| 3435 | A lady much beloved by many Almonte and Ramsay people passed away in the person of Mrs agnes Steele at Carleton Place on Wednesday morning at the home of her son, Dr M.H. Steele. She was in her 90th year, and although she had been in failing health for the past six months, she had only been confined to her home for ten days. She had with her at her bedside four of her sons and two of her daughters. Mrs Steele was a daughter of the late John Whyte, of Beckwith, a well known farmer. Her mother died when she was a little girl aand she was brought to Ramsy to make her home with her cousin, the late John Snedden, and she often spoke of the happy girlhood she spent under the kind care of Mr and Mrs Snedden. She was only 21 when she was married in 1858 to Mr Alex Steele, of the 7th line of Ramsay. Rev Mr McMorran performing the ceremony. To them were born eleven of a family, of whom eight survive. Two children died in infancy, but the first break in the nine did not come for many years until James was striken with yellow fever in Cuba. He was a lieutenant in the American forces during the Spanish-American war, where he had charge of the balloon brigade, the signalling service of the army and navy. He was a brilliant young man of 32, who was pushing his way rapidly upwards. The home of the Steele family on the 7th line of Ramsay became a great gathering place for both young folk and their elders, and when it became known that Mrs Steele was about to passon, there have been many reminisceces exchanged regarding her great hospitality and the happiness she had the gift to instill in those with whom she came in contact. As the years went on and the family and the family was scattering Mr and Mrs Steele felt that the work of the farm was too great and they moved into Almonte. Here they lived for many years in the house on Union street now occupied by Mr John Sutherland. In 1911, Mr Steel died and about nine years ago, after a residence here of about thirty years Mrs Steele sold her house in Almonte and went to live in Carleton Place with her son, Dr M.H, Steele. All of her family had departed. No fewer than three of her sons had gone into the dental profession. Dr W.H. Steele is in practice at Arnprior. Dr L.D. Steele is in practice at Regina and Dr M.H. Steele already mentioned. Alexander is farming at Dinsmore, Sask. and John is in the publishing business in Chicago. The three daughters of Mrs Steele are Bella, Mrs M Harris, of Radisson, Sask; Kate, Mrs J.A. Dack, of Carleton Place; and Minnie, Mrs Neil Campbell, of Arnprior. Only Mrs Harris and Dr L.D. Steele were unable to be present when their mother passed away. Mrs Steele was a member of St John's Presbyterian church and when St John's and St Andrew's united she became a member of Almonte Presbyterian church. Her remains will be laid beside her busband this Friday in the Auld Kirk cemetery. The service at the home of Dr M.H. Steele will be at 1:30 o'clock. Mrs Steele was a famous knitter, and in the midst of an unusually busy life did an astonishing amount of knitting and fancy work. When the war broke out she brought her talent to work for the comfort of the soldier lads, and hundreds of pairs of socks and other garments were made by her. So much did she accomplish that it was one of the wonders of the Almonte district that will be talked of for many a long day to come. | Whyte, Agnes (I6923)

| 3436 | A monument to George Eccles, who helped save more than 200 lives during a shipwreck in 1909, was unveiled at the St. Paul's Anglican Church cemetery on Wolf Grove Road. The Almonte native was the first radio telegrapher to die at sea ? bravely sticking to his post, summoning help ? after the SS Ohio, a 340-foot steamer, struck a rock off the coast of British Columbia in the dead of an August night. In the roughly 30 minutes before the sinking, Eccles, then 36, was able to contact two nearby ships and 208 souls were safely disembarked. But, with water lapping at his feet, he stuck to his station, even going below decks to look for a shipmate. Heightening the drama were Eccles' final, desperate transmissions, as reported in multiple newspapers: "Passengers all off and adrift in small boats. Captain and crew going off in the last boat, waiting for me now. Good-bye. My God, I'm ?" And there the words ended. His last breath wasn't far behind. His dramatic death was reported around the world and his funeral in Almonte brought the town to a standstill. There was a wooden sign marking the birthplace of Eccles ? a nearby farm ? but it had become weather-beaten and difficult to read. Local resident and actor David Frisch spied the old sign one day and began to investigate the forgotten saga. The youngest of eight children, Eccles was born in 1873 and, as a young man, learned the new art of telegraphy from the resident CPR ticket agent in Almonte. At one point, he moved to Ottawa to be a sessional clerk at the House of Commons but wireless communication appears to have been his passion. The skill took him to Winnipeg to work in the rail yards, then Seattle, where he hooked on with the firm that ran the SS Ohio to Alaska. While in Winnipeg, he married Nettie Barry, had two boys and was blamed, perhaps unfairly, for a workplace accident in 1905 that no doubt scarred him. One newspaper report said he had been at his telegraph station for 36 hours straight when a communication error led to a head-on train collision that resulted in at least one fatality. He was dismissed. (Adding to the cruel timing of the sinking, too, was the fact Eccles had given notice of his resignation and the fateful trip was to be his last one.) In Almonte, meanwhile, he was mourned like a hero for the ages. At his funeral, the town literally shut down and the mayor and councillors led hundreds in a cortege described as "the largest in the history of the town."

| 3438 | A Ramsay Pioneer, and Prominent and Successful Farmer Called to His Reward - Sketch of His Life It is with sincere regret that we chronicle the death of one of Ramsay township's most respected farmers, in the person of Mr John Steele, who passed away on Saturday last, after being confined to bed for a month with inflamation of the stomach. Few men in this neighbourhood were better known or more highly esteemed, and the announcement of his death carried sorrow to many hearts. All his life he enjoyed the best of health, being possessed of a rugged constitution. Up to last Christmas he had never been troubled with any illness worth mentioning; then he was laid aside for a time, but recovered, and was able to go about as usual until a few weeks ago, when he was attacked by the trouble that terminated fatally. the late Mr Steele was identified with the progress of the township in which he lived for upward of sixty years. He had his share in the work of transforming the primitive forest into a section that is now covered with fine farms and comfortable homes; and in later years his enterprise as a farmer manifested itself in the line of introducing and encouraging the breeding of thoroughbred stock in the country. He was an officer of the first agricultural society orginized in this district, and for nearly fifty years he held office in it and took a keen interest in its welfare. In 1886 he was elected president of the North Lanark Agricultural Society, and later on, when increasing years prevented his taking as active a part as he had done, he was elected an honourary director for life. Mr Steele was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, on the 25th January 1812, so that he had reached the patriarchal of 82 years. He came to Canada with his parents (who were among the earliest settlers of this part) in 1821. They came first to Lanark Village, then came down the Clyde and Mississippi rivers in boats, their landing place and first camping place being on the site now occupied by the Almonte town hall property. His parents first took up"Riverside Farm" now owned by Messrs M. and J. McFarlane, some years later they lived on the one at present owned by Mr. A. A. Steele and a half century ago the deceased purchased the homestead, on which he resided continuously till he died. At Pakenham in 1850 the late Rev Dr Mann unitedhim in marriage with Mary Johnston, who survives, with six children, to mourn his loss. the chilren are Alexander and Robert in Montana, and John, William, Margaret and Jessie, on the homestead. In politics deceased was a Liberal and in religion a Presbyterian. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was one of the largest ever seen in the township, the cortege being about a mile long. the sorrowing widow and family have the sympathy of a host of friends. | Steele, John (I1208)
