Deceased was born into the family of William Somerville and his, wife Agnes Mather in the month of August 1856. In early manhood he was employed during the winter months in the lumber woods and became an expert logmaker. On Nov. 3, 1886, he and Agnes Rodger entered into a matrimonial alliance and the young couple settled down on the homestead where they have since lived and by their strenuous industry and thrift converted a lot dotted with pine slumps and large boulders into one of the finest and cosiest homesteads in this locality and the weary wanderer in need of rest and refreshment has always received a welcome to its portals. David Somerville was held in high esteem and great respect by his neighbours and acquaintances for the many good traits of character exhibited during his lifetime among which his industrious habits, sterling honesty and fair dealing, integrity of speech and action, sympathy and leniency toward the erring and readiness to assist in any good work for the material benefit and welfare of the community were conspicuous. For many years he was a Director of the Agricultural Society. In church matters he was a supporter of the Congregational denomination until the union in 1925, when he transferred his allegiance to the United Church, and in politics always was a supporter of the Liberal party. The funeral services were conducted at his late residence on Tuesday afternoon and were largely attended by his former friends and acquaintances. Rev. Robert Stocker, pastor of the United Church conducting the same. The surviving relatives are his widow, his. two sons, William R. and Harry, and his daughter Nettie (Mrs. Herb Paul) of Lavant, his brothers Robert M. of Dalhousie, Wm. H. of Lanark and Matthew of this place, and sisters, Robina (Mrs. Wm. Yuill) and Isabella, Mrs. Samuel Yuill, to all of whom the hearts of the whole community goes out in sympathy in their severe bereavement.
