Math of art Old Resident.
Mr, James Stewart, one of our oldest
and best' known residents, breathed
his last on Saturday last, after a pro-
longed illness. For many years de-
ceased had been in delicate health, in
fact for seven years he was scarcely
able to leave the house and for the
past two years life must have been a
burden to the enfeebled old gentleman,
being continually confined tc his bed
in a helpless state, with his faculties
much impaired; therefore one cannot
mourn that death has relieved him of
the sufferings he has endured. The
deceased was a native of Ireland, being
born in Fartnanagh in the year 1827.
In the year 1848 he married Elizabeth
Wilson and two years later came to
Canada, settling in Prince Edward
county. Removing from there he
took up his residence in Milford,
thence in Lumley, where he reinained
seven or eight years, and about thirty -
years ago he came to Exeter yr here ho
has made his home ever since. He
was a tailor by trade and followed his
chosen occupation until he became in-
capacitated by the commencement of
his long illness. The deceased was one
of the oldest Orangemen in Ontario,
being made amember of the order in
1846, thus he would be 58 years an Or-
angeman. In polities he was astaunch
Conservative and was a member of the
English church. He is survived by
only his aged partner and brother
Charles in Lumley, his only son hav-
ing died here about 19 years ago, and
he leaving a family of three sons— W.
J. Alexander and Edward—they made
their home with their grand -parents.
Mr. Stewart was a man of good prin-
ciple and was respected by all who
knew him. He had attained the ad-
vanced age of 77 years. His remains
were interred at McTaggart's cemet-
ery on Monday.
