Patrick Lynett, said to have, been one of the oldest men in Ontario., 'died at five o'elOck on Wednesday, January 24th,, in his xosth yaar, at the ,rest- dence of hie son-in-law, Joseph Wil- son. Although death was due to old age, the deceased' retained his faculties up emit alneest the end. d . The egaman was always a keen student of currept events and followed world news closely. He was never in- clined to the opinion of many persons that the world was getting worse, but contended that it was getting better. 1 -le cited as support of this the recent disarmament conference and the spreading prohibition legislation. • Mr. Lynda was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1817, and laved through many stirring' atruggres, al- . though he did not actively parappate in any, of these. He rernem,bered the Crimean struggle arid was liming 'ill America during the American Civil War, the Spanish American War, the Fenian Raids and the l3oer War. The deceased came:to Canada at 8 years of age on a sailing vessel. Dur- ing the long trip there was a terrible fever epidemic on board:and 4o bodies were' dropped overboard during the . voyage. parents resided for a short time at Pickering and then mov- ad to Belmore • in what was then' known- as the . Huron Tract. Three farms were cleared by the family. He could recall walking through the for- ests to 'Walkerton, a 'distance of 25 miles, with a sack of wheat on his tailak ,to be ground at the mill. In 184o'he married Mies McCue. His wife pre -deceased him by 38 years. • The late Mr. Lyriett was the fath-, er of a family of nine, of which four sons and three daughters survive.

Mr. Linger also took this occasion to preseat the Wingham Lions Club on behalf of the Hamilton Lions Club with a golden key, suitably engraved. This key is a duplicate key to Christ's Church, Hamilton, the oldest Cathed- ra:: re tlor u.a0Cese 0.30. IN.Lab-cla rector of this grand old church is none other than Dean Owen, Chaplain, al H the andltea Liens, (It was in this grand old church that Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Jobb were wedded fifty years ago, on the first of July.) Alt Linger urg- ed that Wingham Lions accept this key in the spirit in which it was given, viz., as a standing invitation to any member of the Wing,ham Club to vis- it with the Hamilton Lions Club when- ever opportunity offered and they would always find the latch -string on the outside to welcome them. Lion Dr, J. A. Fox, in a few words proposed a toast to "Community Spir- it," and coupled with his toast the name of Rev. H. W. Snell, who replied in a lengthy and fitting address, the keynote of which was congratulatory to the Lions Club in their promotion of that community spirit, Mr. Snell said that he had been requested by the • Lion S to throw out some suggestion for the Club to work along by way of a community idea. The only one he said he would venture to throw out would be the possibilitSr of opening up an open air rink where the children of the town might gather and enjoy free skating at least once a week. Licra W. G. Colgate proposed the toast, "Our Guests," which was ably responded to by Mr. A. H. Musgrove. Harry Bennett's Scottish imperson- ations between speeches were very popular. The splendid evening came to a con - elusion by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne," and "God Save the King" The remainder of the night was spent in dancing.
