  	1922, Friday June 23, The Almonte Gazette page 8 Mrs David Metcalfe Mrs David Metcalfe passed away on Wednesday, June 14, at her home in Ramsay after a long illness. Her maiden name was Sarah J. Rea and she was born in Ramsay 59 years ago. She is survived by her husband and one daughter, Miss Gertrude M. Metcalfe, of the Civil Service, Ottawa. She leaves to mourn her loss two sisters: Elizabeth (Mrs John L. Paul) of Carleton Place; and Emma (Mrs W.H. Robertson) of Ramsay; and five brothers: George Rea, of Westboro; Joseph W. Rea, of Kincardine, Ont; Wm B. Rea of Dauphin, Man; James H. Rea, of Grand Forks, N.D. and Wesley H. Rea, of Ramsay, Elijah and John are dead. The funeral service which was conducted by Rev J.D. McCrea, her minister, was very impressive. It was attended by a very large concourse of mourners although the weather was wet and the roads heavy. The scene at the beautifully situated Metcalfe home was a notable one. The spacious yard and the long roadway leading to the eminence on which the house is situated, and which commands a magnificent view of the surrounding country were blocked with motor cars and other vehicles and when the long procession wended its way along the beautiful eighth line the occasion was one long to be remembered. On both sides of the house there are many relatives and while very many of these were present there was also a very large representation of neighbours and friends who came to pay their last respects to the much beloved lady. Among those from a distance who attended the funeral were: M r Joseph N Rea, Kincardine; Mr and Mrs Geo Rea, Westboro; Mrs Jas Smith, Pembroke; Mr and Mrs Jas Metcalfe, Beachburg; Mr Wm Metcalfe, Beachburg; Mr Jas Gilmour, Cobden; Mr and Mrs Robt Metcalfe, Pakenham; Mrs Jas Metcalfe, Ottawa, and Miss K. McNabb. The pallbearers were: Messrs John, Hugh, Alex and Wm Metcalfe, Wm J. Rea and W.H. Robertson.
