Mr James Snedden
Although called away in the full fruition of a long life, and the call one looked for with almost eager anticipation, the death of Mr James Snedden on Monday morning brought sadness to the hearts of many. He had been confined to bed for only a couple of weeks, but at times suffered severely, and though borne with that brightness and cheerfulness that characterized his whole life, he longed for release. The late Mr Snedden was born in the township of Ramsay, in 1831, a son of the late Alex. Snedden and Mary Whyte, and spent his whole lifetime within a small radius. He was married in 1856 to Catherine C. Snedden, daughter of the late Wm Snedden. To them two daughters were born, Mrs George Paterson and Miss Matilda Snedden, both living in Almonte. Mrs Snedden died in March 1897, since then Mr Snedden and his daughter have lived in their comfortable home on the river bank, which to Mr Snedden was a home indeed, his greatest pleasure being to spend his days in caring for it. Though possesses of ability and judgement that eminently fitted him for public service he could never be prevailed upon to take any part in such matters. He was of a kindly and genteel disposition that won him the friendship on many. Of three brothers Messrs William and Alex. are dead and David is the only one left. There were several sisters, but they passed away in early life. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and though the day was a disagreeable one there was a good turn out of friends and acquaintances both from the town and from outside points to pay tribute to the memory of a worthy life. The pallbearers were Messrs A.D. Snedden and R.A. Snedden of Pakenham; W.A. Snedden, of Blakeney; Mansfield Snedden, of Appleton, George Mansfield, of Manotick, and Dr. M.H. Steele of Carleton Place.

James married Catherine Cochran Snedden in 1856 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Catherine (daughter of William Snedden and Mary Currie) was born on 8 Apr 1831 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 12 Mar 1897 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1897 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mrs James Snedden
Some time ago Mrs James Snedden of this town, took a severe attack of whooping-cough, which was epidemic at that time, and though she recovered from it she was left in poorer health than was her wont. A few weeks ago a stomach trouble developed and in spite of all the care and medical skill that could be lavished upon her she grew worse by degrees until last Friday, when death ensued. The sad outcome created deep and widespread sorrow, as deceased was known and respected by a very large circle of friends. Mrs Snedden was of a retiring disposition, but those who had the privilege of her acquaintance were charmed with her manner and the graces that adorned her life. Mrs Snedden was born in Glasgow 66 years ago. Over forty years ago, while on a visit to Canada, she formed the acquaintance of Mr. Snedden, who a few years after married her at her home in Scotland. Two children were born to them ? Mrs George Patterson, of this town, and Miss Tillie, at home. That the mourning ones have the full sympathy of their friends was shown by the very large attendance at the funeral on Monday, in spite of the severe weather. A short service was held at the house, conducted by Rev. R.J. Hutcheon, M.A., pastor of St. Andrew's congregation (of which deceased was a consistent member), after which the remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery.
