaking briefly before the final
blessing on what he termed St. Au
gustine's dark day, Mgr. O'Connor
conveyed a forceful message of ron-
dolence to the bereaved. "We of the
clergy," he said, "join with you of
the laity, representing every faith and
no faith, in sympathizing, in all that
the word implies, with a grief strick-
en mother and father, with heart bro-
ken brothers and sisters, and with a
bereaved and lonely husband." He
laid particular stress on the consol-
ing doctrine of the Church with* re-
gard to death and the future life,
quoting frequently from the beauti-
fully expressive service just complet-
ed.
Besides those above mentioned, the
imrnediafe recipients of universal
sympathy include the brothers, Will,
of Toronto, Joe, of Detroit, and Frank
at home; the sisters, Nell (Mrs. E.
V. Monahan, of Detroit), and Made-
lyn, Of Toronto.
WLNGHAM BAND
AT THE FRONTIngham .Band :took part in the
Tattoo at Hanover on Monday last,
playing first on the programme and
leading off ink the march past. The
local boys 'acquitted themselves in a
creditable manner, the crowd giving
them good applause. For an organi-
zation of 18 months, the Band pre-
sented a strong front and surprised
their friends in their playing. A
great deal of credit is due Mr, Hing-
ston, the veteran leader for his pat-
ience as leader of an organization,
largely composed of new members;
and also to the older players for their
loyalty. 'The Council has recognized
the importance of a .Band to a .live
community in a yearly grant, but this
does not adequately meet all the
needs of the case. Playing engage-
ments generally mean a sacrifice on
the part of the players, so that a more
sympathetic concern is dee the boys.
One thing they need is a respectable
uniform. The,ones in use are ,intsty
with age, out-of-date, and are not
likely to encourage or entice the
players on public occasions. A snap-
py, modern uniform, one that will
please' the. younger members of the
band, would . be a profitable invest-
ment, : for rest assured' the youth of
today likes a good front, and to be
smartly dressed. The cost is not pro-
hibitive, and a part of it might easily
be raised by some public function or
entertainment.
PROOF OF AGE ":NECESSARY
Applications for Olkl Age Pcnsiotzs.
are coming in very rapidly to Huron
.,County Board, whose work is being
made mare''adifficult, by the neglect
of many to enclose proof of age.
This is essential information to the
Board in determining applications,
.and without it no attetition can be
given. It is therefore 'necessary for
all who have not submitted proof of
age with their applications to do so,,.
and this must be supplied by all fut-
.ure applicants, Attention is directed
to question number '6, lin application
forms.

BROUGHT HOME THE000D'S
A veteran rink of Winghambowl-
ers, Jack Mason, Oliver Thompson,
W. A. Miller and A. H. Coombs, at-
tended the Paris tournament on
Thursday, which is considered the top
nocher in Southern Ontario, attended

as good as most• of them, and better
than a lot, winning sixth prize, four
very handsome blankets.
They won their games from St.
Catharines, London and Siincoe with
a total score of 3 wins, plus 34. The'.
only game they lost was to the win•
hers of the Tournament, F. Wilson's

OLD BOYS' REUNIONS
ARE SUCCESSFUL

Old Boys' Reunions on the first four
days of last week, which are termed
unqualified successes in every way.
Considerably over one thousand for-
mer residents of each place returned
for the celebration, many coming a-
cross the continent to renew the ac-
quaintanceships of their youth, and
once more associate with the places
and scenes of their school days. Then.
the countryside for miles around was
well represented at the daily pro-
grammes provided for entertainment,
and they were on the whole good.
At Teeswater possibly 25,000 people
were present during the celebration.
The various committees worked long
and faithfully toward a common end,
and sucess crowned their. efforts.
Not the least important 'incident
connected with the Teeswater cele-
brationcentred around the unveiling
of the monument to the fallen heroes
in the Great War. This honor came
to Mr. W. R Colvin, whose son,
George, was the first community boy
to make the sacrifice.
"Whosoever Giveth His Life For
My Sake Shall Find It," is the in-
scription at the top and " following
this is the wording "World War,

O'Malley car, very close to the place
of the accident. It :just seemed as
if a cloud of dust hurled in fr..nt of
them, and in looking up saw the tele-
phone wires shaking, giving a hint
of disaster. They' were first on the
scene. They . saw no car going in
opposite direction.
Dr. McCallum and Officer Warner
who were summoned gave technical
evidence as to what they saw on ar-
rival at the spot.
Jack O'Malley, the unfortunate
driver of the Hudson coupe, showed
plainly on his haggard face, the or-
deal he has suffered, and of the men-
tal anguish endured, He claimed the
protection of the court and felt he
should not be compelled to give evi-
dence that might be used against him.
This was only a "coroner's inquest,
and not a court of trial He main-
tained that he turned out to pass an
on -coming car, that he was driving
at a safe rate,and that he was quite
competent to handle : the machine.
He had drunk some beer at his home
between one and two o'clock in the
afternoon. They had gone to For-
mosa in the afternoon, and got a
Case of beer .whichwas unopened.
After the coroner summed up the
evidence the jury retired and brought
in the following verdict:—"We, the
jury, find that Margaret O'Callaghan
and Mary Jamieson carne to their
death on August 5th, 1929, by being
thrown from a car driven by John
O'Malley, when he lost control of the
car, due to excessive speed.
Mr, O'Malley' will thus have to face
a court trial, and in the meantime is
Out on bail.

a lot. There is some insurance in
West Wawanoslt• Company, but not
enough to cover his loss, which is

DEFECTIVE BRAKES MAKE
�., CAR TURN TURTLE
Sterling Haskins,. a young man .of
Belnore district, while drawing wheat
from Belmore to Mildmay in a truck,
had a narrow escape on Friday af-
ternoon. When descending the steep
grade near Ni f erville, the brakes of
the truck failed to hold as he ap-
proached a sharp turn, and the out-
fit went over into the ditch, rolling
over several times. Haskins got him-
self off with only a few severe bruises
and scratches; but the truck was abd-
ly wrecked. The wheels were smash-
ed, the frame badly befit and the body
broken, asweli as a considerable con-
siderable amount of grain being spill-
ed. Y.
It is . hoped that this will hasten
the improvements to be made on this
road, which has become a real trap
with the increase of traffic.
