THE LATE RICeTARD EI.STON.+-Mr,
Richard Elteton, a, Well-known resi-
dent of EYeter,, died suddenly Wednesz-
day, 8th January (ass we mentioned last
'week) in 'hd,s 76th year. In 18.55 his
father and fatmily came from Devoxn
shire, Eng., Parish orf Morchard, and
settled to Exeter. Richard was themin
his. 19th year, :In his 27th year he
married MaR'y Ann, eldest daughter'of
Thomas X'arkinse z, who predeceased
shim &bot five years,'. Tue homestead'on
which' hiei eon Richard atoll lIees, is
situate on Lot 1, Cohtt.,.8, Biddulp'h. He
:leaves four sans; and three daughters',
Tlectmas, .Gen Balli ; Jes;ee, Exeter
Rio'hard, Biddi h; Misses A.an('e and
Dinah, Exeter; David and Mariam • of
Edmonton, Alta,. Although so widely
separjatted in their bereavement I doubt.
,not but their heart's Will all turn to
the old home around w'lrich cluing so
many fond menner3eis of father and
mother, memories” which will undoubte
edly be cherished as the most) precious'
Il'h'ing•s of life. Mee Elston was an ac-
tive worker in' the -church sad Sunday
school, elglo took air intelligent interest
in educatio»Rl h- artteeta as was evfden..
ced by Bitst being School Trustee for
several 'term. Living in Exeter and
vicinity fbr over half a century Richard
Elston was one of our well-known men.
He wars a, member' of Main-st Methodist
church, an ardent advocate and "sup-
porter of tennperance, and a Life -Bong
Liberal. - Sure the last end of the
good man ilsl peace. Hew calm his exit;
Night dews fa,11 not more genitly to the
ground ; Nor weary. worn-out winds
expire so soft. Even the tired 'flesh
rests, toot' In certain hope of Besur-'
vection; Nor shall it hope in veal
The time draws oto wh;en, nota single,
spot of burial easel, Whether on land
or in the ewe:ciauts wept, But must' give.
back its long committed dust in,veolate.
