Obit. ? Mrs James Black
Almost twenty years ago the Gazette published a sketch of two of Ramsay township's earliest settlers and most respected residents. In that sketch, descriptive of the experiences of a party of settlers who had left Scotland to make their homes in Canada, and who were coming up the St. Lawrence in Durham boats, the following sentence appeared: "There is a hurried landing from one of the boats, and by-and-bye, the wail of a new-born infant. Thus is born to Mr and Mrs James Johnston, a daughter ? Janet, now Mrs James Black." A few years later then the sketch Mr Black was called away, and now Mrs Black has reached the home for which she so long and earnestly looked. The year of her birth was 1821, and in her death at 94 years of age, one of the oldest residents of Ramsay township has passed to the great beyond. She was a daughter of the late Jas, Johnston, R.N., a veteran of the wars with Napoleon. She was married to Mr Back in 1844, and to them eleven were born, four of whom survive. These are Mrs C.W. Gilmour (Margaret), Braeside; Mrs A.A. Steele (Agnes), Steelton, Sask.; Robt, fifth line Ramsay, William H., at Morrisburg. For about six years the late Mrs Black was a patient in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, helpless from a broken limb, but possessing all her mental faculties to the end. She was a woman of exalted Christian character and remarkably patient and cheerful disposition. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon from the Presbyterian manse to the eighth line cemetery vault, and was attended by many from Ramsay and Almonte
