Graham Forgie Drops Dead
Mr Graham Forgie dropped dead in the barnyard near his house on Monday evening. He had a sale during the day, and after the crowd had gone away he went out to do the necessary chores. As he did not return as soon as he was expected to Mrs Forgie went out to see what had caused the delay and was shocked to find her husband lying prostrate just outside the barn door. Neighbours were summoned by telephone and the family doctor called, but life had departed and nothing could be done. The cause of death was thought to be heart failure, caused by exhaustion following a busy and exciting day. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and the many who attended showed to what extent the sympathy of the community went out to the bereaved family. The services were conducted at home and the grave by Rev Mr Brown. The pallbearers were Messrs E. Duncan, John Neilson, Jos Symington, John Stewart, J.W. Neilson and W.J. Duncan.

?b?Mr Gilbert Forgie?/b?
Mr Gilbert Forgie had been suffering for some time from cancer of the stomach, and had been gradually growing weaker, until the end came on Friday, a welcome release to him from the suffering he endured with fortitude and patience, tenderly cared for by his daughter, Miss A.J. Forgie, and his granddaughter, Miss M. Cavers. The late Mr Forgie, who was in his 85th year, was born in Lanark township, a son of the late Gilbert Forgie, and one of a family of twelve children of whom five are still living. These are Mrs John Simpson of Winnipeg; David Forgie, of Cleveland, Ohio; Henry of Toronto; Robert in the west, and James in Almonte. A good many years ago he was married to Agnes Baird, and to them were born four children. Of these Mrs Thos Cavers is dead, and Robert of Ottawa, Graham on the homestead in Ramsay and Mrs P.E. Young of Sault Ste Marie, are still living. His first wife died quite a number of years ago, and he was married again, to Jane Dunfield, who died about sixteen years ago. To them were born three children, Jas G., at Renfrew, and Miss A.J. and David at the home in Almonte, to which Mr Forgie came about twenty-five years ago. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended, quite a number of relatives and friends coming from a distance to be present. The services were condcuted by Rev Mr Rattee. The pallbearers were sons of Mr Forgie's old neighbours when he was in Ramsay ? John Stewart, Donald Stewart, John Neilson, John W. Neilson, M. Aikenhead and J. McFarlane. The late Mr Forgie was a man of public spirit, and he took a deep interest in matters that were for the general good. he was an ardent Liberal in politics, and was one of the oldest officials of the North Lanark Agricultural Society, of which he had been an honourary director since advancing years compelled his retirement from the active list. But of all the interests that engaged his attention none were so dear to his heart as his church. he was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was one of the most active and generous in building of St John's and was always a liberal contributor to its support. he was always an active and energetic man, and it is only a few weeks since his familiar figure had been missed from the Express wagon as his son went his daily rounds

Alex. Snedden
After a long season of suffering, at times, most intense, the veil that separated between this life and that beyond was drawn aside, and Mr Alexander Snedden was on Sunday granted that release from suffering which entry into the other world secures. Mr Snedden, who was a son of the late Alexander Snedden and Mary Whyte, was born in the township of Ramsay in the year 1835, and was in his 82nd year, and had spent his whole lifetime therein. Almost threescore years ago he was married to Annie Ross, a daughter of the late Daniel Ross of Pakenham, and to them ten children were born. These are: Mrs R.L. Black, of Montreal; Mrs Graham Forgie, of Ottawa; Mrs P.B. Ford, of New Westminster, B.C.; Mrs R.T. Richardson, of Woodroffe; Mrs G.W. McCreary, of Ottawa; Edith and Ethel, deceased; Alex. G., at home; Geo. R., at Togo, Man.; and H.M., at Appleton. Mrs Snedden survives her husband, as also two brothers, Mr David Snedden of Ramsay, and Mr James Snedden of Almonte, both of whom are bearing the weight of their fourscore and more years with wonderful ease. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon in the cortege were represented all parts of the community for miles around from which had come those who thus desired to express their appreciation of a man whose memory they deemed it a privilege to honour. The remains were placed in the vault of the Presbyterian cemetery. The late Mr Snedden was a man of quiet disposition, but in his own quiet way exerted an influence for good over many with whom he came in touch. He was for several years a useful member of the township council. In politics he was a Liberal, and was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church in Almonte, and a regular attendant at worship in his earlier years. The pallbearers were Robt. Philip, W.J. Graham, And. Cochrane, W.A. Snedden. Alex. D. Snedden and Thos. Bolger.
