An Old Settler's Sudden Death
The late James Simpson, whose death was announced last week, was buried in the eighth line cemetery on Friday. The funeral took place from the residence of his sister, Mrs Wm. Paul, and was well attended. Deceased, who was 81 years old, and had never known what it was to be seriously ill, ate a hearty breakfast, and said he felt better than usual. During the forenoon he was sitting beside the stove in his house enjoying a smoke, when he gave a sudden groan, fell to the floor and expired. His sister, Miss Simpson, did what she could for him, and his nephew, Mr Wm. Paul, jr., who happened along just at the right time, tenderly lifted the venerable form to a bed, but ere that was done the vital spark had fled. Deceased came from Scotland in 1831, and for over sixty years lived on his farm adjoining Wolf Grove.

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.
