A decline set in last fall, from which he rallied a little this spring, but later acute indigestion seized him and finally dropsy, terminating his life. A man of sterling character and of superior education for his day, he held a foremost place among the early residents of Ramsay. e served in public capacities for several years as township councillor and school trustee. In politics he was an ardent Conservative, and in religion a Presbyterian. The deceased was born at Prescott in 1821, his parents being of English parentage. When but a year old his parents came to Ramsay and settled on the farm occupied by his brother, the late James Metcalfe. Upon attaining manhood he in 1845 married Jane McLean, youngest daughter of the late Lachlan McLean, and a year after his marriage he settled on the farm on the eighth line of Ramsay where he resided continuously up to the time of his death. His widow survives him, likewise his entire family of twelve, nine sons and three daughters. The sons are Messrs James, Robert and Henry and Dr. A.A. of Almonte; Hugh and William of Cando, Dakota; Lachlan, of Kendrick, Idaho; John on the homestead and Alexander, of Ramsay, Mrs Jas Nicholson, of Bowesmont, Dakota; Mrs Henry Eccles, of Steele, Dakota and Mrs Jas.
