The publication of “ In Memoriam ” is designed to preserve, in a more permanent form that can otherwise be accomplished, some account of those citizens and others whose deaths have occurred in or near the city during the year; also, of Aberdonians who have died at other places. Such a record, we believe, may be of interest not only to residents and Aberdonians in all parts of the globe, but also to those who have at one time been connected with the city. It is necessary to state that “ In Memoriam ” (which we intend to publish annually) is not a complete register, but a compilation from the obituaries of the newspapers published from the offices of the Aberdeen Journtd and Daily Free Press. In abbreviating the biographical notices we have endeavoured to retain what will be of most general interest.

O'—

Alexander Anderson, late Manager, Northern Agricultural Company.

A native of Garmouth, he came to Aberdeen at an early age, and after filling for some years the office of clerk in connection with the coaching department of the Royal Hotel, he was appointed goods manager of the Aberdeen Railway at Ferryhill. He was subsequently appointed manager of the Aberdeen Steam Navigation Company, and as in every other appointment he held, discharged his duties with fidelity and marked success. His latest appointment was to the management of the Northern Agricultural Company in succession to the late Mr. Presslie. About ten years ago, having had an attack of paralysis, Mr. J. S. Smith was appointed joint manager and suc- ceeded Mr. Anderson shortly afterwards to the full management, Mr. Anderson never having recovered his health. Although Mr. Anderson has been so long laid aside from active work, he was widely known and universally esteemed on account of his urbanity and geniality while at the head of a large business, and his excellent qualifications for the position which he occupied.—A berdeen Journal.

A. C. Anderson, Managing Partner, Messrs. John Blaikie & Sons. Deceased, who had reached his 58th year, was the son of a farmer at Drumoak. He was for about thirty years connected with Messrs. Blaikie’s firm, having 68 IN MEMORIAM. [1890 risen by well-deserved promotion to the position he occupied at his death. In public affairs Mr. Anderson took little active interest, his connection with public bodies being confined to membership for the last few years of the St. Nicholas Parochial Board ; but in Church and charitable matters he concerned himself keenly and sympathetically. For upwards of thirty- five years he was a member of the East Parish Church. Some years ago he was appointed to the eldership, and in that capacity he had charge of a “ district ” in the east-end of the city, which he worked with diligent fervour, and in which he interested himself to the last. In business circles he was known as a man of sound abilities and of sterling integrity.— Daily Free Press.

John Angus.

John Angus possessed in very special form the persevering pluck characteristic of the best specimen of Aberdonian. Born at Forgue some- what less than 25 years ago, he removed at an early age with his parents to this city, and was apprenticed to a dyer. Shortly after entering on that sphere of labour Mr. Angus began to develop a keen taste for education ; and, having attained to an excellent knowledge of English, he entered on the study of Phonography and French with the result that he gained in 1886 a first-class Society of Arts certificate for each of these two subjects. Then taking up the study of German in the summer months and attending the classes at Gordon’s College during the winter, he carried off another first-class certificate for that subject in 1887. The results of the Society of Arts examinations of 1888 and 1889 were that other two first-class certificates were awarded him—one for Italian and the other for Spanish—and it may be noted that, at 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 69 the time of his death, he was making rapid progress in the study of Danish. Personally Mr. Angus was a man of cheery, even joyous, disposition, and of unblemished character, and one who did not a little to assist other youths less gifted than he who were struggling along the same road.—Daily Free Press.

Rev. David Arthur.

Mr. Arthur was a native of Johnstone, near Glasgow, where he was born in the latter end of 1806, so that he was in his 84th year. Mr. Arthur was for several years employed as tutor in a ladies’ boarding establishment, conducted by an elder brother, Rev. John Arthur, Congregational minister at Helens- . It was during this period that Mr. Arthur became a student of Glasgow University, and sub- sequently of the Glasgow Theological Academy for the training of ministers for the body to which he belonged, and of which Greville Ewing and Dr. Wardlaw were “tutors.” In 1840 or 1841 Mr. Arthur completed his curriculum at the latter. In 1841 the church meeting in George Street Chapel, Aberdeen, then under the pastorate of Rev. Alexander Thomson, invited Mr. Arthur to become his colleague and successor. Mr. Arthur, who was then at the mature age of 35, accepted the call, and entered on his first and only charge. The co-pastorate—a very pleasant one—subsisted for twelve years, till Mr. Thomson’s death in 1853. From then till 1874, when he resigned from failing strength, Mr. Arthur carried on the work alone. As a preacher, the recognition of Mr. Arthur’s undoubted abilities was of rather slow growth, but when it came it was unstinted. His evening lectures were for long a feature—George Street Church being frequently crowded to the very pulpit door. It was during this period that the project of a new and larger 70 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

chapel was entertained, and it was mainly through Mr. Arthur’s own personal efforts that, in 1865, the present edifice in Belmont Street was built. Mr. Arthur’s pulpit manner revealed a certain power of natural oratory and a rich vocabulary expressing a considerable wealth of ideas of a well-stored mind, which won their way with all hearers. No man knew better how to touch the mood of an audience, whether by a tender handling or by a piquant sarcasm, as the occasion served. And in his Wednesday evening lectures, which were of a less formal cast, he won all hearts. As a simple pastor of his people, he possessed a most warm and affectionate nature, and was easily moved by distress under any of its many aliases. He was at once liberal-minded and liberal-handed. He was a most unselfish man, and, from the day he entered into connection with his flock, he never once dreamt it possible to leave them for any—the most tempting—consideration. Although out of harness for the last fifteen years, Mr. Arthur continued, despite enfeebled health, to take the liveliest concern in all his former interests, and until the last day or two exhibited no symptom whatever of mental weakness. -—Daily Free Press.

Ex-Baillie Berry. The deceased was a native of Aberdeen, and was the son of a shipmaster. He served his apprentice- ship with Mr. Wm. Spark, v/atch and clock maker, Marischal Street. Shortly after his apprenticeship was finished he went to Stonehaven, where he carried on business as a watch and clock maker and jeweller till about 1836, when he returned to Aberdeen, and commenced business, latterly taking into partnership Mr. Alexander Spence Mackay, in whose favour he retired some years ago. Mr. Berry cultivated a taste for astronomical and nautical instruments, and for 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 71 many years he gave lectures throughout various parts of the country on astronomical subjects. Prior to 1838 he entered the Hammermen Trade, and also became a burgess of trade. He passed through all the offices of the Trades and became Master of Hospital and Convener, was many years factor for the Trades Widows’ Fund, and at the time of his death was treasurer of the Widows’ Supplementary Fund. Mr. Berry entered the Town Council for the first time as early as 1849, when he was one of the two successful candidates in the First Ward. He continued in the Council till 1855, when he was an unsuccessful candidate at the November election. During that period he was a member of the Harbour Board, the whole Council having then been members of that Board. The next occasion on which he came forward as a candidate for municipal honours was in 1884, when he was successful in the Ferryhill Ward. He has had a seat at the Council ever since, having been returned unopposed in 1887. He was a Magistrate from November, 1885, till November, 1888. During the whole of that period he was a member of the Harbour Board. In 1887 he was the Council’s Commissioner at the Convention of Royal and Parliamentary . He was a member of the Public Library Committee, a Governor of Gordon’s College, and a Governor of the Educational Trust. The deceased was an office-bearer in the Free High Church. He was a strong radical in politics, and it may be stated that he was one of the reformers of 1832 who took part in the Franchise demonstration in 1884. Mr. Berry had, in the course of a long life, done a large amount of substantial work for the public. For his years, as stated, he was a man of remarkable vitality, and the grasp which he took of a subject, and the energy he displayed in debate, had often excited the surprise and called forth the praise of all those— even his opponents—with whom at the various public Boards in the city he served. Mr. Berry was endowed 72 IN MEMORIAM. [1890 with great natural shrewdness. He was cautious in forming an opinion, but once his mind was made up, he was not easily brought to a different way of thinking. He could express his views with vigour and point; as a speaker he had perhaps no superior in the Town Council. Mr. Berry has left behind him a record of worthy service for the community. He deservedly enjoyed the respect of his co-workers in public life, and he was held in much regard by all classes of citizens.—Daily Free Press.

Thomas J. Bremner cf Glasslaw.

A son of the Honourable William Bremner, Governor of the Island of Dominica, he was born in the West Indies in the year 1810, and had thus reached his eightieth year. Coming to this country in his boyhood, he was educated at the , and, choosing the profession of law, he served an apprenticeship in the office of the late Mr. James Edmond, afterwards entering the Society of Advocates in 1834, when he started business for himself. After a few years’ practice in this city, he was appointed agent for the Commercial Bank of Scotland in Peter- head, where he remained the greater part of his life. In Peterhead, as elsewhere, he deservedly gained a high reputation, alike for integrity and business capacity; and amongst the offices he held were those of Honorary Sheriff-Substitute and Justice of Peace. To the charities of the town he was a generous but, at all times, an anonymous giver, and it was known but to few, for instance, that for a long series of years he supplied to the inmates of the Poor’s Lodging House a New Year’s day treat. Retiring from business in 1882, he took up his residence in Aberdeen, where he has shown a warm interest in the work of many of the charitable institutions, especially that of the Sick 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 73

Children’s Hospital. A man of a quiet retiring disposition, the only public office he held was that of Commissioner of Income Tax. An attached Episco* palian, he was a trustee of St. Mary’s, Carden Place* Mr. Bremner succeeded to the estate of Haddo (Rattray) about 16 years ago, on the death of his maternal uncle, Mr. Laing; and became possessed of the estate of Glasslaw on the death of a distant relative some ten years ago.—Aberdeen Journal.

Captain John Brown.

In the death of Captain John Brown, one of the best-known figures in Aberdeen shipping and fishing circles has been removed. Captain Brown had commanded a large number of Aberdeen vessels, and was regarded as an exceedingly capable and efficient master. His first ship was the “ Garland,” belonging to Mr. Inglis. About thirty years ago, Mr. J. W. Barclay, M.P., fitted out a vessel for the Rockall Fishing, and Captain Brown was appointed to the command. The venture was fairly successful, but, on bringing the fish to Aberdeen, no ground could be obtained to dry them, and they had to be taken to Cults before they could be properly cured. This expense naturally killed the industry, which accordingly was abandoned. Captain Brown then received the command of the “ St. Devenick,” and remained in the vessel till sold. After- wards he served as skipper of the “ Mary Jamieson,” belonging to the Hull and Newcastle Company, and subsequently in the s.s. “ Goval,” “ Gripfast,” and “Grandholm,” of Messrs. W. Leslie & Company. That employment he left to become master of the trawler “ St. Clement,” his natural love for the fishing never having left him. The trawlers “ Maggie Walker” and “ Annie Walker ” were both afterwards built for his command. Captain Brown had reached his 58th year,, 74 IN MEMORIAM. [189O

Few men were able to give more practical advice on all nautical affairs. He was of a singularly genial disposition.—Daily Free Press.

Rev. John Calder, Partick. An aged and respected minister of the Churcli of Scotland, the Rev. John Calder, of Partick, who died at the residence of his son, Rev. John Calder, Old- machar. The deceased clergyman was a native of Lanarkshire, and from the year 1844 up till 1881, when he retired, he had been minister of his first parochial charge —Aberdeen Journal.

PROFESSOR Carnelley, Aberdeen University. Deceased, who was formerly in the University College, Dundee, was appointed Professor of Chemistry in Aberdeen University in succession to Professor Brazier on 2nd October, 1888—the patronage of the Chair belonging to the University Court. During the short period that he conducted classes in the University he made many friends amongst the students and his fellow-professors, and was also highly esteemed in the community, his genial dis- position and the keen interest which he took in many matters affecting the public health and general well- being of the people having brought him into very favourable notice both in Aberdeen and Dundee. Professor Carnelley was only 37 years of age. Deceased was an Associate of Owens College, and a Fellow of the Chemical Societies of London and Berlin, and of the Institute of Chemistry of Great Britain and Ireland. He was Vice-President of the Chemical Section of the British Association for the meeting in Birmingham in 1886, and for the last five years he had been a member of the Council of the Chemical 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 75

Society of London. He was formerly President of the Science Section of the Sheffield Literary and Philosophical Society, President of the Physical Society Section of the Dundee Naturalists’ Society, and a member of Council of the Glasgow and Scottish Section of the Society of Chemical Industry. He was President of the Dundee and District Association for the Promotion of Technical Education, and also of the Dundee and East of Scotland Photographic Society. He was recently an Examiner in Chemistry to the Board of Intermediate Education, Ireland, and an External Examiner in Chemistry for the University of Durham. He was for five years one of the Abstracters for the Journal of the Chemical Society, and until his death he held the office of Scientific Assessor to the County Court, Manchester. He had considerable experience as a teacher and lecturer during his career, and under the able guidance of Sir Henry Roscoe especially, he had every opportunity of learning how Chemistry should be taught, both in its theoretical and practical branches. During his period of office both in Sheffield and London it was found necessary to largely extend the laboratory accom- modation. In 1885 Professor Carnelley published the first volume of “ Physico-Chemical Constants,” and the second in 1887. This work consists of two large quarto volumes, and took ten years of almost continuous labour to complete. He prepared for the press another large work on “Air and Ventilation,” which treated of the heating and ventilation of houses and public buildings, and of the relation of ventilation to health and disease. Upwards of sixty original scientific papers were published by Professor Carnelley, most of them in the various science periodicals in Great Britain and Germany. He also contributed articles to several of the more popular periodicals, and largely to Messrs. Viewig & Sons’ German- English dictionary of scientific and technical terms.— Daily Free Press. ;6 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

Alexander Clark, Sen. In early life Mr. Clark had had a rather varied experience, inasmuch as, in addition to serving for a time in the Royal Artillery, he was a member of the Constabulary in its early stage, when that force was a mounted body; and he was also in the City Police Force. He was very widely known in Aberdeen, and, like his younger brother, the late Mr. William Clark, he took a keen interest in all public questions, and was ever ready with his pen to give free and forcible expression to his sentiments. His more important writings include a series of graphic “ Reminiscences ” of his experiences in the police service, and a biographical sketch of his early friend and school-fellow, the late Baillie Robert Urquhart. Mr. Clark was a man of marked individuality of character and singleness of purpose, and was much respected.—Daily Free Press.

James Crane, Gas Office. For well-nigh forty years Mr. Crane was a valued public official. An employee of the old Gas Company, his services were retained when the undertaking was taken over by the Corporation, and for a long period he was the trusted head clerk of the establishment. Four years ago Mr. Crane retired from active duty. Paralysis then attacked him, and he has ever since been confined to the house. Mr. Crane was an original shareholder and zealous promoter of the Aberdeen Property Investment Company, and did good service on the directorate. He was an attached member of Free John Knox congregation, and, so long as his health permitted, officiated in the eldership. Mr. Crane was of a genial and kindly disposition—open- hearted and open-handed. He had reached the age of 71 years.—Daily Free Press. 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 77

R. D. Cruickshank, Sculptor. Mr. Cruickshank came to Aberdeen from the the neighbourhood of Kintore when about 17 years of age, and was apprenticed to the stonecutting business with the firm of Messrs. Macdonald, Field, & Co. While there he devoted himself assiduously to the acquirement of a knowledge of his business, and by attendance at evening classes acquired a considerable amount of technical knowledge and culture. Later on, he served several firms in Aberdeen, and spent a few years in America. He then entered into partner- ship with Mr. Stewart, and for a number of years they carried on business in Charles Street. About three years ago, the firm was dissolved, and Mr. Cruickshank founded on his own account the business which he has since successfully carried on in Torry, under the name of the Albyn Granite Works. As a business man Mr. Cruickshank was characterised by a rigid adherence to right principle. He never took much part in public life, but he was known in connection with his own trade as being a man of sound judgment. He was treasurer of the Aberdeen Granite Association, and also delegate to the Master Masons’ and Operative Masons’ Association, for the settlement of trade disputes, and recently he rendered valuable service to these trades, being largely instrumental in averting what threatened to be a disastrous strike and dislocation of the granite and building trades. Mr. Cruickshank’s many excellent qualities were raising him in the esteem of the people in Torry, and at the recent County Council election he was brought forward spontaneously by them as a candidate to represent them in the County Council, and only lost the seat by three votes. He was a member of the Crown Terrace Baptist Church, and for nearly 20 years he was connected with the Longacre and Commerce Street Missions, first as a teacher, and latterly as superintendent, ever retaining the full confidence and esteem of his co-workers.—Daily Free Press. 78 IN MEMORIAM.

John Gray Chalmers.

Mr. Chalmers was born in Adelphi Court, Aberdeen, on 30th March, 1818. He had his early education in ,and graduated at Marischal College, after which he studied for a year in the classes of Edinburgh University. He was early associated with his father and his surviving elder brother in the management of the printing business and of the “Aberdeen Journal,” and in 1854 Mr. Chalmers, senior, made over the business to the two brothers, by whom it continued to be successfully conducted till about fourteen years ago, when it was acquired by the Aberdeen and North of Scotland Newspaper and Printing Company, Limited, of which the deceased became a proprietor and one of the directors. While Mr. Chalmers was naturally of an unobtrusive and retiring disposition, and came little before the public, he took warm and intelligerjt concern in every movement that affected the welfare of his fellow-citizens, especially of the humbler classes. He took close and practical interest in the work of the Association for Relief of the Poor. He was a director of the Lime Company, and of other local undertakings. He was also for some years a director of the Culter Paper Mills Company. Mr. Chalmers was a cordially attached supporter of the . He was an elder in the West Church, and devoted himself zealously to the duties of the office. In this sphere his warm sympathies and unstinted though discrimin- ating benevolence will be sorely missed. He was much concerned in everything that affected the well-being or prospects of the Church of Scotland, and was a liberal supporter of its schemes. Socially Mr. Chalmers was one of the sunniest and most genial of men. He was quick in perception and sound in judgment, as well as generous in spirit. It may be confidently said of him that he never either lost a friend or made an enemy.—Aberdeen Journal. 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 79

Ex-Baillie Donald.

Mr. Donald succeeded his father, the late Mr. William Donald, in the business which he has so long and honourably carried on, well-nigh half a century ago, the business—which was carried on in the same street, Netherkirkgate, as at present—being even at the time of his accession to it an old-established one. In his own craft, Mr. Donald was well-known as a member of the Incorporated Trades, and filled the various offices up to Convener with much acceptance many years ago. He was also for several years a member of the old Police Commission. In 1865, Mr. Donald was elected to the Town Council as one of the members for the old Third Ward, it being the last year of the Provostship of the late Sir Alexander Anderson. In 1868 he again stood for the same ward, when there was a keen contest over the Provost- ship of the late Mr. William Leslie, but he was not returned. In 1872, under the new constitution of the Council, he was returned unopposed, along with Ex-Provost Jamieson, for the new Fourth Ward; he was again returned for that ward in 1875, and 1878, and 1881, without opposition. He retired in 1883, thus serving continuously for a period of eleven years. In 1875 Mr. Donald was appointed one of the Baillies of the city—a position which he held through the whole of the subsequent period of his membership of the Council; and for the last eight years of that period he was Senior Baillie under Provosts Jamieson and Esslemont in succession. His long experience at public boards gave him considerable insight into the judicious management of public affairs ; and in committees his judgment and shrewdness were applied with advantage, and his counsel was always most readily at the service of his colleagues. Mr. Donald took part in the active management of various local institutions, including the Royal Infirmary and Lunatic Asylum ; and he had been for several years So IN MEMORIAM. [1890

a director of the North of Scotland Bank. He was also a director of the Newcastle and Hull Shipping Company. Mr. Donald took a hearty interest in all charitable and philanthropic associations. For many years he had been an elder in the East Parish Church. In private life Mr. Donald was an amiable and estimable man, with many kindly qualities which endeared him to a large circle of friends. He had reached the “three score years and ten.”—Daily Free Press.

Rev. Robert Fairweather, Nigg.

Mr. Fairweather was a native of Brechin, though hereditarily connected with Aberdeen. After receiving licence from the Brechin Presbytery in June, 1839, he was, in August of the same year, elected minister of the Scotch Church in Rotterdam. He remained there for four years. In December, 1843, some six months after the Disruption, he was settled at Nigg as successor to Rev. Mr. Thom, whose assistant he had some time previously been asked to become. The expectation on the part of some, we believe, was that Mr. Fairweather’s leanings were towards the Evan- gelical party, and that if he returned to Scotland he would join the Free Church. But, however that may be, he was settled as parish minister of Nigg at the date mentioned, and continued sole minister of the parish until two years ago, when owing to failing health, he obtained as assistant and successor, the Rev. Hugh C. Smith. Mr. Fairweather, who was a man of an exceedingly genial and hearty disposition, was a fluent and effective preacher ; and in addition was wont, so long as health and strength remained, to take a con- siderable share in the discussions in the Church Courts. In September of last year, on the completion of the jubilee of his ministry, and, as happened, the occurrence of his golden wedding, he was presented with a 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 8l complimentary address, accompanied by the gift of a timepiece for himself and Mrs. Fairweather. Upon that occasion, though far from being in robust health, he entered upon some interesting reminiscences of the earlier years of his early ministry, telling his audience, amongst other things, that two members of the Presbytery of Brechin who were present at his ordination were still alive, viz., Rev. James M‘Cosh (now Dr. M'Cosh), Principal of Princetown College, and Rev. Dr. Nixon,formerly of Montrose ; Dr.M'Cosh having, moreover, been also engaged as “ best man ” at his marriage though called away by the death of his mother.—Daily Free Press.

Ex-Baillie Farquhar, Woodside. Mr. Farquhar was a native of Elgin, and came to reside in Woodside over 50 years ago. For the past 30 years he has occupied a prominent position in Woodside, and has been largely instrumental in the carrying out of various important improvements. He was one of the earliest of the Burgh Commissioners and a Police Magistrate, and took an active interest in the water scheme, Epidemic Hospital, Burgh Hall, &c. He was one of the first members of the Old- machar School Board, and was prominently identified with all educational affairs. He was also one of the oldest abstainers in Woodside. He was an office- bearer in the Belmont Congregational Church, Aber- deen, and latterly in Woodside, and devoted much of his time to home mission and Sabbath School work. His well-known figure and cheery presence will be missed at many a death-bed, where his visits were always acceptable.—Aberdeen Journal.

Alexander Gibb, Police Constable. Deceased, who was 61 years of age, joined the police force as far back as 1857 ; and during the long G 82 IN MEMORIAM. [1890 period of 33 years, during which he was a member of the staff, he discharged his duties in a way that earned for him the confidence of his superiors. For the last twenty years he had been confined to the Denburn “ beat,” and in the locality he was a familiar figure to old and young.—Daily Free Press.

Dr. Alexander Gibbon. Dr. Gibbon belonged to Inverkeithney, Banffshire, and studied medicine at Aberdeen, graduating in 1835. He entered the East India Company’s service, in the Presidency of Bengal, as assistant-surgeon in the Benares circle. He served in the Scinde War under Sir Charles Napier, and was the recipient of two medals. First promoted to the rank of surgeon, Dr. Gibbon subsequently received the appointment of superintendent surgeon, and in 1861 he retired from the service with the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals. In that year he returned to Aberdeen, and has since uninterruptedly resided in the city. Dr. Gibbon was well-known and highly esteemed for the quiet but worthy part which he played in all philanthropic and religious work. He was an elder in the Free West Church, and was for many years treasurer of the North-East Coast Mission and of the Aberdeen Evangelical Association. In 1826 he was elected a junior member of the Aberdeen Medical Chirurgical Society, and in 1849 he became, and has ever since remained, an ordinary member of the Society.—Daily Free Press.

Rev. John Wesley Gilchrist. Deceased was the eldest son of the late Mr. Gordon Gilchrist, merchant tailor, Aberdeen, and a brother of the late Dr. Gilchrist, Woodside. Spending 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 83 the earlier years of his life in his native city, Mr. Gilchrist ultimately entered the work of the ministry in the United Methodist Free Church, and, in accordance with the custom of that body, he was frequently transferred from one charge to another, labouring in various parts of England. His last charge was in Rochdale, Lancashire, which he left some fourteen or fifteen years ago, when he retired from active duty to spend the declining years of his life in Aberdeen. During the long period of his ministry, Mr. Gilchrist was an active pastor, and was well liked and highly respected by the various con- gregations over which he presided. Occasionally Mr. Gilchrist spent a holiday in his native place, and on these occasions would occupy the pulpits of different denominations in the city. Before finally retiring the infirmities of old age had done their work on his frame, and since coming to Aberdeen Mr. Gilchrist took no active part in public affairs, but lived a quiet and retired life.—Aberdeen Journal.

William Giles, Liberal Association Agent.

Deceased, who was in the prime of life, was, from the nature of his occupation, well-known in the city, and exceedingly popular with the members of the Liberal Association. To the furtherance of the interests of the Association he devoted himself with a zeal and energy so marked that it called for special mention in the annual reports of the Executive Committee. For some years after the Association was formed, in 1877, he did a large amount of voluntary work on its behalf, but in 1882 he gave up his occupation as a joiner to undertake the duties of paid agent, which he discharged in a manner that gave the utmost satisfaction. Deceased was also a member of the Oldmachar Parochial Board, and as one of the House 84 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

Committee took an active part in the management of the Institution.—Aberdeen Journal.

Adam Gray, Commission Agent. The deceased came to Aberdeen 30 years ago from Cattie, Oldmeldrum, where he was born, and entered the business of his brother, Mr. A. R. Gray. He was of a quiet and unassuming manner, and was much respected by the many friends with whom he had dealings. Mr. Gray took no active part in politics. He was a deacon in the Baptist Church, Crown Terrace, and by his brethren there was much beloved. —Aberdeen Journal.

William Green, Merchant.

A native of Huntly, the deceased gentleman served his apprenticeship with Mr. Leslie, a merchant in the Gallowgate, and after some experience as a traveller with another employer, he entered into partnership with Mr. James Littlejohn. Until about the year i860 the firm carried on business in the Green, but in that year the deceased joined Mr. Alexander Menzies in partnership, and under the name of Green & Menzies the firm conducted their business in Queen Street. In 1869 the partnership was dissolved, and Mr. Green has since been in business in Queen Street on his own account. Mr. Green, who was of a quiet and retiring disposition, was a man of much intelligence, and under his quiet, kindly exterior there lurked a strong sense of humour. Except as a director of the Aberdeen Corn Exchange and of the Market Company, he took no part in local affairs. In commercial circles, however, he was widely known, and very highly respected for his excellent business qualities and sterling principle. He was an elder in the Free East Church.—Daily Free Press. 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 85

Adam Hay, Church Officer. Mr. Hay came to Aberdeen over half a century ago. He was one of the oldest church officers in town, having, in the first instance, filled that position in connection with the Free Church in Old Aberdeen, and for the last 26 years he acted as beadle of Free Gilcomston Church. His genial and kindly disposition made him a general favourite, whilst his quaint and happy anecdotes about ministers whom he had known were always fresh and of a humorous character. He was one of those men who go through life without making a single enemy, and his well-known figure will be much missed. For some years he officiated as officer of the Free Presbytery of Aberdeen.—Daily Free Press.

John Ingram, Cartwright.

Mr. Ingram has been in business as a cartwright at Causewayend for nearly half a century, and was justly regarded as a sterling man of business. Although taking a keen interest in public affairs, Mr. Ingram never sought to enter public life. He was a leading elder in St. George’s-in-the-West, and took a keen interest in promoting all the schemes connected with the church.—Aberdeen Journal.

John Johnstone, M.A.

Mr. Johnstone, who was a son of the late Mr. John Johnstone of Moreseat, Cruden, and a nephew of Rev. James Johnstone, of the Free Church, Belhelvie, received his early education under Mr. Littlejohn, of the Hatton Public School, Cruden. He afterwards attended the Grammar School, Old Aberdeen, then under Mr. (now Dr.) Dey. Having 86 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

gained a good place in the bursary list at the com- petition, he entered Aberdeen University and carried off a number of prizes during his college course. He attended also the mathematical classes of Dr. Rennet, and after graduating at Aberdeen, with first-class honours in mathematics, he pursued the same branch for a session under Professor Chrystall, of Edinburgh University. Mr. Johnstone, while a good classical and general scholar, was possessed of a mind specially adapted to mathematical studies, as showing which, it may be stated that in 1887 he gained the Fletcher Scholarship for proficiency in the mathematical and physical sciences, and that in 1888 the Fullerton and Moir Mathematical Prize was divided between Mr. Johnstone and Mr. Ashley W. Macintosh, ofDeskford. A peculiar sadness attaches to Mr. Johnstone’s death from the fact that he was one of the first two gentle- men who gained the new degree of B.Sc. in Aberdeen University—the degree being conferred on the other gentleman at the medical capping at Marischal College on Tuesday. Mr. Johnstone’s career has thus been prematurely ended, and many even outside the circle of his own immediate relatives will mourn the loss of one whose unassuming and amiable deportment so strikingly adorned his talents and acquirements, and whose life was so rich in promise for the future.— Daily Free Press.

Captain Andrew UlNKLATER.

Deceased was 64 years of age. Born and bred in Aberdeen, he entered early on the seafaring life, and passed through all the various grades in his profession in the finest Aberdeen vessels. About thirty years ago he was appointed to the command of one of the steamships of the Aberdeen, Newcastle, and Hull Steam Shipping Company, and since that date he has remained in the employment of the firm, commanding 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 87 in turn most of the vessels belonging to the Company. Captain Linklater was latterly in command of the “ Countess of Aberdeen.” It may be stated that when in command of the “James Hall,” Captain Linklater was engaged in the transport service in connection with the “ Lady Cathcart ” improvement works in the Hebrides some seven or eight years ago. The deceased, who was well known as a most skilful navigator, was held in the highest esteem by all connected with the shipping interest of the port.— Daily Free Press.

JAMES Lorimer, Bootmaker.

A native of Belhelvie, he came to Aberdeen about thirty years ago. Opening a shop in St. Katherine’s Wynd, he afterwards transferred his growing business to 94 Union Street, whence he removed to the Palace Buildings, where he has carried on a large and first- class trade for the past 16 years. He was a prominent member of the Original Secession body, but for some time he was connected with the Free West Church as an elder. A man of high principle, he was marked also for his kindness and generosity. No appeal was made to his sympathy in vain, and being quiet and unostentatious, he was often found “ doing good by stealth.” Well known in the north of Scotland, his memory will be fondly cherished by a wide circle of friends.—Aberdeen Journal.

Paul Ludwig, German Consul. Mr. Ludwig, who was a native of Swinemunde, came over to this country from Germany twenty years ago, to enter the firm of the Messrs. Ludwig which has been established in Aberdeen for a quarter of a century. On the death of Mr. Charles Ludwig about 88 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

fourteen years ago, Mr. Paul Ludwig became the principal of the firm, and ever since, in conjunction with his nephew, Mr. Charles Ludwig, he has carried on the former large shipbroking business, being Consul for Germany, and Vice-Consul for Spain and the Netherlands. Deceased was a good linguist, having a knowledge of four or five languages, besides his own native tongue. Though not of a very strong consti- tution, he was always able to attend business, and was very well known in shipping and commercial circles in Aberdeen.—Daily Free Press.

Dr. LYON, Peterculter.

A member of the Royal College of Surgeons, the deceased gentleman graduated in 1829, and immediately thereafter he commenced the practice of his profession at Peterculter, where he remained for the whole period of his life. With a professional experience extending over half a century, it was natural that he should command the confidence and esteem of a wide circle of friends, and in 1879, when he had completed his jubilee, his professional brethren in Aberdeen gave public recognition of the high estimation in which they held him by entertaining him to dinner. The late Dr. Fiddes, who occupied the chair, stated that, in his day, Dr. Lyon did a great deal to advance the science of anatomy. That subject about 50 years ago was surrounded with great difficulties, and Dr. Lyon and a few others assisted in obtaining for Aberdeen men the reputation of being the best anatomists in the kingdom. On the 3rd of September, in the following year, Dr. Lyon was met in the Palace Hotel, Aberdeen, by a number of his friends in the Peter- culter district, under the presidency of Baillie Mac- donald, now Dean of Guild. On that occasion he was presented with a pocket-book containing ^157, in 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 89 testimony of his long and faithful labours in the pro- fession. In acknowledging the gift, the doctor mentioned the fact that in July, 1841, he had, after twelve years’ service, received a very valuable silver service, accompanied with a gold watch and append- ages, so that such an event in conjunction with that of 1880 afforded a pleasing retrospect of his 51 years’ practice. Dr. Lyon was one of the fine old type of practitioners who in every relation of life did credit to the profession. He was an extensive reader, and was not only fully informed in every branch of his own profession, but was well acquainted with general literature; and when such men as Lord Neaves or Lord Watson were the guests of Mr. Irvine at , Dr. Lyon was invariably asked to meet them. He was not only exceedingly popular in his own district, but was a great favourite with his medical brethren in town and country.—Aberdeen Journal.

Alexander Mackenzie, Artist. Mr. Mackenzie served an apprenticeship as a wood carver. He left that employment about fifteen years ago, and betook himself to art as a profession, study- ing for sometime in Edinburgh, and at an after stage in Paris. His exhibited pictures were usually figure subjects, partly of the class known as genre. The earlier ones, seen at the time of the first Artists Society’s Exhibition in Aberdeen, although giving evidence of both good draughtmanship and mastery of colour, were in some cases rather crude in con- ception and lacking in refinement of sentiment. The result of Mr. Mackenzie’s visit to, and stay in, Paris was a most marked improvement in the mastery of his art. His work, one example of which was exhibited in the Paris Salon, gave evidence of a great advance, and had he been spared there seems no reason to doubt of his taking a very good position as 90 IN MEMORIAM. [1890 an artist. He had exhibited at the Edinburgh Academy, the Glasgow Institute, and the Royal Academy. He had some half-dozen works in each of the two last exhibitions of the Aberdeen Artists* Society (of which he was a member), and in the 1888 exhibition the evidence of his French training was very observable in “ A French Cemetery ” and “ A Frugal Meal,” the latter being the picture which was hung in the Paris Salon. “ A Highland Road ” and “ Sunshine and Shadow ” were two specimens of landscape painting—a branch of art which Mr. Mackenzie had latterly essayed. The last pictures that left his studio were the two—already noticed in our columns—that only the other day were forwarded to Edinburgh. To sculpture, too, Mr. Mackenzie had given attention, and promised in that department also to produce very praiseworthy work. In dis- position he was the most amiable and unassuming of men, and was as widely respected for his singular goodness and kindness of heart as for his undoubted talent he was esteemed.—Daily Free Press.

James Mackenzie, Rosehill House. A native of Auchterless, Mr. Mackenzie was educated at Turriff, where he had as one of his class-fellows the Rev. Dr. Jamieson, of Oldmachar. Coming to town when a lad, he was apprenticed to the trade of baker, and, having served his time, went to London, where he remained for six years. Returning at the end of that period to Aberdeen, he purchased in 1837 the business in Queen Street conducted by Mr. Matthews, and his extensive connec- tion with the shipping trade led to himself ultimately becoming an owner of vessels. About seventeen years ago he retired from business, being succeeded by one of his sons. While most attentive to his private concerns, Mr. Mackenzie gave considerable attention. 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 91 to outside affairs. Joining the Baker Trade in 1842* he took a warm interest in the management of that incorporation, filling in due course all its offices, and it is only a year or two since he resigned the factorship of the Supplementary Widows’ Fund. For nearly 30 years, therefore, he closely identified himself with the trade, and in recognition of his long and valuable labours he was presented in 1869 with a handsome silver tea service, which bore a suitable inscription. Apart from those in his own particular craft, he held other offices in connection with the Seven Trades, being Master of Hospital in 1857-58, and Convener in 1859-60. In virtue of the latter post, he had a seat at the Police Board, and in 1866, during Mr. Nicol’s tenure of the Provostship, he stood for and was returned to the Town Council as one of the representa- tives of the First Ward. In the following year he was appointed Master of Kirk and Bridge Works, but when seeking re-election he was defeated in 1868, and never again tried to enter the Council, though he continued to follow the proceedings of that body with unabated interest.—Aberdeen Journal.

James Martin, late Butcher. Mr. Martin, beginning business in a small way as a country trader, became tenant of a butcher’s shop along with his brother John in the New Market when it was opened in 1843. When, in 1851, John retired from the business, Mr. Martin assumed as a partner his brother William, and for the long period of 35 years the two men carried on a most successful business in the shop now occupied by Mr. James Macintosh, who—as butcher to the Queen—holds the distinction which, it may be noted, was long held by the Messrs. Martin. William being of a retiring disposition, it fell to James, in the conduct of the business, to attend the cattle markets, which were 92 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

then the principal medium between farmers and dealers for the disposal of stock, but which have in these days been largely superseded by the marts. Endowed with a fine presence and an agreeable manner, Mr. Martin soon made hosts of friends, and as he was an excellent judge of stock, the business connections of the firm increased until it was second to none in the north. Mr. Martin was a large consigner of stock for the Christmas markets, sending sometimes as many as 300 head to the London market alone. As an exhibitor of fat stock at the local and other shows he had few equals, his rare judgment as to the points of the best types of beefing cattle, for which the district was then probably more famous than now, being proved time and again in the very hottest competitions. The collection of trophies at 6 Springbank Terrace won in this way was perfectly unique, and Mr. Martin took a natural pride in showing his cups, medals, and other plate to his many friends, while at the same time recounting with much enthusiasm the, for him, happy termination of many a well-fought contest. For some years Messrs. Martin have retired from business, but James never lost his enthusiasm for a good butcher’s beast, and at all the principal shows in the north his services were regularly sought and given as a judge of fat stock. Mr. Martin will be remembered as an out-spoken large-hearted man, who in his profession, by his great abilities and honesty of character, won for himself a position that no one else in his generation could lay claim to. He was a member of the Gilcomston Free Church.—Daily Free Press.

James Duncan Matthews, F.R.S.E.

Mr. Matthews, who was only 39 years of age, commenced life in the office of his father, and intended to pursue the profession of an architect, had his health 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 93 permitted of it. At the age of 19, however, he was attacked by typhoid fever. The disease affected his lungs, and led to the appearance in him of pulmonary weakness, which continued its course after the cessation of the fever. Being too ill to continue the study of architecture, he made several long sea voyages to Australia and America in the hope of regaining his health. In this he was but partially successful, the disease continuing its course, although slowly. To occupy his mind, he commenced to study the micro- scope, and from that was led to attend the biological and zoological classes in the University of Aberdeen then under the charge of the recently-appointed Professor Cossar Ewart, whose interest and en- thusiasm were greatly admired by Mr. Matthews. The attention which he paid to these subjects of study was rewarded by so great a measure of success and of appreciation from those who aided him in them that he decided to devote what energy and health he still possessed to zoological studies. Professor Ewart having been transferred from the Aberdeen to the Edinburgh University, Mr. Matthews followed him and pursued his work in the zoological laboratory there. He acted as assistant to Professor Ewart, and held a post under the Scottish Fishery Board, his duties being to extract information from returns sent from the various centres for coast fishing, to tabulate results, and carry on original investigations bearing on questions relating to Fishery Board matters. He also wrote an elaborate paper “ On the structure of the herring and other clupeoids,” also on the nature of the Thames and the Forth whitebait, a report on the sprat fishing during the winter of 1883-4, and on the “food of the whiting.” He possessed a talent for figures, and several striking statistical papers dealing, among other subjects, with the results of trawling upon the takes of fish, were also written by him or were based on his work. In the local papers, the Field, Land and Water, and the like, many instructive letters from his pen appeared. 94 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

He returned to Aberdeen three years ago, and continued his work at Springhill, where his investi- gations were carried on. As his strength waned these last grew more intermittent, but even to the latest hour of consciousness he remained surrounded by his plants and animals, and showed his interest in some of them. All that the highest skill could suggest was tried to restore his health and prolong his life, but this was not to be.— Daily Free Press.

Edward Matthews, Teacher. Mr. Matthews was a young man of marked ability and force of character. At St. Clement Street Public School he received his early training under Mr. James Findlay; and, showing considerable aptitude for scholastic work, was appointed pupil teacher. After the usual term he proceeded to Aberdeen Free Church Training College, under the late Mr. Ramage, and passed the entrance examination with so much success that he was enabled at the same time to go through the arts curriculum at King’s College. While at the university he excelled in his class work, and on the completion of his studies received an assistantship in Aberchirder Public School, where he remained for two years. Mr. Matthews had reached only his twenty- second year, and his example in all that makes for beauty of character and integrity of purpose will long be cherished by those among whom he mingled.— Aberdeen Journal.

George Milne of Westwood.

Mr. Milne was a native of Aberdeenshire, and at an early age came to the city, where he was apprenticed in a lawyer’s office. He soon afterwards entered the service of the Commercial Bank in Aberdeen, and was 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 95 subsequently transferred to the head office in Edinburgh, filling a position there in the inspector’s department. On the death of Mr. Gregor, who was agent for the bank in Aberdeen, Mr. Milne was, at the early age of 29, selected out of a large number of applicants to succeed him, which he did in 1855. He continued to occupy the position of manager for the long period of 30 years, retiring in 1885, when he was succeeded in the management by the present agent, Mr. John Rae. Being naturally of a somewhat retiring disposition, he did not take an active share in public business, although interested in public movements, social and political. In politics he was a Conservative, but he did not put himself forward in any prominent way. He was a member of Rubislaw Parish Church, and was greatly interested in the work of the congregation. In the early management of the bank at Aberdeen he was very successful, the business prospering under his guidance. He was a man of discernment and dis- crimination as to the proper recipients of the bank’s resources, and his legal training proved of great service in enabling him to discharge his duties in the more intricate departments of the business with considerable facility.—Aberdeen Journal.

Alexander Mitchell of Kincraig. A native of the parish of Slains, he received his early education at the Public School, and considerably more than half a century ago established a business in grain and shipping at Newburgh, settling at Ythan Lodge about 50 years ago. As the business increased, he assumed into partnership the late Mr. Rae, and the firm became one of the most important of the kind in Buchan. Up till about ten years ago, Mr. Mitchell was able to take some active share in the business, and it is only two or three years ago since he ceased his connection with the concern. About 30 years ago 96 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

he acquired from the late Mr. Robertson of Foveran the property of Kincraig, which formed part of the estate of Foveran. In everything connected with the parish of Foveran he took the warmest interest, and he was elected a member of the first School Board of the parish, doing excellent work in that capacity. As a proprietor he was also a member of the Parochial Board, where his knowledge of the parish and his experience were of great service. For many years he was a Justice of the Peace of the county of Aberdeen. He was connected with the Free Church of Foveran, and was an office-bearer since its erection, which took place some years after the Disruption. Mr. Mitchell was as generally respected as he was widely known, and, from his genial, kindly nature, was very popular not only in Ellon and Newburgh, where he was best known, but throughout the whole of the Buchan district.—Aberdeen Journal.

James Mowat, Clothier.

Mr. Mowat, who was in his 79th year, began business on his own account as a tailor 60 years ago. Up to the day of his death he led a very active business life. Of advanced liberal tendencies, he never took any leading part in politics or municipal affairs. He was a prominent member of the Christa- delphian body, and will be missed by many for his unobtrusive acts of philanthropy.—Daily Free Press.

Sergeant-Major Ottewell, 1st A.A.V.

In the removal of Sergeant-Major Ottewell, the local corps has sustained a breach in its ranks that will not easily be filled up, for he was an officer whose geniality of character and administrative tact aided considerably in fostering the development of the 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 97

spirit of citizen soldiership in the particular force to which he was attached. In the orderly-room the sergeant-major’s services were conspicuously efficient, and all ranks ever found in him a reliable and courteous adviser in volunteer matters; while in private life he made many friends, and, it may safely be said, few, if any, enemies in the course of his nine years’ residence in this city.—Aberdeen Journal.

Mrs. REID, Furniture Dealer. As a furniture dealer, deceased held quite a distinct position in her calling, alike for her unflagging industry and fine artistic taste in household articles of all kinds. For what was old—what, indeed, may be called the “antique”—in furniture, Mrs. Reid had a quick and loving appreciation, and she travelled far and near to secure rarities of this character. While she carried on a large and successful business on her own account, deceased was remarkably fortunate in being entrusted with commissions to purchase specialities in furniture and room adornment advertised to be disposed of at public sales. She had an excellent knowledge of the value of such articles, and deservedly possessed the full confidence of her customers. Mrs. Reid’s extensive place of business in George Street might fairly enough be called a costly “ curiosity emporium,” her collection of articles in the house, study, and office furnishing departments being always numerous and valuable. Mrs. Reid, who had been as busy as ever on Monday —busy in her work and in doing kindly deeds—died somewhat suddenly early on Tuesday morning from a paralytic attack.—Daily Free Press.

James Saint, Merchant. Deceased was a native of Aberdeen, and was born in 1820. He was educated at the parish school of H 98 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

Fetteresso, and Meston’s Academy in this city, and after completing his education he was apprenticed to Mr. G. Sutherland, silk mercer, Union Street. After spending a twelvemonth in Montrose, Mr. Saint proceeded to London, where he remained for three years, getting an insight into the higher branches of his business. Returning to Aberdeen at Mr. Suther- land’s request, he began business on his own account in 1847, and had since carried on one of the most extensive wholesale and retail establishments in the north of Scotland. Mr. Saint, who was an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, was also a director of the Tramway Co., the Land Association, Northern Agricultural, and other companies. Though pressed to become a member of the Town Council, he declined to enter public life. A Free Churchman, he was for many years a deacon of Trinity Church, and latterly was connected with Queen’s Cross Church, in the erection and formation of which he took an active part.—Aberdeen Journal.

James M. Smith, Holburn Street. In May last year, it will be remembered, Mr. Smith’s Jubilee as an elder—he was ordained in 1839—was celebrated in Free Holburn Church, and on that occasion he was presented with an illuminated address and a purse of sovereigns by a large body of subscribers. The address bore full testimony to the singular fidelity with which for half a century Mr. Smith had discharged the duties as a member of session and deacon’s court. For many years Mr. Smith was a Sabbath school teacher and a superinten- dent of a large and flourishing Sabbath school, and he mentioned, in acknowledging the honour paid him, that he had in the course of the last fifty years delivered at least 700 religious addresses and 1200 speeches at social and temperance meetings, in 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 99 addition to regular Sabbath school work. At the interesting ceremony referred to, Principal Brown, who made the presentation, said that as a Christian man and elder nothing in Mr. Smith’s praise could be too highly expressive. In all departments of Christian work Mr. Smith did yeoman service. He possessed quite a remarkable facility in addressing children, and few men have for so long a period exercised so great an influence for good amongst the young. Mr. Smith was 75 years of age.—Daily Free Press.

Rev. W. P. Smith, D.D. Dr. Smith, who was well known as the father of Professor Robertson Smith, now the occupant of the Chair of Arabic at Cambridge University, had a long, useful, and honourable career. He was born in 1811, and learned the trade of wood-turner. Being of an intellectual turn, he devoted his leisure to learning, and afterwards entered Marischal College, where he was a distinguished student, taking the Hutton prize, then one of the best gifts, if not the only one, within the reach of students. Dr. Smith’s scholarly attainments were greatly appreciated in the posts, which he held successively, of parish school- master of Kincardine O’Neil and rector of the West End Academy in Aberdeen. The latter institution was not at that time a private school. Abandoning his scholastic labours, Dr. Smith was ordained Free Church minister of and Tough in 1846. He worthily held that charge till 1881, when he resigned the active duties, and on that occasion was presented with a marble timepiece and a purse of sovereigns by his congregation. He came to reside in Aberdeen, and was succeeded at Keig and Tough by the Rev. H. H. Currie, B.D.

Rev. Dr. Spence. A native of Aberdeenshire, Dr. Spence was born in the Manse of Glenbucket. His father had been minister of the parish for a good number of years, but he did not long survive the birth of Alexander, the third son, and he was buried in the Churchyard of Glenbucket. The education to be obtained at the old parish schools in these days was thorough and good so far as it went, but to those looking forward and qualifying for some of the higher professions, it was necessary to be in the vicinity of a University town, and for that and other reasons the family removed to Aberdeen in the year 1809. Dr. Spence was educated at King’s College, where he went through the regular curriculum and took the degree of M.A. On the 30th August, 1827, at the age of 23, he was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Aberdeen, and he was soon engaged in active Christian work, although it was several years later before he was called to regular and stated ministerial labour. As minister of St. Clement’s he was faithful and laborious in his work, and his preaching was earnest and evangelical in tone, without any attempt at rhetoric. His many public duties outside the church demanded a good deal of his time, but when on special occasions he devoted his intervals of leisure to study, his discourses were marked by breadth and culture, and were fervent and eminently practical. In his pastoral visitations he was very faithful, and his kindly and loving counsels were highly appreciated. In connection with all his public and private engagements he was strictly 1890] IN MEMORIAM. IOI honourable and punctual, and with pardonable pride he would sometimes refer to the fact that during all his ministerial work he had never been five minutes behind a congregational engagement. Throughout his long life Dr. Spence took an active personal interest in almost every religious, educational, and charitable institution connected with the city of Aberdeen. For upwards of thirty years Dr. Spence officiated as clerk to the Free Presbytery of Aberdeen, and in that capacity rendered admirable service, continuing to discharge his duties with all his wonted accuracy, although with declining vigour, until 1883, when he was relieved of the work by the Rev. Mr. Simpson, then of Torry. Of a naturally happy disposition, Dr. Spence retained a certain buoyancy and juvenility of spirit to the last ; and as he characteristically remarked on the occasion of the presentation of his portrait, “ The Lord had given him a cheerful, happy old age.”—Aberdeen Journal.

George Stables, Old Aberdeen.

Mr. Stables, whose grandfather, Mr. Adam Stables, was one of the old merchants of the burgh, was a son of Baillie Alexander Stables, a very highly respected Magistrate, and was born and educated in the Old Town. On his father’s death, some fifteen or sixteen years ago, he took up the old-established business entrusted to his charge, bestowing upon it a closeness of attention and an amount of energy and enterprise that soon bore fruit in its successful extension. There was, indeed,- no more active, as there certainly was no more courteous and genial business man in the burgh, and Mr. Stables bore throughout his life the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. In everything that tended to advance the interests of Old Aberdeen he took the most lively., interest, and was always 102 IN MEMORIAM. [1890 ready to give his services ungrudgingly, but un- ostentatiously, for the public behoof He was president of the Merchant Society, and was also connected with the other corporations of the old burgh. He was session-clerk of the parish of Old- machar, and on the retirement of Dr. Dey, some five years ago, he was appointed registrar for the Old Aberdeen district of the parish. In private life Mr. Stables was as amiable and kindly as in public life, he was energetic and useful, and his death will be mourned by a wide circle of friends.—Daily Free Press.

George Walker, Advocate.

Mr. Walker, whose parents belonged to Aberdeen, was born in Montrose in 1820, his father being then in the employment of the firm of Maberly & Company. Mr. Walker, at an early age, came to Aberdeen to be educated. After graduating in Arts, he served his legal apprenticeship in the office of the late Mr. Alexander Webster, advocate. Admitted a member of the Aberdeen Society of Advocates in 1846, Mr. Walker entered into partnership with the late Mr. Ledingham, advocate, and the firm was known as Ledingham & Walker. On the dissolution of the partnership, Mr. Walker became agent for the North of Scotland Bank at Stonehaven. While resident in the Kincardineshire county town,he married a daughter of the late Mr. John Duguid Milne, sen., advocate; and, coming to Aberdeen, joined the firm then known as Messrs. John Duguid Milne, sen. and jun., and afterwards as Milne & Walker, advocates. Mr. Walker was agent for the Police Commissioners of Aberdeen before that body was amalgamated with the Town Council, and after the amalgamation he con- tinued to act for the city in matters which had been formerly dealt with by the Police Commission. He 1890] IN MEMORIAM. IO3 was also, it may be stated, up to the time of his death, legal adviser for the Aberdeen Harbour Board. In his capacity of agent for the public bodies in the town, Mr. Walker carried through the Police Act of 1862, and the Harbour Act of 1868. Mr. Walker was a man of extensive acquirements and accomplishments in many fields. A close student of literature, he enjoyed the constant friendship of Dr. Bain, Dr. John Cruickshank, and others, whose tastes were congenial with his own. He was one of the founders of the Aberdeen Philosophical Society. In banking and kindred subjects, Mr. Walker took special interest, and held a high place among economists. He was a class-fellow and intimate associate of the late Dr. Findlater,at one time headmaster of Gordon’s College, and latterly a partner in Messrs. Chambers, publishers, Edinburgh, and the editor of the first edition of “ Chambers’s English Cyclopaedia,” to which, it may be mentioned, Mr. Walker contributed an article on Banking. He never, during his long legal career, practised at the bar, but his advice was constantly in demand by private consultants, and it is not too much to say that his sound judgment and thorough know- ledge of the law rendered his deliverances in the highest degree authoritative.—Daily Free Press.

He was one of the founders of the Ferryhill Magazine, and he was editor of a local venture in artistic journalism, titled Holloa ! which had a very brief existence. In 1885 he published a series of “ Election Lays, by a Liberal Layman,” and in 1886 he issued a small collection of “ Ballads, Old and New, of Local and General Interest,” embracing a couple by himself—one on “ The Dee,” and another on “ The Legend of Philorth.” Mr. Houston was an occasional con- tributor to the Free Press, the Weekly Free Press, and Scottish Notes and Queries. To the Gazette he furnished, in 1887, a series of interesting articles entitled “ Some Memories of Later Sillerton, by an ‘Aul’ Lad”; and it may be mentioned paren- thetically that at the first reunion of the “ Auld Lads’” Association in March, 1888, Mr. Houston read a spirited poem recalling memories of the “ auld house.” Mr. Houston, besides contributing largely to the poetical columns of the Gazette, also contributed to that paper a series of articles on amateur photography, and took a prominent part in establishing the Aberdeen Amateur Photographic Society.—Daily Free Press.

George King, London.

Deceased was an Aberdonian, a son of the late Mr. Charles King, clothier in Broad Street, whose brothers 120 IN MEMORIAM. [1890

—Arthur King, printer, and George and Robert, book- sellers, in St. Nicholas Street—were well-known citizens of Aberdeen. George King was apprenticed early in life to his uncles’ firm, but not caring to follow this calling, he left Aberdeen about the year 1856, and obtained a situation in the office in London of Messrs. George Thompson & Co., the famous shipping agents. In the employment of the Messrs. Thompson Mr. King continued till his death, enjoying to the last the full confidence of the firm in the capacity of cashier. Mr. King was a man of wide culture and refined disposition. As an amateur, he cultivated a rare faculty for sketching, and many of his works would have done credit to a more ambitious master of pictorial art.—Aberdeen Journal.

Sir J. T. Mackenzie, Bart., of KintailandGlenmuick. Born on the 27th of December, 1819, he was the youngest son of the late Mr. George Mackenzie, of Aberdeen, and grandson of Mr. Kenneth Mackenzie. He was educated at the Grammar School in this city, and also attended the French and mathematical classes of Mr. Meston and Mr. Gordon. In 1836 he went to India with a friend, who had extensive indigo estates in Jessore. Here he remained (with the exception of a year at home on account of his health) till 1850, when he finally returned to this country with the nucleus of a fortune which was subsequently augmented by a successful financial career in London. It was his custom to spend every autumn in Scotland. In 1869 Mr. Mackenzie purchased the Barony of Kintail, in Ross-shire, from the late Mr. Mackenzie of Seaforth, and shortly after he acquired the estate of Glenmuick, in Aberdeenshire, on which he built the present mansion-house in 1871. To this latter purchase the forest of Bachnagairn in Forfarshire was subsequently added. On the 1st of January, 1890, Her Majesty the 1890] IN MEMORIAM. 121

Queen conferred the honour of a baronetcy upon Mr. Mackenzie, which now descends to his eldest son. He was very popular amongst his tenantry, to whom he was exceedingly liberal. His hospitality was unbounded. It is fresh in the recollection of every one how royally he entertained the Shah of Persia during his late visit to Scotland. Amongst other distinguished guests at Glenmuick has been the Prince of Wales, who was indeed on terms of intimate friend- ship with the deceased.—Aberdeen Journal.

Professor MARTIN, Aberdeen. Deceased was born in Newport, in the parish of Forgan, in 1816, and after receiving elementary teach- ing was educated at the Dundee High School and the University of St. Andrews. For three years he taught in the Madras College at St. Andrews, and for one winter he took charge of Dr. Cook’s classes in the University College. In 1846 he was appointed Professor of Moral Philosophy and Political Economy in Aberdeen, and he laboured there with great acceptance for nearly 30 years. The degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by the University of St. Andrews.—Aberdeen Journal.

R. S. T. SINCLAIR, Orange Free State. Deceased was a son of the late Mr. James Sinclair of Aberdeen Mechanics’ Institute. The “ Friend of the Orange Free State” referring to his death says: “ Mr. Sinclair was a Master Mason of the Lodge Kilmolymock, Elgin, No. 45 of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. He was a man of considerable parts, well versed in Scottish folk-lore, scenes, and historical associations, and was proud to relate that his mother lodge was the one in which Prince Charles Edward 122 IN MEMORIAM. [1890 was initiated during the celebrated ’45. Considerable sympathy is felt for his widow and child, as well as for his mother, who are in Scotland. Mr. Sinclair is the second one of the family who has fallen a victim to the prevalent fever, his brother having died in Jagersfontein two years ago. He was in the prime of life, and possessed a fine physique, and was but a few short months in the country. His memory will be cherished !”—Aberdeen Journal.

John Trail, Glasgow.

Deceased entered the office of the Aberdeen Journal as a lad, and devoted himself to his work with a fidelity and thoroughness which so commended him to the proprietors that, in the course of time, they appointed him to the responsible position of cashier. In this capacity he came to be well-known in the city, and was highly esteemed for his integrity, straightforwardness, and kindliness of disposition. After 25 years’ service he severed his connection with the Journal, and started business on his own account as an accountant and house agent. Subse- quently he was appointed financial manager of the Turriff Mills. This post he held for several years, and then removed to Glasgow to enter upon the duties of assistant cashier in the office of the Maryhill, Partick, and Hillhead Gas Company. In Glasgow he has resided for seven years, and there, as in the north, he gained the respect of a large circle of business men.—Aberdeen Journal.

William Whitton, Beverley.

The deceased gentleman acted as traffic super- intendent for the East Coast Railways in Aberdeen I890] IN MEMORIAM. 123 and the north for over twenty years. He discharged the duties of this office with marked ability, and his unvarying courtesy secured him the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He retired in 1881, and has since resided in his native town of Beverley. He was born in 1804, and had thus attained the advanced age of 86 years. He was married in 1825, and'had he lived two months longer he would have completed the long period of 65 years of married life.—Aberdeen Journal. 1. ADVERTISEMENTS.

The publication of “In Memoriam ” is designed to preserve, in a more permanent form than can otherwise be accomplished, some account of those citizens and others whose deaths have occurred in or near the city during the year ; also, of Aberdonians who have died elsewhere. Such a record, we believe, may be of interest not only to residents and Aberdonians in all parts of the globe, but also to those who have at one time been connected with the city. We may state that the Obituary is not a complete register, but a compilation from the obituaries of the following newspapers, viz. :—Aberdeen Journal, Daily Free Press, Northern Daily News, and Peoples Journal; to the three first of which we are indebted for the biographical sketches. A new feature of this, the second, volume of our “ In Memoriam ” is the introduction of portraits of well-known gentlemen who have passed away during the year.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.

John Alexander, Cabinetmaker. A native of Aberdeen, Mr. Alexander had spent most of his life in the city, though in his earlier years he worked for some time in Leamington and London. He had been in business on his own account for about 32 years. A man endowed with indomitable perseverance, he, by dint of his own exertions, estab- lished a high reputation for the production of first- rate and really artistic and sub- stantial work, being, indeed, a leader in his craft in this respect. Keen to recognise the defects of modern designs, he studied the various styles of last century, and what was best in them he applied with rare aptitude in the elaboration of special new designs, these being always marked by great ongmahty and taste. It was in consequence of this that he was so largely consulted with regard to urmture decoration, and that his own wares were so mghly valued. All his business dealings were *96 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

marked by the highest integrity, and being one of the most amiable and considerate of employers, he was highly esteemed by his workmen, his relations with whom were always of the most genial and satisfactory kind. Mr. Alexander was a devoted member of the East Parish Church. He took an especial interest in the welfare of the young, and was for many years Superintendent of the Sunday School. He was also a great friend of the poor, and there are many who will remember him gratefully for the ready assistance and kindly advice which he was wont to bestow. In politics, Mr. Alexander was a Liberal. Whilst taking a lively and intelligent interest both in Imperial and local affairs, he never, however, obtruded himself on the public, being in this, as in other respects, a quiet and unassuming man. Mr. Alexander, who was 58 years of age, was unmarried.—Daily Free Press,

Samuel Anderson, late of Northern Assurance Co. Deceased was an Aberdonian by birth, his father being engaged in business in the city. As a lad he received his education at Gordon's Hospital. When comparatively young he entered the office of the Police Treasurer, where he received a good training. Leaving this office, Mr. Anderson next became connected with the office of Mr. Gordon, Advocate. But an advocate’s office did not give him scope enough for his excellent abilities, and eighteen months after, about the year 1850, found him installed in the office of the Northern Assurance Company. The manager of the Company was then Mr. Chalmers, and under that gentleman Mr. Anderson gained a splendid experience. From a clerk he gradually rose until he was established as cashier, and then secretary of the large and flourishing concern. Mr. David Christie, who filled the responsible position of manager after Mr. Chalmers, having. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 97 removed to the south, Mr. Anderson was promoted to the first position in the Company’s Aberdeen office, a post which he held to the year 1885, when he retired from the service to enjoy a well-earned rest. Deceased was held in the highest respect by all with whom he came into contact, and his obliging and courteous manner in the office made him a general favourite with business men. He did not take any active interest in politics, but he was a staunch Free Churchman, and officiated for many years as an elder in the Free West Congregation. Mr. Anderson was also a Justice of the Peace for the county. He married the daughter of the late Dr. Macrobbin, by whom he had no family, but who survives him.—Northern Daily News.

Major Bayly, late Gordon Highlanders. Major Bayly was a son of Colonel F'rederick Bayly, of the West Kent Militia. On the 30th December, 1871, he joined the 92nd Highlanders, and soon after- wards was drafted to India, where he served for several years. When the Afghan war broke out theHighlanders were ordered to the scene of action, and the deceased took an active part in an engagement at Charisiab in October of 1879. In December of the same year, Major Bayly took part in the 98 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

operations round Cabul, and distinguished himself at the investment of Sherpore. The succeeding year, deceased accompanied Sir Frederick Roberts- in his celebrated march to Candahar, and on the 31st August was present at the reconnaissance and fought at the battle of Candahar. His services in the Afghan campaign were recognised by his being presented with a medal, with three clasps, and bronze decoration. Next year, 1881, found him amongst the Boers. At the end of the year he returned to England, and was quartered with the Highlanders at Plymouth, next in Edinburgh, and latterly at Belfast. About four years ago he resigned his commission, and took up his residence in Aberdeen. He married in 1887 a daughter of Bishop Douglas, of Aberdeen, by whom and by one child he is survived. The late major, who was 40 years of age, was of a retiring disposition, and was highly respected by a wide circle of friends.— A berdeen Journal.

Charles Beattie, Artist. Mr. Beattie was an artist of considerable merit. His taste for painting showed itself when he was quite a boy, and he was sent to Edinburgh, where he received his training at the Royal Academy. By his fellow-students he was looked upon as a rising artist. After a successful career at the training school, he returned to Aberdeen, and was for two years employed in the studio of Mr. Gordon, photographer. He then started a studio in Union Terrace on his own account, and for several years his business was a most prosperous one. Seventeen years ago he entered the employment of Mr. Dinnie, photographer, Bridge Place. Deceased confined himself principally to the painting of Highland subjects, and turned out several beautiful representations of Highland scenery 189 ] IN MEMORIAM. 99 and character, a sketch entitled “ A Highland Wife,” and an oil painting, “ The Return from Culloden,” being, perhaps, his best productions. As a portrait and landscape painter Mr. Beattie also took a good place. He was also a splendid caligraphist, and excelled in playing Scotch music on the violin. Deceased, who was 58 years of age, leaves a widow and family to mourn his loss.—Aberdeen Journal.

JOHN Begg, Journalist. About two years ago Mr. Begg went out to the Argentine Republic to found a Scotch colony, but the movement did not succeed, and he was latterly engaged in the Cape Town General Post Office. Mr. Begg, who was for several years on the staff of the “ Aberdeen Journal,” was highly esteemed by all with whom he came in contact in varied journalistic capacities. He was a native of Aberdeen, his father having been a member of the city police force. He was 37 years of age.—Aberdeen Journal.

Ex-Baillie Brown. Mr. Brown was born in 1804 in Dundee, where his father was a manufacturer on a pretty large scale. About the year 1830 the deceased came to Aberdeen and entered the office of an uncle who carried on an auctioneering business. He continued in the service of his uncle for some years, but, removing to London about 1840, he was employed for a time in a large chemical work. Returning to Aberdeen after a short residence in the Metropolis, he resumed business as an auctioneer, being for some years in partnership with his brother-in-law, the late Mr. Peter Brown. The deceased was interested in a number of public companies in the city. He was concerned in the originating of the North of Scotland Bank, and was one of the few 100 IN ME MORI AM. [1891

EX-BAILLIE BROWN. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. IOI surviving shareholders who were present at the first meeting of the bank. He entered the Aberdeen Town Council in 1858 (the late Mr. Webster being then Lord Provost) as a representative of what was then known as the Third Ward, and served the town as a Councillor for a term of three years— filling during that period the office of Master of Guild Brethren’s Hospital, and retiring in i860. He returned again to the Town Council in 1864, when the late Sir Alexander Anderson filled the civic chair, and served for a second term of three years. Then, after a long interregnum, during which he took no active part in municipal affairs, he was once more induced to offer himself as a candidate for the new Rosemount Ward in 1889, and was duly returned. The “ New Party ” contest was then in full swing, and Mr. Brown, who, as a teetotaller of many years’ standing, and had very strong views on the question of liquor licences—which was a leading “plank” in the platform of that party—was elected sixth or “junior” Baillie. While, as a licensing Magistrate, strenuously supporting the policy of extinguishing strong drink licences, Mr. Brown, in his -capacity of police judge, exhibited his uncompromising hostility to “ the trade ” by dealing somewhat rigorously with tippling offenders who came before him for drunken rows and the like. After a year’s experience he resigned his Baillieship, but continued to take an interest in Town Council and general public affairs as health and strength permitted. Mr. Brown’s recollection of the events of his early years was very vivid and exact, and he was wont to tell how his father, who was a keen politician, was accustomed when he was a young boy to set him upon a table, he being a good reader, to read out to others about him the news of the Peninsular War as it came up. And he well remembered hearing the despatches announcing the crowning victory of Waterloo read out, he being then eleven years of age. Mr. Brown H 102 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

was a keen Radical in politics, and a staunch Non- conformist. The deceased married his cousin, who died in May last. His only surviving son is Dr. Campbell Brown, a distinguished graduate of Aber- deen University, who is now Professor of Chemistry in University College, Liverpool. Though he had reached the advanced age of 87 years, Mr. Brown retained his mental powers in full vigour to the last. —Daily Free Press.

Joseph Bonner, House Proprietor. Mr. Bonner, who was in his 78th year, began his career as an employe at Grandholm Mills, but left that employment to become an engineer at Foot- dee, subsequently filling a similar situation in Dun- dee. The work was congenial to his tastes, and he was singularly suc- cessful. Within a few years he had obtained such mastery of his profession that he was offered a lucrative position in Russia, which, however, he de- clined. Leaving Dundee, he started business in Glasgow as a blacking manufacturer, and in this particular line he was no less fortunate than in his other ventures. Within a few years he had 1891] IN MEMORIAM. !03 amassed a considerable fortune, which enabled him to purchase properties in Glasgow and Aberdeen. Since his return to his native city on his retirement from business, about ten years ago, Mr. Bonner devoted himself almost entirely to literary pursuits. He was a self-taught man, but, having been all his life an omnivorous reader, he accumulated great stores of information, and was able to turn his knowledge to great advantage. His natural ability was of a high order, and his gifts were much admired by all who knew him. He possessed at one time a very fine library, but he was very liberal with his treasures, and its dimensions in consequence of large donations to various institutions have been considerably diminished.—Aberdeen Journal.

Alexander Burgess, Timber Merchant.

The deceased, who had reached his sixty-sixth year, was born at Logie-Buchan, Slains. He served his apprenticeship as a carpenter, but subsequently started sawmills at Newburgh, the timber used having grown on Deeside and been floated down the river, and thence towed along the coast to Newburgh. About twenty-six years ago Mr. Burgess severed his connection with Newburgh, and came to reside at Dyce, being one of the first to whom a feu was given off. For twelve years he acted as manager of the firm of Richard Connon & Co., who carried on an extensive timber business in Aberdeen and on Deeside, and he then left to enter upon occupation of saw and meal mills at Cluny. After remaining there for four years, he returned to Dyce about twelve years ago, and started the sawmills, where he has ever since carried on a large business, with branch establishments at Cromdale and Nethy Bridge, under the superintendence of his son Alexander. The deceased was widely known, and 104 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

was esteemed by all who came in contact with him. He was a public-spirited, genial, and warm-hearted man ; and everything which tended in any way to promote the welfare of the village of Dyce, received his untiring and most hearty support. A Free Churchman, he, along with Mr. Glashan, took a leading part in promoting the erection of the Free Church, of which he became an office-bearer. He took a large interest in the educational affairs of the parish, and was a member of the first School Board. A Liberal Unionist in politics, he held the appoint- ment of chairman of the Dyce district of the West Aberdeenshire Liberal Unionist Association. He is survived by his wife, a son, and five daughters.— Daily Free Press.

Patrick Moir Byres, of Tonley.

Deceased was born in 1813, and was the second son of Dr. James Moir, a leading physician in Aberdeen during the early years of the present century. He took an active part in religious work, and was esteemed for his geniality and philanthropy. In 1838 he married Maria, eldest daughter of Mr. John White, merchant, Quebec, by whom and a large family he is survived. His heir is Mr. George Moir Byres of Windemerl, Westmoreland. This gentleman was born in 1839, ar,d in 1866 was married to Sophia Matilda, eldest daughter of Mr. Andrew Hume Bulteel, Liverpool.—Aberdeen Journal.

Earl of Caithness.

Mr. Sinclair succeeded to the Earldom of Caithness on the death of the fifteenth earl in May, IN MEMORIAM- 1891]

EARL OF CAITHNESS. 106 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

1890. Mr. Sinclair was descended from Sir James Sinclair of Mey, who was created a baronet in 1631, and who was descended from the fourth Earl of Caithness. This Sir James Sinclair had two sons. One of them, Sir William, was the ancestor of the fifteenth earl, in whose person the family line through him became extinct; from the second son, Robert Sinclair of Durran, Mr. J. A. Sinclair was descended, his father having been Lieutenant-Colonel John Sutherland Sinclair, R.A., born in 1778, who was thrice married. Two sons by the first marriage died unmarried ; the issue by the second marriage was three daughters ; and the newly-deceased peer was the oldest son by the third marriage, the only other surviving son by this marriage being Mr. Charles Home Sinclair, of the Exchequer and Audit Office, London. Deceased was born at Naples in 1827, but spent his early years in Edinburgh, where his father resided. He received his early education at the Edinburgh Academy, and afterwards underwent the course at the Edinburgh University, being trained with the view of taking up the profession of an accountant. He removed from Edinburgh to Aberdeen about the year 1850, having a connection with the city through his mother, who was a daughter of Mr. James Buchan of Auchmacoy. He was appointed Clerk of the Peace of Aberdeenshire—an office he held up to his elevation to the peerage—in 1855, and in 1863 he was appointed agent in Aberdeen for the Bank of Scotland. For more than thirty years he was one of the managers of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, but beyond that connection, and his acting as a manager of the Royal Infirmary, and as hon. treasurer for the Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, he took no prominent part in the public life of the city. He was a moderate Conservative in politics. Mr. Sinclair succeeded to the Earldom of Caithness, as already stated, in May, 1890, but the 1891] IN MEMORIAM. IC7 succession, unfortunately, was a barren heritage, the estates not being entailed, and the last possessor having devised them, without exception, to personal friends of his own. Mr. Sinclair at once retired from business, resigning both the Bank of Scotland agency and the Clerkship of the Peace ; but he continued to reside in Aberdeen up till October, 1890, when he removed with his family to London, taking up his residence at 2 Queen’s Gardens, Hyde Park. Prior to leaving Aberdeen, his lordship was the recipient of several evidences of the regard in which he was held both in the city and the county. From his professional brethren in Aberdeen he received a magnificent bowl centre-piece, the presentation being made by Lord Provost Stewart, who spoke of the deceased nobleman’s bearing as always such “ as became one born to an earldom.” By the tenantry and servants on the estate of Menie, of which his lordship had been factor for thirty years, he was presented with a silver claret jug. And shortly before his departure for London, a lithographed portrait, an excellent likeness, was subscribed for by private friends. The deceased married, in 1855, Jessie, daughter of Mr. Roderick M‘Leod, M.D., and is survived by her and by four sons and four daughters. The eldest son, John Sutherland Sinclair, Lord Berriedale— who now succeeds to the Earldom of Caithness— was born in 1857. He is the owner of a large farm in Dakota, and for a considerable time resided on his property there ; but he recently returned to this country. The second son, Norman M'Leod Sinclair, is a solicitor in London; the third, Rev. Charles Augustus Sinclair, is curate at St. Barnabas, Kensington ; and the fourth, George Arthur Sinclair, is at present being educated at Trinity College, Glenalmond.—Daily Free Press. io8 IN MEMORIAM.

Thomas Coleman, Bar Officer.

A native of Portsmouth, he was in his earlier years a seaman in the Royal Navy, and about twenty-five years ago came to Aberdeen to the training ship “ Winchester,” in which he was a first- class petty officer. From that position, after several years’ service here, he re- tired on a pension. His connection with the Courthouse commenced twelve years ago, when he was appointed as- sistant to Mr. Wm. Richardson as bar officer in the Aber- deen Sheriff Court. With the members of the bar Mr. Coleman was de- servedly a favourite, his innate courtesy, obliging disposi- tion, and happy, kindly nature rendering him extremely popular among the agents. “A crack” or a joke with “ Coleman ” was a pleasant way of passing an interval between the hearing of the cases; and the old man, nothing loth in such pauses, seldom failed to give something racy, either on politics—he was a staunch Conservative—or from his reminiscences of the navy. By the many members of the public with whom his duties brought him in contact Mr. Coleman was also held in high respect. Mr. Coleman was 78 years of age. He leaves a widow, two sons, and three daughters.—Aberdeen Journal. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. IO9

Patrick Cooper, Advocate.

Mr. Cooper was a native of the parish of Kennethmont, in the county of Aberdeen, his father being a farmer in the parish. After being educated in Aberdeen and graduating at King’s College, he was apprenticed to the law in the office of Messrs. Adam & Anderson, and he passed at the Aberdeen bar in 1847. While still quite a young man, he received the appointment of Commissioner to Lord Macdonald in Skye, which was the occasion of bringing his name into some prominence in connection with certain “ clearances ” of crofters carried out by him as agent on his employer’s property in the Western Isles ; but the question is one into the merits of which we need not now enter. Returning to Aberdeen in 1851, Mr. Cooper began business as an advocate on his own account, one of the first things to bring him into notice being his successful defence of Francis Forbes for what was known as the Cults murder—Forbes, charged with murdering a young woman employed at the Culter Paper Mills, was tried before the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh, and the Jury returned a unanimous verdict of “ Not Proven.” Mr. Cooper’s practice, in addition to general Sheriff Court business, included various ecclesiastical cases of some note, he having earned a considerable reputa- tion for acquaintance with that department of legal work. About 1856 Mr. Cooper joined the firm of Messrs. P. & A. Davidson, advocates, the firm assuming the title of Davidsons & Cooper. The partnership terminated in the end of 1868, the firm of Davidsons & Garden being formed soon after and Mr. Cooper resuming business on his own account, being subsequently joined by his eldest son, Mr. Patrick Cooper, jun. Although Mr. Cooper was a staunch Conservative on most questions of general politics, he was no mere blind adherent of his party. I 10 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

On certain questions, indeed — such as those affecting agriculture (on which he had written one or two vigorously-expressed pamphlets, though with- out, at the time, openly acknowledging them)—his views might be described as having in them a touch almost of Radicalism. In 1862 Mr. Cooper entered the Town Council as the representative of the then Third Ward, under the Provostship of his old master, Sir Alexander Anderson. In the following year he was nominated as Master of Shoreworks, but the nomination was objected to on the grounds that he was a lawyer and thus not connected with the trade or shipping of the port, and that he was the legal adviser and paid agent of the St. Nicholas Parochial Board, with whom the Harbour Board had then a dispute as to the rate of assessment of harbour property. Mr. Alexander Nicol was proposed in opposition, but Mr. Cooper was elected by 11 votes to 5. Mr. Cooper retired from the Council in November, 1865, on the expiry of his three years’ term, and did not re-enter municipal life till November, 1871—the first election under a new Municipal Act—when he was returned for the Fourth Ward. He was at once elected City Treasurer, and held that post for the next three years, effecting very considerable reforms in the financing of the Council and, in particular, re-organising the method of book-keeping. Since his retirement from the Town Council in 1874, Mr. Cooper had filled the office of president of the local Chamber of Commerce ; and also, at a later date, of president of the Society of Advocates. While holding this latter office he had conferred upon him by Sheriff Guthrie Smith the appointment of Auditor of the Sheriff Court. He was also for a good many years legal adviser to the St. Nicholas Parochial Board, and secretary to the Hospital for Incurables; and for some years he was chairman of 1891] IN MEMORIAM. I I I the Nigg Parochial Board, being factor for several estates in the parish. The deceased was a man of very distinctive character and views. Upon every subject that engaged his attention he took up his position pretty definitely, and occasionally held to his opinions with great tenacity ; but, as he seldom failed to take a strong and fresh grip of the matter in hand, it was not without profit, even for an opponent, to be able to draw him into a little friendly discussion, to which he never showed himself averse. And with his thorough knowledge of the life of the country, as well as of that of the town, added to his general acquirements, his conversation was at once instructive and agreeable. Mr. Cooper—who was in the 69th year of his age—was twice married—first to Miss Roger, a Rhynie lady, by whom he had two sons, who survive him ; and next to Miss Harriet Kilgour, sister of the late Dr. Alexander Kilgour, who also predeceased him. Mr. Cooper's eldest son, as already mentioned, is an advocate; his second son is Mr. George Cooper, stockbroker and chartered accountant.— Daily Free Press.

James Dow, London. Mr. James Dow was eldest son of the late Mr. James Dow, flesher, Quay, Aberdeen, long Her Majesty’s purveyor to the fleet. Sixteen years ago Mr. Dow went to London, and entered the Central Meat Market at Smithfield, where he found a situa- tion with the then firm of Sawtell & Peace. When the firm dissolved partnership, he remained with Mr. Sawtell, but on the latter accepting the partnership of Mr. Bofeld, Mr. Dow left, and soon after (some thirteen years ago) joined the service of Mr. William Reid, son of the well-known Aberdeenshire cattle I 12 IN MEMORIAM.

Alexander Edmond of Garthdee. The eldest son of Mr. Francis Edmond of Kingswells, LL.D., Mr. Edmond was born in this city in 1836. Like many other of the successful men of the city, he received the early part of his education at the Grammar School, from which he proceeded to Marischal College. The practice of the law had many attractions for him, and he began his legal studies of a practical kind in 1852, when he was apprenticed to his father, whose office was then in the Adelphi. One of his most intimate friends at this time was the late Colonel Duncan, who was also then engaged in the study of the law. It is related of the two companions that they used to meet alternately at each other’s house at seven o’clock in the morning to prosecute their studies together. Joining the Society of Advocates in 1858, he entered into partnership with his father in 1865— the firm being then Edmonds & Macqueen. About two years ago the firm was dissolved, and Mr. Edmond assumed Mr. Alexander Ledingham as a partner. Mr. Edmond’s reputation as a man of business was soon acknowledged, and suffered no check throughout the busy events of a well-filled life. His diligence was indefatigable; his rapidity of performance remarkable. He had, too, an extensive store of exact and readily-available information, and his judgment in business and other matters was greatly relied on. In his factorship of the Kintore estates, in particular, he had an ample field for the exercise of broad, enlightened principles of land management, which secured the confidence of both I89I] IN MEMORIAM.

ALEXANDER EDMOND. 114 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 landlord and tenant. He became a director of the Northern Assurance Company, and held similar positions in the Great North of Scotland Railway Company, the Aberdeen Land Association, and other important rpercantile concerns. He was also law adviser to the North of Scotland Banking Company. On the death of Mr. John Smith, he was elected President of the Society of Advocates, and he was the second who had been appointed to that post permanently. His liberality of opinion was evidenced by the fact that in January, 1888, he submitted a motion to the proper authorities, which is best indicated in its own terms—“ That the existing rules which preclude the Society from admitting, on any conditions, many of the enrolled law agents in practice in Aberdeen, on their own account, who would be desirable members of the Society, operate against the best interests of the Society, and should be altered.” This motion was defeated, but those who were opposed to Mr. Edmond in the matter were the first to recognise his single-heartedness in the course of action he had considered it his duty to take. Recognition of Mr. Edmond’s abilities also came from other quarters. In February, 1887, the Lords of Council and Session appointed him an examiner of law agents, a position which calls for the exercise of much tact, as well as of extensive and exact legal knowledge. Mr. Edmond was not content to remain a mere student of legal matters, inviting though such studies were to one of his bent. He took a special interest in the volunteer movement, and held one of the six earliest volunteer commissions issued in the north of Scotland. An offer of promotion to the command of his company was made, but as this was before the introduction of the system of battalions, the work in connection with the volunteer force was felt to be so arduous that Mr. Edmond, in consideration of his increasing business and other responsibilities, felt 1891] IN MEMORIAM. US compelled to resign his position, a decision which was received with universal regret by all his comrades. The gentler arts also claimed Mr. Edmond as a devotee, and Aberdeen is in no small way indebted to him for any claims it may have to be considered as a musical community. He became associated with the Choral Union in 1858, and entered heartily into all the arrangements for the diffusion of musical taste which that organisation carried out, and for many years he held the position of president, giving every assistance in his power towards producing works of high musical art in the city. His services to the public in the capacity of a manager of the Royal Infirmary were most valuable while the internal management of the institution was in course of remodelling. Much arduous work fell to his lot as convener of the committee, and on his retirement from office, after that special business, was completed, he received the cordial thanks of the managers. In university matters he took a deep interest. Since his appointment as an assessor to the Court, he has taken a large share in the deliberations of that body ; and it is understood that the scheme of extension now under discussion found in him a warm supporter. Mr. Edmond was also chairman of the Educational Trust, in the preliminary organisation of which his business talents and legal knowledge were of great value. It was to the affairs of the county, however, that he devoted most time and attention. As a Commissioner of Supply for nearly 30 years, he all along took an interest in the business, but particularly during the past ten years. In 1883, on the promotion of Sheriff-Substitute Thomson to the Sheriffdom of Ayr, Mr. Edmond succeeded to the chairmanship of the Local Authority, under the Contagious Diseases Act. This post he resigned in 1889. His six years of office proved a busy period. 1 16 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

He was frequently consulted by the Privy Council as to the legislation affecting cattle. Personally, Mr. Edmond was much esteemed by those who had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with his mental gifts and manly qualities. A man of equable temperament, he invariably took a calm, just view of things. Nor was this bent of mind inconsistent with a delightful frankness and kindliness which attracted and retained hosts of friends both in public and private life. Thus, with men of all parties, he stood in high esteem. Though not a party man, his instincts were strongly Conservative. Naturally, therefore, though a Free Churchman, he had no sympathy with the dis- establishers in that denomination, and indeed was amongst the first to join the Laymen’s League. He was married in i860 to Miss M'Kenzie, a daughter of Major Roderick M'Kenzie of Kincraig, Ross- shire, by whom he is survived. He leaves no issue. The beautiful little estate of Garthdee, overlooking the Dee, near Cults, he purchased about twelve years ago.—Aberdeen Journal.

Dr. Thomas Farquhar.

Surgeon-Major Thomas Farquhar was the youngest son of Rev. Alexander Farquhar, minister of the parish of Pitsligo. Educated at the Grammar School of Aberdeen, he graduated in Arts at the University here, and then, proceeding to the , took his M.D. degree there. At an early age he joined the Indian Service, and was in medical charge of the Guide Corps in the Eusufzai campaign, and was present at the battles of Chillianwalla and Guzerat. In the Punjaub he formed lasting friendships both with the English and Afghan officers. And while he endeared himself to 1891] in MEMORIAM. < 117

them by his earnest, genial, and unselfish disposition, he at the same time, by his enthusiastic admiration of the Punjaubee character, gained the affections of the native community. He was thus not only a favourite with all classes of the community there, but became the special friend of such distinguished men as Sir Hebert Edwardes and the distinguished brothers Lawrence. In 1856, he was transferred to the North- West Provinces, where he was signally useful in the • terrible outbreak of cholera at Agra in that year. In the following year he rendered invaluable services by his courageous attitude—for he ever was the fearless Christian hero—in the mutiny of 1857, and by his services, both as a doctor and as a philanthropist, to the community shut up for many months in the Agra Fort, as well as by joining in the action which on the 5th of July was fought under its walls. After returning home for a short time, when he married the daughter of the late Captain Sandilands Fisher, of the Seaforth Highlanders, he was selected by Lord Lawrence as his body surgeon, which post he held during the whole of Lord Lawrence’s Vice-royalty, and he continued to enjoy the confidence and friendship of that eminent Indian statesman to the end of his life. On returning to Aberdeen, his life, though less public, was not less devoted to the service of the community around him. He will long be remembered in connection with the North Lodge School, which, soon after his return from India, he took over as a heritage from his amiable and lamented brother, Mr. Robert Farquhar Spottiswood, and in the management of which he has for the last 17 years been the right hand of the Ladies’ Committee. He gathered a large proportion of the inmates himself from the slums of the city, and made himself acquainted with all the girls, who knew him as their personal friend, and were won by his gentle, simple, loving words and acts towards them. And his interest in I Il8 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 them continued to follow them even after they left the school. Attached to the school, Dr. Farquhar founded the drill hall service and Sunday morning breakfast for the children’s parents, who were too poor to go to church; and while it was yet dark of a cold wintry Sunday morning, he might be seen visiting the lodging-houses trying to persuade the poor creatures to come to the meal and service thus prepared for them. In every good work, social and religious, in this' city Dr. Farquhar took an earnest and active part. Especially so, it may be mentioned, in respect of the police force, in which both Mrs. Farquhar and he took an earnest and active interest, and he often gave addresses at their meetings, at which he was wont to take the chair. He lived latterly much at Westhill, a small property in Skene, where he was greatly beloved by all the cottagers and tenantry around. He was recently elected a member of the District Committee of the County Council for Kinnellar ; and he was also a Justice of the Peace for the county of Aberdeen. In short, Dr. Farquhar was one of those men who live not for themselves but for others. He ever thought of other interests, not of his own ; and spent his energies and strength for the welfare, both temporal and spiritual, of all around him or with whom he might be brought in contact. We may well mourn his loss, for we are not likely soon to look upon his like again.—Daily Free Press.

John Findlater, Banker. Mr. Findlater, who was in the sixty-third year of his age, was born in Aberchirder, where his father for many years carried on business as a general merchant. After receiving the ordinary educational training afforded by the parish school, J891] IN MEMOR1AM. IJ9

JOHN FINDLATEK. 120 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Mr. Findlater began his banking career by entering as an apprentice the office of the Commercial Bank at Banff. On the conclusion of his apprenticeship he was transferred to the branch of the bank at Turriff, and subsequently proceeded to the head-office in Edinburgh, being very soon afterwards promoted to an appointment on the inspecting staff. Sub- sequently he became joint agent of the bank at Kirkcaldy, where he remained for several years, carrying on the business with singular success. His conspicuous merit as a banker secured for him the important appointment of manager of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, with its head-quarters in Belfast. There Mr. Findlater remained until about seven years ago, when, on the retirement of the late Mr. Rorie, he accepted the post in Aberdeen which he held at his death. When chosen for the manager- ship of the Town and County Bank, Mr. Findlater was also offered the position of managing director of a Belfast bank, but he declined the offer and elected to come to Aberdeen. As a banker Mr. Findlater was deservedly held in very high esteem by his professional brethren ; and, that his regime in Aberdeen has been attended with the best results, the published yearly records of the bank’s business ever since he assumed the manager- ship abundantly testify. At once clear-headed and in the highest degree courteous to all, of whatever rank or position, with whom he was brought into contact, the deceased gentleman possessed a rare equability of temperament, and a balance of mind so even that nothing seemed to disturb it ; and even in the most urgent pressure of business he was never flurried, never in such haste as to fail of having time to give a patient and careful hearing to any one that had a claim to be heard. His exceedingly pleasant natural disposition had, indeed, gained for him the esteem, not only of those who had business relations with the bank of which he was manager, but of 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 121 all who had the pleasure and privilege of his acquaintance. By the staff of officials serving under him he was held in the highest respect and esteem. Mr. Findlater, who in addition to a full and accurate knowledge of the principles of banking, and an excellent knowledge of commercial law generally, was remarkably well read in general literature, had a distinct liking for the fine arts, and was possessed of very discriminative artistic taste. In politics he was a Liberal Unionist. A member of the Chamber of Commerce, he was a regular attender at meetings of the Council, and in all the affairs of that association he took an active interest—often when banking and kindred questions were under discussion taking a leading part in the debates. All along he had a liking for farming, and after some years’ experience as joint-tenant with his late brother of the farm of Milltack, he became and was at his death tenant of the beautifully-situated farm of Kinbroon, . He was fond of active exercise, and delighted in the bracing game of golf. A Free Churchman by religious persuasion, he was a member of the Free West congregation. Mr. Findlater married Miss Stock, a Kirkcaldy lady, by whom and three sons he is survived. The eldest son has entered upon a business career, being at present at Gordon’s Mills ; the second son is attending the University ; and the third is at present studying at Fettes College, Edinburgh.—Daily Free Press.

R. B. N. Findlater, Wine Merchant.

Mr. Findlater commenced his business career as a clerk in the audit department of the Great North Railway, and afterwards entered the firm of Black & Ferguson, wine merchants, Adelphi, Aberdeen, in the capacity of traveller. His business abilities were 122 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

soon recognised, and eight years ago, on the death of Mr. Ferguson, he became principal partner of the firm. The deceased gentleman took a great interest in - thevolunteer move- ment, and bore the rank of Captain in the Aberdeen Volunteer Engi- neers. He was also a keen golfer, and a gentleman of a most genial nature, which endeared him to a wide circle of friends. Mr. Findlater was a native of Kincar- dineshire,his father being one of the officials on the Glenbervie estate. About four years ago he married, his wife being one of the Rose-lnnes family of Blackree, Fyvie, by whom he has one son.—Northern Daily News.

Lieutenant-Colonel Firebrace, Royal Artillery.

Colonel Firebrace held a distinguished place in his profession, and was comparatively young, being only in his 49th year. Born in November, 1842, he was a native of Newport (Isle of Wight), where his family has long been resident. He entered the Royal Artillery as lieutenant on 25th June, 1862, and was promoted to a captaincy in 1875 while engaged as Assistant Garrison Instructor at Bengal, in which post he remained for two years, viz., from 7th 1891] IN MEMORIAM^ 123

September, 1874, till 25th September, 1876. Returning home he was stationed on duty in various places, and was adjutant of the Kent Artillery from 1st March, 1880, till xst March, 1885. He received his majority ori 25th June, 1882, and was raised to the rank of Lieu- tenant-Colonel in October, 1889. For a couple of years, while major, he commanded a battery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and after being a year on half pay, received the command of the 2nd Sub-District in succession to Colonel Burgmann.— A berdeen Journal.

Alexander D. Forbes.

The deceased gentleman was the son of Dr. John Forbes, Old Aberdeen, his half-brother being Professor Forbes, late of King’s College. Mr. Forbes in early life went to India as an indigo planter. He was at Dacca during the Mutiny, taking part in the attack by European residents and sailors to disarm the Sepoy garrison, when 15 were killed on the one side and about 40 on the other. Mr. Forbes, who was an excellent scholar—taking a 124 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

life-long interest, especially in Greek—had a strong literary faculty. While at Dacca, he issued a news- paper, called the “ Dacca News.” This was a very plucky effort. Mr. Forbes setting up the type himself on a small parlour printing press for the earlier numbers, until he trained the natives to be printers. He also edited the “ Bengal Hurkaru ” for nearly two years. Mr. Forbes, who came home many years ago, led a very retired life in the curious old house beside the Grammar School that was pulled down to make way for Esslemont Avenue. His active mind refused, however, to let him lead an idle life, and as an amusement, he returned to his early experience with the “ Dacca News,” and issued from his own printing press a very curious little magazine— probably the most curious that ever was published in Aberdeen. This was the“ Castle Spectre,” now very rare, which, though appearing for twelve years, was quite unknown to the general public of Aberdeen. The “Castle Spectre” made its first appearance on 21st October, 1876, with the intimation that “we [the publishers] are the dwellers in that house in the neighbourhood of Skene Street, known to the oldest inhabitant as the Haunted House, to the younger inhabitants as the Castle, and to the Post Office as No. 6 Mackie Place.” This curious production continued to appear monthly as a four-page quarto, for twelve years, vanishing on 1st October, 1888, and it was paged continuously from beginning to end. “ Every type in its 608 pages,” it announced in its closing number, “ with the exception of a few paragraphs in its earlier numbers, which were set up by the junior “ Spectres ”—presumably Mr. Forbes’s family—“ has been put into its place by the “Spectre ”—Mr. Forbes—“ himself.” The paper was beautifully printed, and is a marvel of amateur typography. The earlier numbers contained some woodcuts the work of Miss Ella, daughter of John Hill Burton. The contributors to the “ Spectre ” 1891] IN MEMORIAM 12$ were nearly all young people, friends of Mr. Forbes, who, in “vanishing,” announced that the staff consisted of “ 49 female writers, 10 male, and 8 anonymous—of whom four appeared to be male and four female.” The contributions of this large staff consisted mostly of stories and poems. Some of the stories ran to considerable length. Mr. Forbes himself occupied nearly all the later numbers with a very curious “ Diatessaron,” in beginning which he promised that the “ Spectre ” should vanish as soon as he finished this “ magnum opus,” “ leaving behind him an odour, but whether of sulphur or sanctity, it is for others to say.” From 130 to 140 numbers of each number were printed. The magazine is consequently very rare. As Mr. Forbes puts it in his closing number, a set of the .paper might start a male baby of to-day in business, or dower a female one, for by the time they have grown up a gold mine will not purchase it.” Mr. Forbes, who greatly resented the demolition of his “ haunted house,” and who wrote some very pungent paragraphs against the promoters of Esslemont Avenue in the pages of the “ Spectre,” had latterly been living at The Galleries. Mr. Forbes married a French lady, who predeceased him many years ago, and he is survived by two sons and two daughters.—Daily Free Press.

John Forbes, South Auchinclech, Skene.

Mr. Forbes was a son of a former minister at , and at an early age went to Ceylon to push his fortune, where he became a successful planter, and whence he returned about thirty years ago, and purchased the land of South Auchinclech, on which he has resided ever since. Mr. Forbes was a genial, hospitable, kind-hearted gentleman, with many of the feelings and 126 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

characteristics of the old Highland chieftain. He was a great lover of the country, and was ardently attached to his native hills, and until recently visited them yearly, and took an eager interest in the Highland games which were celebrated in Strathdon. Mr. Forbes was at one time captain of the volunteer force of the district, and has been for some years a J.P. for Aberdeenshire. In society he was always interesting and agreeable, being highly intelligent, well acquainted with the most important passages of Scottish history, and full of fresh and racy anecdote. He was a staunch Conservative in politics, and deeply attached to the Church of his fathers. Mr. Forbes leaves a widow, but no family.—Aberdeen Journal.

Colonel J. G. C. Fraser.

Although the deceased gentleman resided principally in Edinburgh since his retirement from the army, he was a native of Aberdeen, and was educated at the Grammar School and University of this city. He entered the army at the age of sixteen, and from the first took a good position in India, having at a very early period of his career received several important appointments. A correspondent of the Scotsman, writing in reference to the deceased officer, says:— Colonel J. G. C. Fraser, late of the Madras Fusiliers, whose death at Edinburgh, on the 4th inst., as announced last week, was one of that heroic force which, under Havelock, fought its way from Cawnpore to Lucknow to relieve the beleaguered garrison of the Residency. Those who can recall the events, or those who have since read the history of the Indian Mutiny, may probably remember that as soon as Colonel Neill with his regiment, the Madras Fusiliers, reached Cawnpore, Havelock determined to attempt the relief of Lucknow, leaving Neill with about two hundred men, mostly sick and wounded, to hold Cawnpore. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 127

Havelock’s first advance was made with an inadequate force, consisting of the 78th Highlanders, the Madras Fusiliers, and some detachments from other British regiments. After fighting two battles, he found himself unable to place in line more than 850 men, and he had to return to Cawnpore with his sick and wounded. Being reinforced to a total of 1400 men and a number of guns, he, a week afterwards, renewed his advance into Oude. After another battle with the mutineers, his force was reduced by cholera and fever to less than 900. With this number he saw that it would be impossible to force his way through the host of mutineers in his front, and he reluctantly decided to return to Cawnpore, fighting another successful battle before he did so. At last a force of 3179 men, including artillery and volunteer horse, was collected at Cawnpore and advanced on Lucknow. Till its arrival there, about ten days afterwards, there was almost incessant fighting. In all Havelock’s advances and in the actions fought under that General, Fraser, then a captain, was present and bore an active and distinguished part. In those days of hard fighting there were no “ specials” present to blazon the deeds of individuals, and Fraser was the last man to blazon his own; but, in truth, every officer and man in Havelock’s brigade was a hero. Colonel Malleson, the latest historian of the Indian Mutiny, thus alludes to that force :—“There remained to Outram, to Havelock, and to their gallant comrades, the inspiring conviction that by greatly daring they had accomplished a feat unsurpassed in the history of war.” At Lucknow, Fraser was dangerously wounded by a bullet through the neck. His life was despaired of, and he lay in the temporary camp hospital of the Residency until the relief of the garrison by Lord Clyde, when, with no little difficulty, the wounded were removed to Calcutta. Neill wrote of him:—“Captain Fraser is an; officer in whom I have the utmost confidence in any emergency.” After the relief of Lucknow, he received a- brevet majority and a pension for his wound, but there can be little doubt that, had either Neill or Havelock survived, Fraser would have received further recognition for the gallantry he had displayed on many occasions, on some of them when he held detached command. He was a modest, unassuming man, a gallant soldier, and a steadfast friend. 128 IN MEMORIAM. [rBgi

By his long service and the wounds which he received at Lucknow, Colonel Fraser’s health was considerably impaired, and he was consequently unfitted for much active work, but he exerted a quiet influence for good, and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. In politics he was Conservative, and in Church matters he was a loyal supporter of the Free Church. When in Aberdeen, he was a regular worshipper in the Free East Church. He latterly became a member of Pilrig Free Church, Edinburgh, by which congregation he was held in deserved respect. The deceased officer was unmarried, and is survived by two sisters and three brothers, one of whom is Mr. Gray C. Fraser, advocate.—Daily Free Press.

Rev. Henry Gall.

The deceased, who was a native of Aberdeen, was first educated at Blairs College, and then proceeded to the Scotch College at Valladolid, in Spain. On his return from Spain in 1847, he again entered Blairs College to finish his studies in philosophy and divinity, and he was ordained in 1852. For a number of years he was priest at Tomintoul, after which he once more returned to Blairs in the capacity of professor. He lived for some time at Bruges, Belgium, and latterly he had been living in Paris. The deceased was an excellent student, and was possessed of abilities of a very high order. He studied in several of the large Continental libraries, and it is believed that he has, as the result of that, left some interesting works. He was an enthusiastic antiquarian, and contributed pretty largely to “Scottish Notes and Queries.’—■ Daily Free Press. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 129

James Murray Garden, Advocate.

Born on 18th December, 1845, Mr. Murray Garden was the oldest of a family of four sons and one daughter. His father, the late Mr. James Garden, was a member of the long well-known, and as widely respected, firm of Murray & Garden. Educated at Aberdeen Grammar School and University, he passed rapidly through the curriculum, and took his degree of M.A. at a much earlier age than is usual; eager to begin the practical business of life. He served his apprenticeship in the office of his father’s firm, and from the first gave evidence of the appetite and capacity for work that characterised the busy career of his life. He threw his mind and energy into every piece of work that devolved upon him, thoroughly mastered his case in its every principle and detail, and made impressive appearances in Court when he had occasion to plead a cause ; though of late years his practice had been entirely that of his chambers and of consultation. He was assumed as a partner by his father, and about twenty years ago the firm was amalgamated with that of Messrs. Davidson, one of the most influential legal establishments in the north. When Mr. Murray Garden’s father died in 1884, a larger share of work and of responsibility naturally devolved upon him, and it was matter of wonder that, notwithstanding the number and weight of his professional engagements, he could spare the time and energy that he devoted to the interests of educational, religious, and philanthropic work. A loyal Free Churchman, he gave attention to all questions affecting the welfare and progress of that denomination, as well as to the congregational affairs of the Free East Church, in which he was a member of session. He did specially memorable work in connection with the Bible class of that [1891 IN MEMORIAM.

TAMES MURRAY GARDEN 1891] IN MKMORIAM. 13* congregation. His teaching of this class was. undertaken in the first instance to relieve Mr. Selkirk, the pastor of the congregation, whose health was giving way. By the instructive and attractive style of his teaching he drew to the class many young men unconnected with the congregation. He carried into Biblical research and study the same discrimination, thoroughness, and assiduity that marked his professional and public labours. He had intimately acquainted himself with the topography of the Holy Land, in the illustration of which he used a large scale ordnance map. He was familiar with the ancient history of Palestine, and had it clearly connected in his mind with modern history, which he brought up to the present day, thus giving his expositions a fresh living interest which could not fail to tell on the minds of his scholars. To his professional work he turned as matter of duty, but to Biblical subjects he turned as to those for which he had a predilection ; and it was always evident to his scholars that his painstaking preparation for the work of his class had been to him a labour of love. As a mark of their appreciation they presented him with a handsome antique brass clock and candle- sticks. His theological views were of an evangelical but broadly liberal character. The spirit of his religion was essentially bright and up-lifting. Sursum cor da was its constant key-note. He resented narrowness of creed, and in the Free Church Assembly, of which he was regularly a member, he naturally found himself in alliance with the advanced party. He stood resolutely by the side of Professor Robertson Smith while his case occupied the Church Courts, and last year he was among the defenders of Dr. Dods and Dr. Bruce. As a controversialist he was so uniformly fair, courteous, and considerate that he commanded the regard of Church leaders on both sides, and was a general favourite in the Assembly, which he occasionally addressed, and the 132 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

respectful attention of which he always commanded. He was an active and influential member of several of the Committees of the Free Church, including that on Revision of the Confession of Faith. It was he who, in Aberdeen, seconded Principal Brown’s overture in favour of revising the Confession. Along with ex-Sheriff Dove Wilson and Mr. Alexander Edmond, Mr. Murray Garden threw him- self with characteristic devotion into the movement for re-modelling and extending the Royal Infirmary. He not merely addressed meetings and stirred public enthusiasm over the matter, but threw himself with energy into the multitude of details that had to be digested and matured in committee, bestowing on the undertaking his time, thought, and energy in no unstinted measure. When the reconstruction of the great charity had happily been arranged for, and after Provost Jamieson resigned office, Mr. Murray Garden was, about two years ago, elected chairman of the directors of the Lunatic Asylum. In framing the annual reports of that institution he took a leading part. He was also deeply interested in an institution nearly allied to the Royal Infirmary—the Sick Children’s Hospital, with which he was identified from its inception in 1877. Along with ex-Sheriff Dove Wilson and other gentlemen, he presided over the inauguration of the enterprise, and his interest in its operations had never abated. He subsequently rejoiced to see it doing its beneficent work efficiently under good management. Mr. Murray Garden’s practical and familiar acquaintance with Sunday School work led to his being appointed chairman of the Aberdeen Sabbath School Union, a post which he held for three years. He was one of the directors of the Town and County Bank, and recently chairman of that body. He was also a director of the North of Scotland Canadian Mortgage Company, and of the Sickness and Accident Assurance Association, Limited. From 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 133

1882 to 1884 he was a member of the Aberdeen School Board and chairman of its Finance Committee. Finance was a favourite study with him, and one of which he had remarkable mastery. His skill as an accountant was early evidenced by the elaborate report he was commissioned to prepare on the position of the Guildry Funds, some twenty years ago. Mr. Murray Garden also took a prominent and useful part in the proceedings of the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce. The subject with which, in this connection, he had of late most prominently identified himself was the formation of a Board of Conciliation for the settlement of industrial disputes. As chairman of the committee on that subject, he succeeded, by his practical tact and sagacity, in maturing and carrying into effect the present arrangement, under which a fixed number of representative workmen, and an equal number of employers, have been appointed to act in such matters when their services may be called for. At the County Council Election, Mr. Murray Garden was returned for ’the Northern Division of Newhills; and he rendered important service in connection with the difficult and delicate work of getting that important new governing body put in motion—no everyday task in the case of elaborate and untried machinery. His business talents and training, as well as his wide experience, were of distinct value to the Council. Mr. Murray Garden was also for several years chairman of the Parochial Board of Newhills. From the duties of that office he frequently asked to be relieved, but it was felt that his services were too valuable to be parted with. A few years ago Mr. Murray Garden became president of the Royal Horticultural Society when its finances were at. a low ebb. His enthusiasm and K 134 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 business capacity inspired into it the new life and vigour in which it continues to flourish. Mr. Murray Garden was also president of the Choral Union, which he benefited greatly by his influence and counsel; and he was president of the Aberdeen Shorthand Writers’ Association. In November last, the Marquis of Huntly, on his election as Lord Rector of the University, appointed Mr. Murray Garden Assessor at the University Court, but he was never able to take his seat. In politics, Mr. Murray Garden was a Con- servative. He was elected two years ago chairman of the then newly-constituted association, and threw himself into the work with his accustomed vigour. He was one of the earliest to recognise and to emphasise the importance of confidence and co- operation between Liberal Unionists and Conserva- tives on the great question affecting the integrity of the United Kingdom. As chairman of the united committees of the two sections, he presided at a banquet given in the Imperial Hotel to T. W. Russell, Esq., M.P., and made on that occasion a speech of breadth and courage so statesmanlike that, not long after, he was invited to become a candidate for the representation of South Aberdeen. He declined for reasons similar to those that had led him to decline standing for the Provostship—the burden of his personal and professional duties. As a public speaker Mr. Murray Garden was always welcome. For years he was a guest at the annual dinner of the Convener Court of the Incorporated Trades, where his speech was looked forward to as a feature of the evening’s enjoyment. Mr. Murray Garden married in 1876 the eldest daughter of the late Mr. James Bryce, advocate. He is survived by her and by a family of two sons and four daughters.—Aberdeen Journal. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 135

Samuel Garrioch.

By the death of Mr. Garrioch a familiar figure, and in many respects a most remarkable man, has passed away. To many his tall person and long flowing beard, suggestive of John Knox, must have been well-known, as book in hand he traversed the streets. Nor was the resemblance to the great reformer merely external. Naturally delicate, he found in books the relaxation which a more vigorous frame might have looked for elsewhere. In general literature he was widely read, but especially in theology, while his knowledge of the Scriptur-es was most striking. For many years he took an active part in the work carried on by Academy Street Baptist Church, where latterly he regularly preached. His high Christian character and the interest he took in all social and religious work endeared him to all with whom he came in contact.—Daily Free Press.

Miss Christian Gibson.

Miss Gibson, who was a woman of strong personal character, and who was endowed with a physical constitution that seemed to defy fatigue, was gifted with a temper that nothing could ruffle even in the most unpleasant circumstances, and with a faculty that refused to be repressed of successfully soliciting donations from tardy and unwilling contributors. Her peculiar success in the way of collecting funds for charitable purposes, indeed, may be attributed to the transparently unselfish character of her disposition. At all hours and seasons, Miss Gibson's active figure might have been seen in the streets in pursuit of some charitably disposed individual on whom she reckoned she could rely for a subscription. For several years she took upon 136 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

herself the responsibility of collecting a handsome sum to defray the cost of keeping idiot boys in Larbert Imbecile Institution, and by the directors of that body her unselfish services will be greatly missed. The deceased was one of the oldest members of the Free East Church congregation.— Northern Daily News.

Robert Gossip, Journalist.

Mr. Gossip, who was a native of Aberdeen, and first tried his hand at journalistic work there, was well known to members of the newspaper press throughout Scotland. He was one of the oldest pressmen of the time, and had had a very varied experience in newspaper work. In the early part of his career he was connected with papers in Inverness and one or two English proviacial towns ; and, coming back to Scotland, he attached himself successively to the “ Glasgow Courier,” the “Caledonian Mercury,” and the “N.B. Daily Mail.” He afterwards returned to the Scottish capital, and became interim editor of the “ Daily Review,” a post which he held for some time. Latterly he was unattached, but was a valued contributor to various papers in different parts of the Kingdom, including “ The Daily Mail,” “ Spectator,” and the “ Nonconformist.” Gifted with a very tenacious memory, which enabled him to have his information always well at command, Mr. Gossip wielded a facile pen, and on many questions wrote vigorously and well. He was married, but had been a widower for some years, and leaves several grown-up daughters.—Daily Free Press. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 137

John Gray, Engineer.

Mr. Gray, though head of the large engineering firm of M‘Kinnon & Co., Spring Garden, is perhaps best known to the citizens as the generous donor of the Art School which bears his name. He expended on the erection of this fine building a sum of £5000. What led him to bestow a portion of his wealth on this object was the remembrance of the difficulties he had himself to struggle with in his early days from the want of a training such as is supplied in this institution. He has been spared, fortunately, to see the object of his generosity prosper in a marked degree. Every year on an average between 400 and 500 students, apprentices in the various branches of industry in the city, have taken advantage of the course of instruction provided in the evening classes. Mr. Gray devoted much of his leisure to the development of the working arrangements. In the hall of the school stands his bust, presented to him by his fellow-citizens in 1886 as a mark of their appreciation of his gift. John Gray was born in the village of Cumines- town, parish of Monquhitter, Aberdeenshire, in the year 1811. His father, George Gray, was a mill- wright and general carpenter near Fraserburgh. He died at the great age of 102. About the year 1830 John left the parental home and came to Aberdeen to push his fortune. He had an idea that this would be surer of accomplishment if he learned a kindred branch of his business, viz., house carpentry, and to this he applied himself with vigour. Having the rudiments of it already, he was not long in acquiring proficiency. While thus engaged, he was employed occasionally in the establishment of Messrs. William M'Kinnon & Co., engineers and ironfounders, Spring Garden ; and his energy, handiness, and general skill, brought him into the notice of the heads of the business. He soon found IN MEMORIAM.

JOHN GRAY. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 139 permanent work in the pattern shop of this large firm, whose business he was able to extend through his knowledge of the millwright craft. It was the old story of patience and perseverance, fidelity and ability, forcing their possessor on to prominence. In due time he reaped the reward of his merit. When, on the death of Mr. Wm. M'Kinnon, about 25 years ago, the business was taken up by his eldest son, the late Mr. Lachlan M'Kinnon, advocate, Mr. Gray became a partner, and thus for many years he has been at the head of the establishment in which he commenced as an employ^. Increasing years and failing health have latterly rendered him unfit for the active duties of the office, and he has assumed other partners of experience to help him, but down to within a week of his death he had been in daily attendance at the works taking an intelligent interest in all that was going on. As an employer, he was firm but kindly in his relations with those in his employment. A homely, undemonstrative, unostentatious man, he preserved to the last his simplicity of character, and a characteristic was his fondness in private life for speaking the broad doric of his native Buchan. Mr. Gray’s connection with public affairs begun twenty-two years ago, when he stood for a seat at the Town Council in the days of the Party of Progress. He was returned for the Third Ward in November, 1869. He served for three years at that time, and then retired. He returned again, however, in 1880, and held office till 1888, when he finally left the Council. He strenuously refused to take a Baillieship, and the only office he could be prevailed upon to fill was that of the Master of Guild Brethren’s Hospital. When ex-Baillie Paterson retired, Mr. Gray, who had taken a deep interest in the water supply, readily consented to become convener of that committee. While a Councillor, he was ex-officio a member of Gordon’s College, and 140 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

of the committee who managed the Art School. A proposal that keenly evoked his interest was the erection of a Public Library, and it was he who, appropriately enough, wrote to Mr. Carnegie asking a subscription, Mr. Carnegie responded by giving £1000. He was himself naturally desirous that the library should be in contiguity to the Art School, and as an earnest of his support he expressed himself ready to give, under certain burdens, a sum of £4000 towards its erection on the site at the north-east corner of Belmont Street and Schoolhill. It was found, however, that the site could not be obtained except at a very much higher figure than the Corporation were prepared to expend ; so the generous offer came to nothing. But what the library lost perhaps the Free South Church gained. Not long afterwards that flourishing congregation, with which he was connected, decided to remove to a new and larger building than that which they now occupy, and Mr. Gray gave a handsome donation, amounting to several thousands of pounds, towards the cost. The Church, the finest ecclesiastical building in the city, is now nearing completion, and Mr. Gray’s death at this time is all the more regrettable in that he has not been spared to witness the opening of an edifice in which he took an enthusiastic interest. Mr. Gray leaves no family. In 1840 he married an Aberdeen lady, Miss Burgess, who died in 1879 ; and since that time he has resided with his sister-in- law7 and a niece.—Aberdeen Journal.

William A. Gray, B.A.

By the death of William A. Gray, son of our townsman, Mr. A. R. Gray, the city has lost one of the most promising of its younger sons, and a wide 1891J IN MEMORIAM. 141 circle of friends have been deprived of one who had a very deep place in their affections. Mr. Gray’s career as a student has been one of great distinction. In our own university he carried off some of the highest honours, and at the end of his second session there he resolved to enter the University of Glasgow, with the view of competing for the Snell Exhibition. He succeeded in this, and entered Balliol College, Oxford. He had a brilliant career in Oxford, obtaining a first class in moderations, and again a first class in the final school of Literae Humaniores. On finishing his course in Oxford, he decided on giving himself to the study of medicine, and with that object spent two sessions in Edinburgh. Mr. Gray was a member of Queen’s Cross congregation. His bright, unselfish, happy disposition, and his simple Christian character made him many friends there and elsewhere. None could know him without admiring him for his talents and loving him for himself.—Aberdeen Journal.

Rev. William Grundy.

The deceased gentleman was the eldest son of the late Rev. William James Grundy, D.D., some time incumbent of St. James’ the Less, , London, but afterwards (and for many years) a resident in Aberdeen and neighbourhood, par- ticularly at the Heathcot Hydropathic establishment. He was born in 1850, and was educated—first at St. John’s Foundation School for the Sons of Clergy, and then at Rossall, Fleetwood, Lancashire. While at Rossall he won the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society for physical geography, competed for by most of the great schools; and he was also successful in winning the Rossall exhibition and an open scholarship at Worcester College, Oxford. 142 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Proceeding to Oxford in 1870, he obtained a first- class in Classical Moderations, and a second in the Final Classical Schools; and in 1875 he was elected a Fellow of Worcester College by open competition. For nearly three years he was in residence at Worcester College, taking part in the teaching, discipline, and management of the College. In 1878 he was ordained by Dr. Mackarness, Bishop of Oxford ; and in March of that year he was appointed Head Master’s assistant at Rossall, under Rev. H. A. James, now Principal of Cheltenham College. He left Rossall in 1880, having been appointed Head Master of the King’s Grammar School, Warwick. He discharged the duties of this post for five years ; and in 1885 was appointed, in succession to Rev. Charles T. Cruttwell, Head Master of Malvern College. Mr. Grundy had greatly improved the status of Malvern College, and his work there was favourably commented upon in some recent articles in a London contemporary on the great public schools of England. According to the “Times,” he was a man of great judgment and remarkable powers of organisation, and in six years had doubled the number of boys at his college. For four years he had been chairman of tfie local board, and recently took a prominent part in carrying out a scheme of water supply. Mr. Grundy was the author of a work on Aristotle, published by the Christian Knowledge Society. He married, about ten years ago, the eldest daughter of the late Mr. (some time Baillie) Adam Mitchell, builder, Aberdeen, and is survived by her and by four children.—Daily bree Press.

Dr. John G. Hall.

Dr. Hall was a son of the late Mr. John Hall, merchant, Aberdeen, and brother of Mr. Harvey 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 143

Hall, advocate, Aberdeen. He studied at Aberdeen University, and graduated M.B., C.M. in 1873. After graduation he visited the Continent, and studied for a time in the hospitals at Prague, Vienna, and Paris, spending also, before returning

home, a short time in the London hospitals. On coming back to Aberdeen, Dr. Hall began the practice of his profession. After he had been a short time engaged in active practice, he was appointed a physician to the Dispensary, and in 144 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

1880 was elected junior surgeon at the Royal Infirmary. Last year, on the resignation .of Dr. Ogilvie Will, he was chosen a member of the visiting staff. For several years he held the important appointment of assistant to Dr. Dyce Davidson, Professor of Materia Medica. He was Surgeon to the Engineer Volunteers, and was accustomed to give special lectures to the corps on ambulance work, while he also held the post of Surgeon to the Boys’ and Girls’ Hospitals under the old regime. Dr. Hall was a man of a very quiet and amiable disposition. He was an elder in the West Parish Church. Possessed of fine musical tastes, the deceased gentleman took a hearty interest in the work of the Choral Union, Philharmonic Society, and other kindred bodies. Dr. Hall, who was about 39 years of age, was unmarried.—Daily Free Press.

David Halley, British Columbia.

Deceased, who was a son of Mr. D. R. Halley, Inland Revenue, Aberdeen, left for America some six or seven years ago going first to Alberta, in the Canadian North-West, and subsequently paying a short visit to an elder brother in California. After thus looking about him for some time, Mr. Halley made up his mind to settle in British Columbia, and for about a couple of years he had been resident at Enderby, near Lake Mable, in that colony. Mr. Halley was a tall and handsome young man, with a singularly fine disposition. He had evidently endeared himself to the colonists at Enderby, as he did to those who knew him as a youth before he left this country.—Daity Free Press. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 145

George Hamilton of Skene.

The deceased gentleman was the son of Mr. John George Hamilton, a Glasgow merchant, who long lived in retirement at the beautifully-situated residence at Hafton, near Dunoon. He was born in 1828, and has therefore passed away at the com- paratively early age of sixty-two years. After receiving his education at an academy in Edinburgh, where he had for schoolfellows Sir M. E. Grant Duff and Colonel Gordon-Cumming of Auchintoul House, he entered upon a commercial career, as his forefathers for some generations had done before him. At the outset he proceeded to Mexico, and there made himself acquainted with the details of foreign trade. After a short residence in that country he returned to Scotland, and became a partner in the firm of Messrs. W. & A. Graham, who carried on a large business as East India merchants. He early went out to Bombay to manage the firm’s large establishment there, and he was enabled, by his energy, ability, and enterprise, to carry on operations in India with considerable success during the several years he remained there. On again returning to this country, about the year 1865, he. opened and carried on a successful branch establish- ment at Liverpool for five or six years, when he finally retired from business. While resident in Bombay Mr. Hamilton married a daughter of the late General Shaw, who for some years rented Netherdale and Glassaugh, in Banffshire, and latterly resided in Westfield Terrace, Aberdeen. It was principally in consequence of General Shaw’s connection with the district that Mr. Hamilton came north in 1872 to take up his permanent residence in his retirement. In that year he became tenant of Skene House and Home Farm, and eight years later, in 1880, he purchased the estate of Skene from the Earl (now Duke) of Fife'. As a county 146 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 gentleman- the deceased took a good deal of interest in local affairs. He was a Deputy-Lieutenant of the County and a Justice of the Peace, and in the latter capacity interested himself in the business that came before the Licensing Courts. He paid much attention to his duties as a Commissioner of Supply, and, when the management of the affairs of the county was transferred to the County Council last year, he was returned without opposition to represent the Skene and Echt district, and all along took an active part in the work of the Council. For some time he held office as a member of the School Board of Skene, and he was a director of the Aberdeen Reformatories and Industrial Schools, and a member of the New Spalding Club. He was an ardent supporter, of the Church of Scotland, and in politics he was a staunch Liberal Unionist. Leading the life of a country gentleman, Mr. Hamilton naturally took a considerable interest in agricultural affairs. He formed a valuable herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle, and was a very successful breeder and exhibitor of stock. He was a member of the Royal Northern Society and the Mar Agricultural Association, and otherwise supported the agricultural interest by contributing to the experiments carried out by Mr. Thomas Jamieson. Mr. Hamilton is survived by his wife, a son, and five daughters. The son, John, who came of age last year, is a lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion of the 42nd Highlanders (Black Watch). It may be mentioned that one of the deceased’s brothers is the Rev. Dr. Hamilton, of Hamilton. His eldest brother was long colonel of the 92nd Highlanders ; a son of this brother greatly distinguished himself at Majuba Hill, and is at present Aide-de-Camp to Sir Frederick Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief in India. Of singularly genial and amiable qualities, Mr. Hamilton was a much respected county gentleman.—Daily Free Press. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 147

John Hector, Cement Merchant. Mr. Hector, who had reached the age of 79 years, was a native of Woodside, and among his school companions was the late Mr. G. W. Clark, shipowner and shipbuilder, Glasgow. Mr. Hector was long engaged in business about the town, and took a very keen and intelligent interest both in local and general po’itics, although he never filled any public office. He was very widely known among builders and others, and was universally esteemed and respected for his cheerful, unselfish, and genial disposition; indeed, his brightness and interest in all that was going on about him continued with him in quite an exceptional degree to the very last. Mr. Hector had been a widower for several years, and his family consists of two sons—Mr. Thomas Hector, clerk to the Aberdeen School Board ; and Rev. John Hector, principal of the Free Church Institution, Calcutta—and one daughter.—Daily Free Press.

James Inglis, late Baker. The deceased, who was in his eighty-third year, was a native of Mostodlock, near Fochabers, where his father was a farmer. Coming to Aberdeen early in life, he learned his trade as a baker with Mr. Mortimer, Shiprow. After serving his apprentice- ship, Mr. Inglis started on his own account in the Gallowgate. He subsequently removed to Waverley Place, when that locality was less densely populated than it now is, and, after the lapse of about fourteen years, his health somewhat failing,- he retired from business just thirty-one years ago. From that time he resided at Woodend Cottage, Hazelhead, and latterly at 291 Great Western Road. He was one of the oldest members of the Bakers’ Incorporation, and took an active part in the movement which 148 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

resulted in the formation of the Trades’ School, which was for so many years conducted by his friend Mr. Allan. The deceased was an ardent Free Churchman, and took a lively interest in the Disruption movement, being associated with the late Rev. Dr. Spence. For many years he was an elder in St. Clement’s Free Church ; but latterly on account of diminished strength he was compelled, to his great regret, to sever his connection with that congregation and he connected himself with the Queen’s Cross Free Church. Mr. Inglis interested himself in many philanthropic projects, and was highly respected by a wide circle of friends. He married Miss Smith, of Ferrar, near Aboyne. By her and a son, Mr. James C. Inglis, and a daughter he is survived. One daughter of the deceased was married to Rev. George Rose.—Daily Free Press.

George Johnston, late of H.M. Customs. •

Mr. Johnston had been employed for a period of nearly forty years in the Customs, for the first few years as out-door officer, and subsequently as examining officer. The latter post he held until his retirement about six years ago with a pension. Since that time he has been employed as collector to Mr. James Crombie, Regent Quay, whose entire confidence he possessed. He was a member and office-bearer of the Free South Church for many years. The deceased, who was 72 years of age, was a native of Banchory, where his father, who died a few years ago, was tenant of Mill of Hirn. He was predeceased by his wife some years ago, and is survived by two sons. —Daily Free Press. 1891J IN MEMORIAM. 149

Colonel Jopp.

William Jopp was descended from an old Aberdeenshire family, and was a son of Andrew Jopp, advocate in Aberdeen, who died in 1829, his mother being Mar- garet Abercromby. On both sides he claimed connec- tion with former Provosts of the city: on his father’s side, from James Jopp of Cotton, and on his mother’s side from Provost Abercromby, after whom Aber- cromby’s Jetty is named. He had eight brothers and one sister, all of whom are dead with the exception of Mr. Keith Jopp, and Mr- Charles Jopp, C.E., Edinburgh. In early life he entered the wine business with the late Mr. Allardyce, and for a number of years the firm was known as Allardyce & Jopp. Mr. Allardyce died in 1858, and Mr. Keith Jopp, who was originally a doctor in the Indian army, joined the deceased in the business, which has since been carried on under the name of William and Keith Jopp. For the long period of about thirty years the deceased was an enthusiastic member of the volunteer force, and for upwards of twenty of those years he popularly filled the position of commanding officer of the 1st Volunteer Battalion Gordon L ISO IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Highlanders. The proposal to form a corps in Aberdeen found a warm supporter in Mr. Jopp. On 14th June, 1859, he attended the first meeting held in connection with the matter, and was one of the eighty persons who signified their willingness to enroll themselves; and at a subsequent meeting on 19th October of the same year, by which time the number of those willing to join had swollen to 120, he was elected Captain of No. 1 Company; his brother officers being Mr. George Cadenhead (now Procurator-Fiscal of the county), who was lieutenant, and the late Mr. Patrick Cooper, advocate, who was ensign. His formal commission was obtained on 19th November, 1859; and in the following year he went through the regular course of musketry instruc- tion at Hythe, and obtained a certificate as a marksman. On 7th August, i860, there took place the famous Volunteer Review before the Queen in Queen’s Park, Edinburgh, and on that occasion Mr. Jopp attended in the capacity of acting junior Major. The year following, Captain Jopp temporarily severed his connection with the city corps on account of change of residence, and enrolled himself as a private in the Inverurie Company. Towards the end of the year he received a lieutenant's commission in that Company, and he delivered during the winter to the members of the corps a series of lectures on the subject of “ Small Arms.” And not improbably this materially contributed to the superior marks- manship of the Company, which was for years known as “The Fighting Tenth.” In 1864 Lieutenant Jopp went through the annual training with the Ross-shire Militia at Fort-George; and in 1865 he returned to the City Rifles as Major, receiving his commission in February of that year. Colonel Erskine of Pittodrie, who commanded the regiment, died in 1870, and Major Jopp was promoted to the vacancy, receiving his commission as Lieutenant- Colonel in December. Colonel Jopp was in command 1891J IN MEMORIAM. 151 of the regiment at twenty inspections, never missing one. In 1871 he passed through the school of instruction at Aldershot, and received the field officer’s certificate ; and in 1881 he was in command of his regiment at the second grand Volunteer Review before the Queen at Edinburgh. The deceased officer was a keen marksman. He took an active interest in the Wapinschaws of the Aberdeen Artillery and Rifle Volunteers’ Association. He attended about fifteen Wimbledon meetings, but, with the exception of that national gathering, his shooting was mainly confined to the Aberdeen, Montrose, and Inverness meetings. Colonel Jopp was an Episcopalian, taking an active interest in the affairs of St. Paul’s Church. In politics he was a Liberal Unionist. He had taken an active part in promoting the candidature of Mr. Webster for the representation of the city in 1880. In 1857 he married Miss Louisa Richards, daughter of an English clergyman, by whom and by one son (Mr. Henry Jopp) he is survived.—Daily Free Press.

JAMES Keith, Aberdeen Granite Works. Mr. Keith was about seventy-five, and had been for nearly fifty years connected with the Constitution Street Granite Works. He was a man of a very pleasant and unassuming disposition, as well as a man of sound judgment and good feeling. A Congregationalist by religious persuasion, he had for long taken an active interest in the welfare of that body in Aberdeen, having been connected with it for 57 years. For the past twenty-seven years he had been attached to, and held office in, Albion Street Church, and prior to the date indicated, he was a member and office-bearer of George Street Church, then under the pastorate of the late Rev. Mr. Thomson, and afterwards under the ministry of 152 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 the late Rev. David Arthur. In all he had held the office of deacon for forty-two years, constituting him the oldest Congregational deacon in Aberdeen, we believe. Mr. Keith leaves a widow with two sons and a daughter.—Daily Free Press.

Colonel William Keith, R.E.

The deceased was a son of the late Dr. William Keith, Aberdeen, and was the eldest of five brothers who chose the army as a profession. Educated at the Grammar School, at which he distinguished himself, he afterwards graduated at Marischal College, where he subsequently studied medicine. His tastes, however, lay in the direction of soldier- ing, and he entered the army at the same time as his companion, the late Colonel Frank Duncan, C.B.— the one joining the Royal Engineers and the other the Royal Artillery. Like his comrade, Colonel Keith was fired with military ardour, and his promotion was rapid. In 1856 he was made a lieutenant, and during the following year he took part in the Indian campaign, being present at the capture of Lucknow, for his services in which he received a medal with clasp. He also took part in the struggles at Cawnpore. In 1865 he was promoted to the rank of captain, and eight years later—in 1873—being appointed major, he acted as brigade-major at Chatham. His next appointment was to the rank of brevet lieutenant-colonel, which was given him in 1884. A year later he was made lieutenant-colonel, and was in command of the Royal Engineers at Gibraltar. In 1885 he retired with the rank of colonel, and spent his remaining years mostly in England. Colonel Keith was a brave soldier and a strict disciplinarian, but in social life was unostentatious and retiring. Of a tender and 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 153 generous disposition, he gained many friends, with whom he was a great favourite. He was 63 years of age and unmarried. At his father’s death the colonel came into possession of Easter Muchalls, the management of which he left to Mr. George J. Walker, Golden Square. Of the five brothers only James, who was the third son, and who is a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Artillery, is now alive. The second son, George, who was a major in the Indian service, died some years ago; John, the fourth son, who was a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, died in India from the effects of injuries inflicted by a tiger; and Alexander, who was a doctor in the army, also died some years ago.— A berdeen Journal.

William Keith, Sen., late Slate Merchant.

Mr. Keith, who was a native of Old Deer—in a sense the home of the Keiths—came to Aberdeen in 1826. During the days of the old Police Com- missioners he held a seat at that Board for some half-dozen years, somewhat over a quarter of a century ago. The Board named was not famed for long speeches, and its character in that respect accorded well with Mr. Keith’s quiet disposition, while his practical knowledge, equal temper, and good sense served to make him a very useful member. A Free Churchman by religious per- suasion, Mr. Keith was a pre-Disruption elder in Holburn Church, and was intimately concerned on the defensive side in the legal proceedings taken on behalf of the Established Church to oust the congregation (a quoad sacra one) from the church building, which was only effected a couple of years or so after the Disruption. He had since continued in connection with Holburn Free Church, the period of his eldership thus extending to a full half-century. 154 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Mr. Keith, who was a man of singularly quiet, kindly, and undemonstrative character, was twice married, and is survived by his second wife. . By his first wife he had a family of ten (five sons and five daughters), of whom the only survivor now is Mr. William Keith, ofthe King Street Granite Works. One son was lost at sea when quite young, and another, who will be well remembered by those of his fellow- townsmen who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, was the late Mr. John Keith, C.E., and who died some three years ago from the effects of cold caught by exposure while engaged in superintending work for the Government in the construction of one of the large convict prisons in England. Mr. John Keith, who had a high character as a draughtsman, was previously employed, under Sir Joseph Bazalgette, in the preparation of plans in connection with the construction of the Thames Embankment, and the main drainage of London.—Daily Free Press.

Dr. John Marshall Lamb.

Mr. Lamb, who was a son of Mr. Alex. Lamb, plumber, Aberdeen, was a graduate of Aberdeen University, taking a high place in his classes. After obtaining his degree, he went south and engaged for some time in teaching, but the work not being altogether congenial to his tastes, he betook himself to the study of medicine, for which he conceived a strong liking. He had a distinguished career at Marischal College, and in 1885 the degrees of M.B. and C.M. were conferred upon him with highest honours, along with another brilliant scholar, Mr. Patrick Whyte Rattray, M.A. He made a specialty of botanical studies, and was assistant to Professor Trail. Almost immediately after graduating, Dr. Lamb was appointed surgeon to the British North 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 155

Borneo Company in North Borneo. Here he resided for a period of about four years, and performed his duties with great satisfaction to the company, and with high distinction. In the course of his stay on the island, he availed himself of many opportun- ities for excursions into the interior, and these excursions served the double purpose of benefit- ing his fellow-men by his knowledge and skill, and of adding extensively to his botanical stores. During his residence he also made a special study of a native malady known as beri-beri, a sort of relapsing fever of a peculiar kind, and his acquaintance with the disease naturally served to enhance his reputation. Under the some- what trying climate of Borneo, his health became enfeebled, and he definitely made up his mind to quit permanently the service of the company. In the summer of last year he went into partnership, and finally acquired a practice in London, where his talents were beginning to be recognised, and where he was laying the foundation for a most successful career. —A berdeen Journal.

A. D. Longmuir, Artist. Deceased, who was a son of the late Rev. Dr. Longmuir of Mariner’s (now Commerce Street) Free 156 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Church, Aberdeen, at an early age entered the office of Mr. James Matthew, with whom he served his apprenticeship as an architect. The bent of his mind, however, lay in the direction of the fine arts, and, giving up his profession, he entered upon the career of an artist. From being a pupil he rose to be a teacher in the Aber- deen Art School, then located in the Mechanics’ Institu- tion. He afterwards went to Banff, where he remained for about a year and a-half as drawing master in St. Leonard’s Seminary. From Banff he went to Dorset, where he was engaged- as a teacher in King’s School. Eventually he held an appointment in Sherborne, and there his death took place. Mr. Longmuir’s best efforts were pictures in water-colour, and in this department he produced not a few works of genuine merit. His favourite studies were maritime subjects; but occasion- ally his tastes led him into other fields, and Aberdeen possesses one of his best efforts in the painting of an interior view of the Council Chamber in the old Town- house, which now hangs on the walls of the present Council Chamber. Mr. Longmuir was not infrequently an exhibitor in the Royal Scottish Academy, and he was a member of the London Society of Etchers. Deceased was a widower, but leaves no family.— Aberdeen Journal. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 157

John Skene Lyell, London.

Mr. Lyell was born in Aberdeen 77 years ago, and after receiving a good education, he was apprenticed to George Lyall, a silk mercer who carried on an extensive business in the early years of the century. More than 50 years ago Mr. Lyell proceeded to London, where he engaged in trade, and became a partner in the important firm of Cornel, Lyell, & Hardy, silk mercers, St. Paul’s Churchyard. During his long connection with the firm, Mr. Lyell took a very active part in its manage- ment, and was widely known as a shrewd man of business, and remarkably attentive to every detail of the work which promised to be of benefit to the respective partners. His consideration for the employees of the firm was also well known, and there were few who had any business transactions with him who. failed to admire his commercial tact and thorough candour and honesty. Mr. Lyell was unmarried, and died at his residence, Millfield Cottage, Highgate Rise. He was attended in his last hours by his nephew, the Rev. George Grub, Episcopal Church, Ayr, son of Professor Grub, Aberdeen, who was brother-in-law to the deceased.— A berdeen Journal.

Thomas M. M‘Combie, Cape Town, South Africa.

Mr. M'Combie was the youngest and last surviving son of the late Rev. Dr. M'Combie of Tillyfour, minister of Lumphanan, and, consequently, a nephew of Mr. William M‘Combie, the famous tenant of Tillyfour and breeder of polled cattle, and ultimately M.P. for West Aberdeenshire. For reasons connected mainly with the interests of his health, the deceased was sent out at an early age to South Africa. Thrown pretty much on his own 158 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 resources, Mr. M'Combie spent a few years in a very varied and adventurous manner. He accompanied some prospectors in a search for gold in the Transvaal, and he gained health and experience if he did not gather much gold ; and afterwards he contributed interesting accounts of his adventures to our columns over the signature of “ Wildebeeste.” For some time he was a trooper in the Frontier Light Horse that Sir Redvers Fuller raised after one of the Kafir Wars; and, in one way or another, he had travelled over a considerable portion of South Africa. He returned home, and spent some years in this country, being for a time attached to the literary staff of the “ Free Press.” Going out again to South Africa—about a dozen years ago—he settled in Cape Town, and became proprietor of “The Lantern” newspaper—a journal modelled on the style of the “ World,” and other “ society ” papers, to which he had formerly been an occasional contributor. He devoted all his energies to “ The Lantern,” which he edited as well as published, and to which he himself largely contributed, running through it at one time a novel of his own, fraught with Aberdeenshire reminiscences. Journalism at the Cape—at least “ society ” journalism—is some- what rough work, and Mr. M'Combie had a number of experiences denied the journalist at home; fined on one occasion for a libel (a libel on a Minister, we rather think), he preferred the alternative of going to- prison, one result of which was that he acquired material for a work on prison life in Cape Town, the publication of which created a sensation. He ultimately succeeded, however, in making “ The Lantern ” a very presentable paper, a noticeable feature of the publication coming to be its annual Christmas number; and we believe that latterly Mr. M'Combie had succeeded in conquering the reverses, of fortune attendant on the earlier stages of his newspaper enterprise.—Daily Free Press. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 1 59

John M‘Kinnon, Ironfounder.

Deceased had many friends, both in this country and in Australia, where he at one time resided. He belonged to an old and much-respected family in the city, and lived quietly and unobtrusively. Some years ago he retired—in favour of his two sons Messrs. Chalmers and Frederick— from the firm of Messrs. William M'Kinnon- & Co., Spring - Garden Foundry, of which he had been for many years a partner, and which was established by deceased’s father. Mr. M‘Kinnon took no active part in public work, but was a warm and esteemed supporter of St. Andrew’s Church, of which he was one of the school managers, and previous to joining this church he was a church- warden in St. Mary’s, Carden Place. Mrs. M‘Kinnon died in 1880. Mr. M'Kinnon was 68 years of age.—■ Daily Free Press.

David Macdonald & Sons —hide and leather m erchants and herring factors— the Dean having retired about a dozen years ago. The only other partner in the business is Mr. Alexander S. Mac- donald, a younger brother of the deceased. Mr. David A. Mac- donald served as a Town Councillor for one year. He came forward at the “ general election ” in 1883 as one of the candidates for the newly-formed St. Machar Ward, and was returned third on the poll along with Dr. Wight and Mr. William Collie, the three defeating Mr. James Hunter, Mr. Robert Beveridge, jun., and Mr. John Black; Mr. Macdonald, however, had only five votes more than Mr. Hunter. Having been the lowest on the poll of the three members returned, he had to vacate his seat in 1884, but he did not solicit re-election—mainly on business considerations if we remember rightly. Mr. Macdonald did not figure greatly in Council affairs—he seldom made a speech. He was, in fact, a gentleman of a rather quiet and retiring disposition, but, though comparatively little known in public, he was greatly esteemed in a large 1891] IN MEMORIAM. l6l circle of personal friends. He was married to Miss Williams a few years ago, and is survived by her and a young family.—Daily Free Press.

Forbes Michie, Toronto. The “ Canadian Grocer ” records the death of Forbes Michie, of the firm of Fulton, Michie & Co., grocers and liquor dealers, King Street, Toronto. Captain Michie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, 35 years ago, and came out to Canada and settled at Fergus when about 20 years of age. On the death of his uncle, James Michie, seven years ago, he came to Toronto,and with his brother went into the business in which he was engaged at the time of his death. He was a member of the Board of Trade, the St. Andrew’s Society, the National Club, and the Argo- naut Rowing Club. He was a popular officer in the Royal Grenadiers, and served in that battalion through the Northwest rebellion. The vicissitudes of that campaign impaired Mr. Michie’s constitution, and it is believed his death has been hastened many years as a result. Deceased was a very popular man amongst his employees. The general public knew him as a wholesouled gentleman, who never let a deserving case of charity leave him empty handed. In conjunction with his brother, George S. Michie, he endowed Victoria University to the amount of 500 AoVi-a.x?,.—Aberdeen Journal.

Robert Milne, C.E. A native of Aberdeen, and son of the late Mr. John Duguid Milne, advocate, of this city, and brother of the late Mr. John Duguid Milne of Melgum, the deceased received his early education at the Grammar 162 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

School, and subsequently proceeded to the University, where he displayed a pronounced taste for mechanics and engineering, and resolved to adopt the profession tjf a civil engineer. On completing his studies, Mr. Milne went to Edinburgh and received his preliminary training in the profession which he was to follow. Subsequently he proceeded to Glasgow, and on returning to Aberdeen, set up in business for himself. To administrative abilities he combined rare business qualities which latterly stood him in good stead when he was called upon to become the first general manager and secretary of the Great North of Scotland Railway, when it was formed. He was thus able to give valuable assistance in connection with the surveying of the main line from Aberdeen, and various extensions, and tapping lines, and closely identified himself with the general policy of the Company. During his period of office, Mr. Milne was instrumental in constructing the Buchan and branch of the Railway to Peterhead, with its branch from Maud to Fraserburgh; the Alford Valley line, the Oldmeldrum section, the Macduff and Turriff line, and the Strathspey branch, along the romantic valley of the Spey, from Craigellachie to Boat of Garten. The interests of the large Company, whose lines were stretching out in various directions, were safe in Mr. Milne’s hands while he held the power, but the cares of office and the worry of the multifarious duties which fell to the lot of the manager began to tell upon his strength. For some time after the amalgamation with the Deeside Railway Company in 1867, Mr. Milne was relieved of some of the responsibilities of his office, the late Mr. Wm. B. Ferguson, C.E., who had been secretary of the Deeside Company, taking up the same position in the Great North offices. Mr. Milne continued to hold the office of manager until 1880, when he resigned, and was succeeded by the present manager and secretary, Mr. William Moffatt. In his capacity as 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 163 manager he earned the respect of his colleagues in office, and by his friends he was greatly beloved for his genial and gentlemanly nature. Mr. Milne, while unable from the nature of his business to figure largely in public life, took a keen interest in social and religious matters, and was Conservative in his politics. An elder in the West Parish Church for some years, Mr. Milne latterly attached himself to the Scottish Episcopal Church, and worshipped at St. Andrew’s Church. Mr. Milne married a daughter of Mr. John Garland, Cairn ton, by whom he had issue four sons and two daughters. His wife predeceased him about 21 years ago. The two eldest sons, John Duguid Milne and Robert Milne, are tea planters in India ; the third son, Alexander Gumming Milne, follows the medical profession in New Zealand ; and the youngest son, Albert Mitchell Milne, is a paper manufacturer at Slateford, Edinburgh.—Northern Daily News.

Dr. Maitland Moir.

Forbes Fraser Maitland Moir was the second son of the late respected Mr. James Moir, Blinkbonny, Keith, whose death, at the age of 77, occurred only last year. He was born in the year 1847 in the parish of Kildrummy, but in his childhood his father removed his residence to Keith, and it was there that the deceased spent the days of his boyhood and youth. At first it was intended that he should enter upon the teaching profession, and accordingly he served an apprenticeship of five years as a pupil teacher in the Parochial School of Keith, under Mr. James Smith, one of the most successful teachers in the north. In the same school, and at the same time, his brother, Dr. James Moir, now Rector of the Aberdeen Grammar School, under- went his early educational training. Dr. Moir IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Dr. MAITLAND MOIR. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 165

subsequently proceeded to Aberdeen, and was engaged in teaching in some of the higher schools in the city; but he ultimately resolved to abandon teaching, and to.qualify for the medical profession. For that purpose he, in 1869, entered as a student at Marischal College, where he had a brilliant career. Besides minor prizes, he gained during his undergraduate course the premier awards for physiology, natural history, botany, practical chemistry, and senior anatomy; and besides these, in session 1870-71, he carried off the University prize for surgery; and in 1871-72 he was the first prizeman in the Senior Class of Surgery. He was Assistant Professor of Botany, and afterwards for a session class-assistant to the Professor of Surgery. At the close of his curriculum, in April, 1873, he graduated with highest academical honours both in medicine and surgery. On leaving College, he held for one year the post of House Surgeon at the Royal Infirmary, and in the session, 1873-74, and the summer session of 1874, the important appointment of Assistant Professor or Demonstrator in Anatomy in his Alma Mater. Dr. Moir then settled down to the business of his profession, and acquired an exceedingly large practice, being specially popular as a family doctor among the working classes of the community ; and holding appointments as medical officer for a large number of friendly societies. He was a member of the Medico-Chirurgical Society, before which he read several valuable papers, principally on surgical subjects. In 1882, he was a candidate for the Chair of Surgery in Aberdeen University. Dr. Moir first entered upon municipal life in 1886, when he was returned for St. Nicholas Ward, and he has ever since sat at the Council Board. As convener of the Public Health Committee for a time, he rendered valuable services to the city in connection with that department of municipal work. Two years ago M 166 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 he proposed a motion in favour of the Riding of the Marches, which the Council adopted, and he was the leading spirit in carrying out the arrangements of what was generally admitted to be a most successful demonstration. Dr. Moir was a member of the Library Committee and a Governor of Gordon’s College, in the affairs of which he took much interest. He also held office as a member of the School Board for two triennial periods, retiring at the last election. He was a Gladstonian Liberal in politics, and often spoke at meetings of the Liberal Association. In connection with the Franchise demonstration of 1884, Dr. Moir came a good deal into public prominence. He was an enthusiastic promoter of the demonstration, and discharged the onerous duties of chief marshal of the procession. He was chief of the Aberdeen Highland Society, and founded the Aberdeen Archery Club. Some years ago he acquired the beautiful residential property of Tarnash, near Keith. Dr. Moir, as already stated, enjoyed a very large professional practice, and in an especial way had gained the favour and confidence of his patients. As a medical man his strength lay in his splendid power of diagnoses and his singular skill as a surgeon. Latterly he had given up many of the appointments which he held as medical officer to friendly societies and other kindred bodies, and was gradually building up an extensive family and consulting practice. In private life Dr. Moir was. the most genial and kindly of men. His goodness of heart was not, however, confined to the social circle. It manifested itself in his public relations ; but oftener and less conspicuously in the professional service which he ungrudgingly and gratuitously rendered to those of scanty means. Dr. Moir had a penchant for antiquarian pursuits. He had collected a little library of local literature, and possessed some valuable Burns’ manuscripts. He was an 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 167 ex-president of the Aberdeen Burns Club. An enthusiastic volunteer he was connected with the Aberdeen Artillery, and was, at the date of resignation, senior captain and acting major of the corps. Dr. Moir married Miss Cruickshank, an Aberdeen lady, by whom and by one son he is survived. He is also survived by six brothers and one sister. His elder brother being Dr. James Moir, rector of the Aberdeen Grammar School.—Daily Free Press.

Donald Munro, Shipmaster.

Captain Munro belonged to Forres, though he had been long resident in Aberdeen. He had extensive experience with large steamers in the Atlantic trade, and was long master of the “ Earnholm,” trading between Leith, Aberdeen, and the north, where he was well known and highly esteemed. About eight years ago he accepted command of the s.s. “ Glen Gelder,” goo tons, of the Glen Line, and was ultimately promoted to the s.s. “Glen Tanar,” a vessel of 2200 tons burden. He was an experienced navigator, and made himself popular with all who met him. He was about 50 years of age, and leaves a widow and seven of a family, who reside -in Argyll Place, Aberdeen.— Aberdeen Journal.

William Murray, late of Tipperty.

Mr. Murray was an Aberdeenshire man having been born in Woodside in 1818, so that he had reached his 73rd year. Beginning in a comparatively small way in various branches of work more or less connected with the cattle trade, he finally, in 1840, found greater scope for his energies in the London 168 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 carcase butcher trade, and during the next 21 years he developed a growingly successful business with numerous ramifications. Passionately fond of agricultural pursuits, he took, in 1861, a nineteen years’ lease of the farm of Tipperty, near Ellon. He entered possession at a time when rents were very high, and his occupancy of the place proved a costly one to him, in consequence of the many improve- ments he effected upon the holding. He kept a numerous herd of cattle upon the place. Having spent so much upon it, he naturally wished an extension of the lease for a period of some half-dozen years, but the negotiations with this view were not successful. During the period of his occupancy of the farm the facilities of railway communication in Aberdeenshire and Banffshire enabled him to develop the carcase butcher trade all over these counties. He built what is now the auction mart at Fife-Keith, and had places of business also at Inverurie, Gartly, Huntly, , Cullen, and Buckie, all of which towns greatly benefited by the stimulus that he gave to trade. Even all this increasing business with its demands upon time and physical energy, which would have tried most men, did not exhaust Mr. Murray’s powers of work and organisation. During the latter period of his tenancy of Tipperty, he was brought into contact with the late Mr. G. W. Clark— also a Woodside man—a director of the State Line of American vessels, who urged his friend to take up the agency of a proposed meat company which it was intended should trade between New York, Glasgow, and Liverpool. This project, as it ultimately turned out, proved a somewhat unfortunate speculation, but it was eventually the means of bringing Mr. Murray into communication with the late Mr. George H. Hammond, of Detroit and Chicago, a gentleman well known as the pioneer of the dead meat trade in America, and who was the first to ship meat direct 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 169 from Chicago to Liverpool. Mr. Murray first became Mr. Hammond’s representative in this country, and latterly a personal friend and partner. His con- nection with this business led Mr. Murray to visit the American continent, and he made two extensive excursions over a vast extent of territory. On the first occasion he accompanied Mr. Hammond and a friend through California. On a second occasion, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Hammond, he made an excursion through the great ranche country, penetrating as far as Manitoba, and gaining a great amount of information which served him subsequently in good stead. On the death of Mr. Hammond the responsibility of the reorganisation of the company was thrown upon Mr. Murray, and his native sagacity, knowledge of the trade, and lengthened experience enabled him to accomplish the work with gratifying success; and, on the occasion of his departure from Boston on his return to his own country, he was entertained at a banquet by the leading shareholders, and was at the same time presented with an illuminated address expressing their high sense of the great ability and energy he had shown in the reconstruction of their undertaking. From his business as hide and tallow merchant in Aberdeen he retired about a year agor but for several years previously he had ceased to take any active participation in it, and the management was therefore practically in the hands of his son James. Of boundless energy of character, Mr. Murray in the course of his career accomplished an amount of labour and endured fatigues in travelling that none but a man of exceptional physical strength could have stood. But with his energy he united business qualifications of a very high order. For knowledge of the cattle trade in all its branches he had few equals, and his foresight, capacity, and grasp of his work could scarcely be surpassed. 170 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

In politics Mr. Murray might be described as an advanced Liberal, and although he did not figure on political platforms he had strong convictions, and could express them in vigorous and forcible language in private. Mr. Murray is survived by his widow and by two sons and two daughters. His eldest son William took a high position in the Indian Civil Service, but he died after four years’ residence in India. Of his surviving sons, Surgeon-Major John Murray, has retired from the army medical service, and James carries on the extensive hide and tallow business in Aberdeen and elsewhere. His eldest daughter is married to the Rev. George Gumming, Free Church, Grangemouth ; and his youngest daughter is married to the Rev. Dr. Bremner, Free High Church, Partick. —A berdeen Journal.

George Philip, Buxburn.

Mr. Philip, who had attained the very ripe age of 93, was one of the well-known men of the locality, and one for whom all entertained a feeling of the highest esteem. He was, moreover, a man who had seen a considerable deal of life, and the reminiscences of his earlier days formed a never- failing source of interest to his many friends. He was born at the close of the last century at the Bridge of Don. He was, of course, but a rising boy when the battle of “ Trafalgar’s Bay ” took place, but he retained to the last a vivid recollection of the receipt of the news in Aberdeen of the death of Nelson. When quite a young man he adopted a seafaring life, serving for some years on board H.M.S. “Rattlesnake.” One of the earliest of his duties as a seaman was to assist in carrying grain and ammunition for the army at Waterloo. For a number of years Mr. Philip has lived quietly at 1891] IN MEMORIAM. I/I

Buxburn in the enjoyment of a comfortable com- petence. He was of a poetical turn of mind, and not a few of his effusions found their way, in the shape of epitaphs, on to the tombstones of his relatives. He was to the end a voracious reader, and one of his special delights was to carefully file copies of all the local papers. For many years he was a strict teetotaller. Mr. Philip was never married, but resided with a maiden sister, by whom he is survived.—Aberdeen Journal.

Dr. Gordon Pirrie, London. Dr. James Miller Gordon Pirrie was the youngest son of the late Dr. Pirrie, professor of surgery in Aberdeen University. The deceased gentleman was a graduate of Aberdeen University, and began practice in Aberdeen with his late father about fourteen years ago. A few years after the death of Professor Pirrie, he left Aberdeen for London, his chief reason for doing so being to avoid the some- what trying climate of the north. He began practice in South Kensington, and became well known in the district. Dr. Pirrie confined his energies to the practice of his profession, not caring for public work. By those who knew him intimately he was very highly respected for many excellent qualities. He married an Aberdeen lady, Miss Tytler, by whom, and by one son, he is survived.—Aberdeen Journal.

JOHN Rae, Antiquarian. Mr. Rae may be said to be an Aberdonian, for he hailed originally from the Buxburn district. Bred to the grocery trade, Mr. Rae started business many years ago in the east end of the town, and gradually 172 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

developed those tastes for antiquarian pursuits which distinguished him even in his boyhood days. As a collector of anti- ques Mr. Rae’s fame rapidly spread over Aberdeen- shire and the north of Scotland, and from all quarters antiquarian “finds” poured out upon him. In all depart- ments of Scottish archaeology his collection was not only the best known in private hands, but was superior in not a few respects to that of the Anti- quarian Museum in Edinburgh. And his great store of antiquarian treasures Mr. Rae was not slow to place at the disposal of his fellow-citizens, either for private or public use. To bazaars and kindred objects he frequently furnished most interesting exhibits, and to the larger exhibitions which from time to time have been held in the Art Gallery Buildings, Mr. Rae’s contributions have been a decided feature. To private callers too, Mr. Rae was exceedingly courteous and obliging in exhibiting his curiosities, and not a few Scottish antiquarians have spoken in terms of the highest praise of the singular merit of the deceased gentleman’s collection. Instinctively, Mr. Rae knew antiques, and even when a com- paratively poor man, did not scruple to spend money liberally in securing them. Of stone implements i89i] IN MEMORIAM. 173 his specimens are unequalled in the country ; and of fairy brooches, flints, arrow heads, coins, and bronzes, he had brought together a unique and valuable collection. The accommodation at Mr. Rae’s disposal did not permit of the proper arrangement or cataloguing of his archaeological possessions, but that their high value was known beyond Aberdeen is borne out by the fact that more than once overtures had been made to him for the purchase of portions by the authorities of the Antiquarian Museum in Edinburgh. Mr. Rae, who was a little over 40 years of age, is survived by a widow and seven children.—Daily Free Press.

William Rattray, late Tobacco Manufactmer. Mr. Rattray, who was well known in business circles in the city and through- out the north of Scotland, served his apprenticeship with the late Mr. Patrick Whyte, tobacco manufac- turer,Queen Street, and afterwards, as traveller for the firm, he was the means of extending the business, which became one of the best established of its kind in the north At Mr. Whyte’s death, which took place in 1863, Mr. Rattray succeeded to the business, and carried it on as sole proprietor 174 IN MEMORIAM.

Of a retiring disposition, the deceased did not take an active interest in public affairs, although he followed with intelligent interest discussions on local and national events. In his earlier days he acted as an office-bearer in St. Paul Street and Charlotte Street U.P. Churches, but latterly he became a member of Carden Place U.P. Church, in the affairs of which he took a deep interest. Deceased was a quiet, homely man, and in social life endeared himself by his genial disposition. He. is survived by his widow and a family of live sons and a daughter. Mr. William and Mr. John, as already stated, carry on the business of tobacco spinners. Another son is Mr. David Rattray, stationer; Dr. Rattray, a fourth son, carries on the practice of his profession at Upper Holloway, London; and Mr. Melvin Rattray, clerk to Messrs. G. Milne & Co.—Aberdeen Journal.

William Reid, Draper.

The deceased gentleman spent the greatest portion of his life at Woodside, where he was a highly valued elder of the Free Church there. He took an active interest in Sabbath School and Bible Class work, and only recently resigned charge of the Women’s Bible Class. As one of the Commissioners of Police of Woodside for six years, he devoted himself very faithfully to the public interest, and his work in the School Board of Oldmachar for a similar period, specially on the Finance Committee of that Board, showed the skill and tact which distinguished him as a man of business. His removal at the early age of 46 will be deeply felt in Woodside, where he was much esteemed. He leaves a widow and five children.—Northern Daily News. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 175

Peter Riddel, Harbour Treasurer.

Mr. Riddel was an Aberdonian born and bred. He entered the Aberdeen Harbour Office in 1833, at the early' age of fourteen, his father at that time occu- pying the position now rendered vacant Before he had served his five years’ apprenticeship, he was entrusted with duties which usually went into older hands. In the year 1842 his father resigned the office of Harbour Trea- surer, and was succeeded by Mr. Reid, the then principal clerk. Mr. Reid’s place had to be filled, and young Riddel was offered the appointment, which he accepted and held till the year 1879, when Mr. Reid retired. Mr. Riddel was then promoted to the office of Harbour Treasurer, and anyone who knows anything of harbour affairs will admit that worthily did he fill that office. The deceased gentleman was no mean time server, but threw his whole heart and talents into everything connected with the arduous position. For the long period of fifty-nine years Mr. Riddel has therefore been connected with the Harbour Office in pne position or another. During that period the trade at the harbour has changed to a very considerable extent. For one thing, the deepening of the harbour entrance brought a fleet of much larger vessels to 176 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Aberdeen, and the many other alterations, including those on the docks, had the result of turning Aberdeen from being a port of only fair consequence in the shipping trade into one of the most important ports in the country. As a result of these improve- ments, trade prospered, and the work in the Harbour Office increased year by year. In July, 1883, deceased attained his jubilee as a servant of the Board, and in October following Mr. Esslemont, M.P., who was then Lord Provost of the city, took occasion to refer to the interesting fact that the chief official of the Board had completed fifty years’ service in the employment of the Commission. On that occasion Mr. Esslemont spoke of Mr. Riddel as one who had discharged his duties with the greatest acceptance to the Board and with conspicuous ability ; and on his proposal a small committee was appointed with the view of arranging for the presentation to Mr. Riddel of what the Lord Provost described as some small article which he might look upon and see in his future days in his home as something that would remind him and his friends of the fifty years’service he had given. The motion was at once carried, and on the 1st November following Mr. Riddel was, by Mr. James Paterson, who was then Shoremaster, presented with a marble clock commemorative of the attainment of his jubilee. Mr. Riddel took an interest in not a few things in public life. He was an ardent supporter of the Choral Union, and was in his younger days one of its most valued members. He was also for a consider- able time connected with the Northern Co-operative Company, being, in fact, one of its originators when it was started in 1861. After being treasurer of the Northern Co-operative Company for a year or two, Mr. Riddel was next appointed its chairman, and he held this office from 1867 to 1876.

Mr. Riddel found time to interest himself in all the local affairs, and kept a diary of events which he considered worthy of note. The deceased gentleman also kept a number of biographical notices, with portraits, of prominent public men. Mr. Riddel was a staunch Free Churchman, and was one of the leading elders in Free St. Clement’s Church. He leaves a widow and five daughters.—Northern Daily News.

John Roger, late of Pratt & Keith.

Mr. Roger began his career in the Union Bank, or what was at the time known as the Aberdeen Bank, and after serving for some years he entered the firm of Pratt & Keith, succeeding the late Mr. Pratt as a partner. De- ceased, who was a cousin of Mr. Keith, acted as counting- house partner, and in that capacity he continued until his retirement about 18 years ago. It is worthy of note as a peculiar coinci- dence that Mr.John Roger died on the same day of the same month as his son George, who predeceased him a few years ago. Although i78 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 practically unknown to the younger generation, Mr. Roger had many friends in the city, by whom he was held in the highest esteem on account of the amiability of his character. He took a keen interest in the daily prayer meetings held in the hall of the Young Men’s Christian Institute, and for the long period of thirty years he was an elder in the South Parish Church, in which connection he actively bestirred himself in promoting the welfare of the congregation. Previous to becoming connected with the South Church, Mr. Roger was for ipany years an elder in the Original Secession Church, Skene Terrace. From 1859 to 1870 deceased was treasurer to the Aberdeen and North of Scotland Protection Society (now the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce), and in 1871-72 he was vice-president of that body. Mr. Roger married a daughter of the late Rev. George Stevenson, D.D., Ayr, but his wife pre- deceased him a good many years ago. He is survived by one son, John, who has been a tea-planter in Ceylon, and who is at present in Aberdeen.—Aberdeen Journal.

• John Rollo, s.s. “ Eavnholm." Mr. Rollo had been in the employment of the Aberdeen, Leith, and Moray Firth Steam Shipping Company almost since its commencement. He was a most efficient and able officer, and had the entire confidence and respect of his employers. He held a master’s certificate, and was therefore always available to fill any place when an emergency occurred. By all with whom he was associated he was loved and esteemed, and his frank open manner in giving information to passengers made him a general favourite with all who travelled on the route. He was widely known both on the east and west coast and also on the Caledonian Canal, and was universally respected.—Aberdeen Journal. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 179

George Rose, Fleslier.

Mr. Rose succeeded his uncle, Deacon Stewart, in the long-established business in the New Market. By his courtesy, enterprise, and as- siduity he increased its reputation, and, both among the other tenants of the market and his many customers, he was extremely popular. A man of high character and considerable intelli- gence, he had for a long period oc- cupied a leading place in the trade. Mr. Rose was one of the promoters of the Hide and Tallow Company,of which he was also chairman, and in other ways strove to promote the interests of his fellow tradesmen. To the direction of the affairs of the Flesher Incorpora- tion, one of the Seven Incorporated Trades of the city, he gave much time and attention. He filled all the offices connected with it, and was deemed worthy of higher rank in the counsels of the Convener Court. Elected Master of Hospital in 1885, he held that position till 1886, when he was chosen Convener, an honour which in his case was all the more marked in that he was the first of his own craft who had occupied it for a hundred years. By virtue of his Convenership, Mr. Rose was one of the original members of the l8o IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Aberdeen Educational Trust, and a manager of the Art Gallery, to the business of which, so long as health permitted, he gave faithful attention. Mr. Rose was twice married. By his second wife, a daughter of Mr. Hall, Inland Revenue, he leaves three of a family (two daughters and a son). Mr. Rose, who was in his 54th year, was a deacon of the Free West Church.—Aberdeen Journal.

William Rose of Hazelhead. Born in 1812, Mr. Rose had reached his 78th year. He was a son of the late Mr. Donaldson Rose, Shipowner, and, after receiving his education at the Grammar School, Aberdeen, he joined his father in business; and with the well-known and eminent shipowning firm of Messrs. Donaldson Rose & Company he has been ever since connected. Though few men were more widely and more honourably known in Aberdeen than Mr. Rose, it was not so much on account of the strictly public and municipal work which he did, as for the quiet, unostentatious, but singularly valuable service which he rendered to every good object. Mr. Rose, however, held the office of Dean of Guild from 1855 to 1857. He had also served on the Aberdeen Harbour Board, and was a member of the first Aberdeen School Board. He was a member of, and an elder in, the Free East Church, and for many years the Superintendent of the Sunday School. Mr. Rose was a man of much intelligence, and, but for his quiet and retiring habits, might have occupied a much more prominent position in the public life of Aberdeen than he did. Subsequently to the time of his filling the office of Dean of Guild, his name was repeatedly mentioned as that of a future occupant of the office of Lord Provost, but Mr. Rose’s tastes did not lie that way, and he 1891] IN MEMORIAM. I8l continued to move on in his own quiet circle attending to business up to within a very brief period, though, at the same time, keenly alive to all that was passing around him ; and, as has been stated, a liberal, though very unostentatious, con- tributor to most of the leading charities of the city, and to many private objects besides. He was a sincerely pious man, and in his office of elder was most attentive to all the duties falling to him. As we have said, he was a man of much intelligence, a very ready and fluent speaker, with a remarkable command of appropriate language. In private life he was the most genial and kindly of men, always exhibiting the same placid temper, except when anything mean, dishonourable, or irreverent roused him to speak out, while in his conversation there was now and then revealed an unexpected vein of quiet and playful humour. The life of William Rose, it may be said, has been a wholly beneficent one. A strictly honourable man in all his dealings in business, conscientiously earnest in defence or support of what he believed to be right and true, while generously considerate in regard to every claim that could be made upon him, and full of sympathy toward the less fortunate of his fellow creatures, his departure will be missed and sincerely regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Mr. Rose, who was never married, is survived by three brothers and a sister—Mr. James Rose, Mr. Alex. Rose, Rev. Donaldson Rose, Free East Church, Brechin, and Mrs. Thom.—Daily Free Press.

Mr. Ross began life in Aberdeen in the office of the Lime Company, from which he joined the staff of the “ Aberdeen Journal.” In November, 1888, he N 183 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

got an appointment on the staff of the “ Southport Visitor/’ and his natural abilities and genial character made him a universal favourite. His appointment on the “ Globe ” was a promotion at which his friends were naturally greatly pleased, and the premature close of a life so full of hope will be deeply deplored. Before leaving Southport Mr. Ross was the recipient of a handsome testimonial from his colleagues and friends in that town.—Aberdeen Journal.

Dr. Peter Russell.

The deceased was the youngest surviving son of the late Mr. Alexander Russell, of Aden, Old Deer, and uncle of the present proprietor, Colonel Russell. Dr. Russell, after studying medicine in Aberdeen, completed his curriculum at Edinburgh University, where he graduated; and, at an early age, entered the army as a surgeon, in which capacity he served for a short time. After retiring from the army, he settled in Buchan, and afterwards in Aberdeen. Dr. Russell was a keen angler, and was recognised as one of the most successful in the county. In politics he was a Conservative, but never took part in public affairs. The deceased, who was 79 years of age, was married and had one son and a daughter, who, with his wife, predeceased him. He is survived by his nephew, Colonel Russell, late of the 14th (King’s) Hussars, and now employed in the diplomatic service at Berlin.—Aberdeen Journal.

James Rust, Banker, Banff. The deceased was a son of the late Mr. Alexander Rust, who was for several years in partnership with ex-Provost Jamieson, of Aberdeen. Mr. Rust was 1S91] IN MEMORIAM. 183

trained in the ofBce of the National Bank at Aberdeen, under the late Mr. Chivas, and he was for three years accountant in that bank’s branch at Inveraray. He afterwards entered the service of the Aberdeen Bank, and was accountant in Banff from 1842 to 1845, under the late Mr. James Gall. He was thereafter successively accountant at the head office in Aberdeen and inspector of the bank till 1850, when he was appointed agent at Banff in succession to the late Mr. F. W. G. Sangster, and he has continued agent ever since, the Aberdeen Bank in the interval having been incorporated with the Union Bank. Mr. Rust married Miss Eliza Mary Webster, daughter of the late Mr. Robert Webster, • Burnfield, Rothiemay, who predeceased him in 1871. They had no family, but he is survived by a brother, who is at present at Castlemaine, Australia, and by two sisters, who lived with him. Mr. Rust was a man of kindly, generous, and unostentatious manner, and was very highly respected by the whole community. He held for many years a commission as Honorary Sheriff-Substitute of Banffshire, and he was also on the Commission of the Peace for Banff- shire and for Aberdeenshire. As a Justice of the Peace for Banffshire, he took a deep and lively interest in the licensing question, and was strongly in favour of the reduction of licences. Mr. Rust was a man of rare business capacity, and his services were much looked after. He very often acted as executor and trustee on family estates, and was largely consulted on family matters, and his many acts of kindness and generosity will be cherished by those who were recipients of his bounty. When the Education Act passed Mr. .Rust was elected a member of the first School Board, and held office for fifteen years, only retiring in 1888. In 1856 he was appointed a Councillor of the burgh. A year later he was made Baillie, and held that office for two years. Mr. Rust was also a member and convener 184 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 of the Committee of Management of the United Banffshire Agricultural Society, and gave great attention to matters relating to agriculture. He was also one time a Road Trustee, only ceasing to be so on the coming into force of the County Council, and he was then elected Parochial Board representative on the Banff District Committee of the County Council, and he was an elected member of the Banff Parochial Board for many years. Mr. Rust was an elder in the Free Church, and occasionally attended the meetings of that Assembly in Edinburgh. He also took great interest in the young, and it was with great pleasure to him that for many years he conducted a Sunday morning class for young men. He was also at one time president » of the Banff Young Men’s Christian Association, and was an active and very attentive trustee and manager of the Banff Savings Bank for many years. Mr. Rust also acted as president of the Banff Institution for Science, Literature, and Art, and at the date of its dissolution in 1875 he was one of the acting trustees. Mr. Rust was in his seventy- third year. —Daily Free Press.

Ex-Baillie Sangster.

The deceased gentleman, who was a native of Aberdeen, for many years carried on a large and successful business as a chemist and druggist in Commerce Street, and had rendered much useful service at most of the public boards of the city. He entered the Town Council as one of the represent- atives of the First Ward in 1865—the last year of the Provostship of Sir Alexander Anderson; and in the following year, when Mr. Alexander Nicol was elected to the Provostship, Mr. Sangster— who was a member of the “ party headed by Mr. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. I85

Nicol, and afterwards by Mr. George Jamieson— was elected Junior (then Fourth) Baillie. He was again returned for the First Ward in 1867, being again elected Fourth Baillie. At the election of 1868— the first under the extended suffrage of that year — the “ Party of Progress,” headed by Mr. William Leslie and Mr. James W. Barclay; a party opposed to Provost Nicol—obtained a majority in the Council. After the election, when Mr. Leslie was elected Provost, Mr. Sangster succeeded to the First Baillieship. Baillie Sangster’s term as a First Ward representative expired in 1870, and he did not stand for re-election. He entered the Town Council again, however, in 1876 (during Mr. Jamieson’s first Provostship), being returned for the Third Ward, and was again elected Junior (then Sixth) Baillie. He remained in the Council for the three years, becoming successively Fifth and Second Baillie. He returned again in 1880 as Dean of Guild (Mr. Esslemont was then Provost), and was annually re-elected Dean of Guild for the next four years, Mr. David Stewart (the present Lord Provost) succeeding him in 1885. Mr. Sangster—it goes without saying—must have done a large amount of public work during the thirteen years he was in the Town Council; for many years i86 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 he was convener of the Plans Committee—a post, the duties of which are very exacting. Mr. Sangster was for many years a member of the St. Nicholas Parochial Board. He was an Infirmary manager, and, under the old regime, acted for long on the General Committee of Management, his services being continued during the transition period, and for the first term as a director in the new Board. He rendered considerable service while a manager of the Infirmary as convener of the Convalescent Hospital. He was also for many years chairman of the Acting Committee of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor—a post he resigned just twelve months ago. It is but the simple truth to say that, on every public board on which he held a place, Mr. Sangster gave full, careful, and conscientious attention to the duties that devolved upon him. As a member of committee in particular—and he acted on many of the more important committees—he grudged neither time nor labour in carrying out the work that lay to his hand. Mr. Sangster was for a good many years a member and active office-bearer in St. Nicholas Lane U.P. Church, though latterly he joined the Free West Church, and was elected to the eldership in that congregation. In private life Mr. Sangster was a~ man of gentle and unobtrusive manners, and always willing and ready to actively interest himself in work of a benevolent and useful character. He leaves a widow but no family.— Daily Free Press.

James Sheir, M.A., New Jersey.

Deceased was born at Cullen in 1826. The family removed to Aberdeen in 1845 ! the father, a man of versatile attainments, had all his four sons take honours at Marischal College, two of whom became known to the world of letters. The youngest, 1891] IN MEMORIAM. i87

James, for over 30 years prepared students for entering College in Canada and the United States. “ It was frequently remarked,” says the New York “ Scottish World,” “ that Mr. Shier would trans- form dull boys into clever men. Rigid discipline and inspirational force were habitual methods conscientiously carried out. Idealism ruled his soul and made him impatient of dolts and pretenders. Few men could equal his power of sarcasm when a lofty sense of propriety was violated. Knowledge of human nature seemed an instinct; opinions were formed on the moment, and in many cases startled his friends by their accuracy and singular shrewdness. Love of learning made Mr. Shier a master in the so- called dead languages. The Greek New Testament was always either in his hand or his pocket. The Paulist Fathers and noted writers on moral philosophy were like familiar friends. Classic lore and Bible meditation filled up spare moments of occasional leisure. A devoted husband and father, made the juveniles think of him always as one of themselves. A massive intellect has been withdrawn from this sublunary scene ; a racy conversationalist will be greatly missed by privileged associates. Many public great men in Church and State sought the advice of this notable person. Mr. Shier might have been in a professor’s chair during his public career but for the personal choice of a quieter life of usefulness.”—Daily Free Pres$.

William Shepherd, Shipmaster.

Deceased, who went to sea at an early age, served his apprenticeship in the “ Alexander Hall,” belong- ing to Messrs. Donaldson Rose & Company, and commanded bj' his uncle, Captain Edwards, a well- known Aberdeen ship captain, who afterwards became 188 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

commodore of the local White Star Line. During his servitude, he was engaged in the guano trade in the West Coast of Africa—a trade that was then of considerable importance between that country and the United Kingdom ; and the grounding in seafaring matters which he then received from his relative enabled him to get through the necessary examina- tions of the Board of Trade most creditably, and to make him a seaman of the grandest type, thoroughly efficient in all departments of his work. In 1852, during the first rush of emigrants to Australia during the gold fever, he shipped as chief officer in a little barque called the “ Scottish Maid,” belonging to Messrs. Alex. Nicol & Company, Aberdeen ; and in their service he had remained ever since. Four years later, in 1856, he was appointed master of the “ Assyrian,” and was sent out to the China trade. In 1862 he was transferred to the “ Garrawalt; ” but his health giving way in this trade, he had to relinquish his command. The owners, however, had recognised the abilities of Captain Shepherd, and were very slow to part with him. They accordingly built the “ George Thompson ” (1154 tons register} for him, and with this clipper he increased his reputation by the remarkably smart passages which he made between London and Australia. Over and over again he made the run out in little over 70 days —a great feat at that time ; and on one occasion he arrived in Sydney 68 days after leaving the Downs. Captain Shepherd continued to command the “ George Thompson ” till 1874, when the “ Romanoff” (1225 tons register) was built for him ; and eleven years later he received the appointment as master of the then new ship “Torridon” (1564 tons register), which he sailed till the time of his death. Captain Shepherd was looked upon as a good sample of the hard-headed Aberdeen ship- master. At the time when there was no such facilities for cabling, and when the management of 1891] IN MEMORIAM. l8p vessel and cargo was left entirely in the hands of a master, his special business qualities were brought into prominence, and he discharged these duties in a manner which gained for him the entire confidence and respect of his employers. He took a great interest in the members of his crew, was always ready to assist those who were anxious to advance themselves, and was a general favourite when in port. He treated the seamen with much con- sideration, and these, when they had once been with him, were always anxious to get back again—one man alone having sailed in his ships for 25 years continuously. When in the “ George Thompson ” and the “Romanoff” he had a number of niggers shipped as seamen on board, whom he always put into one watch, and these for many a day were known in this country and all over the colonies as “Shepherd’s Black Watch.” Deceased, who was in his fifty-ninth year, leaves a widow, but no family.— Daily Free Press.

ALEXANDER SlassOR, Aberdeen Gasworks.

Mr. Slassor was a native of Ellon, where his father was a farmer, and for a period in his youth he was engaged in farm service. About forty years ago he came to Aberdeen and entered the employ- ment of the Gas Company, and from the thorough manner in which he made himself acquainted with the work, and the ability which he displayed in the carrying out of the many responsible duties which devolved upon him, he was in a remarkably short time promoted to the position of assistant superintendent. This office he held for eight years under the old regime. When the Corporation took over the Gasworks in 1871, Mr. Slassor’s services were retained, so that altogether for the long period of twenty-eight years he has occupied a post which 190 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 in point of responsibility is only second to that held by the head of the Gas Department. Mr. Slassor was married, but his wife predeceased him some time ago, and of his family of six only one daughter remains. He was seventy years of age. His well- known figure will be missed in the city. Of genial disposition and sterling uprightness of character, he won for himself the confidence of his employers and the respect and esteem of the men under his charge; and his sudden death will be regretted by all who had the privilege of his acquaintance.—• Aberdeen Journal.

Professor Smith-Shand.

James William Fraser Smith-Shand was born in India, where his father—a brother of the late Mr. John Smith, advocate in Aberdeen, and president of the Society of Advocates—was a doctor. His mother was a daughter of Bishop Torry, incumbent of St. Peter’s, Peterhead, and Bishop of St. Andrews and Dunkeld. From her the deceased professor derived his love for the Episcopal Church, in whose internal struggles his grandfather had borne, especially during the last years of his life, a conspicuous and now historical part. James Smith came to this country from India when he was about three or four years old, and was placed under the care of his father’s sister. In due course he was sent to Trinity College, Glenalmond, where he was under the care of Dr. Wordsworth, now Bishop of St. Andrews. The bent of his mind being entirely literary, he gained high distinction in Greek scholar- ship ; and, even to the end of his days, he was in the habit of reciting from memory some of the most striking choruses in the Greek drama. Before leaving he became Prefect of Trinity College. It was now decided that he should study medicine, and 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 191

Aberdeen University was naturally chosen as being the Alma Mater of his father. He graduated at King’s College in 1855, and afterwards proceeded to Paris, where, in addition to an intelligent observation of French methods, he acquired considerable facility

in the French language. From Paris he returned to London, and took a course of the hospitals in the Metropolis. After a tour of considerable duration in Germany and the Tyrol, he finally settled in practice at Broughty-Ferry, where he became popular among 192 IN MEMORAIM. [189I the elite of Dundee, and among the general com- munity in that part of Forfarshire. Returning to Aberdeen about the year 1868, he gradually built up a practice in which his sound judgment and the peculiar sympathy of his temperament made him more and more beloved. He had not been long in the city until he was appointed one of the visiting physicians to the Royal Infirmary, a position which he held up to the time of his death. His interest in that useful institution was of the deepest kind, and he was indeed one of the earliest pioneers of reform within its walls. In 1875 he was appointed to the Chair of the Practice of Medicine in Aberdeen University in succession to the late Dr. Macrobin, and continued to hold that appointment with the highest approbation until the last. It is safe to say that no physician in the north of Scotland com- manded so wide a confidence in the minds of his brother practitioners, both for theoretical and experimental knowledge, as the deceased physician. He was chosen President of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Aberdeen with a special view to his presiding at the centenary gathering a few years ago, and all who were present at that distinguished assemblage will remember with what grace, dignity, and courtesy he filled the presidential chair. \V hile giving faithful attention to the discharge of his duties at the University, Dr. Smith-Shand enjoyed an enormous private practice, and of late years his external consulting practice over-shadowed that within the city. Ever popular with the students, he was yet scrupulously just and strict, both in examinations and in the issue of private testi- monials. Among his professional brethren he was held in the highest esteem and respect ; and of him it may be truthfully said that he never made a single enemy. Apart from the routine of his professional work he found time to devote some attention to literary 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 193 studies, and he had a wide knowledge both of sacred and secular literature. His studies in mediaeval literature bore good fruit in a paper upon the Knights Templars and Hospitallers of St. John delivered to the Diocesan Young Men’s Association. As a Churchman and politician he identified himself with the Episcopal Church and the Con- servative party. With the history of the Church, and even with the history of its liturgy, he had an intimate knowledge. He was one of the earliest trustees of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Aberdeen, and was ever a generous contributor to its funds during its long period of financial depression. He was several times returned to the Representative Church Council as a lay representative, first for St. Mary’s and afterwards for the mission at White- rashes. He was also a lay lecturer, commissioned to act if a vacancy should occur in the bishopric. Although in politics never figuring conspicuously, he bore from time to time an intelligent share in the discussion of political topics, speaking, among other occasions, when Mr. Logie Pirie presented himself as a Conservative candidate for the city. Among other duties of a public character he was a director of the Scottish Provincial Assurance Compan)^, now incorporated with the North British and Mercantile Assurance Company. In private life, Dr. Smith-Shand was both beloved and admired. Reticent and shy in the company of strangers, among his intimate friends he was distinguished for his keen sense of humour, his admirable powers as a raconteur, and his never- failing friendship to those who had the privilege of his confidence. He was above all a domestic man, ever preferring to spend his brief vacations with his family in some Highland village rather than to indulge in foreign travel or isolated enjoyment. Dr. Smith-Shand was twice married—first to Miss Barbara Shand of Templeland, near Forgue; and 194 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 second to Miss Stewart, a neice of the late Mr. Alex. Stronach, advocate, Aberdeen. By his first wife he has a surviving family of five daughters and one son, who is'now a student at Trinity College, Glenalmond. On the death of the father of his first wife she became the proprietrix of Templeland, and he then assumed the name of Shand in addition to his own surname Smith.—Aberdeeti Journal.

Rev. George Smith, Swatow.

Mr. Smith was a native of Aberdeen, and brother of Mr. Charles Smith of Messrs. Gordon & Smith, Union Street. He studied at Aberdeen Grammar School, and the Gymnasium, Old Aberdeen, and thereafter at King’s College, where he graduated M.A. in 1853. A diligent and conscientious student from the first, his thoughts were early directed to the mission field, and after passing through the usual divinity course in Aberdeen Free Church College, and receiving licence, he was ordained as a missionary in connection with the Mission of the English Presbyterian Church in China. In 1857, at the age of twenty-four, he was sent out to Amoy, where he laboured for a time in association with the late Rev. William Burns. At the request of Mr. Burns he went to Swatow, and there, with the exception of two intervals of furlough, he continued to labour with much zeal, energy, and success for the rest of his life. In 1861, Mr. Smith was joined in the mission by the Rev. H. L. M'Kenzie, of Inverness, who had been a College friend and com- panion, and who, writing to his brother, Mr. Charles Smith, says of him :—“ All these long years he has been the same warm-hearted, zealous, prayerful, laborious servant of the Lord. The mission, of which he was really the founder, has grown and 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 195 prospered since he landed in Swatow in 1858.” His medical attendant also writes respecting him :— “ The Chinese have lost a sincere friend—one who had always their best interests at heart, who was indefatigable in the work of teaching, preaching, and advising, and the means of spreading a knowledge of salvation among the people.” As indicated, Mr. Smith, during this full 33 years of service, had been twice home on furlough. On his first ■ furlough, about 16 years ago, he visited on his way many parts of Australia and New Zealand—where he has three brothers and a sister—stirring up an interest in his mission. On the last occasion of his being in Aberdeen—only a couple of years or thereby—many old friends were highly gratified to see him looking, as it seemed, robust in health, and to hear from his lips the plain, unvarnished tale of the solid progress made in the Christianisation of an interesting region in China, through the conscientious, self-sacrificing, and well-directed labours of himself and those associated with him. Mr. Smith, who had reached the age of 57, was twice married. His first wife was a daughter of the late Dr. James Gibson, Professor of Divinity and Church History in the Free Church College, Glasgow, and she lived only eight months after the marrage. His second wife, by whom and by a family of three he is survived, is a daughter of Rev. David Mellis, late of Dealing, Forfarshire.—Daily Free Press.

William Smith, City Architect.

William Smith was born in 1817. His father, Mr. John Smith, was a distinguished architect of more than local reputation, who enjoyed a large practice both in the city and county, and many fine buildings testify to his skill. In the city, amongst other notable specimens that may be mentioned, are 196 IN MEMOKIAM. [1891 the North Church, the Town’s Churchyard fagade, and what is now known as the Northern Club, which was built for Sir Alexander Banner- man of Crimdn- mogate. William Smith received his education at the Grammar School and Marischal College, where he graduated Master of Arts early in the thirties. Inheriting his father’s talent for design, he adopted the same profession and learned the tech- nicalities in his father’s office, where there was also serving his apprenticeship at that time, Mr. Robert Kerr, the now eminent emeritus professor of architecture of King’s Colleget, London. His apprenticeship over, Mr. Smith went to London to obtain further experience in his profession, entering the office of the celebrated Professor T. L. Donaldson, the founder of the Royal Institute of British Architects, who was not merely an architect but an artist of world-wide repute. Here Mr. Smith s fine classical taste was still further developed by the study of the noble specimens of Greek and Roman architecture which Professor Donaldson, who frequently travelled on the Continent, had collected. After spending a profitable eighteen months here, Mr. Smith visited Italy and Greece, travelling in these countries and continuing his studies for nearly two years, and 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 197 perfecting his taste in the most refined and classical principles of his art. This was in the years 1842-43, and not long afterwards he returned to Aberdeen, becoming his father’s partner in business, and consequently associated with him in many important works in town and county. Mr. Smith’s first prominent work was the design for the Trades Hall —a lovely piece of Tudor architecture, which, there is reason to believe, led to his selection by the Queen and Prince Albert to furnish the design for Balmoral Castle. Naturally this honour, and the eminent success with which he accomplished the commission, extended his fame. He enjoyed, like his father, a large business; and amongst the mansion houses erected from his plans were Dunecht (a beautiful specimen of Italian architecture), Cluny Castle, Garthdee, Edgehill, Blackball Castle, &c. Free Gilcomston Church, the City of Glasgow Bank Building in Market Street, and the Joint Station were also his work; but whilst this list might be extended, it will suffice if we specify only one other great work of his—the tower of St. Nicholas. It was designed by him in his capacity of superintendent of town’s works. This office, in which he succeeded his father, he has held with credit to himself and satisfaction to the community since 1852. On the death of his son, Mr. John Smith, several years ago, Mr. William Smith entered into partner- ship with Mr. William Kelly, and that firm was dissolved only recently. Endowed with a highly sensitive nature, Mr. Smith shrank from publicity. Present-day methods of gaining popularity were foreign to his disposition. Neither in local nor in Imperial affairs did he take any public part, though by no means uninterested in them. In his earlier years he practised the fine arts, painting water-colours which competent judges deem of high merit. A series of Italian scenes, which he painted on his return from his travels, o igB IN MEMORIAM. [1891

possessed such beauties of style as to make it matter for regret that the exigencies of a busy career did not leave; him opportunity to prosecute such delightful avocations. In politics Mr. Smith was a Conservative. He was one of the oldest elders of the East Parish Church. He was predeceased by Mrs. Smith, a daughter of the late Dr. Patrick Blaikie, R.N., several years ago, and is survived by four sons and several daughters. Two of his sons are Dr. Blaikie Smith, a well-known Aberdeen physician, and Mr. Garden Smith, artist, Edinburgh. —A berdeen Journal.

William Smith, late Joiner. Born at Rothiemay fully seventy years ago, Mr. Smith was bred to the trade of a joiner. As a lad, he was intelligent above the average of his class, and when he removed, in comparatively early life, to Aberdeen to follow his occupation—which he did for many years with the late firm of Warrack & Daniel— he naturally began to show a keen interest in local matters, particularly in the matter of municipal politics. He had gifts as a public speaker which he was able to use with no little effect, and his appearance at public meetings in olden days was a familiar sight to many. Then his taste for music was exceedingly keen. His love of Scotch music indeed almost amounted to a passion, and to the last one of his chiefest joys lay in the playing of strathspeys upon the violin—a form of composition in which he always felt at home. He leaves a widow and grown-up family—three sons and a daughter.—Daily Free Press.

Robert Sorley, V.S. Deceased, who belonged to Causewayhead, Stirling, came to the north in the year 1846, immediately on 1891] IN ME MORI AM. 199 qualifying as V.S. at the Royal Veterinary College, Edinburgh, and settled in the parish of Tarland. After a short interval he removed to the parish of Alford, where for about twenty years he conducted a large and extensive prac- tice. While there he came into contact with the late Mr. Wm. M‘Combie of Tillyfour, the well- known cattle breeder, who acknowledges in the highest terms in his book, entitled “ Cattle and Cattle Breeders,” the valu- able assistance and sound professional advice he never failed to receive from Mr. Sorley in all cases of disease among his large and valuable herds ; and Mr. M‘Combie’s opinion will, we are assured, Be endorsed by all who had occasion to ask Mr. Sorley’s advice. After leaving Alford he resided at Hazelhead, in the vicinity of Aberdeen, where he carried on a large veterinary business in and around the city. Mr. Sorley was of a quiet and unassuming disposition, of an obliging manner, and straightforward and conscientious in all the relationships of life, qualities which won for him the high esteem of all who knew him. He had reached the advanced age of 73 years, and is survived by his widow and a grown-up family.—Aberdeen Journal. 200 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Professor Stewart, Dublin. Deceased who was a son of the late Baillie Alexander Stewart, merchant in Aberdeen, was at one time very well known in Episcopal circles in the city. He was a member of the Episcopalian Church, but, along with his wife, who was a daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Cheyne, incumbent of St. John’s Episcopal Church, he became a convert to the Roman Catholic faith. Some little time afterwards he received the appointment to the Chair of Latin and Greek in the Roman Catholic University of Ireland.—Daily Free Press.

Rev. Archibald Storie. Deceased, who had attained his 74th year, was one of the oldest members of the Garioch Presbytery —he was known, indeed, as one of the fathers of the Presbytery. He was origina lly connected with a non - Presbyterian denomination, but having decided to enter the Estab- lished Church, he was selected as pastor of the Insch congregation, his ordination taking place in 1853. Since that date he has laboured at Insch with assi- duity and with much success, carrying on the work single-handed for many years. 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 201

Three years ago, however, Rev. R. S. Kemp, for some time assistant in the West Parish Church, Aberdeen, was appointed assistant and successor at Insch; and since that time Mr. Storie has enjoyed somewhat of that cessation from toil to which his years and his previous work so well entitled him. One of the chief characteristics of Mr. Storie—apart from his capacity for pastoral work—was his knowledge of Church law —a knowledge that was often of signal service to the Church,especially,though not by any means exclusively in the conduct of business in the Church Courts. For many years he discharged the duties of clerk to the Garioch Presbytery ; at times, when the clerk to the Aberdeen Synod was prevented from acting, Mr. Storie was selected to discharge temporarily the duties of that office also. Though less widely known in the Church than some of the older ministers, Mr. Storie yet enjoyed the cordial esteem of a large circle of his brethren; in the Garioch Presbytery, in particular, he was held in high regard, and his death will be mourned by not a few even beyond the confines of his own parish. Mr. A. J. W. Storie is a son of the deceased and a daughter of Mr. Storie is married to Mr George Cruden, Advocate.—Daily Free Press.

John Swanson. Mr. Swanson was a native of Thurso, his father having been a brewer in that town. When about twenty, deceased removed to London, and entered the police force but only remained about a year, when he returned northward, and became a constable in the Edinburgh City Police. He gradually worked his way upward, and was an officer in the force when, in 1868, he received the appointment of superintendent of the Aberdeen City Police. That post he held for twelve or thirteen years. One of his sons is in the London police force, and in the same force is a brother of the deceased, the well-known Inspector Swanson.—Daily Free Press. 202 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Robert M. Talbot, Shipmaster.

Deceased came of a well-known seafaring family, having been a son of Captain William Talbot, and was a very skilful mariner. At one time he superintended in Aberdeen the construction of the steamer “Zaffiro,’'1 of which he was part owner, and in this vessel he sailed to China and successfully engaged in the coasting trade there. Latterly he commanded several of the steamers built by Messrs. Hall, Russell, & Co. for the China trade. Captain Talbot, who was 41 years of age, returned to this country a few months ago. He was married to a San Francisco lady, but had no family. The deceased was exceedingly popular in Aberdeen.—Aberdeen Journal.

William Thom, Shipmaster.

The deceased gentleman, who was a native of Aberdeen, was in the early part of his life a ship captain, and was largely employed in the China trade. At a later period, he became connected with the great London and China firm of Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson, & Co. A little over twenty years ago he returned home to Aberdeen, where he settled down in the property at Outseats, which he had purchased. During the whole of that time he has been intimately associated with the work of Ruthrieston Free Church, of which he has been an elder for the greater part of that time. He took no active part in municipal matters, but passed his years in quiet and unostentatious works of kindness and generosity. He was close upon seventy years of age, and is survived by his widow and his two sons.—Daily Free Press. 1891] IN MEM0R1AM. 203

Robert Brown Thomson, Jubbulpove.

The deceased gentleman, who was a son of Rev. John Thomson, late of Grey friars Church, received his early education at the Gymnasium, Old Aberdeen, where he proved an industrious scholar, and he after- wards proceeded to Aberdeen University. In 1870 he was attached to the large educational establish- ment at Cooper’s Hill, London, where he took a very high place. He entered the Indian Civil Service, and was soon marked for promotion in the Public Works Department, those in authority readily recognising his ability and force of character, which was soon to find exercise in an important appoint- ment at Jubbulpore, India. He threw himself into the discharge of his difficult duties with an eagerness which was noted, and he received many indications of the esteem of those with whom he came into contact. In 1874, he returned to his native country on a well- deserved holiday, and at this time he was married to Miss May Forbes, daughter of the late Principal Pirie. He occupied a position on the First Grade Executive in the Public Works Department at Jubbulpore, and as executive engineer was called upon to undertake very responsible operations, which at all times were discharged with the care and shrewdness that characterised all his official work. Many important schemes of irrigation were carried out under his direction, and in other works of a public kind he took an important part. He held high testimonials from many gentlemen who had opportunities of seeing how he discharged his duties. Death came to him within three weeks of his retirement, and it is now sorrowfully remembered that, though in weakened health, he returned to India to complete the term of service which would entitle him to a pension. He had reached the age of 41 years, and leaves a widow and a family of three sons and three daughters.— Aberdeen Journal. 204 !N MEMORIAM. [1891

Alexander Urquhart, San Pedro, California.

Deceased was a native of Aberdeen and son of the late Captain Alexander Urquhart, long known at this port. Mr. Urquhart, who was 38 years of age, followed a seafaring career in the early part of his life. Fifteen years ago, however, he left this country, and in course of time found his way to the region of California. There he settled down to a commercial life, and some nine years ago succeeded to the business of which he was at the time of his death the principal partner. He had been twice chosen treasurer of the city of San Pedro, and was so at the time of his death. As a man of business, Mr. Urquhart was very much respected in San Pedro. His genial and kindly disposition won for him many friends in the country of his adoption, and his death has called forth throughout the district many expressions of sincere regret. Mr. Urquhart leaves a widow.—Daily Free Press.

James Dingwall Walker, Journalist.

Mr. Walker was a native of Aberdeen, and was educated in the Grammar School of the Granite City. He entered commercial life as a young man, but his literary tastes and abilities soon asserted themselves, and he abandoned commerce to devote himself to journalism. He was for a time engaged on the reporting and sub-editorial staff of one of the Edinburgh newspapers. His next engagement was in Glasgow, where he was a member of the sub-editorial staff of the “ Scottish News." From the “ News ” he went to Messrs. Blackie & Sons, and for the past fifteen years he did good work in connection with the various high-class publications issued by that firm, by the members of which he was very highly esteemed. He did not, however, sever 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 205 altogether his connection with the daily press, and continued to contribute music and art criticism to the press. He was also an occasional and esteemed contributor to the columns of the “ Weekly Free Press.” In all he wrote, whether in prose or verse (and in Mr. Walker there was a true lyric vein), there was evidence of an intimate acquaintance with the history and antiquities of Scotland, while the products of his pen revealed a delicate literary style which gave a charm to all that he wrote. Mr. Walker was a specialist in Scottish literature, particularly old Scottish poetry, and some of the best work he did for the Messrs. Blackie was in connection with their edition of Burns in seven volumes. He also lent valuable assistance to his brother, Mr. William Walker, of Aberdeen, in the production of the latter’s valuable work, “ The Bards of Bon-Accord.” Among the last literary work that Mr. Walker did was for Messrs. Blackie’s Encyclopaedia, which has just been completed. In private life Mr. Walker, who was not physically robust, was a man of an exceedingly amiable, modest, and unselfish character, and his comparatively early departure will be sincerely mourned by many attached friends. He leaves a widow and two daughters.—Daily Free Press.

Thomas Yuille Wardrop.

Mr. Wardrop was of Scotch extraction, his father, before leaving for Madeira, where he ultimately settled, having a property near Glasgow. On his father’s estate on the island of Madeira, the deceased gentleman was born in January, 1821, so that he had completed his 70th year. He received his early education in Madeira, but, his father dying, he was, through the influence of some friends, appointed as a representative of a large London house, doing 206 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 business in produce with North Africa. He was subsequently appointed secretary of an English Insurance Com- pany called the “Experience,” and was indeed its first and only manager. It was started by a number of gentle- men to work upon a mortality table based on the ex- perience of seven- teen offices. His connection with this scheme was not of long dura- tion ; and he entered the service of the “ Minerva ” as travelling in- spector of that company, which, it may be noted, was ultimately transferred to the “ Standard.” In 1852 he was appointed London secretary to the Scottish Provincial Company, which had just been incorporated under that title. Being of very energetic business habits he re-organised, and very successfully developed the business of the company in England. In 1868 he was offered and accepted the post of manager at the head office of the company in Aberdeen. He continued in that position up till April of 1889, just before the amalgamation of the Scottish Provincial with the North British and Mercantile, when, as part of the arrangement which had been made in connection with the transference of the business, he retired with a pension. Mr. Wardrop was all along a very 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 207 energetic and successful manager, and did much to develop the business of the company. He took no active part in public life, but he was none the less interested in all that was going on in the political and social world. In politics he was a Conservative of very strong and decided views, as to which, as with his other opinions, there could be no mistake. He was a man of great natural kindness of heart, and made many friends. He married the daughter of an officer in Her Majesty’s service, by whom and by four sons and five daughters he is survived. His eldest son, Dr. Douglas Wardrop, is in the Indian medical service ; Thomas and Colin both hold colonial bank appointments, and his youngest son is in an insurance office in India. Of the daughters, three are married—one to Dr. Russell, a medical practitioner in England ; another to Dr. Swaine, who is in the Indian army; and a third to a Scotch gentle- man resident in New Zealand.—Aberdeen Journal.

Charles Warrack, M.A.

The deceased gentleman was a son of the late Mr. Charles Warrack, Sheriff Clerk-Depute of Aberdeen- shire, and was born, we believe, in Old Aberdeen. At King’s College he made a brilliant figure, and was a high prizeman, graduating in 1882 with first-class honours in mental philosophy and second-class in classics, and carrying off as well the Hutton prize and Bain medal. In 1883 he gained an exhibition at Balliol College, Oxford, but his delicate health prevented his doing more than making a pass in moderations. He obtained, however, a first-class in the final School, in which his fine philosophical capacity made him first man of his year. After taking his degree at Oxford, he went abroad as tutor in a private family, and spent the winter in Algeria. In 208 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

1888 he was appointed to a lectureship on Aristotle in his own college of Balliol, and we understand his prelections were very highly appreciated, but unfortunately, owing to still failing health, he was unable to continue them, and was obliged again to betake himself to a warmer climate. On resuming work, he last year won the blue ribbon for philosophical students in Oxford, the Green prize, with an essay on William of Occam, displaying a great amount of research and fine literary faculty. Mr. Warrack,indeed, had a singular readiness in grasping philosophical problems as well as in expounding them, and had he lived and enjoyed even a fair measure of health, there is little doubt that he would have become a man of mark. As it is, he has been cut off before reaching his prime, or entering the region of real achievement, but he will be remembered as one of the most promising students that Aberdeen has sent forth for a good many years past—Northern Daily News.

George Webster, Bloomfield. In his younger days, Mr. Webster followed the occupation of a farmer, and for a considerable time was tenant of the farm of Newlands, Fintray, but well nigh a quarter of a century ago he gave up agriculture and came to reside in Aberdeen. For a good many years Mr. Webster has devoted himself to the interpretation of the Revelation, and, in addition to several pamphlets bearing on the subject, he published, in 1879, a book entitled “Apocalyptic Histories in Plain Language.” Mr. Webster’s creed was what might be called “ anti-Israelitish,” he holding that before the end of the world there must be a return to Palestine, not only of Jews, but of Christians who believed in his peculiar doctrine. The year of the return, according to Mr. Webster, was 1893, and the Second Coming of the Messiah was to take place 70 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 209 years after the Christians had been in possession of the land. So firmly was he impressed with the tenets he held that a couple of years ago he sold his property in Bloomfield Place to be in readiness for departure to the Holy Land. According to his calculation, the exact date of the departure of those who shared the same belief as himself was exactly two years from the present month (July). Mr. Webster was not alone in holding these doctrines, there being a society of some 30 or 40 persons in Aberdeen who shared the same opinions, and who met almost nightly in their own private houses to discuss their views. This little band, it is believed, are also ready, when the time arrives, to go to Palestine. Despite all opposition, Mr. Webster never missed an opportunity of pressing his ideas on the Apocalyptic prophecies, and on Sunday evenings during the summer months he occupied a stand at the top of Marischal Street, where, surrounded by his friends, he expounded the doctrines of the sect. Mr. Webster was also a strong believer in the curing of disease by faith, and, in two cases at least, sent sufferers from Aberdeen to the Home established by Mr. Baxter, the editor of the “ Christian Herald,” to have their ailments cured. In those cases where he failed to impress his friends with the efficacy of the “ faith cure,” he resorted to the herb cure, he being an adept in the practice of herbal medicine. In fact, it is stated that Mr. Webster was the instrument of effecting a good many cures by means of herbs, and it is believed that amongst his possessions is a list of those sufferers whom he successfully treated. To the social and moral improvement of farm servants he devoted a deal of time, his farming experience giving him an insight into the conditions under which that class live. Mr. Webster, who was unmarried, was in his 64th year. He was a man of the most amiable disposition, and the poor will miss in him a generous friend.—Aberdeen Journal. 210 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

John Webster, LL.D.

Mr. Webster was in the 81st year of his age, having been born on 6th September, 1810. He was a native of Aberdeen, being the eldest son of the late Mr. Alexander Webster, advocate, by Margaret, daughter of Mr. James M'Killigan, merchant, Aberdeen. The deceased gentleman was educated at the Grammar School, and at Marischal College; and,devoting himself to the study of thelaw,he became a member of the local Society of Advocates in 1831, being at the time of his death the oldest member on the rolls of the Society with the single exception of Mr. Francis Edmond, who entered the Society two years before him. He then went into partnership with his father, the business being conducted in the premises in King Street, still occupied by the deceased’s firm ; the firm originally A. & J. Webster, was transformed into J. & A. Webster on the assumption by Mr. Webster of his son, Mr. Alexander Webster, as a partner in 1866—the deceased’s father had died some ten years previously—and a few years ago, Mr. Horace Fildes, solicitor, was also assumed as a partner. Mr. Webster’s more conspicuous public life in the city began in 1853, when he entered the Town Council as a representative of the then First Ward, being returned in conjunction with Provost (after- wards Sir) Thomas Blaikie. He took a leading part in the opposition to a proposed railway to Peterhead and Fraserburgh to run through the Aberdeen Links, giving evidence against the bill before a Parliamentary Committee. Returned again at the head of the poll in the First Ward in 1856, Mr. Webster was elected to the Provostship in succession to Sir Thomas Blaikie, the state of local politics being markedly quiet at the time. Mr. Webster’s three years’ regime was, however, marked by not a few important incidents in local history. 211 IN MEMORIAM 1891] 212 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

First and foremost stood the question of the “fusion” of the Colleges—of which he was a supporter, in opposition to the Aberdeen “ citizen ” view. During Mr. Webster’s Provostship, an investi- gation was conducted into the Grammar School, then in a deplorable state of inefficiency, and some consideration was given to a proposed new Police Bill—but the settlement of both questions was left to his successor, Sir Alexander Anderson. But the most conspicuous features of Mr. Webster’s term of office was the successful issue of a movement (initiated soon after he became Provost) to invite the British Association to hold (for the first time) one of their annual meetings in Aberdeen. The Association complied with the request, and the meeting was held in September, 1859, additional eclat being lent to it by the fact that the Prince Consort consented to preside. In connection with this meeting, and in view of the fact that at that time Aberdeen was without a large public hall, Provost Webster started a proposal for providing a public hall of suitable dimensions. This proposal was successfully carried out by the formation of the Music Hall Company (of which Mr. Webster was appointed chairman, remaining so ever since) and by the erection of the Music Hall, and the connection therewith of the old County Buildings. The Music Hall was formally opened on 14th September, 1859, by Prince Albert delivering his inaugural address as President of the British Association. It was also at Provost Webster’s suggestion that the Exhibition of Art and Antiquities was organised which proved so remarkable a feature of the British Association meeting. Mr. Webster, in his early years, was a Tory in politics; and in his municipal career he was associated, along with Mr. Alexander Nicol and Mr. George Jamieson, with the “ Whiggish ” party.in the 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 213

Council, as differentiated from the more go-ahead party—the party that later on came to be known as the “ Party of Progress,” headed originally by Sir Alexander Anderson, and afterwards by Mr. William Leslie and Mr. J. W. Barclay. In general politics he was an advocate of disestablishment—he had joined the Free Church in 1843—and he gradually advanced towards a more pronounced Liberalism. He took a pretty prominent part in local meetings against the “ spirited foreign policy ” of the Beacons- field Government of 1874-80 ; and on the formation of the Aberdeen Liberal Association in 1877 he was appointed President, holding that post for three years. Mr. Farley Leith’s retirement from the Parliamentary representation of Aberdeen at the dissolution of i-88o left the Liberal party in the city without a candidate. The situation was rendered all the more serious by the proffer of their services by no fewer than thirteen candidates; and in the difficulty of making a selection in the short time available, the Liberal Association strongly pressed on Mr. Webster the general desire of the community that he should come forward as the candidate. Mr. Webster acceded to this requisition. He was opposed by Mr. James Shaw—another “Aberdeen laddie,” as he persisted in calling himself—but, after an exciting contest, Mr. Webster was triumphantly returned by 7505 votes to 3139. Mr. Webster served through the Parliament, but did not solicit re-election in 1885. He was an active member of Parliament without making himself unduly conspicuous, and he gained in time a large measure of the confidence of his fellow-members from Scotland. Mr. Webster was unable to follow his leader in his new departure on Home Rule in 1886. He threw his lot in with the Liberal Unionists with- out hesitation. Mr. Webster was a fluent and vigorous speaker, and was exceedingly well informed on all political questions ; and his annual addresses p

« 214 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

to his constituents always embodied an instructive review of the proceedings of Parliament and the general situation of political affairs. Mr. Webster was for many years chairman of the Scottish Provincial Assurance Company, and on its recent absorption by the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company, he became chairman of the local Board of the latter Company. He was chair- man of the Aberdeen Gas Company when the Gasworks were taken over by the Town Council in 1871; and he directed the policy of the Company during the contest in Parliament as to the terms of purchase, receiving the warm thanks of the share- holders for the successful issue of the struggle. Mr. Webster was a member of the Free South Church. He married, in 1839, Miss Margaret Chalmers, daughter of the late Mr. David Chalmers of West- burn, printer and publisher in Aberdeen, and he is survived by her and by their only son, Mr. Alexander Webster, advocate. He is also survived by a brother —Dr. James Webster, Elgin ; and by a sister—Mrs. Catto of Wallfield, widow of the late Mr. Robert Catto. One of Mr. Webster’s latest—if not actually his latest—public appearance in Aberdeen was in December, 1889, when he presided at the presenta- tion of the portrait of Mr. Francis Edmond to the Free Church College.—Daily Free Press.

G. G. Wilkie, Banker.

Mr. Wilkie received his early education at St. Andrews, and entered the service of the Commercial Bank, being successively accountant at the Pitlochry and Falkirk branches. About 25 years ago he came to Aberdeen as accountant in that bank’s branch, subsequently leaving it for the Dundee branch. He afterwards returned to Aberdeen, when he was 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 215 appointed accountant to the City of Glasgow Bank, under the management of Messrs. Milne & Walker, and remained in that position until the failure of that bank in 1878. He then entered the service of the Town and County Bank, and was appointed joint- manager of the Harbour Branch, which office he held till the time of his death. Mr. Wilkie was an enthusiastic volunteer, and held the rank of major in the City Artillery Corps. He pos- sessed a large amount of shrewd- ness, and was a man of excellent business abilities. Socially, he was of a genial and kindly disposition, which character- istics won him many friends. Deceased leaves a widow but no family.—Aberdeen Journal.

Surgeon-General Will.

The deceased officer, George Elmsly Will, was the son of Mr. Thomas Will, Manufacturer, London, formerly of Aberdeen ; and he was a nephew of Dr. James Will, Aberdeen, and cousin of Dr. Ogilvie Will. He studied at Aberdeen University, and graduated at Edinburgh, in 1859, L.R.C.P.and M.R.C.S. Entering the army in i860, he was a distinguished soldier, and 216 IN MEMORIAM. [1891 had seen a great deal of foreign service. He served throughout the New Zealand War of 1863-6, including the Waikato and Taranaki Campaigns. In 1882 he served with the 1st Battalion Cameron Highlanders in the Egyptian War, being present at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir. He also served in the Nile expedition of 1884-5, as medical inspector on the lines of communication, and was frequently mentioned in despatches, being also promoted to the rank of brigade- surgeon. He was once recommended for the Victoria Cross for special bravery. Surgeon-General Will, who was about 54 years of age, was married, and leaves a son and daughter. There were few medical officers in the army so popular.—Aberdeen Journal.

John Willet, C.E.

Mr. Willet was a native of Ayrshire, having been born on 6th February, 1815, at Aitkenhead, in the parish of Kirkmichael, and received his early education at Kirkmichael Parish School, Dailly Public School, and Ayr Academy. Subsequently he attended the School of Arts in Edinburgh, and private classes in the city, and, choosing engineering as his profession, he in 1837 entered as an apprentice ip the office of Mr. James Thomson, civil engineer, Glasgow. Here he received that training which, with his own natural abilities, raised him in the course of time to be one of the foremost in the profession. At the conclusion of his training period he became an assistant to Mr. Andrew Thomson, also a civil engineer in Glasgow, and a gentleman in a very large practice in the construction of railways. While in Mr. Thomson’s employment, Mr. Willet was engaged on the Glasgow and Garnkirk and Pollock and Govan railways, and other lines sub- sequently merged in the Caledonian Railway. In 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 217

1843 he went to Liverpool and became assistant to the well-known civil engineers, Messrs. Locke & Errington. He was engaged in the construction of, or in other capacities, on the following important lines of railway, and others, viz.:—The Grand Junction Railway, the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail- way, the Harrogate Railway, London and York

Railway, Runcorn Gap Railway, the Birkenhead and Manchester Railway, the Caledonian Railway and its extensions and branches, and the Aberdeen Railway. In 1845 Mr. Willet was appointed one of the resident engineers of the Caledonian Railway, and his con- nection with the Company dated from this period. He was one of the engineers in charge of the con- struction of the lines authorised by the Caledonian 218 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

Railway Act of 1845 from the southern terminus at Carlisle northwards, and of which Messrs. Locke & Errington were the engineers, and Messrs. John Stevenson & Co. the contractors. Mr. Willet came to Aberdeen in June, 1847, having then received the appointment of resident engineer on the Aberdeen Railway, afterwards amalgamated with the Scottish North-Eastern. He was also engaged in civil engineering business during this time. When the Scottish North-Eastern became absorbed in the Caledonian system in 1866, Mr. Willet still continued: engineer to the Caledonian Company, and was subsequently employed by them in the completion of the Denburn Valley Railway, the Dundee and Forfar and Newtyle branches and other works. When he severed his official connection with the railway, Mr. Willet entered into a general practice in Aberdeen, but he still laid out his abilities in some degree in the direction of railway making. The last railway projected by Mr. Willet was a line from Brechin to Edzell, for which Parliamentary powers were obtained in 1890. At this time he was engaged principally in the construction of harbours, bridges, waterworks, and other similar works. In 1851 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, and on 7th December, 1852, a member of Institute of Civil Engineers, London. The deceased was a member of the Aberdeen Philo- sophical Society. To all these bodies he had contributed papers on engineering, each of which were characterised by thoughtful elaborations and precision of detail. Mr. Willet married Miss Mary Anne Rennie, by whom he had issue four sons and three daughters, of whom the eldest son is Mr. John Willet, advocate, in this city. The deceased was of a retiring nature, but took an intelligent interest in matters of local and Imperial importance. In politics he was a moderate Liberal, but at the last election voted 1891] IN MEMORIAM. 219

Conservative. Of a kindly and cheerful disposition, Mr. Willet was a man of gentlemanly bearing towards all with whom he came in contact. His society was coveted by his intimate friends, who found him the most genial and lovable of men.—Northern Daily News.

John Wilson, Builder. Mr. Wilson, who was a native of Methlick, came to Aberdeen about 40 years ago, and has been in business for the long period of 38 years. He was for several years a member of St. Nicholas Parochial Board, and an active member of John Street E.U. Church, in the affairs of which he took an active interest. Deceased was 71 years of age.—Aberdeen Journal.

David Wyllie, Banker. Though not coming very prominently before the general public, the deceased was for over a lengthened period one of the most earnest and popular members of our local volunteer force, in which, from the rank of private, he rose to hold the irriportant position of major. Amongst officers and men alike Mr. David Wyllie was a special favourite, his genial unassuming man- ners, his interest in his military duties, his ready willingness to do a kindly action to a comrade, whatever (yU CL l<(>

220 IN MEMORIAM. [1891

that comrade’s rank, being conspicuous features in his volunteer connection. Mr. Wyllie had a wide circle of private friends, by whom he was held in much esteem, for he was incapable of an ungentlemanly action. Quiet, well-informed, a good conversationalist, with a keen sense of humour, deceased was a most lovable companion. No ear ever heard David Wyllie say an evil word against any one, though all the same he could be firm enough in his opinions where the interests of right and fair play called for manly utterance. Deceased, who was the eldest son of the late Mr. David Wyllie, for a long time manager of the Aberdeen (now the Union) Bank, had completed the fiftieth year of his age.—Daily Free Press.

James Young, Sheriff-Officer.

Deceased was well known in legal circles in the north, and not a few will learn of his demise with regret, for he was a man of a kind heart. A native of Glasgow, he came to Aberdeen about 23 years ago as law clerk to Mr. A. E. Smith, Advocate ; and after- wards became an officer of Court in the Sheriffdom of Aberdeen, Banff, and Kincardine. Mr. Young, who was in his 55th year, was married, and leaves three sons.—Aberdeen Journal.
