JOHN HARRIS FORD PASSED AWAY FRIDAY; FUNERAL TODAY One of the Chilliwack Valley's best known residents passed away on Friday afternoon in the person of Mr. John Harris Ford, in his 74th year. Mr. Ford was a native of Meaford, Ont., after marriage coming west to Manitoba, settling at Boissevain, where he farmed for seventeen years. Nineteen years ago he came to Vancouver where he resided for a year, and then moved to Chilliwack taking up a farm near Sardis and living there seven years. He then moved to Fairfield Island where he also farmed, and three years ago moved to the city taking up residence in a beautiful new home on Williams road. He took ill about eighteen months ago, and for the past few months had been confined to his home continuously. Mr. Ford is survived by his wife, two daughters and four sons: Mrs. Birbeck and Mrs. F. C. C. Chadsey, Chilliwack; Russell, of Chilliwack; Lawrence, of Port Haney; George and Dr. John Ford, of Los Angeles, California. Dr. Albert Birbeck is a grandson. A sister, Mrs. Tricker, resides at Winnipeg and a brother and several half brothers at Meaford, Ont. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon from the United Church, at three o'clock, the service being conducted by Rev. H. A. Ireland, assisted by Rev. F. B. Stacey. The funeral was conducted under Masonic auspices, the bearers being: Messrs. J. V. Semple, Isaac Moore, R. K. McCammon, J. H. Ashwell, L. A. Thornton, Rev. E. Manuel. Mr. Ford was a life long member of the Masonic Order, and for years was associated with the Independent Order of Foresters, and the Royal Templars of Temperance. His most active association, however, was in connection with the life and activities of the Methodist Church. Mr. Ford always took a keen and active interest in all moral questions, was always associated with church boards, and could and did for occasion acceptably supply in a pulpit capacity. He was a man of strong convictions and the courage to express and support them. He was of robust health, very active, cheerful and optimistic, kindly and neighborly, which qualities made for him a host of friends throughout the Valley. Mr. and Mrs. Ford celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on February 16th, when they were the recipients of many kindly expressions of good will. All members of the family are in attendance at the funeral, Mr. and Mrs. George Ford, and Dr. John Ford motoring from California.
