DEATH OF RICHARD MANNING, ESQ. —One after another the pioneers are departing from among us, leaving only the lustre of their untarnished names, and the examples of their useful and sterling lives for the guidance and emulation of the younger generation. This week it is our sad duty to pen the death of Richard Manning, Esq., who departed this life on Tuesday last at the age of 71 years and 8 months. He numbered his friends as many, while his gentle, kind-hearted Llature won for hien the good will of hundreds of acquaintances. Born in Devonshire, England, October 1st, 1824, he came to Canada at the age of seventeen years and settled with his parents neat Port Hope. In 1847 he married Harriet Trick, who died March 7th, 1895. In 1$53 he moved to Exeter where he re- sided until 186e when he moved on the farm in the first concession of Stephen, where, he lived until return- ing to Exeter about 20 years ago. Shortly before leaving the term he re- ceived a sunstroke which resulted in paralysis and from which he never re- covered. For about eight years he has suffered intensely and the last few years has been almost wholly helpless. But possessed of a brave spirit he bore his affliction manfully and after many a season of indisposition he always turned the bright side out. Deceased never took a very active part in public or municipal affairs but throughout life he evinced an intelligent interest in all questions affecting the public good. He was a life long Reformer and was a consistent member of the Methodist church. In counsel or advice he ill- weys evinced the soberest wisdom and was a kind father and an affectionate husband. He leaves a grown up fam- ily of five sons and one daughter— William Charles, of Cleveland; Luther, in Manitoba, Wilber, of Clinton, Mrs. George Weir, of Bothwell, and John and Russell, of this place. His funeral took place from his late residence to the Exeter cemetery on Saturday — Exeter Advocate. SETTLEMENT.—The promptness with which the various fraternal societies meet their death claims is certainly much to their credit. The following letter from Mrs. Muir, widow of the late Wm. Muir, explains itself :— CLINTON, MAY 19, 1896. Received from the A. O. U. W. the sum of 012As there has been considerable delay in the payment of the above, I might state that papers of Guardianship hal to be taken out and other forms to go through, which has been the cause of the delay.
