    Died:
    Code
    In Drummond on Mon. May 19, 1890, Mr. James Code, aged 73 years.

    Silently the shade of evening
    Gather round our silent door, Silently they bring before us
    A face that we shall see no more
    Oh, not lost, but gone before us
    Let him never be forgot
    Sweet his memory be lovely
    In our hearts he perish not.

    We regret to record the death of an old and respected resident Mr. James Code of Drummond who passed away on Monday morning May 19th, at an advanced age of 73. He was born in the County of Wexford Ireland in the year 1817 and emigrated to this country with his parents when but eight months old. His parents were about some of the first settlers of Drummond. They then took up land on what is now called fourth Con. Drummond but was then an entire wood, through many hardships as was known in them early days. He worked along with his parents while helping to clear and till the land until the year 1842 he married one of Irelands fair daughters Miss Eliza Bailey and settled down for himself on a farm on the third line which he remained up to the time of his death.

    He had a family of 12 children five of whom dies in early childhood and seven of whom still remain to mourn his loss toghether with his sorrowing widow.

    In religion he was a methodist from his early childhood which he always upheld and sustained. And in May 19th peacefully passed away after a lengthy illness of five months.

    The Methodist Minister Mr. Henderson preached his funeral sermon taking as his text part of the XC Psalm.
