Obituary - Mrs John Gilmour
A week or two ago Mrs. John Gilmour, of the New England section, went to Ramsay on a visit to her daugher, Mrs. Allan Naismith, a while there she took ill with a bowel trouble that terminated fatally o Saturday. She had been in poor health for some time. Deceased, whose maiden name was Jane Lindsay, was 79 years of age, and spent 73 years of her life in this section, having come from Scotland with her father (the late James Lindsay) in 1821. She was highly esteemed by all who knew her for her womanly qualities. A devoted wife and mother, she will be greatly missed in the family circle. Two children, Mr. Allan Gilmour, Jr. and Mrs. Naismith, survive, with the husband to mourn for her, and these have the sympathy of a large circle of friends The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, to the eight line cemetery, when a very large number paid the last tribute to respect to one of the earliest settlers of these parts, but few of whom now remain.
