  Death	30 Jan 1911	Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
  	Cause: Pneumonia
  	1911, Friday February 3, The Almonte Gazette front page Mrs Wm Simpson Death claimed another old resident of Ramsay on Monday last in the person of Mrs Wm Simpson, whose home for quite a few years has been on the ninth line, near Almonte. Deceased had not enjoyed robust health for some time, and when she was seized with pneumonia just a week before her death she lacked the necessary vitality to combat the disease. Deceased was a daughter of the late Graham Forgie, and was born in Lanark township a few miles from Lanark village, one of a family of twelve, six of whom are still living. These are Messrs Gilbert and James of Almonte, Mrs John Simpson in Winnipeg, David in Cleveland, Robert in Ottawa and Henry in Toronto. Those who are dead are John, William, Mrs Campbell, Thomas and Andrew, and now the subject of this notice. Deceased was married to Mr Wm Simpson over fifty-five years, and to them twelve children were born, two of whom died in infancy. Those living are Chas, at White Lake; Mrs Alex Scott and Mrs W.J. Scott, at Sault Ste Marie; Mrs Dodds in the west; Mrs John Metcalf, William and John in Ramsay; and Misses Martha, Belle and Herb at home. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery and was attended by a large number of friends and neighbours. The deceased was a woman of a quiet disposition, but possessed of kindly heart which made her a welcome sympathetic visitor where trouble was until failing health prevented such ministrations. She was a member of St John's church, but has been unable to attend the services for some time, but enjoyed such ministrations as her pastor could impart. Her life was one of simplicity, and was lived in a clear hope of the home beyond. 1911, Friday February 10, The Almonte Gazette front page LOCAL NEWS ? In the obituary of Mrs Wm Simpson in last week's Gazette the name of Mrs John W. Neilson of the eleventh line of Ramsay, who is a daughter of the deceased was overlooked.
