  	The Almonte Gazette, September 23, 1937, page 5 The Late Thomas Tosh One of the oldest residents of this village passed to rest on Friday last in the person of Mr. Thomas Tosh. He had been ill for many months and last winter had the misfortune to break his hip. Although the latter injury mended, he suffered from a heart condition which was the cause of his demise. He was in his 84th year. Mr. Tosh was born in Ramsay, son of the late William Tosh and Joanne Carswell. In 1887 he was married to Annie Dunlop who survives and on the 27th of July last, they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. When Mr. and Mrs. Tosh were first married they resided in Carleton Place for a short time, and then lived on a farm near Renfrew for nine years, later moving to the 10th line of Pakenham, where they resided until 1917, retiring then, into the village. Mr. Tosh was a stalwart member of the Presbyterian and later the United Church. He was an Oddfellow for over 50 years and was a member of Marion Lodge, Renfrew. He will be greatly missed in this community where he was noted for his jovial disposition and kindly neighbourly acts. Mr. Tosh was a member of a family of 16 children, and is survived now by only two half sisters, Mrs. Alex Clark of Arnprior and Mrs. Wm. Coxford of Almonte. There also remain to mourn his loss besides his sorrowing widow, one son, William of Madoc, and one daughter, Annie, Mrs. Norman Gillan of Forester's Falls, also three grandchildren, the Misses Helen and Norma Gillan and Joanne Tosh. The funeral services were held from his late residence on Sunday afternoon to St. Andrew's United Church and thence to the Union cemetery. Rev. Harold A. Turner, pastor officiated and delivered a very suitable address. The members of Marion Lodge, Renfrew, conducted services at the church and graveside. The pallbearers were Messrs. J. W. Barber, Harold Fishenden, Stanley Groves, Wesley Dark, Erwin Downey and Donald Snedden........
