OBITUARY. 

Mr. Joseph Storrow died at his home in Wellington, February 23, 1895, in his 67th year of age. 

The deceased was born at Alma, Canada, August 7, 1828, and came, when a child, with his father's family to this township, about sixty years ago. The elder Mr, Storrow located a home in the woods for his family, on which farm he died. The son, subject of this writing, lived uninterruptedly at the same place until his decease. 

So early a date made Mr. Joseph Storrow a pioneer in Wellington, and with others he bravely met and conquered the hardships of such a life; did well his part in community in converting the wilderness to cultivated farms and cultured homes. A man of universally acknowledged integrity in all his ways, he was a good husband, father, citizen, and friend. He was of even temper, patient and pleasant. Above envy and malice, he lived and died with many friends and no enemies. Mrs. Storrow and two sons survive. The eldest son, Herbert, is for many years a resident of Kansas City, Kansas. The youngest son, Byron, resides at the pleasant old homestead, the mother living with him. Very few remain of Mr. Storrow's pioneer comrades — all weary and waiting. Soon this remnant will be over the river, but the graces of good society and material thrift follow their labors and emphasize the plaudit, "well done," 

The funeral obsequies were conducted by Rev. Skeele, of the Congregational Church, the Church quartette rendering the music. Beside the wife and sons' families, Mr. Thomas Storrow and Mrs. Kendal Baird, brother and sister of the deceased, and other relatives in large numbers were present. Added were many neighbors, sympathizing friends, all attesting tender regard and high esteem of the one who had passed from earth.
