Stanley.• OBITUARY.—Mr. John Mc-Dian/rid, one of 'ehe olcieet pioneers of the township of Stanley, has been removed by death from amongst us. He came to Canada in the year 1843, along with his partner in life. They settled in the township of Osgoode. In the year 1845, he moved westward, in company with the late Donald McDiarmid, when this townehip was a solid wilderness. They walked from Hamilton to this town- ship. They picked on their farms, walked to Goclerich and settled for their land and then returned on foot to Hamilton, where they tools the boat eastward. It is men of this stamp who have made this country what it is. They were not afraid to face any hardship if they found it in the path of duty. In the following year they returned with their wires to their farms on the 3rd concession of Stanley, and then built their first shanties. By industry, pluck, perse- verance and economy on the part of Mr. McDiermid and his wife, thes/soon succeed- ed in making a cornfcrteble home for them - /selves and family. They had a family of two goes and eight daughters. The two sons and one daughter died when young. Of the seven daughters ciliate married but the young- est who still remains to coimfort her mother iii he declining years: Mr. McDiarmid re- tired from farming fifteen years ago, and removed to Brucefield, where he continued to reside until his death. He was an hon- orable and kind-hearted man, and was liked by all with wham he was acquainted. He was a staunch Liberal in politics. When he settled here first he had to contend with a great many hardships. Often has he said that he had carried two bushels of grain on his back for two or three miles, and frequently got lost in the woods when night overtook him. He was e man of great endurance and hardly ever knew what sickness was. He was a native of Perthshire, Scotland, and died an the 12th of January, at the ripe old age of SO years and 8 months. He was a member of the. Presbyterian Church for many years. liis last illness was but of few days duration, and he passed away without a pain. He always leaned upon, the precious pramises,ancl trusting in his blessed Master, he passed, away in the hope of . a glorious eternity - where sin and sorrow are not known. It is a peculiar coincidence that although John and Donald were in no way related, their late were cast- much together, and in life they were as intimate as brothers and were scarcely separated in death, only a day or two intervening between the death of eacb and now both relit almost side by side in the cemetery. Wroxeter.
