  	1887, Friday July 1, The Almonte Gazette page 5 DEATHS At Appleton, June 25th, William Wilson, (father of Mr James Wilson, Almonte) aged 78 years. 1887, Friday July 1, The Almonte Gazette front page The Late Wm Wilson After a lengthened period of extreme mental and bodily suffering Mr William Wilson, of Appleton, found a happy release in death last Sunday evening. No man in Ramsay more thoroughly enjoyed the respect and esteem of his friends and neighbours, and the announcement of his death carried deep and sincere sorrow to many a heart. The late Mr Wilson was a native of Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He emigrated to this country with his father's family in 1828. Seven years later he cleared the land and built the house in which he has lived ever since. In the year 1836 he married Flora Lammie (who died about eight years ago), and had a family of two daughters and ten sons. Eight sons survive him, five of whom were with him in his last moments. For a number of years he had been an architect, and has left many monuments of his skill and handiwork. A man of more than ordinary intelligence, he had a well stocked library and well stored mind. He beautified his home, and planted with his own hands many trees, which are much admired by travellers passing his late residence. He was a member of the first council of the municipality of Ramsay for two years, but declined re-election. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church for fifty-two years, and an elder for the last fifteen. About three years ago he had an attack of effusion of blood on the brain, from which he never recovered, but gradually became feebler until his death. He long ago made his peace with God, and calmly awaited the time when he would be summoned home. For him death had no terrors, no sting. He had a firm abiding faith in his Saviour, and frequently during the last two years had besought God to take him to himself. "May our latter end be like his."
