Death Of An Old Settler
We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of one of the pioneer settlers of Lanark County ? of whom but a few are now living ? in the person of Mrs Wm Paul, sr., of the 7th line Ramsay. The sad event took place on Friday last, and, although not unexpected, the news of her death was received with sorrow by a large circle of friends. The funeral took place on Monday, and the large number who followed her remains to the grave showed the universal esteem and respect in which she was held by the community. Deceased was one of the very earliest settlers in Ramsay having with her husband, emigrated from Glasgow, Scotland ? their native place ? in the year 1821 ? sixty years ago ? and settled in Ramsay the same year, and on the farm on which she resided continuously until her death. She attained ripe old age of 84 years, and for the past 26 years had been an invalid, caused by a severe attack of rheumatic fever ? an affliction which was borne with exemplary patience and resignation. Although physically disabled she was strong intellectually, at it was always a pleasure to her to relate her experiences in the early years of her life in Ramsay ? a time when Almonte had no existence, and when Lanark County was almost a trackless forest. Few can imagine the hardships endured or the obstacles which had to be overcome by the settlers at that time, and the present generation should not forget that they have these hardy pioneers to thank for paving the way to the fertile farms and prosperous villages which are to be seen throughout the country, Thus one by one they are passing away until at present but a very few remain; and are leaving behind them example of industry energy and perseverance which will not soon be forgotten.

The Late Mrs L. Naismith
On Monday last, word was received of the death, in Templeton, California, of Mary Paul, wife of Mr Lawrence Naismith, formerly of Almonte and Ramsay, and the announcement caused genuine sorrow among a large circle of friends, as the deceased was well known through this section, and was esteemed for her womanly qualities. Mrs Naismith, while an infant, came with her parents (the late Mr and Mrs Wm Paul, of the 7th line Ramsay) to Canada in 1821, and lived in this section nearly all her life. She married Mr Naismith 55 years ago, and they celebrated their golden wedding in Almonte in 1889. They resided on the 7th line of Ramsay up to ten of eleven years ago, when they come to Almonte; and they removed to California four years ago. Mrs Naismith had been an invalid for years, and up to the last, received every attention from the hands of her sister, Miss Paul. Two weeks prior to deceased's death she was attacked with pleurisy, which soon gain the mastery over the weakened frame. A strong faith in God was her sure foundation in the closing hours. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Templeton of the 17th inst. Much sympathy is felt for Mr Naismith, who is himself in very poor health as the result of an attack of grippe, followed by erysipelas. Mrs Naismith's death is the first break in the late Wm Paul's family of ten children.

Family/Spouse: Lawrence Naismith. Lawrence was born in 1816 in Glasgow (Glasgow Cathedral or High), Glasgow City, Scotland; died on 26 Sep 1905 in Mississippi Mills (Almonte), Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 28 Sep 1905 in United Church (Auld Kirk) Cemetery, Mississippi Mills (Ramsay), Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The Late William Paul
Ninety years ago William Paul and his wife were among the pioneers who set sail from Scotland for Canada, their object being to carve out homes for themselves in the new country. Three months or so later found them with the first settlers of this section encamped on the banks of the Mississippi near where Almonte's town hall now stands. from that point the stout-hearted immigrants scattered to all points of the compass. Mr Paul and his wife located on the 7th line of Ramsay, where they lived to a good age, and passed away after doing their full share towards converting the country from primeval forest to the present prosperous and comfortable farms lands which distinguish this county. Ten children were born to them, and in course of time the farm passed into the hands of their eldest son, William Paul the Second. The latter was born on the pioneer farm in November 1824, lived on it for over eighty-six years, and in his turn ended his days there on Saturday last, after a short illness due simply to the wearing out of the system from age. Now William Paul the Third hold sway over the same farm, which has thus remained with the family into the third generation, all the owners bearing the same honoured name. The late William Paul was a modest but industrious farmer, who won general esteem by his fine qualities as a neighbour, and his influence could be depended upon to help along the cause he believed to be a worthy one. He never sought or held public office; his domestic life was worthy of praise; and his faith in God was strong and unshaken to the end. He was one of the oldest members of St John's Presbyterian congregation, and the funeral service was conducted by Rev C.H. Daly, pastor of that church. Interment was made on Tuesday in the 8th line cemetery. The cortege was notable for its length and the large turnout of the older citizens of town and country. Mr Paul and Janet Simpson were united in marriage over halfa- century ago. Mrs Paul died over fifteen years ago. The surviving children are Mr William Paul and Miss Aggie Paul, on the homestead, and Mrs John Milliens of Wakada, Man. Of the ten children of his own generation but two survive ? Miss Agnes Paul, of Ramsay, and Mr Robert Paul of Clayton. Mr Paul's death removes almost the last of the venerated pioneers of his immediate neighbourhood.

Mr William Paul
There passed away at his home on the seventh line of Ramsay last Monday morning Mr William Paul. one of the township's best known and most highly respected residents. Born on the homestead in July 1858, the only son of the late William Paul and Jane Simpson, he spent all of his life on the farm on which he died. Being ill only a few days his death came as a decided shock to his many friends and relatives. In February, 1893, William Paul was married in Ramsay, to Christine Porterfield, who predeceased him 21 years ago. Deceased was of a quiet, retiring disposition, a trusted friend and neighbour. In religion he was formerly a Presbyterian, having been a member of St John's Church prior to union. He was a member of Bethany United church in Almonte, at the time of his death. Left to mourn his passing are one son William Melville Paul on the homestead; (Olive), Mrs Albert Naismith, Ramsay, and (Edna) Mrs Edward Rose, Pakenham; also one sister Miss Agnes Paul of Lanark, and eight grandchildren. Two sisters are deceased (Kate), Mrs John Millions of Waskada, Manitoba; and Miss Margaret Paul of Ramsay. The funeral which was held Tuesday afternoon to the Auld Kirk Cemetery was largely attended. Services were conducted by Rev C.D. McLellan assisted by Rev J.M. Rutherford. Pallbearers were: Joseph Paul, Carleton Place; William Paul of Stittsville; John Yuill of Rosetown, Sask.; M.W. Wallace, William Paul and John McArton of Ramsay. Among the floral tributes were a wreath from the family; sprays from the grandchildren, a spray from the neighbours; spray from the U.F.W.O. and a spray from Miss Ruby Wilson and pupils of S.S. 14 of which school section deceased was for many years a trustee.

Miss Maggie Paul
After suffering for several months from a lung trouble, Miss Maggie J. Paul, daughter of Mr Wm Paul, of Ramsay, was called upon on Friday of last week to test the realities of the life beyond the grave. The deceased was of a very quiet and retiring disposition, unostentatious in all that she did, but ever faithful in the discharge of her duties. She was an earnest and consistent follower of the Savoir, whom she loved, and died as she lived -- in the full hope of a blessed resurrection. The funeral on Monday was an unusually large one, many friends following the remains to the place of interment in the eighth line cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev A.M. Currie, assisted by Rev A.E. Mitchell of Ottawa, who came up to attend the funeral. The sympathy of the community goes out to the father and other members of the family in their bereavement, and is increased because of the illness of the aged parent who was unable to leave his room on the day of the funeral.
