The Late George Paterson
The funeral of the late Geo. Paterson was held on Thursday afternoon in the Presbyterian church and interment was made in the Presbyterian cemetery. The services in the church and at the grave were conducted by Rev S.G. Brown, and were attended by a large number of people who had known and respected Mr Paterson during his lifetime. A pleasing feature of the service was the singing of a most appropriate solo by Miss Maconachie. Upon the lips of many who attended the funeral were heard words of esteem and appreciation. The late Mr Paterson was born in Scotland, and came to Canada over sixty years ago. His father settled on a farm in Ramsay, and he came to Almonte, and clerked for Mr Wylie. Later on he entered business himself and kept a store in a building which stood where Mr. H.H. Cole's stands and afterwards in a building further down Mill street, where he continued business until he sold to Messrs. Conn and West, on account of failing health. It is a question if there was ever a business man in Almonte whose reputation for probity and honesty was as widespread as was his, or whose dealings with the public influenced more people to come here to do their trading. He was for many years an elder in the Presbyterian church, always discharging the duties of that office faithfully and well until failing health prevented a continuance thereof.

George married Mary Agnes Snedden on 17 Sep 1884 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of James Snedden and Catherine Cochran Snedden) was born on 21 Jul 1858 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 17 Sep 1920 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
