OnITuARY.—We have this week to re-

dents of this township, in the person of
William Wynn, of lot 9, cop. 11, wile died
on the 11th inst., of pneumonia, at the ad
vauced age of 82 years, 6 mos. Deceased
was.a native of Donegal, Ireland, but emi-
grated to this country over 40 years ago,
first settling on the Base Line, Blanshard.
He remained there some four years, when
he came to Usborne and located on the lot
on which he died. He married early in
life, Jane Cathcart, who proved a loving
and willing helpmate while together they
etrugglcd to make for themselves and chil-
dren a comfortable home , but some nine-
teen years ago she grew weary and fell
asleep. Deceased possessed a rugged con-
stitution and was of a quiet, studious dis-
position, devoted to his family and his
church. Since age has unfitted him for
the toils of life he might have always been
seen at reasonable tirneslin some quiet nook
cal chilly studying the good old book from
which he drew much spiritual comtort ;
and as he lived, so he died, devoutly cling-
ing to the promises found within its sacred
lids. Always a Methodist, he entered
heartily into any cause which tended to
advance the welfare of hia church, and
filled faithfully the offices of class -leader
and Sunday School Superintendent, and
was also for several years a trustee of the
Winchelsea school Such is a brief re-
sume of the life of one who lived out more
than the allotted three score and ten, and
who now goes to his reward full of hope
and leaving behind a good example for his
children and those who knew him. His
remains were buried in Kirkton beside
those of his wife, and were followed by a
large concourse of friends and acquaint-
ances. A large family remain behind to
cherish the memory and emulate . the
example of the departed.
