Mrs. John Bell -
As we go to press we learn of the death of Mrs. John Bell, High Street. The deceased lady was born in Scotland, and came to this country with the early settlers. Her husband died many years ago. For thirty years or more she has been an invalid and for nearly twenty years has not been able to leave her bed. Her maiden name was Margaret Wilson and she was a sister of Mr. A. Wilson Sr., of Appleton. She was probably the oldest living female citizen of Carleton Place and her death removes another of the old landmarks. Mr A.W. Bell, our well known townsman, is a son, and another son, Mr. George Bell, is in the civil service at Ottawa. Miss Mary Bell, who has been a companion for her mother all her life, is the only daughter residing here. The interment will be made in the family burial plot at Perth.
Carleton Place Herald, Nov 8. 1898

William Bell and Mary Black) was born on 1 May 1806 in Holborn, London Borough of Camden, Greater London, England; was christened on 11 May 1806 in Scotch Church, Wells St, St Marylebone, London, England; died on 18 Feb 1849 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mr Andrew Wilson's Demise
One of Lanark County's Stal-Men Passes Away After Months of Suffering Patiently Borne. After an illness of more than six months, Mr Andrew Wilson, sr., one of the most prominent men in the political and social life of Lanark county, passed away from a painful disease, gangrene. Mr Wilson was born in the parish of New Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the 20th of February, 1820. He migrated to this country with his father, Mr Jas Wilson, in 1825. His father settled on the farm on the 10th concession of Ramsay where the deceased resided until about twelve years ago when he moved to Appleton, where he has since lived, his son James, succeeding on the farm. They were preceded to this country by the deceased's two uncles, Messrs William and Robert Baird, in 1821. His father bought the farm on which he settled from the Canada company for eight shillings and nine pence per acre. His father died about fifty years ago being denied the pleasures of his labours when the hardships of pioneer life were passed. Mr Andrew Wilson over half-a-century ago married Margaret Bryson, sister of the late Robert Bryson and Mrs James Baird, of this town and of the late Hon George Bryson of Fort Coulonge. Mr and Mrs Wilson had the pleasure of celebrating their golden wedding about twelve years ago, but Mrs Wilson predeceased him about two years ago. To them were born four children, one of whom died in infancy. Maggie, the second eldest, who married Geo Newman, died about 21 years ago, Mary lives in their village home, to which the deceased retired about 12 years ago, and their only son, James, lives on the homestead. Mr Wilson was a man who took an active interest in the public affairs of the county. For more than twenty-five years he was a director of the N.L.A.S., was first vice-president for many years and served as president for a couple of years. He also held an honourable position in the municipal affairs of the county and township. He was township councillor for seven years and deputy reeve several times. He was reeve at the time when the reeves formed the county council. In 1890 he was census commissioner. In religion he was a Presbyterian, a member of St Andrew's church Appleton, and for many years, a manager and treasurer. In politics he was a Conservative and a great admirer of Sir John A. McDonald. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The pallbearers were Messrs R.W. Fumerton, Wm Paul, John Kirkwood, D. Dowling, Wm Garvin and John Stewart. Interment took place in the 8th line Ramsay cemetery. Mr Wilson was a stalwart gentleman of the old school, reared amidst the hardship of pioneer life. In day when characters were formed as strong as the hard ground from whence they drew their sustenance and more rugged than the lofty forest whose crashing fall betokened the advance of civilization. His actions all through life have been tempered with the straightforward honesty and justice of his father's time, which is unfortunately, rapidly becoming all too rare in our too greatly enlightened age. There passes away a man who will be greatly missed for he was greatly admired.

Andrew married Margaret Bryson in 1843. Margaret (daughter of James Bryson and Jean Cochrane) was born on 19 May 1821 in At Sea; died on 5 Nov 1901 in Appleton, Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mr James Wilson Killed
Not only Appleton district but the surrounding community in a wide circle was appalled on Wednesday when the intelligence passed from one person to another, that James Wilson had been killed. How the accident happened is not known for certain, but it is supposed he was unhitching his team in the barn about noon and that one of the horses had kicked him, and when found one side of his head was crushed in. Mrs Wilson heard an unusual noise in the barn, and upon going out to ascertain the cause she found her husband unconscious, and in a short time he passed away. The late Mr Wilson was a son of the late Andrew Wilson, sr., and was about 56 years of age. He was married about 22 years ago to Miss Mary Snedden, daughter of the late James Snedden, and to them five children were born. Of these Christina is teaching at Rosetta, Maggie is bookkeeper in Mr J.A. McGregor's store at Appleton, Bryson and Janet are attending the high school at Carleton Place, and John, the youngest, is at home. Mrs Wilson is still living, as is also a sister of the deceased, Miss Mary Wilson, at Appleton. The late Mr Wilson was a man of a quiet and retiring disposition, but was highly respected by all who knew him ? those knowing him best holding him in highest esteem. He was a good neighbour, a staunch friend and a man of sterling probity and uprightness in all his dealings. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a staunch Liberal in politics. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from his late home to the Presbyterian cemetery on the eighth line of Ramsay. The sad occurrence has called forth sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the family and friends so sorely bereaved.

James married Mary Whyte Snedden in 1892. Mary (daughter of James Snedden and Christena Snedden) was born on 1 Apr 1861 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Dec 1930 in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
