AN OLD PIONEER GONE
Andrew Malcolm, Who Read The Globe From Its Inception, Passed Away ? A Life-long Liberal.

On November 16 last an old settler was called away in the person of Andrew Malcolm of the Township of Flos. Mr. Malcolm's remains were interred at Elmvale on November 18, and a large number of relatives and friends attended the obsequies. The pass-bearers were deceased's sons, Archibald, John, William A., and Robert, Andrew Drysdale and W. K. Ritchie. The chief mourners were his four daughters, Mrs. John Drysdale, Mrs. Robert Kerr, Miss Catherine Malcolm and Miss Ann Malcolm, Mr. and Mrs. J. Stirling of Scarboro', and Mr. R. Malcolm of Toronto. Short and impressive services were held at the house and at the grave, Rev. James Rollins officiating, assisted by Rev. A. Miles.

Andrew Malcolm was born in Glasgow on February 19, 1821, and came to Canada in 1834, settling in Scarboro'. He saw service during the Mackenzie rebellion, and frequently related many interesting experiences of the campaign. In 1859 he removed to the Township of Flos, where by patient industry he succeeded in converting an unbroken forest into a good farm. In 1864 the first Presbyterian church was erected in the district, and a Sabbeth School was soon after established, of which he was appointed superintendent, an office which he filled faithfully for over 21 years. Mr. Malcolm was frequently urged to accept an appointment as Magistrate, but refused. Deceased was a staunch Reformer and a constant reader of The Globe from its earliest publication. He had 15 children, 32 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. His eldest brother, William, who was born on September 22, 1809, still survives and has lived as a member of the family for 55 years.
