The death occurred at Anna- dsle on Easter Sunday. Apru 13,

the advsnced age of 91 years.

The late Mr. McFarlane born at Lower Montague in this Province on May 26. 131. the son of the late. Alexander and Janet (Johnston) Mcl-'as-lane.. t

In the year 187'! he came to Annsndals to reside with and as- sist his uncle the late James Johnstone in conducting a gen- eral merchandlse and farm pro- duce buslness. Later. upon the death of his uncle he became manager. Other business inter ests included a ' b t packing plant at Cape Spry, which he op- erated successfully. for many years.

He was a man blest with a wonderful physique, seldom, if ever. requiring the services of a physician until November 11, 1950. when he suffered a heart attack from which he recovered suffio iently to engage in light duties, until Wednesday, April, 9, 1952 when, while sitting reading the daily paper he suffered a severe stroke and passed away approx- imately four days later without regaining consciousness.

The late Mr. McFariane was a man with a very large number of friends of all classes and creeds. possessed with a very pleasing personality, a wide knowledge of world affairs and a keen sense of humor. all combined to make him an unusually interesting and pleas- ing conversationallst. He was a faithful friend and a kind oblig- ing neighbor. The almost invar- iable comment of his many friends when informed of his passing was "Weli! He was a gentleman". and is eloquently descriptive of the manner of man he was, and the treasure of esteem in which he was held. He was is prominent member of the Masonic Order, having been initiated into the membership of Orient Lodge No.

11 A.F. and A.M., Souris, on February 21. 1893. In his passing the "United

Church of Canada in Annandale. of which he was a faithful mem- ber. has been deprived of a pillar of strength. He filled the office of secretary-treasurer for many years and in the words of his min- ister. "Did his work faithfully and well."

i In politics he was a faithful sup- porter of the Liberal party to which he was always loyal. but never. to the point of narrowness. commending that which he con- sidered to be for the common good, and constructively criticiz- ing that with which he disagreed in all party politics.

On October 24. 1893. the Liberal party honored him by nominating him to contest the Georgetown district as the party's standard bearer in the provincial general election of that year. His oppon- ent was the late Honorable Dan- iel Gordon, Georgetown. The late Mr. McFarlane was unsuccessful by a very smallrgjiargin.

A tribute to his sense of justice and good judgment was his ap- pointment as a Justice of the Peace for King's County a num- ber of years ago.

The late Mr. Mcl-larlans was united in marriage with Emma Jane Jenkins, daughter of the late James G. Jenkins, Little Riv- er. Prince Edward Island, on February 9, 1887. The officiating clergyman was the late Rev. J. G. Cameron.

The sorrowing son and two daughters bereft of a kind and loving father are Alexander James i the old home and business stand a Annandala: Lillith Pearl (Mrs. William 3. Mills), Howe Bay. and Mary Edna (Mrs. Elby B. How- lett). Annandalc; one daughter. Janet Johnston (Mrs. Taylor Wood). predeceased him in 1943. There are also left to mourn 7 grandchildren and 4 great grand- children. The funeral service was held on April 15 and was very largely attended considering the almost impassable condition of the roads.

After a short service at the home, his remains were conveyed to the Annandale United Church of Canada where an impressive service was conducted by his min- ister, Lic. A. Brown. who deliv- ered a comforting message based on 1 Corinthians. chapter 15: verse

55: Oh! Death where is thy sting? Oh! Grave where is thy victory?" The hymns sung were.

"The Lord Is My Shepherd". "Rock of Ages", and "Forever With The Lord". A duet, "The Last Mile". was beautifully and sym- pathetically rendered by Messrs.
