?b?The Late Alexander Sutherland?/b?
General regret was expressed last Friday when it was learned that Mr Alexander Sutherland, the genial and well-known farmer of the 5th line of Ramsay, had paid the debt of nature that morning as the result of an attack of apoplexy the previous evening. Blessed with a charm of manner that shed brightness wherever he went, the late Mr Sutherland made a host of warm friends, all over these parts, and all were surprised and saddened by the suddenness of the call to test the realities of the other world. Deceased was born in Ramsay township in 1829, and lived there all his life ? 68 years ? with the exception of a trip he made to California in the spring of 1853. While in the Golden State he was attacked with fever and ague, and on recovering, the same fall, he returned to his native township. In 1852 Mr Sutherland married Elizabeth McArthur (sister of Mr Wm McArthur, of this town), who survives. To them were born twelve children, nine of whom are alive, Viz,: David, in Manitoba; James, Alexander, Angus and Andrew, in Western Ontario; Margaret (Mrs Alex Fulton), Upper Pakenham; William, on the 5th con, Ramsay; Joseph and Eliza Ann, on the homestead. Deceased, on coming back from California, settled on the lot next to that occupied by the late Daniel Galbraith, and remained there till his death. He was a very successful farmer, and had a supplementary source of profit in an extensive lime business. He amassed sufficient of this world's goods to leave those dependant upon him in comfortable circumstances. Up to a few years ago Mr Sutherland was hardy and vigorous, but for the past year or two he had been ailing at times. He was always jolly and goodnatured ? a welcome visitor in any gathering. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was very largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev Mr Hutcheon, of St Andrew's church, Almonte, of whose congregation deceased was a member. Mrs Sutherland and family have the warm sympathy of all in their bereavement.

Alexander married Elizabeth McArthur in 1853. Elizabeth was born on 31 Dec 1834 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 7 Dec 1912 in Cedar Hill, Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 10 Dec 1912 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
