Called Home
After two months of almost continuous suffering Olive May Cochrane, youngest daughter of Mr Robert Cochrane, confectioner, passed away to the land where there is neither pain or sorrow on Tuesday morning, at the early age of ten years and eleven months. Early in the winter decease had an attack of grippe, but apparently recovered from that trouble. Two months ago she was vaccinated, and she became ill afterward, and remained so till her death, fever having followed, which for a time affected her brain. Meningitis developed about a week before her death. Miss Olive was a particularly bright and promising child, and her death is deeply regretted. The funeral took place today (Thursday) a 3 p.m., and was largely attended. We tender the bereaved family or sincere sympathy

?b?Robert Cochran?/b?
Mr Robert Cochran, and old and well known resident of Almonte, died on Tuesday at the age of 84. His health had been declining for some years. He was a native of Ramsay, born at the Cochran homestead on the 7th Concession of Ramsay, the son of Andrew Cochran and Isabella Erskine. He was married on January 18, 1874, to Janet Peacock, who predeceased him on September 28, 1922. Mr Cochran was a carpenter by trade, and carried on that business for many years. In the late portion of his active life he carried the mails to and from the station, but for that last ten years he had lived in retirement.

Mr Cochran, who had lived on Almonte for over sixty years, was a member of St John's Presbyterian church. He was deeply interested in church work, and throughout all his long life he and his wife were noted for the fact that they gave a tithe of all they possessed and more to the work of the church. He had many friends, and hew as a warm favourite. He had a good memory and his reminiscences were always interesting. In his declining years he was faithfully attended by his devoted daughter, Miss Lily Cochran, to whom there is extended much sympathy. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon from the Presbyterian church, the service being conducted by Rev J.D. McCrae. The pallbearers were six nephews Messrs W.J. Paul, John Yuill, Alex Cochran, Andrew Yuill, Wilbert Cochran and Ted Naismith.

?b?Mrs Robert Cochrane?/b?
The death occurred very suddenly late on Thursday evening of Mrs Robert Cochrane of Almonte a lady who belonged to a well known Lanark family, who herself was known personally to very many people. Mrs Cochrane who was 72 years of age, was around as usual around all day Thursday, and called on friends in the afternoon, She and her husband spent the early of the evening together, their daughter, Miss Lily Cochrane having gone to Carleton Place with the members of the Young Peoples Society of the Presbyterian Church. Abut 9 o'clock Mrs Cochrane retired, and a little later Mrs Cochrane went upstairs. She was coughing a good deal as the result of a cold, and she said to her husband. "I'm dying." Medical assistance was secured but Mrs Cochrane passed away within half and hour of an affection of the lungs. The late Mrs Cochrane was a native of the township of Lanark her home being near Rosetta. She was the daughter of Robert Peacock who came from Glasgow, Scotland, and settled there. He was an elder in Rosetta Congregational Church, and died about sixteen years ago. Mrs Cochrane's maiden name was Janet, but was called Jessie as is common in Scotch families. She was married in 1876 to Mr Robert Cochrane of Almonte, Rev William McKenzie of St John's Presbyterian Church performing the ceremony. All her life after that was spent in Almonte. She was prominent in church work and made very many friends who mourn her departure. Rev J.D. McCrae on Sunday paid a touching tribute to her work and influence for good in the community. Mrs Cochrane had four children. One of them Olive died when she was eleven years old. The others are Katie in Oregon, Nettie, (Mrs John Henry) who lives near Spencerville, and Lily Cochrane at home. Her husband survives her. The funeral took place on Saturday to the Presbyterian Cemetery on the 8th line Ramsay, Rev Mr McCrae conducting the service. There was a very large attendance of mourners. The pall bearers were: Messrs Andrew and Peter Cochrane, brothers-in-law, George Peacock of Lanark, a cousin, William Aitken, Angus Sutherland and John Neilson.

?b?Another of Ramsay's Early Settlers Gone.?/b?
Once more we are called on to discharge the most painful part of the duty devolving on caterers for the public in the way of news, that of recording the death of a well known and much respected inhabitant of this county, and whose expected death was briefly noticed last week. We feel satisfied that the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood will learn with regret of the death of Mr. Andrew Cochrane, sen., which took place at his residence, 7th con. Ramsay, on Sunday last. Mr. Cochrane was born in Glasgow in the year 1813, and at the age of 19 left Scotland alone to seek his fortune in Canada, For a year or two he remained in the vicinity of Montreal, but ultimately came to the township of Ramsay, and settled in 1836 on the homestead where he resided continuously until his death. He married the year of his settlement, and by his wife, who has now been dead good many years, he had eleven children, nine of whom are now living. He took a very warm interest in the Presbyterian Church on the 8th line whilst it existed there. His last illness extended over period of seven weeks, and was paralysis, which held him so fast that for eighteen days before his death he could not eat, and gradually grew weaker until Sunday afternoon last at 3:30, when he quietly passed away without a struggle. The deceased was a thorough Reformer, and felt considerable interest in the success of Reform principles. The funeral took place on Tuesday last, and was very largely attended. On behalf of a very large number of our readers, and the inhabitants generally, we tender the family their deep sympathy.
