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.

Another Link Broken
This week it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of another of Canada's veteran pioneers in the person of Mr Peter Young, of Ramsay, which took place on Thursday evening last, at his late residence on the 7th line. Up to a week before his death he had been in his usual health, and gave promise of living many years; but a cold was contacted which gradually wore out the aged fellow; and although surrounded by every comfort, and supplied with everything that loving hearts and willing hands could bestow, yet the silken cord was snapped asunder, and the spirit returned to God who gave it, again verifying the truthfulness of the old adage, "the young may die, but old must." By death Mr Young, Ramsay loses one of its most highly esteemed residents and the news of his demise will be received with feelings of sorrow and regret by an unusually large circle of friends, as few men in this district were better or more favourably known than deceased. Mr Young was born at Braehead, near Glasgow, Scotland, on October 9th, 1804, and was consequently in his 82nd year when he died. At the age of ten years he formed the acquaintance of Jeanie Erskine, then living in Glasgow. That acquaintanceship grew, and ripened into marriage on November 14th, 1828, the ceremony being performed by Rev John Bar, of Dovehill. In the spring of 1832 Mr Young came to Canada and settled on his farm in the township of Ramsay, where, with the exception of one year, he lived continuously till death, and brought up his large family of seven sons and four daughters, all of whom, with their mother, survive to mourn his loss, and all the more on account of its being the first break in the family. The family are as follows; Sons ? William, Alex E., Peter, John, Robert, Stephen, and Andrew; daughters ? Mrs John McCarter; Mrs Angus Sutherland, Mrs H. Cavers, and Mrs John McFarlane. At the funeral, which took place on Saturday last, and was very largely attended, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the seven sons acted as pall-bearers, it having been their wish to lay in their last resting-place the remains of their venerable father ? a sight we never witness before, and are not likely to again. All the members of the family are comfortably situated, all are married and living in homes of their own, either in Almonte or within a very few miles of it, and all can meet together on an hour's notice. Mr and Mrs Young celebrated their golden wedding seven years ago last November, with nearly all their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren around them, which was quite a large company, and very comforting to the old couple. In many respected the late Mr Young was no ordinary man. He had a commanding appearance, stood over six feet high, and in his younger days possessed great physical strength. For many years, however, although always enjoying excellent health, he had been feeble in body; but, though feeble in body, he was not in mind. He had a strong, determined will and a clear, vigorous, inventive intellect. Fertile in resources, and strong in selfreliance, he was ever master of the occasion ? sure, like the old Roman general, to "find a way or make one" to accomplish his purpose. He was an enthusiastic Scotchman, of the most hospitable kind, and always retained a strong love for the land of his nativity. In religious matters he was a consistent Presbyterian, and in politics a sound Reformer, although he never took a very active part in the latter. But he has gone to his rest. he bore his last illness with great patience and resignation, and died with a strong and vivid hope of a blessed future.

Obit. Mrs Peter Young
One by one the old settlers of Ramsay have been passing away to their long rest, until very few of those who settled her in the early years of this century are left. One of the earliest, Mrs Peter Young, of the 7th line Ramsay, passed away last Monday morning. She was the relict of the late Peter Young, who died in 1886. Both Mr and Mrs Young died in their 82nd year. Mrs Young's maiden name was Jean Erskine. She was born in Glasgow on Jan 14, 1810, and was married to Mr Young in that city. In 1832 the came to Ramsay, and resided in that township continuously to the time of their death. Mr and Mrs Young had seven sons and four daughter, all of whom are living and settled in comfortable homes of their own. The sons are William, Peter, John, Robert and Andrew, living in Almonte; Alexander, in Toronto; and Stephen, on the homestead. The daughters are Mrs John McCarter, Mrs Angus Sutherland, Mrs Henry Cavers and Mrs John McFarlane. Mrs Young enjoyed good health until she fell a few years ago and injured herself. She was able to move about the house until about two weeks ago. Her death was caused by a general break-up of the system through old age. Mrs Young was of a very gentle and kind disposition, and was greatly beloved by all who knew her. Both she and her husband were well-known and respected on account of their genial nature, and many a pleasant evening was spent under their hospitable roof that will long be remembered by their friends and neighbours. The large cortege that followed her remains to the 8th line cemetery on Wednesday showed the high esteem in which the deceased and her family are held in the community. Rev R. Knowles, of Pembroke, was the officiating clergyman, and six sons of the deceased were the pallbearers.
