In the glow of women's flesh, When life seemed fair and bright Death set his signet on that brow Shading its youthful light.

| 1109 | 1876, Friday June 16, The Almonte Gazette, page 2 Another Sudden Call It is seldom that we are called upon to chronicle so many sudden deaths and in some cases quite unexpected deaths as have fallen to our lot in the few weeks that have just past. And it now becomes our sad duty to make a short death-notice of still another, whose name has just been added to the long list of our lamented dead. Mr Stephen S. Young, of Youngville, Ramsay, son to the late Stephen Young, Esq., who died so suddenly last fall, was taken ill of scarlet fever on Friday last, and, notwithstanding that every effort which are and forethought could suggest was put forth for the preservation of his life, kept growing gradually worse till Wednesday evening, when death stopped in and put an end to his sufferings at about half-past eight o'clock. The deceased was a comparatively young man - only 27 yrs. of age - but, by his genial disposition and gentlemanly deportment, had drawn to his side many warm friends and admirers, by all of whom he will be greatly missed and his untimely demise deeply lamented. We desire to tender to the again bereaved mother and sorrowing brothers and sisters our warmest sympathy in this their most trying situation. The funeral takes place from his mother's residence today (Friday) at the hour of 10 o'clock. | Young, Stephen S. (I20226)

| 1110 | 1877, Friday January 12, The Almonte Gazette, page 2 Died. At his father's residence, in Ramsay, on the 8th inst- Mr. Chas. A. Black, in the twenty-fifth year of his age. The early death of this young man leaves a blank in a wide social circle in which he was deservedly respected. The deceased was the third son of James Black, Esq., Deputy Reeve of Ramsay, and Jeannette, his wife. Early in life he entered upon mercantile pursuits in the service of Mr. Jas. Reeves, in Eganville, and after a two years stay there entered the employ of Mr. J. H. Wylie, of this village, where he continued until failing health compelled him to withdraw. His attention to business and his employer's interests opened to him the highest position in the establishment, while his uniform courtesy, and desire to please, won for him the respect of a large circle of friends. For some time it has been evident that he was passing away from earth, all human remedies proving futile to arrest the progress of disease. He possessed his consciousness to the last and gave evidence that his affliction had been sanctified; "Jesus is precious." being amongst his last utterances. The very large concourse of people attending the funeral on Wednesday last proved the estimation in which the family in general and the deceased in particular was held. He is gone from all he loved on earth To him who died our souls to save 'Tis but the form of him we loved That rests within the silent grave. | Black, Charles (I7647)

| 1111 | 1877, Friday June 15, The Almonte Gazette page 2 Deaths On Sunday, 10th June, Mr Wm Barker, 8th Line Ramsay, aged 83 years. | Barker, William (I33915)

| 1112 | 1877, Friday May 11, The Almonte Gazette page 2 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. | Wilson, Agness (I8209)
|
| 1113 | 1877, Friday May 18, The Almonte Gazette page 2 DEATH At her late residence, in the township of Ramsay, on the 24th of April last, Mary Lang, beloved wife of John Neilson, jr., aged 60 years. | Lang, Mary (I8174)
|
| 1114 | 1878, Friday August 30, The Almonte Gazette page 3 DEATHS In Ramsay, on the 28th August, Mr John McIntyre, sen., age 58 years | McIntyre, John P. Sr. (I8177)

| 1115 | 1878, Friday January 11, The Almonte Gazette, page 2 DEATHS In Ramsay, on Jan 8th, 1878, Ann Gemmill wife of Mr Graham Forgie, aged 70 years. The funeral will take place on Friday, 11th, inst., at 1:30 p.m. from her late residence to the 8th Line Cemetery. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend | Gemmill, Ann Norris (I24145)
|
| 1116 | 1878, Friday June 21, The Almonte Gazette page 2 At her father's residence, Mount Pleasant, Ramsay, on the 13th June, of nervous fever, in the 26th year of her age, Jane, wife of David S. McFarlane, 5th concession Ramsay, and daughter of David and Janet Aikenhead, of Ramsay. Deceased departed this life after a short but most painful illness; yet throughout her sore trouble she always remembered, in the intervals of cessation from extreme suffering that her bodily afflictions were allowed by her Heavenly Father, and prayed that she might remain patient and resigned until the end; and felt assured that in His own good time she would be released from all her trials here, and would enter upon that rest that remaineth for all those that love the Lord Jesus in sincerity and truth. She oft asserted to friends by her bedside that she had no desire for a longer extension of her term of existence, and seemed to feel confident from the very commencement of her ailment that she would never again be restored to her wonted health and strength, and trusting solely to the merits of the Blessed Redeemer, she felt pleases to anticipate the change through death to life eternal. Her assured confidence of a blessed resurrection must have been most cheering to her infirm mother waiting by her dying bed, who thereby beheld the fruits of her endeavours to instill into the minds of her children in their earlier years the "fear of the Lord," so that when their term of life here expires those words of inspiration may be applicable to them, namely, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, &c." The sorrowing parents, husband and friends have the sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances in the neighbourhood, in their bereavement. And this was evinced by the large attendance of fifty vehicles on the 15th, to accompany the remains to their last resting place the burying ground on the 8th concession line Ramsay, where they were deposited, after an appropriate burial service at the grave by the deceased's pastor, the Rev John Bennett, of Almonte.

|
| 1118 | 1878, Friday May 3, The Almonte Gazette page 2 DEATHS In Ramsay, on the 19th inst, Mary M. daughter of Wm Paterson, Esq., Rose Hill, Ramsay, aged 8 years. When we see a perfect blossom, That we tended with such care, Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair. Round her little grave we linger Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. Chorus We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn, We shall meet to part ? no, never ? On the resurrection morn. | Paterson, Mary Morison (I7302)

| 1119 | 1879, Friday December 17, The Almonte Gazette page 2 ?b?DEATHS?/b? At his residence, in the village of Almonte, on Wednesday, 17th December, 1879. Daniel Galbraith, M.P., in the sixth-seventh year of his age. The funeral will take place on Saturday, 20th, inst., at 2 o'clock p.m. to the Presbyterian Church Cemetery 1879, Friday December 19, The Almonte Gazette page 2 ?b?Death of Mr Galbraith?/b? We are this week under the painful necessity of announcing the death of Daniel Galbraith, Esq., M.P., which took place on Wednesday morning last at five o'clock. Though not altogether unexpected ? for Mr Galbraith had been ailing for several weeks ? so soon as the first announcement of the melancholy event was made, a deep a lively sense of sorrow pervaded the whole community. In Mr Galbraith, Almonte has lost one of its most estimable and popular citizens ? North Lanark an honest, a trusted and an ever faithful representative ? the Canadian Commons an attentive and respected member. Indeed, to know Mr Galbraith was to esteem him. He was certainly one of the few of whom it may be truthfully said that the bitterness of political warfare never diminished his personal popularity. In our country, unfortunately, few men come through the turmoil of political conflicts retaining the respected alike of friend and opponent. Mr Galbraith was, however, one of those who retained the esteem of all with whom he came in contact, even in the exciting time of fierce political battles. His honesty, his candour, his fairminded appeals to the electoral body, his well-known aversion for anything like injustice and his horror of corruption in any form won for him universal esteem. His death creates a void in this community which cannot soon be filled. He shall, indeed, long be missed; but his example will be pointed to by all who respected consistency and admire honest and unobtrusive worth. The deceased gentleman was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1813, and consequently, at the time of his death, reached the ripe age of sixty-six years. He came to Canada with his parents in 1821, and settled in the township of Ramsay, Canada, and more especially the portion of it wherein the late Mr Galbraith in the earliest age of boyhood found his lot cast, was then no inviting place. From the few settlements which skirted the St Lawrence to the head waters of the Ottawa, all this section of country may be said to have been then an unbroken wilderness. But with the indomitable courage characteristic of his race, he did his share even in those early years of boyhood towards assisting to clear the forest. In the same cheerless but remunerative toil, his manhood years were also spent. He had the consolation before his death of seeing that vast wilderness which confronted him on his arrival in the country largely reduced in dimensions, and thriving settlements established throughout this section, in which civilization had not then cast its beneficent rays. The growth and advancement of the country since that time has been truly wonderful, but it is owing in a large measure to the devotedness and public spirit of the late Mr Galbraith, and such men, that such happy results have been achieved. In every movement of progress and material advancement, Mr Galbraith took an active part. From an early date he took a deep interest in railway connection with the St Lawrence. For several years he was Vice-President of the Brockville & Ottawa Valley Railway Co., and for a lengthened period held a place in the directorate of the same road. The interest of this corporation, which he rightly considered identical with the interest of this section of country, he lost no opportunity to promote. Before his death he had what must have been to him great satisfaction to know, that the road in which he took so lively an interest had advanced from a mere Provincial railway to be about to enter on the new, brighter and more extensive career of usefulness, that of a great national highway ? a connecting link in the great chain of railroads destined to connected the vast cereal bearing regions of the North West with the Atlantic sea board. Mr Galbraith's public career was one of uninterrupted success The deceased gentleman was a man of fine mental capacity, and amid all the pre-occupations of his early life found time to lay up a store of valuable information, which served him in good stead in the many public positions he was called upon during his lifetime to fill. When the first organizations of Ramsay into a municipality took place, Mr Galbraith was elected to serve as councillor. This position he held for several years, discharging its duties in such a manner as to merit promotion at the hands of his constituents. In 1856 he was chosen Deputy Reeve ? to which post he was again elected in 1857. In 1858 he was raised to the Reeveship, which he held for five years in succession, a proof of the unlimited public confidence reposed in him by those who knew him best ? his own immediate friends and neighbours. His actions in the municipal council were characterized by the same sense of duty, the same honesty of purpose, which marked his whole career, private and public. Much of the improvements operated in the township is due to his foresight and to his careful husbanding of its resources. In 1860 Mr Galbraith was chosen Warden of the united counties of Lanark and Renfrew. In the municipal council of the united counties he had already made his mark. He had won the esteem of the members of that important representative body by his moderation, good sense and sound judgement. He was re-elected Warden in 1861 and 1862 In the two years following Mr Galbraith did not hold a seat either in the township or county council. In 1865 he was re-elected Reeve of Ramsay, and on his reappearance in the county council in that year was for the fourth time raised to the dignity of Warden. In 1866 and 1867 he was re-elected to same position. Old county councillors can well remember the tact, impartiality and good judgement which were Mr Galbraith's leading characteristics in the highest municipal position in the united counties. Higher honours now awaited him. The general election of 1867 had come on. Mr Galbraith, with the great body of Upper Canadian Reformers, was a strong supporters of Confederation, and took a lively interest in its successful inception and operation. By the British North American Act, the electors of North Lanark were invested with the right of electing a member as well to the Ontario Assembly as to the House of Commons. Not a few of his friends urged on him the acceptance of candidature for the latter Chamber, for which he would probably have been without difficulty elected. But with that same feeling of moderation and fair play which he ever manifested Mr Galbraith declined to embarrass the Government by opposing one of its Ministers. He was elected by acclamation to the House of Assembly, while Hon Wm Macdougall was chosen for the House of Commons. The Government of Mr Sanfield Macdonald had just taken the seals of office in Ontario. Mr Galbraith, like a great majority of Reformers, disliked coalitions, and looked with a certain amount of suspicion on the rather sudden alliance established in 1867 between lifelong opponents such as Sir John A. Macdonald and Hon John Sandfield Macdonald. He nevertheless resolved to give, and did actually give, the Sanfield Macdonald Government every opportunity to develop its policy, and extended it a measure of support which could hardly be expected from so pronounced a Reformer. Its railway policy did not commend itself to his support, and when the general election of 1871 came around, Mr Galbraith sought and obtained the verdict of North Lanark against the Government, being returned by acclamation for the second time. When Parliament met, Mr Galbraith, with a majority of the House, supported Mr Blake's amendments to the address, and Mr Mackenzie's subsequent direct motion of want of confidence. During the session of 1871-2, he saw with evident pleasure many of the leading measures for which he had voted on opposition placed, under the able leadership of Mr Blake on the Provincial statute book. At the Dominion election of 1872 Mr Galbraith received the Reform nomination. The campaign was opened by Mr Mackenzie in an able speech at Clayton. Mr Galbraith's opponents in that election were the Hon Wm Macdougall and our townsman, Mr Bennett Rosamond. Mr Galbraith was elected by a considerable majority over both gentlemen. In the election of 1874, he was returned by acclamation; and in 1878 was one of the few Upper Canadian Reformers who succeeded in holding his seat against the powerful influences of the party advocating protection to native industries. During the last session of Parliament, he was in constant attendance on his duties. In turning over the Journals of the House, we find that he recorded his vote on the two great questions ? the dismissal of Lieut. Governor Letellier and the "National Policy," in each case against the Government. During his recent illness, he had the sympathy of all classes of our community and the deepest interest was evinced by his constituents of all shades of politics in his hoped for recovery. That recovery did not come. His spirit sought a more peaceful abode, and amid the universal sorrow of our citizens we have to-day to announce his demise. His example will live on ? an incentive to the rising generation to adhere honestly to principle, and to do that always which conscience tell them they should do. His life will thus extend its usefulness far beyond the sphere allotted to the majority of men. The deceased gentleman's family have our heartiest sympathy in their great affliction | Galbraith, Daniel M. P. (I8278)

| 1134 | 1881, Friday August 12, The Almonte Gazette, page 3 DEATHS At Almonte, August 5th, 1881, Agnes Wilson, relict of the late Matthew Paterson, aged 85 years.

| 1135 | 1881, Friday December 16, The Almonte Gazette page 3 ?b?Another Landmark Gone?/b? The passing years are working great changes in the appearance of our town. The extension on every side, and the alteration or removal of old buildings, is fast banishing the Almonte of twenty years ago. The changes are not confined to the inanimate portion of the town, but extend to the inhabitants, and we are constantly called on to record the removal by death of one and another who had grown up with Almonte and helped to develop her resources. The old familiar faces are passing away, and their number are getting "small by degrees and beautifully less." The last to go over to join the majority is Mr. J. Patterson, J.P., whose name has long been "as familiar in men's mouths as household words," and who died somewhat unexpectedly to most on Friday morning last, after an attack that confined him to the house about four weeks. The deceased was born in Bridgetown, near Glasgow, in 1810 and came to Canada with his mother, three brothers and two sisters in 1827. In 1828 he apprenticed himself to the Bros. Spence in Brockville, to learn the blacksmithing trade. In 1835 he came to Ramsay, and resided with his mother and family for two years, on the 8th line near the Greig's schoolhouse. In 1837 he moved into what was then called Ramsayville, now Almonte, and built the house in which he lived to the time of his death. He pursued his calling for over ten years on the spot now occupied by Mr McCaffrey, corner of Bridge and Water streets, and his careful attention to business is still remembered by many. In 1839 he married Elizabeth Smith, by whom he had issue of four sons and three daughters, of whom one son and one daughter are dead. In 1851, when the gold fever was at its height he got badly infected with it and went to California and spent two years there during which time he gained a considerable competency. Soon after this he returned and was appointed magistrate and for many years had disposed of the great majority of magisterial cases. His decisions, being based on a common sense view of the matter before him generally commanded approval. In 1862 he was appointed Clerk of the Division Court, an office he held to the time of his death. The deceased gentleman belonged to a healthy race, as is proved by his mother dying only a few years ago at the advanced age of 91 years, and his brothers and sisters (one of whom is Mrs. John Scott) are still living. With the exception of one brother who is in California, the other brothers and sisters are living in the Niagara Peninsula and are well known in the neighbourhood. Up to the time of his fatal sickness the deceased had never been sick in his life, and the ailment of which he died, cirrhotic disease of the kidneys was undoubtedly brought on by an exposure to the wet weather. A very large assemblage gathered on Sunday last to follow the remains to the cemetery, and thus marked their respect for one whose face and person had been so familiar on our streets and known to all, as well as to the widow and family he had left behind. Mr Patterson was of a kindly disposition, and is spoken of as a neighbour with great regard. He had the courage of his convictions, and having once formed an opinion was not given to change, whilst not unwilling to listen to argument. His more than average intellect and good memory made him quite an authority as to the past of the town he had watched grow up from a small hamlet to be the "Manchester" of Canada. Mr Patterson was a member of St Andrew's church and in politics was a staunch Reformer. Few men will be more missed than the deceased, and we are confident that he widow and family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. | Patterson, John (I37810)

| 1136 | 1881, Friday February 25, The Almonte Gazette page 2 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. J.M. 6th Line Ramsay, Feb 18th, 1881. | Paterson, Buchanan (I2844)

An old and well known resident, Mr Graham Forgie, of Ramsay, and father of Messrs, Forgie bros, of Almonte and Ramsay, died at his son's residence on Wednesday morning last. The old gentleman ate his breakfast as usual and was left in the house all right by his son, who was only out of the house for a few moments and on returning found the father dead. This was the third paralytic stroke from which he had suffered. | Forgie, Graham (I24144)

| 1140 | 1881, Friday September 16, The Almonte Gazette page 2 DEATHS In Ramsay, on the 9th inst, Jane Matthew, relict of the late Wm Paul, sen, aged 84 years. 1881, Friday September 16, The Almonte Gazette page 3 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. | Matthew, Jane (I8522)

| 1141 | 1882, Friday April 14, The Almonte Gazette page 2 ?b?DEATHS?/b? At Almonte, Sunday April 9th Alexander Stevenson , 77 years 1882, Friday April 14, The Almonte Gazette page 3 The many friends had scarcely returned from following the late Mr. Snedden to the grave before they were called upon to wend their way thither again to mark their respect for the memory of Mr. A. Stevenson, J. P. who has gone over to join the 'majority'. The deceased gentleman came to Canada from Glasgow, where he was born, with other members of his mother's family, together with his stepfather, the parent of the late Mr. Galbraith of whom the deceased was a half brother , in the year 1821. The family settled in Ramsay and at that time our late townsman, was about nine years old. He resided with his family for six or seven years and then went to Montreal, where he learned the trade of a cooper, remaining there about seven years. When he removed to Carleton Place and commenced a cooperage for himself. He followed the trade for two or three years , his shop, being on the site of Savallees hotel. In 1833 he married and moved to his own farm on the second Concession of Ramsay, where he remained until 1870 when he came to Almonte and has since resided here. Mr. Stevenson was a member of the township council from 1852-1856 and was for many years a Justice of the Peace. For over thirty years he was Pork Inspector for this district. After 49 years of married life he has left a widow who feels her loss keenly and a family of 2 sons and 3 daughters. The deceased was a very quiet unobtrusive man and was consequently not as widely known as many less worthy, but in all various positions, he was called on to fill, he brought a strong conscientiousness combining with a good share of common sense to bear and thus succeeded in establishing a claim to the respect of those with whom he was brought in contact , owing to frequent attacks of asthma he was latterly confined much to the house but he was not long confined to his bed. He died on Sunday morning last, at the ripe age of 77 years and was followed to the grave on Tuesday by a very large number of people of the town and country those who knew the late Mr. Stevenson were conscious that he felt severely the death of the late Mr. Galbraith from the shock of which he never recovered. | Stevenson, Alexander J.

Once more we are called on to discharge the most painful part of the duty devolving on caterers for the public in the way of news, that of recording the death of a well known and much respected inhabitant of this county, and whose expected death was briefly noticed last week. We feel satisfied that the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood will learn with regret of the death of Mr. Andrew Cochrane, sen., which took place at his residence, 7th con.

Mr. Cochrane was born in Glasgow in the year 1813, and at the age of 19 left Scotland alone to seek his fortune in Canada, For a year or two he remained in the vicinity of Montreal, but ultimately came to the township of Ramsay, and settled in 1836 on the homestead where he resided continuously until his death. He married the year of his settlement, and by his wife, who has now been dead good many years, he had eleven children, nine of whom are now living. He took a very warm interest in the Presbyterian Church on the 8th line whilst it existed there. His last illness extended over period of seven weeks, and was paralysis, which held him so fast that for eighteen days before his death he could not eat, and gradually grew weaker until Sunday afternoon last at 3:30, when he quietly passed away without a struggle. The deceased was a thorough Reformer, and felt considerable interest in the success of Reform principles. The funeral took place on Tuesday last, and was very largely attended. On behalf of a very large number of our readers, and the inhabitants generally, we tender the family their deep sympathy. | Cochran, Andrew (I18706)

This week we have to record the demise of another -- a man rich in the good opinion of his fellows -- Mr Wm Lindsay of White Lake. The sad event took place on Sunday last, and although not unexpected, the news was received with a great deal of regret by those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was 74 years of age, 63 of which were spent in the neighbourhood. Deceased came with his father from Cambusnethan, Scotland, in the year 1821, and they settled in Ramsay the same year.

Mrs Black has not been strong for some time, as the result of a cold which has apparently settled on her lungs, and was to all appearances gradually bringing her down to the grave. On Saturday morning last the deceased rose and dressed herself, to all appearances no worse than usual, but a feeling of suffocation led her to lie down on the bed, and in a few moments she had passed away. The deceased was well known and respected She was the third daughter of Mr James Wallace, of this town. The funeral took place on Tuesday, and was one of the largest ever seen in Ramsay, proving the general sympathy with the bereaved husband, as well as the respect for the family.
