  	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.
