was "a years old, and came to Ellen
dale twenty years ago from Lewes. He
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. J. A. Ellegood, and looked after
farming interests in which he was an
expert. His death was calm and peace
full: no pain, no struggle and no dis
ease. He ha6 been feeble from old age
for several months. The funeral took
place on Tuesday last and the whole
community took occasion to pay their
last respects to the body of this fine
old gentleman; and, although rain fell
steadily the church was crowded. Rev

they were laid to rest beside his wife in
the Methodist cemetery of that town.
