  	1915, Friday April 2, The Almonte Gazette front page Graham Forgie Drops Dead Mr Graham Forgie dropped dead in the barnyard near his house on Monday evening. He had a sale during the day, and after the crowd had gone away he went out to do the necessary chores. As he did not return as soon as he was expected to Mrs Forgie went out to see what had caused the delay and was shocked to find her husband lying prostrate just outside the barn door. Neighbours were summoned by telephone and the family doctor called, but life had departed and nothing could be done. The cause of death was thought to be heart failure, caused by exhaustion following a busy and exciting day. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and the many who attended showed to what extent the sympathy of the community went out to the bereaved family.
