J.A. Teskey
A man whose life story is inseparably entwined with the history of Ramsay passed to his eternal reward early Tuesday morning when Mr J. A. Teskey answered the call of his Creator. Mr Teskey had been in rather poor health for some years but was not taken seriously ill until some three weeks ago. John Adam Teskey was born at Appleton in 1837 a son of the late Robert Teskey, who was one of the pioneer settlers of Ramsay. Upon his father's death he succeeded to his business interests and for many years was identified with the woolen and agricultural interests of Appleton. In this work his brother Rufus was associated with him. Some years ago he sold out his woolen business to Mr Caldwell and about one year ago, having disposed of his farm to Mr Spiers, moved to Almonte where he has since resided. He is survived by his wife (formerly Miss Giles of Brockville) one son, Albert E., in Winnipeg, and one daughter, Mrs W. West, Almonte. Two brothers ? Rufus of Toronto, and R.A. of Alberta ? and three sisters ? Mrs Bredin of Winnipeg, Mrs (Dr) Giles and Mrs Deacon of Brockville. In politics Mr Teskey was a consistent supporter of the Conservative party, and was a strength to his party in many campaigns. In religion he was a Methodist, and was a staunch supporter of temperance and moral reform. Deceases carried to the tomb the accumulated respect of many years of public and private citizenship.

John married Sarah Giles on 22 Sep 1863 in Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario, Canada. Sarah (daughter of William Godkin Giles and Sarah Richards) was born on 10 Apr 1833 in Athens, Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario, Canada; died on 20 Apr 1909 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mrs J.A. Teskey
Death came with startling suddenness to Mrs J.A. Teskey on Tuesday evening. She had been ailing for a week of so from bronchial affection, but was thought to be better and she was looking forward to a night of quiet repose, when she suddenly expired in the arms of her daughter, Mrs West, who was making her comfortable for the night. Mrs Teskey was born at Athens (then Farmersville) and was 76 years of age. She was the youngest daughter of the late Wm Giles, who came from Ireland in 1811, and settled at Utica, N.Y. In the following year he became dissatisfied with conditions in the U.S. and in 1813 he removed to Canada, coming to Brockville and afterwards settling at Farmersville, where he purchased a farm. Here it was that Mrs Teskey was born. Deceased was married to Mr J.A. Teskey on Sept 22nd, 1862, and with him went to Appleton where they lived until a couple of years ago, when they came to Almonte. Five children were born to them, but only two ? Albert E., of Winnipeg, and Mrs W. West (Ethel) of Almonte ? survive. One sister, Mrs Geo Glassford of Kingston, who is in her 87th year, also survives. Her youngest brother, Dr. Giles, of Athens, died six years ago in March. Mrs Teskey was a women of quiet and retiring disposition, whose home was her absorbing care, and here it was that the loving traits of her character were to be seen. She was for years a member of the Methodist church, and in her quiet life were borne the fruits that her consistent walk demanded. The funeral will take place on Friday at 3 o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.

DEATH'S HARVEST
Mr Jas Forgie
Another of Almonte's very oldest residents has responded to the inevitable call that comes sooner or later to every one, and Mr James Forgie passed beyond this world's recall. On Saturday he had been about as usual but on Sunday he was taken very ill, and on Wednesday morning he quietly slept away. The late Mr Forgie was born in Ramsay township on April 1st, 1833, a son of the late Graham Forgie and Ann Gemmill. He came to Almonte when he was a young man, and here he engaged in occupation of one kind or another. He was a wagon-maker by trade, but even in those early days real estate divisions were attractive and he purchased the land on the northern end of the town through which Ottawa street is today the main thoroughfare. From the proceeds of this transaction he was enabled to embark in other enterprises in which his efforts also proved successful, and aided him in making ample provision for his declining years. In 1870 he erected the brick store and dwelling, in which he carried on business for a number of years. On May 5th, 1855, Mr Forgie was married to Miss Isabella Thomlinson, and to them twelve children were born, on two of whom are now living. These are Mr J.G. Forgie, barrister, of Pembroke, and Mrs A.E. Teskey of Winnipeg. On May 5, 1905, Mr and Mrs Forgie celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Two years later Mrs Forgie was called away, and on August 29, 1911, Mr Forgie was again married to Georgina G. Smith, who survives him. Two brothers of Mr Forgie's are still living, Henry at Toronto and Robert at Portage la Prairie. The funeral took place this Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock to the Presbyterian cemetery and was attended by a large number, both of townspeople and others, whose respect and esteem Mr Forgie had won. The late Mr Forgie was a life-long member of the Presbyterian church, and was one of the staunch supporters of and liberal contributors to St. John's church, when it did not enjoy prosperity that marked its later years. No appeal for truly religious or charitable purposes was ever made in vain to him, and very few knew the amount of the benefactions dispensed by him, as he put into actual practice the scriptural injuction, "Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth." He was possessed of very quiet and retiring disposition, and it was only as one was taken into his confidence that the true strength of his character became known. He was upright and straightforward in his dealings, in which his word was his bond. His passing away was the closing of a life that any person might well covet possession of.

James married Isabella Thomlinson on 7 May 1855 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West. Isabella (daughter of John Thomlinson, Sr. and Isabel Forgie) was born on 4 Mar 1835 in Innisville, Drummond Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 9 May 1907 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 12 May 1907 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mrs James Forgie
Last Saturday Mrs James Forgie was around as usual, bright, cheerful and happy, going about her household duties in her customary manner, and this (Thursday) afternoon she passed on to test the realities of the great beyond. On Sunday morning she was taken suddenly ill and all through Sunday and Monday her condition occasioned grave apprehension. On Wednesday, however she apparently was slightly better and brighter, but the improvement proved to be only temporary, and this morning it was seen she was rapidly nearing the end. Mr and Mrs John G. Forgie came down from Pembroke on Tuesday, and word was sent to Mrs Teskey at Winnipeg, who is coming by today's Winnipeg train, but too late to see her mother alive. Mrs Forgie whose maiden name was Isabella Thomlinson, was born near Innisville, a daughter of the late John and Jessie Thomlinson, and on the 7th of May, 1855, was married to Mr James Forgie, Rev J.K. Smith, then Presbyterian minister at the eighth line, Ramsay, performing the ceremony. Of a number of children only two are now living, Mr John G. Forgie of Pembroke, and Mrs A.E. Teskey (Miss Leila) of Winnipeg, the others having died in infancy. Mr and Mrs Forgie came to Almonte immediately after their marriage and have been residents here ever since, and during these fifty-two years have made many friends by their uniformly constant lives. Mrs Forgie was always of a bright and buoyant disposition and many of the trials of life were lightened by her cheerful spirit. Just two years ago this week (May 12th) Mr and Mrs Forgie celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage and in all the company there was not a cheerier voice than hers. Since coming to Almonte Mr and Mrs Forgie were both workers in many a good cause, and in the Presbyterian church of which both were a members their activities found scope, Mrs Forgie being an encouragement and inspiration to all with whom she came into contact in the departments of work which she was most interested. She has for years been a life member of the W.F.M.S. of which organization she was for a number of years treasurer, and was one of its most liberal supporters. Mr Forgie and the son and daughter have the sincere sympathy of many warm friends. The funeral will take place on Saturday at 2.30 p.m., to the eighth line cemetery. Service will be held at the home at 2 o'clock
