  	1914, Friday December 11, The Almonte Gazatte?b? Mrs. Robert Bryson?/b? Mr Jas Wilson of Appleton and Mr Jas Carswell of Dunraven, Quebec, nephewsof the late Mrs Bryson, were in town on Monday making arrangements for her funeral and on Tuesday her remains were brought to Almonte by two other nephews, Messrs Allan and James Carswell, and were laid beside those of her husband, in the eighth line cemetery, the funeral taking place from the C.P.R. station on the arrival of the morning train from Ottawa. The late Mrs Bryson, whose maiden name was Janet Carswell, was born in Paisley, Scotland and came to Canada when she was fifteen years of age.. Her father settled in the township of Huntley, and there she had her home until she was married to Mr Robt Bryson about sixty-six years ago, when she came with him to Ramsay and lived for many years on the farm on the eleventh line now owned by Mr John Neilson. Mr and Mrs Bryson had no family, but an adopted daughter lived with them until she was married to Mr Thomas Bamford, then a resident of Almonte. As the years passed, Mr and Mrs Bryson prospered, and a number of years ago they moved to Almonte, where they enjoyed respite from their labours. Mr Bryson died fourteen years ago, Mrs Bryson continued a resident of Almonte until about four years ago, when she went to the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, but afterwards moved to the Perley Home at Ottawa, but for the past two years she was with her nephew, Mr Allan Carswell, at Campbell's Bay. Here she enjoyed good health, notwithstanding she was in her 89th year, until six weeks ago she was stricken with paralysis, but was recovering when there was a recurrence of the trouble and she passed away on Saturday morning. the late Mrs Bryson was a bright woman and was possessed of a memory that was almost encyclopaedic in its ability to retain an accurate record of passing events, more especially insofar as dates were concerned. As a consequence, she was a most interesting conversationalist and time spent in her company was both interesting and educative. On more than one occasion the Gazatte was indebted to her for the verification of dates and facts not otherwise attainable. She saw many changes take place in her 74 years in Canada, and in the early days had her share in the transforming of the almost unbroken forest into fields of various products. Deceased leaves one brother, Mr George Carswell of Calumet Island. The late Mrs Bryson was a sister-in-law of the late Hon George Bryson of Fort Coulonge.
