Supposed Murder at Hamilton
We Learn from our Hamilton correspondent, that on Tueaday morning last, the body of a man, bearing numerous marks of violence, was found lying in the water in Burlington Bay, near the Suspension Bridge. The body was identified as that of a teamster, formerly in the employment of Nixson & Swales, wharfingers.
About two months since deceased was despatched with a load of goods to Wellington Square, and on his return, it appears he stopped for a short time at a tavern kept by a person named Skuce, immediately adjoining the Suspension Bridge; while there two men asked him if he would permit them to ride with him on his way home, which request was not granted, and an altercation ensued. Since that period no tidings have been received of him, his horses returning home without a driver. A quantity of money and a valuable watch remained on the body of the unfortunate man, a proof that he was not assaulted with intent to rob, but from malevolent feelings.—Globe, April 19th.

Found Drowned.—Nathan Cooper, a aged person, who had lived with the Hopkins family for a number of years, was found drowned in Burlington bay, near near Dundurn Castle on Sunday last. When the body was discovered it was almost in a state of nudity with the clothes having been torn off by the lumps of hard cemented gravel, whis is along the shore the action of the water causing it to be thown against them. The information being given to Coroner. But he ordered the body to be once removed to Skuce's Tavern, where an Inquest was held, but little was elicited, excepting identifying the body, and that the deceased had left Mr Sweyzee Hopkins about 2, or 3 days previous. The deceased was a sober quiet and inoffensive person, but during the last spring, showed more than his ordinary symptoms of derangement, yet not sufficient to have him confined. A verdict of found drowned was returned. Mr Hopkins took the body home for interment.

Daring Burglary
Midnight Deeds - Farmer's House in Westminster entered - inmates threatened with dead - $112 secured

Late on Saturday night or rather at an early hour on Sunday morning a most daring burlgary was committed at the residence of Mr. Skuse, 2nd con. of Westminster, just west of Oxford County. The only residents in the house were Mr. and Mrs. Skuse and a young girl. About 2am, the residents of the house were suddenly awakened by a series of sharp blows struck on some wooden substance. Mr. Skuse had barely time to ask his wife if she heard the noise, when three masked men, who had forced in one of the windows of the house, presented themselves at the bedside, each armed with a revolver. One of the rascals, in a husky and evidently disguised tone of voice, said, "Now, Mr.s Skuse, we want your money, and we won't do you any harm if you do not move." Thinking discretion the better part of valor, Mr. Skuse promised he would no, but in order to make sure of him, one of the robbers, revolver in hand, stodd sentry while the other couple went in search of wealth. The young girl heard the parley, but was too frightened to move. The scoundrels had therefore fill scope to exercise theri power. They ransacked the house, evidently to search of money only, and in this they were successful, arther they had brtoken open a drawer, from which they carried off over $112, nearly all in bills. They then left after threatening Mr. Skuse with instant death if he attempted to follow them. The alarm was not given, therefore, till late in the morning, and by that time, of course, the robbers had time to clear off with their booty. It is suspecte that they drove to and from the house, and that they came from a city direction. The residents in the neighborhoog have been greatly excited over this extraordinary outrage; and our informant says that every effort will be made to secure the arrest of the depredators.

Memoir.
Mrs Eliza Jane Moore.
(Communicated.)
"I head a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, belssed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them."
When the youthful mind is brought under the control of piety, the formation of an amiable character is frequently the happy result, enabling its possessors so to grow in grace and virtue, that death is not only the portal to eternity but to the skies.
Eliza Moore, whose maiden name was Skuse, was born in the parish of Dourous, county of Cork, Ireland, February 1st, 1813 and died in the township of Fenelon in the 68th year of her age. Her parents were devoted christians, and much respected in their native land. When young the deceased was the subject of deep religious feelings while sitting under the faithful inistry of the early Methodist ministers in Ireland. The seed of divine grave was sown, whcih afterwards yielded much previous fruit. In her youth she was never addicted to those follies which so generallly blight and wither all the good qualities and dispositions of young people; on the contrary, from her earliest days she was unusually predisposed to love God and cultivate her better and higher nature. About the year 1831 the good seed of the kingdom began to germinate, or rather to burst forth into life and action. She was then brought into the enjoyment of saving grace, engrafted into Christ the "living vine," made a partaker of his lovely likeness and an heir of eternal life. Her conversion was genuine, as her steady and noble deportment at all times testified. In the year 1835 she was married to Mr Richard Moore, with whom she lived in great affection for about 46 years. In the year 1847 she emigrated with her husband to Canada, and settled in the township of Cavan, Ont., where they resided 18 years. On her arrival in a new country she did not, as many do, lay aside religion and the cause they had esposed in their native land; but she continued a steady and devout follower of Christ, early identifying herself (with her kind husband) with th eMethodist Church. Her demonination attachment was not to be rquestioned, and but few were more alive to the interests of the Church than she. Mrs Moore was exceedingly and unchangeably kind to ministers. It was her highest ambition to make the servants of Christ at home while under her hospitable roof; and not only minsters, but all with whom she came in contact. In the year 1873 Mrs Moore and her husband moved to the township of Fenelon. About ten months ago the writer became acquainted with the deceased; during these months he has frequently had the pleasure of conversing with her on these high and important questions which conern our immortal spirits–that she was truly pious and conscientious, and that her love to Jesus was supreme and constant, he has not doubt.

Her remains were taken to the Fenelon Falls cemetery on Thursday a.m, May 5th, followed by a large number of her friends and neighbours. ...

After an illness of eleven months, Mrs Charles Skuce passed peacefully away to her reward on Thanksgiving morning at 9 o'clock. The C.E. at Reid's Mills, of which Mrs Skuce was active member, have lost an earnest worker and one who was not ashamed to speak for the Master, whom she loved and served. She will be missed, but we know that our loss will be her gain. Her remains were interred in the burying ground here on Saturday afternoon. The funeral was largely attended. Rev. McAmmond preached from the text "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,"— 2 Cor., 5:10. Rev J. H. Higgins was present and took part in the service at the grave. Deceased was 44 years of age and leaves a husband and three daughters, the loss of a loving wife and an affectionate mother. It was very remarkable that all her brothers, six in number, were able to attend the funeral and act as pallbearers. The bereaved husband and family have the sympathy of the entire community.

Lewis Skuce saved two lives
Young man and lady were in Peril at Britannia-on-the-Bay

Boat got into rapids when Oar Lock Snapped in Twain

Lewis Skuce, a fifteen-year-old lad living at Britannia, performed an act last night that probably saved two lives. So say those who were at the Britannia clubhouse last evening.
Young man and lady rented a rowboat and heedless of warnings, comenced to row acreoss the head of the rapids. When in the middle of the river the man discovered that the danger was not imaginary and set himself to row with all his strength. But before he could pull the boat beyong the danger line an oar-lock broke. Immediately the craft began to drift towards the rapids. The girl screamed and the man shouted. One of the first to perceive their peril was Lewis Skuce and he, without hesitation, jumped into his canoe and paddled out to the drifting boat. By dexterous managedment he succeeded in transferring the two people into his own frail bark and conveyed them to shore. Hardly had they landed when the girl fainted. Both she and the gentleman accompanying her were strangers and would not give their names. Mr. Skuce was given an ovaction by the crowd at the clubhouse when he brought his passengers to shore. Messrs. Charlie Scott and Wilfrid Harrison rescued the deserted boat.

It was a grand stopping place in its time, and was headquarters for hunters in those days. Skuce was a one-armed man. I think he had lost his right arm, but he was a great wing shot, nevertheless. He and the late Captain Baghott, who was a fine speciment of the English gentleman, were noted as being crack shots, and much game fell to their guns. Both have long since passed away, and let us hope they have been translated to a congenial place in the "Happy Hunting Grounds" beyond.

It would appear that two little children, Melvin, aged 5 and Eddie, aged 7 years had been left alone in the house, while the mother and two older children went berry picking, and the father was hoeing in an adjoining field. When the older child, Eddie was out feeding the chickens, the child Melvin climed on the table and got down his father's gun, which was loaded with shot. Eddie heard the report of the gun and running to the house found the little one lying on the floor dead, shot through the lungs, and the exploded gun lying on the table. How the child got the gun will never ben known. The sad accident cast a gloom over the community.

Entered into Rest
Charles Skuce
Sunday evening, May 6th, the angel of death called at the home of Mr George Duncan, Reid's Mill, and peacefully ended the life on earth, of an aged and highly respected resident of this community in the person of Mr Charles Skuce. Mr Skuce was born in Mountain Township, near Hallville, seventy-six years ago, and while still a lad, moved to Bark Lake, Ont., with his parents, Richard and Amelia Skuce.
After spending some time there and having grown to manhood, and the time had come when he yearned to have a home of his own, he returned forty-seven years ago to the vicinity of his birth and purchased the farm in Osgoode township, where he has since lived and until the end came. Shortly after settling on his farm, Mr Skuce was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Skuce, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Skuce, of Mountain, who predeceased him twenty-six years ago. To this union three daughters were born, Ida (Mr. Tate of Pentiction, B.C.), who ably assisted her father keep the home together after her mothers death; Bertha, who was called home a few short months after her mother; and Mrs Geo. Duncan, who is residing on the old homestead and cared for her father in his last days.
The deceased has been in failing health for the past two years, being troubled with a weak heart and chronic bronchitis, but not murmuring or complaing he waited to call on his Master, which came so quietly and claimed one who was a quiet citizen, a good neighbor and one who wished for all that was pure and honest.
The funeral was held on Wednesday, May 9th, at 2 p.m., from his late residence to Knox Prebyterian church, where his pastor, Rev. A. Hinton, of Mountain Methodist Chrcuh, of which deceased was a member, assisted by Rev. James Clark, pastor of Knox church, paid a very fitting tribute to his life, speaking from the words, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my end be like unto His." Mr. Hinton also rendered a solo, a favorite selection of Mr Skuce, " Wonderful Peace."
The remains were carried and laid to rest in the family plot, adjoining the chuch by first cousins of deceased, namely: Messrs. John Allen, W.H. Allen, D.M. Allen, D.R. Allen, W.J. Allen, Sr. and D.H. Allen. The sympathy of the community is extended to the family, and to the brothers and sisters of deceased.

Woodroffe Resident Knocked down by Car

Frank Skuce now patient in Civic Hospital

Thrown to the pavement on the Richmond road, near Woodroffe, when struck by a motor car, Frank Skuce, popular resident of Woodroffe, was painfully injured about the head and body and is a patient at the Civic hospital. Dr. L.L. Derby, who is attending him, however, does not consider his condition serious. The auto by which he was knocked down was driven by Leonard Burrill, of Ottawa West.
Mr. Skuce was crossing the Richmond road, apparently to catch a street car, when the auto drove out of Roxborough avenue. He evidently became confused and stepped against the car. According to witnesses he was rolled along the pavement for a few feet and when the car was brought to a stop one of the rear wheels was just about to run onto his body.
He was picked up in a stunned condition and taken to the hospital where he was attended by Dr. Derby. The doctor said he does not think that there are any bones broken but that an X-ray examination has been made definitely to ascertain this. A report of the examination has been made definitely to ascertain this. A report of the examination, however, has not yet been made.

Injured Nurse's Recovery is considered remarkable
Hope was Abandoned for Miss Skuce, Severely hurt in Auto Accident.
Skull Was Broken

The remarkable recovery of Miss Mildred Skuce, 20 year old nurse of Toronto East General hospital, in that institution is considered an unusual and outstanding medical case in Toronto, if not in all Canada . Last November Miss Skuce was struck down by an automobile on the Lake Shore Rd., when she was attempting to board a street car. She sustained a serious fracture of the skull and a severely crushed left leg, and for ten weeks following the accident she was unconscious.
Little hope was held out for her, yet she survived the ordeal, and doctors while they waited, watched and hoped kept her alive by injecting glucose and saline in her veins.
The young nurse had been out to visit her brother, Dr. E.D. Skuce, a dentist, on the Lake Shore Rd. at Long Branch, when she was returning to Toronto and the accident occurred.
As one of her doctors told the Star to-day, nothing could be done for the injured girl on account of her injuries. "We were hampered by her mental condition," he said "She was in a state of unconsciousness bordering on a delirium making it impossible for us to give her an anesthetic."
Several times throughout the ten long weeks, she regained consciousness only to lapse back again after a short interval. The bone of her leg had been almost pulverized and could not be set in a plaster cast.
As the days passed, however, the fractured skull began to weave itself together. The bone in the leg also grew together. The patient could not take any food by mouth, so doctors fed her through her veins. A needle containing glucose and saline was injected into the skin, and thus the spark of life was kept alive.
About three weeks ago Miss Skuce recovered consciousness and shortly after she was able to take liquid foods. To-day she is still being watched, but her medical attendants are beginning to breathe more freely. She is recovering so rapidly.

Old Time Stuff

He Was a Pioneer on White's Ridge
Father of Thomas Skuce, of Ottawa, Was One of the Earliest Settlers of Mountain Township. Family All Gravitated to Ottawa. Skuce Brothers Were Wall Known Blacksmiths. A Large Piece of Plumabo.
It is just 81 years ago since the first settler located on the White's Ridge portion of Mountain twonship. That settler was Thomas Skuce, from Cork, Ireland , father of Mr. Thos W Skuce, owner of Elm apartment, 200 Friel street. White's Ridge was high land which the pine and oak had been stripped by a lumber operator named White.
White's Ridge lay about 3 miles west of the present village of Vernon. But of course at that time Vernon had not even been dreamed of. Vernon was then part of the forest. To reach his new home mr Skuce had to travel over the rough shanty roads that had been left by the lumbermen.
Soon after the Skuce family settled on the Ridge, there came the families of Robert McConnell, David Irvine, Esbyn Campbell and William Carlyle. Descendants of William Carlyle are still on the Ridge. Some of them are residents of Ottawa. Others live in Vernon. After a few years. Mr Skuce, the pioneer, moved from the Ridge to the sixth concession.
Came to Ottawa
Nearly all the sons of Mr Skuce found their way to Ottawa. James, John, William, George, Frank, Thomas and Dan all came to Ottawa to live. Five of the brother followed the occupation of blacksmithing. Thomas and Dan followed carriage painting.
Thomas Skuce came to Ottawa in 1873, at the age of 19. One of his first occupations was that of coachman for teh late E.B.Eddy. He stayed with Mr Eddy for four years. Then he went to work for W H Walker, the Ottawa layer, who had extensive plumbago interests
Wonderfully Rich
The Walker mines were wonderfully rich. Mr Skuce says that in 1876 Mr Walker sent to the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia a piece of pure plumbago which exceeded a hundred pounds in weight.
Mr Walker was a member of the legal firm of Walker, McIntyre and Ferguson of 34 Elgin street. A F McIntyre and Alex Ferguson were prominent in the legal profession.
Mr T W Skuce now leads the retired life. He is a great admirer of the Old Time Stuff. Mr Skuce was a painter here for over 40 years

Tragic Death of Child in Mountain Township in 1859
Little Annie Montgomery left Aunt's home to go to her own-Had to cross Swamp Path-was never seen again-Neighbors searched for two weeks-bit of her clothing found-story as told in verse by a cousin.
One of the stories which a visitor to Mountain township is sure to hear is that which related to the tragic fate of Annie Maria Montgomery, aged 10 years and 11 months, who lost her life in the great swamp in Mountain township in the year 1859. Some four or five years ago the Old Time Stuff carried a brief reference to this sad story. Today further details of the tragedy are provided by Mr T W Skuce, of 200 Friel street. When he was a boy Mr Skuce's home was in Mountain and his family lived only a few miles from that of the Montgomery family.
Mr Skuce was only five years old when little Annie Montgomery got lost in the swamp, but he remembers distinctly the excitment that prevailed at the time, and some of the incidents which occured during the two weeks which the search for the child lasted. His father, Thomas Skuce, was one of the hundreds who took part in the search.

The Blacksmiths Made their Own Shoe Nails
One of the old residents of of Hintonburg is Mr William Skuce of 5 Irving avenue. He has lived in Hintonburg over 40 years.
Mr Skuce came to Ottawa with several brothers in the year 1871, when 13 years of age. After several experiences he went into the blacksmithing business on Queen street near the Windsor hotel.
When Mr Skuce started in business, blacksmiths made their own horseshoe nails from Swedish iron. Later the nails come to them in the rough from the forges and they pointed them.
When Mr Skuce was in his prime he weighed 225 pounds and could easily handle any horse however troublesome.
When Mr Skuce went to the Burg 42 years ago he had a shop on Wellington street, near Byers' hotel.
Mr Skuce spent several years of his life in the North West. He used to shoe broncos there. How, in his seventies, Mr Skuce is leading the retired life.

Mrs James A Davis, Cantley, Found Lost Son in Strange Way
Story as told by Her Daughter, Mrs William Skuce, of 5 Irving Avenue—Mother and Son Met Many Years After Out in Alberta—Mother Was Hard to Convince as to Son's Identity.
Mrs Wm Skuce, 5 Irving avenue, tells of a strange experience which her mother, Mrs James A Davis, of Cantley, had. The story illustraes the adage that truth is often stranger than fiction.
After the death of Mr Davis, about 45 years ago, the family moved to the Northwest—to Alberta. One son, William, had left home before the family moved from Cantley. He went to the Rockies. The boy, then 21, wrote a few letters home. Then the correspondence ceased, and the boy was relegated to the list of the lost.
One day about 40 years ago, a stranger appeared in a certain Alberta town near which Mrs Davis lived. He asked about the chances of picking up some good land cheap. He was told that Mrs James A Davis, a few miles away, might sell as she would like to go back East.
Stranhger Started.
When the name "Mrs James A Davis" was mentioned the stranger started.
"Back East," he asked. "What part?" The rancher replied that so far as he knew the Davis family had come from the Gatineau country.
"That might be my mother," he said. He started at once for the Davis ranch. The stranger knew Mrs Davis at once, but it took him half an hour or more to convince his mother that he was her son. He had grown bigger and older. (He was only 21 when he left home.) The man had to tell a lot of things abou tthe arly days at the old home on the Gatineau before the old lady would take him to her arms as her long-lost son, and then she had a good cry.
Wm Davis was then living in San Francisco. He induced his mother to go to California. She died there about nine years ago.
There are no Davises in Cantley now. The William Davis who was one of the chief actors in this story was a ...ader in San Francisco.

From the first little hope was held for the injured man as he was severly cut about the face and body.

Cantley Settlers carried Lighted Torches at Night

Cantley, on the east side of the Gatineau river, opposite Kirk's Ferry, has a history dating back nearly ninety years. Tough not an anthorirty on the pioneer days in that district, Mrs. Isabella Skuce, of 5 Irving avenue, is able to throw some interesting light on conditions there sixty and more years ago.
Mrs. Skuce was born in Cantley sixty-nine year ago- at a time when that district was still dotted with log cabins surrounded by blackened stumps in the midst of scanty clearings. The wives of the settlers were still using the old spinning wheels and making practically all the clothing for their families; wolves and wolverines were still stalking the land and keeping people awake at nights with their incessant howling, and, according to Mrs. Skuce, it was dangerous to venture out at night without a lighted torch to scare the wolves away - real pioneere conditions, and less then seventy years ago.

Was Landmark
Mrs. Skuce's father was the late James Davis, who for a time in the early seventies kept store and post office in the village, and in later years kept a store in New Edinburgh, on Creighton street near the corner of Sussex. His father, the late William Davis, came to these parts from Wales in the early part of the nineteenth century and sometime in the forties settled on the outskirts of what is now the village of Cantley. The log shanty erected by this pioneer settler stood as a landmark until the year 1892, when it was destroyed by fire.
Mrs. Skuce recalls that among the early settlers within a mile on each side of the village were: John Milks (who came from Eardley), Lemuel Allen, Fred Davis, John Brown, Donald Gow, Robert Brown, Isaac Smith, James Shields, John Fleming (family all gone), James Hogan, James Patterson, David Blackburn, David Thompson, Tony Holmes, George Prudhomme, grandfather of Rev. Father Geo D. Prudhomme of Ottawa, and others. There are traditions also of a Mr. Cantley, a far back settler after whom the village was named, though very little is known about him or his descendants. In any event there are no Cantleys in the district now, nor were there any in Mrs. Skuce's girlhood days.
At the time Mrs. Skuce was born there was one store in the village of Cantley. It was kept by George Brown, father of Mr. Christie Brown of Ottawa. Later another store was kept by Alexander Prudhomme, who was also the first postmaster of the village.

Had Sawmill
For many years Cantley boasted a sawmill. It was located on Blackburn creek, and was run by John Blackburn, son of Andrew, the pioneeer, Andrew Blackburn was also the father of the late Robert Blackburn of New Edinburgh, and of the late Andrew Blackburn, farmer of Kirk's Perry.

Charge Dismissed
On October 27th an automobile driven by Thomas Skuce of Osgoode entering Carling avenue from Sherwood Driver, was in collision with an automobile driven west on Carling avenue by Ald. David McMillan. The alderman's car was turned over and suffered damage to the extent of $250. The Skuce car also was damaged considerably. Alderman McMillan was shaken up but was not seriously injured. Mr and Mrs Skuce said their car was brought to a stop before entering Carling avenue and at that time the McMillan car was some distance away. Ald. McMillan and a woman who was driving east on Carling said the Skuce car was not stopped before entering the Carling avenue but that neither car was going at a fast rate of speed.
Skuce was charged with driving in a manner dangerous to the public. Magistrate Strike said that there was nothing to suggest that the witnesses on either side were telling anything but what they thought was the truth. Before making a conviction he said he must be satisfied beyond resonable doubt and he could not say he was. He dismissed the charge remarking that the onus doubtless would have to be placed by a civil court action.

Frank Allan Skuce Dies Suddenly At Britannia Camp
Frank Allan Skuce, auditor in the Income Tax Division of the Department of National Revenue, well-known sportsman, ex-Commodore, and life member of the Britannia Boating Club, died suddenly on Saturday night about 11 o'clock at his Summer camp near the clubhouse. He was 60 years old.
Mr Skuce had been ailing for some time, but his death was quite unexpected.

He was formerly a member of the Glebe Curling Club, enjoyed a game of golf, and in his day was an oarsman and swimmer.
Born in Kerry County, Ireland, Mr Skuce was a son of the late Mr and Mrs Frank Skuce. He came to Canada in 1913 with his wife and family to settle, having previously visited the Dominion. They lived in Montreal where he enlisted with the 60th Battalion of the C.E.F. on the outbreak of the Great War. He served through out the war with his battalion and with the machine gun school. On his return to Canada he joined the staff of the Income Tax Division 1 where he had served until his death. He was an Anglican in religion.
Surviving him are his widow, of 208 Branson avenue, formerly Miss Nora A Mackesy, whom he married in Ireland; four daughters, Mrs E A Oakes, 18 Grove avenue; Mrs. James Mercer, Cooper street; Misses Marjorie and Esther, at home; two sons, Frank, of Syracuse, NY, and Charles, at home; two brothers, William and Charles, and two sisters, Mrs Godsell, and Miss May Skuce, all of Cork, Ireland, and four grandchildren.

Quits Alaska just once finds future bride here
Courtship of Charles Skuse and Isabel Duncan spans 3,500 Miles - Japan Looks like closest Enemy in North

Islington, July 4 - The old adage about love conquering distance has a living exponent in Charles Skuse of Juneau Alaska. On Saturday, Mr. Skuse will marry Miss Isabel Duncan of Bloor St., Islington after a courtship that bridged a gap of 3,500 miles.
Charles is the second in the Skuse family to come all the way to Ontario for a bride. He came here in May of last year with his brother, who was marrying an Ontario girl, a friend of Miss Duncan. Mr Skuse returned to Alaska but he knew he had found the girl he wanted.
"I never throught I'd run into anything so important as meeting my future wife on that trip," he said. "It was the first time I had been out of Alaska and I just wanted a good time."
The future Mrs. Skuse is not in the least perturbed about going to far-off territory. For one thing she will see her girld friend, married to Mr Skuse's brother, and she has met other Juneau people who have visited here.
A new truck will carry the couple back to their Alaska home. Mr Skuse bought Alaska license plates before he left home.
There is a trong pro-British feeling in the section of Alaska near Juneau, he said. "The feeling seems to be that the US should get in the war on the side of the Allies," said the visitor.
"No, we don't fear invasion form the Russians," he added. "The people are more worried about trouble with Japan . In a war between the US and that country, we would be right in the line of invasion."

Even chance given Farmer Wounded at Pistol Match

Same Bullet Hits Windsor Policeman in Strange North York Accident
Empy Shell Cause

Nine blood transfusions have been given in a dramatic fight for the life of John F Turnbull, 47, Orillia farmer. With a .45 calibre revolver bullet through the body, he is one of two men seriously wounded in one of the strangest accidents ever to occur in an international revolver competition. The other is Constable James McLaughlan, 33, of Windsor, less dangerously wounded when the same bullet passed through his side. They were shooting in a match sponsored by the Forest Hill Police and Firemen's association at Maryvale farm Saturday.
The bullet was from the service revolver of Corp. W W Skuce, crack shot of the RCMP, headquarters staff, Ottawa, and member of this year's Dominion revolver championship team. Skuce, who was firing from No. 13 position, was struck on the neck by a hot
<Picture - PC James McLaughlan>
cartidge case ejected from the .38 calibre automatic pistol fired on his left by Turnbull.
Instinctively Corp Skuce swing in the direction from which he had been struck.
"I thought I had been shot in the neck — that it was a bullet that struck me," he said " I grabbed for my neck and staggered back out of line" His pistol discharged, and a bullet from the weapon, which he had already levelled for shooting at the target, passed through Constable McLaughlan's side, grazing a rib, and entered Turnbull's abdomen.

Thinks Gun Fell
Whether reflect action from the hot sting on his neck caused the marksman, with nerves already tense, to pull the trigger, or wheather the gun dropped from his hand and exploded on striking the ground, is not certain.
"I have no recollection of discharging it," sad Corpiral Skuce, "I am under the impression it exploded when falling. When I felt the sharp, hot blow on the side of my neck I thought it was a bullet and that I had been shot. I grabbed for my neck and staggered back out of line. The next thing I realized my revolver was on the ground and the two boys at my left were at my feet, wounded. Anyone who received a very sharp, hot blow on the neck like that would have done the same thing—grab for his neck."
The accident occurred in the first match of the meet, and the contestants had fired one shot. Turnbull was not firing in the same competition as McLaughlin and Skuce. He was shooting at what is known as a re-entry target, but was standing in the No. 11 position in the same line of competitors.
Turnbull is given a 50-50 chance of recovery by surgeons at Toronto East General hospital. Yesterday he was so weak that repeated blood transusions had to be given. By radio, telephone and teletype police officers in Tornoto and suburbs were asked to respond with blood donations. Volunteers beseiged the hosptial. Two of the transfusions were given by his sons, James and Norman.
Dr Leslie Black is credited with saving Turnbull's life. His treatment, given at the spot, kept a faint pulse beating until he could be rushed to hosptial, where the slug was removed. Mrs Turnbull and sons raced by car from Orillia, and remained with his for the night.

"Purely Accidental"
H. S. McCready, deputy commissioner of provincial police, said 15 marksmen were lined up on the range when the accident happened. Turnbull, in No 11, fired at the target with his automatic. The ejected empty flew over McLaughlin's head to strike Corp Skuce in the neck. "The whole thing was purely accidental" said McCready.
Dr. Black, one of the competitors, gave prompt medical treatment to both men, and officers were sent to call ambulances. The remoteness of the locality in North York delayed arrival of the amublance, and Turnbull was taken to Toronto East General hospital, and McLaughlin to Toronto General hospital in private cars.
Inspector Hammond of the Ontario provincial police, conducted the investigation, assisted by Acting Chief John Harrison of North York.
"I have been shooting since I was 10 years old, and have been in the RCMP Headquarters Revolver club nine years, and never before had an accident," said Corp Skuce, "It was very, very unfortunate thing. I was still carrying the red mark on my neck Saturday night. There were members of several police forces there, and they agreed the wounding of these boys was purely accidental."

In touch with Doctor
"I am deeply affected about the whole thing, but my only concern is that Turnbull recover," Corp Skuce said. "I left with the doctor the name of a friend of mine so I would know how everything was going," Skuce said. Skuce said it was only after the accident he found out the hot shell came from an automatic. Two RCMP teams of three men each competed in Saturday's contest.
"We were shooting at 20 yeras in one of the main matches," said McLaughlan, from his hospital bed, "I had just fired the first round of the relay when suddenly I felt a wave of pain. It was just as if a bomb had exploded and caught me in the middle. I didn't lose consciousness, but I fell, and they brought me to the hospital. That's all I remember"
"The manner in which the accident occurred is the only way anyone could be hurt at such a well-organized meet," said Flying Officer C J Colling, one of the contestants and an expert shot, "The layout of the range is ideal and range discipline was excellent. An accident such as this could have happened even at Bisley." His statement was echoed by Flight-Lt T Cresswell, also a contestant.
"It is the first time dad was ever in a shooting accident," said Norman Turnbull, 16-year-old son of the injured man. "He has won many trophies with his marksmanship."
Among them is a plaque Mr Turnbull won at a Dominion marksmen's shooting meet, and another won at the Midland Rifle association meet.

Airman Now Prisoner Sends Greetings Home

Mr. and Mrs. G. Orval Skuce of Britannia Heights have received the first message from their son, Sergeant Wireless Air Gunner Eldon Beatty Skuce, since he was taken prisoner in Italy in December, 1942.
The message was received a few days ago and read simply, "A Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year." Dated December 19, it was in their son's own handwriting and came from the Italian prison camp through the Vatican , reaching Mr. and Mrs. Skuce by way of the apostolic delegate in Ottawa.
"It wasn't much of a message," said Mr. Skuce, "but it meant a great deal to us."
Daring 21-year-old Sgt. Skuce, who made more than 40 flights over enemy territory, was reported missing in the Middle East after air operations on November 5, 1942. His parents were informed late in January that he was a prisoner of war in Italy .

First Businessman
Sid Skuce enjoyed the distinction of being first businessman in Drumheller, camping at the Red Deer river in the Fall of 1910 and starting in the livery business in tents. Shortly afterward he added temporary premises constructed of half tent and half tumber, in which he conducted a small restaurant business. However, this was not Mr. Skuce's first appearance in this district.
He came west in 1896, locating for one year in Manitoba, and then went to California, where for seven years he was engaged in fruit ranching in Imperial Valley, and then for one year worked at hog ranching. Having been in touch with Jim Beattie, another pioneer of this district, Sid Skuce decided to strike out for Drumheller (before it was Drumheller). He was met at Gleichen by Mr. Beattie and the two drove across the prairie and arrived here in firve days. This was in the early parrt of 1905 and Messrs. Skuce and Beattie entered a ranch partnership.
When the C.P.R. opened the land for sale, Mr. Skuce built a log shack and barn in 1909 at Newcastle, and Beattie and the two drove across the following year commenced contracting, breaking land for the farmers in the Strathmore discrict. In the fall of 1910, he camped near the river here and started his livery and restaurant business.

Barry's Bay, Jan 1 (Special). Warned that their home was on fire by an electric light fixture dropping from the ceiling while they were having New Year's Day dinner, Lloyd Skuce and his family escaped with only the clothes that they were wearing and $10,000 damage was caused in the fire which destryoed the large double frame house. Mr Skuce and his family occupied one side of the house and Wesley Blaney and his family, the other half. The Blaney's suffereed about $2,000 dame when they lost most of thier belongings. They managed to have some of the furniture downstairs, but it was damaged by snow and water and their loss is only partially covered by insurance. Although the double house was partially insured by Mr Skuce, he said insurance would not be enough to build the shell ofht home which had recently been redocreated and fully furnished. The fire was believed to have started in the attic from the chimney but was not discovered until approximately 1.45pm when the light fixture fell in the dining room. For some time the home, grocery store and restaurant owned by Frank Yanthas and valued at $15,000 was in danger, but the resilient work of volunteer fire fighter who used snow and water and wet blankets on the windows, saved the building. Some damage is believed to have been done by water to the floors and furniture.

Skuce, son of Bill Skuce, himself a one-time baseball star locally, reports to Toronto Maple Leafs' camp shortly for his third bid in the game as a pitcher.
Last season Skuce played Class D ball and hopes to make Class C, if not better, this year. It is difficult for a Canadian to break into pro baseball, particularly as a pitcher, but his many friends in the Capital will wish him well.

Over 80
Richard Skuce, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday, was born and raised on a farm at Glengarriff, one of the beauty spots of Southern Ireland.
He left school at the age of 16 and worked on the home farm for some years before deciding to travel elsewhere. His next move was to the coal mines of South Wales, where at the age of 18 he entered the Myrther Vale coal mine. In what was known as the 'second down level' he spent over three years.
Now tired of mining he decided to emigrate to the prairies of Western Canada, and arrived at Brandon Manitoba in May of 1909, where he worked on a farm that summer. In November after he was no longer wanted he with three other lads hit out for Saskatchewan in search of Government free Homesteads. There was an arrangement with the government: if you could exist and carry out the required work and improvements within three years, you could claim 160 acres for $10. This he did in the Tramping Lake district.
During those early years he worked on road construction, railroad, or farm Jobs, as the situation, or weather, made it possible.
In 1916 his girl schoolchum made her way from Ireland across the Atlantic Ocean, filled with mines and enemy submarines, and in December of that year they were married and settled on a farm in the Maidstone District, Sask., where they lived for several years before moving to Saskatoon, purchased a home and lived quietly until the second war broke out.
Although he was 51 Richard Skuce, (Dick) to all at the complex, Joined the R.C.N.V.R. and spent the war years along the East Coast until his discharge in 1945. For the next 17 years he worked in a branch of The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce before moving to Victoria.
After the passing of his wife Marie, Dick eventually met and married his present wife, Jessie, moving to Nanaimo.
Since coming to Nanaimo, Dick and his wife have taken up carpet bowling, five-pin bowling, dancing and any other activity that youngsters of their age can take part in.
From his former marriage to Marie Cooper, Dick has one daughter Eileen, who lives at Moose Jaw, Sask.

Skuce Family Remembered in Carling/Poulin Housing
Dear Editor:
Please extend my gratitude and thanks to the citizens of Britannia for retaining the name "Skuce" Street. During Charlotte Whitton's first term as Mayer, she has the street named "Skuce".
As one of her committee working with Alderman Frank Boyce, and due to the very large majority vote from the West End polls, she was elected Mayor. Much kidding was received because of a woman becoming Mayor!
My grateful thanks to Mayor Marion Dewar who so thoughtfully passed my letter on to Alderman Marlene Catterall. My sincere thanks to her and many old friends like Eva Taylor. Is it gratifying to know that the next street was named after her.
James Skuce built his home and blacksmith shop there in 1905. The property was expropriated in 1959 by the City. The late Orval Skuce started a boys' club in Britannia, which later became Cubs and Scouts. He spent 35 years training boys, many of whom are still Britannia residents and who well remember him as their leader. He was very active in all community work in the area. The Skuce family were well known for their active part in the Britannia Canoe Club, winning many trophies.
A complete history of the Skuce family, with pictures, has been placed in the National Archives.
Most sincerely,
Bessie G. Skuce.

Nelson Skuce

Back in the 1970s, the Citizen dropped the reference to Ottawa in its masthead at the top of the front page. The idea was to appeal to suburban readers. A decade or so later, Nelson Skuce, the paper's director of design, managed to have it put back.
His argument was something like this: Ottawa is the name of the nation's capital city; the Citizen is the newspaper in the capital. So, say so.
Such reasoning reflected Skuce's deep sense of connection to the city of his birth. That connection was severed Tuesday with Skuce's death from leukemia. He was 56.
"He understood the connection between a newspaper and its town better than any newspaper executive I've ever known, said Gordon Fisher, the paper's general manager.
Skuce was born in Ottawa in 1937. He was a star athlete in high school, and briefly played professional baseball. But he returned home to launch a 36-year journalism career with the Ottawa Journal in 1957. He spent 10 years there as a reporter and assistant city editor.
After a short stint in public relations at the University of Ottawa, he joined the Citizen in 1968 as a desk editor. By 1976 he was managing editor.
He became director of design in 1987, winning several awards for the paper over the next few years.
Skuce is survived by his wife Marsha, children Michael, 13, and Mark, 16, and adult children Tim, Peter, and Jennifer. The funeral will be held Thursday.

Gone, but not to be forgotten

They belong at the rink, the ballpark, the stadium. But lately the sad truth is, if you're looking for a member of the local sports community, try Hulse and Playfair. It's standing room only at the funeral parlor.
In the past week, the sports village of the nation's capital lost two giants. Gord Hamilton and Bill Cowley.
Gordie was the heart and soul of the Ottawa-Nepean Canadians Sports Club, but so much more. Cowley, an NHL Hall of Famer, was the finest playmaker of his era, a two-time Hart Trophy winner as the NHL's most valuable player, and an original partner of the Ottawa 67's.
You're supposed to say nice things about people who pass away, but it was never so easy as with Gord Hamilton and Bill Cowley. Just tell the truth.
The sports community and, especially, the Hamilton family are pleased to see the end of 1993, a year that took brothers Bruce and Gord, their mother, Ethel and their first cousin, Nelson Skuce, who worked at this newspaper but breathed baseball.
Gordie Ham, 49, died one day after Christmas. Cowley, 81, the former Boston Bruin great, died on New Year's Eve and was buried Tuesday.
"I'm just a big baby, I guess, but when I went to Bill's wake, there were tears in my eyes, said Lally Lalonde, a local sports icon in his own right. Lalonde played for a senior city league team coached by Cowley in the '40s.
"I feel a great loss. He was as nice a man as I've ever met in my life, the most memorable person I've ever met in sport. Being a star NHLer never went to his head. He was Bill Cowley, your friend.
They had this in common, Cowley and Hamilton, a low profile for their kind works. Cowley used to be kidded for clinging to the first dollar he ever earned, but friends in need knew another side to the man.
We've had a week to spin Gordie Ham's good deeds and a week is not enough. A boy needed a ball glove, a pair of skates, Gordie found the way. As often as not, the pocket he reached for was his own. But financial support for athletes in need was just part of the Hamilton story.
Gordie was about people. A certain single mother couldn't afford figure skating lessons for her son. The sports club paid for the lessons. Gordie would take the kid out for lunch, listen to his problems. He was coach, mentor, father figure.
Long before the 1988 Olympic silver medal was a twinkle in Liz Manley's eyes, Manley didn't have the means to get to the rink for practice. Gordie, that closet figure skating fan, arranged a rental car.
`It hasn't sunk in yet'
"I still don't feel like Gordie's gone, said Shawn O'Connor, a pitcher for the Ottawa-Nepean Canadians senior baseball team and one of many under Hamilton's wing. "It hasn't sunk in yet. It's hard to put into words what he meant. He was always there for you. The ball season is going to be awful. It won't seem like a home game without big Gordie watching from the press box and then going back to the club and hearing him analyse our performance.
It was Gordie who recruited 10,000 names, at a buck each, on a telegram that landed in Howard Darwin's lap 10 minutes before Ottawa's presentation to the International League expansion committee.
It was Gordie who dreamed up the idea of $5 deposits as a show of faith, with the promise of the first three games free; and it was Gordie who scrambled to scare up tickets for all who responded.
"Gordie's biggest fault, said Darwin, "was that he didn't know how to say no. And later he'd say, `It seemed like a good idea at the time.'
He was a big man, Gord Hamilton and, as Brian Kilrea said, the biggest part of Gordie was his heart. You don't replace people like Gord and Bruce Hamilton, Nelson Skuce or Bill Cowley. Neither do you forget them.

Iona Skuce, 68, remembers a living Christmas gift that got turned away. Her father, William Christopher Skuce, was a sharpshooter with the Princess Louise Guards. He won the silver cup for 20 years at the Connaught Rifle Range.
One year he brought home a live Christmas goose, on a leash.
"It walked in the front door and down the hall into the kitchen of our home," says Skuce. "It was saying honk honk' all the way, in a very friendly fashion.
"We had to give it away because nobody wanted to eat that nice goose for Christmas dinner at our home."
The story has an interesting post-script, says Skuce.
Lou Skuce, her father's cousin, was a cartoonist for the Toronto Sun and he adopted the goose as his pen-name, signing all his cartoons with "Skuce's Goose."
He drew a mural of the goose at the Toronto Press Club.

John Maynard Skuce
Veteran showed generous spirit

(photo)

In 1917, at the age of 17, John Maynard Skuce tried to join the army. When officials found out he was under age, they kicked him out, only to have him re-enlist a half year later. The First World War ended before he could get overseas.
Mr. Skuce joined the army again in 1939 and this time served overseas in the medical corps, making him a veteran of two major wars.
Mr. Skuce died March 30 in his sleep at the age of 97 at the Perley and Rideau Veterans Residence.
Mr. Skuce was born in Ottawa in 1900. Before he joined the army, he worked with this father at their blacksmith shop on Irving Avenue. He and his father shod horses and repaired wagons.
At the end of the first war, he travelled to Detroit to work at the Ford Motor plant. But he left his sweetheart, Phyllis Hawley, in Ottawa. He asked her to join him in Detroit but she refused. She was too attached to the city and didn't want to leave her mother.
Mr. Skuce returned to Ottawa with a brand new Ford truck, a wedding gift from the company, and the marriage took place in 1926. They had one son, Calvin Skuce, who still lives in Ottawa.
After returning from the States, Mr. Skuce ran his own business. He owned two garages in Ottawa, one on Florence Street and the other on Kent . His son says he loved to repair old cars.
``You wouldn't know how many old cars we had around,'' said Calvin Skuce. His father would fix them up and the family would use them until ``something new came along.''
Times were tough and often Mr. Skuce's customers couldn't pay. When it came time to settle their bills, he'd ask them how much they thought the work was worth. Penny Skuce, Calvin's wife, says that's why he was never a rich man; he was always owed more than he was ever paid. Calvin Skuce remembers his father coming home sometimes with only a few dollars in his pocket.
In his later years, Mr. Skuce worked at Canadian Tire, keeping up his interest in cars.
In the late 1970s, Mr. Skuce sang with a group called the Keynotes at the Montgomery Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. There were about 10 people in the group and Mr. Skuce loved to be on stage, sing and tell jokes.
He entered the veterans residence in 1989. Carol Waldron, the nursing unit manager on Mr. Skuce's floor, says she remembers him as a quiet man who always had a smile on his face.
While he became frail in his old age, he still enjoyed going out in his wheelchair. He especially enjoyed visits from Princess, his son's toy poodle.
A funeral service will be held at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair and McGarry, 315 McLeod St., today at 2 p.m.

On Sunday, November 5, 2000, Doris Kathryn Damant (Skuce) passed away peacefully at the age of 80 years. Doris was born in Stoughton on June 18, 1920. Doris was the second youngest of nine children raised by Janet and Richard (R.D.) Skuce on their homestead south of Stoughton. A bit of a tomboy at heart, Doris loved to ride her horse Patches and play ball in her youth. She played the violin made by her brother John. She completed grade 12 in Stoughton and then moved to Regina to pursue a business diploma at Reliance. On February 20, 1943 she married William (Bill) Temple Damant in Yorkton.

She had a sport for both seasons; golf in the summer and bowling in the winter. She loved to entertain both young and old in their home at 884 Monk. The barbecue knew no seasons: it could turnout a turkey for Thanksgiving or a mid winter steak. The celebration of family milestones was very important to Doris. She and Bill were the momentum behind a wonderful 25th anniversary celebration for daughter Judi and son-in-law Don. Doris and Bill celebrated their 45th and 50th anniversaries in the company of many family and friends. She loved life and the people she shared special times with.

Skuce, Thusnela Louise (nee Klotz)
March 17, 1908 - April 27, 2002
Nel liked to say that she was a lucky person; lucky because many small things gave her much pleasure through the day: the scent of hyacinth, a note from a friend, music she loved. These, in turn, sparked fond memories of all those she loved and laughed with. A romantic through and through, she sang to Bizet and dreamed by Clair de Lune. Yes, she would say, of herself: "...a grasshopper, not an ant". She enjoyed a good G&T or two before dinner. She loved to party with Dick (Richard Augustus Skuce), the man she met, loved and married. So many good years they had, so many fine evenings with friends through almost seventy years together. Nel was always open to emotion and tenderness in others. Wonder and curiosity were constant companions for her. Her instincts for honesty of feeling and the beauty of the simple and the heartfelt remain, her true gifts to us all. Her sons, Murray (Suzanne) and Doug (Ingrid) and grandchildren, Mitchell and Kirsten, will remember and shall pass on her love. Marguerite Boucher, Dick's sister, shall be thinking of her, as would her dear friend and sister-in-law, Claire (Peggy) Klotz, were she still with us.

Ingrid joined the School of Translation and interpretation, University of Ottawa, as a professor in 1983, and until her later illness was an enthusiastic teacher of many hundreds of students there.

She wasn't elected (just like Ms. Campbell) and her tenure was only a day long (slightly shorter than Ms. Campbell's), but Iona Skuce made history.
OK, she wasn't actually prime minister of the whole country. But, in 1950, she was the first woman to serve as prime minister of the model parliament at Carleton College, forerunner of Carleton University.
Almost half a century later, Ms. Skuce, who still lives in Ottawa, clearly remembers the reaction of her fellow students: "What do you want to do that for?"
At the time, she thought she wanted to pursue politics as a career. Instead, she joined the federal public service. Moving up the ranks was a challenge, she recalls. Despite doing well on written tests, she was denied jobs. When she asked about why she was rated "not personally suitable" after the oral exams, she discovered the phrase was code for "because you're a woman."
She did go on to serve as a trade and commerce officer, specializing in trade negotiations, export marketing, trade policy and international economic relations. Before retiring almost 15 years ago, Ms. Skuce headed many Canadian delegations to international conferences on economic and development issues.

DANIEL JAMES SKUCE
A bright light that touched the lives of so many people around the world has faded. The presence of Dan in all of our lives was both a gift and miracle. Dan's parents, Bessie and Or val, were in their mid-40s when Dan made his entrance on October 26th, 1939. From his birthplace in Ottawa to his passing in Victoria, Dan's journey became what he affectionately called 'The Ride.' During the 40s and 50s, Dan's ride was spent in his neighbourhood of Nepean, playing sports and being doted upon by his much older brothers Eldon and Lloyd. He also shared an admiration for his sister Margaret ( Johnston) - his only surviving family member. The nomad in Dan surfaced in the 60s and 70s when he helped start an organization called 'Up With People' and began traveling the world staging shows of peace during times of war. Dan detested violence and war in any form. Dan left UWP in 1976 to reside in Toronto and start the evolution of what he believed was his most meaningful contribution during his life. Dan and his wife Carla, were blessed with three children, Traci (Jim), Nikki (Facundo) and Ryan (Mili). The incredible love and support Dan provided his children gifted them with the confidence and stability to continue his legacy of love in their own careers and relationships. Dan's family rooted him into the corporate world with contributions in the area of marketing with both Mary Kay and Electrolux. In the mid-80s, during his time as VP of Meetings & Events for Carlson Marketing Group, he met his soul mate and final life partner, Hedy. Their good fortune to be able to work together for the past 20 years took them across the globe, adding to their treasured collection of incredible friends and spectacular memories. During this time, his love of golf peaked and Dan fulfilled the dream of playing on the Old Course at St. Andrews. The culmination of Dan's ride was the pride he enjoyed as a grandfather to his grandsons, Seamus and Emile. Priority of family and love for his children and grandchildren is what brought him out to the West Coast to settle in Victoria during these past five years. The legend of Dan Skuce will live on in all that have played a part in his life. It was Dan's ability to live his life for the moment and his enviable love and enjoyment of life that he will best be remembered for. He sought only the great good and potential in everyone he met and every situation he encountered. Even with his diagnosis of terminal melanoma in January 2004, he never gave into the disease. A number of tributes had been planned for Dan during the month of October that unfortunately did not take place as he prepared for his final exit on Friday, October 21st, 2005. In lieu of a memorial ser vice, Dan would want everyone to celebrate him in their own way. In lieu of flowers, Dan's children have asked for donations to be made to One Sky (www.onesky.ca); the Red Cross through donation of blood; the Victoria Hospice; the BC Cancer Agency or the charity of your choice. Danny Boy...the pipes are calling. The summer 's gone. `Tis you must go and I must bide. I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me. Daniel James Skuce...you are loved more than ever and you will be missed dearly. Thank you for sharing the great blessing of your life with us.

35 Glens died at Passchendaele

James Milton Skuce
Lance Corporal James Milton Skuce, a civil servant living in Ottawa, enlisted with the 154th in April 1916. At the Battle of Passchendaele, he served with the 2nd (eastern Ontario) Battalion. He showed great courage and determination in leading troops against an enemy position. At one point during the attack, their advance was threatened by a German machine gun. Skuce and a small party of soldiers turned the flank, attacked the enemy, killed a large number of German troops and captured seven prisoners. As the Canadians made progress towards victory, Skuce covered his platoon with machine-gun fire and succeeded in dispersing a nest of enemy snipers threatening the front line. He was awarded the military medal for bravery in the field. He was later wounded during the war, but eventually made the rank of Company Sergeant Major.

She was the loving wife of the late John D. Campbell of Vernon. She was the dear mother of Mary (Floyd Fisher) of Ormond, and Margaret Anne Campbell of Windsor. She was the proud Granny of Donald Fisher of London, Ont., and Peter John Fisher (Toni) of Georgetown, Ont., and the great-grandmother of Connor Fisher.
Rose was born into a proud Irish family in the Hallville area. The youngest of a family of 10, she was predeceased by nine brothers and sisters. Her hobbies were quilting, sewing, and cooking. When visiting Rose, her first priority was making sure you enjoyed refreshments with her and her family.
Her life was filled with volunteering, whether helping at the Red Cross meetings in Metcalfe, attending Farm Forum meetings, assisting as an associate leader in the local 4-H club, the Winchester blood donor clinics, or just helping a friend. One of the last few original members of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Auxiliary created in 1948, she served twice as its president, and in 1988, was made an Ontario Life Member by the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario. A great promoter of agriculture, she served on the Ontario Federation of Agriculture as chairperson of the Women’s Committee, and worked as a Dairy Princess Coordinator here in Eastern Ontario. For many years, she was an active member and executive member of the Vernon Women’s Institute.
The funeral was held in the chapel of the Daley Family Funeral Home in Metcalfe on Mon., June 10 followed by interment at Reid’s Mills Cemetery. The pallbearers were Walter Hoy, Lyle Skuce, Erwin Skuce, Edson Skuce, Arnold Declare, and Bernard Dertinger.
The family would like to thank the Winchester District Memorial Hospital for the kindness and care these last few years, as well as the St. Jacques Nursing Home. A special thanks to the many who came to visit Mother over these many years – many have commented that her warm smile and kindness will long be remembered.

GLYNN, Eleanor Roberta (Skuce)
Following a long and happy life, Eleanor passed away peacefully at the Carlingwood Retirement Community on Monday, June 3, 2019 in her 92nd year.
Eleanor Roberta Glynn was born in Schenectady, NY and immigrated back to Canada with her parents Bill and Lydia (Kilrea) in 1931. She was the widow of Thomas F. Glynn and loving mother of Randy (Pam Grundy), Richard, Gregory (Trisse Loxley) and Corey (Karen Wright). Dearest Grandma of Matthew (Amy), Amanda (Braden), Sam and Maggie-Rene and Great-Grandma of Ellie and Noah Glynn, and Owen and Isla Mercer.
Eleanor was predeceased by her two brothers; Bill (Houri Falahi) and Nelson (Marsha Skuce) and will always be "Auntie El" to Jennifer, Tim, Peter, Mark and Michael Skuce, and Anisa Newell. Great-Aunt to Aneesa, Gabriel, Sheldon, Kailey, Dylan, Neil, Adrian, Joshua, Bronwyn and Ahdiyeh.
Eleanor was exceptionally devoted to her husband Tom, her family, friends and the Anglican church. Stories of her family were eagerly shared whenever anyone came to visit. Over the years, Eleanor was actively involved in parish life, donating her time, leadership and creative skills to dozens of church events: directing a Summer Camp for Girls, the annual fundraising Bazaar and authoring a Christmas pageant, to name only a few.
Born in New York and raised, married and settled in Ottawa - with seven years in Toronto - Eleanor's network of friends and family is impressive. In a roomful of people, she could quickly, easily and accurately find relationships and common ground. Throughout her life, Eleanor made and kept wonderful friends.
Eleanor loved sports - particularly Major League Baseball and Hockey - often debating strategy from the perspective of the coaches and managers. She shared a passion for music with our Dad and it was rare not to hear a backdrop of music playing in her homes. Eleanor was also skilled at crafts, an avid reader, a sharp card player and a crack shot.
Her father grew up near Barry's Bay, Ontario and the love of that area was deeply ingrained in our mother. Most summers featured visits to the family cottage with lots of time in and around the lake, happily enjoying the outdoors. Later in life she and Tom discovered the joy of travel and in particular, they cherished time spent with friends in beautiful Barbados.
Quick to remember your name, your relationships, your birthday and your favourite food and drinks, "El" was a powerful half of a loving marriage that built a warm and inviting home that left family, friends and visitors feeling cared-for and happy.
Our family is truly grateful for the amazing and dedicated care that Mom received from the staff of the Carlingwood Retirement Community, the Ottawa Hospital and the Ottawa Regional Palliative team. A Service in her honour will be held on Saturday, June 15, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Martin's Anglican Church, 2120 Prince Charles Road, Ottawa. A Reception will follow. For those wishing, donations to St. Martin's Anglican Church would be appreciated.
