?b?The Late D.S. McFarlane?/b?
After an illness extending over a year and a half, Mr David S. McFarlane passed away at his home on Morphy street last Thursday evening. Mr McFarlane was born in Ramsay in October, 1847, and so was in his 77th year. He was married twice, his first wife being Miss Aikenhead, of Ramsay, who died leaving two young children -- Miss Jessie McFarlane, professional nurse, of Portsmouth, N.H., and Mr. M.R. McFarlane, of Almonte. A few years later he married Miss Sarah Clarke, who with two sons and one daughter survive -- William C. in the west, and Clarence in Toronto, and Miss Margaret at home. About half a century ago Mr. McFarlane came to Carleton Place and entered the employ of the C.P.R., and for 30 years continued in the service retiring on a pension about eleven years ago. A man of sterling character and strict integrity Mr McFarlane was highly esteemed and much respected, ad was a most worthy citizen. In politics he was a Liberal. In religion a Presbyterian, a member of St Andrew's Church, and for may years a member of the management committee. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon to the 8th Line Ramsay cemetery, and was very largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev A.R. Gibson, assisted by Rev. Mr. McCrae, of Almonte. The pallbearers were Messrs. James Cavers, John Cunnningham, Wm. Pattie, Peter McDonald, Wm. Bard, and Dr. M.H. Stele. Many floral tributes adorned the casket. The family have the sympathy of many friends in their season of bereavement.
