death of Mrs. Hugh J. McDonald, of

date of the funeral Which took place on
Friday afternoon last, and was a pri-
vate one, to the Hensall Union ceme-

and for a time was also a resident of

49 years of age and was a iparticularly
bright and animated lady', with many
excellent qualities, bueiti was in her

suffered greatly from trouble which
was first noticeable in her ankles but
continued to extend; -upwards until her
entire body was much aftected and
although Mr. McDonald spared no
pains or expense to give her the very
best medical and expert treatment
both at her home and in Toronto and
London the trouble was such as did
toot yield to treatment and she grad-
ually grew weaker' and imore distress-
-ed until she passed quite peacefully
away on Wednesday morning. The
-funeral, on Friday, was conducted by
the Rev. Mr. McConnell, her pastor,
of Carmel Church, who paid high en -
coniums to the deceased and the very
patient manner in which she bore her
illness- and her excellence as a devoted
wife, mother and most excellent
bause-lteeper. Very much sympathy
is felt for the bereaved husband and
family.

omas Creech.-The
sympathy of the whole community
goes out te the bereaved relatives of
Mr. Thomas Creech, who passed away
on Tuesdayevening, death being due
.to pneumonia. The deceased had been
ailing forabout a week and for sev-
eral days was in a very critical condi-
tion. The deceased was an Exeter
boy, born and raised in the village. He
was industrious and ambitious and by
his frugality and perseverance had
worked himself into one of Exeter's
prominent business men. For several
years he has been agent for the Can-
adian Expresi Cd, succeeding Mr. C.
T. Brooks. He also conducted a cart-
age .business and with the ever in-
creasing volume of business in both
these lines, he was kept pretty active.
He was taken down with influenza and
from the first his case was considered
serious. The esteem in wihch he was
held in tAfr community is evidenced
from the manner in which his welfare
was eagerly enquired after from day
to day and it was thought the critical
period had passed and that he was im-
proving somewhat when he quietly
passed away. •His place in the com-
munity will be hard to fill. The de-
ceased was -38 years, 2 months and
six days of age. He is survived by his
wife whoee maiden name was Miss
Kate Robertson and a family of five
small children; also his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James Creech, one brother,
James, of the States, who was present
at the funeral, and one•Sister, Jessie,

Mr. and Med Gordon Bolton-, where
