DEATH OF MR JAMES GREIG ? Carleton Place had during the past week been called to mourn over the loss of two of her leading citizens. We chronicled last week the death of Mr A. McArthur, who was soon followed by Mr Jas Greig, father of Mr Thos Greig, barrister, of Carleton Place, and of Mr A.M. Greig, barrister, of Almonte. The deceased gentleman was born in Alloway, Clackmannshire, Scotland, in July, 1806, and removed from thence to Canada in 1830, and settled on a farm in Ramsay, where he continued until 1862. He then removed to Carleton Place, engaging in gristmilling and taking contracts, one of which was the building of the old lockup in this town. Mr Greig finally retired from business in 1868 to enjoy the competency he had earned for himself by industry and frugality. In 1832 he married Frances J. Mansell, who is still living, and by whom he had eleven children ? seven sons and four daughters ? all of whom are living with the exception of the eldest son, who died about seven years ago. In February last deceased had a apoplectic stroke, from which he never recovered, but was able to be about, although unable to speak. It was however, evident to others that he was gradually failing, and on Friday last he breathed his last, and was buried on Monday in the 8th line cemetery, Ramsay, followed to the grave by a large circle of friends. Mr Greig was a Conservative in politics, though the man generally weighted with him before party. In religion he was a member of the Presbyterian church, and his late pastor, the Rev Mr Scott, officiated at the funeral. The deceased leaves one sister, Mrs Reisland, of Springfield, Illinois, his widow, 10 children, 18 grandchildren & 1 great-grandchild. Carleton Place has suffered lately in the removal by death of vary many of her oldest inhabitants.

James married Josephine Frances Mansell in 1832. Josephine was born on 8 Nov 1811 in Paris, City of Paris, Ile-de-France, France; died on 24 Mar 1903 in Carleton Place, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The Late Mrs Jas Greig
The Gazette last week mentioned the death of Mrs Jas Greig of Carleton Place, which occurred on the 24th of March, and this week is enabled to give some interesting particulars regarding her life. She was born in Paris, France, in 1811. Her father, Mr Thos Mansell, was an English weaver, who went to France about 1801. Son thereafter war arose between England and France, and, with hundreds of other Englishmen, he was made a prisoner at Paris and could not escape. He married the widow of a French officer killed in war, and in 1811 their daughter, the late Mrs Grieg, was born. In 1819 Mr Mansell returned to England and Yorkshire, and here their only son, Mr A.T. Mansell, of Westmeath, now 82 years of age, was born. In 1820 the family came to Canada on the strength of reports sent back from relatives. For four years they lived near Brockville and then settled in Ramsay near Almonte. The father died fifty years ago. The mother some years later. The former was 90 years of age, the latter 75. Mr and Mrs Grieg were married in 1832. He was a native of Clarkmannshire, Scotland. They came to Carleton Place in 1863. for six years Mr Greig operated the grist mill. Then he retired altogether from business life and for many years the two enjoyed unbroken pleasures. The children living are Peter, James, Andrew, Mrs Jas Cram, Alfred, Mrs John Donaldson, Robert and Christena. The dead are John, Mrs Templeton and Thomas. All the children were present at dinner on the day of the funeral, Robert and James coming from far western States and Mrs Cram from Pilot Mound. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, interment being made in the family plot in the 8th line Ramsay cemetery, quite a number going from Almonte to join the cortege, some at Carleton Place and others as it neared the cemetery. Five sons and her son-in-law, Mr Donaldson, were the pall-bearers
