Mrs John L. Gemmill died at the home of her youngest son, Mr George M. Gemmill, Union Street, Almonte on Sunday. She was in her 79th year and had been in ill-health for a considerable time. Her maiden name was Mary Murray and she was born near Smiths Falls. After her marriage to Mr Gemmill she lived for short period at Gananoque and Lynn. Forty-two years ago they came to Almonte and were only a few months here when Mr Gemmill died, his widow being left with four young children, the youngest a child in arms. Two of these survive, Robert at Fort William, and George at Almonte. Margaret died when she was 21 and John was killed in a railway train accident at Depot Harbour. Mrs Gemmill also leaves one sister, Miss Margaret Murray, who resides at Almonte Avenue, Grand Forks, N.D. The funeral took place on Tuesday from her son's home to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev A.J. Terrill officiated and members of Trinity Church choir officiated. Mrs Gordon Fraser played the accompaniments. The pallbearers were Messrs Jas Smith, Gordon Fraser, M.R. Young, F.A.C. Darling, Jas Moncur and Alex Tosh. The chief mourners at the funeral, which was largely attended, were her two sons, Robert and George. There was a large number of floral tokens of sympathy.
