He was the son of John and Elizabeth Runciman, a descendant of one of the oldest families in Annapolis Royal. He was born in the house "Gervin Bank" which his grandfather bought from the late Reverend J Milledge and the 4th generation still residing in the beautiful old home. His grandfather, the late George Runciman, a leading merchant in Haddington, Scotland came to Halifax and started a dry goods business. Later coming to Annapolis Royal in 1822 he established the firm of George Runciman and Son which continued to 9 years ago, when Mr Runciman sold on account of ill health. A fire in 1880 destroyed his father's store. Mr Runciman's handsome brick store was burned in the big fire of 1921, but he rebuilt and the formal opening in 1922 celebrated the centennial of the business. The site known as Runciman's Corner is on the corner of St. George Street and St. Anthony Street opposite Fort Anne Park. Descended of staunch Presbyterian stock, he was an elder in Saint Andrew's Church, and after the union, continued as an Elder of Saint George's United Church. In 1895 he married Miss Annie E Dargie, daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Charles Dargie, and they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last June. Beside his wife, he is survived by 3 daughters: Marjorie, wife of Justice AB Hudson, Ottawa; Doris, Professor of Home Economics of Mount Allison University and Mildred, who resided at home. The funeral will be held from the late residence this afternoon with interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, Rev Dr. EM Baird officiating.
