Porterfield, Lake Avenue West on Wednesday of last week. Mr Dunlop was in his 90th year. The late Mr Dunlop was a man younger looking than his years and enjoyed good health until his illness which occurred on Saturday, October 28th. Up until that tie he was able to take his walks to the barber shop and enjoyed meeting and conversing with old and new friends whom he met from time to time. Mr Dunlop's passing is widely mourned by his friends throughout the whole district. Born In Scotland Born in Paisley Scotland, in 1855, a son of the late Mr and Mrs Andrew Dunlop, he came to Canada with his parents in 1870, and settled in Guelph, and later at Fergus, Ont.
