Mr. W. E. Barnett.
?/b?The hopes that were entertained for the recovery of Mr. W.E. Barnett were doomed to disappointment as his strength proved unequal to the drain made upon it by the disease, and on Sunday last he passed away in his 71th year. Deceased was born in Almonte in 1833, and spent nearly his whole lifetime here. For a number of years he conducted a door and sash factory and planing mill on the site upon which the Anchor Knitting mill now stands. Later he erected the building occupied by Mr. J.W. Crossley, and afterwards he went to Arnprior, returning to Almonte a few years ago. In 1858 he was married to Agnes Duncan, and to them a family of ten children were born - Edward, of Stettler, Alta; John, at Lacombe, Alta; Mrs. Jas. A. Turner, Peterboro; Mrs. D.H. McMurtry, Ottawa; Welland, Armstrong, B.C.; Mrs. W. E. Lech, Peterboro; V.A. Barnett, Toronto; Mrs. J. E. Lundy Portage la Prairie, Man; Mae, Peterboro, and Loyal at Seward, Sask. There are also five sisters and two brothers together with Mrs. Barnett still surviving. The funeral took place on Wednesday, 29th inst., to St. Paul's church and cemetery, and was largely attended. The pallbearers were Messrs. B. Rosamond, J. Young, A. Kenney, J. Meredith, M. Havey and C. Clarke. A number from outside points were here to attend the funeral.

_HASHTAG:

_HASHTAG:
Came to Lanark County between 1820 - 1822

Mortgage:
Although not proven this mortgage was likely for the building of a stone 2 storey farm house on lot 9 con10. The style and footprint of this stone house is very similar to that of the Duncan farmhouse built on lot 10 con 9. John was the second oldest son of Robert Duncan and Agnes Gifford. He married in 1838, bought the 200 acres of lot 9 Con 10 in 1839 and had a young family of two daughters. It is also believed that he worked closely with his father and older brother Robert to clear and crop the farmland they owed by this time. Unfortunately John died in October 1844 after his youngeres child, john Duncan was born in the spring of 1844. The cause of his death is not known but must of caused great upheaval with in the family. The is land record evidence that this farm was assumed by John Forgie althought there is record registering this sale on record. John Forgie sold the farm to a nephew Graham Gorgie for $2000. on 4 Jan 1853.
