John Munro obituary
Posted 25 Apr 2018 by Patricia McCaw
Death Notice: Bancroft Times


"Once again, death, the Grim Reaper has passed our way and removed from this life on the last of the early pioneers of this district in the person of John Munro, a resident of Turriff. Born at Hall's Mills, Lanark County on Sept 3, 1850, a son of the late John Munro and Marion McKay, who immigrated from Dornoch, Sutherlandshire during the Scottish Clearances, he was one of a family of seven all of whom have predeceased him.

In the early summer of 1879 he came to Dungannon Township where he located on what was then called the second concession.

On February 24th, 1880, he married Mary Turriff, second daughter of John Turriff who was the first settler and for whom the settlement was later named.

Mrs. Munro passed away nine years ago. One daughter Mrs. A.W. Munro died ten years ago, while another, Mary died in infancy. Six children survive. John of Detlor, Alex. Daniel and Mrs. W.J. McCaw of Bancroft, Peter and Mrs. H.L. Black of Turriff, with whom he has spent, on the homestead, the last six years.

On Sunday morning, July 12th, he suffered a stroke, shortly after sinking into an unconscious condition, from which he never recovered, passing quietly away Wednesday afternoon.

In religion, a life long member of the Presbyterian faith, he was laid to rest in the cemetery at L'Amable beside his wife and daughter on Thursday afternoon. Mr. F. Wicks conducted the service at the home and church, while members of the Bancroft Masonic Lodge conducted a committal service."

John married Mary Dean Turriff on 24 Feb 1880 in Dungannon Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of John Turriff and Catherine McMunn) was born on 26 Jun 1852 in Lanark County, Canada West; died on 25 Feb 1922 in Bancroft, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1922 in St. Andrew's United Church Cemetery, Bancroft, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada.
