Jenkins, a prominent farmer, and one
of Huron County's oldest native-born
sons, died at his home on Sunday in
his 79th year: He was born in God-

all his life had been spent within a
mile or two of his birthplace. His
own home is situated just about tic°
miles from Clinton, on the•Huron road,
and his success in home and farzning
sets a worthy example. Being of a
quiet disposition, - he took no promi-
nent part in public affairs, but served
for many years as an official of Wes-
ley .Methodist church, Clinton. • His
wife predeceased him 25 years but

Silk crepe trimmed with radium lace
and carrying a shower bouquet- of

entered the 'parlor and was given
away by her father. The bridal party
stood under ay) arch of evergreen and

ventional bridal veil, caught up with
orange blossoms sent to her direct
from California. Miss Olive, sister
of the bride, wearing a gown of pale
pink crepe, acted as bridesmaid, while
the groom was attended by his broth-
er, Mr. Horace Henderson, of Paris.
While the happy- couple were receiv-

Dead At The Age of 106 Years.—
The oldest resident in Huron, and

person of Edward Lamb, who had at-

The late Mr Larng was born in Wee

lived !under the reign of five British
sovereigns. In 1843 the deceased came

In fact he has the appearance and a-

with a very large family of sons and
daughters he always worked hard

He was a genial, whole-souled Irish-
man, a staunch friend, and good neigh-
bor, and commanded the highest re-
spect of a wide circle by his ability
and other good qualities. About nine
years ago he carne to reside with
his son-in-law, Mr. M. Rowland, and
although then long past the alotted
span, he possessed all his faculties
and his health to a remarkable degree.
In fact it was not until the past year
that the wonderful constitution show-
ed signs of collapse, and although con-
fined to bed for sorne time he suffer-
er from no particular ailment: it was,
apparently, just a wearing out of the
system that brought this remarkable
life to a close. Before coming to Can-
ada Mr. Lamb was united in marriage
in Ireland to Miss Mary Whalen, who
predeceased him only eleven years.
To this union were born two sons:
John, of Walton; Stephen, of the West,
and formerly of Seaforth, and one
daughter, the late Mrs. Rowland. The
deceased Was a lifelong adherent and
supporter of the Roman Catholic faith
and the remains Were brought to Sea -

and delivered' a very strong attack
which I was unable to resist. When
the smoke cleared away most of the

tell you how thoroughly we appreciate
a parcel from Canada. The contents
are most enjoyable and useful, and in
addition to that it brings us more
closely in touch with those we have
