Mr. Pedlar was also mus- ically inclined and his vocal contri- butions, particularly Negro melodies, added spice and variety to many an entertainment.

Dean, pastor of the Holiness Workers' church, Feversham. officiated at the house and graveside, and his message was a soui-ce of comfort to the ber- eaved. A beautifully rendered duet, "I Want to See Him," by Rev. and! Mrs. Dean added much to the senti ment of the occasion. The remains, were interred in Salem burial ground beside those of his wife, who pre- deceased him by nearly four years. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Jacob Williams. John Porteous.
