He leaves to mourn his passing two sons, Gardham of Markham and David on the home farm. There are also four daughters, Mrs. W. A. Thompson (sic) and Mrs. Wm. Maxwell, both of Markham, Mrs. Geo. Cowie of Stouffville and Mrs. E. D. Sharpe of Sheridan, Wyoming.
Funeral service was held on Monday afternoon at the Locust Hill United Church at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. McLachlan, assisted, by Rev. King of Locust Hill and Rev. Lunau of Toronto, with interment in the adjoining cemetery.
