    (Medical):Almonte

    Died:
    Mr John Watson, one of Ramsay township's older residents, passed away at his home, "Willow Hill Farm" on Friday of last week, August 15th, after several weeks of illness from which he suffered intense pain, at times so severe that it was only by the help of opiates that he could bear it, until his death intervened and his sufferings ceased. Mr Watson was born in Almonte in 1838, in his father's home at the time, being about where St Mary's Church now stand. Later on his father purchased the farm on the ninth line upon which Mr John Watson spent the balance of his life. In June of 1860 he was married to Miss Isabella Boyd, and to them were born nine children, all of whom as well as Mrs Watson are still living. the children are: Annie (Mrs Walter Millions of Boissevain, Manitoba); Charlotte (Mrs Donald Stewart, Ramsay); Susannah (Mrs Wellington Herron, Alsosk, Alta); Minnie (Mrs Jas Duncan, Winnipeg); Findlay, of Wetashawin, Alta);Theressa, (Mrs Jas Curtis, Vermillion, Alta); Clara (Mrs Robt Curtis, Carleton Place); Edna Mrs C.W. Hagen, Edmonton, Alta); and Lloyd at home. The late Mr Watson was one of nine, of whom, five brothers are still living. Deceased was a Presbyterian in religion, and for many years was a member of St John's church here. In politics he was an ardent Concervative and was an active member of L.O.L> No 378, until with the weight of advancing years he stepped aside and gave way to the younger men, but always retained his warm attachment for the order, in which he was honoured by his fellow members by elevation to the highest office. He was also a member of Almonte Lodge No 154 I.O.O.F., and in this order too, he was an active and useful member in his younger days. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to the Eighth line cemetery and was one of the largest ever seen hereabout, there being fully one hundred and fifty conveyence in the cortege, and even this large number would have been increased but for the threatening weather, Rev S.G. Brown conducted the service at the house and grave. Mrs Watson and the family have the sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement.
