May ?,p.?:Blayney McGuire - This week the Banner mourns the loss of its founder, Mr. Blayney McGuire, who passed away at Homewood, Guelph, about 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5th, at the age of 71 years. Starting The Banner in Jun 1893, Mr. McGuire had been actively identified with the management of this journal until January 25th last, when a sudden illness compelled him to relinquish his daily round of duties. After a couple of weeks his condition seemed to improve and his physicians held hope for his recovery. Unfortunately the improvement did not continue and during the last two weeks there had been a marked change for the worse. Death was due to hardening of the arteries aggravated by lesion of some of the smaller blood vessels of the head. Blayney McGuire was born in Orangeville on January 28th, 1860. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Blayney McGuire, who took up their abode in this town in the late 50's of the last century. His father was born near the town of Castleblaney in Ireland. After completing his public school education, Mr. McGuire decided to learn the printing business and took a position as apprentice with Fisher Munro, who was at that time publishing the Orangeville Advertiser. He served three years as an apprentice and then went to Tillsonburg with his brother, Will, who had also served his apprenticeship at the printing trade in the office of the Orangeville Sun. The two brothers embarked in the publishing business in Tillsonburg. After the dissolution of their partnership, Mr. McGuire worked as a job printer in London, Brantford and Toronto, finally returning to his native town to take charge of the Advertiser for his old employer, Fisher Munro. A few years later he and Seneca G. Ketchum bought the Orangeville Gazette from the late J.B. Cuttell and changed the name of the paper to The Dufferin Post. They ran the Post for fourteen months and then sold out to D.J. Mungovan, who made Mr. McGuire his foreman. This position he held for five years, finally resigning to go into business on his own account. Early in 1893 he started a job printing business in Orangeville and in June of that year founded The Banner, with which he had been actively and continuously identified from that time until his fatal illness. In his long newspaper career Mr. McGuire had witnessed many far-reaching changes in the printing industry. Modern printing machinery was unknown when he commenced his career as an apprentice. Speed and accuracy in composition was the first qualification of a good printer and Mr. McGuire was known as a particularly speedy compositor. In the fifty years and longer that he had been in the printing business, Mr. McGuire had seen the industry completely revolutionized. As a young man Mr. McGuire was an outstanding athlete and sprinter. Few young men could beat him in a 100 yard sprint and he won many prizes at celebrations and athletic events. He was widely known as one of the outstanding lacrosse players of his day. He played with the famous Brantford team for two seasons and after returning to Orangeville was one of the scoring aces of the champion Dufferins of the late '80's. Strong, fleet of food and expert at dodging his opponents he was always a dangerous man when The Dufferins were attacking and the cry "Go in on the flags, Blayney!" is still remembered by the old followers of the greenshirts. His interest in lacrosse did not abate one whit with the passing of the years. When Orangeville had a lacrosse team it had no more enthusiastic supporter than Mr. McGuire, whether winning or losing. He seldom missed a Good Friday lacrosse convention in Toronto and gave good service to the game for two years as President of the Ontario Amateur Lacrosse Association. He took an active interest in the public life and affairs of Orangeville, served in the town council for three years and was one of the men who took an active part in the negotiations which resulted in the establishment of the Dod Knitting Industry. As a man he was absolutely fearless, never hesitated to express his views and was always prepared to back up his convictions on any issue of public interest. He was a consistent member of St. Andrews United Church, which he had served in earlier years as Secretary and member of the Board of Managers. He was an enthusiastic Orangeman being a member of Orangeville L.O.L. No. 2931 and Orangeville R.B.P. No. 621. He was also a member of Court Gardiner No. 159, C.O.F., The Caledon Lake Club and the Orangeville Lawn Bowling and Curling Clubs. He was fond of curling and bowling and was also an ardent angler, who always made it a rule to take a day off on May 1. In his passing Orangeville loses a loyal citizen who was always ready to give his hearty support to any movement for the benefit of the town in which he lived and labored for so many years. His loss is mourned by his wife, formerly Miss Jennie Henry, of Caledon, one son W.H. McGuire of St. Catharines, three daughters, Ruth, of Kitchener, Louise, of Orangeville, and Alice, of Harper Hospital, Detroit, one brother, J.S. McGuire, Timmins, and two sisters Mrs. Annie Ellis and Mrs. Fred Hatcher, Orangeville. Two sons Lieutenants Harry and R.B. McGuire, were killed on the Flanders front during the Great War. The funeral will be held from the family residence, West Broadway, to the Forest Lawn Cemetery this (Thurs.) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. C.G. Armour will conduct services at the house at 2 o'clock, assisted by Rev. W.M. Morris of Toronto a former pastor of St. Andrews.
February 19, p.3:Matilda (Tweedy) McMaster -Pneumonia, following a prolonged illness, resulted in the death on Monday of Matilda, wife of Matthew P. McMaster, 237 Belsize Drive, Toronto, in her 81st year.

June 4, p.3: Dr. J.B. Reid -The news
that Dr. J.B. Reid, F.R.C.S., had passed away in his sleep sometime during Sunday
morning, May 24, at his home, 6 Fairlawn Ave., Toronto, caused profound sorrow
throughout Tillsonburg and the surrounding countryside, where for forty years
he had been engaged in the practice of medicine. Dr. Reid had contracted a cold
while planting trees on his farm near Orangeville but no serious outcome was
anticipated. On Saturday night he suffered an attack of heart trouble which
was not thought to be of a grave nature, and from which he was thought to have
recovered. After rising on Sunday morning he lay down again for a rest and about
ten o'clock Mrs. Reid was shocked to discover that he had passed away.
The late John Buchanan Reid, was born in Mono Township, near Orangeville, on
July 31, 1861. After his education in the public and high schools of the district
he taught school for a time. While teaching school he secured works upon the
anatomy of the body, the study of which turned his attention to medicine as
a life calling. Subsequently he graduated in medicine and surgery at Trinity
College, and in 1911 after post-graduate work in London, England, he became
a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, a much coveted and honoured distinction
in the medical profession. Soon after graduation, Dr. Reid located in Tillsonburg,
and commenced a professional career which continued in this town and district
for over forty years until a few months ago, when Dr. and Mrs. Reid took up
their home in Toronto. During his long residence in Tillsonburg, Dr. Reid won
the esteem and respect of all classes of citizens. In his professional capacity
he measured up to the highest ethical standards of his profession. He gave himself
unsparingly in the service of humanity and financial reward was for him a secondary
consideration. His deeds of kindness were innumerable. He was a splendid type
of the old-fashioned family physician, now rapidly disappearing in this age
of specialization. Dr. Reid was an Independent Conservative in politics. While
he did not take an active part in municipal affairs he was keenly interested
in everything that made for public welfare and served on the high school and
public library boards for several years. He was an active worker in the Temperance
movement. Quite early in life he became a member of the Methodist church, and
during his long residence in Tillsonburg he was an active member of what is
now St. Paul 's United church, holding various official positions form time
to time, and was engaged as a worker at the time of his death. Dr. Reid is survived
by his wife, May Spence, a daughter, Mrs. E. McKim, of Lucknow, three sons,
Dr. Spence Reid, Dr. George Reid, and Fred, and also several brothers and sisters
including Dr. Hannah and Minerva Reid,of Toronto.
A private funeral service was conducted at 6 Fairlawn Ave., Toronto, on Tuesday
evening, May 26, by the Rev.A.W. Hone, of Tillsonburg, assisted by Rev.A.E.
Marshall, and Rev. H.L. Partridge, of Toronto. On Wednesday interment was made
in the family cemetery, Mono College, Orangeville. Amongst those attending from

and Mrs. Scott, John and Mrs. Palmer, Mrs . Wallace Denton, Mrs Joel Bate, Dr.
