J.A. Teskey
A man whose life story is inseparably entwined with the history of Ramsay passed to his eternal reward early Tuesday morning when Mr J. A. Teskey answered the call of his Creator. Mr Teskey had been in rather poor health for some years but was not taken seriously ill until some three weeks ago. John Adam Teskey was born at Appleton in 1837 a son of the late Robert Teskey, who was one of the pioneer settlers of Ramsay. Upon his father's death he succeeded to his business interests and for many years was identified with the woolen and agricultural interests of Appleton. In this work his brother Rufus was associated with him. Some years ago he sold out his woolen business to Mr Caldwell and about one year ago, having disposed of his farm to Mr Spiers, moved to Almonte where he has since resided. He is survived by his wife (formerly Miss Giles of Brockville) one son, Albert E., in Winnipeg, and one daughter, Mrs W. West, Almonte. Two brothers ? Rufus of Toronto, and R.A. of Alberta ? and three sisters ? Mrs Bredin of Winnipeg, Mrs (Dr) Giles and Mrs Deacon of Brockville. In politics Mr Teskey was a consistent supporter of the Conservative party, and was a strength to his party in many campaigns. In religion he was a Methodist, and was a staunch supporter of temperance and moral reform. Deceases carried to the tomb the accumulated respect of many years of public and private citizenship.

Mrs J.A. Teskey
Death came with startling suddenness to Mrs J.A. Teskey on Tuesday evening. She had been ailing for a week of so from bronchial affection, but was thought to be better and she was looking forward to a night of quiet repose, when she suddenly expired in the arms of her daughter, Mrs West, who was making her comfortable for the night. Mrs Teskey was born at Athens (then Farmersville) and was 76 years of age. She was the youngest daughter of the late Wm Giles, who came from Ireland in 1811, and settled at Utica, N.Y. In the following year he became dissatisfied with conditions in the U.S. and in 1813 he removed to Canada, coming to Brockville and afterwards settling at Farmersville, where he purchased a farm. Here it was that Mrs Teskey was born. Deceased was married to Mr J.A. Teskey on Sept 22nd, 1862, and with him went to Appleton where they lived until a couple of years ago, when they came to Almonte. Five children were born to them, but only two ? Albert E., of Winnipeg, and Mrs W. West (Ethel) of Almonte ? survive. One sister, Mrs Geo Glassford of Kingston, who is in her 87th year, also survives. Her youngest brother, Dr. Giles, of Athens, died six years ago in March. Mrs Teskey was a women of quiet and retiring disposition, whose home was her absorbing care, and here it was that the loving traits of her character were to be seen. She was for years a member of the Methodist church, and in her quiet life were borne the fruits that her consistent walk demanded. The funeral will take place on Friday at 3 o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.
