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. avgrowevecomempeoweveresso • Miss Nancy Tom is visiting in Lon- don. - Ray Fanson Spent`Saturday in God- erich.
