  	1905, Friday December 15, The Almonte Gazette page 4 ?b?Mr Wm Smith?/b? Called Away Ramsay's Oldest Resident, Who Had Seen Many Changes Come and Go It is not given to many to live through the years and changes of nearly a century, as was the experiences of Mr Wm Smith, of Ramsay, who passed to the unseen world on Wednesday of this week in his 93rd year. The deceased was born in the Brig o'Johnston in Scotland on July 2nd, 1813, and in 1836 he accompanied his father and two sisters to Canada, his earlier years of residence in this country being spent in Huntley, after which Mr Smith moved to the farm upon which he spent more than half a century. In 1853 he was married to Miss Agnes Neilson, daughter of the late John Neilson, and to them, were born eight children, one of whom died in infancy, and two others (William in 1884, and James in 1900) in later years. The sons were: William, John N., in Almonte; Robert, at Cornwall, and James. The daughters, Miss Agnes, Mary and Jean are at home. The deceased was the last of his father's family to pass way, and the four male representatives of the family left are Mr John N., and his son Manning, and Mr Robert and his son. The deceased had been in bed for the past three months, and his death was the result of the wearing out of the human machinery which had for so many years been in active operation. The funeral takes place today (Friday) at two o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.
