In Ramsay, July 16th, Janet McFarlane, relict of Daniel Galbraith, Esq., in her 75th year. 1895, Friday July 19, The Almonte Gazette front page ?b? The Late Mrs D. Galbraith?/b? With deep regret we have to announce the death on Tuesday evening last, (at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr Thomas Houston, 6th con. Ramsay) of Janet McFarlane, relict of Daniel Galbraith, Esq., in her 75th year. Deceased had caught cold a week prior to her death, and in spite of everything that could be done for her by medical skill and the devoted attention of her relatives the spirit left its earthly tenement. News of Mrs Galbraith's demise was received with sorrow on all sides, as she was well known throughout the county, and was greatly esteemed for her qualities of head and heart. Deceased was the eldest child of the late Robert McFarlane. She was born in Scotland in 1821, an when a babe not many weeks old she left the old land with her parents for Canada, they being among the first settlers of these parts. In the fifties she married the late Daniel Galbraith, who for thirty years was one of Lanark county's most prominent and useful public men, filling the most important positions in the gift of the people during the greater part of that time; and his death on Dec. 17th, 1879, created universal sorrow. During her husband life Mrs Galbraith ever proved an able helpmate, and by her hospitality and geniality won a wide circle of warm friends. Seven children are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate and indulgent mother. They are: Mrs Andrew Houston, Mrs Thos. Houston, Mrs Robert Black and Miss Nellie Galbraith of Ramsay; Miss Kate Galbraith and Mrs Thompson Elliott, of Carberry, N.W.T.; and Mr Robert A. Galbraith, of Parry Sound. Deceased was a sister of Messrs. Matthew, James and Robert L. McFarlane, and Mrs A. Baird Appleton, Mrs Wm. Stephenson and Mrs R. Anderson, Carleton Place. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, Ramsay We join the whole community in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
