Aaron Morgret in Ayr township
on Monday evening at the ad-
vanced age of 81 years, 3 months,
and 4 days. Funeral took place
YESTERDAY afternoon and inter-
ment was made in the cemetery
at the Big Cove Tannery Luther
an church.
"Old DAVE" as he has been call
ed for the last fifty years, came
to the Cove before the War; and
after the death of his mother
many years ago, he lived the life
of a hermit in a little cabin IN the
"Knob" near Webster Mills. On
account OF advancing years, it
was not considered right to allow
him to stay there alone, and about
ten years ago he was placed in
the home of Mr.. Morgret, and
the expenses of his keeping paid
by the poor authorities.
Mr.. Goodman was an eccentric
character, dressing very plainly,
allowing his hair to grow long,
and never applying razor to his
face. While he was never con.
sldered as being we'll balanced
mentally, he possessed remark
able memory, and could recall
with certainty facts that had oc-
Cured generation ago, and 10
cate the date with precision. He
was a lover of truth, and had the
utmost contempt for liar. The
teachers and pupils IN town and
the Cove of a quarter of a century
ago will recall the visits of Davy
to the schools. Without being
formally announced, he would go
into the school room, take his
seat by the stove, and perhaps
proceed to take smoke, Then,
if the teacher wanted to make
Davy's visit pleasant to Davy,
and interesting to the children,
he just asked Davy to sing a song
for the school. He did not need
the second invitation, and it usu-
ally took more skill on the part of
the teacher to bring his entertain
ment to successful close.
Davy had many good qualities,
and will be kindly remem bered
by those who knew him.
