Mr. Smillie was born in the year 1833, in the Heather House, Dailly, near the "Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon," and spent his boyhood days amidst the heather -clad hills and dales of Bonnie Scotland, On the 8th day of June 1853 he was united in marriage to Hellen Lambie, of Tnnnoek Hill, by Rev. David Ritchie, of Tarbolton, and on the 10th day of the same month they left Greenock, on the sailing ship "Ben Lomond," bound for Canada, which was tolthem then the Great unknown Land. After a slow and stormy voy- age they arrived at Quebec where they were transferred to a small steamer, "John Munn," and at the end of 8 weary weeks they arrived safely in Toronto, 2 brave hearts. strangers in a strange land. They made their home for a few years in Searboro, York Oounty, and 60 years ago came to Walton where Nle. Smillie continued to live until trans- lated to tbe,Home above. He was a man of dauntless courage and when sure he was in the path of Duty or Right he never faltered and never feared the face of man and yet withal he was a little child walk- ing humbly before his God, His re- ligion was as broad as tho love of Jesus and he was ever ready to reach out the helping hand to lift up, to cheep, to comfort. After a brief service at the home the casket was conveyed to Duli's church, which was well filled, for the public service. It was quite unlike many a funeral, more like a enronation of one who well deserved to be crowned, Rev. R. A. Lundy, deceased's pastor, assisted by itev, A. J. Mann, Brussels, a warm friend of the family, conduct- ed the most appropriate service. Text chosen was "Weill done • good and faithful, enter thou into the ,joy of thy Lord." Many a tribute was paid the departed for his zeal, sterling integ- rity, kindliness, readiness to help every good cause, the ability manifest- ed and the conscientious manner in which he stood by the performance of every duty through his long life, Choir tenderly sang "Ile knows it all," 6 elders were the pallbearers. Mr. Smillie's pew was draped in black, Interment was inade in the family plot in Brussels cemetery, There teas no church in Walton 60 held in the was held sere agoand service homes, First log Presbyterian church was built in 1855 then a larger frame structure followed in 1912 by the present fine edifice. Drlr. Stnilite watt the fleet elder and was 65 yeare to office. He was an alert Clerk of Ses- sion, first Superintendent of Sunday School, in all he served loyally and well, Deceased'wae welcomed at the bedside of the dying ; spoke the word of sympathy and hope to the mourn- ing ; presided at fnuerals in the absence of regular ministers end was everybody's friend who respected and esteemed him for the nobility of his character. Every reform had the fell weight of Mr. Stnillie'e iuflu- once by voice, vote and financial as- sitance. He taught the Bible Class the Sabbath before his death virtually dropped in the work he loved so well, Deceased was an outstanding man in the community and his good name stow= and earnestsvtoe will be evergreen. To his sons and daughters deceased leaves the priceless heritage of a good name.
