REUBEN BLIGHT Mr. Reuben Blight, who pass- ed away at the home of his son, on Thursday, August 14, 1924, was born at Biddeford, in Dev- on, England, 82 years ago. Coming to Canada while quite a young man, he resided for a short time at Prince Albert, but soon toek up the work of a pio- neer, being engaged chiefly in timber and lumbering opera- tions, clearing the land, and in farming. He also spent some years lumbering in the Western Peninsular, chiefly in the vicin- ity of Parkhill. One of his close associates in that enter- prise was the late John T. Cro- zier, afterwards of Glen Major. Returning to Reach, he mar- ried Miss Amelia Claughton,and commenced farming on the pro- perty known as the Cassie place on the 6th concession. Leaving this place, he took a farm on the 7th concession of Scott Township, which he work- ed in partnership with his bro- ther-in-law, Francis Ward. His next farming venture was on lot 9 in the 7th con. of Reach, where he resided for about 30 years, and in that time transformed a rough and weedy wilderness into one of the neatest and best appointed farms in the district. Some fourteen years ago, his son, Mr. E. Blight, took over the farm, and the subject of this sketch retired to another farm of his a mile north of Epsom. Feeling somewhat the weight of years, he gave up active farm operations a short time ago, and since that time has spent his days usefully, but in a more liesurely way. : He was in quite his usual health until Tuesday night, the 12th inst., when a siezure of paralysis occurred, from which, two days later, he passed away. Mr. Blight was a Liberal in politics, served on the School Board, and in other offices, but was never an aspirant for public honors. He and his family have been steady suporters of the Church and Social interests of the com- munity. \ Perhaps the outstanding fea- ture of our late friend's charac- ter may be said to be a dee sense, of his obligation to his fel- lows. As one who resided near him for almost thirty years, the writer can testify to his neigh- borly kindness, and ready will- ingnes to be a friend in need. Those who remain to mourn his ing are his wife, his son Ewart, a his daughters, Mrs. thesda. Ree ' The interment took pe Uxbridge Cemetery afternon, August 17th, and poly to Jno.
