On Monday, January 13, there passed into a fuller life a much beloved and respected resident of Clayton Village, in the person of Mr. John McMunn. Born at Clayton about 73 years ago Mr. McMunn, ate the age of fourteen, learned the trade of a blacksmith with Mr. R. McCoy of Clayton. After serving his term of three years he went to Minneapolis, which was a small mill town at that time, where he secured employment with a lumber company as their mechanic. The work consisted of keeping everything in repair, shoeing horses and even the oxen, which were used quite extensively in hauling heavy timber. When the Canadian Pacific Railway called for skilled labour to assist in building the now famous road through the Rocky Mountains, Mr. McMunn was one of the many who volunteered his services. Some found the work congenial and remained through until the road was completed, while others returned home after a short experience of railroad work. This was one of Mr. McMunn's happiest moments, as time passed, to recall incidents concerted with the work of the C.P.R., and he could recall many amusing and interesting experiences, especially the reception given them by the wild Indians. He remained with the company until the last spike was driven, enjoying the work, and the life of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Later he purchased a farm at Cashel, North Dakota, where he was married in 1901 to Miss Estella Huffman. After making his home there for a number of years he returned to Clayton in 1907 and purchased the farm, on which his son now resides, from Mr. Oswald Bowland. In 1922, Mr. McMunn retired from active work, his health not being the best and purchased a home in Clayton village, where he and Mrs. McMunn and daughter Ellen, have resided until the time of his death. The end came suddenly as the result of a paralytic stroke on the previous Wednesday. The funeral took place from his home on Wednesday, January 15, to St. George's Paris Church, and thence to the churchyard, where he was laid to rest in ground adjoining the farm where he had worked for so many years. The funeral service was one of the most largely attended ever witnessed in the vicinity. Mr. McMunn was a great lover of home, the best of friends and neighbors, and one who endeared himself to all. Simple and God fearing in his life, he was almost never absent from his seat in Church, and regular in his attendance at the altar. He will be very greatly missed in the village and community, among his large circle of friends, for whom he was always willing to do a good turn, and in his Church which he loved and served as well. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, his daughter Ellen, and his son Fraser, each of whom have the deepest sympathy of the community.

McLean, and Miss Margaret MacFarlane, all of Ottawa; Col. P. J. Mackie and many other friends from Pembroke; Mr. William Baird, Carleton Place. Rev. Mr. McCracken said in part: "I want to hold up before you the life sized portrait of a good woman, as it is sketched for us by the pen of Solomon, believing that you will see in this picture a striking likeness of Mrs. MacFarlane, an ideal to which any young woman would do well to aspire, a woman of which any man could be justly proud, a mother whose children will rise up and call blessed. The inspired writer says four things of this good woman all of which can be said of our departed sister. She was industrious. As a result of her work a home is purchased, a vineyard is bought. Is not this beautiful home in which we are met today the product of a woman's toll as much as the reward of a man's industry? Such homes make a man independent of the grog shop, the club, or the street corner, the seat of the scorner. Mrs. MacFarlane loved her household tasks, refusing to be idle, even when strength was failing. She died practically in harness. She had the characteristic of hospitality. While these neighbours could tell you of the unnumbered acts of kindness and love, one by this best of women in the most unostentatious way. Through all the years of her devoted life, so that we hear on every hand such testimonies as these "The best woman in Canada." "There is only one Aunt Janet" "other's could tell you of the wonderful home in which she was reared, where the heartiest welcome always awaited you, a home where friends always met on the great holidays of the year, and where worshippers could always get a good meal on the Sabbath, I would like to add my own word and bear my own testimony to many kind acts and loving deeds. "This good, woman was faithful to her marriage vows. For well nigh half century has our lamented friend fulfilled the good opinion which must have been held of her, when she came to her husband's home, encircled with the glamour of early love. With kindness, fortitude and dignity has she ministered to the needs of husband and daughters, making the home a place of contentment, a haven of rest. "She was a pious woman. She loved her Church and was always willing to help in any way towards her prosperity. She was not among the company of those who forsake the assembling of themselves together." It was with a feeling of real home sickness did she pine to be in her solemn assemblies and take her part in the praise Service of the House of God. Especially did she covet a place at, our last Communion Service. Looking back upon a long useful life of health and happiness, she could say with the Psalmist, "Surely Goodness and Mercy have followed me all the days of my life." With good faith she could also look forward to the future and say, "I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

Of late years he suffered from rheumatism and a gradual decline in strength, brought on by a severe attack of influenza in 1918. He suffered his pain in silence however, waiting patiently for release. Around the hundred year old doorway of the old home a thousand and one signatures bear mute testimony of the many friends who passed that way during his long life. He enjoyed talking with people on any subject, but his favorite topic was politics, he being a staunch Conservative and a strong supporter of that body. The funeral services were held from St. George's Church, Clayton, Rev. J. W. R. Meakin officiating. The minister delivered a beautiful sermon and spoke of the high respect in which the deceased was held by all who knew him.
