And tears have dimmed our eyes, .

OBITUARY
Charles Barclay Forrest
Saturday afternoon, December 28th,,
1946, the spirit of Charles Barclay
Forrest winged its flight to the Great
Beyond. He was in his eighty-fourth
year and had spent his entire life on
his farm, lots 26 and 27, Concession 2,
Morris, where he died. Here he was
born of Scottish parents, who came
from Perthshire, Scotland, clearing
the land of timber and establishing a
home for themselves and family of
seven, four sons and three daughters.
Charles' was the eldest, and at the early
age of fourteen his parents died, leav-
ing to him and 'an uncle, John Forrest,
the care of the' home. •. Perhaps this
fact, more than anything else, develop-
ed in him, the strong character with
sterling qualities which all his friends
admired so much. He was the true
Scottish type, adamant in his views
and principles of honest, upright living;
fond of an argument, tender-hearted
• to those in trouble, kind to little child-
ren, a great neighbour and a good
friend. Areal tribute, his former pas-
' for paid him when he compared his
indominatable spirit to that of Win-
ston Churchill, the man who said,
"Give us the tools and we will finish
, the job." The memory of his life will
• live long in the hearts of those who
loved him as an incentive to a strong,
pure and noble way of life. Another
link- with the pioneers gave us the
solid foundation of our present com-
fortable way of living, has been broken
In the year 1891, lie was. united in
marriage to Lucy Robb, and a feW
years later, two nieces, Viola MacLeod'
(Mrs. Graham Campbell) and Christie
MacLeod (Mrs. Andrew Turnbull),
' came to make their home with them.
Seventeen years ago his wife prede-
ceased him and four years later, Mrs.
Graham Campbell, husband and family
came back to the old homestead to
care for her uncle Charlie, during his
.declining years, and front her he has
received the most tender and untiring
care. .
His three brothers, James, Alex and
!John, and one sister, ,Mary, (Mrs. An-
son Shaw), predeceased him. Two
sisters remain, Agnes, (Mrs. J. H.
Fear), Ethel; and Elizabeth, (Mrs.
John Forrest), Lansing, Michigan.
The funeral service was conducted
by his pastor, ReN% Hewitt of Blue-
vale, assisted by a former pastor., Rev.
I C. Tavener of Holmesville. A favour-
ite hymn was sung, and a solo, "In
the Garden", was sung by Tom Stra-
chan accompanied by Mrs. King. The
floral tributes were beautiful and were
carried to the grave by Archie Moses
and Melvin Jermyn. The pallbearers
I were, Wesley Jumps Win. King,
David Johnston, Jas. Moses, Henry
Mathers and Dan Cassidy. Interment
took place in Brusels cemetery.
Mrs. Charlotte Hicks
Mrs. Charlotte Hicks, widow of
Thos. Hides, died on Sunday, Decem-
ber 29th., at Vanscoy, Sask., in her
91st. year, Both Mr. and Mrs. Hicks
