    ---------------------------------------
    Obituary - The Perth Courier - July 11,1930-
    Paul - In the passing of Mr. Andrew Paul, on the 22nd of June, Dalhousie lost a life-long citizen and the people of McDonald's Corners and Elphin a good neighbor and friend. Before many of his friends realized that he was sick, Mr. Paul had become so ill that it was thought best that he should be taken to hospital. On June 18th he was taken to the Kingston Hospital where an operation was performed without delay. At first, hope was cherished as to his recovery but on Saturday afternoon, June 21st, it was seen that his condition was becoming more critical and on Sunday morning at eleven o'clock the end came. His wife and son, who had accompanied him to the hospital, remained with him until he passed away. He was conscious to the last and expressed himself as being ready to go.

    Mr. Paul was born in Dalhousie near where he was living at the time of his death and on October of this year he would have been seventy-two years of age. For all he had reached his three score and ten, he did not seem old but went about his duties as a man of fewer years, and had such a cheerful spirit that one would not be reminded of his age. On December 14th 1881, he was married to Christina McLean and for nearly fifty years these two lived together in happy wedlock. Two sons were born to them - Robert who is at home, and John, a successful banker who lives in Rouleau, Sask. The latter reached home in time for the funeral which was held on the 25th at the home. The interment took place at Crawford's Cemetery. A large number of friends and acquaintances gathered to pay their tribute of respect. The services were conducted by the minister, Rev. K. McCaskill. The following acted as pallbearers : Walter Geddes, James Smith, James Paul, Robert Millar, Finlay McLean, and James G. McLean.

    The following sent flowers : Wreaths from the family and from the Women's Institute of McDonald's Corners; sprays from Mr. and Mrs. Finlay McLean, Hillyard and Hugh McLean; Mr. and Mrs. J. G. McLean and Marion, Women's Institute of Elphin, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Bland Shaw, Mrs. Mary Park, Rev. and Mrs. E. McCaskill, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Millar, Edna and Marjorie, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Geddes, William and Howard Fair. Mr. Paul was respected and loved, a man always ready to do a kindness, honest, industrious, a dispenser of hospitality and a faithful attendant and supporter of his church. He was a good husband, a kind father, and a helpful neighbor. He will be greatly missed in the home, in the church, and in the community. He is survived by one brother, George Paul of Snow Road, and three sisters, Mrs. John Kring and Mary Paul of this community and Mrs. Isaac Shanks of Playfairville. How eminently true it is regarding this dear friend that he is gone but not forgotten. In the garden of memory, there will long remain a cherished spot for Andrew Paul.

Christena (daughter of James McLean and Catharine "Kate" Gunn) was born on 22 Mar 1865 in Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 23 May 1947; was buried in Crawford Cemetery, Elphin, Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
