Although not very active for the past few years. he was able to be up and around the house every day. on Saturday afternoon, he oom- plslned of not feeling well, and although everything possible was done. he did not fully recover but passed peacefully away in his sleep early Sunday morning.

He was the eldest son of the late Angus and mime. (Hooper) Mecxensle and lived all his life on the old homestead in Cavendish by the sea. In 1909, he married Jennie A. Stevenson of New Glasgow.
