The C.C. Says: Mr Robert Anderson died at his residence on Bell Street on New Year's morning. Until the last two years he enjoyed the most perfect health, being able up to that period to defend the strong citadel of his heart against all the potentates of death, but at that time grippe made and impression, and slowly consumed the splendid constitution. The deceased was born at Neilston, Renfrewshire, Scotland, in 1816, where his parents, Wm Anderson and Margaret McFarlane, lived and died, each at the ripe old age and highly esteemed by all who were intimately acquainted with them. In his early years Mr Anderson studied medicine some time. But that profession not being to his liking he gave it up. and having a natural aptitude for drawing and designing, concluded to study the art of pattern drawing for the printer's use in the stamping of designs upon calico fabrics. Having served his apprenticeship successfully he adopted the calling as a means for earning a livelihood. He crossed the Atlantic in 1848 in the ship "Favorite," being nine weeks on the voyage, and came to Almonte, where his brother Matthew had already settled. Not finding employment in his profession in Almonte he engaged with the late William Peden, of Carleton Place, as a general book-keeper and salesman Severing his connection with Mr Peden he drifted back to Almonte and started in business for himself which he conducted for a number of years. Disposing of his business in Almonte, he returned to Carleton Place and lived here for about thirty years. In December 1854, he married Catherine, third daughter of the late Robert McFarlane of Almonte. The widow, three daughters namely, Mrs Adam Graham, of Peterboro, Mrs Hugh M. Williams, and Mrs Dr. Fisher, of Carleton Place, and two sons, William of Havelock, and Robert M., of Ottawa, remain to mourn his loss. Mr Anderson lived to a good old age and was able to enjoy, as he did most thoroughly, the companionship of his devoted partner to the last, and to see his children thriving wonderfully. He was often called on to do the engrossing of public documents, and took pleasure in responding, invariably achieving works of art. His later years were spent largely in the loved seclusion of his cosy home, where the charms of his gracious personality never failed to delight all who pass under his influence.

Robert married Catherine McFarlene in Dec 1854. Catherine (daughter of Robert McFarlane and Catherine McMillan) was born in 1830 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
