    Popular Citizen Served As North Lanark Registrar For 27 Years
    St. Paul's Anglican Church was filled to capacity, Tuesday afternoon, as a final tribute to Hugh C. Bowland, one of Almonte's most popular citizens, who died suddenly early Sunday morning. Mr. Bowland was 76 years of age. He had been in his usual health up to Friday night when he took part in a lawn bowling tournament. He felt ill next day and a physician was summoned.

After some years, the Bowland went West to Lacombe, Alberta, where he farmed until 1906, when they returned to Almonte. From then until 1915 he was with the local foundry and iron works and in that year received the appointment he held until the time of his death. Mr. Bowland was a faithful member of St. Paul's Anglican Church and served as warden and as treasurer for many years. He was fond of sport and was an ardent curler and lawn bowler. In these organizations he was very popular and whether he won or lost he thoroughly enjoyed the game. Surviving in addition to his widow are four daughters and one son, namely, Mrs. Stewart Houston, Tyvan, Sask.; Mrs. Maurice Hale of Newport, R.I.; Mrs. Alex Stewart and Mrs. Norman Paul, both of Ramsay, and Alan H.
