?b?Obituary Mr John Carnochan?/b?
Suddenly stricken on Saturday morning, at 7.30 o'clock at his home, 93 Glen Avenue, Ottawa, and unconscious since then, John Carnochan, one of the best known residents of Ottawa, former alderman for five years representing Capital Ward, and for many years engaged in the roofing business in Ottawa, died Tuesday.
There were few residents more familiar to the people of Ottawa than Mr Carnochan, and he was particularly well known in civic circles. News of his death will be received with sincere regret. Always enjoying the best of health, he had been active and around up to the time of his seizure. He was in his 79th year.
Mr Carnochan was born in Scotland, his father being John Carnochan, a sea captain who sailed between Halifax and the Old Country. He came to Canada as a boy of about nine with his parents, and the family settled in Lombardy, about eight miles from Smiths Falls, on a farm. He lived for a time in Almonte, where he was telegraph operator at the C.P.R. station. As a young man Mr Carnochan went to Montreal, where he was in the roofing business for a time before moving to Ottawa and for 38 years he was engaged in the same occupation in the Capital. Always interested in the welfare and advancement of Ottawa, he ran for alderman in 1910 to represent Capital Ward and was elected, and held office for five years during which period his voice was always heard in City Council on behalf of improvements for his ward, as well as for the city at large. He was a quiet man, however, but made many friends who respected him for his honesty and principles and dependability at all times.
Mr Carnochan was a Presbyterian but after church union he attended Southminster Church. He was a member of Doric Lodge, A.F. and A.M. No 58, and other Masonic lodges, for many years and took a great interest in the work of his lodge. Mr Carnochan retired from active business five years ago. He was a Justice of the Peace. Mr Carnochan is survived by his widow, who was formerly Jennie Campbell of Almonte; four sons, Donald Campbell, Gordon John and Fenton, and one daughter, Miss Eileen R.N.
Two grandchildren, Donald and Dorothy Carnochan also survive. The funeral will be held from his late home on Friday afternoon at 2.30 'clock. The body will be placed in the vault at Pinecrest cemetery. In the Spring burial will be made in the Auld Kirk cemetery, Almonte.
