The de- ceased was a native of North Toleta, Lewis Island, Scotland. He was mar- ried in the Old Land and came to Canada, and directly to Goderich, as a young man and that had been hie home ever since.

He was a regular attendant at the old Gaelic church in Goderich when that church was in existence, in fact was often spoken of as "the charter member" of that church. When he went to Goderich the Gaelic tongue was probably more familiar to him than the English, and it was in the Gaelic that he loved to read, as is shown by the extent of the books in that language which he had about him. He was an ardent supporter of his political party and was out to re- cord his vote at the recent election.

USBORNi NB Death of John Morgan.—This com- munity lost one of its finest citizens en Wednesday of last week in the death of John T. Morgan, who passed away at the age of 58 years and 3 months.

For the first week after going to town he was able to be around but was confined to his bed for about a week previous to his death. The deceased was born near Lucan and at the age of 13 moved to Exeter with his par- ents, the late Thomas and Mary Mor - 141 gan. He lived in Exeter several years and at the age of twenty went west where he spent five years, and then returned, taking up farming in Usborne Township.

Stewart, both of Usborne, mourn the loss of a kind and affec- tionate husband and father. Several years ago Mr. Morgan retired and moved to Exeter, where he lived for three years and again returned to the farm. The deceased was a man of the highest integrity and unimpeach- able character. To know him was to love him. For many years he was an Elder of the Thames Road Presbyter- ian church and a teacher of the young men's class in the Sunday school.

When a girl 10 years of age she came from Edinburgh, Scotland, her birthplace,. with her father, settling in Canada. In 1866 she was united in marriage to Joseph Hodgins, who preceded her in death 19 years ago. They were married at Seaforth, Huron County, Canada, where they lived until 33 years ago, when they cameto Oge- maw County, making for themselves a home on what is known as the Hod - gin's homestead where they lived con- tinuously until his death. Since that time the mother had been living with her children. Nothing can be more ideal in this life than a mother who has reared a large family, and hav- ing lived with her children to the ad- vanced age of 83 years. Mrs. Hod- gins helped to make Ogemaw County and will bl hays be remembered as one of the sturdy pioneers. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, and always maintained that very noble characteristic of the pioneer of lending aid to the needy.

Williamson, Alpena and Mrs. Frank Withey, Sel- kirk; three sons, William, John and Joseph Hodgins, of Selkirk; twelve grandchildren and five great grand- children.
