Death's Reaping
The New Year rung in sorrow instead of joy into the home of Mr and Mrs W. Snedden, of Church street, early Wednesday morning when their daughter, Mrs E.T. Wilkie, of Carleton Place, who was visiting her old home, died suddenly. Mrs Wilkie had come to spend Christmas with her parents. Feeling unwell she decided to remain in Almonte under medical treatment. She apparently regained her wonted health but on Monday her condition became so serious that her husband, who was employed on engineering work at White Lake, was sent for, and he reached her of Tuesday evening's train. The illness became so serious that an Ottawa doctor was telegraphed for to assist in performing an operation. He was expected up on the Soo train Tuesday night, but at 12:24 before the train arrived, Mrs Wilkie has died. The cause of death was shock from internal hemorrhage. The deceased lady was formerly Miss Katie Snedden, and was exceptionally popular. Her death cast a shadow over the brightness of the New Year to many friends who knew and loved her well. She leaves a husband and child to mourn her loss. It is needless to say that they as well as the parents and friends have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon to the eighth line cemetery.

Kate married Edward Thomson Wilkie on 4 Jan 1899 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Edward (son of William Wilson Wallace Wilkie and Eliza Bell) was born on 9 Dec 1858 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 1 Jul 1939 in Toronto (York), Toronto Municipality, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Park Lawn Cemetery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Mr Wm Snedden
The rider of the white horse has been busy among the older people in this section of late, the last one to answer the summons being Mr Wm Snedden of town, For a number of years his health was poor, but for the past year or two he was much better and was able to move around town with a good deal of comfort. A short time ago, however, he was taken ill and owing to his advanced age and decreased vitality he was unable to withstand the inroads of the disease, and on Tuesday he passed away. He was a son of the late David Snedden and was born on the farm upon which his brother, Mr John Snedden, lives near Bennie's Corners. When he grew to manhood he bought the farm on the ninth line upon which Mr John Cumming lives, and which he sold to Mr Cumming's father when he removed to town over thirty years ago. He married Miss McRostie, of Carleton Place, and to them a family of five children were born ? two sons, David, of Minneapolis, and John, of Arnprior, and three daughters, Jessie, who died several years ago; Kate (Mrs E.T. Wilkie), who is also died and Agnes at home. David has been laid up for dome time with rheumatism and was unable to come home for the funeral, which took place this (Thursday) afternoon and was largely attended. Mrs Snedden survives her husband. She has been in delicate health, having suffered from asthma for years, and her condition at present is a source of anxiety to her friends. To Mrs Snedden, Miss Snedden and the two sons the sympathy of the community is extended in their bereavement. Mrs M. McFarlane, Mrs Gilbert Moir, Mrs John Cram (Manitoba), and Messrs James and John Snedden, all of whom are dead excepting John, were sisters and brothers of the deceased.

William married Janet "Jessie" McCrostie. Janet was born on 25 Sep 1833 in Carleton Place, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 5 Jul 1912 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
