?b?The Late Mr. James Stewart?/b?
Sooner or later death comes to us all, but to very few is given such a fullness of years as was enjoyed by Mr. James Stewart, one of Ramsay's pioneers who died on Thursday of last week, at the ripe old age of 87 years. Born in
Glasgow, Scotland, in the opening of the present century, he spent the earlier years of his life there as clerk in a warehouse. When about 21 years of age he emigrated to this country, coming as a passenger on the ship "Buchanan" in 1821, working his passage out by acting as clerk on the vessel. On landing he took up land, the property secured being that lot which includes "the Point," opposite Burnside, but this he afterward exchanged for the farm on which his life was spent. Being one of the first settlers in the township, he endured all the privations incident to a life in the backwoods, and many were the tales he could tell of the hardship suffered and obstacles overcome by himself and his wife (Helen Brown) in their efforts to establish a home for themselves on Canadian soil. While the Rideau canal was being built his spare time between seeding and harvest was spent working on it. On one occasion while away his wife disposed of a few bushels of surplus wheat they had for a dollar a bushel, the money received being the nucleus of it after years grew to be a comfortable income., and which was enjoyed by them until about ten years ago, when his wife died. The deceased was a man of sterling worth, whose word was as his bond, and whose sympathy and assistance were never withheld from those who were deserving it, and many are the kind and grateful memories that still linger in the hearts of those who received bounty at his hand. In the early years of Presbyterianism in Ramsay he cast in his lot with that denomination, and for many years was a member and elder of the old church at the eighth line,. when St. Andrew's church was established in Almonte he was one of the first elders appointed, a position which he held up to the time of his death, discharging the duties of that office with the same Christian earnestness and zeal which characterized his whole Christian life, preaching more eloquently than with word by his quiet and consistent walk in the footsteps of that Master whom he delighted to serve, and whose consolations he so much enjoyed during his declining years. In politics he was a staunch Reformer, but never took an active part in public matters. He was a man of robust constitution, and up to a few days of his death was going about as usual, attending to little duties around the house, but on Tuesday he was prostrated by what seemed to be a general breaking down of his system., and on Thursday, to him, the welcome summons came, bidding him join the bright throng above. The funeral on Saturday was very largely attended, evincing the high esteem in which the deceased was held by all who knew him.
