Very Sudden Death
Mr James Neilson of Ramsay,
Expires Almost Without Warning on Monday

? short sketch of His Life.
The people of Almonte and the surrounding country were greatly shocked on Monday morning last to learn that Mr James Neilson, one of Ramsay's most respected farmers had died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart. Mr Neilson was in his usual health till Christmas Day. On that day, after going home from church, he was taken slightly ill, but recovered to a great extent, and nothing serious was feared, During the week following Mr Neilson did not feel quite well, but on the morning on which he died he ate a hearty breakfast and felt better than he had done for some days. Between ten and eleven o'clock he felt a sharp pain in the region of the heart, and died inside of two or three minutes. The late Mr Neilson was a man of sterling character, and enjoyed the esteem of the whole community. He was an elder in St. Andrew's church, and was an exemplary Christian all his life, and his family have the consolation of knowing that the dread summons, though it came suddenly did not find him unprepared. Mr Neilson was a thrifty and progressive farmer. He was a strong Liberal in politics, a man of good natural abilities, and well informed, but was of too quiet and retiring a disposition to ever accept any public position. He was born in Paisley, Scotland, May 15th, 1820. He came to Canada in 1821 with his father, the late John Neilson, who settled on the 12th line of Ramsay immediately after coming to this country. The deceased lived for 52 years on the old homestead and the balance of his life on the farm on which he died, and which he purchased several years ago from Mr Robert Bryson, of Almonte. In 1845 Mr Neilson was married to Miss Marion McFarlane, who survives him. Mr and Mrs Neilson had nine children, and all but one are still living, vis: Mrs David Forgie (Marion), of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs (Rev) J. Wilkie (Agnes), of Indore, Central India; Matthew, C.E., of Calgary; William G., of Beaver, B.C.; and John, Sarah, Mary and Jessie, who are living on the homestead. We tender our deepest sympathy to the widow and family who have been so suddenly bereaved. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon to St. Andrew's church here, thence to the cemetery, and was very largely attended.

Mrs James Neilson
After six months' illness from a gradual breaking-up of the system owing to age Mrs James Neilson passed to her reward on Sunday forenoon last, at the homestead on the 11th line of Ramsay. Deceased was esteemed by a large circle of friends for the womanly graces that adorned her life, and her death is deeply regretted. Mrs Neilson (nee Marion McFarlane) was a daughter of the late Matthew McFarlane, and was one of the first children born in the neighbourhood in the pioneer days, her birth taking place on the Aikenhead farm, a short distance up the Mississippi, Oct 7th, 1822 ? a year or so after the arrival of the first settlers of Ramsay. She was therefore in her 78th year. In 1845 she linked her fortunes with those of Mr Neilson, and after nearly half-a-century of happy married life Mr N. died in January, 1893. Nine children were born to them seven of whom survive, viz: Mrs David Forgie, of Cleveland; Mrs (Rev) J. Wilkie, on Indore, Central India ? now home on a visit; Matthew, C.E., of St John, N.B.; John, Misses Sarah and Mary, on the homestead; and Miss Jessie, of Cleveland, Maggie died many years ago, and William G. (M.P.P. for Kootenay, B.C.) died at the homestead in January, 1899. With the exception of Matthew, who ha been in Jamaica since February, all of the surviving children were with their mother when the end came, Mrs Wilkie having arrived from Toronto a week earlier. Miss Jessie Neilson on Friday, and Mrs Forgie on Saturday. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, from the homestead to the eighth line cemetery, and was very large one. The services were conducted by Rev R.J. Hutcheon, M.A., pastor of St Andrew's church of which decease had long been an exemplary member. The mourning households have the sympathy of their many friends.

1877, May
A Hand-Written Note - In Memoriam
On the 8th of May last ? there passed from this life one of the first settlers in this part of the country, one who will be long lovingly remembered by a wide circle of relatives and friends. We refer to Agnes Wilson, relict of the late John Neilson, Sen., of Ramsay. The departed lady was a native of Paisley, Scotland, from which place she emigrated with her husband and a young family in the year 1820. Shortly after coming to Canada, the family settled in the Township of Ramsay then a wilderness of woods. By hard struggling and untiring perseverance the "bush lot" was soon transformed into a comparatively well cleared farm, with the comforts and conveniences of life coming in slowly but surely. In this home the late Mrs Neilson lived the greater part of her life, brought up a large family, of sons and daughters, and witnessed many happy re-unions of her children and children's children. Possessing many available qualities and living a consistent Christian life, she was deservedly greatly beloved and highly respected. Like the majority of her country-women she took great interest in leading topics of the day, keeping herself well-informed at to the doings of the outside world, so that her conversations was not-only entertaining but highly instructive. She retained her bodily-powers in wonderful vigour until near the last, but it was a source of great sorrow to her relatives that during the last two years of her life, her memory failed her, and that some months before her death the sore trial of a broken leg was added to her afflictions. From that trouble she never recovered. After lingering for a few months, at the ripe age of 86, she passed away to her rest ? "this rest that remaineth for the people of God." She was the mother of George Neilson, Esq, Belleville, whose sudden death was noticed a few weeks ago in this paper. She survived her husband 19 years and is survived by three sons and 3 daughters, 66 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
