  	1911, Friday June 16, The Almonte Gazette page 4 The Late James Wilson As if in a quiet restful sleep all that is mortal of Mr James Wilson lies in his home on Cameron street, awaiting the last sad offices of the living to the dead. For some time past he had been in poor health, but had always been able to move about until only a few hours before his death, which took place on Tuesday, the result of a paralytic stroke from which he suffered on Monday. The late Mr Wilson, who was 72 years of age, was a son of the late William Wilson, and was born at Appleton, one of a family of whom only three - Andrew at Appleton, Joshua at Groton, South Dakota , and George at Salt Lake, are still living. Nearly forty years ago Mr Wilson was married to Miss Mary J. McPhail, and to them three children were born ? Jessie, who died several years ago, just as she was entering young womanhood; Flora at home, and William at Regina. Mrs Wilson is also still living. The late Mr Wilson was a contractor and architect, and through the Ottawa Valley there stand today many monuments to his refined taste and splendid workmanship. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, widely read and a most interesting companion. He was kind to and considerate of others, with a thoughtfulness beyond that which is not often found in man. He was a member of St Andrew Presbyterian church, and until prevented by physical incapacity was a regular attender at the church services. He was a Liberal in politics and in his time was an active and effective worker in the cause he espoused. Taken all around he was a man with few equals and was one whose passing away leaves the world the poorer in many ways, The funeral takes place on Saturday at 3.30 in the afternoon, the service at the house being a-half-hour earlier.
