Born in Charlottetown, a son of the lute George P. Tanton and his wife, Elizabeth Duchemin Tanton, the deceased resided hem all his life. For over thirty-five years he iconducted a watch-making and ' jewellery business. His early train- f ing he acquired with the old firm

of W. W. Wellner. In all his busi- ness dealings he was known for his industry and integrity. and also for his genial disposition which won him a host of friends among all and parilcularl among the young- er generation lln whom he took s special interest.

Mr. Tanton was a charter mem- ber of the Sons of England and ,was also long associated with the ,t0dd Fellows, in which order he rhelcl a much-prized 25 year jewel. ‘In the activities of both these or- ganizations he was keenly inter-

THE REV. W. M. TOWNSEND, M.A., D-D.

There passed ewav in the Prince Edward Island Hospital yesterday, [after along and trying illness, borne Wit-h true christian iurti. rude, the Reverend William Mc. Neill Townsend. M.A., D_D,, who came to reside in this city some two years ago, ,

Dr. TOWILSCITC although p, modes; ,8ll(l unassuming man, was one o; the best-known and mp5; highly esteemed ministers of 1.11s Mayjtimg Synod of thc Presbyterian Church In Canada. He was an Islander, 1mm 76 years a-co at Traveller's Jiflfit. where he got his initial 59110011111; From there he entered Prince of Wales college. and after uradillttlng there he taught school Iur some time Freetown and Summerside.

Hal/mi decided to devote his life to the exercise of the Christian nunistry he entered McGlll Uni- iersly taking the degree o; M“- ter of Arts after a. distinguished coilrsc. Hi5 Divinttv curriculum W118 taken in the Presbyterian College, Montreal. iron-i which p9 gfgfluafgd with equal bl-llllancy, He was m. dainecl to the office of the Holy Mini-ill?! at Bass River, New Bruns. wick. and retrieved from there m the pastorate of Saint. Columbus Church. Fair-ville. s. surburib o! 511M John. where he remained, in a fruitful ministry a: thirty years, until his retirement tzwo years ago.

Dr._Townsend was e scholar n1 the first rank. and to the end of ills life kcpr. abreast of all that went. on ln student circlcs. His 1112c library was the index of a mind fllWBY-i interested in literary, and r\~.ecially theological, dgvelgp- merit». of thought. He had s friend- iv and Winsome personality, 5nd was so beloved of the citizens of Ffiirvillfi’. both within and outside oi his own communion, that. he was Doplllttfly known as "Father" Townsend. His services to the Church at large can never be for- gotten. He travelled 1a,;- and wide, and never spared himself in her interests.

In recognition of his high gifts of scholarship and his labors for the Church, the Presbyterian Gol- lego of Montreal conferred upon him in 192i] the high distinction of the degree of Doctor of Divinity. To all ivho knew him. and par- tlulllvill‘ to those who enjoyed the Dtlvilege of his personal friend- 5111].), his life and character will remain an impulse and example or lofty Christian service.

He leaves to mourn, two sisters. Miss Albcnte. E. and Miss Amy M, Pleasant Street and with whom he resided. ‘

A younger brother, also a. min- ister of the Presbyterian Chin-ch predeceased him some years ago.
