JUDGE McFADDEN DIES AT SAULT STEr MARIE The following interesting sketch of Judge McFadden, folnerly a resident of this locality and a brother to Mrs, David Walker, Brussels, is taken from the Sault Daily Star, of January 11th :— Judge Moses McFadden, K. 0., died yesterday at half past three in the afternoon. The members of Keystone Lodge will convey the body to the 3.50 flair this afternoon for transfer- ence to Goderich, where it will be interred beside that Inf bis wife, Sat- urday afternoon. The remains will be accompanied to Goderich by the Judge'stina John McFadden H \IcFaddel and his tuther IIiaMcFadden, Judge rilcFaddOit s last illness was of some e too uh's dmatin n. The end tett, not unexpected ,• rt. d but for all 1 sitar it F deeply effected the community. ntY His Honor was one ofhe n t ntstandiug figures of Algomaoma for t the past quarter of a century. The death of his wife 7 years "(ago was a shock from which he probably never really recovered. The union had been a peculiarly happy one. She was Miss Annie Doyle, of Goderich, and Mr. McFadden met her in the Sault in 18S0, when elle was on a visit to her brother, the landlord of the Albion hotel, where the young lawyer then boarded. This hotel stood be- tween Phu and Pilgrim streets, on the North side of Queen street, it being afterwards destroyed by fire. When Uriain McFadden arrived on the banks of Lhe Nith river at Edge- conbe, Perth County, Ont„ in 1850 or thereaboute lie was so taken with the spot that he built a saw Mill, 110 was a millwright and had followed tite opening up of \\'eaten Ontario put- ting up mills for all and sundry, So he settled down on the Nillt, built his mill and a house and barn and in due course of time he married and there in 1852 Judge AlcFailden was. horn, Uriah McFadden's choice of a town site wasn't fortunate for a couple of years ago when his son visited tate old homestead there wasn't a trace of the house o' barn oe evt'n tete blacksmith shop, where as a buy, His Honor used to dream of the day when he ton would crake an anvil ting. But Edge- cnuibe, named by its founder for his own birthplace in Ireined, had a,lneal mportance for some years. It pos- essed s good public school where the edge got a good sound drilling in the uncdarnesLttls and thereafter he &t- ended the Stratford Grammar School, itso ' x0ront Normal Sch h] U and the lianilton Collegiate Institute.
