DISTRICT 3111A/VERS
Death of Miss Gilespie.-The death
took place in Seaforth on Saturday,
of Heim Florence Gillespie, younger
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jamea Gil-
Iespie, at the early age of 25 Years
Miss Gillespie had been ill for some
time and suffered a great deal,
but havieg a patient faithful andecon-
tented nature, she bore her suffer-
ings with great fortitude. Until she
was unable, she attended the Presby-
terian Sunday Scheel and church. She
is survived - by her parents and one
brother and one sister, all of whom
have the sineere sympathy of many
friends hi their sad bereavement.
A Clever Student -Miss Edith Scott
daughter of Mr. J.R. Scott, of Mc-
Killop, has been/ gziining distinction
for herself at University College To-
ronto, For an essay written by h.er
she stood first in a class of 70, tak-
ing 99 marks out of a possible 100,
which hi a most unusetal achievement.
Professor Keys i in congratulating her
said it was somewhat rare, but that
he liked to see literary instincts de-
veloped in a mathematical student
and wished her continued success in
lier studies Miss Scott is a grad-
uate of the Seaforth Collegiate Instit
tate, where she made an -enviable re-
cord for herself, arid she is evidently
adding to it in the higher branches of
education.
Interesting Photos: - Mrs, J. D.
iilinehley, of this town, has received
a number of very interesting snap-
shots from Salonika., Greece. The pho-
tos were forwarded by her niece, Miss
1,1innie Best, a Seaforth girl, who went
overseas with the University Corps of
Nurses, and who has been stationed in
the British Army Hospital at Salonika
for some months,. They give a fine
idea of the appearance of that east-
ern eity,the hospitals with their equip-
ment, and the wounded soldiers who
occupy it; the harbor, the shipping,
the military aeroplanes, the natives
and their customs, and many other and
varied scenes, and incidentally some of
the dangers to which the nurses are
subjected, as one of them shows a
large hole through the nurses' mess -
tent, caused by a bomb dropped during
a Zeppelin raid.
Presentation. -A very pleasant and
enjoyable evening was spent at the
home of Mr. C. F. Soehner, 40 Went-
worth street, north, Hamilton, on Fri-
day, November 24th; when the men of
the department over which Mr. Soeh-
ner had charge at the Sawyer -Massey
company assembled at his home to bid
him farewell owing to his having sev-
ered his connection with, that firm. A
pleasant thee was spent in cards and
music, after which 'a suitably .and
beautifully- worded address was read
and handcome gifts were presented to
both Mr. and 'Mts. Soehner, showing
the esteem :n which Mr, Soehner was
held by all. Mr. and Mrs. Soehner
are well known former residents here,
Mrs. Soehner being assister of Mr. J.
Wesley Beattie, and -they have many
friends here who will be pleased to
learn of their conthmed popularity
in their new home. .
Died In Calumet -Word wes receiv-
ed here on Saturday of the death. of
John Lowery, which sad event occur-
red, at his home in Calumet, Michigan,
on that day, after an illness extend-
ing over a couple of years from asth-
ma. The deceased was a native of Sea -
forth, being a son of the late Joseph
Lowery, and a brother of Messrs. Alex
and George Lowery, of MelCillop, and
Mrs. John Powell, of Tuckersmith, and
be has many friends here who will
sincerely regret to learn of his death.
About 22 years ago the deceased was
married in Seaforth to Miss Martha
Whitehead, a sister of Mrs. R. L.
Clark, of this town, and about fifteen
years ago he moved with his family
to Calumet, where for a number of
years he filled the position of car in-
spector on the D. S. and A. Railway.
Mr Lowery visited his old home here
two years ago at the time of the Old
Boys' Reunion, but was not then in
the best of health Later he spent
some months in the Western States
and Montana, in the interests of his
health, and for a tinereafter his return
to his aorne in Calumet he seemed to
improve, but the benefit was not a
lasting one, and he gradually grew
worse until death relieved his suffer-
ings..He is ,survived by his wife and
two daughters, who have the sympa-
thy .of all in their great loss.
