Obit.? Mr Angus Sutherland
The serious illness of Mr Angus Sutherland, sr., was mentioned in last week's Gazette, but scarcely had the paper gone to press ere the disease had accomplished its work and his spirit had returned to Him who gave it. Though somewhat better on Thursday morning Mr Sutherland grew worse during the day, and the doctor was sent for, and while he was there, Mr Sutherland, who was suffering severe pain, arose from his chair and walked around the room, and almost the moment he resumed his seat his heart ceased to beat, and without a word of a struggle he was at rest. The late Mr Sutherland was the youngest son of Mr Angus Sutherland, who came to Canada and settled in Ramsay in 1822 on the farm upon which deceased was born, lived and died. Forty-one years ago last month he was married to Margaret Young, daughter of the late Peter Young, of Ramsay, and to them six children were born, four sons ? Angus, Peter, David and Alex ? and two daughters ? Mrs Dr. Young, of Merrickville, and Miss Jean, at home. These with Mrs Sutherland, are still living, Mr Sutherland's death being the first break in the circle. Besides these there are two brothers, Messrs. William and John Sutherland, third line Ramsay, and two sisters, Mrs Jas Sutherland, of Dacre, and Mrs Wm McEwen, of Ramsay. The funeral on Monday was a fitting tribute to one who so fully enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him, and about whom no one had anything but good to say. Kind-hearted, generous, fair and honest, and possessed of a clear head and good judgement, he was called upon by his neighbours to settle disputes, and such faith had they in him that whatever his judgement might be it was unquestioningly accepted. He was a consistent member of St John's congregation in town for a number of years. The pallbearers at the funeral were the four sons of the deceased, his son-in- law, Dr. Young, and his brother-in-law, Mr Jas Sutherland. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire community in their sorrow.

Angus married Margaret Young in 1863. Margaret (daughter of Peter Young and Jean Erskine) was born on 21 Jan 1837 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 29 Oct 1914 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1914 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

DEATH'S TOLL
Obit. ? Mrs A. Sutherland, sr.
In last week's Gazette mere mention was made of the death of Mrs Angus Sutherland, sr., who has passed away that morning after a year's suffering from a painful disease. The funeral took place on Saturday from her home with her son, Mr P.Y. Sutherland, to the eighth line cemetery, where her remains were laid beside those of her husband, who had predeceased her a little over ten years ago. The late Mrs Sutherland was a daughter of the late Peter Young, and was born on the farm on the seventh line, of Ramsay owned by Mr Steen Young before his removal to Almonte. She was married in 1863 to Mr Angus Sutherland, and went with him to the home where both spent the balance of their lives. The following family is still living: Angus on the farm adjoining the homestead; Peter Y., on the homestead, and with whom the mother had lived; David, in Batavia, Ill.; Jennie (Mrs Wm M. Young) of Detroit; Maggie, (Mrs (Dr.) Young), Smith Falls; and Alex., of New Britain, Conn. Brother and sisters of the deceased were William, Mrs John McCarter, A.E., Peter C., John, Mrs Cavers, Stephen, Robert, Andrew and Mrs John McFarlane. Of these the first three and Mrs Cavers are dead. All the children of Mrs Sutherland were present at the funeral except David and Alex., both of whom were home to see their mother shortly before she passed away. Among the friends from a distance were Mr Angus Sutherland from Eganville and Mr Robt. Young of Ottawa. The late Mrs Sutherland was a member of the Presbyterian church for a great many years and the pallbearers were six of the session of which her son, Mr Angus Sutherland, is a valued member. Mrs Sutherland was a women of strong physique, and cheerfully gave of her strength to help and encourage friends or neighbours. But was in her home amongst her family where the brightness and grace of her beautiful life shone at its best.

The Late William Young
In the last week's Gazette mention was made of the death of Mr Wm Young, of the 10th line of Ramsay, he having passed away on Thursday morning January 5th, at the advanced age of 87 years. The late Mr Young was born in 1827 at Brae Head, in the parish of Kilbride, Scotland. He was a son of the late Robt. Young, who came to Canada in 1832, and who afterward settled upon the farm latterly owned by Mr P.J. Young, on the 9th line. Here Mr Wm Young lived until 1857, when he was married to Miss Marion Nicholson, a daughter of the late Alex. Nicholson of Ramsay, and went to the farm, "Brae Head," upon which he spent the balance of his life. A family of nine children, seven sons and two daughters, were born to them, the only break in the family being the death of Dr. John Young, who died suddenly at Smiths Falls, on Jan. 17th, 1901. The others are Robert W., on the homestead, Alex N., in Ottawa; William M., in Detroit, Mich,; Rev Stephen, at Lanigan Sask.; Peter A., at Crystal City, Man.; Rev Henry at Seven Person, Alta.; George at home; Jessie (Mrs T.G. Wilson), Arnprior, and Annie (Mrs P.Y. Sutherland), in Ramsay. Mrs Young is also living, and is over eighty years, and is more bright and active than many people ten or fifteen years her junior. Of the late Mr Young brothers and sisters there are still living, Mr John Young, of Almonte; Rev Stephen Young, of Clifford; Mr P.J. Young, of Almonte; Mrs Foster, at Casselman, and Mrs Robt. Buckham of Ottawa, Mrs Toshack and Mrs G. Buckham are dead. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, and had it not been for the extremely inclement weather, it would have been one of the largest if not the very largest, ever seen in Ramsay township. As it was, the cortege was almost a mile long and was a splendid tribute to the memory of the deceased. The services at the home and at the cemetery were conducted by Rev S.G. Brown. The pallbearers were fellow-members of the session -- Messrs. A.M. Greig, R. Young (Ottawa), D. Stewart, Angus Sutherland, J.D. Robertson and Jas McLeod. Friends from a distance who attended the funeral were Mr Wm Young, of Detroit, Rev Stephen Young from Clifford, Ont., Messrs Alex N. Young and Robt. Young of Ottawa, Messrs John and Wm Young and Mrs Andrew Young, Mr and Mrs T.G. Wilson and Mr and Mrs W. Cavers from Arnprior, and Mr Geo Buckham from Torbolton. The late Mr Young was of a very quiet disposition, and was a man of few words. He was a man of strong convictions, and when he had taken a position regarding any question of right or wrong he was always found on what he believed to be the right side, and it required a strong argument to induce him to change his decision. While attending the services in the Free church at the eighth line he was ordained an elder of that congregation during the pastorate of the late Rev Wm McKenzie, and when the congregation removed to St John's church, about 1867, he was retained in that position, which he held until his death. After the death of Mr Watson several months ago, Mr and Mrs Young were the oldest couple living, of those who were among the earliest members of St John's church. Mr Young was for about twenty years superintendent of what was known as the Green Bush Sunday school, retaining the position until, in Rev Knowles' time, it was removed to Blakeney. A good neighbour, a kind friend, a ready sympathizer and willing helper in trouble, his passing has removed another of the fast-disappearing links which has bound the present with the past, and in the passing of whom there is distinct loss to the community.

William married Marion Nicholson in 1857. Marion (daughter of Alexander Nicholson and Janet "Jessie" McIntosh) was born in 1833 in Ontario, Canada; died on 11 Apr 1918 in Blakeney, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

An Octegenarian at Rest.
When the word spread abroad a few days ago that Mrs. Wm. Young of the tenth line of Ramsay, was seriously ill of pneumonia, hope were expressed by many that she might recover, but such was not to be, and this Thursday morning at six o'clock, she passed peacefully away to enter the home beyond, in her 85th year. The late Mrs. Young was Marion Nicholson, a daughter of the late Alexander Nicholson of Ramsay, and she was married to Mr. Wm. Young in 1857 and went to "Brae Head" farm where they lived until January 7th, 1914, when Mr. Young died. Nine children were born to them, seven sons and two daughters, and with one exception, that of Dr. John Young, who died suddenly at Smiths Falls on January 17th, 1901, the family circle is still intact. Those who are living are Robt. W., on the homestead; Alex. N., in Ottawa; Wm. M., at Detroit, Mich.; Rev. Stephen at Saskatoon, Sask.; Peter A., of Crystal City, Man., (at present at Tampa, Florida); Rev. Henry at Morningside, Alta.; Geo., at home; Jessie (Mrs. T.G. Wilson), Arnprior; Annie (Mrs. P. Y. Sutherland), Ramsay. There are 17 grandchildren still living. The late Mrs. Young was a Presbyterian, and was a member of St. John's church in Almonte, prior to which she was connected with the eighth line church when Rev. Mr. Smith was the minister. There she was a regular attendant at the services at a time when to do so meant much more of a sacrifice of comfort and ease than it does today, and when she became an attender of St. John's church she was just as earnest and faithful until declining years and relaxing energy rendered it impossible for her to continue so consistent a course. The funeral will take place on Saturday, 13th inst., from the residence of her son, Robt. W. Young, to the eight line cemetery.
