  	aged 63 years 1888, Friday March 9,The Almonte Gazette, front page Obit. We regret to record the death of another good and highly esteemed resident of the town in the person of Marion Gray, wife of Mr John Crawford, who passed to her lone home on Monday afternoon last, after a short illness from inflammation of the lungs, aged 63 years. Although the deceased lady had suffered from the same disease on more than on occasion before, the final hour came somewhat suddenly at last, and carried sadness to the firesides on many warm friends of the aged couple. The late Mrs Crawford was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and came to live in Almonte after her marriage at Perth about 25 years ago. Here Mr Crawford started the first bakery in town, in the building on the west side of the river now used as a private residence by Mr Henry Forgie. After carrying on business for a few years on the West Side be built the bakehouse at present owned and occupied by Mr A. McLean, where, for several years, he conducted a very successful business, and some ten of twelve years ago retired on a competence. Mrs Crawford's death will be regretted by a large circle of friends, by whom she was held in the highest respect, her many sterling womanly qualities winning for her the friendship of all who knew her. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was a fitting tribute to the memory of one who had been a kind and loving wife, a good citizen and a true Christian.
