Almonte Gazette, Almonte, Ontario, Canada, 12 Apr 1918, p.1, col. 6.,
An Octegenarian at Rest.
When the word spread abroad a few days ago that Mrs. Wm. Young of the tenth line of Ramsay, was seriously ill of pneumonia, hope were expressed by many that she might recover, but such was not to be, and this Thursday morning at six o'clock, she passed peacefully away to enter the home beyond, in her 85th year. The late Mrs. Young was Marion Nicholson, a daughter of the late Alexander Nicholson of Ramsay, and she was married to Mr. Wm. Young in 1857 and went to "Brae Head" farm where they lived until January 7th, 1914, when Mr. Young died. Nine children were born to them, seven sons and two daughters, and with one exception, that of Dr. John Young, who died suddenly at Smiths Falls on January 17th, 1901, the family circle is still intact. Those who are living are Robt. W., on the homestead; Alex. N., in Ottawa; Wm. M., at Detroit, Mich.; Rev. Stephen at Saskatoon, Sask.; Peter A., of Crystal City, Man., (at present at Tampa, Florida); Rev. Henry at Morningside, Alta.; Geo., at home; Jessie (Mrs. T.G. Wilson), Arnprior; Annie (Mrs. P. Y. Sutherland), Ramsay. There are 17 grandchildren still living. The late Mrs. Young was a Presbyterian, and was a member of St. John's church in Almonte, prior to which she was connected with the eighth line church when Rev. Mr. Smith was the minister. There she was a regular attendant at the services at a time when to do so meant much more of a sacrifice of comfort and ease than it does today, and when she became an attender of St. John's church she was just as earnest and faithful until declining years and relaxing energy rendered it impossible for her to continue so consistent a course. The funeral will take place on Saturday, 13th inst., from the residence of her son, Robt. W. Young, to the eight line cemetery.

Memorial Marker for Alexander Nicholson and Janet McIntosh: In memory of Alexander Nicholson died Nov 23 1876 [actually 1877] aged 86 Yrs also his wife Janet McIntosh died Jan 19 [actually 17], 1875 aged 70 [actually she was older] Natives of Inverness Scotland. [Note, while the memorial marker for Alexander Nicholson and Janet McIntosh state that they were "natives of Inverness Scotland," it is unlikely that Alexander was born in Inverness. His legal death record states he was born in Perthshire. A search of births of Alexander Nicholsons during the early 1790's show zero in Inverness and multiple for Perthshire. Furthermore the memorial marker states slightly incorrect dates and ages indicating that the memorial marker may have been placed some time afterward by adult children or grandchildren whose knowledge of their birth origins may have been faulty. Since it is not likely Alexander was a native of Inverness, perhaps his parents were. Furthermore, it is likely that his wife Janet McIntosh was a native of Inverness (as the McIntosh clan hails from there).
