ADAM H. BRYCE
Stricken with a heart attack in his apartment at the Harrison Baths, Stephanie Street, where he had been superintendent for the past two years, Adam H. Bryce died yesterday morning. He was in his fiftieth year and was an veteran of the British Army of the last war. Born in Scotland, Mr. Bryce had been a resident of Toronto for sixteen years and was on the staff at the City Hall for eight years. Keenly interested in the welfare of the boys and girls in the Stephanie Street district, he organized the Canada Swimming Club for them. He served for four years in the last war with the Scottish Rifles with the rank of sergeant-major. He was a member of the Masonic Order and the Rani Ghar Grotto. Surviving are his widow, Ella Boddell Bryce, and two brothers and two sisters in Scotland.

Fujiwara Mitsunaga 藤原光長 è un nome tramandato da maestro ad allievo per diverse generazioni, quindi è quasi come un marchio. Questo nome fu in uso dal 1709 al 1862 (secondo il sito sottostante). Il motivo della malvarosa a tre foglie all'interno del bordo è uno stemma di famiglia, come forse già saprai.
Fujiwara Mitsunaga is a name handed down from master to student for several generations, and so it is almost like a brand name. This name was in use from 1709 to 1862 (according to the site below). The three-leaf hollyhock motif inside the border is a family crest, as you may already know.
