He was a former resident of the 8th line of Morris township and Mr. Ritchie jr, claims this fine portion of land as his birth- place. In the locality where the visitor has 4 it from o miles North of Port luron, a specialty is made of sugar ets, beans and chickory. The latter own in rows and looks something like parsnips. The crop sold last year at $7.40 a ton. There is a $2oo,000 plant operated by a Company at Port Huron. Perhaps our coffee would be better if the Michiganders "cut out" the ohickory. Mr. Ritcbie bas 16o acres of landand looks prosperous add we guess he has the goods to back it up, Mrs. Ritchie accompanied her husband to Canada but spent her time visiting her sister, Mrs. Simmons, at St. Thomas Who has been i11.

KERR CALLED To HER REWARD — Peaceful as a tired child would fall to sleep in the arms of its mother came the closing out of a long, happy and useful life to Mrs. (Rev.) J. L. Kerr at her home, Brussels, Monday night about 10.3o o'clock. While she bad been failing noticeably for the past year she was able to be a- bout as usual until Saturday and when medical attendance was sought there did not appear to be any ailment to treat, just a nervous collapse. She put up a brave fight but the flesh proved too frail and her spirit went to God who gave it. Mrs. Kerr's maiden name was Margaret J. Rutledge and she was born on January 7111, 78 years ago, in Sligo town, Ireland being a daughter of Wm. Rutledge, a merchant. Here she was united in mar- riage to the late Rev. J. L. Kerr, who pre -deceased her by 17 years, his translation taking place on Palm Sunday. The event was always a mark- ed occasion to the widow who spoke of it a number of times last week. In 2853 Mr. and Mrs. Kerr came to Canada and for 3o or 35 years they labored most as- siduously and successfully on many circuits in connection with the Metho- dist ministry and it is only her just meed of praise to say no pastor was ever more loyally supported in bis work than was Mr. Kerr by his helpmeet. She made and kept hundreds of friends, many of whom answered the Roll Call of the skies long years ago. On superannu ating Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr located in Brussels 3o years ago last July and botb continued their labors here until called to their reward. Mrs. Kerr was speci- ally interested in the Women's Mission- ary Society in which she was President for many years. Faithfully she attended to many duties in Brussels as was her custom in previous days and her talents in testimony and prayers were freely used to theglory of Go 1. She leaves to mourn her demise 2 sons (W. H. Kerr, of THE POST, Brussels, and Rev. W. E. Kerr, of Welland) and 4 daughters (Mrs. J. J. Gilpin, Brussels ; Mrs. (Dr.) Cavanagh, Owen Sound ; Mrs. W. A. Matthews, of Colpoys Bay, whose hus- band is in charge of that circuit in con- nection with the Methodist church ; and Mrs. May Turnbull, who lived at home for a number of years and faith- fully filled her labor of love in attending to every comfort for ber mother.) One daughter and a son died in infancy, Rev. Dr. Rutledge, of Clinton, who is at present at the John Hopkins Hospi- tal, Baltimore, where be recently under. went an operation is an only brother and Mrs, H. Metcalf, of Toronto, and Mrs. H. Harley, of Swan Lake, are surviv- ing sisters, No mother ever loved ber family more than the subject of this notice and humbly let it be said by the writer, it was just as loyally and af- fectionately reciprocated. In the clos- ing hours of Ler illness she repeated one of many much loved hymns "Testis lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom y lis." Her request was granted only too speedily from the family viewpoint. Funeral will take place Friday after- noon at s 3o o'clock service being held at the borne at 2 p. to, Interment will be made in the family plot, Brussels cemetery.
