  	1919, Friday August 19, The Almonte Gazette, page 4 ?b?RODERICK CHISHOLM DEAD?/b? Came Home Ill from Oshawa Three Weeks Ago. The death of Mr. Roderick Chisholm occurred somewhat suddenly, though not unlooked for, on Sunday evening., Mr. Chisholm, who had been working at Oshawa, came home about three weeks ago, suffering from kidney and heart trouble. He gradually became worse, and later pneumonia developed, which resulted fatally. The late Mr. Chisholm, was born in Inverness, Scotland, one of a family of twelve, the youngest of whom is living in St. Louis and had not seen the deceased since he was a boy of six years. About three years ago the late, Mr. Chisholm paid a visit to the land of his birth. Twenty years ago he was married to Miss Jessie Cameron, eldest daughter of the late Robt. Cameron, and to them seven children were born, five of whom, together with their mother, are still living. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon from the home on Union Street to the eighth line cemetery, the services at the house and grave being conducted by Rev. S. G. Brown. The pallbearers were: Dr. J. T. Kirkland, Messrs, W. C. Pollock, P. J. Campbell, And. Dunlop, McIntyre, N. Washburn. Besides Mr. Chisholm 's brother, Mrs. R. Cameron, Mr. Robt. Fotheringham and Mr. M. Anderson, of Ottawa, were, present at. the funeral. Misses Elizabeth and Mary Cameron, sisters of Mrs. Chisholm, were at Portland, Me., and did not learn of Mr. Chisholm's death until their return to Ottawa on Wednesday evening, and they came up on Thursday morning, The late Mr. Chisholm was a dyer, and with him it was really a profession, as he was a chemist of rare ability and experience, and had held important positions in some of the largest manufacturing establishments. He spent several years in the employment of the Rosamond Woolen Co., and while there he made many friends by his genial and friendly manner, and his death at the comparatively early age of 55 years, has caused sincere regret and deep sympathy. He was a Presbyterian in religion.
