  	1917, Friday March 23, The Almonte Gazette, page 4 DEATHS In Ramsay, March 17th, Alexander Snedden Aged 81 years and 8 months. 1917, Friday March 23, The Almonte Gazette, page 4 Alex. Snedden After a long season of suffering, at times, most intense, the veil that separated between this life and that beyond was drawn aside, and Mr Alexander Snedden was on Sunday granted that release from suffering which entry into the other world secures. Mr Snedden, who was a son of the late Alexander Snedden and Mary Whyte, was born in the township of Ramsay in the year 1835, and was in his 82nd year, and had spent his whole lifetime therein. Almost threescore years ago he was married to Annie Ross, a daughter of the late Daniel Ross of Pakenham, and to them ten children were born. These are: Mrs R.L. Black, of Montreal; Mrs Graham Forgie, of Ottawa; Mrs P.B. Ford, of New Westminster, B.C.; Mrs R.T. Richardson, of Woodroffe; Mrs G.W. McCreary, of Ottawa; Edith and Ethel, deceased; Alex. G., at home; Geo. R., at Togo, Man.; and H.M., at Appleton. Mrs Snedden survives her husband, as also two brothers, Mr David Snedden of Ramsay, and Mr James Snedden of Almonte, both of whom are bearing the weight of their fourscore and more years with wonderful ease. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon in the cortege were represented all parts of the community for miles around from which had come those who thus desired to express their appreciation of a man whose memory they deemed it a privilege to honour. The remains were placed in the vault of the Presbyterian cemetery. The late Mr Snedden was a man of quiet disposition, but in his own quiet way exerted an influence for good over many with whom he came in touch. He was for several years a useful member of the township council. In politics he was a Liberal, and was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church in Almonte, and a regular attendant at worship in his earlier years. The pallbearers were Robt. Philip, W.J. Graham, And. Cochrane, W.A. Snedden. Alex. D. Snedden and Thos. Bolger.
