Mr* David Alexander* cf Usiberwe* ■passed away without a momeut’s warning on the farm u? his son Ed- niund, with whom he had been •working durlwg. the day. Father and ^B,on were in the stable finishing tb® <hores for the day when the father, wha had only been attended toy a doctor once sine®' his childhood, sud­ denly collapsed and expired. The jj,ews of his death came as a great shock to his family and friends, •"The- deceased was born on the farm on which he died, being lot 20* jSTorth Best boundary. He was in his 61st year. He is survived iby his be* crewed widow, whose maiden name was Annie Blackburn, also, one son, Edmund and one daughter, Mrs. K. Hutton, at home. He is also surviv­ ed by his aged mother, Mrs. Agnes G. Alxeander and three sisters, Mrs, Josiah Creery, Mrs. George Davis and Mrs. Win. Thomson, all of Us- Jborne. The funeral was held Friday afternoon conducted iby Bev. James Anthony with interment in McTag- garts’ cemetery. One of the sad features in connection with the de­ eeased and his widow is that both of them have been deaf and dumb nince their childhood and in view of -this fact Mr, Anthony chose for the funeral text Isaiah 35:6; “And the tongue cf the dumb sing,” the mess­ age having been written and hand­ ed to Mrs. Alexander. The message speaks in loving terms of the esteem of which the deceased was held and was as follows: “We gather here to pay our last tribute of affection to one whom some of you have known for years. We do so with sad hearts and a feel­ ing that amounts almost to- alarm. For this is the third death in this immediate neighbourhood that has come with a suddenness that would be alarming did we not live under the sheltering hand of Him, who knows what Is best tor us and for our dear For our brother -wmed to bo in the ’best of health the call came that evening as he was finishing his day's work. Indeed he is said to have required the services pt a doc­ tor but once in his life. Three score years of abounding health were his portion, an experience for which he was deeply grateful. You know his manner of life in this neighbourhood. No breath of .scandal was blown upon his good name. He was diligent in his busi­ ness. He was kind and good in his home. His was the open hand in neighborly service, His Bible was one of the most readily seen of the furnishings of his home. Some of us were unable to com­ municate with him by anything like the spoken word. But we have seen his smile* We have felt the clasp of his hand. We have noted his 'ges­ tures of good will* We have wit­ nessed his courtesy on the road nd as we met him in our community life. What we have learned of him in (these imperfect ways has won our esteem and our tenderest con­ sideration. It is not for us to mourn for him. he lived a useful life, free from pain and plentiful in good works and useful labour. He has been spared the labor and sorrow of old age. He never has and he never will exper­ ience the decay of his powers, For him the grasshopper will never be a burden. For him tae golden bowl has been broken when the pitcher was full at the fountain. For him the evil days had scarcely dawned. Let us rather think of him as one who has experienced the triumph of the text. “The tongue of the dumb shall sing.” Let us think of him as one who now hears. What stran'ge melodies must have fallen upon the ears that so long were closed t-o the voice of wife and mother and friend and child and neighbour’ What must havro been his experience as he heard those melodies played to spirits of the departed on their ar­ rival in the better land to blot out the mempries of life’s limitations and heartburnings! And all this in the presence of the Saviour whose love and wondrous grace no tongue can tell, no choir can sing! To his family, to his aged mother, to his immediate relatives, to his friends and neighbours, and, su­ premely and in the tenderest regard and in the deepest Christian sym­ pathy to his bereaved wife we ex­tend" our most cordial greetings and the heartfelt sympathy of all who called the late David Alexander friend and brother. The pallbearers were D. Parker, p. Passmore, J. Bolton, H* McDoug­ all, B. Simmons and W- Kerslake. Mr, D. Alexander and, daughter, Ed­ na, of Woodstock, attended the fun­ eral. Kollar.
