healthy young man of fine physique, and had practically never been
ill until this sickness seized him. He was 30 years of age and
leaves a wife, who is also very ill with influenza. The funeral is to be held
from his late home, Orchard Farm, Adelaide Township, near
Strathroy.

the sympathy of many friends here in their heavy affection.
