  	1909, Friday June 18, The Almonte Gazette, front page Obit. ? Robert Young In the passing away of Mr Robert Young of "Otter Glen," Ramsay, the community has sustained a distinct loss. Mr Young had been in declining health from paralytic trouble for about a year, the last few months of which he was confined to the house and finally to bed, but though it all there was neither murmur nor complaining. The end came on Saturday not unexpectedly, but with the shock and sorrow which accompany such occurrences. The late Mr Young was a son of Mr Stephen Young and the second in a family of eleven ? Stephen, S., Robert, James, Andrew, Annie (Mrs Ford), Janet (Mrs McLean), Christena, Maggie, Mary, Lizzie and Kate ? all of whom have passed away except Misses Lizzie and Kate, who have their home at "Otter Glen." The deceased was married just seventeen years ago to Miss Annie McKay of Montreal, who is still living. He followed farming, except for a few years when he conducted a woolen mill which had been erected on a stream passing through the property. He was a member of the Blakeney Presbyterian church, and an elder for a number of years. He was possessed of a great love for music and one of the pleasures of his life was his work as leader of the church choir ? work to which he lent himself with that earnestness and zeal which characterized his discharge of every responsibility which rested upon him. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was attended by a very large number of those who desired to show this tribute of respect to his memory, among them being several members of the A.O.U.W., which order the deceased was identified. The service was conducted by Rev Mr Macleod of Blakeney, who spoke in terms of warmest appreciation of the late Mr Young. The pallbearers were Messrs Jas McDougall, Alex D. Snedden, J. Merilees, R. Philip, J. Arthur, and W. Thoburn, M.P. The late Mr Young was a man of kindly geniality, of sterling worth and with a large heartedness such as does not characterize very many men.
