?b?BLAKENEY NEWS?/b?
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.

LINES
Written on the death of Buchanan Paterson, who died
15th Feb., 1881.
Again Death's cold, dull hand His sceptre sword hath swayed ? Severed from this baleful land ? in a clayey grave hath laid A faithful friend and father ? A frame of life and love: Gone ? to dwell with "Our Father;" He lives with Him above.
Methinks, as upon thy face With weeping eyes I gaze, In that happy, holy place, I hear thee sing His praise. Though thou wast not rich in gold, Thou are rolled around with glory; Thou canst all mysteries unfold; No more thy mind shall worry.
We miss thee from our home, Around that happy hearth. Thou art where ? no more to roam ? Light and love ne'er knew of dearth. We miss thee ? the neighbourhood In which thou didst reside, Thy parental hand and brotherhood Ne'er more with us shall abide. "Who is he for whom our tears Flow'd and will not cease to flow. Full of honours and of years, In the dust his head lies low. It was one whose open face Did his inmost heart reveal, One who wore with meekest grace On his forehead heaven's broad seal." We mourn not as those to whom, Frail man, no hope is given ? Though thy body's in the tomb, Thy soul doth sound in heaven. Dust to dust and clay to clay, How prone and wont man is to stray, Fill not your mind with dismay Christ will save you if you may.

Mrs Buchanan Paterson Dead
About fours years ago, Mrs Buchanan Paterson, of Ramsay, was attacked with la grippe, from which she never fully recovered, although she was able to be around most of the time. Two weeks ago she went to visit her daughter, Mrs Jas Arthur, near Rosebank, and on Sunday last was taken seriously ill, but lingered on till Wednesday, when she quietly dropped into that sleep from which there is no awaking. The deceased was a daughter of the late James Stewart, of Ramsay, and sister to Mr. Robt. Stewart, of the seventh line, and was born in Ramsay, where she spent her whole life. She was married to Mr Buchanan Paterson, who died about fifteen years ago, the union being blessed with four children ? one son and three daughters ? all of whom are living. The deceased was of a quiet disposition, but will be remembered by many for her kindness of heart and her readiness to aid those who were in trouble of any kind.

?b?The Late Mr. James Stewart?/b?
Sooner or later death comes to us all, but to very few is given such a fullness of years as was enjoyed by Mr. James Stewart, one of Ramsay's pioneers who died on Thursday of last week, at the ripe old age of 87 years. Born in
Glasgow, Scotland, in the opening of the present century, he spent the earlier years of his life there as clerk in a warehouse. When about 21 years of age he emigrated to this country, coming as a passenger on the ship "Buchanan" in 1821, working his passage out by acting as clerk on the vessel. On landing he took up land, the property secured being that lot which includes "the Point," opposite Burnside, but this he afterward exchanged for the farm on which his life was spent. Being one of the first settlers in the township, he endured all the privations incident to a life in the backwoods, and many were the tales he could tell of the hardship suffered and obstacles overcome by himself and his wife (Helen Brown) in their efforts to establish a home for themselves on Canadian soil. While the Rideau canal was being built his spare time between seeding and harvest was spent working on it. On one occasion while away his wife disposed of a few bushels of surplus wheat they had for a dollar a bushel, the money received being the nucleus of it after years grew to be a comfortable income., and which was enjoyed by them until about ten years ago, when his wife died. The deceased was a man of sterling worth, whose word was as his bond, and whose sympathy and assistance were never withheld from those who were deserving it, and many are the kind and grateful memories that still linger in the hearts of those who received bounty at his hand. In the early years of Presbyterianism in Ramsay he cast in his lot with that denomination, and for many years was a member and elder of the old church at the eighth line,. when St. Andrew's church was established in Almonte he was one of the first elders appointed, a position which he held up to the time of his death, discharging the duties of that office with the same Christian earnestness and zeal which characterized his whole Christian life, preaching more eloquently than with word by his quiet and consistent walk in the footsteps of that Master whom he delighted to serve, and whose consolations he so much enjoyed during his declining years. In politics he was a staunch Reformer, but never took an active part in public matters. He was a man of robust constitution, and up to a few days of his death was going about as usual, attending to little duties around the house, but on Tuesday he was prostrated by what seemed to be a general breaking down of his system., and on Thursday, to him, the welcome summons came, bidding him join the bright throng above. The funeral on Saturday was very largely attended, evincing the high esteem in which the deceased was held by all who knew him.
