  	1909, Friday July 30, The Almonte Gazette front page Mr John Glover One of the pioneers of Blakeney (then Rosebank) and one of the oldest settlers of Ramsay township, passed to his eternal rest early Wednesday morning, when Mr John Glover answered the inevitable call in his 83rd year. Mr Glover had enjoyed good health until a few months ago but had since that time gradually weaken from the accumulated strain of many years. Deceased was born in Keith, Scotland, and married there. In 1854 he came to Canada and settled at Rosebank, on the property where the Rosebank House now stands. After living there for some years he moved to Bennie's Corners and finally to Almonte about 1870. Since becoming a citizen of the town Mr Glover had made many friends in his quiet way as was evidenced by the large attendance at the funeral this (Thursday) afternoon. Interment was made from the home of Mr Wm Glover with whom he has resided for the past few years. His wife died seven years ago and three of the children, John, Miss Maggie and Mrs Patterson of Philadelphia, also passed away some years ago. The surviving members of the family are: William in Almonte; Adam in Toronto; Mrs Wm Pattie, Carleton Place; Mrs Sinclair, Calgary; Mrs A. Young and Mrs D. Williams, Almonte. Mr Glover had never taken any active interest in public affairs, but his long life had equipped him with a vast sum of experience which would have ably fitted him for office to trust had he so desired. His life will be long remembered by those with whom he had grown in years.
