?b?Mrs James H. Wylie?/b?
The death occurred on Saturday, May 24th, at Burnside, Almonte, of Rebecca Lauderdale Maitland, widow of the late James Hamilton Wylie who passed peacefully away after an illness of about three weeks. The late Mrs Wylie was the third daughter of the late Captain James Maitland of Kilmarnock. She was educated in Scotland, returning to Canada in 1854. She was married two years later and came to Almonte, where she has resided ever since. Mr and Mrs Wylie celebrated their golden wedding in 1906, surrounded by the unbroken circle of their children. The late James Hamilton Wylie died in 1907 and his widow continued to live at "Burnside", so long and so widely famed for its old fashioned hospitality. Mrs Wylie contracted pneumonia about a year ago from which she never fully recovered, and which doubtless hastened her end. During her long life she endeared herself to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances by her unfailing Christian gentleness and goodness. Her death removes the last of that generation of Wylies who settled in Ramsay in 1827. She leaves surviving her three sons and four daughters. The funeral took place on Monday, May 26th, the services being conducted by the Rev S.G. Brown of the Presbyterian church assisted by the Rev Orr Bennet of Ottawa. The pallbearers were the three sons of the deceased, John B., James W., and Alex C. Wylie and the three sons-in-law, W.H. Wylie, the Rev Orr Bennet and Colonel W.A. Logie.

Rebecca married James Hamilton Wylie in 1856. James (son of James H. Wylie and Mary Hamilton) was born on 11 Jul 1825 in Perth, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 3 Jan 1907 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1907 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
