On Tuesday, April 1, the re- mains were taken to Salem church where a itne sermon was delivered by Rev. Jos. narrower of Flesherton, who took as his text that beautiful "but definite statement in the Book of John, where Christ speaks, saying, "In my Father's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a nlace for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Interment took place in Salem cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs.
