?b?Obituary - The Late William Gilmour?/b?
With sincere regret we have this week to record the death of one of the oldest and most highly esteemed residents of this town, in the person of Mr. Wm. Gilmour.

The sad event took place at his home here last Thursday in the 69th year of his age, after an illness of about a week from pleurisy. Deceased was one of the best known men in the county and a generation ago was one of Ramsay's leading citizens. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, February 2nd, 1821, and when an infant of six weeks old his parents (the late Allan Gilmour and his wife) emigrated to Canada.

They settled the same year of the farm in Ramsay now owned and occupied by Mr. E. Tierney, and there the subject of this sketch lived continuously for over sixty-four years. He had an opportunity of experiencing the hardships incident to the early settlement of this county, as well as the pleasure of seeing the primeval forest make way for the prosperous towns, villages and farms that are now to be found throughout this section. When but twelve years of age he did his share in clearing the land and assisting his parents in the work of tilling the soil, whereby they secured a livelihood.

At that time education was almost out of the question. The school (!)* then in use was a small log building that stood on what is now our Bridge street, opposite Mr. Robertson's store; and the roads leading to it were paths through the bush - 'blazed roads', as they were called. Later on what was known as 'Gemmill's school was established, and there Mr. Gilmour received what little education he got. However, he made good use of his time at home, and in this way picked up knowledge that proved very useful to him in after life.

He filled the important office of collector of taxes for the township before Almonte was made a separate municipality; was for many years a constable, and from about the year of 1860 till his death he was the trusted agent of Major (now Lieut.-Col) Gemmill. He was also librarian of the Ramsay library and Mechanics' Institute for a good many years. He was thoroughly honourable in his dealings, and won an enviable reputation among his fellows.

In 1944 he married Ellen Burns, who survives him. Seven children were born to them, five of whom are living. viz.: Mrs Peter Naismith, Ramsay; Allan W. Gilmour, Braeside; Robert, of this town; William, of Ramsay; and James B., now in Dakota. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, to the eight line cemetery, and was very largely attened, old residents from all parts of the county being present to pay the last tribute of respect to their departed friend. The mourning widow and family have our sympathy in their bereavement.

At Braeside, February 18th, Ellen Gilmour, relict of the late Wm Gilmour, in her 80th year

1901, Friday February 22, The Almonte Gazette front page
Obit: ? The Late Mrs Wm. Gilmour
After about twelve months' illness from gradual wearing-out of the system Helen Burns, relict of the late William Gilmour, passed out of life on Monday afternoon last at the home of her eldest son, Mr Allan W. Gilmour, of Braeside. The remains were brought to this town on Tuesday afternoon, and the funeral took place from her late home in the New England section on Wednesday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery. There was a large attendance. Many old residents turned out to pay the final mark of respect to one who was so long identified with this section. Rev Mr Hutcheon officiated, deceased having been a long years a member of St Andrew's congregation. The late Mrs Gilmour was born in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, close on eighty years ago, and came with her parents (the late Mr and Mrs Robert Burns, of Bristol, Que.) to Canada in the year 1849. In 1844 she became the wife of Mr Wm Gilmour, who died ten years ago last August. They lived on the homestead farm in Ramsay till 1876, when they moved into Almonte, and the subject of this sketch resided there till December last, when she went to Braeside to stay with her son for the winter. Of seven children born to her five survive, viz.: Allan W., of Braeside; Mrs Peter Naismith, of Ramsay; Robert, of Almonte; William, of Ramsay; and James B., of Climax, Minnesota. For almost sixty years deceased was a highly respected resident of Ramsay and Almonte, and her death is deeply regretted.
