E. Embleton Dead. Well Known Resident of Harvey Station, Was Born in 1859.
Harvey Station, March 20 -- The death of Elisha Embleton occurred at his home on Monday morning, March 13th. Although in failing health for several months, his condition was not considered serious until a week before his death when he suffered a severe heart attack.
Mr Embleton was born here on April 4th, 1859, youngest member of the family of the late George and Elizabeth (Twizel) Embleton, who came to this country from the north of England among the early settlers of Harvey. He lived his entire life on the old Embleton homestead and was the last of his family, his wife Jane (Piercy), having predeceased him twenty-one years ago. He is survived by several nephews and nieces. He was a life-long and devoted member of the Presbyterian Church, from which the funeral was held at three o'clock after prayers at the home at 1.30, March 14th.

The funeral service, which was largely attended was conducted by Rev. J. F. McKay, pastor of St. Paul's United Church, McAdam, former pastor of the Harvey charge and personal friend of the deceased. The choir beautifully rendered the hymns The Lord's My Shepherd; Safe In The Arms Of Jesus; and Good Night Here, Good Morning Up There.

The pallbearers were Manzer Embleton, Irvine Embleton, James Johnston and Pembroke Little. Interment was made in the family lot in the Harvey Cemetery.
