    Harvey Station, Nov 7 -- Miss Ida Pollock has just received the sad news of the sudden death of her uncle William David Cessford, Vancouver.   The late Mr Cessford was born at Harvey Station on November 23, 1866, son of the late John and Margaret Cessford.   He left for Western Canada 48 years ago and since that time had been engaged in the lumbering business in British Columbia.   Surviving are two brothers John Albert, Vancouver and Thomas at Harvey.   Mrs Joseph Pollock his only sister predeceased him seven years ago.   At the time Miss Ida Pollock was the guest of her uncle in September he was apparently in good health.   Many friends in Harvey will regret to learn of his passing.
