OBITUARY.—One by one the pioneers
of our country are being removed by
the hand of the reaper, Death, and it
now becomes our painful duty to record
the death of Mr. Charles Lovett, sr.,
which took place on Saturday the 18th
inst., at midnight,at the ripe old age of
eighty years. The deceased had been
ailing for several years from affections
of the stomach and respiratory organs
and at times suffered severely but bore
it all with Christian resignation and
the oft repeated expression "The wheat
is ripening to the harvest." The de-
ceased was a native of Omah, Tyrone
Co., Ireland, and came to Canada sixty
years ago (18,16.) He spent five years
in Montreal being first employed as
butler for a Mr. Tait and afterwards in
a mill belonging to Sir Hugh Allan.
He also did sentinel duty in Montreal
during the rebellion. He was married
before leaving Ireland and Mrs. Lovett
came out to Montreal in 1837 and there
their eldest child Margaret wan born.
In 1811 they carne to the Huron Tract
anti settled on the farm afterwards
owned by the late Noble Whitely on
the Huron Road, west of Holmesville.
Here his second child, Mary, was born.
He was burnt out inside of a year and
lost all his worldly possessions, but
nothing daunted he started out again
and settled on the farm here on which
he died, being the first white man to
take up land on the Base line, north of
the Maitland. He succeeded by dint
of hard work. despite the dangers and
privations of pioneer life in the midst
of a wilderness to hew out a home for
himself and his family. Here the re-
maining ten children were born.
Three of his chaldron have gone before,
Isabella, who died at the age of 14,
Margaret, wife of Mr. James Mains,
who died about eleven years ago and
Mary, wife of Mr. Andrew Reid, who
died about four years ago. His surviv-
ing children areas follows :—Mrs. John
Scarlett, Leadhury; Mrs. Geo. Tyner
and Mrs. J. J, McLaughlan, of Hullett;
Mrs. Geo. J. Stewart, of Clinton; Mrs.
Francis Scott, of Birr, in Middlesex;
Miss Kitty who lived a: home and
Messrs. Charles, wbo lives about a
mile north ; John of Hullett and
Noble, who lives on the homestead.
His sorrowing wife of sixty years his
only sorrowing brother John, and his
nine surviving children were all pres-
ent at bis decease. In politics he was
a Conservative and in religion an
Episcopalian and always took an active
interest in the church to which he be-
longed, being warden of St. Peter's
church here for many years as he also
was one of the zealous tittle hand who
first succeeded in building the church
here. He was a true friend and a good
neighbor and.was hlg esteemed by
