?b?Mrs. Ross Craig Passes After Long Illness?/b?
One of the largest funerals to be held in the United Church for many years was that of Mrs. Ross Craig who died on Thursday, March 17 at the Shail Nursing Home, following 26 years of ill health. She was in her 55th year. Born on a farm on the Clayton Road, Ramsay Township in 1905, Annie May Reid was a daughter of the late John R. Reid and his wife, Margaret McKay of Middleville. She was educated at the rural school, Almonte High School and in 1925 graduated from Kemptville Agricultural School. In 1926 she married Mr. Allan Ross Craig, one of the well known farmers of this district and went to live with him on the 11th line of Ramsay. In addition to her husband she is survived by her mother who has lived in Almonte for a good many years, and by three daughters: Dorothy (Mrs. Lyle Reid) Almonte; Jean (Mrs. Keith Willows) Innisville and Miss Lois, in Ottawa. There are also two sisters, Mrs. Raymond Kemp and Mrs. Stuart Whyte of Ramsayville; two grandchildren, Shirley and Barry Willows. One brother, Robert, died in childhood. Mrs. Craig was stricken with an illness 26 years ago that eventually made her an invalid confined to a wheel chair. She spent the last three years of her life in a nursing home. But in spite of being confined to her home and the pain she suffered she was always remarkably bright and cheerful; so much so that people enjoyed visiting her.

The body rested at the Kerry-Scott Funeral Home, Elgin Street until 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon when it was removed to the United Church which is located just across the street. The pastor, Rev. J. Ray Anderson, conducted a service in which he spoke words of comfort to the mourners basing his remarks on passages from the Bible, particularly from Job and the Apostle Paul. There was almost a full choir and the flowers around the altar rail were very beautiful. Hymns sung were "What a Friend we have in Jesus," and "Abide With Me." Pallbearers were three nephews, Messrs; John Whyte, Donald Kemp and Wilfred Neilson and Messrs; Morden Duncan, Arthur MacNicol and Eric Munro. Honorary Pallbearers were members of the session of the church of which Mr. Craig had long been a member. Among the many tributes were flowers from the Bank of Canada, Ottawa; Carleton Place Public School Board; the neighbors and Circle NO. 3 Almonte United W.A.; and in lieu of flowers, donations were given to the British and Foreign Bible Society from the session of Almonte United Church; W. A. of Boyd's United Church and Mr. And Mrs. Arthur McNichol in memory of the deceased. Interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery

Mrs Reid's Sudden Call
Mrs Wm. P. Reid of Cedar Hill was taken suddenly ill, and her physician advised taking her to the hospital for treatment. She was accordingly taken to the General Hospital at Ottawa and on Tuesday night she was operated upon for obstruction of the bowels. First reports received by the friends were encouraging and hopeful, but adverse conditions developed, and on Wednesday, Mrs Reid succumbed to the inroads of the disease. The remains were brought to the home of which so recently she had been the light and comfort, and the funeral will take place of Saturday at one o'clock (service a half-hour earlier) from her husband's residence to the eighth line cemetery in Ramsay. The late Mrs Reid was born in Fitzroy 46 years ago, and was the daughter of Mr Chas Lawson, and was one of a large family, her death being the sixth. There are still two sisters and two brothers living - Mrs A. Cavanagh of Fitzroy, Mrs J. Gilmour of Almonte, Mrs Chas W. Lawson at Cedar Hill, and P.A. Lawson in Cass City, Mich. The deceased was married to Mr Wm. P. Reid about twelve years ago, and two children - a boy of eleven years and a girl of nine survive. The late Mrs Reid was well known in Almonte, having lived in town for some time, and only a month ago was a visitor here, when she was enjoying the best of health. Not only in her home will she be missed, but in the community in which she lived. She was a active worker in church circles and in many other ways her life told for good. Much sympathy is felt for the friends in the sore bereavement that has so suddenly fallen upon their home.
