The deceased gentleman, who was in his 80th year, was born at Leith, N. B., and came to Southampton 56 years ago. He was for a time engaged with Messrs. Summers and Day, but he afterwards acquired the engineering business of Mr. Hodgkinson, carried on at Crosshouse, which he controlled for a very long period, being associated in the business with his eldest son. He retired into private life a few years ago. He was one of the oldest members of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Southampton, which he joined on coming to the town, at which time the services were held in the Victoria Rooms'[3]
