March 17, 1833.

ried to Adam Scott, a Markham schoolmaster. About
1873, they built the red brick cottage on the north side
of Church Street opposite the present High School,
demolished 1978. William's son Peter, b. 1838,
farmed part of the property in Whitchurch which his
grandfather, Peter Reesor, had received in trade for
his horse from De Hoen. A son, Robert Armstrong,
known as "Black Bob" lived for many years in Un-
ionville. William, b. 1842, farmed lot 10, conc. 10

low Armstrong, 1853-1945, who farmed the home-
stead, lived in the stone house his father had built in
1841, and where Armstrongs still live. In 1923, the
stone gateposts were erected to commemorate the
100th anniversary of the family purchase of the farm.

DEATH OF JAMES BLACK
March 15, 1906
Mr. James Black died early Monday morning (March 12) after a
lingering illness, at the ripe age of 85. Over half a century ago
Mr. Black kept a hotel at the Rouge on the Kingston Road, then sub-
sequently the Commercial Hotel, since burned down, at Oshawa, and
the Royal Hotel, Whitby. Retiring from the latter about ten years
ago, Mr. Black had lived in retirement on Byron Street North, en-
joying with his family the comfortable fortune he had amassed. Mrs.
Black, a son --Mr. Wm. Black, Mrs. Geo. Rice and an unmarried daughter
are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. The funeral
Wednesday afternoon was private, Rev. A. H. Wright conducting the
services , and the interment being at the Union Cemetery.

MAN SNOT DEAD.
K. ZAUSftri s>reeta sued kMO eIi111aaa
21a7!sesr on Wednob"V sosrnias.
The village was thrown into a state of
great excitement Wednesday morning at
the surprising intelligence that William
Palmer, of the Bay, had been shot dead
near Bernard Baker's Vace that morning.
For some time pastr. Baker has been
bothered with thieves taking away bis
geese at nights. So confidently did he
expect these visitors that when the geese
made rather more noise than usual on l
Wednesday morning, about 2;30 a.m., he
arose, dressed himself and event out, tak-
ing with him a single barrelled shot gun.
Keeping along the fence, he went in the
direction of the barn. When opposite the
hen house door he noticed a dim light
shining through the window as though
pro.iuceJ by a match. Shortly the light
vanished and the door opened, and as the
night was exceedingly dark, Mr. Baker
shot the gun in the direction of the door.
Mr. Baker says: "The Fran was no soon-
er shot at than be ran in my direction, ex -
claming, 'I'll have you now.' Not know.
ing what arms the intruder possessed, I
shifted my position somewhat along the
fence, and he passed out of the gate and
tip the lane towards the road. I had no
idea whether the shot had struck the man
or not, as he made no complaint." After
leaving Baker, and while passing thelittle
side gate, Barry Lingford, Baker's hired
man, challenged the fleeting figure. Get-
ting no answer he tired his revolver,which
discharged a shot cartridge, and soon after
repeated the shot. By this time both
men were on the road. Lingford states
that "after I had fired the second shot
cartridge the man turned and made for
me with his hand extended, as though
taking aim at me and he remarked, ' I
have you now.' Thinking it was simply
a matter of speed, I fired again, this time
with a bullet cartridge. The man ex-
claimed, 'you've done me' and fell to the
ground." Baker and Lingford cautiously
went nearer and discovered that the man
was dead. County Constable Decker and
Coroner Bateman were called, when it
was found that the body was that of Wil•
liam Palmer, whose greattat fault was his
appetite for liquor.
The Coroner issued a warrant for au
inquest, and linker and Lingford were
plared under air, 4. % jury of sixteen

The inhabitants of Toronto, or at
a least that portion of them that formerly
resided in the neighborhood, were here
for Thanksgiving day. Among our visi•
JI torg we might mention J. and S. Ham,
W. Walkey, P. Andrew, F. Logan, G.
Peart, F. Bunting, Mr. and Mrs. Wel•
bourne, S. H. and C. Jeffery, R. T. Hodg-
so , C. Dale and daughter, and a score
of ther.

have you nowe' Thinking it was simply
a matter of speed, I fired again, this time
with a bullet cartridge. The man ex-
claimed, 'you've done rne' and fell to Life
ground." Baker and Lingford cautiously
went nearer and discovered that the man
was dead. County Constable Decker and
Coroner Bateman were called, when it
was found that the body was that of Wil•
liam Palmer, whose greatest fault was his
appetite for I quor.
The Coroner issued a warrant for an
inquest, and Laker and Lingford were
placed under arrest. A jury of sixteen
intelligent men were empanelled with
Isaac Linton as foreluan. Dr. Eastwood,
who conducted a post mortem, states that
death resulted from a bullet wound in the
breast, the rnissle having taken a clown- j
ward course, unsling through the heart.
The lover Dart of the bogy and thighs
were covele,l with shot wounds, Showing
that Eaker's mini had been true. The
shot wounds were not sufficient to cause
death.
After hearing a number of witnesses at
Mr. Baker's house,the coroner adjourned
to the Fire Ilan, where a unniber of citi-
zens were exit niued as to the report given
of the affair be the two prisoners. At a
late hour the Coroner adjourned the in.
(guest till Jlouday evening at 7:30 when
proeeeding.z% will be concluded.
The reuiaius of the deceased were in-
terred at the Disciple burying ground
Wednesday night. The prisoners were
liberated on bail.
Mach sympathy is felt for all concern-
ed in the tragic affair. The Palmer family
are among the most respectable in the
township, while the prisoners are both
men of integrity, and of high moral char.
acter.
--Nothing definite is stated with regard
to municipal matters a3 yet. It is report•
ed. however, that as Reeve Parker is re-
tiring It. R. Mowbray will stand for that
position, while the rest of the members
will step up. The names of Harry West-
gate and S. Mackey are spoken of as can-
didates far the first position, while Thos.
Poacher, S. Bray, R. Deverell, E.Wilson,
Geo. Philip an3 others are being prevail•
ed upon to accept nomination, but we
know not the respective positions. 'As
the position of councillor will be occupied
by a beginner for 1893, it is altogether
likely there will be several candidates for
that position.
