Cherrywood, on Friday, the 19th, one of Pickering's oldest and most highly respected citizens in
the person of James McCreight, J.P. Deceased was rather of a retiring nature yet his good
hard sense and clear foresight brought him forward and he was for many years an honored
member of the municipal council both as reeve and subordinate. The name of James
McCreight is inseperable with the earlier history of Pickering township. For the past few years
he has lived a retired life, contenting himself with looking after the affairs of his farm. He was in
his 82nd year. The bereaved widow and five daughters have much sympathy in their hour of
trouble. The funeral took place Monday and was largely attended by old freinds from various
parts of the county. The remains were interred in Erskine cemetrey, 2nd concession.
