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.
