 belonged to a Cornish family. He came to Canada about thirty years ago, and at first 

 lived in Montreal. After a while he moved to Quebec, and for ten years was reporter 

 and proof-reader on the staff of the Morning Chronicle. He left newspaper employment 

 to accept the Government position of English translator in which he continued till his

 Ontario from its formation ; and his ready pen and ability as a journalist had often been 

 exercised in its favour. Before his bereavement his wit and good humour had added 

 greatly to the interest of the meetings of the branch. He was buried in M^qnt Hermon 

 Cemetery. TTW. F.
