?b?Another of Ramsay's Early Settlers Gone.?/b?
Once more we are called on to discharge the most painful part of the duty devolving on caterers for the public in the way of news, that of recording the death of a well known and much respected inhabitant of this county, and whose expected death was briefly noticed last week. We feel satisfied that the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood will learn with regret of the death of Mr. Andrew Cochrane, sen., which took place at his residence, 7th con. Ramsay, on Sunday last. Mr. Cochrane was born in Glasgow in the year 1813, and at the age of 19 left Scotland alone to seek his fortune in Canada, For a year or two he remained in the vicinity of Montreal, but ultimately came to the township of Ramsay, and settled in 1836 on the homestead where he resided continuously until his death. He married the year of his settlement, and by his wife, who has now been dead good many years, he had eleven children, nine of whom are now living. He took a very warm interest in the Presbyterian Church on the 8th line whilst it existed there. His last illness extended over period of seven weeks, and was paralysis, which held him so fast that for eighteen days before his death he could not eat, and gradually grew weaker until Sunday afternoon last at 3:30, when he quietly passed away without a struggle. The deceased was a thorough Reformer, and felt considerable interest in the success of Reform principles. The funeral took place on Tuesday last, and was very largely attended. On behalf of a very large number of our readers, and the inhabitants generally, we tender the family their deep sympathy.
