  	1911, Friday February 24, The Almonte Gazette page 4 The Grim Reaper's Harvest Mr John Stewart Another of Ramsay's old residents has been called upon to part from the things of earth and enter upon the life beyond in the person of Mr John Stewart, who lived near Blakeney on the tenth line. He was taken ill with pneumonia early in January, and never recovered from the disease, the end coming almost at the midnight hour of Wednesday. The late Mr Stewart, who was 81 years of age, was born in Lanark township, but had spent nearly seventy years in Ramsay. About fifty years ago he was married to Margaret Morrison, who died on the 27th May, 1908. Of the family born to them there survive five sons and three daughters, namely, Robert, at home; William, in Kinburn; Charles and George, at Viscount, Sask; Archie E., at the Canadian Soo; Mrs George Murphy and Mrs John Arthur, at Blakeney, and Miss Katie at home. One brother, Mr Robert Stewart of Blakeney, and one sister, Mrs Jamieson Stewart of Bristol Corners, also survive. The funeral take place on Saturday afternoon, leaving the home at half-past one o'clock. The late Mr Stewart was a man of quiet, retiring disposition, and found in his home all that was required to fill the requirements of his unassuming life, and he was a good neighbour, ready to help another when the occasion arose. In that home the sunset of his life has been quietly spent, the members of his family relieving him the responsibilities as advancing years caused them to weigh upon him.
