- 1912, Friday June 21, The Almonte Gazette, front page
?b?Mr Gilbert Forgie?/b?
Mr Gilbert Forgie had been suffering for some time from cancer of the stomach, and had been gradually growing weaker, until the end came on Friday, a welcome release to him from the suffering he endured with fortitude and patience, tenderly cared for by his daughter, Miss A.J. Forgie, and his granddaughter, Miss M. Cavers. The late Mr Forgie, who was in his 85th year, was born in Lanark township, a son of the late Gilbert Forgie, and one of a family of twelve children of whom five are still living. These are Mrs John Simpson of Winnipeg; David Forgie, of Cleveland, Ohio; Henry of Toronto; Robert in the west, and James in Almonte. A good many years ago he was married to Agnes Baird, and to them were born four children. Of these Mrs Thos Cavers is dead, and Robert of Ottawa, Graham on the homestead in Ramsay and Mrs P.E. Young of Sault Ste Marie, are still living. His first wife died quite a number of years ago, and he was married again, to Jane Dunfield, who died about sixteen years ago. To them were born three children, Jas G., at Renfrew, and Miss A.J. and David at the home in Almonte, to which Mr Forgie came about twenty-five years ago. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended, quite a number of relatives and friends coming from a distance to be present. The services were condcuted by Rev Mr Rattee. The pallbearers were sons of Mr Forgie's old neighbours when he was in Ramsay ? John Stewart, Donald Stewart, John Neilson, John W. Neilson, M. Aikenhead and J. McFarlane. The late Mr Forgie was a man of public spirit, and he took a deep interest in matters that were for the general good. he was an ardent Liberal in politics, and was one of the oldest officials of the North Lanark Agricultural Society, of which he had been an honourary director since advancing years compelled his retirement from the active list. But of all the interests that engaged his attention none were so dear to his heart as his church. he was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was one of the most active and generous in building of St John's and was always a liberal contributor to its support. he was always an active and energetic man, and it is only a few weeks since his familiar figure had been missed from the Express wagon as his son went his daily rounds
