THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAPORTS, Friday, September 7th.
Died in Duluth.—Word was receiv-
ed here this week of the death of Mr.
Robert McNaughton, which occurred
in Duluth on August 25th, after u
very short illness. Mr. McNaughton
was born in McKillop township 66
years ago, but has resided in the West
for many years. In the letter an-
nouncing his death a friend said:
"Though in failing health for a num-
ber of years he was always active,
and his sudden passing away was a
great shock to his many friends who
loved him for his kindness, his cheer-
fulness and his high ideals." Mr. Me -
Naughton was well known to the
readers of The Expositor, through the
frequent and interesting letters he
contributed to the columns of this
paper on pioneer days in McKillop
and other subjects, and all will regret
to leatn of his death.
WINGHAM
Fatal Motor Accident. — Robert
Austin, of Wingham, was almost in-
stantly killed here on Labor Day
when he became frightened and
jumped from a car its which he was
riding. P. McCue, owner of the car,
was driving along the Teeswater
Road, about a mile out of Wingham
when the axle broke and the car
swerved into the ditch. Austin, ap-
parently fearing that the car was
going to turn over, jumped and land-
ed on his head. He was rushed to
the Wingham General Hospital, but
died from hemorrhage shortly after
being admitted. All the other occu-
pants of the car, of whom two were
children, kept their seats and were
unhurt. Austin was married, and his
wife is living in London.

ST. COLUMBAN
Death of Mrs, Bryan Downey,—
There passed away at her home on
Wednesday last, another of those
early pioneers to whom the County
of Huron owe such a debt of grati-
tude for the magnificent honhea
everywhere to be seen. Mrs. Downey
whose maiden name was Juhannah
McCoy, was born in Limerick County,
Ireland, eighty-seven years ago, and
came to Canada when eighteen years
of age. Fifty-six years ago on Nov.
26th, she was married to Mr. Downey
and fur fifty years they lived at
Beechwood, moving to St. Columban
about five years ago. She is surviv-
ed by her bereaved husband, Mr.
Bryan Downey, and five daughters
and two sons: Sister Eusebia, of St.
Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Dan Cronin and
Mrs. John Cronin, St. Culunrbeit; Mrs.
Jaynes Cronin, Dublin; Mrs. Ed.
Horan, Beechwood, and John Downey,
St. Columban, end Joseph Downey,
Beechwood. Mrs. Downey was of a
very fine character and enjoyed good
health throughout her long life, never
having a doctor until six weeks before
her death. Her last fllness was only
of one week's duration from heart
trouble. The deceased was a devout
member of the Roman Catholic
Church and received all the rites of
the church before her death. The
funeral was held from the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Dan Cronin, to

Now Ab, like myself, you are not
nearly as young as you used to be,
so be very, very careful for the world
is of mighty- little consequence to a
man when his wife is a widow or
his children fatherless.—The harvest
was just about all gathered in last
week. From what I have seen, I
think it will be average. To be sure
there are always some who complain.
This reminds me of a story I heard.
Joe and Jim, two farmers, lived
alongside of each other. "A fine field
of wheat you have there, Joe," said
Jim. "Yes," said Joe, "but look at
the oats, not the length of one fin-
ger." Another year came. "You have
a fine crop of grain, Joe," said Jim.
"The grain is all right," said Joe,
"but my hay was no good. I guess
my horses and cattle will starve to
death the coming winter." Another
year came. "You have a fine crop
this year," said Jim. "Yes, I have a
whale of a crop," said Joe, "hut I
fear it will be very hard on the
ground."

entered into with much jest by girls
and toys. After supper was served,
a twilight service was held on the
beach, when the President, Miss
Anna May Haugh, presided, the

eunion Picnic,—Mr. John An-
drew's farm, at Lucknow, was the
scene of A unique gathering on the
afternoon of Monday, September 8rd,
when the Webster reunion picnic was
held there.: The large crowd, num-
bering two!llhundred and six, spent a
must enjoyable afternoon, the older
ones in renewing acquaintances,
while the younger members of the
company played baseball and other
games. Afte r it bountiful supper had
been served, Mr. Thomas Webster, of
London, addressed the gathering very
aptly, expres-,ng the feeling of all
present in hit ing so pleasant a re-
union, and following his suggestion
it was decided to have an annual re-
union picnic at Lucknow. The com-
mittee appointerl to take charge of
the arrangement for it were: Thomas
Webster, London, chairman; Harvey
Turner, Stanley; Harry McGee, To-
ronto; T. J, Webster, Seaforth, and
Fred Andersen, George Andrew, W.
T. Gardiner end James Webster, of
Lucknow. It was a great pleasure
to all present That Mr. Dan Webster,
who has been a helpless invalid for
four years, was able to be present
and address the gathering and all
listened with the earnest attention
while the much loved and highly re-
spected "Mule Dan" told of the
early days when his father, Daniel
Webster, came sixty-nine years ago
to the bush t" Lot 12, on Concession
14, Ashfield Township with his family.
His uncle's family came out from
the old land at the same time and
made homes for themselves, all set-
tling at Lncknow. Of those sixteen
pioneers only three are now living
and all were present on that occasion.
They are Mr. Dan Webster and his
sisters, Miss Elizabeth Webster and
Mrs. Andersen. The direct descend-
ants number two hundred and seven-
ty-five, many of whom were not able
to be present. After singing "Blest
be the Tie that Binds," the good-byes
were said and all departed for their
several homes.

iting friends at Brussels.—Mrs. W.

University, Kingston, has also re-
turned to his home in St. Catharines
to resume his duties as high school
teacher.—Mrs, Archie Roberaton, post
mistress of this village, had recently
the unique and very happy experi-
ence of locating a half-brother of
whom she had known, but had never
seen, until by chance she noticed a
card addressed to Mr. Charlie Jinks,
Hensall. This being the name of the
long absent brother, she at once
wrote to him, giving him the maiden
name of her mother, which was
Martha Truax; also her own maiden
name, which was Rose Tern, and ask-
ing him to write her telling if this
was his mother's maiden name, and
if he had any proofs that might
certify the relationship. Mr. Jinks,
with his wife, upon receiving the let-
ter, immediately motored to Crom-
arty, bringing photographs of hi
mother and himself when he was a
child, which were identical with Mrs.
Robertson's photographs, and so
proved undoubtedly that this sister
and brother were happily restored to
each other after these many years.
-The strange part is that Mr. ,Jinks
has lived in Hensall for the past
twenty-five years and Mrs: Robertson
has lived within ten miles of this
town for the past forty years, yet
had no knowledge of each other. Mr.
•Jinks is a highly respected citizen of
Hensltil and Mrs. Robertson's many
friends in this place rejoice with her
in this happy reunion, as her other
two full brothers are each a day's
ourney away from here.

GODERICH TOWNSHIP
Death of Adam Cantelon.—It was
with a shock of surprise and deep
regret that the word went about
shortly afternoon on Thursday last
of the sodden death of Adam Cante-
lon, Clerk of Goderich Township, and
a well known citizen of the commun-
ity. Neighbors and business associ-
ates in town and country, everybody
who knew him, and that included
many, were alike astounded. Mr.
Cantelon had been in his usual health
and had been ploughing all forenoon.
He came in at noon, put in his horses
and came in to the house. He had
had a heart spasm and found it dif-
ficult to put his horses in, but on
reaching the house he took some
medicine, which he had for the pur-
pose, and lay down and after a short
time he felt better. He then eat
down to dinner. Mrs. Cantelon hav-
ing left the table to get something
on her return found him sitting with
drooping head and on speaking to
him was alarmed to find that he did
not answer. She immediately called
for assistance and she and neighbors
endeavored to restore him, but life
had fled. The family had known for
some time that his heart was weak
but it was not considered serious and
none were more shocked than his im-
mediate family. The late Mr. Can-
telon was a native of Gbderich town-
ship, having been born on the farm
on which he died. He was the young-
est of the large family of the late
David Cantelon, one of Goderich
township's pioneers, and spent his en-
tire life in the township. He was a
progressive farmer and took a keen
interest in public affairs. For the
past seven years, since the resigna-
tion of Mr, N. W. Trewartha, M.P.P.,
he had been township clerk, a posi-
tion he filled with great acceptance.
Ile was also secretary of the Gode-
rich township telephone system. In
politics he was a staunch Conserva-
tive and he was an Orangeman of
long standing, being active in Coun-
ty and District lodges. He was a
Methodist, being a member of Holmes-
ville church. Mr. Cantelon was, of a
genial disposition and was much lik-
ed by all who knew him. His place
in the community will indeed be hard
to fill. He is survived by his wife,
who was formerly Miss Beacom, and
one daughter, Mrs, Charles E. Wise,
also of Goderich township, and by
three brothers, William and David, of
Clinton, and Harry, of Watford; and
one sister, Mrs. Kyle, of Brandon,
Man. The funeral took place from
his late residence on the 9th conces-
sion on Saturday afternoon. The ser-
vices at the house and graveside were
conducted by the Rev. A. V. Walden,
the Orangemen also taking part in
the last rites. The pallbearers were:
Reeve George B. Hanley, of Stanley
township; George Vanderbourgh, C.
G. Middleton, J. P. Sheppard and N.
W. Trewartha, M.P.P., of Clinton, and
John Woods. The funeral was veeey�
larugely attended by friends from the
neighborhood and from Clinton and
