this Province and scores of other developments that were part and parcel of Prince Edward Island's growth and development, were all familiar to Mr. Furiiess who grew up with the Province and played a part in the progress that led to its development.

From his home at Vernon Bridge set back from the highway, he loved to look over the country- side which he had known Infill and boy for more than a century.

Although in his last days the friends of his childhood days had passed on he made others from succeeding generations, all of whom will join in paying heart- felt tribute today to a grand old man who has passed on to his final rest.
