He was nine years of age when he came with his parents from Kilmarnock in Scotland. The funeral took place on Wednesday and was very largely attended. He was married twice, first in 1860 to Frances Greig, daughter of the late James Greig, of Ramsay. and secondly to Elizabeth Cramplin, daughter of the well known Dr Wilson, of Carleton Place. There are three children of his first wife. James, of Edmonton, Andrew, who is manager of the Sudbury News, and Fanny, who resides with her uncle, Mr Andrew Grieg. A brother and two sisters survive: William Templeton, of Emerson, Man.; Mrs Ledgerwood, of Arnprior; and Mrs A.A. Gilmour, of Ottawa, who with his eldest son's wife, help nurse him through his last illness. The late Mr Templeton was a Baptist in religion. His grandfather was for 21 years the Baptist minister of Kilmarnock in Scotland. His father was seven years a soldier in the famous Black Watch and held the rank of sergeant. He died in Almonte in 1900. When the family came to Canada in 1842 they arrived at Montreal after a two months' voyage from Scotland. From there they came by water up the Rideau to Smiths Falls and thence to Almonte. They had letters of introduction from friends in Scotland to the Wylie family. There were only six or eight houses built where Almonte now stands when the Templetons arrived, and they purchased part of lot 19, Con 8, of Ramsay, for which about $500 was paid to Mr Wylie, the owner. This was the family homestead for forty years and from it there grew a Canadian family of Templetons that now number over 200 members.
