Thurston & Son, P«oprietorfl Chaired When They Left Kimberley Previous to their removal from Kimberley to the farm near Flesher- ton, Mr. and Mrs. Hadden Hutchin- son and Mr. Thomas Hutchinson were waited upon at their home on Mon- day evening if last week, March 12, by representetives of the church and community, and presented with ad- dresses accompanied by gifts â€" to Mr. and Mrs. Hadden Hutchinson two rocking chairs, and to Mr. Thomas Hutchinson an easy chair and hymn book. Following are the addresses: Mr .Thomas Hutchinson: Dear Mr. Hutchinson, â€" Having learned that you are about to move from our community to another, we are made aware of a vacancy that we are to experience by your absence from among us. At this time we recall the many pleasant associations we have had together as neighbors, friends and fellow members of the church. We have appreciated your kindness and your readiness to be a good neigh- bor. You have been genial in spirit, lived in this community for many years, joining in its activities, and interesting yourself in the communi- ty's welfare. We bear in mind espec- ially* to-night the fact that you have been a member of the church and of the official board of the church for nearly a quarter of a century. Since our church became a part of the great United Church of Canada, our con- gregation honored you in electing you to the office of Elder. That itself was an expression of our respect and love for you and our recognition that you were much interested in the spir- itual life of our community. You have used your influence tg streng- then the forces in the community laboring for its best moral, social and spiritual welfare. You have identi- fied yourself with the church in its great work, particularly in its service to our community. The members of the Board have appreciated your teg- Blar attendance at its meetings and your willingness to bear some of its burdens. It is because of our remem- brance of these things, and of our pleasant associations, that we come this evening to enjoy your presence and that of the other members of this home. We also desire to give you some expression of our respect and love for you, and our regtet that you are leaving us. While we know that our loss will be others' gain, we will feel the vacancy that your removal will make. We would not forget our associations with you. We will fol- low you with our interest and prayers that you be happy in your new com- munity and will be able to streng- then the new church honie. We will ask you to accept from us these tok- ens of our esteem, and that in your new home it will often recall to your memory the pleasant abode that you have had with us. Yours on behalf of the friends and members of the United Church of Canada in Kimberley. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson, Mrs. Ward and Sarah: Your friends and neighbors have gathered to-night to express their re- gret that you are leaving the neigh- borhood and going to make your home elsewhere. Hadden, you have been a lifelong resident here, and we all know you to be a jolly good chap, a good neighbor and a loyal friend. Your worthy wife has also won her way into our hearts by her kindly manner. To you, Mrs. Ward, and to your daughter, we say that we regret very much your leaving our midst. While your kindness among us was saddened by the loss of a loving hus- band and father, and a dear mother, these afflictions seem to draw us closer together in friendship. We know vou will gather to yourselves new friends, and while we know you do not need anything to keep us in your minds, we ask you to accept these eifts as a slight token of our feelings towards you all. Signed on behalf of the friends you leave behind â€" Ralrih Stafford. Russell Ward, Andy Fawcett, Arnold Lawrence.

On Thursday .March 15th, 1928 there peacefully passed away at her home in Eugenia, the beloved wife of Mr. Jos. Sherwood in her 7.3rd year. She was suddenly seized with an illness somewhat similar to a stroke on Saturday, March 3rd, and owing to the weakened condition of her heart did not gain much strength; pneumonia set in and in the end prov- ed _fatal. She bore her sicknass with great Christian fortitude. The deceased, whose maiden name was Miss Sarah Ann Hawkins, was bom in Mariposa township. When only a few months old, she came with her parents to reside on the 8th line Artemesia, where she spent her girl- hood days. In 1882 she married Mr. •Jos. Sherwood of Eugenia. .A.fter their marriage they took up residence for some time on a farm (now owned by Mr. S. Smart) on the 3rd line of Euphrasia. Later they moved to the vicinity of Rock Mills, Artemesia. In 1919 they retired to the village of Eugenia, having purchased a fine brick residence there.

One sister, Mrs. Wm. '' 'ig- eohn of Collingwood died about 5 yrs. ago.
