?b?Died in Ottawa?/b?
Mr John Reid died at Ottawa on Sunday last, aged 58 years. He had been ailing for some time but had returned to work at Lanark, and it was only about a week previous to his death that he was again compelled to return home. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. The late Mr Reid was born in Renfrew county, he being the son of the late Ephriam Reid, of Admaston. He was employed in Almonte as boss weaver in No 2 mill when Messrs Elliott and Shireffs were operating the mill. He left here about 1878 and went to Osceola where he conducted a mill for a time, afterwards returning to Almonte and taking charge of the Hunterville factory for Mr W. Croft, of Middleville. He afterward moved to Ottawa and for some time past has been superintending the Aberdeen Woolen Mills for Mr W.C. Caldwell, M.P.P., at Lanark. In the early '70's the late Mr Reid was married to Miss Marion Young, daughter of the late Wm Young, of Appleton, and six of the eight children born to them are still living. Of these three boys and one girl are with their mother at Ottawa, and one of the daughters, Mrs D. Chambers, lives in Toronto. The other son is in Dedham, Mass. The funeral took place from the C.P.R. station on the arrival of the 9.45 a.m. train on Wednesday morning to the eighth line cemetery. Besides members of his own family two brothers of deceased, George Reid, of Toronto, and Joseph, of Admaston, were present at the funeral.
