The latest to take his departure was Mr. W.P. Crossley, who died on Saturday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jamea Bowler, in Detroit. iMr. Crossley was in his 82nd year. This last fall, Mr. and Mrs. Crossley went to de- troit to spend the winter. Becom- ing very weait, four weeks ago de- ceased took to his bed and gradually sank until his spirit took its flight on Saturday. The remains arrived at this station on Monday and were taken direct to the Baptist church, where service was conducted at 2 p.m! by Rev. Wolstencroft, the pastor, who preached a most comforting sermon from revelations 14â€"13: "And I heard a voice from heaven which said, write; blessed are the dead which die' in the Lord from henceforth." j Mr. Crossley, was bom in Belfast' Ireland, and came to Canada with his parents when quite young, where they settled at Meaford. After residing there for three years, both his par ents were drowned in the Bighead River at the same time. The child- ren were adopted by friends, one of them being the late Mrs. James Sul- livan. A few years later Mr. Crossley came to Plesherton and worked for the late Solomon Damude in the old tannery until the tanning business was given up. Later he took over the bus line and for a good many years carried the mail and pasengers from the station, handing over his business in later years to the late Wm. Moore. Fifty-seven years ago this coming April 10th, Mr. Crossley married Miss Charlotte Spiker of Osprey township, by whom there were three sons and four daughters. The younerest, Joseph, died when nine montI>s of age. The other sons are Will of St. Thomas and Charles of Toronto. The daughters are Ethel, (Mrs. W. Bentham), Toronto; Alberta (Mrs. James Bowler) Detroit; Wilda (Mrs. Harry Quigg) Harriston; and Millie; (Mrs. George Cairns) of Win- nipeg. A mass of beautiful flowers cov- ered the bier.
