Dies At Owen Sound FEVERSHAM tin. Gorley, whose maiden name was Euphemia Ritchie, was bom in what was then the little village of Whitby, away back in the eariy pioneer days of the township of Pick- ering, 82 years ao-o, and where all her happy girlhood days were spent and where she lived with her parents, sharing the hardships and the con- tentment of those early days of which she so often loved to talk. In the year 1861 she married Robert Gorley, also of the town of Whitby, and to them were bom ten children. After spending twenty-five years of farm life in Pickering, they moved to Eugenia some thirty-eight yearg. agi) aiiu setueu'on'tne farm now occupied by their son, Robert. After the death of Mr. Gorley some eighteen years ago, Mrs. Gorley moved with her three sons to the farm known as the Richard Genoe farm, where she resided until this spring, when she bought a home in the village and had just got conjfortably settled when the last long call came and she passed on to her great reward on October 9. Mrs. Gorley leaves to mourn the loss of a devoted mother three sons and three davighters: Mrs. Collins of Newmarket, Mrs. S. W. Sloan of To- i ronto, Mrs. Stoba also of Toronto, Robert in the homestead and William and James at home. Three sons, John, Norman and Rheuban and one daughter, Susan, predeceased her. There are also ten grandchildren and nine great-gn^-andchildren. The funeral, which took place to Salem cemetery from the late resi- dence of Mrs. Gorley on Saturday, October 11th, was largely attended by friends and neighbors who gathered to pay their tribute of respect to one who was highly respected and who will be greatly missed by the older residents of the community. The pallbearers were Robert and George Gorley, three nephews George, Will and Ira Orvis of Shelbume and Wesley Cooey. The floral offerings covering the casket were beautiful, they being a wreath from the family, wreath from George Gorley, wreath from Campbell family, wreath from Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Park, pillow from Mrs. Latimer, Mrs. Munshaw and Mrs. Large, and a wreath from Mrs. Miller of Shelbume.

Orvis and son, and Mrs. Miller and two daughters of Shelbume; Mr. and Mrs. George Gorley and daugh- ters of Markdale; Mrs. Collins, New- market; Mrs. Stoba and Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Sloan, Toronto.

Passes Away After A Lengthy Illness ^ Gloom was cast over the commuinty when it was learned this Monday moming that Mrs Albert W^illiams had passed away at the home of her father, Mr. Thos. Howard, of Owen Sound. Mrs Williams had been in failing health for some time and had gone to Owen Sound in the early spring that she might receive special treatment, and although everything was done thai skill and loving hands could do, she passed away at the early age of twenty-five years. Always a favor- ite with the young people and highly respected by all who knew her, her passing is keenly felt by the commun- ity. Previous to her marriage five years ago she was in the employ of Graham Bros, for some time, where she always gave cheerful and untir- ing service. She leaves to mourn her loss her sorrowing husband and one little son, two years of age, mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Howard, three brothers and two sisters. One sister, Mrs. Jas. Ferris, and one brother, Johnston, who paid the su- preme sacrifice in the great war, have passed on before. The funeral, which will take place on Wednesday of this week from the home of her parents in Owen Sound to Eugenia Presbyterian church, after which interment will take place at Salem. The community extends its deepest sympathy to the family and especially the young husband and babe in their hour of great sorrow. Attended Contest At Flesherton Saturday A number from here attended the public speaking contest which was held in Flesherton High School for the prize given by Miss A. C. McPhail for public speaking for public school children of the county, and was greatly enjoyed by those who were there. Though our little candidate, Irene Martin, was not successful in carrying off first prize we feel sure she bids fair to excelling herself next year. This is a splendid opportunity for the boys and girls which should be encouraged by parents and public school teachers, and it is a scheme we believe Miss McPhail intends organ- izing and carrying out each year in connection with the school fairs.
