John Barratt Townsend, is one of the
graduating class to be garduated next
week. He was proud of his boy and no
doubt had looked forward with pleasure
and interest in his graduation. The class
attended the funeral in a body. Many
| beautiful floral emblems we're sent as
tokens of love and sympathy. Aside from
Mr. TOwnsends splendid business quail
ties that were so much admired in the
commercial world we're the ties of love
and friendship that endeared him TO the
community. Everyone was glad to call
him a friend and the influence OF his
life will be lasting. To those who we're
privileged to be intimately associated
with him the parting is severe, the stroke
is heavy and only time and divine com

this dispensation of Providence. The
bereaved wife and son have the sympathy
of the entire community. Interment was
