Rev. Canon William Craig, rector of

and one of best known and . most
respected clergymen in the Anglican
diocese of Huron, died early last
Thursday evening of heart affection
after an illness of only a few days.
The late Canon Craig, who would
have been 74 years of age next month,
preached in his church as usual last
Sunday evening, and he had not
been out of the house since then.
It was on Sunday, however, that he
first complained of being unwell, al.
though his general health had been
somewhat impaired for a considerable
time. His specific ailment was angina
pectoris, an affection of the heart,
He was seized with a severe attack
Sunday morning and the end came
at 5:45 o'clock in the afternoon.
Only tt week ago last night Canon
Craig was present at a farewell din-
ner tendered Prof. T. G A. Wright,
of Huron College, and who is leaving
the city, by the Anglican clergy of
London, and was one of tlt; prineipal
speakers. '
