Mrs J.D. Robertson
Widespread was the deep regret expressed over the very sudden death of Mrs J.D. Robertson, a lady who belonged to one of the best known families in this part of the country. She died on Monday morning shortly after midnight. Mrs Robertson, who was in her 72nd year, had not been in the best of health for some time, but there was no anticipation that her illness would terminate fatally so soon. Indeed she was out driving on Sunday afternoon with her son, and in the morning Mr Robertson and other members of the family had attended the communion service in Almonte Presbyterian church. About midnight she complained of dizziness, and became gradually worse. Half an hour afterwards, despite the best of care, she passed away. Mrs Robertson had suffered for some time from attacks of dizziness, and had one in church a few years ago. Her maiden name was Sarah Jane Scott. She was the daughter of the late William Scott and Elizabeth Hampton. She was married to Mr J.D. Robertson in 1869. The had nine children, who with her husband all survive. Thus her -442- death is the first break in this large family. The children are: William H. Robertson, of Ramsay; George of Peace River; Edward, of Stettler, Alta; Ernie, at home; Elizabeth (Mrs A.H. McLean) of North Battleford, Sask; Eva (Mrs Alton Matthews) of Ramsay; Edith (Mrs Wm Anderson) of Ramsay; Sadie (Mrs W.J. Haire) of Toronto; and Ethel at home. One sister and three brothers also survive: Mary (Mrs William Robertson) of Union Hall; Thomas Scott, James Scott and William Henry Scott, of Manitoba. The funeral, which was held on Tuesday from the family home to the Presbyterian cemetery on the 8th Line of Ramsay, was very largely attended. Relatives on both sides of themselves numbered very many and their were many old friends from a distance. Mr Robertson and his son William are amongst the most respected elders of Almonte Presbyterian church and so there was a large representation from that congregation. The automobiles and other conveyances must have strung out over a mile as they proceeded slowly to the cemetery. The services at the home and grave were conducted by Rev J.D. McCrae, her minister, and the pallbearers were: Messrs Alton Matthews, Roy Robertson, William Miller, William Anderson, Robert Young and W.E. Scott.
Sarah married James Dow Robertson in 1869. James was born on 20 Oct 1845 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 5 Nov 1930 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
