| 1351 | 1894, Friday, July 13, The Almonte Gazette, Deaths, page 6, Stone 29 At the residence of her son-in-law Mr. Allan Naismith, Ramsay, July 7th, Jane Lindsay, wife of Mr. John Gilmour, Sen. (New England), aged 79 years. 1894, Friday July 13, The Almonte Gazette, front page, Stone 29 Obituary - Mrs John Gilmour A week or two ago Mrs. John Gilmour, of the New England section, went to Ramsay on a visit to her daugher, Mrs. Allan Naismith, a while there she took ill with a bowel trouble that terminated fatally o Saturday. She had been in poor health for some time. Deceased, whose maiden name was Jane Lindsay, was 79 years of age, and spent 73 years of her life in this section, having come from Scotland with her father (the late James Lindsay) in 1821. She was highly esteemed by all who knew her for her womanly qualities. A devoted wife and mother, she will be greatly missed in the family circle. Two children, Mr. Allan Gilmour, Jr. and Mrs. Naismith, survive, with the husband to mourn for her, and these have the sympathy of a large circle of friends The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, to the eight line cemetery, when a very large number paid the last tribute to respect to one of the earliest settlers of these parts, but few of whom now remain. | Lindsay, Jane (I9234)

| 1352 | 1895, Friday March 22, The Almonte Gazette, page 8 Very Sudden Death Last Monday Mr. John Lang, whose farm adjoins Almonte, was working about his home, in better health than usual, as he had been suffering for a time from rheumatism and a slight trouble of the heart, and when Mrs Lang went to bed at ten o'clock that night she left him reading beside the stove, as he intended removing the ashes before retiring. Mrs Lang awoke between two and three next morning, and finding that her husband was not abed, divined that something was wrong. Hurrying down, she found Mr. Lang in a kneeling position beside the stove ? dead! He had been fixing the stove and before his task was competed the hand to death was upon him. Heart disease was doubtless the cause. The news was a terrible shock to the household, and scarcely less so to many in town, who ha the pleasure of meeting Mr Lang here the previous Friday, about as genial as ever, though bearing traces of his sickness. Deceased was one of Ramsay's best known and most respected farmers, and his death is regretted by all who knew him. An upright, honourable citizen, a kind friend and neighbour, and a model in his domestic relationships, has gone to his rest, and leaves a home in the deepest sorrow; but the household does not sorrow as those who are without hope ? they have the blessed assurance that they well meet again under brighter skies. Sixty-five years ago Mr. Lang was born on the farm in which he died, his father being the late Arthur Lang, who came from Scotland to these parts in 1821, with the first settlers. Over forty years ago he married Jane Gilmour, daughter of the late James Gilmour, who was also one of the pioneer settlers. Of their children four survive, viz.: Henry and Alvina at home; Mrs Throop (Jessie), of Ottawa; Albert A., who is studying medicine at McGill College, Montreal. To add to the misfortunes of the family, Mrs Lang has been ill of late with pleurisy, and her son Albert is in an hospital at Montreal very seriously ill with typhoid. In their time of trouble Mrs Lang and family have the sincere sympathy of the whole community. Mr Lang was a charter member of Mississippi Lodge No 147 A.F. & A.M., Almonte, and the members of that lodge turned out in a body to attend the funeral which took place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery and was very largely attended. Rev A.S. Grant, B.D., pastor of St. Andrew's congregation (of which deceased was a member), was the officiating clergyman. | Lang, John (I39021)

Syme, wife of Mr Andrew Graham, aged 46 years 1897, Friday February 5, The Almonte Gazette front page Death has been busy in these parts of late. Another sad case is that of the death last Thursday, from Pneumonia after but a few days' illness of Mrs Andrew Graham, of the sixth line of Ramsay, at the early age of 46 years. Before marriage Mrs G. was known as Mary M. Syme. She was respected by all.

| 1355 | 1897, Friday May 21, The Almonte Gazette page 4 DEATHS In Ramsay, May 16th, Robert McLean, aged 82 years. 1897, Friday May 21, The Almonte Gazette page 8 DEATH'S HARVEST The Late Robert M'Lean Few of the settlers of Ramsay who came out in the twenties now remain to tell the interesting experiences of the pioneer days, and the thin ranks were made thinner this week by the death on Sunday last of Mr. Robert McLean, of the seventh line, after being abed for about a year, as the result of an attack of paralysis. Deceased was of a retiring disposition and never took an active part in municipal or political matters, yet those who knew him intimately speak in high terms of his sterling worth. He was born in Old Kilpatrick, near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1815, and was therefore 82 years of age. he came to Canada with his parents in 1821. His father, Lachlan McLean (who died in 1872, aged 93 years) located the present, McLean homestead. His mother died in 1865, aged 81 years so that the family is somewhat remarkable for longevity. The deceased married Mary Dunlop , of Ramsay township, 1844. A family of three sons and four daughters blessed their union, all of whom, with the widow, survive. The children are: Robert, of Dauphin, Manitoba; Lachlan, of Beckwith; Annie (Mrs Wesley Armstrong), Ottawa; Jeanie (Mrs Robt. Philip), Ramsay; Minnie (Mrs J.F. Templeton), Sudbury; and Malcolm and Christina on the homestead. Being one the first settlers, and having lived on the same farm for the last 76 years, the late Mr. McLean was well and favourably known, and his funeral was a splendid tribute to the worth of the hardy pioneers of this section, the cortege being one of the largest ever seen in the neighbourhood. The remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery. Mr Tracy, of Ottawa, conducted the funeral services, and referred in appropriate terms to the deceased. For eighty winters he felt the chilling blasts, And faced the winds and snows of time. Peace to his ashes! For fourscore years--utmost allotted span of mortal life- He served his generation, And came to his grave like a shock of corn, Fully ripe. | McLean, Robert (I61243)

| 1356 | 1898, Friday August 26, The Almonte Gazette, page 8 Miss Lang's Sudden Death Residents of this neighbourhood were shocked on Tuesday afternoon to learn of the death, in St Luke's Hospital, Ottawa, that day, of Margaret Alvina Lang, daughter of Mrs John Lang, Ramsay ? familiarly known as "Vinie." Deceased , who was 29 years old, was a pleasant-faced and pleasant-mannered lady, clever and popular, and the sudden ending of so useful a life has evoked the warmest expressions of sympathy with the doubly bereaved family, who have found of late years that misfortunes have come upon them in battalions. Miss Lang had been ill for some time, and latterly her trouble was diagnosed as an internal tumour. Two weeks ago she went to the hospital to have an operation performed for the removal of the tumour. Her brother, Dr Albert Lang, was with her last Monday ? the day selected for the operation. The physicians made an incision to carry out their plans, when it was discovered that her trouble was cancer, and of such a nature that it was sure to end her life in a short time. The doctors decided that a further operation was unnecessary. Miss Lang was made comfortable, and was progressing quite favourably until Tuesday forenoon, when she began to sink. That afternoon the relatives here received a message that she was sinking rapidly, followed by another fifteen minutes later announcing her death. The body was brought home by Wednesday's Soo train, and the funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, a very large number turning out to testify their respect for the deceased and to mark their sympathy with the sorrowing mother and her family, Rev R.J. Hutcheon, M.A., of whose congregation deceased was a member, officiated. Miss Lang was a member of Atthewell Lodge No 29, Daughters of Rebekah, Almonte, and the members of that order attended the funeral in abody and conducted their impressive burial service. | Lang, Margaret Alvina "Vinie" (I39024)

| 1357 | 1898, Friday December 23, The Almonte Gazette, page 8 A Runner Dropped Dead While going through the eighth line cemetery lately a GAZETTE scribe was struck by a verse on the tablet at the head of the grave of the late Robert Young, which reads as follows: "My sudden death proclaims aloud To you, my living friends, To be prepared to meet your God When He the summons sends." Inquiry as to the cause of the sudden death brought out the particulars, which are worth giving here. On New Year's Day, 1863, on the Mississippi river between Youngville and Rosebank, there was quite a gathering to witness the sorts, which consisted of trotting races on the ice, the trotters being hitched to buggies. In the afternoon a foot race was got up, the contestants being John Young (blacksmith, Almonte), John Toshack (son of the late James Toshack) and Robert Young (Brother of Messrs P.J. and Wm. Young, Ramsay). They were all young men ? two of them Young by name as well as young in years ? and, removing their boots, they ran in their sock-feet. Robert Young was ahead as he came to the winning line, and just before crossing the line he dropped on the ice ? dead! The late Dr. Mostyn, who happened to be in Rosebank at the time was quickly summoned, but the winner had passed beyond the reach of medical skill. The crowd got a great shock by the event, the sports were cancelled, and there was sadness in the community the balance of that New Year Day | Young, Robert (I6952)

| 1358 | 1898, Friday May 27, The Almonte Gazette front page The Late Miss Baird Last autumn Miss Jeanie Baird one of the well-known Baird sisters on the eighth line of Ramsay, accidentally fell and injured her leg, since which time she was unable to walk, and at her great age, 84, she declined by degrees till last Friday evening, when she paid the debt of nature. Deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada with her parents sixty-four years ago, settling the same year on the homestead in Ramsay on which she died, on which she spent all her life in Canada. In the early days the family was one of the most prominent and respected in the district, and the deceased lady was an intelligent, wellread person, with unusual powers as a musician, having been sent of Belfast, Ireland, to finish her musical training. Like all the rest of the family, she had quite a reputation for her knowledge of law. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended. Rev Mr. Mitchell officiated. The sister of deceased, Miss Bella Baird, was with deceased in the closing years of her life, and the latter had the attention of other kind and thoughtful relatives and friends. | Baird, Jean (I58899)

| 1359 | 1898, Friday October 28, The Almonte Gazette front page A Ramsay Pioneer Called Home ? Sketch of the Life of the Late Mrs James Toshack ? One of a Family of Remarkable Longevity ? Triple Drowning in Almonte Half-a-Century Ago. Almost every week we are called upon to perform the mournful task of chronicling the death of one or more of those brave men and women who first settled this county and patiently endured the hardships incident to a life in the forest, the fruits of whose toil and labour the present generation are enjoying. This week we have to add one more to the list in recording the death last Friday evening of Mrs James Toshack, of New England, at the age of almost 81 years. The deceased's maiden name was Agnes McLean. She was born in Port Kilpatrick, near Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1821 with her parents, the late Mr and Mrs Lachlan McLean. They settled on the farm on the 7th concession of Ramsay at present owned by Mr McLean's grandson, Mr Malcolm McLean. Mrs Toshack belonged to a long-lived race. Her father lived to the age of 94, and her mother, whose maiden name was Christina Campbell, died at age of 81. Her father's family consisted of four sons and three daughters, and only two of them died under 80 years of age. The eldest of the family was Mrs Dunlop, who died in 1895 at the age of 86; the second eldest was Alexander McLean, who died in Almonte about ten years ago at the age of 80; the third was the late Robert McLean, who died in 1896, at the age of 82, Then came the deceased, Mrs Toshack, who was within about two months of 81 at the time of her death. Next was the late Mr Archibald McLean, who died some years ago in the West [It was his son's death that was mentioned in last week's issues of The Gazette] The next was Mrs Hugh Metcalfe, of Ramsay, who was 75 years of age, the only member of the family still living. The youngest member of the family, Lachlan, met a tragical death by drowning in the river below Almonte over fifty years ago, when he was but 18 years old. The accident occurred on the river just opposite Burnside. Lachlan McLean and another young man named Brymner were on the north side of the river, and, noticing that Robert Wylie (a brother of Mr J.H. Wylie), who as only about four years of age, had broken through the ice on the river, the two young men started across the river to rescue him, but broke through the ice themselves. Mrs Wylie (mother of Mr Jas H. Wylie) notices the two struggling in the water and tried to save them with ropes and poles, all unconscious that her own boy was under the ice. All three perished, and the three bodies were taken from the same hole in the river, later on, by the late Mr Daniel Shipman. On January 18th, 1842, the late Mrs Toshack was married to Mr James Toshack, who predeceased her some years ago. After their marriage they lived on the farm on the 9th line, now owned by Mr George Graham, and remained continuously on it until about twenty-seven years ago, when they removed to Almonte. To them were born two sons ? John, the elder, and McGavin, the younger ? and three daughters ? Christina, wife of the late Mr Daniel McLean; Margaret, wife of the late Mr John Sinclair; and Agnes, the youngest of the family. To the deceased fell the rare but melancholy lot of having to nurse through long sickness and to bury her husband and all her family. Her patience and cheerfulness under all her sorrows commanded the wonder and admiration of all who knew her. Naturally of a kind and gentle nature, she rarely, if ever, had an enemy, for she was never known to speak ill of any one, but always ready to find some excuse for the apparent or real wrongdoing of others. She was passionately devoted to her children and grandchildren, and she was well repaid in her last illness by the kind and loving attention given to her by her grandchildren, Mr John and Miss Marion McLean, who lived with her for many years. They feel her death very keenly, as, their own mother dying when they were very young, she had been a real mother to them ever since. To them and to their elder brother, James, who is farming in the North-West, we join the community in tendering our deepest sympathy in their affliction. The funeral, which was a large one, took place on Sunday at 1:30, and was attended by many of the deceased's old neighbours in Ramsay. It was conducted by Rev Mr Mitchell, of whose congregation the deceased was a consistent member. The remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery. | McLean, Agnes (I61245)

| 1360 | 1899, Friday May 26, The Almonte Gazette page 8 Mr James Black Although the news of the accident from which Mr James Black suffered a couple of weeks ago had become pretty well known, and it was generally thought that owing to his great age the result would likely prove fatal, yet the announcement of his death came as a shock to his many friends and was received with feelings of sadness and a sense of loss. On Wednesday of last week Mr Black arose from his bed and went out and took a look around the house as though he felt it would be for the last time. On Friday afternoon he became unconscious, in which condition he remained until he quietly and calmly breathed his last shortly after three o'clock on Sunday morning. The late Mr Black was born in Glasgow in 1817, and when four years of age his father came to Canada and settled in the township of Ramsay on lot 21 on the 7th concession, on which farm he continued to reside until his death. After the death of his father James took his place, and remained on the same farm until about two years ago, when he went to live with his son Robert on the farm owned by the late Daniel Galbraith on the 5th line of Ramsay. Among those who came to Canada at the same time as Mr Black were Mr and Mrs James Johnston, and to them a daughter was born when on the way up the St Lawrence, who afterward became the wife of Mr James Black. To them were born eleven children, five of whom are still living. They are: Walter (7th line Ramsay), Margaret (Mrs A.W. Gilmour), Braeside), Wm H. (Almonte), Agnes (Mrs A.A. Steele), Ramsay), and Robert J. (with whom the father and mother have been living). Those dead are James, Ellen Gunnan, Charles H., Gilbert J., Jessie and Nellie. Mr Black was always an enterprising and progressive man, and took a keen interest in matters pertaining to the welfare of the township in which he lived. For eleven years he sat at the council ? ten years of that time as deputy-reeve ? and by his intelligence and good judgement aided materially in transacting the business of the township. He also took a lively interest in the North Lanark Agricultural Society, and was for many years an active member of the board of directors. In politics he was a Liberal, who always stood for what he conscientiously believed to be best. He was for many years a member of St Andrew's (Presbyterian) church, Almonte, and until increasing years and failing strength prevented was a regular attendant at the ordinances of that church. Mrs Black, who is in her 79th year, together with other relatives and friends (among whom is William, a brother of the late Mr Black, who is over 80 years of age), have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, was very largely attended, notwithstanding that many mutual friends were in attendance at the funeral of the late John McArton, which took place at the same time.

| 1364 | 1900, Friday January 12, The Almonte Gazette page 4 DEATHS At Almonte, Jan 10th, Alexander White, aged 59 years. Funeral Friday 12th inst., at 2 p.m., to the Eighth Line Cemetery. 1900, Friday January 12, The Almonte Gazette front page Sudden Death Mr Alexander White, who for some time past had been cook in a shanty beyond Sudbury, arrived home here on Tuesday last by train. Mr M. Dixon, noticing his somewhat peculiar actions while at the station, asked him in a joking manner if he was lost. He replied that he was not, but he was very sick. Mr D. at once had him driven home, where he was given every attention, medical aid being summoned, but during the night his heart gave out rather suddenly and he passed away. He was delirious after arrival here, and the doctors could not make out from his remarks whether he had been ill three weeks or six weeks. He had pneumonia. Mr White was 59 years of age, and leaves a widow and a large family. The funeral takes place on Friday afternoon. | Whyte, Alexander (I57570)

| 1365 | 1900, Friday June 15, The Almonte Gazette page 4 DEATHS At Almonte, June 12th, Robert Bryson, aged 83 years. 1900, Friday June 15, The Almonte Gazette front page The late Robert Bryson Almonte lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens on Tuesday evening by the death of Mr Robert Bryson, of Union street, eight weeks after he was stricken with the illness that carried him away. It was of a dropsical nature, though the infirmities of age combined to make his recovery impossible. The late Mr Bryson was born in Paisley, Scotland, eighty-three years ago, and came to Canada with his parents (the late Mr and Mrs James Bryson) in 1821. Mr B. being a child of four years. They settled the same year on the old Bryson homestead in Ramsay ? the farm now occupied by Mr John Neilson ? and that was the home of Mr Bryson from that time until the year 1873, when, having amassed a competence, Mr and Mrs Bryson moved into Almonte, and have lived here ever since; so that Mr Bryson was a continuous resident of this neighbourhood for almost eighty years, witnessing and doing his share in the transformation of the primigenious forest into the present prosperous and well-tilled farms and happy homes of this district. In the forties and fifties deceased was engaged with his brother (the late Hon. Geo Bryson, of Fort Coulonge) in the lumbering operations in this section, in which he was highly successful. In 1846 he was united in marriage with Janet Carswell, who survives him, and who during his illness was devotion itself. After fifty-four years of happy married life it is needless to say that Mrs Bryson feels her loss most keenly. They have no family. The late Mr Bryson was a Presbyterian in religion and a Liberal in politics. He was of a genial turn, though quiet in disposition, and was a warm-hearted friend and a good neighbour. Like most of the pioneers, he delighted in recalling the early days, and was never tired talking over incidents that occurred in this section before the advent of the telegraph line or the railway, and when newspaper were not in demand as they are today ? the "good old days," when there was less of the hurry and bustle and more time for social intercourse than there is to-day. For years past he was largely a prisoner at home for physical reasons. A good citizen, his death is regretted by all who knew him. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended. Rev Mr Mitchell conducted the services. Among those who came from a distance to attend the funeral were Hon Geo Bryson, Geo Bryson, jun., Mrs Bryson and Mrs Boulter, of Fort Coulonge; Senator Templeman and Mrs Templeman, from Ottawa; Mrs Geo Carswell and sons, of Calumet Island; and Mrs Jas Carswell, of Bryson. | Bryson, Robert (I58958)

Deceased whose maiden name was Jane Simpson, was united in marriage with Mr Paul about fortyfive years ago, and during that long period won an honourable reputation as wife, mother, neighbour and friend. She was of a quiet and retiring nature, greatly devoted to her home. She had long been a member of St. John's congregation, Almonte, and in the closing hours was sustained by an unfaltering trust, regarding Death as but A kind and gentle servant who unlocks With noiseless hand Life's flower-encircled door To show us those we love. The funeral was from the homestead on Sunday afternoon. Interment taking place in the eighth line cemetery. There was a very large turnout of neighbours and friends. Rev Mr Mitchell officiated. The aged husband and four children survive ? Mrs John Millions, of Hernfield, Manitoba; Miss Maggie and Aggie, at home, and Mr Wm. Paul, jun. Mrs Millions and two of her children arrived from the west the day of her mother's death, but too late to see her in life. The mourning ones have the warm sympathy of their many friends.

| 1367 | 1900, Wednesday August 3, The Almonte Gazette page 8 Miss Isabella Baird One of the best-known women in this section was Miss Isabella Baird, only surviving sister of the late Messrs. John and William Baird, who were factory-owners here for many years. Since the death of her sister Jeanie (who lived with her on the farm on the eighth line of Ramsay) Miss Baird resided alone in the old homestead. Mr. David Moir and family and some of the nearer neighbours looking to her interests. Last Thursday Dr. Burns called on Miss Baird, and found her in her customary health. On Saturday evening Mrs John Snedden called and found the doors locked. next morning, getting uneasy, Mrs Snedden had her son and his wife go over; They did so, and on entering the house found Miss Baird lying in bed unconscious. Medical help was summoned and all that could be done for her was done but on Monday evening she succumbed, never having regained consciousness from the time she took a paralytic stroke, with is supposed to have been while in bed during Friday night. Deceased was a remarkable women for her wide knowledge on many subjects, and particularly for her skill in discussing points of law. She was the last survivor of the family. With her demise the name is blotted out. Miss Baird was born in Glasgow, Scotland, seventy-five years ago, and came to Canada with her parents sixty-six years ago, settling the same year on the farm on which she died. In the early years the Baird family was one of the most prominent in the district, noted for their intelligence, as well as for some eccentric characteristics. Deceased made a will leaving her effects to Mr. Gilbert Allan, of Ottawa. It is said that stored away in the residence safe some family heirlooms and other goods that bear evidence of the refinement and taste that characterized the Baird family in their younger days. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery. Rev Mr. Hutcheon officiated. | Baird, Isabella (I58897)

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. | Bryson, Margaret (I58847)

| 1377 | 1902, Friday December 12, The Almonte Gazette front page Mr Wm Snedden The rider of the white horse has been busy among the older people in this section of late, the last one to answer the summons being Mr Wm Snedden of town, For a number of years his health was poor, but for the past year or two he was much better and was able to move around town with a good deal of comfort. A short time ago, however, he was taken ill and owing to his advanced age and decreased vitality he was unable to withstand the inroads of the disease, and on Tuesday he passed away. He was a son of the late David Snedden and was born on the farm upon which his brother, Mr John Snedden, lives near Bennie's Corners. When he grew to manhood he bought the farm on the ninth line upon which Mr John Cumming lives, and which he sold to Mr Cumming's father when he removed to town over thirty years ago. He married Miss McRostie, of Carleton Place, and to them a family of five children were born ? two sons, David, of Minneapolis, and John, of Arnprior, and three daughters, Jessie, who died several years ago; Kate (Mrs E.T. Wilkie), who is also died and Agnes at home. David has been laid up for dome time with rheumatism and was unable to come home for the funeral, which took place this (Thursday) afternoon and was largely attended. Mrs Snedden survives her husband. She has been in delicate health, having suffered from asthma for years, and her condition at present is a source of anxiety to her friends. To Mrs Snedden, Miss Snedden and the two sons the sympathy of the community is extended in their bereavement. Mrs M. McFarlane, Mrs Gilbert Moir, Mrs John Cram (Manitoba), and Messrs James and John Snedden, all of whom are dead excepting John, were sisters and brothers of the deceased. | Snedden, William (I32862)

| 1378 | 1902, Friday January 10,The Almonte Gazette, page 4 DEATHS At Almonte, on January 1st, Kate Snedden, beloved wife of Edward T. Wilkie, C.E., of Carleton Place, age 39 years. 1902, Friday January 3, The Almonte Gazette, front page Death's Reaping The New Year rung in sorrow instead of joy into the home of Mr and Mrs W. Snedden, of Church street, early Wednesday morning when their daughter, Mrs E.T. Wilkie, of Carleton Place, who was visiting her old home, died suddenly. Mrs Wilkie had come to spend Christmas with her parents. Feeling unwell she decided to remain in Almonte under medical treatment. She apparently regained her wonted health but on Monday her condition became so serious that her husband, who was employed on engineering work at White Lake, was sent for, and he reached her of Tuesday evening's train. The illness became so serious that an Ottawa doctor was telegraphed for to assist in performing an operation. He was expected up on the Soo train Tuesday night, but at 12:24 before the train arrived, Mrs Wilkie has died. The cause of death was shock from internal hemorrhage. The deceased lady was formerly Miss Katie Snedden, and was exceptionally popular. Her death cast a shadow over the brightness of the New Year to many friends who knew and loved her well. She leaves a husband and child to mourn her loss. It is needless to say that they as well as the parents and friends have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon to the eighth line cemetery. | Snedden, Kate (I32861)

| 1381 | 1903, Friday March 13, The Almonte Gazette front page Miss Maggie Paul After suffering for several months from a lung trouble, Miss Maggie J. Paul, daughter of Mr Wm Paul, of Ramsay, was called upon on Friday of last week to test the realities of the life beyond the grave. The deceased was of a very quiet and retiring disposition, unostentatious in all that she did, but ever faithful in the discharge of her duties. She was an earnest and consistent follower of the Savoir, whom she loved, and died as she lived -- in the full hope of a blessed resurrection. The funeral on Monday was an unusually large one, many friends following the remains to the place of interment in the eighth line cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev A.M. Currie, assisted by Rev A.E. Mitchell of Ottawa, who came up to attend the funeral. The sympathy of the community goes out to the father and other members of the family in their bereavement, and is increased because of the illness of the aged parent who was unable to leave his room on the day of the funeral.

| 1382 | 1904, Friday December 30, The Almonte Gazette page 4 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. | Wilson, Andrew (I33086)

| 1383 | 1904, Friday January 29, The Almonte Gazette page 4 DEATHS In Ramsay, Jan 25th, William Toshack, aged 62 years. 1904, Friday January 29, The Almonte Gazette page 8 Mr Wm. Toshack Though it was known for a week or so that Mr Wm Toshack at Bennie's Corners was ill of appendicitis the reports regarding his condition were so encouraging that no one anticipated serious results and when the news of his death on Monday went out it was a shock to the community. The disease was well under control and on Sunday Mr Toshack was bright and cheerful and was much stronger than on the proceeding days. On Monday when the doctor made his visit, he found him somewhat weaker, the strain of the disease having affected the action of the heart, but not to such an extant as to cause alarm. About an hour later however Mr Toshack's condition became more serious and almost before those present could realize it his life had gone quietly out, only a light tremor of the chin marking the time when the heart ceased to beat. Mr Wm Toshack was a son of the late Andrew Toshack and was 62 years of age. He was of a quiet and retiring disposition and was of unquestioned integrity and uprightness. He did not take much to do with matters of a public nature, but was for a number of years an elder of St. John's church, a position also held by his father until his death. In the work pertaining to this office he took a deep interest. Mrs Toshack and three children ? Charles, of Midland; and Andrew; and Effie, at home ? with four sisters ? Mrs A. E. Young, Toronto; Mrs D. Ward, Arnprior, and Mrs J.W. Philip, Carman, Man. ? are the nearest relatives left to mourn the sudden loss. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery , and notwithstanding the extreme cold and bad roads was very largely attended ? an evidence of the esteem in which the deceased was held. A number of the members of the A.O.U.W. lodge attended in a body to show their respect for a deceased brother. | Toshack, William A. (I43264)

| 1391 | 1908, Friday May 29, The Almonte Gazette front page Mrs John Stewart By the death of Margaret Morrison, wife of Mr John Stewart of Ramsay, there has been removed one of that township's most estimable residents. Mrs Stewart passes away on Wednesday of this week, after having been ill for some time, her sickness taking the form of a general breakdown of the system. She was born in Pakenham township, being a daughter of the late Charles Morrison, and had been married for 47 years.

| 1392 | 1909, Friday September 24, The Almonte Gazette front page Mrs Robt McLean The death took place at the old homestead on Sunday morning of Mrs Robt McLean, one of the oldest and most respected residents of Ramsay. The deceased had been in her usual good health until last Saturday morning when she became confined to her room and from then she gradually sank until the end came peacefully at two o'clock on Sabbath morning. The late Mrs McLean was a daughter of John Dunlop, of the 6th line Ramsay. She was born at the homestead April 4th, 1823, consequently she had lived nearly eighty-seven years in the same neighbourhood. She married Robt McLean in 1843 and since then for a period of sixty-six years she has lived on the old McLean farm. Her husband predeceased her in 1897, at the age of 82 years. Her family consists of three sons and four daughters ? Lachlan in Beckwith, Robert D. of Winnipeg, Malcolm of Wainwright, Alta, Mrs Robt Philip of Bennie's Corners, Christina at home, Mrs Armstrong of Winnipeg, Mrs Templeman of Sudbury. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday afternoon, was largely attended, particularly by the old residents. Services were conducted by Mr J.B. Dunlop, an intimate personal friend of the deceased. Mr Dunlop spoke feelingly of the Christian life led by the dead, using the 14th chapter of Revelation, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord," as the basis of his remarks. He pointed our the many excellent characteristics shown throughout the life of the deceased as a true friend, a good neighbour, as a humble follower of Christ and as a perfect example of a peaceful death, the fulfilment of a well rounded out, honourable life work. The demise, in the fullness of time, of the late Mrs McLean marks the removal of another of the few remaining old settlers in the township, but with almost fourscore years and ten to her credit she was fully prepared and perhaps eager to enter into that great rest which she had so fully earned. | Dunlop, Mary (I61244)

| 1398 | 1911, Friday February 24, The Almonte Gazette page 4 The Grim Reaper's Harvest Mr John Stewart Another of Ramsay's old residents has been called upon to part from the things of earth and enter upon the life beyond in the person of Mr John Stewart, who lived near Blakeney on the tenth line. He was taken ill with pneumonia early in January, and never recovered from the disease, the end coming almost at the midnight hour of Wednesday. The late Mr Stewart, who was 81 years of age, was born in Lanark township, but had spent nearly seventy years in Ramsay. About fifty years ago he was married to Margaret Morrison, who died on the 27th May, 1908. Of the family born to them there survive five sons and three daughters, namely, Robert, at home; William, in Kinburn; Charles and George, at Viscount, Sask; Archie E., at the Canadian Soo; Mrs George Murphy and Mrs John Arthur, at Blakeney, and Miss Katie at home. One brother, Mr Robert Stewart of Blakeney, and one sister, Mrs Jamieson Stewart of Bristol Corners, also survive. The funeral take place on Saturday afternoon, leaving the home at half-past one o'clock. The late Mr Stewart was a man of quiet, retiring disposition, and found in his home all that was required to fill the requirements of his unassuming life, and he was a good neighbour, ready to help another when the occasion arose. In that home the sunset of his life has been quietly spent, the members of his family relieving him the responsibilities as advancing years caused them to weigh upon him. | Stewart, John (I43452)

| 1399 | 1911, Friday January 20, The Almonte Gazette page 4 Mrs Dr McGregor The death occurred on Friday morning last of Mrs (Dr) P.C. McGregor, after some months of suffering, so very severe at times that, though borne with the same fortitude and patience with which all the painful and discouraging experiences in life were met, the sufferer was wont to long for the release that meant to her, simply, the entry from this life, to the higher life beyond. For some time her health had been declining, and a few months ago a specialist was called, who gave no hope of recovery and only a few months of life. The verdict was received by her with quiet calmness, and she set about preparing for the inevitable with as much composure as if only going on a pleasurably anticipated journey, and this spirit sustained her throughout her suffering and until the end came. The deceased, Kate Ferguson McNabb, was the only daughter of the late John McNabb, who came from Rossshire, in Scotland, and settled near Ashton, where she was born. Her mother was Ann Kennedy, one of a numerous family, many of whom are still living though widely scattered. For some time she taught music at Carp and Bristol, and was afterwards governess in the family of Rev Alex McLaren, who was afterwards a resident of Almonte. Later Miss McNabb came to Almonte, also as governess to the late S.J. Robertson, where she remained until her marriage to Mr P.C. McGregor on Christmas Day in 1879.To them three children were born, two daughters, Misses Annie K., and Grace C., and John Howard McNabb, whose sad death by drowning a few years ago is still fresh in the memory of many. Mrs McGregor only brother, Mr John R. McNabb, is living at Kamloops, but in a very precarious condition of health. The late Mrs McGregor was possessed of unusual ability, and with a store of energy and perseverance which enabled her to overcome difficulties and discouragements under which others would have given way. These characteristics added to her usefulness, and gave to her a high place in all the activities of social and religious character with which she identified herself. In church and hospital and philanthropic work she was always deeply interested, and actively engaged, and in whatever object her sympathies were enlisted she gave to it the best of her energies, not counting personal sacrifices too great if good could thereby be attained. She was a consistent member of St John's church, and was closely identified with many of the organizations connected therewith, the W.F.M.S., perhaps, appealing most strongly to her. In all these and in many other ways she will be missed. The funeral took place on Monday to the eighth line cemetery, where the remains were placed in the vault. The services were conducted by Rev Messrs Young of Pakenham, Bennet, Daly and Miller of Almonte. The pallbearers were Messrs Wm Thoburn, M.P., A.M. Greig, W. West, Robert Young, Adam Scott and Jas McLeod. The attendance at the funeral was large, and among those from a distance were Mr J.A. Houston, Toronto; Messrs H. Mather, J. McIntosh, H. McMillan, John Kennedy, A.K. McLean, Mrs Wm McIntosh and Miss Oliver from Ottawa; Messrs J. McNabb and S. Moffatt from Renfrew; James C. McGregor, Balderson, and Mr and Mrs McLaren, Drummond Centre. If anything were needed to emphasize the depth of sorrow and the sympathy felt for Dr McGregor and his family it was abundantly shown by the number and beauty of the floral offerings, but above all by the messages of condolence and sympathy which came from far and near, sincere in the earnest desire that comfort and consolation many be theirs in their bereavement. | McNabb, Catherine Ferguson "Kate" (I45114)

| 1400 | 1911, Friday June 23, The Almonte Gazette page 4 DEATHS In Ramsay, June 17th, William Paul, aged 86 years. 1911, Friday June 23, The Almonte Gazette page 4 The Late William Paul Ninety years ago William Paul and his wife were among the pioneers who set sail from Scotland for Canada, their object being to carve out homes for themselves in the new country. Three months or so later found them with the first settlers of this section encamped on the banks of the Mississippi near where Almonte's town hall now stands. from that point the stout-hearted immigrants scattered to all points of the compass. Mr Paul and his wife located on the 7th line of Ramsay, where they lived to a good age, and passed away after doing their full share towards converting the country from primeval forest to the present prosperous and comfortable farms lands which distinguish this county. Ten children were born to them, and in course of time the farm passed into the hands of their eldest son, William Paul the Second. The latter was born on the pioneer farm in November 1824, lived on it for over eighty-six years, and in his turn ended his days there on Saturday last, after a short illness due simply to the wearing out of the system from age. Now William Paul the Third hold sway over the same farm, which has thus remained with the family into the third generation, all the owners bearing the same honoured name. The late William Paul was a modest but industrious farmer, who won general esteem by his fine qualities as a neighbour, and his influence could be depended upon to help along the cause he believed to be a worthy one. He never sought or held public office; his domestic life was worthy of praise; and his faith in God was strong and unshaken to the end. He was one of the oldest members of St John's Presbyterian congregation, and the funeral service was conducted by Rev C.H. Daly, pastor of that church. Interment was made on Tuesday in the 8th line cemetery. The cortege was notable for its length and the large turnout of the older citizens of town and country.
