community, everyone speaks of his "Irish generosity," and at his death, in
1891, at the age of 72, people from all parts came to pay the last tribute of
regard. He was a member of the English church, in which he was a Warden; a
Conservative, in politics, and was Township Clerk of Peel for some years. He m.
