Friday, Saturday, Jan. 5. 6, 7 PROMINENT CITIZEN CALLED BY DEATH It was with stamfing suddenness that the news of the death of Hesse Allanson Nicholls was received on Wednesday morning. Although not enjoying the best of health in recent months the late Mr. Nicholls was a- bout his business as usual on Tuesday and his passing early Wednesday mor- ning came as a great shock to his fam- bily and to his many friends. A life-long resident of this commun- |‘ ity he always took an active and prom- ‘ inent part in all public affairs, and in his own business he enjOyed the un- bounded confidence of the people such as is given to few people to enjoy. He was active in the work 0f the St. Mary’s Anglican Church of which he ‘was a devoted member and was a disâ€" tinguished member of the Masonic Lodge in which his fellow craftsmen on. many occasions delighted to do him honor. A staunch conservative in politics he took a keen interest in the affairs of the Province and Dominion and was well versed on all subjects of public interest. His was a useful ac- tive career; active in business where his advice counsel and services were largely sought, yet he found time to devote a great deal of effort and un- bounded energy to the community andl the people with whom he lixed. He was a man of sterling character and unquestioned integrity, possessing the highest principles of Canadian citizen- “ship and his death is mourned not only in this community but throughout York County and in many parts of ,Ontario where he was well known and dearly beloved by many friends. A private funeral service will be held at his late residence on Friday, January 6 at 1.45 p.m. and a public service at St. Mary’s Anglican church ‘ at 2.30 p.m. Services will be con- , ducted by Rev. H.F.'Battersby. Rec- _ tor of St. Mary’s and interment will . lfollow in Richmond Hill cemetery.
