Obituary Of R. J. Cantelon.
The late Robert John Cantelon was
born in the Township of Turnberry, oft
December 25th, 1863, the son of Peter
and Elizabeth Cantelon. who were among
the first settlers of the Township. He
attended the public Echool in the village
of Bluevole until he was 9 years,,old when
his mother died and his father moved to
the township of Morris, in the vicinity of
Brussels. He attended school there for a
few years and grew up to young manhood,
When be was 18 years old he emigrated
to Manitoba, in company with his older
brother, P. I Cantelon, (who now resides
in Goderich) and located in Southern
Manitoba near where the town of Boisse-
vain now stands. .
As a young man he endured all the pri-
vations incident to a new country. In
1887 he was converted to God under the
ministry of Rev. Oliver Darwin who later
became Superintendent of Missions for
the province of Sask., and who now rep-
resents the Methodist church of Canada
in directing our Methodist people who
are making Canada their - home. He
Immediately became a member of the
Methodist Church and joined the choir,
where he delighted to sing the songs of
Zion.
In 1888 he returned to Ontario to visit
the scenes of his childhood and while
there he was united in marriage to Miss
Sarah Jane Cagemore, daughter of the
late James and Mrs. Casemore who prov-
ed herself to be a loving helpmate through
all the years. There were 6orn to them,
four children, Roy of Wingham, Leon of
Rocanville, Sask., who served in the war
for 31 years, Mrs. H. Kent of Brantford
and Gertrude of Toronto,
After returning to the West with his
young wife, he engaged in business in
Winnipeg where he became identified with
the Salvation Army. Being a musician of
more than ordinary merit he was appoint-
ed Bandmaster which position he filled
with great acceptance for three years
Winter and summer almost every night
for five years his voice was heard on the
streets of Winnipeg warning people with
all the earnestness of his being to flee from
the wrath to come. So much exposure
and strenuous army work in that harsh
climate . to some extent undermined his
constitution from which. he never fully
recovered.
He then returned to Ontario for nine
years and joined the Methodist church of
Bluevale, where he worked faithfully as
choir leader and local preacher for a
number of years, Returning to the West
in 1002, he located in Southern Alberta
where he organized and superintended a
Sabbath School in a new settlement for
seven years,
About eleven years ago he took up his
residence in Wingham and engaged in a
coal and wood business which he suc.
cessfully carried on until the time of his
death. During his residence in Wingbaw
he took an active part in Methodist
church activities, being a class leader for
some time and carrying on cottage prayer,
meetings for six years, which were a great
blessing to mabycitizens of the town.
His funeral survice was conducted in
the Methodist church by the Rev. C. 8.
Cr4gg who took for his text "and Enoch
walked with God and was Not".
His remains were followed to their rest-
itig place by many Sorrowing and tyin-
pathizing friends. The pallbearers were
his most intimate friendt and christian
fellow workers, Messrs. Oeo. Mason, R.
R, Mooney, W. 14. Willis, A, E. Lloyd,
J. Galbraith and Chat, Cook.

Obituary Of R. J. Cantelon.
The late Robert John Cantelon was
born in the Township of Turnberry, oft
December 25th, 1863, the son of Peter
and Elizabeth Cantelon. who were among
the first settlers of the Township. He
attended the public Echool in the village
of Bluevole until he was 9 years,,old when
his mother died and his father moved to
the township of Morris, in the vicinity of
Brussels. He attended school there for a
few years and grew up to young manhood,
When be was 18 years old he emigrated
to Manitoba, in company with his older
brother, P. I Cantelon, (who now resides
in Goderich) and located in Southern
Manitoba near where the town of Boisse-
vain now stands. .
As a young man he endured all the pri-
vations incident to a new country. In
1887 he was converted to God under the
ministry of Rev. Oliver Darwin who later
became Superintendent of Missions for
the province of Sask., and who now rep-
resents the Methodist church of Canada
in directing our Methodist people who
are making Canada their - home. He
Immediately became a member of the
Methodist Church and joined the choir,
where he delighted to sing the songs of
Zion.
In 1888 he returned to Ontario to visit
the scenes of his childhood and while
there he was united in marriage to Miss
Sarah Jane Cagemore, daughter of the
late James and Mrs. Casemore who prov-
ed herself to be a loving helpmate through
all the years. There were 6orn to them,
four children, Roy of Wingham, Leon of
Rocanville, Sask., who served in the war
for 31 years, Mrs. H. Kent of Brantford
and Gertrude of Toronto,
After returning to the West with his
young wife, he engaged in business in
Winnipeg where he became identified with
the Salvation Army. Being a musician of
more than ordinary merit he was appoint-
ed Bandmaster which position he filled
with great acceptance for three years
Winter and summer almost every night
for five years his voice was heard on the
streets of Winnipeg warning people with
all the earnestness of his being to flee from
the wrath to come. So much exposure
and strenuous army work in that harsh
climate . to some extent undermined his
constitution from which. he never fully
recovered.
He then returned to Ontario for nine
years and joined the Methodist church of
Bluevale, where he worked faithfully as
choir leader and local preacher for a
number of years, Returning to the West
in 1002, he located in Southern Alberta
where he organized and superintended a
Sabbath School in a new settlement for
seven years,
About eleven years ago he took up his
residence in Wingham and engaged in a
coal and wood business which he suc.
cessfully carried on until the time of his
death. During his residence in Wingbaw
he took an active part in Methodist
church activities, being a class leader for
some time and carrying on cottage prayer,
meetings for six years, which were a great
blessing to mabycitizens of the town.
His funeral survice was conducted in
the Methodist church by the Rev. C. 8.
Cr4gg who took for his text "and Enoch
walked with God and was Not".
His remains were followed to their rest-
itig place by many Sorrowing and tyin-
pathizing friends. The pallbearers were
his most intimate friendt and christian
fellow workers, Messrs. Oeo. Mason, R.
R, Mooney, W. 14. Willis, A, E. Lloyd,
J. Galbraith and Chat, Cook.
