PUBLIC NOTICE.
MEDICAL BOARD
MILITARY SERVICE ACT.
DEATH OF DR W. J. R. HOLMES: reu
Late County Treasurer Had a Loag, 1a-
tereauaa and Useful Career.
In the last few weeks Goderich has lost
many of its old residents, and Dr. Holmes, 1
who passed away on Sunday after an ell -
nese of several weeks. was one of as best-
known citizens. As treasurer of the ,
county of Huron, he had resided in Goole -
rich for over thirty years, and he had •
taken an active part in the affairs of the i
town and county. I
Wm. J. R. Holmes was the eldest son of
John Holine% one of the early pioneers of
the Huron Tract, who came out to t his
country from Ireland in 11432, went back,
and in 1833 married and brought out his
bride, four brothers and other relatives,'
totalling in all sone thirteen persons. and'
located in the township of Godench.
John Holmes from the very hrst took an
active interest on behalf of the early sett-
lers in their disputes and troubles with
the Canada Company. He was a mem-
ber of the hrst district council and ' of
every council, township and county, con-
tinuously until 1858. and during the last
four years he was Warden and Provincial
ant nature. The railway 'to Goderich
and the court house were built during his
term. and the extensive gravel road sys-
tem was successfully carried through.
It is interesting to note that the balance
of the money borrowed at that time for
this purpose was paid off in the year
1916.
The subject of this notice, Wm. J. R.
Holmes, was, as stated above.Joho Holmes'
eldest son and was born at Holmes-
ville January 19, 11,42. He early showed
a great prohciency in mathematics. At
twelve years of age he had mastered all
that he could be taught at the school in
Hblmesville at that time and went back
to the farm, whet, ' he remained until ham.
15eeam'e sixteen, *hen he went To Code -
rich Grammar sdwol and after that to
the Model Gratnmar school,: Toronto,
and ended up his ltchool course at Upper
Canada College, Toronto. The official
record of the College reads: "Wm. J. R.
Holmes left College in 1862 first in math-
ematics and second in general profic-
iency." He afterwards matriculated at
Toronto University and took a double
scholarship in mathematics and medicirse.
His competing for and taking the medi-
cal scholarship was the changing of his
life; that and the fact that his closest
friend, who was with him through all his
school career. was going to study medi-
cine, decided him to de so also, although
it had been intended he should study law
and a place was rranged for him in an
important legal tlrm of Toronto•
The civil war 'across the border was
then raging and he entered the United
States army as a surgeon and remained
there until the end of the war. He came 1
home in May, 1865, and stayed a while
at Bluevale, mo ng from there to Brus-
sels, then calledm•layville. In practice
he was fairly cc�eessssful. although he dis-
liked the profession very much. and he
embraced the first opportunity afforded
him of quitting it by accepting the offer
made to him in December, 1883, of be-
coming treasurer of the county of Huron,
which appointment was afterwards con-
firmed in January, 1884. The salary
was very much lower than the amount he
was earning, but the work wa4 so con-
genial that he never to the end regretted
the change.
In religion he was a strong believer in
and a stout upholder of the Anglican
Catholic church and when in Brussels he
served a couple of years as church war-
den. In politics he was a Conservative
and in two elections he was the party
candidate. but was not elected. He was
a charter member of St John's Masonic
lodge, Brussels. and was its master for a
number of years. For some years he
was the president of the Goderich Cutting
and Skating Association and for a great
many years up to the time of his death he
was the secretary -treasurer .of the Gode-
rich Collegiate Institute board.
He always took a great interest in
military matters and was connected with
the 33rd (Huron) Regiment ;as surgeon,
ring with the rank of lieutenant -col-
onel Since the war broke out his interest
o military affairs was strongly revived
and he took a useful part in the local work
n connection with the war, and especially
n the work of the Red Cross Society.
He was married in 1867 to Janet,
daughter of Gavin Burns. of Oshawa, and
he attnbuted to her any success he had in
his life. She predeceased him in 1914.
He leaves three sons: Dudley Holmes.
K. C., of Wingham; Hilton. of Fort Wil-
iam, and Frederick Barlow, of Toronto.
Two brothers also survive him: John R.,
of Hol rrtesville, and Dr. Thomas G., of''
Detroit; also three sisters: Mrs. Leech
and Mrs. Howell. of town. and Miss De-
borah Holmes, of Holmesville.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon from the residence of the de-
ceased, Colborne street, to Maitland i
cemetery. The-- funeral services were
conducted by Rev. A. L. G. Clarke. rec-
tor of St. George's church. and the pall-
bearers were Judge Dickson, Sheriff Rey-
nolds. Messrs. Wm. Lane, C. Seager, Jas.
Doyle and D. Macdonald,
The large attendance at the funeral in-
cluded members of the county council ,
and of other bodies with which'
the deceased had been associated'
in his lifetime: also a number of
relatives from outside points, includ-'
fret Mr. John R. and Miss D. Holmes,
of Holmesville; Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Howell, of Onondaga: Mrs. Dudley

UNION GOVERNMENT FORMED.
Several Prominent Liberals Enter Sir
Robert Borden's Cabinet.
A "union" Government has been formed
at Ottawa under the Premiership of Sir
Robert Borden. The Liberals taken into
the Cabinet include Mr. Rowell. Opposi-
tion leader in the Ontario Legislature;
Hon. J. A. Calder, of the Saskatchewan
Provincial Government; Hon. A.L. Sifton,
Premier of Alberta; Mr. T. A. Crerar,
head of the Western Grain Growers' As-
sociation, and Mr. F. B. Carvell. the well-
known Liberal M.P. from New Brunswick.
The Government has not been com-
pleted and it has not yet issued any
statement of its policy, and itis too soon
to express any definite opinion concerning
It. The so-called union Government has
some good features and some that are not
good. So far as The Signal can judge
from the expression of opinion by promin-
ent members of the party in North Huron.
the action of the Liberals who have joined
Sir Robert Borden is not regarded with
any great degree of favor among the
Li ahs of this riding
