    The End Of A Useful Life
    A Short Sketch of the Life of the Late Mr Andrew Toshack, Written by one of His Most Intimate Friends
    "Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all her sons away."
    On Sabbath morning, 8th April, our sainted brother, Mr Andrew Toshack, received the summons to go up higher. Mr Toshack was born in 1807, and sailed from Glasgow for this country, with the rest of his father's family, in his 14th year. At the age of 26 he married Christina Anderson, daughter of the late Mr William Anderson, and settled on the farm in Ramsay on which he died. In the summer of 1834 the Presbyterian church on the 8th line was built, and of it Mr Toshack became a member. About the same time, or a little later, a Sabbath School was opened at Bennie's Corners. Of this school Mr Toshack was appointed Superintendent, and remained most faithfully at his post for the long period of fifty-two years. We are not sure of the year in which he became an elder, but we infer from certain known dates that it must have been about the some time the Sabbath School was opened. Mr Toshack was a living witness of the truth of the religion he professed. He was a man who did the will of God, and had a deep, abiding consciousness that the doctrine which he believed was really of God. He needed not higher argument than his own experience. Though we mourn his loss, we rejoice in his victory. Faithful unto death, he has, through Him who loved him, won the battle and received the crown. For 13 years we were associated with him in the Sabbath School and in the weekly prayer meeting, and for some 28 years in the eldership, yet we fail to remember a word or deed on his part inconsistent with his Christian profession. Having an intimate acquaintance with Scripture, a heart imbued with love of the truth, good natural ability, and considerable fluency of expression, he was well qualified to fill these positions, and ever ready to improve an opportunity to promote the cause he had so much at heart. Many are the seeds of truth he has sown in the hearts of the young people around Bennie's Corners. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." With his family we deeply sympathize, especially with his aged widow. May God, her Guide and Comforter, and finally grant her an abundant entrance into His everlasting kingdom. Before closing we may be allowed to say that the Toshack family, when it came out to this country, consisted of father and mother, seven sons and two daughters. They are all gone now but one son, Eneas, and one daughter, Mrs Cram, who is at present lying very ill at her home in Carleton Place.

Christina (daughter of William Anderson and Margaret McFarlene) was born in 1815 in Canada; died in 1847 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1847 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
