An Old Resident Dead
For some time Mr Wm Tosh has been going down hill physically, but with wonderful pluck for one of his years he kept moving about until Saturday last, when he was compelled to give in and take to his bed. It was only for a short time, however, as on Wednesday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock worn out nature gave up the unequal struggle and he quietly passed away. Mr Tosh was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1832, when he was fourteen years of age, He worked for a time with the late Grenville Toshack, and afterwards farmed on his own account for several years on the ninth line of Ramsay. He then gave up farming and moved into town and worked for ten years with Messrs L. & G. Northrup, and the next two decades of his life were spent in the employ of Mr Jas H. Wylie. He was appointed caretaker of the town hall about thirteen years ago, and spent ten years at that position. The last three years he has enjoyed rest from his work. He was thrice married ? His first wife being Johanna Carswell, his second Clementine Syme, and his third Matilda Dudgeon, who survives him. In the first family there were five children ? Helen (Mrs Platt) and Margaret (Mrs Haber), of New Jersey; Jennie (Mrs Buchanan), Winnipeg; Thomas, Pakenham; Isabella (Mrs W. Cannon) Ramsay. Those of the second family are: Peter, of Pierson, Man.; R.C., of Ramsay; Jessie (Mrs W. Coxford), Almonte; Annie (Mrs W. Spalding), Perth; Agnes (Mrs Alex Clarke) Arnprior; William, of British Columbia; John, Wawanesa, Man.; James, Almonte and three died when young. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, and, notwithstanding the exceeding cold quite a number paid a last token of respect to the deceased.

DEATHS
In Ramsay, April 13th, Peter Thompson Syme, in his 96th year.

1896, Friday April 17, The Almonte Gazette page 8
Death of a Ramsay Pioneer and a Nonagenarian
Mr Peter T. Syme, of the 10th line of Ramsay, one of the early settlers of the township and one of its oldest citizens, passed away on Monday evening last, in his 96th year. The venerable gentleman had the use of all his faculties to a wonderful extant almost to the last. He enjoyed splendid health until June of last year, when he suffered from two strokes of paralysis; and some months ago a gangrenous trouble of the foot set in. The aged frame wore away by degrees till Monday, when he quietly fell into the sleep that knows no waking this side of the grave. The late Peter Thompson Syme was born in Boagles, Scotland, in June, 1800. When a boy he learned the trade of a carpenter in the old land. In 1833 he came to Canada. He married Jessie McLaren in Montreal on his arrival from Scotland, and they settled in Ramsay the same year, taking the farm on the tenth line now owned by Lieut-Col Gemmill and occupied by Mr John McPhail. After remaining there for some years Mr Syme purchased the present homestead, and lived there the balance of his long life. Mrs Syme died twenty-nine years ago. Eleven children were born to them, ten of whom survive, viz., Miss Isabella and Peter T. Syme, on the homestead; Mrs John Drynan, Almonte; Mrs A. Rose, Mrs Jas. Woodward, Mrs James Laws and Mrs John McIntyre, of Vernon Centre, N.Y.; Mrs Andrew Graham and James G. Syme, of Ramsay; and John Syme, of Fitzroy. Deceased was a good farmer, and succeeded in amassing a fair share of this world's goods. In religion he was a Presbyterian, and in politics a pronounced Reformer. He never sought public office of any kind. The remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon, when a large number were present to pay the final tribute to respect to one who was for over sixty years identified with the affairs of this neighbourhood.
