Mrs James Forgie
Last Saturday Mrs James Forgie was around as usual, bright, cheerful and happy, going about her household duties in her customary manner, and this (Thursday) afternoon she passed on to test the realities of the great beyond. On Sunday morning she was taken suddenly ill and all through Sunday and Monday her condition occasioned grave apprehension. On Wednesday, however she apparently was slightly better and brighter, but the improvement proved to be only temporary, and this morning it was seen she was rapidly nearing the end. Mr and Mrs John G. Forgie came down from Pembroke on Tuesday, and word was sent to Mrs Teskey at Winnipeg, who is coming by today's Winnipeg train, but too late to see her mother alive. Mrs Forgie whose maiden name was Isabella Thomlinson, was born near Innisville, a daughter of the late John and Jessie Thomlinson, and on the 7th of May, 1855, was married to Mr James Forgie, Rev J.K. Smith, then Presbyterian minister at the eighth line, Ramsay, performing the ceremony. Of a number of children only two are now living, Mr John G. Forgie of Pembroke, and Mrs A.E. Teskey (Miss Leila) of Winnipeg, the others having died in infancy. Mr and Mrs Forgie came to Almonte immediately after their marriage and have been residents here ever since, and during these fifty-two years have made many friends by their uniformly constant lives. Mrs Forgie was always of a bright and buoyant disposition and many of the trials of life were lightened by her cheerful spirit. Just two years ago this week (May 12th) Mr and Mrs Forgie celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage and in all the company there was not a cheerier voice than hers. Since coming to Almonte Mr and Mrs Forgie were both workers in many a good cause, and in the Presbyterian church of which both were a members their activities found scope, Mrs Forgie being an encouragement and inspiration to all with whom she came into contact in the departments of work which she was most interested. She has for years been a life member of the W.F.M.S. of which organization she was for a number of years treasurer, and was one of its most liberal supporters. Mr Forgie and the son and daughter have the sincere sympathy of many warm friends. The funeral will take place on Saturday at 2.30 p.m., to the eighth line cemetery. Service will be held at the home at 2 o'clock
