The subject of thi* sketch was probab- ly one of the bait known men in this towuthip, as well a one of its oldest resi- dent*, lie wa* born near Brockville, May 13, 1821, afterwards removing with his parents to Lindsay and subsequently to Meafurd where the I'urdjg were some of the first citiwns. He came of I K Loyalist stock. In 1860 he settled at Eugenia in company with his iwo broth- ers, William and Alexander these three brothers taking up must of what is now the town plot of Eugenia. The unlimited water-power thnre waa the attraction which drew them to the spot, but only in a limited and disappointing degree wan their hope* fulfilled. This water power has never been developed to th* extent hoped for by these pioneers. They built grist awl sawmills but in no oasu were their veututes satisfactory ia a financial sense, although they were of immense benefit to pioneers of early days. Robert Purdy kept the poatottice st Eugenia for over thirty veais. He was also a J. P and commissioner in tbe High Court uf Justice. For one year he sat in the township council and had his aspirations led in i hat direction might have served the township for many mom. About five years ago he was obliged to give up the postotfice OWIIIK to failing health. He leaves behind one brother and one sister, vis. : Dr. Alexander Purdy of Whatcom, W. T., and Mr*. J. M. Thureton of Kim berley. Robert Purdy was known far and near for his scrupulous integrity. He never married, neither did he ever unite with any church, preferring to do good in his own way. He delighted in the com- pany uf yuunic people and fur many years was superintendent of a union Sabbath school. All denomination* shated in hi* bounties ao far as he was able to give and all were equally welcome under his roof. A peculiar trait of Mr. Purdy'* nature, and one which reached a fuller develop- ment iu later years, wss his hoarding of trifles. He never destroyed a scrap of newapaper uf any description .ind the pust'iltice accumulations uf yean have all been preserved. Anything out of the ordinary in nature waa also carefully saved, and rort* in the shape of snake* and animals were placed on exhibition fur the interest of visitors. To such an extent was this indulged in that for years his residence at Eugenia ha* been known as the "old curiosity ihop. " Last fall Mr. Purdy became so ill that it was nec- essary tu remove him to Kimeerley, where be could be properly cared for, but he has gradually lieeu sinking until OB Sunday morning the spirit took iu flight. He wa* a just man and upright, intell.- Ki'iit. quaint and original in his converta- liun and correspondence. That is all he would desire us to say by wsy of eulogy. The funeral took plaoe to Flesherton cemetery ou Tuesday, where the remains were laid by those of his muter. Mrs. Hadley, and his niece, Mrs. H. M. Bower- uian, who both preceded him few years ago.
