Notes:

Died:
Widespread was the deep regret expressed over the very sudden death of Mrs. J.D., a lady who belonged to one of the best known families in this part of the country. She died on Monday morning shortly after midnight.

Mrs Robertson, who was in her 72nd year, had not been in the best of health for some time, but there was no anticipation that her illness would terminate fatally so soon. Indeed she was out driving on Sunday afternoon with her son, and in the morning Mrs Robertson and other members of the family had attended the communion service in Almonte Presbyterian church. About midnight she complained of diziness, and became gradually worse. Half an hour afterwards, despite the best of care, she passed away. Mrs Robertson had suffered for some time from attacks of dizziness, and had one in church a few years ago.

Her maiden name was Sarah Jane Scott. She was the daughter of the late William Scott and Elizabeth Hampton. She was married to J.D. Robertson in 1869. they had nine children, who with her husband all survive. Thus her death is the first break in the large family. the children are William H. Robertson, of Ramsay; George of Peace River; Edward, of Stettler, Alberta; Ernie, at home; Elizabeth (Mrs A.H. McLean) of North Battleford, Saskatchewan; Eva(Mrs Alton Matthews) of Ramsay; Edith (Mrs Wm Anderson) of Ramsay; Sadie (Mrs W.J. Haire) of Toronto; and Ethel at home. One sister and three brothers also survive: Mary (Mrs William Robertson of Union Hall; Thomas Scott, James Scott and William Henry Scott, of Manitoba.

The funeral which was held on tuesday from the family home to the Presbyterian cemetery on the 8th Line of Ramsay, was very largely attended. Relatives on both sides, themselves numbered very many and their were many old friends from a distance. Mr robertson and his son william are amongst the most respected elders of Almonte Presbyterian church and so there was a large representation from that congregation. the automobiles and other conveyances must have strung out over a mile as they proceeded slowly to the cemetery.

The services at the home and grave were conducted by Rev J.D. McCrae, her minister, and the pallbearers were: Messrs Alton Matthews, Roy Roberston, William Miller, William Anderson, Robert Young and W.E Scott.

?b?Another of Ramsay's Early Settlers Gone.?/b?
Once more we are called on to discharge the most painful part of the duty devolving on caterers for the public in the way of news, that of recording the death of a well known and much respected inhabitant of this county, and whose expected death was briefly noticed last week. We feel satisfied that the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood will learn with regret of the death of Mr. Andrew Cochrane, sen., which took place at his residence, 7th con. Ramsay, on Sunday last. Mr. Cochrane was born in Glasgow in the year 1813, and at the age of 19 left Scotland alone to seek his fortune in Canada, For a year or two he remained in the vicinity of Montreal, but ultimately came to the township of Ramsay, and settled in 1836 on the homestead where he resided continuously until his death. He married the year of his settlement, and by his wife, who has now been dead good many years, he had eleven children, nine of whom are now living. He took a very warm interest in the Presbyterian Church on the 8th line whilst it existed there. His last illness extended over period of seven weeks, and was paralysis, which held him so fast that for eighteen days before his death he could not eat, and gradually grew weaker until Sunday afternoon last at 3:30, when he quietly passed away without a struggle. The deceased was a thorough Reformer, and felt considerable interest in the success of Reform principles. The funeral took place on Tuesday last, and was very largely attended. On behalf of a very large number of our readers, and the inhabitants generally, we tender the family their deep sympathy.
