Dec.18,p.3:Arthur McCarston - Arthur McCarston, a widely known resident of this district, answered life's last call at the home of Mrs. William Lundy, First St., on Tuesday, December 9th, passing to the Great Beyond after a compratively short illness. The late Mr. McCarston, who was 75 years of age, was a native of County Carlow, Ireland. When he was a child his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James McCarston came to Canada, settling in the vicinity of Streetsville, where they lived for 13 years. About 60 years ago they moved to Mono, first settling on lot 26 on the Centre Road and later moving to the west half of lot 21, cont. 3, east, a short distance north of Mono Centre. Here the subject of our sketch spent the greater part of his life, leaving his farm only two or three years ago to live in Orangeville. He was unmarried and of a family of two brothers and four sisters, one sister, Mrs. Mary McCabe, is the sole survivor. Genial, humourous and an interesting talker, the late Mr. McCarston had a large circle of acquaintances. He was a shrewd and successful business man, had large land and mortgage holdings and was reputed to be one of the wealthy men of Dufferin. Although dealing extensively in mortgages, he had the reputation of being very lenient with unfortunate debtors.

The late Mr. McCartson was a regular attendant at the Orangeville monthly fairs, particularly the March fair. A few years ago he informed The Banner that he had attended fifty-three March fairs, without a miss. Although not certain on this point, we are of the opinion that this record remained unbroken. Mr McCarston had spent several winters in Florida and his letters to local newspapers on conditions in the south were always worth reading. Flordia realtors lost no opportunity of pointing out to him the golden opportunities to make big money in the south, but his native shrewdness and suavity enabled him to match the wiles of the salesman and it is not recored that he was presuaded to invest.
