Middleville
Mrs. James H. Rodger
Death has once again invaded our village, claiming on Sunday morning one of our aged and most highly respected citizens in the person of Mrs. James H. Rodger, nee Ellen Miller. During her illness which lasted a little over a year, her sufferings were borne in that quiet, patient manner so characteristic during her lifetime. A native of Lanark Township, in which her whole lifetime was spent, she was born on the farm now owned by Mr. Russell Ramsbottom, Sept. 18, 1855. She was the last surviving member of a family of 11 children, born to William S. Miller, who came from Ballymena, Ireland, and his wife, Ann Graham of Lanark Township. On June 18, 1875 she was united in marriage to Jas. H. Rodger of this township, by Rev. James Wilson, and to them were born a family of eight children, all of whom reside within a radius of 20 miles and were present with her during the last weeks of her life. There are also 28 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon from her late residence to St. Paul's United Church, interment being made in Middleville Greenwood Cemetery, her pastor. Rev. K D. Snelgrove conducting the services. Six grandsons were pallbearers and many beautiful floral tributes adorned the casket. The bereaved husband and family namely - William S. of Almonte; Jas. M. and Nellie, Mrs. R. Welland McKay of Ramsay; Jessie Ann, Mrs. Charles M. Ramsbottom of Lanark Village; Margaret, Mrs. Finlay Ramsbottom; Edna, Mrs. Robert L. Woods; Eva, Mrs. Wm. Rintoul and Harry L. of Lanark Township, have the sincere sympathy of the community and a host of friends in the loss: of a devoted wife and mother.
