Mrs John Lang Passes Away
At nine o'clock this Thursday morning the spirit of Mrs John Lang took its flight back to Him who gave it. She was born in Ramsay, on the eighth line, was a daughter of the late James Gilmour, and was 88 years of age. Her father was one of the Scotch settlers who came to this section in 1821 and he settled on lot 13 in the 7th concession of Ramsay, but afterwards removed to Western Ontario, settling in Stanley township in the county of Huron, where he bought a farm, and spent the balance of his life. Mrs Lang however returned to this section when about 18 years of age, and in 1855 she was married to Mr John Lang, the marriage taking place in the old stone church on the eighth line. They live on Almonte for a while, where Mr Lang was operating a sawmill on the present site of the electric light station. Later they went to Bruce Co. but returned to Almonte after seven years, in 1870, and afterwards lived on the farm by the riverside, which has since been the family home. Of the family born to them three are still living. These are Mrs Throop of Ottawa, Henry at home, Dr A.A.J. Lang at Sanborn, N.D., Amelia, Lavina and Robert are dead, as well as Mr Lang, who died in 1895. Mrs Lang was one of the oldest, if not the very oldest resident in these parts, and had lived to see the country changed from a dense unbroken forest to its present condition of wide spreading farms and comfortable homes. She endured her share of the toil and hardship of the pioneer days, an could talk most interestingly of the early days and their hard experiences of recent months which necessitated treatment at the hospital last winter, she retained her faculties to a wonderful degree until about three weeks ago, since when she has gradually weakened until death came this morning. The funeral takes place on Saturday at 2.30 pm., to the eighth line cemetery.

Margaret married John Lang in 1855. John (son of Arthur Lang and Amelia Wilson) was born on 14 May 1829 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 17 Mar 1895 in Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 21 Mar 1895 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Notes:

(Medical):Miss Lang had been ill for some time, and latterly her trouble was diagnosed as an internal tumour. Two weeks ago she went to the hospital to have an operation performed for the removal of the tumour. Her brother, Dr Albert Lang, was with her last Monday ? the day selected for the operation. The physicians made an incision to carry out their plans, when it was discovered that her trouble was cancer, and of such a nature that it was sure to end her life in a short time. The doctors decided that a further operation was unnecessary. Miss Lang was made comfortable, and was progressing quite favourably until Tuesday forenoon, when she began to sink.

Miss Lang's Sudden Death
Residents of this neighbourhood were shocked on Tuesday afternoon to learn of the death, in St Luke's Hospital, Ottawa, that day, of Margaret Alvina Lang, daughter of Mrs John Lang, Ramsay ? familiarly known as "Vinie." Deceased , who was 29 years old, was a pleasant-faced and pleasant-mannered lady, clever and popular, and the sudden ending of so useful a life has evoked the warmest expressions of sympathy with the doubly bereaved family, who have found of late years that misfortunes have come upon them in battalions. Miss Lang had been ill for some time, and latterly her trouble was diagnosed as an internal tumour. Two weeks ago she went to the hospital to have an operation performed for the removal of the tumour. Her brother, Dr Albert Lang, was with her last Monday ? the day selected for the operation. The physicians made an incision to carry out their plans, when it was discovered that her trouble was cancer, and of such a nature that it was sure to end her life in a short time. The doctors decided that a further operation was unnecessary. Miss Lang was made comfortable, and was progressing quite favourably until Tuesday forenoon, when she began to sink. That afternoon the relatives here received a message that she was sinking rapidly, followed by another fifteen minutes later announcing her death. The body was brought home by Wednesday's Soo train, and the funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, a very large number turning out to testify their respect for the deceased and to mark their sympathy with the sorrowing mother and her family, Rev R.J. Hutcheon, M.A., of whose congregation deceased was a member, officiated. Miss Lang was a member of Atthewell Lodge No 29, Daughters of Rebekah, Almonte, and the members of that order attended the funeral in abody and conducted their impressive burial service.
