| 11072 | The Almonte Gazette, Friday Apr 16, 1909 A Tragedy The closing hours of Good Friday were marked with as sad an occurance as has been recorded in Almonte in many years - the accidental death of Thomas Edward Scott. He was a son of W. H. Scott of New England and a boy well known and well liked in town. He was just beginning to develop and gave every promise of making a fine athlete. It seems hard to realize that one so full of the vigour of life should so suddenly be called away. He was alighting from a freight at the station about eight o'clock Friday evening when in some manner he slipped and fell under the wheels. His leg was completely severed. Medical help was quickly on hand, and he was removed to the hospital, but the loss of blood and shock had been too much and the power we call life departed Saturday evening. He was sixteen years of age. The funeral on Monday was very large. Among the floral tributes were: Wreath from the Victoria hockey team, wreath from the knitters' hockey team and a pillow from his chums. | Scott, Thomas Edward (I1453)

| 11080 | The Almonte Gazette, Wednesday December 20 2000 Local community volunteer died suddenly Dec 12, by Brent Dowdall, Gazette Reporter. Wherever the Almonte Lions Club was, Carl Frederick Sadler was almost sure to be there. A member of the Lions for almost 40 years, an Almonte native, family man and community volunteer, Sadler died suddenly on Tuesday, December 12 at the age of 72. His passing brought hundreds of friends and family to pay their final respects at both C. R. Gamble Funeral Home and Chapel and at Saturday's funeral at Almonte United Church. "They (crowds of people paying their respects) never stopped," said Bruce Sadler. "On Friday (evening), it went from 6:45 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. without a break in the line." The local Masonic order and Lions Club also held memorials on Thursday and Friday, respectively," in memory of Sadler. "Mr. Lions is what we called him" said Wayne Irwin, a club member and longtime friend. Sadler was a five-time president of the Almonte Lions, a deputy-district governor for Zone A-4, a past zone chairman for 30 West Lions International, and a regular contributor to Lions events in both Almonte and surrounding communities. Sadler also never missed a Lions convention and would travel around the area to locations such as Shawville Fair to help their Lions events. According to his brother, Sadler had just finished blowing snow out of the driveway after a major snowstorm that morning which dropped close to 30 centimetres on the area. He was to go pick up his grand-daughter, but she had gotten a drive to his home with someone else. They were talking in the house when she told her grandfather he did not look well. Sadler's reply was that he did not feel well and he then suffered a heart attack. A neighbour, members of the Mississippi Mills Fire Department and ambulance personnel attempted to revive Sadler at home. He was then transported to Almonte General Hospital but was unable to be revived. Around the so-called Superior Restaurant "Coffee Club" last week, thoughts were about Sadler for his Knowledge of the community, his volunteer and humanitarian efforts and his regular visits for coffee. "He was a regular," said Gerry Coleman, a Coffee Club member and Lions Club colleague. "He was a paid-up member of the Coffee Club. "Carl was one who always reminded us who was who and about the history of Almonte." Born and raised on a farm across from where Stoneridge Mall now stands and which he still owns - it has been owned by the family for 93 years -Sadler's father was in the market garden business. He and sons Carl and Bruce ran the farm, and delivered market items to customers twice a week. After a short period as a golf course greenskeeper, Sadler worked for 18 years for contractor Norman Sadler (no immediate relative), and then worked for brother Bruce on home construction for many years as a carpenter. He and his wife Shirley Crawford were married for 49 years and they have three surviving daughters - Ann Duncan (Lavern) of Ottawa, Beverley Visneskie (Andy) of Renfrew and Kathryn Kobus (Mike) of Arnprior. He was predeceased by a daughter, Nancy Jane. Sadler was also grandfather - "Poppa" - to Trevor Duncan, Ryan, Dana, Pat and Shane Malone, and Ian Pippy."I used to call him the 'Godfather of the family' when it came to his girls." said Bruce. "He called then every day to see where they were and what they were doing. he was quite a family man." He continued to work with wood through membership in the Lanark Woodworking Club, and he was a member of Mississippi Lodge AF & AM 147, as well a long-time member of the Mississippi Mudds dramatic group - he loved to sing. Sadler could also be the centre of humor, including taking up as much room as he could around the table. "He took up two chairs, and we always teased him for taking up two chairs at the table - "here comes Carl, we better make room", said Irwin. "He could take a joke and he could make one too."Sadler continued the family market garden tradition, as he provided hundreds of dozens Gladiolus for cemetery decoration services throughout the area. He also grew pumpkins there, and those pumpkins became part of a Lions Club fundraiser. Coleman also noted that Sadler was the person who pushed the club to get involved in the Carleton Place bingos, which has been one of the largest sources of funds for the past five years. Just a week before his death, Sadler and brother Bruce had returned from a visit to Western Canada with their brother Rev. Ray Sadler of Saskatoon, who is suffering from terminal cancer. Bruce Sadler said his brother had a minor heart attack about nine years ago, but recovered quickly from it. The Masonic members paid their respects at a service on Thursday evening, and Lions Club members assembled in the Gamble chapel for a memorial service on Friday evening. Visitation took place at the C. R. Gamble Funeral Home and Chapel on Thursday evening, as well as Friday afternoon and evening. | Sadler, Carl Frederick (I25309)

| 11085 | The community in and around Kinburn was shocked on Monday morning last to receive the news that one of our close and well-known neighbours had passed away in the person of Mr. W. J. Baird, at the early age of 49 years. Mr. Baird was one of a large family being the eldest son of the late Mr. Samuel Baird and Mrs. Baird. He was a very busy man as far as his strength would allow having sat at the council board for some time and being connected actively with the Independent Order of Foresters and with the Orange Order. But of late he suffered greatly from a weak heart. Even on the day of his death he had risen in the morning and seeming to feel somewhat stronger and more energetic than he had for some days, had gone out and was working around in the morning. Becoming wearied he sought the house and lay down, and in a very short time his wife hearing sounds as of snoring proceeding from his bedroom on entering found her husband passing quietly out of this life. The funeral which was conducted by the bretheren of the Orange Order was held on Wednesday at one o'clock to the Anglican Church and Cemetery at Diamond the Rev. Richards of Fitzroy Harbour officiating and taking as the basis for his remarks 1 Thessalonians, 4th chapter and latter part on the 17th verse. Rev Reid of March and Rev. R. B. Waterman of Carp were also present and took part in the service. The cortege was a large one, so many being anxious to pay a last tribute of respect to a brother who had always shown such a friendly, genial spriit and been anxious to assist projects which were for the community welfare. The pall-bearers were three bretheren from No. 5 Orange District, Messrs J. B. Smyth, E. E. Ross and Victor McCord, also three from the Royal Black Perceptory Messrs. Wallace Davis, John Armstrong and Thos. Olive. Deaceased leaves a widow formerly Miss Crissie Delahunt, and a family of ten children, Mrs. T. H. Munro, of Kinburn; Mrs. William Munro of Blackburn and eight younger boys and girls some of them of tender years. His mother and four brothers survive him, S. E. Baird, Kinburn; Robert Baird, Redlands, Cali.; Jno A. Baird of Ottawa and Allan Baird of Woodlawn also four sisters, Mrs. T. Ross of Montreal; Mrs Bowes and Mrs. Crozier of near Renfrew and Mrs. Craig of Kinburn.

| 11098 | The death of John Stewart was recorded in the Perth Courier, 7th April 1899. " A week ago last night, John Stewart, 7th Concession Beckwith, near the lake, received a paralytic stroke from which he never really rallied and early yesterday morning - within a week - the strong man was not and his spirit departed. Mr. Stewart was born in Perthshire, Scotland and came to this country with a contingent of those sturdy Scotch settlers who came out in the early days. Deceased was a man of splendid physique and scarcely knew what illness was until the fatal shock came so quickly, ending his career. Mr. Stewart was twice married, the first being with Elizabeth (sic) McDougall and by whom four children were born, viz., Alexander now at home; Peter of Strathclaire, Manitoba; Mrs. R. S. Allen of Cooper, Ontario; and John who, it will be remembered, was accidentally killed while falling from a bridge in British Columbia six years ago. Mr. Stewart's second wife was Mary A. Lawford who survives him and by whom seven children were born all living: Mrs. J.D. Armstrong of Carleton Place; Mrs. John Stewart and Mrs. Ed Dewar of Crystal City, Manitoba; Mrs. Dopson of Ottawa and Thomas, Neil, Jennie and Bella at home. Mr. Stewart lived continuously in Beckwith. In religion he was Presbyterian and a member of Knox Church, Black's Corners. In politics he was a Reformer of the old school. He served his fellows in Council for two years and was a school trustee for many years. " | Stewart, John (I37639)

| 11099 | The death of Mr. Robert Alcorn at Wilbur on Sunday morning last was a very sudden and peaceful one, and the news came as a shock to his friends here, whom he had visited less than a week previous. Mr. Alcorn was apparently in the best of health when he retired to rest on Saturday night after his usual day's work, and it was not util his wife had prepared the morning meal on Sunday, and returned to awaken him that he was found cold in death. Deceased was well known in and around Lanark, having been born seveny-five years ago on the farm now owned by Mr. Peter Barr on the first concession of Lanark township, about two miles from this place. After his marriage to Margaret Boyd he purchased a farm adjoining the homestead - that on which Mr. Wm. Storie now resides - and there he remained for some years. About twenty years ago, when the K. & P. railway was in course of construction, he moved to Lavant Station, embarked in the hotel business, and continued to cater to the wants of the travelling public for a dozen or more years, removing to Wilbur some four or five years ago. The family consisted of three sons and one daughter, all of whom are living - John, at Braeside; William and Ross, at home; and Mrs. R. Moore, in Michigan. Three of the deceased's sisters and one brother survive - Mrs. John Wright and Mrs. Wm. Campbell, Lanark; Mrs. J. Gallinger, McDonald's Corners; and John, in Australia. The funeral took place yesterday to Lanark Village Cemetery, the services being conducted by Mr. J.S. Caldwell, student-missionary.
