1901, Friday February 22, The Almonte Gazette front page
Obit: ? The Late Mrs Wm. Gilmour
After about twelve months' illness from gradual wearing-out of the system Helen Burns, relict of the late William Gilmour, passed out of life on Monday afternoon last at the home of her eldest son, Mr Allan W. Gilmour, of Braeside. The remains were brought to this town on Tuesday afternoon, and the funeral took place from her late home in the New England section on Wednesday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery. There was a large attendance. Many old residents turned out to pay the final mark of respect to one who was so long identified with this section. Rev Mr Hutcheon officiated, deceased having been a long years a member of St Andrew's congregation. The late Mrs Gilmour was born in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, close on eighty years ago, and came with her parents (the late Mr and Mrs Robert Burns, of Bristol, Que.) to Canada in the year 1849. In 1844 she became the wife of Mr Wm Gilmour, who died ten years ago last August. They lived on the homestead farm in Ramsay till 1876, when they moved into Almonte, and the subject of this sketch resided there till December last, when she went to Braeside to stay with her son for the winter. Of seven children born to her five survive, viz.: Allan W., of Braeside; Mrs Peter Naismith, of Ramsay; Robert, of Almonte; William, of Ramsay; and James B., of Climax, Minnesota. For almost sixty years deceased was a highly respected resident of Ramsay and Almonte, and her death is deeply regretted.
