    There passed away at his home, 6th line Bathurst, on Tuesday Feb. 11th, after an illness of almost a years duration, James S. Blair, aged 65 years. Deceased was a son of the late John Blair, one of the early settlers in the Bathurst township and was born on the 6th line of Bathurst, where he resided ever since. In 1873 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Cameron, daughter of the late Ewen Cameron of Bathurst.

    Mr. Blair was one of nature's noble men, being of a bright and cheerful disposition, he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. He was an ideal husband and father, and the memory of his sweet manly personality and sincere christian life will not soon be forgotten. His intellectual abilities were of a high order, and although his was a busy life, he was always interested in and kept himself informed regarding the current events and literature of the day. He lived a quiet, unostentatious life, each day of which was a testimony of the Master he loved, and a revelation of the christian faith he possessed. And although his sufferings were very great, he bore them patiently, calmly awaiting the end.

    Deceased was an Anglican in religion and a Conservative in politics. He leaves to mourn his loss besides his widow, six sons and two daughters: Ewen of Haileybury, John of Maberly, Herbert, Christie Lake, Cpl Wm. J. in England; Neil of Bathurst; and Robert on the farm. Mrs. W.J. Flemming and Mrs. Leslie Strong of Maberly are daughters. Also three brothers and two sisters survive: Robert of Perth, Hugh and John of Bathurst; and Neil, deceased. Mrs Andrew Gamble, Perth and Mrs. William Gamble, Matheson, New Ontario.

    The funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. H. E. Clarke, from his family residence to St. Stephen's church, where an impressive service was held and the remains were laid to rest in the family plot in Brooke cemetery. The pallbearers were his four sons and two sons-in-law. Much sypathy is extended to the sorrowing widow and family.
