1887, Friday July 1, The Almonte Gazette front page
The Late Wm Wilson
After a lengthened period of extreme mental and bodily suffering Mr William Wilson, of Appleton, found a happy release in death last Sunday evening. No man in Ramsay more thoroughly enjoyed the respect and esteem of his friends and neighbours, and the announcement of his death carried deep and sincere sorrow to many a heart. The late Mr Wilson was a native of Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He emigrated to this country with his father's family in 1828. Seven years later he cleared the land and built the house in which he has lived ever since. In the year 1836 he married Flora Lammie (who died about eight years ago), and had a family of two daughters and ten sons. Eight sons survive him, five of whom were with him in his last moments. For a number of years he had been an architect, and has left many monuments of his skill and handiwork. A man of more than ordinary intelligence, he had a well stocked library and well stored mind. He beautified his home, and planted with his own hands many trees, which are much admired by travellers passing his late residence. He was a member of the first council of the municipality of Ramsay for two years, but declined re-election. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church for fifty-two years, and an elder for the last fifteen. About three years ago he had an attack of effusion of blood on the brain, from which he never recovered, but gradually became feebler until his death. He long ago made his peace with God, and calmly awaited the time when he would be summoned home. For him death had no terrors, no sting. He had a firm abiding faith in his Saviour, and frequently during the last two years had besought God to take him to himself. "May our latter end be like his."

Family/Spouse: Flora Lammie. Flora was born in 1816 in North Ayrshire, Scotland; died on 25 Oct 1879 in Appleton, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mr Andrew Wilson's Demise
One of Lanark County's Stal-Men Passes Away After Months of Suffering Patiently Borne. After an illness of more than six months, Mr Andrew Wilson, Sr., one of the most prominent men in the political and social life of Lanark county, passed away from a painful disease, gangrene. Mr Wilson was born in the parish of New Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the 20th of February, 1820. He migrated to this country with his father, Mr Jas Wilson, in 1825. His father settled on the farm on the 10th concession of Ramsay where the deceased resided until about twelve years ago when he moved to Appleton, where he has since lived, his son James, succeeding on the farm. They were preceded to this country by the deceased's two uncles, Messrs William and Robert Baird, in 1821. His father bought the farm on which he settled from the Canada company for eight shillings and nine pence per acre. His father died about fifty years ago being denied the pleasures of his labours when the hardships of pioneer life were passed. Mr Andrew Wilson over half-a-century ago married Margaret Bryson, sister of the late Robert Bryson and Mrs James Baird, of this town and of the late Hon George Bryson of Fort Coulonge. Mr and Mrs Wilson had the pleasure of celebrating their golden wedding about twelve years ago, but Mrs Wilson predeceased him about two years ago. To them were born four children, one of whom died in infancy. Maggie, the second eldest, who married Geo Newman, died about 21 years ago, Mary lives in their village home, to which the deceased retired about 12 years ago, and their only son, James, lives on the homestead. Mr Wilson was a man who took an active interest in the public affairs of the county. For more than twenty-five years he was a director of the N.L.A.S., was first vice-president for many years and served as president for a couple of years. He also held an honourable position in the municipal affairs of the county and township. He was township councillor for seven years and deputy reeve several times. He was reeve at the time when the reeves formed the county council. In 1890 he was census commissioner. In religion he was a Presbyterian, a member of St Andrew's church Appleton, and for many years, a manager and treasurer. In politics he was a Conservative and a great admirer of Sir John A. McDonald. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The pallbearers were Messrs R.W. Fumerton, Wm Paul, John Kirkwood, D. Dowling, Wm Garvin and John Stewart. Interment took place in the 8th line Ramsay cemetery. Mr Wilson was a stalwart gentleman of the old school, reared amidst the hardship of pioneer life. In day when characters were formed as strong as the hard ground from whence they drew their sustenance and more rugged than the lofty forest whose crashing fall betokened the advance of civilization. His actions all through life have been tempered with the straightforward honesty and justice of his father's time, which is unfortunately, rapidly becoming all too rare in our too greatly enlightened age. There passes away a man who will be greatly missed for he was greatly admired.

The Late James Wilson
As if in a quiet restful sleep all that is mortal of Mr James Wilson lies in his home on Cameron street, awaiting the last sad offices of the living to the dead. For some time past he had been in poor health, but had always been able to move about until only a few hours before his death, which took place on Tuesday, the result of a paralytic stroke from which he suffered on Monday. The late Mr Wilson, who was 72 years of age, was a son of the late William Wilson, and was born at Appleton, one of a family of whom only three - Andrew at Appleton, Joshua at Groton, South Dakota , and George at Salt Lake, are still living. Nearly forty years ago Mr Wilson was married to Miss Mary J. McPhail, and to them three children were born ? Jessie, who died several years ago, just as she was entering young womanhood; Flora at home, and William at Regina. Mrs Wilson is also still living. The late Mr Wilson was a contractor and architect, and through the Ottawa Valley there stand today many monuments to his refined taste and splendid workmanship. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, widely read and a most interesting companion. He was kind to and considerate of others, with a thoughtfulness beyond that which is not often found in man. He was a member of St Andrew Presbyterian church, and until prevented by physical incapacity was a regular attender at the church services. He was a Liberal in politics and in his time was an active and effective worker in the cause he espoused. Taken all around he was a man with few equals and was one whose passing away leaves the world the poorer in many ways, The funeral takes place on Saturday at 3.30 in the afternoon, the service at the house being a-half-hour earlier.

James married Mary Jane McPhail on 22 Nov 1871. Mary (daughter of Lachlin McPhail and Jessie Fumerton) was born on 8 Jul 1849 in Appleton, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 5 Apr 1927 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
