Stewart at Lucknow on Moa..ay, June lith, removes another of the- Pioneers of Etubro and West Z The deceased had been in falling health for soave time past and it was known for sometime that the end was near at hand, but notwithstanding his declining health he was always cheerful and bore up under his weakness with a fortitude that way remarkable for one in bis weakened .condition. The late William K; Stewrrt was well *nowt* yin "Embro and West Zerra, in fact was widely known to manor through- out the Dominion. For many years) he .owned and operated the farm now in the possession of Mr. Gour in North Embro. He was known as one of the best neighbors in the district, kind- hearted and veep 'ready to assist no matter when the .call cane and under any circumstance he never faltered to put' forth his beat pfforte to help out any of the neighbors; in times of trouble Or ot death he was right on hand to give words of comfort and in Ouch cases he could pour in the oil that would certainly calm the minds and feeliege of those who were left to mourn. He al- ways took a deep interest in municipal matters, both' in the village and town- ship, and served on the Council Board for several terms. He also was much interested In Farmeas' Institute work (as it!was then called) and wquld be on hand ,when a campaign was on to go hroughout the County and deliver peeches in the intereete of euoh work. As. a political campaigner he visa a forc- ble speaker and delighted in ping forth to advocate the principals of the iberal party; of which party he was a Wong supporter.

The deceased leaves behind a sorrow- widow, orrow-widow, eight sons and two daugh- who are now scattered abroad in rent parts of Canada and the ted. States. All of these sons are ing prominent'positiona and two bf number are preachers of the gospel. e remains ware brought from Lick - on Wednesday last and arrived at ro station at 3.40.
