    ?b?Town Shocked By Passing Of Clifford James?/b?
    Popular Almonte Man Succumbs To Injuries Sustained In Auto Accident.
    Almonte people were greatly shocked last Monday morning to learn that Clifford James, a well-known resident of the town, had passed away at the Rosamond Memorial as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident on William Street, Carleton Place, on Saturday night. It appears that Mr James and his brother Oswald were motoring into Carleton Place, between seven and eight o'clock Saturday night when they collided with a car being driven in the opposite direction by Wm Brethour. Neither Oswald James, driver of one car, nor Mr Brethour, driver of the other, was injured but Clifford was thrown through the windshield causing a fracture of the skull. Doctors Johnston and James of Carleton Place, were called to the scene of the accident, a point on William street, a point on William street where there is a curve leading to a railway crossing. The physicians administered first aid and had the unconscious man removed to the Almonte Hospital. He died Monday morning without regaining consciousness. An inquest was ordered by Dr A.A. Metcalfe, the coroner. The jury was composed of F.W. Blake, foreman; Robert Scissons, Grant Dunlop, J.W. Aspinall, Kenneth Burns, M.P. Coderre, Russell Kenny, John Gilmour, A.C. Wylie and Jas Cochrane. After viewing the body at the undertaking parlours and hearing the evidence of Doctors J.K. Kelly of Almonte and J.A. Johnston of Carleton Place, the inquiry was adjourned until next Monday night at 7.30 in the council chamber. Mr James who was only 50 years of age was a valued employee of The Thoburn Woollen Company where he was boss carder. A native of Almonte he was popular with all who knew him and his tragic death is a cause for general regret. Mr James was a son of the late Thomas James and Mrs James of Almonte. Besides his mother, there remains to mourn his loss his widow the former Nellie Stevenson, of Almonte; a son and daughter, Lorne of Almonte, and Valda, Mrs Raymond Duane of Stamford, Conn.; five brothers, Winnard, Oswald and Edward of Almonte; Percy of Finch; and Stanley of Carleton Place, and three sisters, namely, Ruby, Mrs Jack Eck of Toronto; Annie, Mrs J. Brennen of Vancouver, and Jennie, Mrs W.H. Cowan of Moosejaw, Sask. Among the numerous floral tributes were wreaths from Thoburn's mill and the choir of Bethany church. The funeral procession from the home on County Street to the Auld Kirk Cemetery was a lengthy one and testified to the esteem in which Mr James was held. Service was conducted by Rev C.D. McLellan of Bethany United Church, and the pallbearers were the five brothers, Oswald, Winnard, Edward, Percy and Stanley and Jack Eck. Among others from out of town at the funeral were: Mr and Mrs John Eck, of Toronto; Mr and Mrs . James, of Finch; Mr and Mrs Stanley James of Carleton Place, and Raymond Duane of Stamford, Conn.

    Clifford married Nellie Blythe Stevenson in 1905. Nellie (daughter of Andrew Stevenson and Sarah Taylor) was born on 13 Aug 1883 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 5 Feb 1975 in Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
