LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE EDITOR '1`E_IS WEEK. MEMBER or COMMITTEE. Barrie, Aug. 10th. ' `v, On Friday, July 29th, Dalston lost one of its oldest and" most esteemed ` residents, in the death of Mr. William t Debenham, who saw the primitive for- est of that vicinity gradually changed ; to one of the best settled and most im- proved `farming districts in Centre Sim- coe. He was born in 1820, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Debenham, who in 1819 purchased the farm on the Penetanguishene Road, now occupied by their grandson, Mr. Archibald De- benham, who took possession of it upon the retirement of his father (the deceas- ed) to the village three years ago. At that remote period there was no settle- ment nearer than Holland Landing, but it was not many years before other ' settlers followed, and the present vicini- ty of Dalston began to assume all the appearances of a permanent settlement. Upon the death 01 his father, William assumed control of the homestead pro petty, and by th_e aid of a faithful and devout partner, Helen Oades, whom he married in 1849, worked industri- ously and honestly to the securing of a cumpetencefor themselves and family consisting of nine children, whom they trained by wise counsel ard example to live righteously, diligently and upright ly. Mr. Debenhsm was blessed with robust `health throughout his life, his death eoming suddenly and very unex- pectedly from heart failure. Mr. Dehenham's sudden demise was a specially severe blow to Mrs. Deben- ham, who had been her husband s con- stant companion and. attentive helpmeet through all the varying circumstances The Late William Debenham.

The funeral took place on Sunday, July 31st, to Dalston cemetery, and was largely at- tended by friends who wished in that way to pay a. last tribute of respect to the deceased, and to show their sym- pathy with the widow and family.

Mrs' Robert Christie, whose maiden name was Maria Boyd, died at the resi- dence of her daughter, Mrs. J. J. Cochrane, Worsley street, on Tuesday, August 2nd, 1898, at the ripe age of l 83 years. She was born near Prescott, Ont., in 1815, and was married in 1834 ito Robert Christie of Kemptville. In 1852 they removed to Listowell, where they lived for several years previous to going to Omaha, Neb., where many of their children live. While visiting members of the family in Iowa and N ebraaka, Mr. Christie became ill, and in 1889 died at the home of his daugh- ter. Mrs. Adams, Omaha, in his eight- ieth year.

The grand daughter speaks thus of her in writing from Omaha, She has lived a. noble life, and we all have pleasant re- collections of her cheertul disposition 5 in that respect she was the most re- markable woman I ever knew. She was an active member of the church since she was thirteen years of age; and found much prot in reading and studying religious literature.
