startling suddenness to Mr. Sills
Eyre early Monday morning of this
week. He had retired the night be-
fore in his usual health, but about
two o'clock in the morning Mrs. Eyre
wa.s awakened by his loud breathing,
and before she could Minimise help
he' had passed away. Mr. Eyre had
attended church on Sunday as usual,
and had been in excellent health ap-
parently when he retired at night,
so that his death came as a great
shock to his,family and the commun-
ity at large. The deceased was born
in Brockville 69 .years ago, and 35
year's ago was united in marriage in
Acton to Miss Janet Wren. For
some years they resided near Chieel-
hurst, afterwards removing to a farm
in Harpurhey, where they resided for
eieven years, and twelve years ago
they purchased the farm on the Kip-
per,. Road, where they have since re-
sided. In religion Mr. Eyre was a
member of the Presbyterian cherch,
having been a member of the Man-
aging Board of First Presbyterian
church, Seaffrth, when he resided in
Harpurhey, and was acting in the
same capacity in Egmondville chinch
at the time of his death. He was a
man of industrious habits, genial and
honorable, and possessing the good
qualities that wouicl make him re-
spected in any corhmunity, and his
death is a lose to the township. Be-
sidesehis widow, he is survived by a
family of four sons, Harry, of Sarnia;

Death of Alexander McMurtrie —
We mentioned in last week's issue
the serious illness of Mr. Alexander
McMurtrie, of this village, and stat-
ing that at date of writing he was
little improved. But a few days af-
ter he began to sink and on Friday
last he sank rapidly and shortly af-
ter noon passed away. As previously
reported, Mr. McMurtrie suffered a
strcke on the 29th of June last, which
rendered him very helpless and
which was shortly afterwards follow-
ed by convulsions, which told heavily
on his vitality, at the age of 72, and
although all that cbuld be done for
him was done, he passed away Friday
of last week, the end coming very
peacefully. The deceased was born
in St. Thomas, Ont., in Februery,
1651, a son of the late John McMur-
trie, being the fifth in a family of
six. When a boy he moved from St.
Thomas to the London Road on the
farm now occupied by Mr. Alexander
Mc,nteith, and from there to the\town
line, on the fine farm now occupie3 by
month

trie retired from farming and moved
to Hensall, where he has resided to-
gether with his wife for the past ten
years, purchasing when he came here
the fine two story brick dwelling on
the corner of King and Albert Sts.
The deceased was in religion a stauch
Presbyterian, and in politics a life-
long Reformer, and took a deep in-
terest in all ,matters pertaining to
church and state, being a close reader
and keen observer. In addition to
farming very successfully, he bought
largely of cattle and'other live stock,
making constant shipments and was
looked upon as a good buyer and re-
liable jtodge of stock, and was most
highly respected in the community.
In his spare time -he took a great in-
terest in gardening and in keeping
everything nice and tidy around Ifis
premises and enjoyed bowling very
niuch, being e member of the Hensall
Bowling Club. He leaves to mourn
his loss his loving wife, nee Miss
Mary Love, to whom he was married
