Popular And Respected Farmer of Lanark Twp. Daniel John "D.J." Thompson passed away at his Lanark Township home on Tuesday, Feb 26, after a few days' illness. Born in Lanark Township in 1873, he was a son of the late John Thompson and his wife, Mary Jane Bain. In 1899 he married Mary Ann Aitken at Rosetta and farmed in the Lloyd district of Lanark Township all the rest of his days. On April 19, 1949, Mr and Mrs Thompson were the centre of a happy family gathering when they celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding. Always interested and active in local affairs, Mr Thompson was sec'y-treas of S.S. No 12, Lanark, for 25 years prior to the formation of the School Area. He was a director of the L.T.A.S., for over 25 years and was correspondent for The Almonte Gazette for the Lloyd district since 1905. The late Mr Thompson had a good news sense and often went out of his way to obtain news items for the Gazette that were outside his own community. The 44-hour week had no place in Mr Thompson's life and his own industry and integrity should be an inspiration to all. Of his immediate family he is survived by two sisters, Miss Martha J. Thompson of Lanark Township; Edith, Mrs David Munro of Ramsay; three brothers, Thomas and James of Lanark Township, Welland of Birch Hill, Sask. One sister, Laura, Mrs Jas Affleck of Naseby, Sask., and one brother, Hilton, predeceased him. Also left to mourn are his wife and four daughters and eight sons; Alice, Mrs J.G. Cross of Edmonton; Irene, Mrs Earl Pretty; Isobel, Mrs Stewart Rodger; Laura, Mrs John G. Rintoul, all of Lanark Township; Harvey of Ottawa; Rev Leonard Thompson of MacLeod, Alta; Edwin, Allan, Malcolm, John and William, all of Ramsay; Bert on the homestead and 41 grandchildren. The funeral was held on Feb 28 from his late home to Rosetta United Church, of which he was a member. Rev Wm D. Reid officiated at the service which was very largely attended. The pallbearers were: Eldon Ireton, Milton Giles, Neil McIntosh, Graydon Arnott, Jos Tennant and Ronald Thompson. Interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery.
Daniel married Mary Ann Aitken in 1899. Mary (daughter of William Aitken and Alice Knapton) was born on 20 May 1879 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 21 Aug 1956 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 24 Aug 1956 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
