Former Resident Passes in Early
Life.—The Walkerton Telescope of a
recent date said: "In hospital in
Hamilton last Sunday afternoon, there
passed to rest a young man, esteemed
by many, in the person of Russell
Emerson Daley, husband of Mary
Lovedy Daley, of Kingsville, and only
son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Daley,
Walkerton. At Kingsville, early this
ear, 'Mr. Daley was ill, but he re-
turne�l to business with Messrs. Webb
and Hendershot. In May, however,
he was forced to give up completely,
and with his wife, came to Walkerton
to be with his parents and sisters. In
spite of medical skill and nursing at-
tendance, here and in Hamilton since
September, his sickness proved fatal.
His wife, father and the former's
mother, Mrs. Dryburgh, of Kingsville,
were with him at the end. His mother
was at his bedside most of last week.
The deceased was in his twenty-sixth
year. The Daley family moved to
Walkerton from Seaforth eleven years
ago. From the public school Emerson
entered the employ of Mr. G. T.
Rourke and later was with Messrs.
Stephan Bros. in their gents' furnish-
ing department. In 1925, having be-
come proficient in this line and a fav-
orite with patrons of the store, he
accepted a position in Kingsville with
the firm with which he remained un-
til his illness. In Kingsville, as in
Walkerton and . wherever he was
known., the late Mr. Daley's untimely
death is a matter of very deep regret
and to his widow, his parents and
sisters, Miss Ethel Daley, town; Miss
Margaret Daley, R.N., Oshawa, and
Miss Dorothy, at home, the sympathy
of a wide circle of friends is extend-
ed. Before leaving Walkerton six
years ago, the deceased was an active
member of St. Paul's, United Church
choir and of the Young People's
League, and in Kingsville his interest
in church relations continued. There
he belonged to the Epworth United
Church and taught a class in the Sun-
day school, and he was identified with
the ambassador Young People's Club.
The remains were brought from 'Ham-
ilton to the family home, where on
Tuesday evening, Rev. J. W. Schofield
conducted a service for the family.
Those who attended the funeral from
a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
Daley, Misses Ethel and Dorothy, of
Walkerton; 'Miiss Margaret, R.N., Osh-
awa; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Jones, Rev.
Schoffield, pastor of the United church,
Walkerton; Mrs. Emerson Daley, of
Kingsville; Mrs. Archie Drybourgh,
Mr. Gordon Crawford, Kingsville;
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Russel, London.
The funeral on Wednesday was held
in Seaforth with a public service in
the North Side United Church. Inter-
ment was made in the family plot in
Maitlandbank cemetery. The pall-
bearers were six cousins of the de-
ceased: Messrs. Stewart, Charlie,
Jack and Edgar Cudrnore, William
Harvey and Orville Workman.

■ I MaCTAV1SH'S
lied to talk with him. He answered
their questions, and told them to drive
down, pit their horse in the stable,
feed it and just make themselves at
home, but be never stopped his work.
"Is that not a most surprising atti-
tude? Why," he said, "most boys
you would meet would lean on their
hoes from the time you appeared in
sight until you took your departure,
but that boy would not elven stop do-
ing his duty, when you would talk to
him." He was an intense lover of
birds, animals and all nature in gen-
eral. In early childhood he became
so fascinated in the study of birds
that he collected some seventy or so,
specimens of their eggs, and was nev-
er satisfied until he had the informa-
tion which descr•ilied the character-
istics of every bird in the locality.
He made himself so familiar with the
study that he knew the chirp of al-
most every bird and took an intense
delight in roaming the fields and
woods, iii their companionship. Dur-
ing the past summer he found a nest•
with the young in the hay field, and
lest the little (brood would be destroy-
ed, he very carefully carried them to
a place of safety, where he was sure
they could be raised without molesta-
tion. Best above all, he was true to
his home and family circle and long-
ed for the hastening of the. goodness
of God's kingdom upon earth. Of him
it may be truly said:
"I live for those who love me
For those who know me true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me
And waits my spirit too;
ror the cause that needs assistance,
And the wrongs that need resistance,
For the iilttttke in the distance,
And theg otrd that I can
do,
'Surviving hien are his father, Thee.
