BANNERMAN - On the afternoon of Thursday, 13th Sept., Donald Bannerman was called to his rest, in the 65th year of his age.  He was born in the Parish of Loth in Sutherlandshire, on the 24th December, 1818, and emigrated to this country with his parents in 1841.  His father was John Bannerman, a worthy patriarch of the old school in the North of Scotland, a man of sterling piety, who was intimately acquainted with some of the eminent 'Ministers and men of the far North.' During the 'ten years' conflict he took a deep interest in the affairs of the Church of Scotland, and from principle was opposed to patronage and the intrusion of ministers upon reclaiming congregations.  His son Donald adopted his father's principles and followed in the footsteps of his faith and piety.  He was chosen to be an elder by the congregation at Barney's River, to which office he was ordained on the 1st day of January, 1865.  His light was shining before men and his life was an example of humility, self-denial amd godliness to all around him.  He was a great friend of the late Mrs. Blair, and a coajutor with her in every effort for the religious instruction of the young in the Sabbath School and other ways.   He is greatly missed by his neighbours and especially by the members of his own family.  His death has left a vacant space in the Presbyterian congregation of Barney's River, and particularly in the Kirk session, which cannot easily be filled.  This is now the tenth member of the Kirk session at Barney's River that has been removed by death of late years.  The other members were Messrs. Daniel Anderson, James Henderson, Hugh Fraser, William Irving, Angus McKay, Hugh Ross, Alexander Robertson, Charles McLean and Hugh McDearmid, men eminent in the congregation for their piety, and now called to rest form their labors and to join the General Assembly and Church of the first born. - "Help Lord, for the godly man ceaseth; the faithful fail from among the children of men."
