  	1927, Friday December 23, The Almonte Gazette front page Miss Gertrude Muir Miss Gertrude Muir, who had been a resident of Almonte for the past twenty years, died on Sunday morning after a three weeks' illness of pneumonia. The passing of Miss Muir occurs under particularly sad circumstances. Since the death of her sister, the late Mrs W.S. MacDowall, cared for the three motherless boys, the youngest being then little more than a baby. Three weeks ago Mr MacDowall himself died. Miss Muir was suffering from a severe cold, Pneumonia followed. The family are well known and their friends are glad to learn that Ross MacDowall the eldest boy who is a medical student at Queen's University, had been able to make a happy arrangement for his little brothers, Donald and Dawson, whereby the home will be kept together. Miss Muir was a daughter late Roland Muir, on Montreal. She had two sisters and one brother, the late Mrs Mary MacDowall, of Almonte; the late Mrs Lilian Thompson, on Montreal; and Mr George Muir, of Montreal. Mr Muir attended the funeral on Tuesday. The funeral service which was conducted by Rev J.R. MacCrimmon, assisted by Rev J.T.E. Blanchard, was very impressive. The remains were laid to rest in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs Andrew Stewart, B.K. Gunn, John Aspinall, M.R. MacFarlane, John Lindsay, and Max Young.
