PrONEBR DEPAR S. -Another of Huron's pioneers, in the per on of Mr. Thomas Adams, of Seaforth, eparted this life on Sunday evening last. Mr. -Adams had reached the good age of 83 years. He had only been laid up for abo t, a week, having contracted a severe cold which cul- minated in pleurisy. He was bo n in County Fermanagh, Irelend, on February 13th, 1816. He was married to .Ann Cluff in 1841, and came to Canada in 1842 They first settled on the 2nd concession of Mc. Killop, on the farm now owned by Mr. John Hays. After residing there for three years, he located on the farm on the Heron road, on which a portion of Seafortn is now built. At that time this whole section was solid bush. When Mre Adams Came to this country, the voyage was ot so egay or pleasant ae it is now. T ey were nine weeks on the ocean end seve weeks in the eivarentine station at Halifax About twelve years ago Mr, Adams sold hi farm and re. 1 tired from the more ern v duties of life, and has since nesided on Goderioh street, Seaforth.
