FLESHERTON Weekly Crop Report Farmers throughout Ontario arti elated at the higher prices being paid for hogs and a still further increase is prophesied owing to the scarcity The farmer who continued iir the hog business will now reap the benefit ol his good judgment. There is a large demand for one-day-old chirks in most parts of the province. Beneficial rains for winter wheat and clovers have fallen recently in many parts of the province. Roads are soft and high- way officers in numerous counties are enforcing the half-load regulation on trucks. Considerable activity in pre paration for spring work is noticed everywhere and farmers in Kent County report injury to new seedings of clover. Warm rains have helped in Lincoln county to revive wheat, al- falfa and clover fields. Some cars of certified seed potatoes are coming into Middlesex and there is more than usual interest in soy beans. A big increase in number of old orchards being pruned and sprayed this year is noted in .Welland. Hog prices reach- ed SG.OO per cwt. Breeders' reports in Durham indicate some flocks of sheep showing close to 200 per cent lamb production. The subject of this sketch was the fourth son of Robert Henderson and Fanny Watson Henderson, who emi- ;?rated from the County of Tyrone Ireland, abut 110 years ago. On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 21)th, 1933, he suffered from an attack ol paralysis, tke effect of which he did not i-eeover and he died on the morn- ing of April 3rd. He wad born at Laskay in North York on the 27th day of February, 1853 and when he was two years of age the family moved to a bush farm in the Township of Artemesia, five miles south-east of Flesherton. When he was only eight years of age the family suffered a great loss in the accidental dealh of his father, upon whom a log fell while he wa:; as.iist- ing at the raising of a log bam, two miles from his home. Only those who experience a loss such as this can realize the dar'.; .'. : ' "scouraging outlook for a widow and family of nine almost helpless children. After some years of privation and hardship but absolute harmony in the home, this noble widow lived to see hei six stalwart sons and three amiable daughters all happily marrier and fill- ing honorable positions in the city and community of their choice of place of residence. His early education was received at the log school house in the neighbor- hood, and at the age of ten years he secured a position with a man by the name of Casper Sullivan, who kept a small store at Dunedin, Ont. He left home with his mother's blessing and all his belongings in a calico handker- chief and travelled 23 miles, arriving in time for supper and after a sound sleep started in business the next morning. He did not find his duties arduous and performed his work to the fullest satisfaction of Casper, whom he found to be a very congenial boss. To his great surprise every month when pay-day came around Casper insisted on him accepting more than he agreed to give him. He served Mr. Sullivan for one year when he decided to go to school again and started to attend the school on the Meaford Road, now known as Vandeleur, where his eldest brother, the late J. ,W. Henderson of Toronto was teaching. He attended his brother's school the greater part oi two years, when he passed the Ent ranee examination, qualifying him to enter the high school, which he did in Collingwood, graduating as a public [ school teacher at mid-summer in I 187.'). He immediately began teach- I ing at Maple Valley and taught until the end of the year, when he engaged to teach the Feversham school which he taught for three years vi'ith marked success. He then engaged to teach a school in Tossoronto Township, two miles from Alliston. .A.fter teaching that school for two years he' was persuaded to take the headmas- tership of Alliston Public School, which position he held with wonder- ful success for five years, when he re- tired from the teaching profession to enter the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, from which he graduated with honors, standing at the head of the graduating class and winning the gold medal in 1883, taking the degree of L.D.S. and in 1889 the degree of D.D.S. and in 1891 the degree of M. D.S. from the University of Toronto. He began the practice of dentistry in Alliston and after a year he moved to Toronto, where he had a large and lucrative practice. For a number of years he was associated with the Fac- ulty of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons as lecturer in the depart- ment of Anaesthetics and Exondon- tia. He retired 25 years ago. He ed by the pastor, Rev. W. J. Scott Dr. Fred W. Murray sang an appro- priate tenor solo. The Masonic Order then took charge of the service, led by AVor. Bro. F. H. W. Hickling, acting aa Worshipful Master. The honorary pallbearers were five nephews of the diiceased. Dr. Edgai W. Paul, Dr. Fred W. Murray, W Ivan Henderson, Eddie Henderson, Annour Carson and Andrew Kyle, brother-in-law. The active pallbear- ers were members of Prince Arthur Lodge, Flesherton: Thos. Clayton, W. Morton, Geo. Mitchell, John Wright, \. Gilchruit and W. J. Bellamy. The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful among them being wi-eaths from the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association, Den*al Association and St. Andrews Lodge. Friends from a distance were: Mrs. Jos. Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Oonala Fletcher of Collingwood, Mr. and Mrs, James Fletcher of Ravenna, Mrs. John Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Long, John Speers and sisters of Feversham, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Carson of Pi-oton Station, Mrs. Mabel Echlin, son and daughter of Thornhill, Mrs. John Watson of Laskay, Ont., Mrs. Craw- ford of Sarnia, Miss Shirley Murray and Wm. Hemphill of Toronto, besides the immediate relatives. If you are asking, "What's the u|ie?" it means that you are in dan- ger of allowing your life to become useless. The world is largely a re- flection of ourselves. **Never mind â€" we'll soon fix that" Mrs. Hendry was in great dis- tress. She had broken her 'spec- tacles and the prescription was at the optician's In the dty. "That means I can't go to the social tomorrow night," she said. "Whatever will I do?" For 30 cents you can telephone about lOOmUes by making an "any- one" call (station- to-station) after 8.30 p.m. See list of rates in front of directory. "Don't worry," Tom Hendry consoled her.

He was a true son of an amiable and much- beloved mother and her religious in- struction and gentle guidance meant much to him. He was a friend ot the poor, especially the aged and de- pendent ones. He was a congenial companion; a man greatly beloved for his saintly Christian character; an act- ive church and Sunday School worker, more especially in his younger man- hood and for years was associated with Sherbourne St. United Church. In 1904 he was married to Miss Florence Watson, an estimable young lady of Kirkton, Ontario. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, one daughter, Helen, at home, one sister, Mrs. John Paul of Feversham, two brothers, Samuel Henderson and Dr Robert H. Henderson of Toronto.
