Within the past month death has removed a well known Canadian lumber dealer, in the person ot Mr. S. C. Kanady, who died in Toronto on Wednesday, June 8th. Deceased had suffered for years from bronchial affection, which it was thought would have proved fatal ere this, and it was only by careful nursing and the best of atten- tion that his life was prolonged. Mr. Kanady was a thorough lumberman, with an equal knowledge of both pine and hardwoods, obtained during a business career of nearly fifty years. He was associated and familiar with early lumbering operations in Ontario, when the trade was manifestly different from that of to- day. Of a life of sixty-two years, forty-four were spent in the handling of lumber, a calling which he chose when first launching into the commer- cial world. He had naturally a very wide ac- quaintance among lumbermen and throughout the Eastern States. The late Mr. Kanady was an American by birth, although most of his life was spent in Canada. He was born at Evans Mills, New York State, and when a child removed with his father to Ontario, settling at Vienna, in Elgin county. At the early age of eighteen years he eetablished himself as a lumber dealer, and in a very short time became quite an extensive ship- per, supplying large quantities of pine lumber to Easton & Co., ot Albany, After residing at Vienna for several years, he removed to Detroit, but still cotinued his Canadian business. Returning again to Ontario, Mr. Kanady located in Toronto, and formed a partnership with Messrs. A. R. Christie and Wm. Kerr under the firm name of S. C. Kanady & Co. This was about twenty-five years ago. For a number of years a very extensive and successful pine trade, both local and export, was done by this firm, and they were recognized as the leading wholesalers. Subseque
