Deaths
At the residence of her son-in-law, Mrs Gavin Hamilton, in the township of Ramsay, on the 8th inst, Agnes Wilson, wife of the late John Neilson, sen, aged 86 years.

1877, May
A Hand-Written Note - In Memoriam
On the 8th of May last ? there passed from this life one of the first settlers in this part of the country, one who will be long lovingly remembered by a wide circle of relatives and friends. We refer to Agnes Wilson, relict of the late John Neilson, Sen., of Ramsay. The departed lady was a native of Paisley, Scotland, from which place she emigrated with her husband and a young family in the year 1820. Shortly after coming to Canada, the family settled in the Township of Ramsay then a wilderness of woods. By hard struggling and untiring perseverance the "bush lot" was soon transformed into a comparatively well cleared farm, with the comforts and conveniences of life coming in slowly but surely. In this home the late Mrs Neilson lived the greater part of her life, brought up a large family, of sons and daughters, and witnessed many happy re-unions of her children and children's children. Possessing many available qualities and living a consistent Christian life, she was deservedly greatly beloved and highly respected. Like the majority of her country-women she took great interest in leading topics of the day, keeping herself well-informed at to the doings of the outside world, so that her conversations was not-only entertaining but highly instructive. She retained her bodily-powers in wonderful vigour until near the last, but it was a source of great sorrow to her relatives that during the last two years of her life, her memory failed her, and that some months before her death the sore trial of a broken leg was added to her afflictions. From that trouble she never recovered. After lingering for a few months, at the ripe age of 86, she passed away to her rest ? "this rest that remaineth for the people of God." She was the mother of George Neilson, Esq, Belleville, whose sudden death was noticed a few weeks ago in this paper. She survived her husband 19 years and is survived by three sons and 3 daughters, 66 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
