Died:
Baptized 18 Jul 1818 at Upper Creggan, Co. Armagh to Patrick Conlon and Bridget Rafferty

"Mr. James Conlon, Sr. There died at his residence in Glen Tay, Monday evening, one of the county's oldest inhabitants in the person of Mr. James Conlon, sr., aged 84 years. About two months ago deceased was stricken with paralysis which caused him to keep his bed until death released him. Mr. Conlon possessed as remarkable vitality, and was conscious to the last. About half an hour before he died, he called his son, Mr. James Conlon, jr., to his bedside but when the latter arrived the old gentleman's speech had deserted him. Deceased was a blacksmith by trade and was well and favorably known throughout the district. In politics he had ever been a staunch Reformer. Born in County Armagh, Ireland, deceased emigrated to this country when a youth and was a resident of Glen Tay for over 58 years. Shortly after settling in the Glen Tay district he married Margaret McCabe, who predeceased him two years ago from the same affliction. Besides Mr. James Conlon, jr., with whom deceased lived, there are two sons and six daughters: Richard, of Eganville; Michael, of Barry's Bay; Mrs. Peter Noonan, Mrs. Albert Towner and Mrs. Henry Miller, of Chicago; Mrs. John Burns, Drummond; Mrs. Foley, Bathurst and Mrs. Dixon, of Almonte. The funeral took place Wednesday to St. John's Church where services were conducted and thence to the Catholic cemetery for interment. The funeral cortege was followed by a large number of friends and acquaintances as a tribute of respect for an old inhabitant."
