There passed away at his home in North Tryon on Monday morning George H. Callbeck, one of the most prominent farmers of the district. Mr. Callbeck was 69 years of age and had led a most useful, active life, working for the welfare of the community. He was keenly interested in agriculture and was a past president of the Tryon Dairying Co. occupying that position for many years. A devoted member of the Tryon United Church, he manifested a Christian spirit, exemplified with courage and great faith. He was untir‘ing in his work for the church and was for 20 years secretary of the Sunday School. He was also one of the church stewards up to the time of his death. His demise is a distinct loss to the community which he served so faithfully and well. There are left to mourn, his sorrowing widow, formerly Amanda Muttart; one daughter, Laura, Mrs. Hedley B. Weeks; two sons, Dr. Lea M. Callbeck, Crapaud; and]. Albert, North Tryon; also five brothers, Wesley, Tryon; Alder, Medicine Hat, Alberta; ].W. Callbeck, Summerside; Deinsteadt, Stolly, Sash; Dr. A.D. Callbeck, of Pentic— ton, BC; and one sister, Mrs. Samuel Weir, Vancouver, B. C., to whom sympathy is extended. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from his late residence to the United Church at Tryon. There was a short service at the home for the family and immediate friends. The service in the church was largely attended. Many people travelled long distances to pay their last respects to an honoured friend. Rev. F. Young conducted the service and spoke in eloquent terms of the many fine qualities of the deceased, and referred to him as one of the pillars of the church. The hymn, :‘Iesus Lover of My Soul ’; was sung at the house, followed by prayer. At the church, “Abide With Me’; “Nearer My God to Thee’: and “Peace Perfect Peace’; were beautifully rendered by the choir. Mrs. C.D. Wright was at the organ. The pallbearers were Messers William S., Albert, Frank, and Hedley Muttart, Wallace Lowther, and james Stavert. Among the lovely ﬂoral tributes were, a pillow from the family, crescenis from j W. and Mrs. Callbeck, and Geo. G. and Mrs. Callbeck; spray, ].
