The late Mr. Button, although in failing health for sometime was able to be about and 1read the paper the day prior to his death, which came as a great shock to his friends and old acquaintenances. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. ‘Francis Button and was born at But- tonville on February 15th, 1834. In 1854 he married Dinah Teasdale who predeceased him forty two years ago. He came of one of the oldest families in Ontario, his ancestors having been farmers at Markham for three gener- ations. The late Mr. Button was however for many years an auctioneer and later was proprietor of a hotel in Markham. He led an adventurous life in his youth and, as he himself one time put it, was everything except a preacher. Mr. Button served in the Fenian Raid and the North West Re- bellion and being possessed of a re- markable memory could recollect the rebellion of ’37. One of the oldest Masons in Canada. Mr. Button was a life member of the Richmond Lodge and had been a memâ€" ber of the craft for sixty years. He was also a. veteran member of the Or- ange Order. In 1906 he came to Thornhill and of late years had been living a retired life. Surviving are three sons, Geor- ge of Chicago; William and Earl of Toronto; and four daughters, Mrs. Fred Farr, of Thornhill; Mrs. E. Maj- or, of Foxwarren, Man.; Mrs. Lillian Fulton and Mrs. A. Campbell, of Tor- onto; 18 grandchildren and 18 great Grandchildren. Funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Fred Farr and was conducted by Rev. W. E. Baker. The service Was attended by a large num- ber of Masons from Richmond Lodge, Patterson Lodge, Thornhill, and sever- al of the Toronto Lodges. The Mas- onic service at the house and at the grave was conducted by R.W. Bro. W. H. Legge, P.D.D.G.M., R.W. Bro. J. H. Dunlop, P.D.D.G.M.. R.W. Bro. J.E. Francis, P.D.D.G.M., and R.W. Bro. W.E. Hopking‘s, P.D.D.G.M. The panâ€"bearers were six brethren of Richmond and Patterson Lodges, V. W. Bro. R.S. Thompson, V.W. Bro. J. A. Thompson, W. Bro. Alsop, W. Bro. The funeral was very largely atten- (led and the funeral cortege was escor. ted up Yonge Street by a squad of Highway Traffic Officers. A large number of friends and acquaintances met the funeral at Buttonville ceme- tery where interment took place.

The New Whippet The soundneSS and thoroughneSS of the work of Willys-Overland eng- ineers is well illustrated in the hist. cry of the Whippet since its intro- duction nearly three years ago. When this car was first announced in June of 1926, it set a trend in car design which has since that time been followed by practically every motor car manufacturer. While both the chassis and bodies of the then new Whippet set entirely new standards, it was the motor particularly which departed radically from the accepted design and engineering practice foil- owed up to that time. The high speed. high compression Whippet motor with its exceptionally high horsepower for the bore and stroke lemployed, permitting of exceedingly Ieconomical consumption of gasoline . and oil, and capable of sustained high speed under all road conditions, read- ily won it a leading position among the motoring public.
