Mr John Thom
In the death of Mr John Thom on Saturday there passed away one whose figure has been a familiar one in these parts for many years. He was born near Glasgow, Scotland, on August 13th, 1829, and was therefore in his 78th year. His parents came to Canada when he was two years of age and settled in Beckwith, five years later moving to the 12th line of Ramsay, where the deceased lived continuously until December, 1898, when he came of Almonte to live. In December 1854, He married Marion, youngest daughter of the late John Neilson, by whom he had eight children: Agnes, deceased; Margaret M., (Mrs Thos Cavers), Ramsay; Jane deceased; John, on the homestead; Mary A., Almonte; Marion M., deceased; Rev Geo W., Sundridge, Ont., and one died in infancy. In 1883, Mrs Thom died leaving six children to mourn her loss. Mr Thom married a second wife in the person of Marion McKinlay, who died three years ago. The deceased had three brothers; William, deceased; James, Carleton Place, and David, postmaster at Whitehurst, near Brockville; also two sisters: Mary (Mrs Jas Turner), Ramsay; and Margaret, deceased wife of the late Jas Waddell, Pakenham. The late Mr Thom enjoyed rugged health throughout his lifetime until about a year or more ago, when he showed signs of failing strength, and he succumbed on Saturday last, The funeral service on Tuesday was well attended and was conducted by Rev C.H. Daly of St. John's church. The pall-bearers were the nearest family relatives of the deceased, viz., his two brothers, two sons, son-in-law, and brother-in-law. The deceased was a man of uprightness and integrity ? one whose word was his bond. He was for years a member of the Reformed Presbyterian church and was so imbued with the spirit and teaching of that body that his whole life was an exemplication of the principles ...[last line fades out]..there.
