?b?Mr James Stewart?/b?
Last Friday Mr James Stewart of Ramsay was bought to the R.M. hospital suffering from pneumonia, with little hope for recovery, and on Wednesday evening the unequal contest ended. A very sad feature of the sad occurrence is that his wife died only bout two months ago, and now the four little children, who were then left motherless, are now left fatherless as well. The late Mrs Stewart was a son of the late George Stewart and was in his 45th year. He was married to a daughter of Mr and Mrs Daniel Munro of Clayton, who died the end of February last. There are four children left, the youngest about a year-and-a-half old, and the eldest about six years. The funeral will take place on Friday at 2.30 o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.

?b?Mr George Stewart?/b?
Nearly six years ago Mr Geo Stewart, of the seventh line, Ramsay, suffered from a slight shock of paralysis but from this he recovered to some extent, though he never regained his former activity and vigour. About a year later he suffered from a recurrence of the trouble, but much more severely, and for about five years he had been confined to bed, unable to speak intelligibly, and with little power to help himself in any way. But through all these years he patiently bore his suffering until Sunday last when death resulted from the effects of the trouble. The deceased was born and spent his whole life on the farm upon which he died, his father, the late James Stewart (who in his lifetime was a respected elder of St Andrew's church), having also lived and died upon the same farm. Mr Stewart wife predeceased him several years. Of the family there are six daughters ? Mrs Jas Laronde, Mrs D Laronde, Mrs Rivett and Miss Maggie, at Arnprior, and Misses Minnie and Aggie at home ? and one son, James. at home. Of the brothers and sisters of the deceased, Robert lives in Ramsay, John in Ross township, in Renfrew county, Mary (Mrs Jas Stewart), is in Manitoba, and Agnes, also married, is in western Ontario. Another sister, Isabella, (Mrs Buchanan Paterson), is dead. The funeral took place on Tuesday, and notwithstanding that farmers were so busy the funeral was a very large one. The remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery at Clayton. The deceased was member of the Clayton Presbyterian church and was much respected for many excellent qualities of both head and heart.

?b?The Late Robt Stewart (George -- a Typo ?)
?/b?Through an unfortunate misunderstanding of information given the Gazette last week, the obituary notice of the late George Stewart was inaccurate in some particulars. The late Mr Stewart was born on the farm on the seventh line of Ramsay on which his father, the late Jas Stewart, resided, and on which Mr Robt Stewart, now lives. He afterward moved onto the farm on the sixth line on which his grandfather, Mr Brown, had lived, and here he resided until his death. About six years ago he suffered from a slight stroke of paralysis, and about a year later from another one, which affected his speech to some extent, making it difficult for him to speak intelligibly, but his was able to be around and take a share in the work on the farm, until a short time before his decease, when he suffered from a recurrence of the disease which resulted in his health. (Mr Stewart wife predeceased him several years. Of the family there are six living daughters ? Mrs Jas Laronde, Mrs D. Laronde, Mrs Rivett and Miss Annie, at Arnprior, and Misses Minnie and Aggie, at home ? one son, James, at home. Of the brothers and sisters of the deceased, James the oldest, lives in Winnipeg; Robert, on the homestead in Ramsay; John, in Litchfield, Que; Mary (Mrs Jas Stewart), near Gladstone, Manitoba and Agnes (Mrs Creighton), at Wingham. Another sister, Isabella, (Mrs Buchanan Paterson), is dead.

?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.
