John Rowe, of Hay Township, who passed away on Fri- day last at the comparatively y g age of 42 years and 2 months.

'a'he deceased was at daughter of Mr. \Van. Balkwill, of town, and married her now bereaved husband about twenty years ago. She was highly respected as a neighbor and by her gentle and kind-hearted nature she was beloved and respected by all who had the pleasure of her acq.txintarce.
