Robert Yuill Passes Away
Ramsay township has again been called upon to part with another of her old residents, in the person of Mr Robt Yuill, he having answered the enviable call early this Thursday morning. He had suffered from gangrene in his feet for the past two years, at times being called upon to bear most excruciating pain, but through it all he was calm and patient and bore his suffering with a fortitude begotten of his trust in and reliance upon Him whose grace and strength are at all times and under all circumstances more than sufficient. The late Mr Yuill, who was in his 88th year, was born on the farm upon which he spent most of his life, and is the last one of the family of his father, James Yuill, who was one of the pioneer of Lanark county. He was married to Agnes Taylor, a daughter of the late John Taylor of Union Hall neighbourhood, and who died seven years ago. To them a family of four girls and five boys were born. Of these John T. and Mrs Albert G. McFarlane are dead. Those living are James D. and Alex at Mather, Man.; Wm H. at Winnipeg; Mrs Wm Gilmour of Ramsay and Bella, Robt and Maude at home. The late Mr Yuill was a blacksmith, having served his apprenticeship with Mr Jas Lafferty, and afterward went to Illinois, where he lived until called home by the death of his brother. His residence in Perth gave him a title to recognition at the Old Boy's Reunion held there a few years ago, at which he was present, and greatly enjoyed the meeting with old friends and acquaintances. He was of a quiet disposition and never sought public office, but was a useful resident, a warm friend, and a splendid neighbour. He was a member of St John's church, for many years, but, though strongly desirous of doing so, he was never able to attend a service in the church since the union of the two congregations. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock, from his home to the eighth line cemetery.

A Startlingly Sudden Death
A Popular Young Ramsay Farmer Called Away Without a Moment's Warning
One of the saddest and most sudden deaths that have taken place in this part of the country for some time was met with by Mr John Taylor Yuill, eldest son of Mr Robert Yuill, of the 6th line of Ramsay, on the morning of Sunday last. That morning, while taking out a team of horses to water them, he stumbled on a clump of clay and fell on his knees. His brother, who saw him fall, took the halters out of his hands, when he fell forward on his face. His sister, who saw the occurrence from the door, twenty yards away, called her father to go to him, Mr Yuill ran out immediately, but deceased was then insensible, and his breathing was scarcely perceptible. Picking him up, they carried him tenderly into the house, but this was no more then done when he passed away, death is supposed to have resulted from the rupturing of the spinal cord. It vary sad when death results from such a slight cause, and reminds us all how uncertain a tenure of life the strongest have, for the deceased was the very picture of health in our midst called forth more sincere sympathy than has been shown to the family and relatives in this instance. This was shown in a marked manner at the funeral, which took place on Tuesday last, and which, in spite of the very bad state of the roads, was one of the largest seen in the township of Ramsay for a long time. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev Mr Mitchell, of St John's church, and at the grave by the members of Court Excelsior No 79, I.O.F., Almonte, of which the late Mr Yuill was a member Between thirty and forty of the members were present, six of whom acted as pall bearers. The impressive funeral ceremony of the order was read at the grave by Messrs R. Hill, R.W. Haydon and P.C. McGregor. The deceased was insured in the order of Foresters to the amount of $1,000 in favour of his wife. The late Mr Yuill was only 26 years of age. His was of an unusually strong and robust frame, was gifted with a most genial disposition, and was highly respected by all who knew him. He was married in June last to Miss Hattie J Bowes, of Admaston who at the time of the accident was on a visit to her parents. The sad news was a heavy shock to the young wife, and both she and the rest of the bereaved relatives have the deepest sympathy of the whole community in the trail they have had to pass through.

Gilmour, Miss Isabel Yuill, and Miss Maude Yuill, all of Almonte, and one sister-in-law, Miss Margaret Yuill of Carleton Place, who made her home with her late sister and brother-in-law.
