He carne to Canada in 1892 in the hey day of his youth, and worked for different farmers in the neighborhood of Wingharn, he was skilled in the rearing of sheep, an oc- cupation which he followed in his native land. In 1895 he was married to Jane G. Campbell of Wingham, by Rev. Dr. Ferric who officiated at the funeral services on Wednesday after- noon, which was held at the home of his brother, William. g. daughter Mrs. Bloxam of London and a son, iam of Niagara Falls survives. He was a member of the moulders' union, and being of a cheerful dis- position will be greatly missed by his comrades in the Western • Foundry where he was employed for a number of years. Six of his shopmates acted as pallbearers on Wednesday viz: James and Alex. Robertson, David and Howard Finley, joseph Guest and Robt. Durnin. Four sisters, one married in Ire- land, two married in New York and another married in New Jersey and wo brothers :.survive, Richard of Galt and William of Turnberry. It was the late Mr. Austin's delight o roam through the woods with his dog and gun, and when he met his tragic fate last- week he was on his way to hunt. He now rests beside his cousin the late Edward Jenkins in Wingharn cemetery. The floral tributes were beautiful among them wreaths from the nickel platers, the moulders and the office staff of the Western 'Foundry. The following lines were favorites of Abram Lincoln and hear rtpeating in this sudden call of death. • Like a flash of the meteor, A break of the wave, Man passes from life To his rest in the grave. (Mr. William Austin wishes to pub- licly thank the fellow employees of his brother in the Western Foundry, the management, neighbors and friends who were so kind, also Ivirs, W. C. Lepard and G. T. Robertson for their autos and the Jenkins famil- es for their many deeds .of kindness during his sore affliction.). .

Hired Wan Lit out With Plunder The romance of a little old log house, show in the accompanying pnotogeeph, overshadowed the recent farewell party and reunion of the I Stonehouse family ,which was held here. The house, built 6g years ago, is no longer occupied, but is good for many years yet. lt bears rememb- rance of pioneer days when the fore- bears of the present day Storehouses helped to convert a widermiss into a garden spot. • Thu house was /milt by !Richard Stonehouse, who cut and ' hewed the timbers himself and drove the ox teams which brought them in- to the clearing for the house, Especially honored on the day of the reunion was Mrs. T. C. Wilkin- son, of Escanaba, Michigan, daugh- ter of Richard Stonehouse, who was 'born in the log house. Others who were born in the log house were ' Robert Stonehouse, now of Belgravea 3, L, Stonchouse and Mrs. H. Hopper of Wingleme, and Mrs, Chas. Burney, of Exeter. Besides these there 'were eight' grandchildren 'and one great-. grandchild of Richard Stonehousca There were • two weddings in the' old house in the early days. The old farm bell, which was rung on these-, occasions and every day for many years, pealed out in the old familiar tones on the day of the re, union. Though the children and grandchildren are scattered • from coast to coast many cif them had old memories recalled by their visit to the homestead. The stone house shown in the pic- ture was built by Robert Stonehouse of Belgrave, who collected the stone from the farm on which the old log house had been'originally built.
