DEATH.—The Kincardine paper of
last week makes mention in the follow-
ing manner of the death of Mr James
Dawson, father of Mrs Benson Tyre -
man, of this township. "On Friday of
last week, Huron Township lost one of
its old settlers, a man universally re-
spected wherever known, in the person
of Mr Jas. Dawson, who for a quarter
of a century, owned and occupied lot 17
in Con. A., lake shore, south. His Life
had been a busy one, and he had al-
ways enjoyed the best of health, up to
week before his death. It was while
sitting in the house that he was strick-
en with partial paralysis, and he never
rallied from the attack, but gradually
sank until death came. and he was re-
signed to pass out into the glorious be-
yond. During his illness, he was sur-
rounded by his devoted wife and fam-
ily, whom beloved so well, and his last
Hours were soothed by their presence.
Mr Dawson was a man who never had
a taste for public display or for office.
He was -quite happy in his own home,
and his Lifework was to care for, to
love, and to provide liberally for the
dear ones of his family. In the highest
sense of the word he was an honest
man, endeavoring at all times to do un-
to others as he would have them do un-
to him. Deceased was born in Mon-
mouth in 1837, and when thirteen years
of age, emigrated with his parents and
other members of the family to Cana-
da. settling in the township of Clark,
Durham County. Here he was mar-
ried to Miss Elizabeth Rae, of that
township. It is within a few weeks of
25 years since the deceased moved to
Huron township, and during his resi-
dence there, James Dawson and fam-
ily were always looked upon as this
most desirable of neighbors, and as cit-
izens who commanded respect from
every person. For many years he was
a consistent member of the Methodist
Church at Pine River. In politics he
was a pronounced Conservative, but
was always willing to allow an oppo-
nent to have the same liberty of
thought and action which he himself
exercised. A wife and family of two
sons and five daughters survive the de-
ceased. The eldest s<.n is Mr Edward
Dawson, who is well known as a suc-
cessful seedsni:tn and gardener, and as
a lecturer in connection with ternper-
ance:and kindred work. The other
son, Mr Samuel D. Dawson, reeides on
the homestead, as does also the young-
est daughter, Angeline. Four daugh-
ters are 'married— Mrs E. Snowdon,
lake shore south; Mrs B. Tyreman,
Londesboro; Mrs J. Pollock, Saugeen
line, Huron township; Mrs Thos Pol-
lock, Durham line, Kincardine. The
funeral on Sunday last was largely at-
tended, Service was held in the pine
River Methodist Church, by Rev C. V.
Lake, after which the body was
brought to Kincardine for interment."
