Died:
"DRUMMOND PIONEER DEAD. Walter McIlquham Died on Tuesday Aged 96 years. The news of the death of a truly pioneer resident of Drummond, Mr. Walter McIlquham, sr., was received in town on Tuesday night. Mr. McIlquham departed this life on Tuesday afternoon in the 96th year of his age. He had been ill a week, suffering from bronchitis. He was one whose life includes all the years of Lanark history, says the Era. Coming over from Scotland with his parents on the ship Commerce [sic - George Canning], he arrived to find Lanark the centre of a vast forest of pine. But to a boy of his years this was but adventure of the sort that appeals to the average British youth. Settling on a favored spot in Drummond Township there was much to be done clearing away those giant obstructions to farming - the pines. Fortune favored and Mr. McIlquham lived to see one of the best homesteads in the whole countryside identified as his own. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1810. When ten years of age he came to this country with his parents, they settling on the farm now occupied by his nephew, Mr. Walter S. McIlquham. Early in life he married Margaret Kerr and to them were born Peter J., now of Mountain Mill, Alta.; Walter, of Carleton Place; John K. and Maggie, of Drummond. His second wife was Elizabeth Rankin, by whom he had five sons and daughters - George, on the homestead; William, in Carleton Place; Mrs. John Neilson, Ramsay; Mrs. Henry Blair, Fitzroy, and Mrs. John Menzies, Carleton Place. The funeral took place to Lanark cemetery on Thursday afternoon at twp o'clock. Mr. McIlquham was a strong man municipally and politically and was well known in the community of Perth."
