The Late Jacob Williams Send in Your Renewal. (By |Mrs. C. H.

The late Jacob Allan Williams was bom in Eugenia and was one of a family of ten Ohildiren born to the late John and Mary ^(Isener) WiMiams, whose ancestors were Holland Dutch. When a lad of 15, he started learniing the blacksmithing, and for a number of years he was iwith. the late J. Heard and the late Daniel McTavish, both of Fleeherlon, Ibefore starting in his own business in Eugenia, He also worked in Waterloo for a time. He followed his tiiade for ift5 years, the last horse which he shod was in 'De- cember, 1948. Jake was an effiioient blacksmith, peopld coimirig from far and near to have their horses shod, as they knew they would have an Al job. iHe was a memiber of the Elrugenin United Ohurch choir and will be gi-eatly missed in that organization. He took part in quartettes, trios and duets in programs and sonie (people came from a dietauce "just to hear Jake sing." The late Mr. Wil/'lams iwas of a jovial disposition and had many friends. In the evenings of late years he liked to sit in the village stores and chat with tihe boys, telling stor- ies of by-gon days. Since the pass- ing of his wife a few years. ago, he has been practically livirxg alone, al- though he had apartments in his home rented to another family. At times during the past year or so he spent several weeks with his daugh- ter, AlUe (Mrs. Lehman) in Toronto, who eared for him when he was ill. There was no place to him like his home in Eugenia. During the past few weeks he resided at Highland Lodge at Priceville, where he sudden- ly passed away with a heart ailment on Tuesday, June 6th. He celebrated the 82nd anniversary of his birthday on May 8th of this year.

G. iMacipherson, the officiat- ing minister was Rev. L. W. Mould of Pniceville. We quote from his ser- mon Rev. Maopherson's tribute to the deceased: "Jake Williams, as most of us c'alled him, was a good friend and willing helper in any good eau.?c. Hi? contribution to the musical litfe of the chuiich will be rememlbered. His fine ba-ss voice was an asset to any choir and dt was freely used in God's praise as long as his health would permit. Older members of the community will remember him' as a good ball player, as well as a good blacksmith. He was a man of action and we are grateful that he was not called upon to linger long in his illness and loneliness." One o£ the hymns sung was "Albida With M!e," and the choir rendered the hymn "Saved by Grace," as deceased had mentioned it as one of the hymns he wished to be sung when he passed on.
