Mr Craig was born at Rosetta and was the only child of the late Adam Craig and Margaret McGonigal.

Mr and Mrs Craig having moved into Almonte nine years ago and purchased the present family home, corner of Elgin and Country streets, from the late Mrs John Cumming. For some years the late Mr Craig had acted as clerk of the session of Bethany Church and as secretary of the Ramsay Farmers' Club. He was a quiet man who made a point of attending to his own affairs, a good farmer who knew the meaning of hard, conscientious work and a fine neighbour. He will be greatly missed by many friends and former neighbours in Lanark, Ramsay, Almonte and other parts of the district. Mr Craig is survived by his wife, formerly Mary Ann Arnott, a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs James Arnott of Lanark Township and by a son and daughter, namely, A.R. Craig of Ramsay and Mrs J.B.
