?b?Mr. Samuel Drummond?/b?
There passed away at the homestead 12th concession of Ramsay on Wednesday morning, Dec 23rd, a well-known resident of Ramsay Twp., in the person of Mr. Samuel Drummond. Deceased was the fourth child in a family on nine and was born on Nov 24, 1858, son of the late Peter Drummond and Jane Dunlop of Lanarkshire, Scotland. Mr. Drummond was twice married. In 1888 he married Mary Burns of Ramsay who died in 1897. To this union, seven children were born, Harvey L. of Ottawa, Eva J. (Mrs. Melville Paul) of Ramsay, and Iva N. (Mrs. Clifford Greene) of Fitzroy; Violet, Albert and Alberta died in infancy and Wilbur L. died in 1928.
In 1900 Mr. Drummond married Mary Paterson, second daughter of the late Buchanan Paterson and his wife, Isabella Stewart, who survives. To this marriage were born five children, Howard A., Ralph, Agnes and Aida at home. Elsie I. died in 1919. Also surviving are one brother and sister, Dr. Peter Drummond of Grant, Michigan, and Mrs. T. J. Reid, of Almonte.
The late Mr. Drummond's boyhood and early manhood days were spent on the farm. For a period of upwards of 15 years he operated a livery business in Almonte, and returned to his farm in 1894, where he had since resided. He had not enjoyed good health for a year prior to his death.
His passing severs another link with the older residents of the community and he will be missed sadly by a large circle of relatives and friends. The funeral, which was private, was held on Thursday afternoon from the home and interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev. C. D. McLellan, pastor of Bethany United Church, of which deceased was a member, officiated. The pallbearers were: David J. Drummond, John Chapman, Duncan Stewart, Harvey S. Paterson of Ramsay, Lawson Stewart, Arnprior, and Geo. C. Drummond of Bristol, Que.

------------------------------
Samuel's livery business (keeping horses and rigs/carriages for hire) was called "The Popular Livery", with ads that promised "FIRST CLASS HORSES, COMFORTABLE RIGS AND GOOD EQUIPMENT. Every attention paid to the wants of our patrons. We have several quiet and reliable horses, suitable for ladies' or children's driving."

Samuel married Mary Paterson on 25 Apr 1900 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of Buchanan Paterson and Isabella Stewart) was born on 28 Mar 1866 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 27 Jan 1944 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 29 Jan 1944 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

?b?The Late Mr Peter Drummond?/b?
With sincere regret we have this week to announce the death of another of those who settled in Ramsay in the twenties, in the person of Mr Peter Drummond, the wellknown farmer. Less than four weeks ago Mr Drummond suffered from an attack of grippe, but with his strong constitution it was thought he would soon recover. However, the trouble soon developed into inflammation of the lungs, and notwithstanding that all that medical science and loving attention could do for him was done, he grew gradually worse till this (Thursday) morning, when the thread of life was broken and the sturdy yeoman passed to the great futurity that awaits mankind. Deceased possessed a genial nature and a warm heart beneath a blunt exterior, and news of his death will be received with sorrow by a large circle of friends. He took a deep interest in municipal affairs, and sat as councillor for a time. He was an ardent Liberal in politics. The late Mr Drummond came to Canada with his parents from Perthshire, Scotland, in 1826, and shortly afterwards settled in Ramsay, on the farm adjoining the present homestead. He lived on those farms the balance of his life ? over forty years. Mrs Drummond and six children survive. The children are: William, of Metropolitan, Mich.; Samuel, of this town; Peter (the Doctor), of Grant, Mich.; and Daniel, Mary and Agnes, at home. These will have general sympathy in their bereavement.

?b?
Mrs Peter Drummond?/b?
The passing out of a life such as Mrs Peter Drummond's is not an occasion for deep mourning but rather one of rejoicing, as her end came just as she longed for it to do. A busy women all her long life, she had during the war, knitted industriously for the solders, and hundreds of boys at the front had reason to bless her for the comfort that came to them through her work. Since the war ceased she continued her work for the sailors and on the day of her death she had almost completed a pair socks and had laid them aside to be finished "tomorrow," but ere tomorrow dawned she had passed out to the Great Beyond, and thus ended a long life of busy attainment. Her death came last Friday night after and illness extending over several months. She was a life-long resident of Ramsay and Almonte and was known and respected by everyone in the neighbourhoods in which she resided. Mrs Drummond was born in Paisley, Scotland, and was one of a family who came from there in 1842. She was married to the late Peter Drummond, to whom nine of a family were born. Her husband died in February 1892. Four sons, one daughter and a brother survive ? William, at Fortuna, California; Samuel, in Ramsay; Daniel, in Almonte; Dr Peter, at Grant, Michigan; Mrs T.J. Ried, Almonte; and Mr Neil Dunlop, brother, of Brockville; the late Mrs Jas McGregor of Almonte was a sister. A Presbyterian in religion and a member of the church here, she was an earnest worker and a kind neighbour, always willing to lend a helping hand especially during sickness, and she will be greatly missed, by her many friends. The funeral, which was private, took place on Monday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev Mr Brown. The pallbearers were her two sons, Samuel and Daniel; two grandsons, Harvey and Wilbur, and two nephews, William and David Drummond.

LINES
Written on the death of Buchanan Paterson, who died
15th Feb., 1881.
Again Death's cold, dull hand His sceptre sword hath swayed ? Severed from this baleful land ? in a clayey grave hath laid A faithful friend and father ? A frame of life and love: Gone ? to dwell with "Our Father;" He lives with Him above.
Methinks, as upon thy face With weeping eyes I gaze, In that happy, holy place, I hear thee sing His praise. Though thou wast not rich in gold, Thou are rolled around with glory; Thou canst all mysteries unfold; No more thy mind shall worry.
We miss thee from our home, Around that happy hearth. Thou art where ? no more to roam ? Light and love ne'er knew of dearth. We miss thee ? the neighbourhood In which thou didst reside, Thy parental hand and brotherhood Ne'er more with us shall abide. "Who is he for whom our tears Flow'd and will not cease to flow. Full of honours and of years, In the dust his head lies low. It was one whose open face Did his inmost heart reveal, One who wore with meekest grace On his forehead heaven's broad seal." We mourn not as those to whom, Frail man, no hope is given ? Though thy body's in the tomb, Thy soul doth sound in heaven. Dust to dust and clay to clay, How prone and wont man is to stray, Fill not your mind with dismay Christ will save you if you may.

Mrs Buchanan Paterson Dead
About fours years ago, Mrs Buchanan Paterson, of Ramsay, was attacked with la grippe, from which she never fully recovered, although she was able to be around most of the time. Two weeks ago she went to visit her daughter, Mrs Jas Arthur, near Rosebank, and on Sunday last was taken seriously ill, but lingered on till Wednesday, when she quietly dropped into that sleep from which there is no awaking. The deceased was a daughter of the late James Stewart, of Ramsay, and sister to Mr. Robt. Stewart, of the seventh line, and was born in Ramsay, where she spent her whole life. She was married to Mr Buchanan Paterson, who died about fifteen years ago, the union being blessed with four children ? one son and three daughters ? all of whom are living. The deceased was of a quiet disposition, but will be remembered by many for her kindness of heart and her readiness to aid those who were in trouble of any kind.

?b?The Late Mr. James Stewart?/b?
Sooner or later death comes to us all, but to very few is given such a fullness of years as was enjoyed by Mr. James Stewart, one of Ramsay's pioneers who died on Thursday of last week, at the ripe old age of 87 years. Born in
Glasgow, Scotland, in the opening of the present century, he spent the earlier years of his life there as clerk in a warehouse. When about 21 years of age he emigrated to this country, coming as a passenger on the ship "Buchanan" in 1821, working his passage out by acting as clerk on the vessel. On landing he took up land, the property secured being that lot which includes "the Point," opposite Burnside, but this he afterward exchanged for the farm on which his life was spent. Being one of the first settlers in the township, he endured all the privations incident to a life in the backwoods, and many were the tales he could tell of the hardship suffered and obstacles overcome by himself and his wife (Helen Brown) in their efforts to establish a home for themselves on Canadian soil. While the Rideau canal was being built his spare time between seeding and harvest was spent working on it. On one occasion while away his wife disposed of a few bushels of surplus wheat they had for a dollar a bushel, the money received being the nucleus of it after years grew to be a comfortable income., and which was enjoyed by them until about ten years ago, when his wife died. The deceased was a man of sterling worth, whose word was as his bond, and whose sympathy and assistance were never withheld from those who were deserving it, and many are the kind and grateful memories that still linger in the hearts of those who received bounty at his hand. In the early years of Presbyterianism in Ramsay he cast in his lot with that denomination, and for many years was a member and elder of the old church at the eighth line,. when St. Andrew's church was established in Almonte he was one of the first elders appointed, a position which he held up to the time of his death, discharging the duties of that office with the same Christian earnestness and zeal which characterized his whole Christian life, preaching more eloquently than with word by his quiet and consistent walk in the footsteps of that Master whom he delighted to serve, and whose consolations he so much enjoyed during his declining years. In politics he was a staunch Reformer, but never took an active part in public matters. He was a man of robust constitution, and up to a few days of his death was going about as usual, attending to little duties around the house, but on Tuesday he was prostrated by what seemed to be a general breaking down of his system., and on Thursday, to him, the welcome summons came, bidding him join the bright throng above. The funeral on Saturday was very largely attended, evincing the high esteem in which the deceased was held by all who knew him.
