on the train, and on his return when
near Mr.. Gilliard's house, the grim
messenger, death, overlook him, and
he expired almost Immediately after
being carried into the house. AT the
time of his death his age was 50
years, months and days. lie
was born near Belfast, North of Ire
land, emigrated in 1923 to America,
landing at st. Andrews, New Bruins
wick, from thence he came to Michi-
gan 26 years ago, and has since resid-
ed continuously in the township of
Brockway. His wife preceded him
to her long home some ten years ago,
since which time he has resided with
his son VIM. Ii. in Old Brockway
village, two sons and one daughter
also having gone before him, leaving
five sons and two daughters as well
as large circle of friends to mourn
his departure. The funeral service,
which was very impressive, was con-
Quoted by Elder Andrews, pastor,
assisted by Elder Harris Of Port
Huron, at the Baptist church in Old
Brockway, after which large con-
course of neighbors and friends at
tended his remains to their last rest
ing place in south Brockway ceme-
tary. 1t can truly be said of the
deceased as the most enduring tri-
butte to his memory, that he lived
and died a sincere christian. The
leading aim of his life was to con-
tend for the faith once delivered to
the saints, which took the best form
of expression, in living the faith in
his daily walk and conversation.
He has been, since its organization
in the township, an active worker
in the Baptist church of which he
was deacon, and was one of its
pioneers and any sacrifice for the
welfare of the church was borne
willingly and cheerfully by him,
laborihg in season and out of season
to advance its interests. He, like
the grand old christian warrior of
the New Testament, could have ex-
claimed: 81 have fought a good
fight, | have finished my course, |
have kept the faith," and patiently
look for the reward promised all
those who love and wait the appear
ing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.

the condition of Lawrence at the time, after
ward confirmed by the steward who served
