The C.C. Says: Mr Robert Anderson died at his residence on Bell Street on New Year's morning. Until the last two years he enjoyed the most perfect health, being able up to that period to defend the strong citadel of his heart against all the potentates of death, but at that time grippe made and impression, and slowly consumed the splendid constitution. The deceased was born at Neilston, Renfrewshire, Scotland, in 1816, where his parents, Wm Anderson and Margaret McFarlane, lived and died, each at the ripe old age and highly esteemed by all who were intimately acquainted with them. In his early years Mr Anderson studied medicine some time. But that profession not being to his liking he gave it up. and having a natural aptitude for drawing and designing, concluded to study the art of pattern drawing for the printer's use in the stamping of designs upon calico fabrics. Having served his apprenticeship successfully he adopted the calling as a means for earning a livelihood. He crossed the Atlantic in 1848 in the ship "Favorite," being nine weeks on the voyage, and came to Almonte, where his brother Matthew had already settled. Not finding employment in his profession in Almonte he engaged with the late William Peden, of Carleton Place, as a general book-keeper and salesman Severing his connection with Mr Peden he drifted back to Almonte and started in business for himself which he conducted for a number of years. Disposing of his business in Almonte, he returned to Carleton Place and lived here for about thirty years. In December 1854, he married Catherine, third daughter of the late Robert McFarlane of Almonte. The widow, three daughters namely, Mrs Adam Graham, of Peterboro, Mrs Hugh M. Williams, and Mrs Dr. Fisher, of Carleton Place, and two sons, William of Havelock, and Robert M., of Ottawa, remain to mourn his loss. Mr Anderson lived to a good old age and was able to enjoy, as he did most thoroughly, the companionship of his devoted partner to the last, and to see his children thriving wonderfully. He was often called on to do the engrossing of public documents, and took pleasure in responding, invariably achieving works of art. His later years were spent largely in the loved seclusion of his cosy home, where the charms of his gracious personality never failed to delight all who pass under his influence.

Robert married Catherine McFarlene in Dec 1854. Catherine (daughter of Robert McFarlane and Catherine McMillan) was born in 1830 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Obit. ? Mr Wm Anderson
It was with sincere regret that the many friends in Almonte and vicinity learned of the early death of Mr Wm Anderson, on the 24th, at Wetaskewin, Alberta, from paralysis, he was so well and favourably known all through the valley owing to his long connection with the C.P.R. Deceased was born in 1853 at Bennie's Corners, his father being the late Wm Anderson, who will be remembered only by the older settlers, as he passed away some 27 years ago. His mother, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Peters, died about ten years ago. The family consisted of two brothers, John and Alexander, both dead, and two sisters living, Mrs Alex Gourlay (nee Mary) at Lavoy and Mrs Sam Reid (nee Maggie) at Methven, Man. Mr Anderson remained of the farm until 1885 when he entered the employ of the C.P.R., remaining with that company until about a year ago when he was obliged to retire through bad health and went west. His long service with the C.P.R. gave him a wide circle of friends all through this section, who admired him for his unfailing courtesy. He leaves his wife (nee Margaret Austen) and three sons, William G. and John P. at Wetaskewin, and Chas. Alex. in Ottawa. The funeral Wednesday was the final tribute of sympathizing friends who were present in large numbers. The following tribute, from one who knew him well, gives a word portrait of the man: "Willie Anderson, as he was familiarly called by Ramsay people, was a son of the late Wm. Anderson of Bennie's Corners. Early in his life he took up railroading, and for many years was conductor on the Ottawa- Pembroke local. Among railway men he was much liked for his cheery disposition, his level-headed common sense, and his remarkable gifts as a conversationalist and litterateur. Few men, even among the college-bred, have such intimate acquaintance with the best English prose and poetry as he possessed; while his knowledge of Macaulay's history and essays could not well have been more profound and loving critical. Like every other lover of what is deep in thought or beautiful in expression, he loved his Bible; and he proved by an upright life that his regard for it was not merely intellectual.

William married Margaret Elizabeth Austin in 1886. Margaret was born on 18 Apr 1858 in Seymour, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada; died on 27 Jun 1927 in Ottawa Municipality, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 28 Jun 1927 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
