  	The Harvest of Death Sad homes at Christmas - Four Funerals in Town in Three Days, and Others in Neighboring Townships A Double Bereavement - A Great-Great-Grandparent's Death While the remains of Mrs. Templeton, jr., were lying in the house on Friday morning (the two families both live under the same roof) were shocked when a member of the household made the solemn announcement that Mrs. James Templeton, sen., had also passed to her reward. The venerable lady quietly fell into the sleep from which there is no waking, and the members of the family for a time could scareely realize the fact that the grim messenger had again served his fatal summons in their dwelling. Extreme age and the excitement consequent on  her daughter-in-law's illness and demise are given as the cause of the old lady's death. The late Mrs. Templeton was born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, Dec. 29, 1904, and was within a few days of being 89 years of age when called away. Her maiden name was Agnes Lindsay. Mr. and mrs. Templeton were united in marriage in Scotland over seventy years ago, and during that unusually long period of wedded life were greatly attached to each other. They came to Canada in 1842, settling in Ramsay that same year, and they have lived continuously in Ramsay and Almonte ever since. Eight children were born to them, seven of whom survived, viz.: Mrs. James Gilmour, Mrs A.A. Gilmour, Mrs. Wm. Young and Jas. Templeton, of this town; Mrs. McKillop of Beachburg: Mrs D. Ledgerwood, of Arnprior; and Wm. Templeton, of Emerson, Manitoba. There are about 125 grandchildren and great grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild - the son of Mr. Wm. Young, of Perth. Deceased had always been in good health, and able to attend to her household duties up to the ever of her death. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, when a very large cortege followed the remains to their resting place in the eighth line cemetery. Among those who attended were many of the oldest settlers in the neighbourhood. The sympathy of all is with the patriarchal husband in the great loss which he has sustained, and which he feels most keenly. The Almonte Gazette Almonte, Ontario, Canada
