The Late Mr James Snedden
The chronicler of local events has at no time a sadder duty to perform than when called on to record the death of those well known to the generality of our readers, and who have to certain extent identified themselves with the history of the locality. No face was more familiar on our streets than that of the gentleman whose death it is our sad duty to record to day. Very few indeed of our readers in Almonte and the surrounding neighbourhood but can recall the good-humoured countenance of the man who was so well and favourably known at "Banker Snedden," but whose smile will be seen no more. The late Mr James Snedden was born on the 11th line of Beckwith in 1821. About fifty-five years ago the father of the deceased removed to Ramsay, settling at Rosebank, and building the grist mill there, afterwards going into the lumbering business, and dying at Quebec of cholera about 1834. At the time of his father's death James, who was the eldest son, was about fourteen years of age, and from that time he acted as a father to his brothers and sisters. The three brothers, James, William and John continued to work harmoniously together until the youngest was about thirty years of age, but although they were then working each for himself, the elder brother never lost his fatherly interest in their well being. Like his father, the deceased engaged in lumbering and speculation of other kinds, and was very fortunate in his pursuits, but the hard times in the lumber trade and a heavy expenditure he had been led into to improve the passage from his timber limits, caused him heavy losses. It must not, however, be supposed that he was straightened in his resources, as the widow and family are left well provided for. The deceased attended church at Rosebank on Sunday, as usual, and on Monday morning he harnessed his horse to come to Almonte, He went into the house to wash his hands and coming out of the wash-room he placed his hand on his head and exclaiming "Oh! My head!" fell to the floor in an apoploptic fit, and only rallied for a brief time in the evening, and died on Tuesday morning about six o'clock, in the 61st year of his age. The deceased was borne to the 8th line cemetery on Thursday afternoon, the funeral being attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbours who were unanimous in the opinion that a good and worthy neighbour has been called away. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

James married Christena Snedden in 1856. Christena (daughter of Alexander Snedden and Mary Whyte) was born in 1833 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 9 Nov 1883 in Bennies Corners, Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
