Mr James Wilson Killed
Not only Appleton district but the surrounding community in a wide circle was appalled on Wednesday when the intelligence passed from one person to another, that James Wilson had been killed. How the accident happened is not known for certain, but it is supposed he was unhitching his team in the barn about noon and that one of the horses had kicked him, and when found one side of his head was crushed in. Mrs Wilson heard an unusual noise in the barn, and upon going out to ascertain the cause she found her husband unconscious, and in a short time he passed away. The late Mr Wilson was a son of the late Andrew Wilson, sr., and was about 56 years of age. He was married about 22 years ago to Miss Mary Snedden, daughter of the late James Snedden, and to them five children were born. Of these Christina is teaching at Rosetta, Maggie is bookkeeper in Mr J.A. McGregor's store at Appleton, Bryson and Janet are attending the high school at Carleton Place, and John, the youngest, is at home. Mrs Wilson is still living, as is also a sister of the deceased, Miss Mary Wilson, at Appleton. The late Mr Wilson was a man of a quiet and retiring disposition, but was highly respected by all who knew him ? those knowing him best holding him in highest esteem. He was a good neighbour, a staunch friend and a man of sterling probity and uprightness in all his dealings. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a staunch Liberal in politics. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from his late home to the Presbyterian cemetery on the eighth line of Ramsay. The sad occurrence has called forth sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the family and friends so sorely bereaved.

James married Mary Whyte Snedden in 1892. Mary (daughter of James Snedden and Christena Snedden) was born on 1 Apr 1861 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Dec 1930 in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mr Andrew Wilson's Demise
One of Lanark County's Stal-Men Passes Away After Months of Suffering Patiently Borne. After an illness of more than six months, Mr Andrew Wilson, sr., one of the most prominent men in the political and social life of Lanark county, passed away from a painful disease, gangrene. Mr Wilson was born in the parish of New Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the 20th of February, 1820. He migrated to this country with his father, Mr Jas Wilson, in 1825. His father settled on the farm on the 10th concession of Ramsay where the deceased resided until about twelve years ago when he moved to Appleton, where he has since lived, his son James, succeeding on the farm. They were preceded to this country by the deceased's two uncles, Messrs William and Robert Baird, in 1821. His father bought the farm on which he settled from the Canada company for eight shillings and nine pence per acre. His father died about fifty years ago being denied the pleasures of his labours when the hardships of pioneer life were passed. Mr Andrew Wilson over half-a-century ago married Margaret Bryson, sister of the late Robert Bryson and Mrs James Baird, of this town and of the late Hon George Bryson of Fort Coulonge. Mr and Mrs Wilson had the pleasure of celebrating their golden wedding about twelve years ago, but Mrs Wilson predeceased him about two years ago. To them were born four children, one of whom died in infancy. Maggie, the second eldest, who married Geo Newman, died about 21 years ago, Mary lives in their village home, to which the deceased retired about 12 years ago, and their only son, James, lives on the homestead. Mr Wilson was a man who took an active interest in the public affairs of the county. For more than twenty-five years he was a director of the N.L.A.S., was first vice-president for many years and served as president for a couple of years. He also held an honourable position in the municipal affairs of the county and township. He was township councillor for seven years and deputy reeve several times. He was reeve at the time when the reeves formed the county council. In 1890 he was census commissioner. In religion he was a Presbyterian, a member of St Andrew's church Appleton, and for many years, a manager and treasurer. In politics he was a Conservative and a great admirer of Sir John A. McDonald. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The pallbearers were Messrs R.W. Fumerton, Wm Paul, John Kirkwood, D. Dowling, Wm Garvin and John Stewart. Interment took place in the 8th line Ramsay cemetery. Mr Wilson was a stalwart gentleman of the old school, reared amidst the hardship of pioneer life. In day when characters were formed as strong as the hard ground from whence they drew their sustenance and more rugged than the lofty forest whose crashing fall betokened the advance of civilization. His actions all through life have been tempered with the straightforward honesty and justice of his father's time, which is unfortunately, rapidly becoming all too rare in our too greatly enlightened age. There passes away a man who will be greatly missed for he was greatly admired.

Andrew married Margaret Bryson in 1843. Margaret (daughter of James Bryson and Jean Cochrane) was born on 19 May 1821 in At Sea; died on 5 Nov 1901 in Appleton, Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

At Appleton, Nov 6th, Margaret Bryson, wife of Mr Andrew Wilson, sen., in her 81st year. Funeral on Friday at 1:30 p.m., to the Eighth Line Cemetery, Ramsay.

1901, Friday November 8, The Almonte Gazette front page
Mrs Andrew Wilson
The news of the death of Mrs Andrew Wilson, sen., of Appleton, will be learned with deep regret by many. Mrs Wilson had not enjoyed the most robust health for some time, and of late her condition was the cause of a good deal of anxiety to her friends. As the days passed it became evident that serious inroads were being made upon her vitality. Quietly and patiently she bore her illness until death brought her release on Wednesday last. The deceased was a daughter of the late James Bryson, and was born on board the ship on which her parents came to Canada in 1821. They settled on the 11th line of Ramsay, on the farm now owned by Mr John Neilson, where as Margaret Bryson, she lived until her marriage to Mr Wilson in 1843. Her home since then has been at Appleton ?until a few years ago on the farm owned by Mr Wilson adjoining the village, and of late years in the village. Of a family of four children two are still living ? James, on the farm, and Mary, who has been her mother's constant attendant during her declining years. Mrs Baird, of Almonte, is a sister of deceased, and the only surviving member of the family. Mrs Wilson was quiet and unassuming in her manner, but her uniformly kind disposition won for her many friends. She was a member of the Presbyterian church for many years, and her every day life was in full accord with the profession she made. The family and friends have the sympathy of the whole community in their bereavement. The funeral take place today (Friday) to the eighth line cemetery, Ramsay.

In Ramsay on the 4th inst, Mr James Snedden, aged 61 years

1882, Friday April 7, The Almonte Gazette, page 3
The Late Mr James Snedden
The chronicler of local events has at no time a sadder duty to perform than when called on to record the death of those well known to the generality of our readers, and who have to certain extent identified themselves with the history of the locality. No face was more familiar on our streets than that of the gentleman whose death it is our sad duty to record to day. Very few indeed of our readers in Almonte and the surrounding neighbourhood but can recall the good-humoured countenance of the man who was so well and favourably known at "Banker Snedden," but whose smile will be seen no more. The late Mr James Snedden was born on the 11th line of Beckwith in 1821. About fifty-five years ago the father of the deceased removed to Ramsay, settling at Rosebank, and building the grist mill there, afterwards going into the lumbering business, and dying at Quebec of cholera about 1834. At the time of his father's death James, who was the eldest son, was about fourteen years of age, and from that time he acted as a father to his brothers and sisters. The three brothers, James, William and John continued to work harmoniously together until the youngest was about thirty years of age, but although they were then working each for himself, the elder brother never lost his fatherly interest in their well being. Like his father, the deceased engaged in lumbering and speculation of other kinds, and was very fortunate in his pursuits, but the hard times in the lumber trade and a heavy expenditure he had been led into to improve the passage from his timber limits, caused him heavy losses. It must not, however, be supposed that he was straightened in his resources, as the widow and family are left well provided for. The deceased attended church at Rosebank on Sunday, as usual, and on Monday morning he harnessed his horse to come to Almonte, He went into the house to wash his hands and coming out of the wash-room he placed his hand on his head and exclaiming "Oh! My head!" fell to the floor in an apoploptic fit, and only rallied for a brief time in the evening, and died on Tuesday morning about six o'clock, in the 61st year of his age. The deceased was borne to the 8th line cemetery on Thursday afternoon, the funeral being attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbours who were unanimous in the opinion that a good and worthy neighbour has been called away. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

James married Christena Snedden in 1856. Christena (daughter of Alexander Snedden and Mary Whyte) was born in 1833 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 9 Nov 1883 in Bennies Corners, Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
