One of the pioneer settlers, and probably one of the oldest, passed to rest Saturday evening in the person of Mr Thomas Lawrie, in his 98th year. For some years past he has been confined to his room, but retained all his faculties until a couple of weeks ago, and since then his strength gradually weakened until he passed away. The late Mr Lawrie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on December 5th, 1820, his parents being Agnes Bailey and William Lawrie. When about eighteen years of age he entered the army in which he spent over eleven years. He came to Canada when about forty years of age and settled on a farm on the ninth line. He was united in marriage to Miss Ella Lawson also of Scotland. Later they moved to the farm on the tenth line, and following his wife's death about twenty years ago, continued to reside with his son on this farm until this spring when they came to town to reside. Two children born to them are still living, and these are Mr Archambault of Iroquois Falls Ont, and Mr Wm Lawrie of town, with whom he lived. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon from his son's home on Mitcheson street, interment being made in the eighth line cemetery. The services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev S.G. Brown. The pallbearers were Messrs R.W. Young, W. Armstrong, Geo Crawford, W. Leckie, John Leckie and Alex Nontell. Many old friends and neighbours were present to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased.

Thomas married Ellen Lawson in 1860. Ellen was born on 27 Nov 1837 in Scotland; died on 31 Aug 1897 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 2 Sep 1897 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
