    Last Thursday this section lost one of its pioneer settlers in the person of the late Mr John Arthur, sr. The deceased was a man possessed of a rugged constitution and did more hard work in his life time than most men. He was born in Ireland near Coleranne in 1822, and left there for Philadelphia in 1851. After spending ten years in the States he came to Canada and was a resident of Almonte for six years, two of which he was watchman for the late Mr James Rosamond. In 1867 he moved to what was known as the Ryan farm which he cleared and rendered on of the best in the neighbourhood. In 1888 he sold his farm to his son, James and removed to the one adjoining Rosebank on the tenth line where he resided until his death. He married Margaret Crow, who survives him, in the year 1845. His family still living are (Margaret) Mrs Slater, of Waskada, Man, Letitia and Annie, who reside with their aged mother, John and James, of Ramsay, and Samuel of Pakenham. Miss Elizabeth Arthur, of Carleton Place, is a sister and Mr Thomas Arthur, of Appleton, is a brother of the deceased. He was a man of sterling character, opposed to wrong doing in any form, honest and upright in the truest sense of the term, and set a good example to those around him. He was confined to his bed for several months but never murmured or complained. He had no dread of death, his last words being "I am glad to go home to be with my many friends." The funeral, which took place on Saturday, was very large, showing that the deceased had a very large circle of friends who wished to pay their last tribute of respect. The aged widow and the bereaved ones have the sympathy of the community. The pallbearers were Messrs Thomas Lawrie, John Stewart, Robert Stewart, Jas McDougall, Abraham Bingham and William Young.

    John married Martha Crow in 1845. Martha was born on 5 Apr 1825 in County Antrim, Ulster Province, Northern Ireland; died on 26 Apr 1906 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
