Mrs Wm Paterson
At the age of 82 years, active and industrious almost to the last, and exhibiting a wonderful vitality, Mrs Wm Paterson of Ramsay, on Monday, passed quietly away to the life beyond, for which she had so earnestly striven and so longingly looked forward to. She was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on July 14th, 1832, in a house adjoining that of Robert Burns, Scotland's much loved bard, whose wife was a first cousin of Mrs Paterson. She came to Canada from Glasgow, Scotland, where she had lived for some time, in Nov 1855, and was married on Dec 31st, 1857, to Mr Wm Paterson, on the farm "Rose Hill" on which her husband, who is now 84 years of age,and two sons still reside. Here Mr and Mrs Paterson lived to celebrate the 56th anniversary of their marriage on New Year's eve, 1913. The union thus formed, was blessed by a family of ten children. Of these, James B., was killed while running an engine for stamp machine in Mexico, on June 31st, 1904; Geo E., is on the farm; Agnes W., died in infancy; Wm C. is on the farm; Robert M., at Luseland, Sask; Dr T.R., in Almonte; Mary M., and David W. died of scarlet fever in 1878; Hugh died in infancy, and Dr John H. is at Bow Island, Alta. The deceased was one of a family of twelve, eight of whom came to Canada, and of whom George Paterson of Almonte is the only surviving member. The late Mrs Paterson was a Presbyterian in religion, and was a close and consistent follower of her Lord and Master, in whom her fullest trust was reposed. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery vault, and was one of the largest seen in Ramsay for some time, and was a worthy tribute to a worthy woman. The services were conducted by Rev Mr Merrilees of Blakeney, and the pallbearers were chosen from among the elders of the Clayton and Blakeney Presbyterian congregation.

Miss Elizabeth Paterson
There passed away, at the residence of her brother-inlaw, Mr Wm. Paterson, "Rose Hill Farm," in Ramsay on Sunday, Elizabeth Paterson, in her 76th year. She had been in failing health for some time, and her death was not unlooked for, and when it came it was to her merely the passing on to a fuller and a brighter life. Miss Paterson was born in Ayrshire Scotland. Her father, the late Matthew Paterson, came to Canada in 1850, the family following a year later, and most of her life in Canada was spent in and around Almonte. There was a family of eight, five sisters and three brothers, all of whom excepting Mr Geo Paterson of Almonte and Mrs Wm. Paterson of Ramsay have passed away, and all at advanced years, except David, who died when 21 years of age. Mrs Borrowman died at 55, Agnes in Almonte at 70 Mrs Fleming of Ottawa at 75, Mrs Wm Paterson has reached 78 years and Mr George Paterson 74, and both enjoy a comfortable degree of health notwithstanding. The funeral of Miss Paterson took place on Tuesday, and was attended by many who as they followed the remains to the cemetery recalled a life of brightness and activity, a kindly disposition. Until recently she lived in Almonte, but since failing health came she had made her home with her sister in Ramsay.

The Late George Paterson
The funeral of the late Geo. Paterson was held on Thursday afternoon in the Presbyterian church and interment was made in the Presbyterian cemetery. The services in the church and at the grave were conducted by Rev S.G. Brown, and were attended by a large number of people who had known and respected Mr Paterson during his lifetime. A pleasing feature of the service was the singing of a most appropriate solo by Miss Maconachie. Upon the lips of many who attended the funeral were heard words of esteem and appreciation. The late Mr Paterson was born in Scotland, and came to Canada over sixty years ago. His father settled on a farm in Ramsay, and he came to Almonte, and clerked for Mr Wylie. Later on he entered business himself and kept a store in a building which stood where Mr. H.H. Cole's stands and afterwards in a building further down Mill street, where he continued business until he sold to Messrs. Conn and West, on account of failing health. It is a question if there was ever a business man in Almonte whose reputation for probity and honesty was as widespread as was his, or whose dealings with the public influenced more people to come here to do their trading. He was for many years an elder in the Presbyterian church, always discharging the duties of that office faithfully and well until failing health prevented a continuance thereof.

George married Mary Agnes Snedden on 17 Sep 1884 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of James Snedden and Catherine Cochran Snedden) was born on 21 Jul 1858 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 17 Sep 1920 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

LINES
Written on the death of Buchanan Paterson, who died
15th Feb., 1881.
Again Death's cold, dull hand His sceptre sword hath swayed ? Severed from this baleful land ? in a clayey grave hath laid A faithful friend and father ? A frame of life and love: Gone ? to dwell with "Our Father;" He lives with Him above.
Methinks, as upon thy face With weeping eyes I gaze, In that happy, holy place, I hear thee sing His praise. Though thou wast not rich in gold, Thou are rolled around with glory; Thou canst all mysteries unfold; No more thy mind shall worry.
We miss thee from our home, Around that happy hearth. Thou art where ? no more to roam ? Light and love ne'er knew of dearth. We miss thee ? the neighbourhood In which thou didst reside, Thy parental hand and brotherhood Ne'er more with us shall abide. "Who is he for whom our tears Flow'd and will not cease to flow. Full of honours and of years, In the dust his head lies low. It was one whose open face Did his inmost heart reveal, One who wore with meekest grace On his forehead heaven's broad seal." We mourn not as those to whom, Frail man, no hope is given ? Though thy body's in the tomb, Thy soul doth sound in heaven. Dust to dust and clay to clay, How prone and wont man is to stray, Fill not your mind with dismay Christ will save you if you may.

Mr Wm Paterson Passes Away
Mr Wm Paterson, of "Rose Hill Farm," passed away this (Thursday) morning, following a paralytic attack. He was in his 88th year, and was one of the oldest residents of the township of Ramsay. The funeral will take place on Friday 10th inst., at two o'clock, to the eighth line cemetery, service at the house at half-past one. A fuller reference will be made next week to the late Mr Paterson, who, in his earlier life, was a prominent resident of the township.

The Late Wm Paterson
The late Wm Paterson was born at "Kelvin Bank" on the farm within a half a mile of the one on which he spent his whole life one, on October 1st, 1829. This was seven years after the first settler appeared. At this time the country was in a very primitive state, the road to Perth being to follow the limestone ridge from Ramsay, likewise to Brockville. The road was blazed through the woods on the trees. When they had to get some necessaries of life their mode of travel was on foot. Bills in those days were paid more in exchange than in cash as at present. In those days the settlers could tell on many trilling experiences with the wolves, which were plentiful at the time. Though educational advantages were not so good as ours the late Wm Paterson acquired a good education by improving his evenings. The first school he attended was held in the log barn still standing on the farm on which he lived, with sparse advantages compared with the present day. He was married in Ramsay on the 31st day of December, 1857, to Margaret Paterson. Mrs Paterson predeceased her husband a little over two years, after living to celebrate their sixty-fifth anniversary. This was a hard blow to him. Mr Paterson was for many years engaged in Sunday School work and die not give up till almost his eighty-fifth year, when his strength failed him. He was the instrument in God's hand of helping many to a saving knowledge of Christ. The funeral on November 9th was large, and testified to the good feeling that prevailed toward one who had been a life-long member. The pallbearers were six elders from the congregation in which he had for many years officiated in that capacity. The family that mourns his loss are George and William at home, Robert M., at Luseland, Sask., Dr. T. R. in Almonte, and Dr. John R., at Bow Island, Alberta.

Killed Instantly
On Friday last a telegram came to Mr R.M. Paterson with the shocking news that his brother, Mr Jas. B. Paterson, had been instantly killed in San Julian, Chihuahua, Mexico, on the 13th of June, by falling into the drive wheel of a stamp mill. These are the meagre details that told the sad story. The delay in getting the word is accounted for by the fact that Mr Paterson was engaged in putting in a mining plant at a place some two hundred miles back in the country the only means of travel to and from being on horseback. The deceased was the eldest of five sons of Mr Wm Paterson, of Ramsay, and was about 44 years of age. When twenty years of age he went to Ottawa and learned the machinist business and afterwards went West, and finally landed in Mexico about sixteen years ago. having possessed himself of a knowledge of mechanical engineering he at once secured lucrative employment at the mines, and it was while engaged at this work that he met his death He was married a few years ago to an American lady in Mexico, who survives him. On receipt of the telegram Mr Paterson at once communicated with the sender, and expects to shortly receive full particulars of the shocking occurrence.

William Campbell Paterson
With the death of Mr. William Paterson at the R. M. Hospital on Wednesday, Nov 3, there passed a very well known and respected Ramsay farmer. Born on the Paterson homestead he and his brother, George had farmed there since their boyhood. He was 63 years of age. Mr. Paterson had been ailing for some time, and in the hope of saying his life underwent an operation at the hospital, but there was from the first very little hope of his recovery. He was the third son of the late William Paterson and his wife Margaret Paterson. His father, who died about ten years ago was a native of Ramsay, born near the home which he subsequently owned. His mother passed away about thirteen years ago, was a native of Ayshire, Scotland. They were people who were very much though of in the township. They celebrated on March 9, 1914, the 56th anniversary of their marriage. The late Mr. Paterson was one of a family of seven. James, the eldest son, died about twenty years ago; George resides on the homestead; Agnes died in infancy; Robert lives at Leiseland, Sask.; Dr. Thomas resides in Almonte; and Dr. John died at Bow Island, Alberta about five years ago. Mr. Paterson was a valued member of Clayton United Church, and for ten years was a member of the Ramsay school section Nos. 6 and 7. His remains were laid to rest in the Auld Kirk Cemetery on Friday, Nov. 5, and there was a very large attendance of mourners. The pallbearers were Messrs: Andrew Cochran, Peter Cochran, John R. Reid, Arch. McArthur, John R. James, and James Paterson. The service was conducted by his minister, Rev. Mr. McMillan. The flowers were numerous and very beautiful. Amongst them were wreaths from the School section, the family, Mr. John D. Taylor and others.

DEATHS
In Ramsay, on the 19th inst, Mary M. daughter of Wm Paterson, Esq., Rose Hill, Ramsay, aged 8 years.
When we see a perfect blossom, That we tended with such care, Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair. Round her little grave we linger Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. Chorus We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn, We shall meet to part ? no, never ? On the resurrection morn.

Dr John H. Paterson, of Bow Island, Alta., died on Saturday at Medicine Hat following an operation. An elder brother was with him when he died. The remains were interred with those of his wife at Bow Island. The late Dr. Paterson was a son of the late Mr and Mrs William Paterson, of Ramsay. He was educated at Almonte High School and proceeded to McGill University, where he graduated in medicine about twelve years ago. Immediately after his graduation he went west and settled in Bow Island, in the province of Alberta. He became a very successful practitioner and was recognized as the leading citizen of the place. While he was a student at McGill he underwent an operation for appendicitis, from the effects of which he never fully recovered, although the operation after which he died was performed to remedy a stomach trouble. He lived only a week. He had been passing through Medicine Hat to have a yachting holiday on a cruser on the Pacific coast which he had purchased. His brother, R.M., who was a merchant in Luseland, had hope to be able to join him. Six years ago Dr. Paterson visited his old home here and he had expected to be here again for the Old Boys' Reunion at the end of July.
