Ottawa Citizen - November 13, 1914 - Mr. William Madden
Again the Angel of Death has visited Ramsay Township, this time has claimed Mr. William Richard Madden, who passed away very peacefully at his home on Saturday evening at five o'clock. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Mr. John Madden, one of the pioneers of the township, who passed from our midst twenty-three years ago. William remained on the homestead. Thirty-three years ago, he married Miss Margaret Powell of Arnprior and to them eight children were born, seven girls and one boy, who is the youngest. They are Mrs. William Dillon, Braeside, Mrs. Frank O'Brien, Carleton Place, Margaret, Winnifred, Laura and William John, at home, Etta of the N. Bawlf Grain Exchange, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Maude of the Pembroke Public School. He is survived by all these and his little niece, Marjorie, also three sisters, Mrs. Nicholas Bawlf, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Mrs. Ellen Enright, Tacoma, Washington and Mrs. Mary McKay, Seattle, Washington. His only brother, Timothy, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, predeceased him thirteen years ago.
The late Mr. Madden was subject to paralytic strokes and had been ailing for about a year. The third one came upon him Wednesday afternoon, and for three days he rallied "until the golden gates were opened and a gentle voice said 'Come'." He bore his long suffering very patiently and his demise at the age of sixty-seven is mourned by all who knew him, for he was a kind and loving husband and father, a true friend and a good neighbor.
His funeral, which was largely attended, took place from his late residence, 12th Line of Ramsay, to St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Almonte on Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, thence to the ninth line cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. James Galvin, Ed Kennedy, Patrick Kelly, William O'Brien, George O'Brien and Robert Powell. Mrs. Madden and family have the deepest sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.
William married Loretta Marie Hogan on 24 Nov 1926. Loretta (daughter of Michael Joseph Hogan and Hannah Teresa Tims) was born on 2 Feb 1896; died on 13 Oct 1959; was buried in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
