Lawrence Steitz, who for many

our streets as well as up .and down
the concessions and sidelines of the
surrounding townships selling -mall
ware:., is dead. It is just a tittle o -
er a week or so he visited Exeter, .ap-
parent ly enjoying his usual health.
From here he went south to London
and taking sick was removed to Vic
toric. Hospital. His case was of a
malignant -type and the end soon tame.
Everybody knew Lawrence and by
his kindly and genial disposition he
gathered in many a sheckle that h
would not otherwise have added to
'his little store. He was an unfortun-
ate poor mortal too, having lost an
arm -and'seceral fingers were missing
from bis remaining hand, consequently
it was with difficulty he managed to
supply his wants and needs. Howev-
er he .did so fairly well with the
mean: at his command, and succeeded
in making a livlihaod, as well as lay-
.ine up.a little for a rainy day. Of Lawrence awrence had his fratlities like
many others, and to these his unfor-
tunate condition may be attributed.
Deceased was a native of Poland, but
the greater part of his Iife was spent
i.0 Canada and this locality. Interment
was made at St. Peterr's Cemetery,
London and requiem high mass was
sung for him at St. Peter's Cathedral.
