?b?John McGill Is Called By Death?/b?
Respected Citizen of Pakenham Twp. Passes At Great Age of 92 Years.
There passed away at his home in Blakeney one of the most outstanding figures in the district, connecting the present generation with the pioneer life of nearly a century ago, in the person of John McGill who died Friday evening last. Born in Ireland in 1842, he came to this country with his parents at the age of seven years. The family resided at Bell's Corners during the year 1849 and came to Pakenham township in 1850, carving themselves a homestead out of the bush that covered the entire country at that time. This old McGill homestead is located on the 11th line of Pakenham and is still occupied by the family in the person of W.T. McGill well known throughout the district as a fox rancher of broad experience. The late Mr McGill resided on the homestead until 16 years ago, when he retired to reside in Blakeney, leaving the labours of over 60 years to a new generation.
Like most young men who pioneered in this part of Canada he worked in the lumber camps in his early days. He was and expert hewer with the broad axe and could recall many interesting experiences in connection with those exciting chapters of life in the forests along the Bonnechere and other tributaries of the Ottawa as well as lumber camps in the state of Michigan.
A veteran of the Fenian Raid trouble of 1866, Mr McGill enlisted with a detachment of the 42nd regiment that was recruited at Pakenham under the late Major O'Neill. He went to Cornwall and remained with the colours until the troops were disbanded. In his time he took an interest in municipal affairs of the township being one of the reeves of Pakenham, in the early days.
Married in 1870.
Mr McGill was married in Almonte in 1870 by Rev Mr Gordon to Miss Catherine McKay of Lanark Township, who survives him at the age of 85.
This remarkable couple having entered wedded life three years after the young Dominion was born, celebrated their golden jubilee in July, 1930, the occasion being marked by kindly felicitations from a wide circle of friends throughout the Ottawa Valley.
He leaves in addition to his wife, Three sons and three daughters, namely James of the 11th line of Pakenham, John of the 9th line of Pakenham; and Wm T. on the homestead; Mrs Alex Barker of Ramsay; Miss Susie at home and Miss Lou of the department of national defence, Ottawa. Of his own immediate family there is one brother, Alex of Almonte.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the late residence of deceased in Blakeney, where service were conducted by Rev George F. Warren of the United Church, Blakeney, assisted by the former pastor, Rev William Merrilees. Interment was made in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were Jas Bingham, Wesley McCann, James Barker, James Timmins, S.J. McAdam and George Smithson.
Old-time comrades of the Fenian Raid, Alex Tait, and Thomas Needham of Pakenham were in attendance.
The numerous floral offerings and exceptionally large number of those who attended attested to the esteem in which Mr McGill was held.
