Of a family of ten children eight survive him: Dan in North Dakota; Rod in Vancouver; Jack in Halifax; Mrs. Charlie Crossman, Ipswich, Mass; Mrs. William Robins, Ipswich. Mass; Mrs. Ken Mosher, Brookline, Mass; Mrs. John C. MacKinnon and Miss Emma at home. There is also one brother John in Saskatchewan and one sister Margaret in Somerville. The funeral which was largely attended took place from his home Monday. After high Mass of requiem by his pastor, Rev. Donald Beaton, his remains were laid to rest in St. Columba cemetery. The pall bearers were Jerome MacNeil, Simon MacNeil, Joseph Macdonald, Donald Ring, Archibald MacLean, Colin MacDonald. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family, who will long cherish the memory of a loving husband, father and brother.
