Yesterday there passed away one of the early settlers in the person of Mrs. Mary Reed, wife of the late Nathaniel Reed, of Glanford. She was born on Feb. 1, 1807, in Suffolk county, England, and was married on May 20, 1828, to her late husband, with whom she lived for nearly 64 years, until death parted them. They sailed for Canada in May, 1830, cleared their spot and erected their shanty in the gore of Toronto, county of Peel. The roof was of bark, the chimney of sticks and mud, the door was completely built of wood without screw or nail. This in time gave place to a log house, and it in turn to a brick one. They sold the farm, which had increased in value from a government grant to $72 per acre, in 1855, and moved to Glanford, living a retired life and enjoying the fruits of their hard labour until Mr. Reed died in April, 1892. Mrs. Reed then removed to her youngest daughter’s home in Saltfleet, where she died. She became a member of the Methodist church in 1837, and lived the life of a devoted Christian up to the time of her death. Many will long remember her Christian character and cherish in their hearts a kindly feeling towards her for the loving advice which she often gave. She leaves two daughters and one son to mourn for her, two sons and two daughters having gone before. As she said, “I have more of the family to welcome me on the other shore than to mourn for me here.”

Railway station at 2:30 pm sharp, leaving Reservoir for return at 3:10. Friends will please accept this intimation.

In the death of Wm. Calder, of the reservoir, the city has lost an old and faithful employee. It is but fitting that the city hall flag should fly at half mast in respect to the memory of a man who has for so many years done his duty so satisfactorily. Mr. Calder died early Thursday evening, and the sad news telephoned to the city was a double shock, for none of his friends even knew that he had been seriously ill. To a surgical operation on Saturday last is attributed his death. This was performed at the house, and after it was over he was left in a much weakened condition. His wife and daughters did not, however, think his condition was serious until Thursday, when he became unconscious, and shortly after five o’clock life left his pain-racked frame.

Mr. Calder was born in Cummingstone, Aberdeenshire, on Feb. 14, 1829, and was therefore 66 years old. He came to Canada in 1851, serving with Kerr & McKenzie, dry goods merchants of London, until 1859, when he was appointed to the position he occupied at the time of his death. When he came to the reservoir premises everything was wild and uncultured. With an eye for the beautiful, Mr. Calder planned and worked, finally transforming the rough, natural ground into the beautiful spot it is today. Two years after coming to Canada Mr Calder wedded his present wife. The widow and 9 children survive him. Of the six daughters two are married - Mrs. W. Shand, of Toronto, and Mrs. James Gilfilland, of Biddulph. Two of the three sons are also married, William, living at Dundas, and John at Winona. Another daughter - Annie - is a teacher in the Toronto schools. One brother and one sister survive - Mrs. Munro and James Calder, of Elora. Mr. Calder was a Reformer in politics. Coming from Aberdeenshire, he was much interested in Lord Aberdeen, the present governor-general, during his summer stay in Hamilton.

SMITH (Binbrook, Ont.) - A most horrible accident, resulting in the instant death of Adam Smith and the frightful mutilation of his body, occurred early yesterday afternoon at D. DeGear’s sawmill in Binbrook township. Smith, an old man, many years a resident at Taylor’s Corners, Barton township, went over to the mill early in the afternoon to borrow a horse. He had been a sawmill hand himself in his earlier days, and while at the mill began showing how things were done in his day, taking the saw boards from the circular saw table. He was taking the third board off when the accident happened that cost him his life.

Those who stood near say the old man, instead of facing the saw and drawing the board off as he walked backwards, turned his back to the saw and drew the board along under his arm. The board caught somewhere in the saw, pulling back, and the old man was thrown on his back directly on the rapidly revolving saw teeth. The machinery was quickly stopped and he was lifted from the table, literally cut in two. The body was hastily put in a box and taken by DeGear and an employee named French to Deputy Reeve Theobald’s house. Mr. Theobald drove to the city and notified Dr. Philp, coroner, who decided that an inquest was not necessary.

Smith was 74 years old and leaves a widow and grown-up family. The funeral will take place on Saturday morning at ten o’clock.

No blame is attached to anyone, the affair being purely accidental.

Archdale Wilson and several of his employees swore that Mr. Briggs bought four ounces of chloral on the afternoon of the day of his death, saying it was for a country customer of his father’s firm.

On Saturday afternoon, the first of these this season occurred in the Desjardines Canal about four o’clock. A number of boys and young men had gone in swimming below the railway bridge at the end of York street Among them was Charles Grant a young employee of the Howell Lithographing Company. His brother, Fred Grant and Charles Longhurst, were also with the party. Charles, while swimming about, suddenly commenced to call out and sank. For some moments the other boys thought he was playing a joke on them and they did not realize that he really needed assistance until he failed to reappear within a reasonable time. Longhurst went to his assistance and the drowning boy caught him by the leg and nearly pulled him under. Everything possible was done to reach the body but the water was deep and they could not find it. About six o’clock yesterday morning John Buscombe, Wm. Hindman, and Joseph Reid began grappling for the body and three hours later discovered it. The arms and legs were drawn up and contracted in such a way as to plainly indicate that the unfortunate youth had been seized with cramps before sinking. The deceased was about 17 years of age and was the son of Thos. Grant , Carpenter, 18 Magill street. Coroner Philp visited the scene of the accident yesterday but did not think it necessary to hold an inquest.

RODEHOUSE - Over two months ago, a girl named Kate Rodehouse, whose home is near Caledonia, went to the city hospital and there gave birth to a child. The young woman was apparently friendless, about 18 years of age and unattractive in appearance. When dismissed, she went out in the streets with her child, lonely and deserted. For her baby she found a home at the house of a man named Bielby on Steven street, they agreeing to take it in and she agreeing to pay so much every week for its maintenance. But while the Bielby’s kept their part of the bargain, the girl did not keep hers and for some weeks she provided not a cent for its keep. Then after the Steven street people had consulted the police in the matter and some action had been taken, the mother , about ten days ago, came and took the child away.

The circumstances being known to the police when the dead baby was found on the mountainside on Sunday evening, suspicion naturally rested on the Rodehouse girl. The Bielbys positively identified the child as that of Kate Rodehouse.

Life was extinct.

The rope, which was considerably larger than a clothes line, had been drawn tightly but had not cut the flesh. The body was cut down and Dr. J. B. Campbell held an inquest.

Friends and acquaintances kindly accept this intimation.

Patrick B. Hennessey, one of the most expert locksmiths in Canada, died here yesterday of Bright’s disease after a long illness. He was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1845, and came to Hamilton with his parents the following year. He learned the trade of locksmith and became very expert in the business, it being claimed that he could pick the lock of almost any safe or vault in existence. He had plenty of opportunity to display his ability in this respect, for whenever a safe lock got out of order, or a bank time lock refused to open at the proper hour, Mr. Hennessey was summoned to open the receptacle of wealth, and never once failed to do so. His services were in demand all over this part of the province. It is claimed that he originated the idea of the time lock nearly twenty years ago. It has often been remarked that, possessing such peculiar ability in his business, Mr. Hennessey might have turned it to account in making himself wealthy had he ever yielded to the temptation to use his experience in an improper way, but he was a man of sterling honesty and integrity, and, though not overburdened with this world’s goods, he would have scorned the idea of enriching himself by other than legitimate means.

The deceased leaves a family of seven - two of whom are grown up. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 8:30 from St. Joseph’s church.

He at once called in a doctor, who gave it as his opinion that she had been dead for some hours and that heart failure was the trouble.

There was nobody in the house at the time and nobody heard the report of the gun. Mrs. Fawcett, who had been in the neighbour’s house, was the first to discover the awful deed.

Fawcett was a man who had lived about the county for forty years and was well known in Peel ans West York.
