The funeral will take place from her late residence Clinton St., to St Paul's Anglican church, on Saturday, January 1, 1944. Interment in Auld Kirk cemetery. 1944, Thursday January 6, The Carleton Place Canadian page 7 ?b?Mrs Duncan Forgie?/b? Following a week's illness the death occurred this Thursday morning of Mrs Duncan Forgie at her home in Almonte. Deceased was the former Margaret Switzer and was born at Ashton, a daughter of the late Martin Switzer and his wife, Susan McFadden. Upwards of 53 years ago she was married to Mr Forgie at Almonte and the couple continued to live here ever since. There were three children, two daughters and a son, namely, Miss Hattie E., with the Penman Company, in Paris, Ont; Jessie, who died in Almonte in 1941, and Edward M. Forgie with the Manufacturer's Life, in Toronto. There are also three grandchildren, Margaret, Jean and Dorothy, of Toronto. Mrs Forgie leaves a brother and a sister, namely, James Switzer, of Port Arthur, and Mrs Edward Gagain (Harriet), of Almonte. Three sisters and two brothers predeceased her, Kate and Mary in the U.S.; Hannah (Mrs Edwards), of Ottawa; Abraham and Joseph, of Ashton. The funeral will be held from the family home, Clinton street, Saturday afternoon to St Paul's Anglican church with service at two o'clock. Interment will be made in the Auld Kirk cemetery. The sympathy of many friends goes out to Mr Duncan Forgie in his double bereavement. To have lost his wife a day after the death of a brother, Mr Wm Henry Forgie, in Toronto is a sad experience that is spared most people. The death of his daughter, a few years ago, was another sore bereavement. ? Almonte Gazette
