ANOTHER OLD SETTLER GONE
The few now remaining of the pioneer settlers of this section are rapidly passing away, leaving behind but memories of their many noble qualities. This week we have to record the demise of another -- a man rich in the good opinion of his fellows -- Mr Wm Lindsay of White Lake. The sad event took place on Sunday last, and although not unexpected, the news was received with a great deal of regret by those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was 74 years of age, 63 of which were spent in the neighbourhood. Deceased came with his father from Cambusnethan, Scotland, in the year 1821, and they settled in Ramsay the same year. When he grew into manhood he became a school teacher, and taught in the townships of Ramsay and Beckwith for about fifteen years. Some twenty years ago he went to White Lake, where he built a sawmill, and established a profitable lumber trade. He was a keen politician -- always a consistent Liberal -- and many a time has traveled to this neighbourhood, some 26 miles, to record his vote. His funeral took place on Tuesday, and the large number whose followed his mortal remains to their resting place showed the high esteem in which he was held by his friends and neighbours.
