Miss Elizabeth Paterson
There passed away, at the residence of her brother-inlaw, Mr Wm. Paterson, "Rose Hill Farm," in Ramsay on Sunday, Elizabeth Paterson, in her 76th year. She had been in failing health for some time, and her death was not unlooked for, and when it came it was to her merely the passing on to a fuller and a brighter life. Miss Paterson was born in Ayrshire Scotland. Her father, the late Matthew Paterson, came to Canada in 1850, the family following a year later, and most of her life in Canada was spent in and around Almonte. There was a family of eight, five sisters and three brothers, all of whom excepting Mr Geo Paterson of Almonte and Mrs Wm. Paterson of Ramsay have passed away, and all at advanced years, except David, who died when 21 years of age. Mrs Borrowman died at 55, Agnes in Almonte at 70 Mrs Fleming of Ottawa at 75, Mrs Wm Paterson has reached 78 years and Mr George Paterson 74, and both enjoy a comfortable degree of health notwithstanding. The funeral of Miss Paterson took place on Tuesday, and was attended by many who as they followed the remains to the cemetery recalled a life of brightness and activity, a kindly disposition. Until recently she lived in Almonte, but since failing health came she had made her home with her sister in Ramsay.
