?b?John McGill Is Called By Death?/b?
Respected Citizen of Pakenham Twp. Passes At Great Age of 92 Years.
There passed away at his home in Blakeney one of the most outstanding figures in the district, connecting the present generation with the pioneer life of nearly a century ago, in the person of John McGill who died Friday evening last. Born in Ireland in 1842, he came to this country with his parents at the age of seven years. The family resided at Bell's Corners during the year 1849 and came to Pakenham township in 1850, carving themselves a homestead out of the bush that covered the entire country at that time. This old McGill homestead is located on the 11th line of Pakenham and is still occupied by the family in the person of W.T. McGill well known throughout the district as a fox rancher of broad experience. The late Mr McGill resided on the homestead until 16 years ago, when he retired to reside in Blakeney, leaving the labours of over 60 years to a new generation.
Like most young men who pioneered in this part of Canada he worked in the lumber camps in his early days. He was and expert hewer with the broad axe and could recall many interesting experiences in connection with those exciting chapters of life in the forests along the Bonnechere and other tributaries of the Ottawa as well as lumber camps in the state of Michigan.
A veteran of the Fenian Raid trouble of 1866, Mr McGill enlisted with a detachment of the 42nd regiment that was recruited at Pakenham under the late Major O'Neill. He went to Cornwall and remained with the colours until the troops were disbanded. In his time he took an interest in municipal affairs of the township being one of the reeves of Pakenham, in the early days.
Married in 1870.
Mr McGill was married in Almonte in 1870 by Rev Mr Gordon to Miss Catherine McKay of Lanark Township, who survives him at the age of 85.
This remarkable couple having entered wedded life three years after the young Dominion was born, celebrated their golden jubilee in July, 1930, the occasion being marked by kindly felicitations from a wide circle of friends throughout the Ottawa Valley.
He leaves in addition to his wife, Three sons and three daughters, namely James of the 11th line of Pakenham, John of the 9th line of Pakenham; and Wm T. on the homestead; Mrs Alex Barker of Ramsay; Miss Susie at home and Miss Lou of the department of national defence, Ottawa. Of his own immediate family there is one brother, Alex of Almonte.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the late residence of deceased in Blakeney, where service were conducted by Rev George F. Warren of the United Church, Blakeney, assisted by the former pastor, Rev William Merrilees. Interment was made in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were Jas Bingham, Wesley McCann, James Barker, James Timmins, S.J. McAdam and George Smithson.
Old-time comrades of the Fenian Raid, Alex Tait, and Thomas Needham of Pakenham were in attendance.
The numerous floral offerings and exceptionally large number of those who attended attested to the esteem in which Mr McGill was held.

The funeral which took place on Sunday, at 1.30 p.m. from her husband's residence to the eighth line cemetery, was one of the largest ever seen in this section, testifying to the universal esteem and to the deep sympathy felt for the bereaved husband and other friends. The religious services were conducted by the Rev F. Miller. The pall-bearers were Messrs: Wesley McCann, Samuel McAdam, John Hawes, Greville, Toshack, William Snedden, jr., and Alex Barker.

Mary married George Thomas Milton Graham in 1903.

?b?H. Lorne McGill

?/b?Passes Suddenly
Was Engaged Installing A Refrigeration Plant When Fatally Stricken. Many friends and acquaintances of Mr H. Lorne McGill were shocked on Wednesday to learn that he had died suddenly in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital Tuesday night, a few hours after he had been admitted suffering from a heart attack. He came from the Coast a few weeks ago and was engaged installing a refrigeration plant in the former West store property recently acquired by a Lanark County farmers' syndicate. Born In Ramsay, Mr McGill was 52 years of age and was born in Ramsay, a son of the late Thomas McGill and his wife Sarah Connery. While he was still in his teens the family moved to the Pacific Coast and he worked with his father in the carpentry and contracting business. Twenty-seven years ago he returned to this district and married Miss Mayme Stewart, daughter of Mrs Jno Stewart of Ramsay and the late Mr Stewart. For about ten years he made extensive installations of Delco lighting systems throughout the rural parts of Lanark County. He also built the business block on Mill Street, Almonte, at present occupied by the Superior Confectionary, barber shop and apartments. Later, he went to Hawkesbury where he spent several years as an employee of lumbering interests, after which he returned to the Coast.

Purchases Plant
When a number of Lanark County farmers decided to get together and establish a refrigeration plant in this section some months ago, arrangement were made to secure the Wesley West store property. They got in touch with Mr McGill, in British Columbia, and asked him to look up suitable refrigeration equipment and undertake the work of bringing it here and installing it. This he did, buying a plant from the Hudson Bay Company at Calgary. The machinery arrived some weeks ago and Mr McGill began the work of installation. It was while engaged in these activities that he was fatally stricken with a heart ailment from which he had been suffering for some time.

Almonte lost one of its highly regarded citizens in the death on Wednesday, March 5th, of Mrs Edward James.

Deceased, whose maiden name was Jessie Jane Syme, was born 57 years ago, the eldest daughter of the late Peter T. Syme and his wife, Sarah McGill, of Ramsay. Thirty-five years ago she married Edward James of Almonte, who survives. Also left to mourn are three brothers and two sisters, namely, John of Almonte; -652- Catherine, Mrs Hugh McMillan, Ramsay; Peter of Bennies' Corners; Albert of Carleton Place and Violet, Mrs Archie Mick of Jackson, Mich. The loss of Mrs James is one which will be keenly felt in this community. Possessed of a kindly disposition she was beloved by all.

Funeral of Mrs Edward James
A last tribute of esteem and respect was paid to the memory of the late Mrs Edward James, Friday afternoon, March 7th, at her funeral which was held from the family residence on Reserve Street, to Bethany Church and the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The church was filled to capacity, many of those present being members of the congregation among whom she had served so faithfully in the various women's organizations. The pastor, Rev W.J. Scott, conducted the service, taking as his text the words: "Weep not; she is not dead." Because of the prominence of deceased in church work, Mr Scott, made a direct reference to some of her fine qualities. He told of her association with the various branches of the congregational organization and stressed the cheerfulness with which she devoted her time to these activities. There was nothing grudging about the way Mrs James performed the various tasks that she undertook. Her only regret seemed to be that she had not more time to place at the disposal of the church and its interests. Death came to Mrs James at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, after a brief illness. The pallbearers were Messrs O.L. James, Lorne James, Ross Barr and Arnold Metcalfe of Almonte, Clare Syme of Ramsay and Jas Crawford of Carleton Place. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved husband and the brothers and sisters of deceased.

Jessie married Thomas Edward James on 4 Mar 1905 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Thomas (son of Thomas Herbert James and Jane Rennie Deachman) was born on 10 Oct 1880 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 4 Mar 1956 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 6 Mar 1956 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Death of Peter T. Syme Removes Another Popular Ramsay Farmer
The funeral of the late Peter T. Syme held from the family home, 7th Concession of Ramsay on Friday afternoon, June 6th, was one of the largest ever seen in this part of Lanark County. Mr Syme was in his 63rd year and died suddenly of a heart attack on the morning of Wednesday, June 4th. Outside the immediate family circle, few if any knew that Mr Syme had been under the shadow of an ominous heart condition for some time. He maintained the same cheerful attitude towards his many friends and kept whatever worries he had to himself. He was born on the Syme homestead, 10th Line of Ramsay, a son of the late Peter T. Syme and his wife, Sarah McGill. He attended the 10th Line School and later was a student for a time at the local High School. In Oct., 1911, he married Mabel G. Snedden, a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs David Snedden and for four years he ran the Snedden farm on a partnership basis with his father-in-law. In 1916, Mr Snedden died and the farm was for sale. Mr Syme did not feel like purchasing at that time and he moved to Brockville where he was employed in the Briscoe Motor Car Plant and later he made munitions for the first World War. After spending some 17 months in these industrial pursuits, Mr Syme and his family moved back to this section and he purchased the Anderson homestead on the 7th Concession of Ramsay. He continued to farm there until the time of his death. During the last 15 years, his son, Clare, was in partnership with his father in running the farm. Mr Syme leaves his wife and a family of two, a son and a daughter ? Clare T. on the homestead and Helen Myrtle (Mrs Thomas J. Nugent) of Braeside. There are, also, two sisters: Katherine (Mrs Hugh McMillan) of Almonte and Violet (Mrs Archie Mick) of Jackson, Mich. A brother, John, and sister, Jessie (Mrs Ed James) of the Almonte, predeceased him some years ago. The funeral was held on Friday afternoon for the family home with Rev Wm Sunter of the Pakenham and Blakeney charges conducted the services at the house and the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs Jas Snedden, Jack Snedden, James Steele of Ramsay; John Lindsay of Almonte; George Noonan of Pakenham and James Miller of Carleton Place. The sudden death of Mr Syme following so closely on that of another popular Ramsay farmer who resided in the same neighbourhood was a great shock to people in this part of Lanark County. The late Mr Syme (Pete to his host of friends) was a popular man. He was fond of all kinds of sports, especially hockey, baseball and softball. He played baseball for years with teams at Blakeney and was always a supporter of hockey in Almonte, following the teams to other points in the Ottawa Valley whenever he could manage it. He never held public offices, and was a member of the Blakeney United congregation. He was a very cheerful chap a good neighbour and friend, one of those whose loss in a community will be felt for a long time. There were over 40 floral offerings among which were the following pieces from organizations and business concerns: Ramsay Women's Institute; Peterson's Softball Club, The Snow Club, Mississippi Motors and Staff, Carleton Place; Hotel Almonte and Staff, Teachers and Pupils, Bennies' Corners School, Bennie's Corners Softball Team, Almonte Flour Mill, Cedar Hill Hunt Club, Long Lake Hunt Club, The Blakeney Ladies' Aid, Employees of Renfrew Woollen Mill, Carleton Place

Obituary

COXFORD, Norman Stewart WWII Veteran 426 Squadron - On Wings of Fire Stew passed away quietly on Sunday, August 8th at home, surrounded by family. At the age of 93, Stew was the last living child of Maud (Armstrong) and Thomas Coxford. Stew valued family and friends above all, and despite being the second youngest he was the family patriarch (survived by sister-in-law Rita and 1st cousin Kathleen). He was the driving force behind many family events and traditions, such as an annual sleigh ride, reunions, Christmas dinners and any excuse for a gathering. In his final years, he held a weekly oyster and martini luncheon at Big Daddy's, west end, where all family and friends were welcome. Stew treasured many meals with three and even four generations at his table. An accomplished business man for 70 years, he began his career working with the Journal, followed by Beach Foundry, Carsons and then onto the Laurentian Club where he retired at the ripe old age of 75. He was also a consultant throughout the years, and particularly loved working with the Kanata Storage gang. Stew volunteered for the armed forces when he was in his early twenties, attended officer's training, and served as a navigator on a Lancaster bomber flying 18 missions. He was a proud veteran, served on the 426 reunion organizing committee, and instilled in his children and grandchildren a respect for the armed forces and those who fight for peace and freedom. Stew was a consummate storyteller. He cultivated a great circle of friends throughout the years, many lifelong, and stayed in contact with letters, phone calls and we all know about the emails in recent years!! Predeceased by both his first wife, Connie Coxford, mother of Sharon Lang, Norm (deceased)(Susan), Leith (Al Trick), Laurie (Neil Tweedale), Lynn (Jim Wainright), Tom (Karen Clark) his second wife, Ora Cannon Coxford, mother of Craig (deceased) (Cheryl), Kim (Colin Rowan - deceased), and Kirk (Cheryl).

Stew enjoyed spending time with his three great grandchildren: Lauren, Emma, and Drew. In addition to his immediate family, Stew was a strong influence on his numerous nieces and nephews always making time for advice or reason. A service will be held at St. Richard's Anglican Church, 8 Withrow Ave. (at the corner of Merivale Rd.) Thursday, August 12th at 11 a.m. followed by a reception.

Clare Syme Dies Suddenly
The sudden death of Clare T. (Pete) Syme of R.R. 1, Almonte occurred a, the Almonte General Hospital at 12.30 a.m. on Monday, May 13, 1974, following but a few hours' illness. He was 61. Clare farmed on the home farm at Bennie's Corners, and also operated a milk truck route for several years, and for the last two years was employed with Lindsay Farm Equipment in Almonte. Born in Ramsay Township on May 15, 1912, he was a son of Mrs. Mabel (Snedden) Syme, and the late, Peter T. Syme. He was a member of the United Church. He is survived by his wife, the former lone Boal, whom he married at Pakenham on June 10, 1942; his aged mother, Mrs. Peter T. Syme; a daughter Marilyn (Mrs. James Naismith) of Pakenham; a grandson, Matthew; and one sister, Myrtle (Mrs. Tom Nugent) of South March. Clare attended school at Bennie's Corners on the 8th line of Ramsay and continued on in high school in Almonte. He was always ready to participate in sports during these years. He loved the game of ball and always found time to play the game. He used to practice at home on the farm by getting his younger sister, Myrtle, to throw the ball as hard as she could either at him or to either side and he would field it and fire it back at her, and through time Myrtle also became a most capable player and used to give Clare some tough hard throws to handle. As years went by, and particularly after the 1939-45 war when the different softball leagues got organized again, Clare helped organize and coach the "Almonte Garage" team which was sponsored by Gordon Hill in 1945, until 1948, and was then sponsored by George Gomme as "Gomme's Lumber Kings," which continued until about 1952, during which time they were North Lanark League champions on different occasions. Clare continued playing with other teams, some in Almonte and others in Pakenham until his early 50's, and was always ready and willing to teach the younger players the many aspects of the game and fair play. He was a most capable umpire and performed this duty for many years. His personal contribution to the game of ball in this area has been unmeasurable, and he always did it most willingly. As a curler, Clare started with the old irons and continued on with the granites, and was President of the Almonte Curling Club on two different occasions. He was later presented with an honourary life membership pin by J. C. Smithson, the then president, for his contribution to the Almonte Curling Club in particular and curling in the valley in general. Clare represented Centre 24 in the Ottawa Valley as Centre Convenor for many years, which was a large responsibility and was most capably handled by him as he understood the many problems and pitfalls involved in scheduling the many competitions and events throughout the Centre. One competition that Clare was responsible for founding was the 10-pointer Mixed Bonspiel and was restricted to the Almonte curlers, except during the few years that Pakenham had ice problems, at which time they were included. All area curlers will understand and remember the great success this particular event became and the fellowship it created at the club level. In curling as in other sports, Clare always played to win, but in the event of a loss he took it gracefully and as a good sport but be would be ready for the return match. Clare really liked people and always had time to say "hello," have a chat about last night's hockey game or bet on tomorrow night's game, and even give odds on certain occasions. Our community will miss this great sportsman and his contributions. The funeral was held from the Kerry Funeral Home, 154 Elgin street, Almonte, on Wednesday, May 15th, at 2.30 p.m., with burial at Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev. A. C. Dodds of Pakenham United Church conducted the funeral services. Pallbearers were Arthur Munro, Percy Timmins, Wilfred Lindsay, Jack C. Smithson, Donald Lockhart and Bill Boal.

Clare married Margaret Ione "Oney" Boal on 10 Jun 1942 in Pakenham, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Margaret (daughter of Stanley Boal and Janet Maybelle Millar) was born in 1916 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 19 May 2001 in Arnprior, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 2001 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
