Prominent Ramsay Farmer Dies While Driving Homeward
James Syme of Appleton Succumbs In His Cutter Wednesday Afternoon
His many friends in the Almonte district were deeply shocked, Wednesday evening, to learn of the sudden death in the afternoon of Mr James G. Syme of Appleton. Mr Syme was one of the best known farmers in this part of Lanark County having been a member of Ramsay Council for upwards of 28 years and having served his township as Reeve on the County Council of Lanark. Death came suddenly while Mr and Mrs Syme were driving to their home near Appleton after visiting his niece, Miss Kate Syme, of Blakeney, since Monday of this week of this week. While driving along the 11th line of Ramsay in his cutter, using the side of the road where enough snow and ice remained to make sleighing, the cutter upset, at a point between the homes of James Finlayson and Wm Neilson. The horse started back in the direction of Almonte and was stopped by Hubert Fee of Appleton who was driving home in an automobile. A motorist going in the direction of Almonte, drove Mr Syme back to the cutter. Mr Syme thanked him for the ride and seemed to be none the worse for the shaking up he sustained. He drove back to where Mrs Syme was waiting, with Mr Fee following in his car. It was decided that Mrs Syme would ride home with Mr Fee and that Mr Syme would drive ahead of them. He had barely started when the two in the car noticed him slump over in the seat of his cutter. He passed away without speaking again. Had he lived Mr Syme would have been 75 years old this Thursday. He and Mrs Syme celebrated their golden wedding last spring. Although going about as usual he had not been in the best of health lately but none of his friends had the slightest idea death was so close at hand. It is thought the shock of being thrown from the cutter may have brought on the seizure that proved fatal. Left to mourn him are his widow, formerly Miss Jessie Lockhart of Almonte, two sons, Hubert of Appleton and Peter in the West and one daughter Irene, a nurse in Receiving Hospital, Detroit. Mrs Ed James of Almonte, is a niece and Messrs Jack and Albert Syme are nephews. Mr Syme was one of the most popular residents of this section and his passing came as a great shock to his many friends. He was a familiar figure in Almonte and will be greatly missed by the people here. He had a kindly affable manner and preserved a cheerful outlook on life that made him a desirable man to meet. A more extended account of his life will be printed in the next issue of The Gazette. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at two o'clock.
