Elsewhere will be found notice of the death of the late Richard C. WELDON of Penobsquis. He was a man of more thn average intellect, of sound judgement and unblemished integrity, who entertained strong views on questions wich interested him, but was not easily turned from his opinions. Mr. Weldon was a native of Albert Co. and a descendant of one of the early Yorkshire immigrants. In early life he settled in Penobsquis where he conducted a tanning business. Mr. Weldon was a leading member of the Methodist church in his neighborhood and one of the original promoters of the total abstinance movement in that part of the country. He took a strong interest in public questions, supporting Mr. Tilley and the Liberal government in old times. He was in favor of Confederation and a supporter of the liberal conservative policy in federal affairs. Mr. Weldon leaves four sons and two daughters. One daughter is the wife of Winslow McLEOD of Penobsquis. The other resided with her father. The sons are Stephen WELDON, who is a farmer and lives at Penobsquis; Richard WELDON who is dean of the Dalhousie Law school and a member of parliament for Albert Co.; John WELDON who resides in Montreal; George WELDON who is a member of the firm S. Hayward & Co. of this city. Another son, Robert WELDON, died in St. John at the beginning of what promised to be a brilliant career as a barrister. Mrs. Weldon whose maiden name was Miss GELDARD, died three years ago at the age of 76 years.
