ELIAS CODE PASSES TO LAST LONG REST
-------------
The old timers of the Red Deer district, the worthy pioneers who have helped to make this great province what it is, are slowing passing to their last long sleep, and few were better known in this district that the late Elias Code, who died at his home in Springvale on Sunday last, after a protracted illness of many months, of heart failure.
Elias was born at Smith Falls, Ont., and came of good old U.E. Loyalist stock. He was married to Elizabeth McCuan 46 years ago, and he, together with his wife and six children came west and settled in the Springvale district in 1892, where they have resided ever since.
He was a staunch member of the Presbyterian Church, a loyal citizen, and an upright man. He was a life long conservative, but independent in thought and action, and was a great friend of the late Sir John A. Macdonald. He was the second President of the Red Deer Agricultural Society, following the late Dr. Leonard Gaetz in the early history of Red Deer, and always took great interest in Agricultural matters.
Besides his sorrowing widow, he leaves one daughter and six sons to mourn his death, namely, Mrs. W.J. Reay, W.P. and Duncan, of Springvale, J.B. and Elias who reside in Brigdon, Alta., and James and D.J. who reside at Chauvin, Alta.
The funeral, which took place yesterday, Tuesday, afternoon, from the family residence for Mount Pleasant Cemetery, was largely attended, the funeral being under the auspices of the Masonic order, deceased being a member of St. John Lodge, No. 63, Carlton Place, Ont.
