Obituary. -The following obituary refers to a former Bayfield boy, a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Parker: "D. W. McCloy was born in Bayfield, Ont., in 1881, where he grew to young manhood, coming to Milton in 1907, where he remained 5 years. He will be remembered here by some of the older people, having sung in both the Presbyterian and Methodist choirs while °here. He left Milton in 1905 and shortly afterward moved to Saskatchewan, where he took up sing- ing, travelling with a Winnipeg troupe, giving boxing exhibitions and training on the side, from Winnipeg to Vancouver. Having covered that route three times with the same show troupe, he started a pool room and barber shop in East End, Sask., where he was located under the same roof with our old time friend Palmer Leaf. In 1919 he married Amanda Schnevie. They lived at East End until three years ago when, through failing health, he miles advised to leave his present job and take up something that would get him out in the open air, renting his property in East End. He moved to Minot where he entered the real estate business and where he still lived at the time of his death. There was no family to this union. He is survived by his wife mother, two half brothers and a number of uncles and aunts. He was phew rs.Miltoand MT. WLaing . Cox, oWal- halla, for all of whom the citizens of Milton and vicinity sincerely sympa- thize. The funeral was held Satur- day afternoon at 1.30 and was- at- tended by many friends of the be- reaved family. There were a number of beautiful floral pieces sent by rel- atiibs and friends. The services were conducted by Rev. Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian church." KIPPEN Your accounts are now ready. We would like to have them settled before the end of the year. W. E.
