?b?THE LATE W.J. RINTOUL?/b?
A Prominent Figure in Lanark County Affairs Called Away.
There passed away in Darling on Friday last in the death of Mr. W. J. Rintoul one whose life rounded out a period of usefulness and helpfulness in his community beyond that which is usually achieved by any ordinary man. Born on the farm upon which he spent his whole life and growing up as he had done in the heart of the community, he possessed a knowledge of its needs, had a grasp of its requirements, and was imbued with a desire to help the people or the place which opened up to him the life of usefulness which he lived. On the death of his father the charge of the home fell to him and he developed a business capacity and soundness of judgment which not only resulted in his material prosperity but led many to seek his opinion in matters of public or private interest. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that positions of public trust were opened to him, and that he became a leader in his community. In 1868 he was elected to the Darling township council and the following year was raised to the position of reeve. The following year Mr. Peter Guthrie succeeded him as reeve, but the next year he was again elected head of the council by acclamation, and held the Position for over a quarter of a century. In 1890 he was chosen warden of Lanark county by acclamation. Under his administration the county buildings were enlarged and improved at an outlay of several thousands of dollars. But while looking after county matters he did not neglect interests nearer home, and was instrumental in securing government grants for road improvement in the township, the benefits of which the people are today enjoying. About forty-five years ago he was married to Miss Annie Watt, a sister of Mr. Alex. Watt, who was for so many years clerk of Darling township, and to them eleven children were born. These are Maggie (Mrs G. McIlraith) of Tatlock; Jennie (Mrs Albert Affleck) Middleville; Mary Ellen (Mrs Geo. Taylor) Hopetown; James and John in Moose Jaw; David at Balderson; Elizabeth at home; Euphemia (Mrs James Thompson, deceased), Lloyd; Rev Alex. At Oliver's Ferry; Bella and Ethel at home. These with Mrs Rintoul are left to bear the bereavement which has fallen upon them. The funeral took place on Monday to the Middleville cemetery and was very largely attended by the many people who desired to pay their last tribute to the remains of one whom in life they had learned to trust, honour and esteem. Mr. Rintoul was a member of the Presbyterian church, and took an active interest in matters of religion, education and moral uplift. He was an ardent Liberal, and has to his credit many well fought battles on behalf of the cause he espoused. He had been ill for about five months, and suffered severely from a disease in his hip.

William married Annie Watt in 1865. Annie was born on 3 Jun 1842 in Darling Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 24 Sep 1921 in Tatlock, Darling Township, Lanark County, Canada West; was buried in 1921 in Greenwood Cemetery, Middleville, Lanark Highlands, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
