DALE" "Mr. John Alexander Dale, who had been ill since last Fall, first with pleurisy, and latterly with lung infection, was released from his sufferings on Thursday evening, February 25th. The deceased was widely known throughout the county, from a long association with the stock buying business, few dealers having come to these parts, without enlisting the services of John Dale whose long experience in the work and thorough knowledge of the country and its people made him an invaluable man. He is said to have been the first party to make a shipment of cattle from this section. His remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery on Saturday afternoon, following service in the Methodist church, at which the pastor, Rev. W.S. Lennen officiated. There was a large attendance, many coming from a distance to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed. The late Mr. Dale is survived by a sorrowing widow, three sons and one daughter, namely: Wilbur, Fred, Armen and Louella (Mrs. Arthur Dale); also one brother, Robert of this village, and one sister, Mrs. R. Brownlee of Braeside. He was the son of the late John Dale, first mayor of Shawville. He was 56 years of age."
