Dobbin Object of Sympathy, Leaves $40,000 Streetsville, Sept. 11.--Circum- stances which have come to light within the last few days, follow- ing the death last Thursday at St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, of Rev. John S. Dobbin, who had been a resident of the village for two years, reveal a startling story rich in pathos. ; While his pathetic appearance | and apparent lack of means had {won the sympathy of the village { for the old-time Presbyterian min- | ister who had served on the 'mis- sion field of Western Canada, Rev. | Mr. Dobbin, it has been discovered, | was in possession of a fortune amounting to about $40,000, Among those who were most deeply touched by the evidence of the aged minister's loneliness ana need were members of St. Andrew's | Presbyterian Church, who with | their pastor, Rev. W. T., McCree, seized every opportunity to 'ease the burden. Alone in the world, as the village folk believed, the old minister's plight and the absence of comforts that bring happiness | to men in the twilight of life, urged {all who came in contact with nim to-show him.numerous - personal | kindnesses. Claimed Poverty A few months ago a pathetic re- bin to rent a couple of rooms in a house belonging to a certain citi- zen of his acquaintance, the request being accompanied by the informa- tion that he could only 'afford to pay a few dollars a month." A few weeks ago when the aged minister became confined to his bed, he protested against being taken to the hospital. When his consent was gained on Wednesday, a.

Money Hoard Found Immediately following his death, a search was made of the old min- ister's former room, to find if pos- sible some trace of kin. The search revealed not only that the deceased had living relatives, including a brother with considerable means, but that the apparently lonely and needy old man was the possessor of a fortune of about $40,000. Rolls of bills, as well as securities of large amounts, were found in old suit cases. Communication was made with the brother, who arranged for the interment of the aged minister in the family plot, only 100 miles dis- tant. It was learned that Rev. Mr. Dobbin was ordained. nearly 40 years ago in Regina. He had never married, but had interested him- self personally in the guardianship and education of an orphan niece. After leaving the. mission field in the Canadian Northwest, he spent several years in the United States.
