The cortege at Ferndale was a large one. The Rev. Harris, pastor of North Street (E.C.) Church, officiated. Wreaths were sent by the staff of the Secondary Schools, and several of the classes. The girl scholars were lined en route to the station. Mr. Riley came to Ferndale eight years ago from Manchester, and during that period had en (Tea red himself with the people and had niadje a great number of friends. He was one who resented all kinds of outward show and pomp. Though showing at times some. brusqueness of manner, beneath all them laid a generous spirit of kindly feeling. He leaves a wife and a young son to mourn his loss.
