Mrs Thos Craig Called By Death
Body of Aged Lady Found In Field Near Her Home Relatives and neighbours were shocked this Thursday morning to discover the body of Mrs Thos Craig in a barley field on the farm of her son, Thomas Craig, eighth line of Ramsay, one mile from Leckie's Corners. Mrs Craig who had been ailing for some time was in her 76th year. She had been missing since Tuesday night and it is thought she had gone for a walk and lost her way. It is believed she had been dead for about 24 hours at the time the body was found. Death was probably due to a heart attack. An intensive search was made for Mrs Craig all day Wednesday on the presumption she had wandered some distance. It was not until this morning that she was found in a barley field between the house and the road. Mrs Craig's husband predeceased her ten years ago and since that time she had made her home with the son on the homestead where the Craig family had been for three generations. Left to mourn the deceased are one son, Thomas and three daughters, Mrs Hough (Emma) of White Lake; Mrs Albright (Bertha) of Toledo, Ohio, and Miss Effie of Sidney, Ohio. The funeral will be held from the late home of the deceased on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

An Old Settler Called Home
Mr Thomas Craig, one of the few remaining pioneers of Ramsay, received the call to his eternal rest last Thursday, after an illness of three weeks duration, resulting from an attack of grippe, The old gentleman, although not possessed of a rugged constitution, was almost a stranger to sickness; but the well-worn frame fell an easy victim to the insidious trouble which he was attacked. The late Mr Craig was born in Glasgow, Scotland, October 15th, 1815, and had reached the advanced age of 76. He came with his parents to Canada in 1821, They, like many of the first settlers, went to Lanark, and from that village came down the Clyde and Mississippi by boats to Almonte, their first camping spot hereabout being where our town hall now stands. They settled on the eighth line of Ramsay the same year, and on that line deceased lived continuously till his death ? a period of over seventy years. Mr Craig married Jane Clarke in 1843, Mrs Craig died eight years ago, since which time the husband resided alone till within a few weeks of his death. Three children survive ? Mrs Thomas Goodfellow, Mrs James Smithson and Thos Craig all of Ramsay. The funeral took place on Saturday last, to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended. The ranks of the pioneer settlers are getting thinner year by year, and exceedingly few are left to tell of the hardships and privations they had to endure in paving the way for the fine farms and comfortable homes of the present generation, Honoured be their memories!

Thomas married Jane Clarke in 1843. Jane was born in 1816; died on 8 Feb 1884; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
