A few years ago he let his farm, and settled at Gundary, still following agricultural pursuits. Deceased has left a widow, one son, who lives on the north coast, and two daughters. Both of the latter are married. Mr. Fife was very hard working, and was held in great respect by all who knew him for his integrity and good nature.
