A Ramsay Pioneer, and Prominent and Successful Farmer Called to His Reward - Sketch of His Life

It is with sincere regret that we chronicle the death of one of Ramsay township's most respected farmers, in the person of Mr John Steele, who passed away on Saturday last, after being confined to bed for a month with inflamation of the stomach. Few men in this neighbourhood were better known or more highly esteemed, and the announcement of his death carried sorrow to many hearts. All his life he enjoyed the best of health, being possessed of a rugged constitution. Up to last Christmas he had never been troubled with any illness worth mentioning; then he was laid aside for a time, but recovered, and was able to go about as usual until a few weeks ago, when he was attacked by the trouble that terminated fatally. the late Mr Steele was identified with the progress of the township in which he lived for upward of sixty years.

He had his share in the work of transforming the primitive forest into a section that is now covered with fine farms and comfortable homes; and in later years his enterprise as a farmer manifested itself in the line of introducing and encouraging the breeding of thoroughbred stock in the country. He was an officer of the first agricultural society orginized in this district, and for nearly fifty years he held office in it and took a keen interest in its welfare.

In 1886 he was elected president of the North Lanark Agricultural Society, and later on, when increasing years prevented his taking as active a part as he had done, he was elected an honourary director for life. Mr Steele was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, on the 25th January 1812, so that he had reached the patriarchal of 82 years. He came to Canada with his parents (who were among the earliest settlers of this part) in 1821. They came first to Lanark Village, then came down the Clyde and Mississippi rivers in boats, their landing place and first camping place being on the site now occupied by the Almonte town hall property. His parents first took up"Riverside Farm" now owned by Messrs M. and J. McFarlane, some years later they lived on the one at present owned by Mr. A. A. Steele and a half century ago the deceased purchased the homestead, on which he resided continuously till he died. At Pakenham in 1850 the late Rev Dr Mann unitedhim in marriage with Mary Johnston, who survives, with six children, to mourn his loss. the chilren are Alexander and Robert in Montana, and John, William, Margaret and Jessie, on the homestead. In politics deceased was a Liberal and in religion a Presbyterian. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was one of the largest ever seen in the township, the cortege being about a mile long. the sorrowing widow and family have the sympathy of a host of friends.
