?b?Mrs Daniel Bain?/b?
The widow of the late Daniel Bain, who passed peacefully to her reward on June 19th, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr John Thompson, Lanark, at the good old age of 93, was born at Islay, Scotland, and with her parents sailed when quite young to Canada by the ship "Timberlaine," a voyage which took them almost eight weeks. They settled in Western Ontario, and from there she was married and moved with her husband to Ramsay, when the forest trees covered almost everything. They had many hardships to contend with in the early days, but they worked cheerfully on and built up for themselves a comfortable home, and lived to see the country around rise to prosperity. Seven children were born to them, five of whom are still living, Thirty-seven years ago death claimed her partner. She still remained with her youngest son at the old home when death also claimed him eight years ago. Then she spent the remaining years at her son-in-law's. Although 93 years of age her mind was remarkably bright. She was a friend and sympathizer among the sick, and her many kind acts will not easily be forgotten. The funeral was largely attended to the eighth line cemetery, where so many of Ramsay's earliest settlers are laid to rest.
