1896, Friday April 17, The Almonte Gazette page 8
Death of a Ramsay Pioneer and a Nonagenarian
Mr Peter T. Syme, of the 10th line of Ramsay, one of the early settlers of the township and one of its oldest citizens, passed away on Monday evening last, in his 96th year. The venerable gentleman had the use of all his faculties to a wonderful extant almost to the last. He enjoyed splendid health until June of last year, when he suffered from two strokes of paralysis; and some months ago a gangrenous trouble of the foot set in. The aged frame wore away by degrees till Monday, when he quietly fell into the sleep that knows no waking this side of the grave. The late Peter Thompson Syme was born in Boagles, Scotland, in June, 1800. When a boy he learned the trade of a carpenter in the old land. In 1833 he came to Canada. He married Jessie McLaren in Montreal on his arrival from Scotland, and they settled in Ramsay the same year, taking the farm on the tenth line now owned by Lieut-Col Gemmill and occupied by Mr John McPhail. After remaining there for some years Mr Syme purchased the present homestead, and lived there the balance of his long life. Mrs Syme died twenty-nine years ago. Eleven children were born to them, ten of whom survive, viz., Miss Isabella and Peter T. Syme, on the homestead; Mrs John Drynan, Almonte; Mrs A. Rose, Mrs Jas. Woodward, Mrs James Laws and Mrs John McIntyre, of Vernon Centre, N.Y.; Mrs Andrew Graham and James G. Syme, of Ramsay; and John Syme, of Fitzroy. Deceased was a good farmer, and succeeded in amassing a fair share of this world's goods. In religion he was a Presbyterian, and in politics a pronounced Reformer. He never sought public office of any kind. The remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon, when a large number were present to pay the final tribute to respect to one who was for over sixty years identified with the affairs of this neighbourhood.
