Mr James Black
Although the news of the accident from which Mr James Black suffered a couple of weeks ago had become pretty well known, and it was generally thought that owing to his great age the result would likely prove fatal, yet the announcement of his death came as a shock to his many friends and was received with feelings of sadness and a sense of loss. On Wednesday of last week Mr Black arose from his bed and went out and took a look around the house as though he felt it would be for the last time. On Friday afternoon he became unconscious, in which condition he remained until he quietly and calmly breathed his last shortly after three o'clock on Sunday morning. The late Mr Black was born in Glasgow in 1817, and when four years of age his father came to Canada and settled in the township of Ramsay on lot 21 on the 7th concession, on which farm he continued to reside until his death. After the death of his father James took his place, and remained on the same farm until about two years ago, when he went to live with his son Robert on the farm owned by the late Daniel Galbraith on the 5th line of Ramsay. Among those who came to Canada at the same time as Mr Black were Mr and Mrs James Johnston, and to them a daughter was born when on the way up the St Lawrence, who afterward became the wife of Mr James Black. To them were born eleven children, five of whom are still living. They are: Walter (7th line Ramsay), Margaret (Mrs A.W. Gilmour), Braeside), Wm H. (Almonte), Agnes (Mrs A.A. Steele), Ramsay), and Robert J. (with whom the father and mother have been living). Those dead are James, Ellen Gunnan, Charles H., Gilbert J., Jessie and Nellie. Mr Black was always an enterprising and progressive man, and took a keen interest in matters pertaining to the welfare of the township in which he lived. For eleven years he sat at the council ? ten years of that time as deputy-reeve ? and by his intelligence and good judgement aided materially in transacting the business of the township. He also took a lively interest in the North Lanark Agricultural Society, and was for many years an active member of the board of directors. In politics he was a Liberal, who always stood for what he conscientiously believed to be best. He was for many years a member of St Andrew's (Presbyterian) church, Almonte, and until increasing years and failing strength prevented was a regular attendant at the ordinances of that church. Mrs Black, who is in her 79th year, together with other relatives and friends (among whom is William, a brother of the late Mr Black, who is over 80 years of age), have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, was very largely attended, notwithstanding that many mutual friends were in attendance at the funeral of the late John McArton, which took place at the same time.
