Obit - Mr. B. James.
On the very day upon which he rounded out his 83rd year, Mr. Benjamin James of Ramsay passed away, on Wednesday afternoon, he having been born and having spent his whole long life on the same farm. About sixty years ago he and his life partner, Ellen Bowland, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, but three years later she was called away, and her aged husband completed his life journey alone. His son, Mr. Thos. E. James, is on the homestead farm, and with him his father has had his home since his years of activity ceased. To Mr, and Mrs. James a family of nine, children were born, all of whom are still living but William and Nathaniel, both of whom died in the west. Those living are Mrs. Wm. Robertson in Bathgate, N.D. ; Benjamin, Dr. H.J. and E.H., of St. Thomas, Dak.; John R., Thos. E. and Alf. in Ramsay. The funeral will take place an Friday at 2 o'clock to St.. George's church and cemetery. The late Mr. James was a man of quiet and unostentatious habits, but like, many more of the hardy pioneers of the country, he was of that sterling stuff that matured amidst the hardships and discouragements of the early years, and could always be relied upon in any time of stress. He was a consistent member of St. George's church, the ministrations of which meant much to him.

Benjamin married Ellen Bowland in 1850. Ellen was born on 17 Sep 1827 in Lanark Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 27 Feb 1904 in Lanark Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 1 Mar 1904 in St. George's Anglican Cemetery, Union Hall, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Benjamin James took place on Tuesday from her late residence to St. George's cemetery. There was a very large attendance. The deceased lady, who was in her 76th year, was only ill a few weeks, and in spite of all that loving hands and skill could do her spirit took its flight on Sunday morning. Her husband and a family of six sons and one daughter are left to mourn the loss of a kind: and affectionate wife and mother. The sincere sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved ones.
