tion in the person of Robert 'Thomp-
son. The deceased was born of Irish
parentage in, Lanark County in 183'7 -
and came to Huron in 1856. For sev-
eral years he followed the business of
farming on the -farm just south of this
town, now owned by Mr. 3 aures Ham-
ilton, where he resided for a time.
Later he purchased the farm on the
16th concession and that continued
to be his home until two years ago
when he left it to his eon Robert G.,
and moved to Clinton. Thus for over
sixty years Mr. Thompson has been
identified with the life of this com-
munity. He was a nexeellent farmer
and made a success of that calling.
He was also a man of strict upright-
ness of character and was held in the
highest esteem by all who knew him.
He was a quiet, unassuming inant tak-
ing little active part in public afairg. j
In religion Mr. Thompson was an An-
glican,
`
being a member of St.Paul's
church, and was a regular attendant
at the services of the church. In
polities he was a staunch Conserva-
tive.
His illness was not of Jong dur-
ation, his death being due more to the
wearing out of the system than to
organic disease. Mr. Thompson is
survived by his wife, who is not en-
joying the best of health, and a fam-
ily
of five daughters and two sons,
The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon to Clinton cemetery. _. i
