short time ago. For many years he
was in partnership with the late John
Watt, in the planing mill, sash and
door factory, (now the Farmer's Co.)
The family came to Wingham in the
early so's, composed of Mrs. Kerr a

James Hearn, a resident of Wingham
in the early days. Some incidents

McCance. One night when everybody
was supposed to be enjoying their

as he could cram intb his trunk, lock-
ed it and sent it out through the
window. He next seen that Mrs.
Heayn and the children were safe.
He then helped to save what was pos
sible from the flames. It was a hea-
vy blow to Mr, Heayn the work of
many years had vanished in smoke.
