his daughter, Mrs. Burkett.
eyesight was good at nearly d
hundred years of age and he
could read without glasses; he
spent much time in his latter
days reading the Bible, remark
ing but a short while ago that
he supposed he had read the
New Testament through fifty
times within the last few years.
Mr.. Cantlcy was twice mar
ried, his second wife, Mrs. Liz
zie, having preceded him in
death several ye4rs ago. He
reared a large family Of chill
dren, who, with their offspring,
comprise a wide relationship
who sincerely mourn the passing
of their patriarchal ancestor.
Mr.. Cantley was magistrate of
his district a number of years
and also filled the Office of SUI
pervisor Of registration until the
infrmities of old age precluded
active employment. His dis
charge of the official duties in
both these positions were cred
liable to his executive ability.
He was genial, kindly man,
fond of children, and a man of
influence in the affairs of the
community in which he lived.
He was a member of Central
Presbyterian church almost from
its organization.
In the presence of a large
number OF kindred and neigh
bors the funeral took place at
the burial ground on the old farm
that had been his home so long.
