  	1934, Thursday August 2, The Almonte Gazette, front page Mrs Thos Craig Called By Death Body of Aged Lady Found In Field Near Her Home Relatives and neighbours were shocked this Thursday morning to discover the body of Mrs Thos Craig in a barley field on the farm of her son, Thomas Craig, eighth line of Ramsay, one mile from Leckie's Corners. Mrs Craig who had been ailing for some time was in her 76th year. She had been missing since Tuesday night and it is thought she had gone for a walk and lost her way. It is believed she had been dead for about 24 hours at the time the body was found. Death was probably due to a heart attack. An intensive search was made for Mrs Craig all day Wednesday on the presumption she had wandered some distance. It was not until this morning that she was found in a barley field between the house and the road. Mrs Craig's husband predeceased her ten years ago and since that time she had made her home with the son on the homestead where the Craig family had been for three generations. Left to mourn the deceased are one son, Thomas and three daughters, Mrs Hough (Emma) of White Lake; Mrs Albright (Bertha) of Toledo, Ohio, and Miss Effie of Sidney, Ohio. The funeral will be held from the late home of the deceased on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. 1934, Thursday August 9, The Almonte Gazette, page 4 Mrs Thos Craig An aged and respected resident of Ramsay in the person of Mrs Thos Craig passed away on Wednesday August 1st, at the age of 76 years.
