  	Kenneth Bethune Scott Kenneth Bethune Scott passed away at 18 years of age, after a lengthy illness. He was the eldest son of Mr and Mrs Harvey W Scott and was a native of Almonte. He was a particularly promising boy, a good student at the High School and a fine athlete. The race he ran two or three years ago when he won the Junior Hundred Yards at the High School sports day was spectacular and was long talked of. He was a good musician playing the violin well. Of an engaging disposition he endeared mimself to many and it was a shock to them to learn that there was little or no hope of his recovery, when he became ill. He himself never gave up hope, until the very last, and always spoke cheerfully of his condition. He was an active member of Bethany United Young People's Society and the Sunday School. He had the faculty of throwing himself, heart and soul, into everthing in which he was interested. Besides his parents he leaves to mourn his loss two younger brothers - Arthur and Edward. The deep sympathy of the community found expression in the large attendance at the funeral on Wednesday, and in the magnificent flower tokens. Very impressive services were conducted by Rev. J. R. MacCrimon and Rev. J. T. E. Blanchard. The pallbearers were six of his schoolboy friends; Lawrence Barrowclough, Howard Allison, Eric Smith, Hedley Porter, Kenneth Fraser, and Stewart Johnston. his remains were interred in the auld Kirk Cemetery.
