Death Of An Old Settler
We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of one of the pioneer settlers of Lanark County ? of whom but a few are now living ? in the person of Mrs Wm Paul, sr., of the 7th line Ramsay. The sad event took place on Friday last, and, although not unexpected, the news of her death was received with sorrow by a large circle of friends. The funeral took place on Monday, and the large number who followed her remains to the grave showed the universal esteem and respect in which she was held by the community. Deceased was one of the very earliest settlers in Ramsay having with her husband, emigrated from Glasgow, Scotland ? their native place ? in the year 1821 ? sixty years ago ? and settled in Ramsay the same year, and on the farm on which she resided continuously until her death. She attained ripe old age of 84 years, and for the past 26 years had been an invalid, caused by a severe attack of rheumatic fever ? an affliction which was borne with exemplary patience and resignation. Although physically disabled she was strong intellectually, at it was always a pleasure to her to relate her experiences in the early years of her life in Ramsay ? a time when Almonte had no existence, and when Lanark County was almost a trackless forest. Few can imagine the hardships endured or the obstacles which had to be overcome by the settlers at that time, and the present generation should not forget that they have these hardy pioneers to thank for paving the way to the fertile farms and prosperous villages which are to be seen throughout the country, Thus one by one they are passing away until at present but a very few remain; and are leaving behind them example of industry energy and perseverance which will not soon be forgotten.
