Morris James Gilmour, formerly of Almonte and a well-known resident of Ottawa for some years, died at an Ottawa hospital, Saturday, after an illness of about two weeks' duration. Mr. Gilmour, who was in his 40th year, had many friends both in Ottawa and Almonte. Born in Almonte, he lived here until September 1915, when he enlisted in the 73rd Battalion at Montreal. He was wounded on the Somme on November 11, 1916, and was discharged in 1918 as being unfit for service owning to disability. Returning to Almonte he went to Ottawa in 1925 and was on the Senate Staff. He was a member of Bethany United Church. Surviving him are his wife, formerly Annie MacIntosh; one son, Roy; two daughters, Margaret and Norah, at home; two brothers, Harry and Roy, in Ottawa, and two sisters, Mrs. W. Byrne, and Mrs. Stanley Turnbull, Newark, N.J. The funeral was held from his home, 76 Harmer Avenue, at 12:30 p.m. to Almonte by motor. The body was received at the Auld Kirk Cemetery by a large assembly of returned men who were comrades of the deceased. The Rev. J. R. MacCrimmon conducted the service and after a general salute the remains was committed to the vault. 1931, Friday January 9, The Almonte Gazette front page
