"Thompson. In the demise of Mrs. William J. Thompson which took place on Saturday at the residence of her son Carr Thompson, 7th concession of Drummond, there is lost to this vicinity another pioneer. Deceased's maiden name was Margaret Frost, born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1807, the daughter of John Frost who was baillie of Aberdeen. When but 10 years of age she came to this district in company of her mother and half-brother, James McKay who started the first forge in Perth. In 1824 she married the late W. J. Thompson, who emigrated from Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1813. The latter's father's house was the third house erected in Perth, the Government store being first, and Mr. DeLisle's the second. Mr. Thompson was a shoemaker by trade and worked his calling until 1837, when he moved his family to the homestead on the Scotch Line. He farmed until the year of his death 1884, when the subject of this obituary went to reside with her son Carr in Drummond. Mrs. Thompson had always enjoyed excellent health, but for some time was seen to be failing. Her death is attributed to a breaking-up of the system, she being in her ninety-fifth year. Out of a family of thirteen, there are ten living. They are, Samuel of Scotch Line; W. G., of South Sherbrooke; James of Ottawa; Nicholas, of Washago; John and David, of Bracebridge; Carr, of Drummond Township; Joseph, of Carleton Place; Mrs. Currie, of Almonte, and Mrs. Cameron, of North Bay. The funeral took place on Monday from the residence of her son, Carr, to the Methodist Cemetery, the Rev. G. C. Rock officiating."
