The Late Thomas Tosh
One of the oldest residents of this village passed to rest on Friday last in the person of Mr. Thomas Tosh. He had been ill for many months and last winter had the misfortune to break his hip. Although the latter injury mended, he suffered from a heart condition which was the cause of his demise. He was in his 84th year. Mr. Tosh was born in Ramsay, son of the late William Tosh and Joanne Carswell. In 1887 he was married to Annie Dunlop who survives and on the 27th of July last, they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. When Mr. and Mrs. Tosh were first married they resided in Carleton Place for a short time, and then lived on a farm near Renfrew for nine years, later moving to the 10th line of Pakenham, where they resided until 1917, retiring then, into the village. Mr. Tosh was a stalwart member of the Presbyterian and later the United Church. He was an Oddfellow for over 50 years and was a member of Marion Lodge, Renfrew. He will be greatly missed in this community where he was noted for his jovial disposition and kindly neighbourly acts. Mr. Tosh was a member of a family of 16 children, and is survived now by only two half sisters, Mrs. Alex Clark of Arnprior and Mrs. Wm. Coxford of Almonte. There also remain to mourn his loss besides his sorrowing widow, one son, William of Madoc, and one daughter, Annie, Mrs. Norman Gillan of Forester's Falls, also three grandchildren, the Misses Helen and Norma Gillan and Joanne Tosh. The funeral services were held from his late residence on Sunday afternoon to St. Andrew's United Church and thence to the Union cemetery. Rev. Harold A. Turner, pastor officiated and delivered a very suitable address. The members of Marion Lodge, Renfrew, conducted services at the church and graveside. The pallbearers were Messrs. J. W. Barber, Harold Fishenden, Stanley Groves, Wesley Dark, Erwin Downey and Donald Snedden........

Thomas married Annie Dunlop in 1887. Annie (daughter of Charles Dunlop and Anne Houston) was born on 19 Nov 1856 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 11 Oct 1947 in Foresters Falls, Ross Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Pakenham Union Cemetery, Pakenham, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Woman Killed As Car Upset On Steep Hill
Mrs William Cannon Met Death
On Gatineau Highway On Sunday
Mr Cannon and Cephas Tosh Were Also In Car
But Escaped With Minor Injuries.
Mrs Cannon Died Shortly After Accident.
Lauriault's Hill, near Kingsmere, which is considered to be one of the most dangerous pieces of highway in the Gatineau district, and which has witnessed many fatal accidents in recent years, claimed another victim on Sunday, when Mrs William Cannon, of Almonte, motoring with her husband and a nephew. Mr Cephas Tosh, sustained such injuries that she died shortly after the automobile in which she was a passenger turned over in negotiating a bad turn over in negotiating a bad turn on the hill. The accident occurred about 12.20 in the afternoon after Mr. Tosh who did not know the district, had taken the wrong road, and, upon driving down the steep hill, was unable to brake his car, which he managed to keep to the roadway until negotiating the last turn, almost at right angles, where the car swerved into the ditch and turned over. Mrs Cannon, who was 70 years of age, was thrown out, and in falling sustained a fracture of the skull and internal injuries which resulted in her death and hour later, while Gauthier's ambulance from Hull was en route to take her to the hospital. Mr Tosh, who was driving the car, and Mr. Cannon, escaped other injury than a few bruises and scratches. Following the accident, Mr. Tosh succeeded in telephoning in to the city from a farm house close by, and Dr. Andrew Davies rushed to the scene in his car, but found, on his arrival, that the injured woman was beyond earthly assistance, and she died before the ambulance arrived.
Took Wrong Road
With her nephew, Mr. Cephas Tosh, Mrs Cannon, accompanied by her husband, left their home early on Sunday morning with the intention of visiting Col. Edward's fox farm near Meach lake where her nephew Mr. William Tosh is the manager. The trip was uneventful, until after the party had motored out as far as Chelsea, where Mr. Tosh, instead of taking the main road leading to Meach Lake, made a mistake and struck the dangerous hill known as Lauriault's. Even then he figured that he would have been able to negotiate the dangerous stretch of highway in safety, but something went wrong with the brakes, after he had gone about half its length, and the car then ran wild and overturned when safety had almost been reached. The remains of the late Mrs Cannon were removed to Gauthier's undertaking parlours at Hull, where they were viewed by coroner Dr. J.E. Isabelle, of Hull, who, after inquiring into the circumstances, decided that an inquest would not be held. The body of Mrs Cannon accompanied by her husband and nephew, was taken on the Soo train Sunday evening to Almonte. The late Mrs Cannon, who was in her seventieth year, was a very well-known residence of Ramsay township, and had lived for many years in the town of Almonte, where the news of her sudden death was received with much regret. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, and is survived, in addition to her husband, by a brother, Mr. Thomas Tosh, of Pakenham, and a half sister, Mrs William Coxford, of Almonte, and three sisters, Mrs Ellen Plant, Ottawa, Mrs J. Haber of Jersey City, and Mrs J.H. Buchanan, of Winnipeg.
