?b?Mrs. Ross Craig Passes After Long Illness?/b?
One of the largest funerals to be held in the United Church for many years was that of Mrs. Ross Craig who died on Thursday, March 17 at the Shail Nursing Home, following 26 years of ill health. She was in her 55th year. Born on a farm on the Clayton Road, Ramsay Township in 1905, Annie May Reid was a daughter of the late John R. Reid and his wife, Margaret McKay of Middleville. She was educated at the rural school, Almonte High School and in 1925 graduated from Kemptville Agricultural School. In 1926 she married Mr. Allan Ross Craig, one of the well known farmers of this district and went to live with him on the 11th line of Ramsay. In addition to her husband she is survived by her mother who has lived in Almonte for a good many years, and by three daughters: Dorothy (Mrs. Lyle Reid) Almonte; Jean (Mrs. Keith Willows) Innisville and Miss Lois, in Ottawa. There are also two sisters, Mrs. Raymond Kemp and Mrs. Stuart Whyte of Ramsayville; two grandchildren, Shirley and Barry Willows. One brother, Robert, died in childhood. Mrs. Craig was stricken with an illness 26 years ago that eventually made her an invalid confined to a wheel chair. She spent the last three years of her life in a nursing home. But in spite of being confined to her home and the pain she suffered she was always remarkably bright and cheerful; so much so that people enjoyed visiting her.

The body rested at the Kerry-Scott Funeral Home, Elgin Street until 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon when it was removed to the United Church which is located just across the street. The pastor, Rev. J. Ray Anderson, conducted a service in which he spoke words of comfort to the mourners basing his remarks on passages from the Bible, particularly from Job and the Apostle Paul. There was almost a full choir and the flowers around the altar rail were very beautiful. Hymns sung were "What a Friend we have in Jesus," and "Abide With Me." Pallbearers were three nephews, Messrs; John Whyte, Donald Kemp and Wilfred Neilson and Messrs; Morden Duncan, Arthur MacNicol and Eric Munro. Honorary Pallbearers were members of the session of the church of which Mr. Craig had long been a member. Among the many tributes were flowers from the Bank of Canada, Ottawa; Carleton Place Public School Board; the neighbors and Circle NO. 3 Almonte United W.A.; and in lieu of flowers, donations were given to the British and Foreign Bible Society from the session of Almonte United Church; W. A. of Boyd's United Church and Mr. And Mrs. Arthur McNichol in memory of the deceased. Interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery
