  Death	13 Feb 1901	Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
  	The Almonte Gazette Friday February 15, 1901, front page An Old Resident Dead For some time Mr Wm Tosh has been going down hill physically, but with wonderful pluck for one of his years he kept moving about until Saturday last, when he was compelled to give in and take to his bed. It was only for a short time, however, as on Wednesday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock worn out nature gave up the unequal struggle and he quietly passed away. Mr Tosh was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1832, when he was fourteen years of age, He worked for a time with the late Grenville Toshack, and afterwards farmed on his own account for several years on the ninth line of Ramsay. He then gave up farming and moved into town and worked for ten years with Messrs L. & G. Northrup, and the next two decades of his life were spent in the employ of Mr Jas H. Wylie. He was appointed caretaker of the town hall about thirteen years ago, and spent ten years at that position. The last three years he has enjoyed rest from his work. He was thrice married ? His first wife being Johanna Carswell, his second Clementine Syme, and his third Matilda Dudgeon, who survives him. In the first family there were five children ? Helen (Mrs Platt) and Margaret (Mrs Haber), of New Jersey; Jennie (Mrs Buchanan), Winnipeg; Thomas, Pakenham; Isabella (Mrs W. Cannon) Ramsay. Those of the second family are: Peter, of Pierson, Man.; R.C., of Ramsay; Jessie (Mrs W. Coxford), Almonte; Annie (Mrs W. Spalding), Perth; Agnes (Mrs Alex Clarke) Arnprior; William, of British Columbia; John, Wawanesa, Man.; James, Almonte and three died when young. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, and, notwithstanding the exceeding cold quite a number paid a last token of respect to the deceased.
