?b?Mr Chas Simpson?/b?
A few weeks ago Mr Chas Simpson was taken to the Rosamond Memorial hospital suffering from a severe attack of typhoid fever, and though all that was possible was done for him, the ravages of the disease could not be stayed, and on Saturday morning the end came. The deceased was the only son of the late James Simpson, and was born in Ramsay, on the farm on the eleventh line now occupied by Mr Jas Grace, and practically his whole life was spent in this neighbourhood. In 1878 he was married to Miss Annie Simpson, who survives him. Two boys were born to them, both of whom died in childhood, one at four and a half years and the other at two and a half years. Two sisters, Mrs Lefevre of South Bend, Indianna, who with her husband is here, and Mrs Connatt of Spokane, Wash., also survive. Two other sisters, Eliza (Mrs Wm Rose), and Carrie Simpson died within a few years at the home of Mr and Mrs Lefevre at South Bend. Bella (Mrs Burrows) died at Grand Rapids, Mich, about eight years ago. The late Mr Simpson was a harness maker by trade, and carried on business here on his own account for some years. From that he drifted into other lines, and has been a most successful horse shipper and real estate dealer. He was possessed of a keen business insight, and invariably was eminently successful in any enterprise to which he turned his attention. He was for several years a member of the town council, as councillor, reeve, and mayor, and in these capacities exercised the same judgment and carefulness as characterized his personal business transactions. He was also a member of the North Lanark License Commission Board. He was a veteran of the Riel rebellion episode, having been a member of Company No. 7, under Captain Scott, now of Winnipeg, which was made up of recruits from the various units of Eastern Ontario. That was before the railway was completed to Winnipeg, and he shared the hard work of the trip in road-building and transportation of supplies. After the trouble was over he took his discharge at Fort Garry and remained in the west for some time, later returning to Almonte. The funeral took place on Monday, and was largely attended, a number of the members of the Sons of Scotland, with which society he was connected, being in the cortege. Interment was made in the Eighth line cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs Wm Thoburn, M.P., Mayor Cole, Reeve Drynan, Ex-Mayors Geo Willoughby, John Donaldson and A.M. Greig.

Charles married Annie Simpson on 9 Jul 1873 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Annie (daughter of Charles Simpson and Louisa Walker) was born on 11 Nov 1855 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 16 Aug 1935 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
