Broadfoot, of Tuckersmith, had, on the previous evening departed this life. Although this annotincement was notaltogether unexpected, Mr. Broadfoot having been seriously ill for some days, it was re- ceived by all with feelings of the pro- foundest regret. Mr. )3roadfoot caught • a severe cold on election day, which set - tied. on his lungs, resulting in inflamma- tion and pleurisy, and which soon brought low as otice strong constitution-. Mr. Broadfoot had 'reached the great age of 87 years, and was e smartaactive man, and able to attend to his _business until his illness. Hehad been possessed of an unusually robust constitution, and he used to say that although he had done as much hard work as ,any man in Tuckersmith, he had never been con- fined to his house through illness for even one 'day. He emigrated to this country from Scotland in 1833, and took up and settled on the, farm on which he continued to live until the time of hit death. tie was one of the first settlers in Tucaerimith south of the Huron Road, and consequently he endured 0,11 the hardships and pri- vations as well as enjoyed the triumphs of pioneer life.' Nothing delighted him more than to recount the exploits of the early settlers of the township and he always maintained that the happiest period of his life was when cleaning up his farm.. .As an incident of the times he was wont --to relate his experience on the occasion of one visit to Goderich, which was then the ,only market town for this district. He went to Goderich with two ;yokes of oxen and two loads of wheat and desired to get a aarrel of salt and is fed- pounds of sugar, but he could not 'sell the wheat and the mer- chants of that day refused to give salt or sugar in 'exchange for wheat and Mr. Broadfoot had to take his wheat home again and borrowed money enough from Mr. Dark, who then kept hotel there, to buy the telt and he went without the sugar. Ian Broadfoot was the very soul of honor and few men enjoyed more fully the eonfidence.and esteem of their fellow men. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and an enthusiastic Liberal in politics. He was twice married, his first wife being a sister of Mr. James Carnochan, of Tuckersmith, and bis second wife, who survives him, a daughter of theilate Robert McMillan of hlullet.' He leaves a large family grown. tip stens mod daughters, all o whom eery. -settled in fife.
