James MacFarlane
Last Friday morning Mr James MacFarlane closed his long and active career on this earth and Almonte lost one of its oldest citizens. Mr MacFarlane, who had passed 84 years had lived nearly all of that long period in Almonte and vicinity and until his eyesight failed, some twelve years ago, had always been a man of more than common energy and progressiveness of spirit. He was a son of the late Robert MacFarlane, who died in 1885. He was born on the Broad Lea farm, just above the Elmsdale mill on the C.P.R. rightof- way long before there was any C.P.R., on Dec 1, 1825. He learned the trade of harness making, which he followed for a few years. In 1850 he was married to Ann MacFarlane, who predeceased him in 1890. Shortly afterward he was seized with the gold fever and joined the rush to California in the early fifties, but he only remained a few years, returning to Almonte, where he took possession of the Henry Cavers farm, which he worked until about 1863. About this time the Brockville and Ottawa railway came to Almonte and Mr MacFarlane entered the employ of the company, as baggageman and sectionman, which positions he held until 1883. He was then night watchman for the Wylie mill for a number of years, being forced to retire in 1898, when his eyesight failed, and for the past twelve years he had been totally blind, an affliction which he bore with patient resignation, being at all times an interesting narrator of the stories of early days. He has one brother, R.L., a fire ranger at Warren, Ont, living, and one sister, Mrs Anderson, of Carleton Place. Of his own family, two sons, Messrs Albert and Malcolm, survive. The funeral on Monday was a gathering of many friends paying the final tribute of respect to a long and interesting life. Interment was made in the 8th line cemetery.

James married Ann Paterson McFarlane in 1854. Ann (daughter of George McFarlane and Helen McFarlene) was born on 24 Apr 1831 in Glasgow City, Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 1 Nov 1890 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 3 Nov 1890 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The Late Mrs Ann McFarlane?/b?
Died at her late residence, in the Springfield section of town, on the morning of the 1st, inst., Ann McFarlane, wife of our respected townsman, Mr Jas McFarlane, in the 60th year of her age. After a lingering illness of some months, consequent upon a protracted attack of chronic diarrhoea, finally resulting in stomach and intestinal catarrh, at times quite painful and continuously debilitating, until at length her exhausted physical constitution succumbed to the prostration, when her spirit returned to God who gave it. Deceased bore her trouble with a quiet Christian resignation, emanating from her hope and implicit trust in the resurrection to a blessed state of immortality, and that solely in and through the merits and atoning sacrifice of the Crucified One. She was throughout her life what might not inaptly be styled a fair specimen of a plain Scotch woman, at no time aspiring to be known in society, never being desirous of intruding into the company of those she considered to be above her station and walk in life, nevertheless, sensitive withal, yet always cultivating and evincing the same kindly disposition to her circle of friends and acquaintances, of a congenial temperament as to simplicity of manner and a honest Christian walk and conversation. The deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada with her parents, the late George and Helen McFarlane, of Springfield Farm, and her brother, D. McFarlane (still resident on the farm), in the year 1841, being then in her eleventh year, and, although then so young, she retained throughout her life a lively and loving retrospect of her dear "Auld Scotia" with it mountains and glens. She leaves in her family circle her husband and two sons, Malcolm and Albert G., and one daughter, Florence J., to mourn her loss to them as a dutiful wife, and a very kindly affectionate mother. We feel sure that many kind friends in this locality sympathize with them in their present bereavement. ? COM.
The GAZETTE joins a host of sympathising friends in tendering to the bereaved husband and friends its sincere sympathy for the sad loss they have sustained. Mrs McFarlane had been known to almost everyone in Almonte as a genuine Christian, a loving wife and a devoted and anxious mother. The funeral on Monday last was largely attended. The Rev Mr Grant, of St Andrew's church, conducted the services in the house and at the grave, and the pall-bearers were Messrs, R. Cameron, Jas Snedden, N. Stevenson, Jas Neilson, Jas Robertson and John Paul.
