Be- ing unmarried and of a quiet unassur- ing nature the circle in which he moved was not a large one, but, nevertheless those who had the pleasure of his friend ship regret keenly his departure. As far as is known he had no relatives in this country, but a brother of his re- sides in Belfast, Ireland. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon from the Presbyterian church at 2.30, interment taking place at Haz- elwood cemetery. The pall bearers ineludad Messrs R- McCrimmon, J.
