Obit. Mr Peter Young
Mr Peter C. Young, mention of whose death from heart trouble on Thursday, November 30th, was made last week, was one of the oldest residents of the town, and was descended from the early Scottish settlers who came out from Scotland in the early years and endured all the hardships incident to making a home in the then unbroken wilderness. The late Peter Young was a son of Peter Young and was born in Ramsay over 78 years ago. Upon reaching years of young manhood he learned the trade of a carpenter, at which he wrought in Arnprior, Smiths Falls, Chicago and other places. About forty years ago he settled in Almonte and started the sash and door factory he has been so long connected with. In 1868 he was married to Ann Anderson, a daughter of the late Matthew Anderson, and to them six children were born, all of whom as well as their mother are still living, Mr Young's death being the first break in the family. The sons are P.A.E. and Herbert, in Almonte; William at Carleton Place; Robert, in Montana; Howard at Ottawa, and Jessie (Mrs G. Etheringston) at Pakenham. The late Mr Young had also six brothers and four sisters, of whom John, Andrew and Mrs J. McFarlane are in Almonte and Robt is in Ottawa, Those who are deceased are Wm, Alex E., Mrs J, McCarter, Mrs H. Cavers, Mrs Sutherland and Steen. The funeral services on Saturday afternoon were conducted by Rec S.G. Brown, of whose congregation deceased was a member, assisted by Rev Mr Stevens. The pallbearers were Messrs Wm Thoburn, W.C. Pollock, T.J. Reid, D. Hamilton, Geo Bradford and Jas McLeod. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs Young and the family in the bereavement that has fallen upon them.
