At Fourscore Years
One of Almonte's oldest residents was called on Wednesday to cross that bourne from whence no traveller returns, when Mrs Alex McLean, who had nearly threescore years lived in town, succumbed to an illness of just a week's duration. She had always enjoyed good health and retained her faculties to a wonderful degree, and was still able to read without the use of glasses. She was born in Lanark township, in 1822, and twenty-six years later was married to Mr McLean in Perth, Rev Wm Bell performing the ceremony. Mr McLean died about thirteen years ago. The family born to them were Arch, in Franklin, Wash; Robt, who died in Butte, Mont, a couple of years ago; Tena, Mrs Brown, Bath, N.Y.; Alex, in Montreal; Vina, Mrs Geo Soule; Albert J., in town (with whom his mother lived), and Maude, Mrs Deans, of Brandon, Man. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon

Catherine married Alexander McLean in 1848. Alexander (son of Lachlan McLean and Christina Campbell) was born on 4 Apr 1810 in Glasgow (Central District), Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 23 May 1890 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
