DEATHS
At Appleton, June 25th, William Wilson, (father of Mr James Wilson, Almonte) aged 78 years.

1887, Friday July 1, The Almonte Gazette front page
The Late Wm Wilson
After a lengthened period of extreme mental and bodily suffering Mr William Wilson, of Appleton, found a happy release in death last Sunday evening. No man in Ramsay more thoroughly enjoyed the respect and esteem of his friends and neighbours, and the announcement of his death carried deep and sincere sorrow to many a heart. The late Mr Wilson was a native of Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He emigrated to this country with his father's family in 1828. Seven years later he cleared the land and built the house in which he has lived ever since. In the year 1836 he married Flora Lammie (who died about eight years ago), and had a family of two daughters and ten sons. Eight sons survive him, five of whom were with him in his last moments. For a number of years he had been an architect, and has left many monuments of his skill and handiwork. A man of more than ordinary intelligence, he had a well stocked library and well stored mind. He beautified his home, and planted with his own hands many trees, which are much admired by travellers passing his late residence. He was a member of the first council of the municipality of Ramsay for two years, but declined re-election. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church for fifty-two years, and an elder for the last fifteen. About three years ago he had an attack of effusion of blood on the brain, from which he never recovered, but gradually became feebler until his death. He long ago made his peace with God, and calmly awaited the time when he would be summoned home. For him death had no terrors, no sting. He had a firm abiding faith in his Saviour, and frequently during the last two years had besought God to take him to himself. "May our latter end be like his."

Family/Spouse: Flora Lammie. Flora was born in 1816 in North Ayrshire, Scotland; died on 25 Oct 1879 in Appleton, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mr Andrew Wilson's Demise
One of Lanark County's Stal-Men Passes Away After Months of Suffering Patiently Borne. After an illness of more than six months, Mr Andrew Wilson, Sr., one of the most prominent men in the political and social life of Lanark county, passed away from a painful disease, gangrene. Mr Wilson was born in the parish of New Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the 20th of February, 1820. He migrated to this country with his father, Mr Jas Wilson, in 1825. His father settled on the farm on the 10th concession of Ramsay where the deceased resided until about twelve years ago when he moved to Appleton, where he has since lived, his son James, succeeding on the farm. They were preceded to this country by the deceased's two uncles, Messrs William and Robert Baird, in 1821. His father bought the farm on which he settled from the Canada company for eight shillings and nine pence per acre. His father died about fifty years ago being denied the pleasures of his labours when the hardships of pioneer life were passed. Mr Andrew Wilson over half-a-century ago married Margaret Bryson, sister of the late Robert Bryson and Mrs James Baird, of this town and of the late Hon George Bryson of Fort Coulonge. Mr and Mrs Wilson had the pleasure of celebrating their golden wedding about twelve years ago, but Mrs Wilson predeceased him about two years ago. To them were born four children, one of whom died in infancy. Maggie, the second eldest, who married Geo Newman, died about 21 years ago, Mary lives in their village home, to which the deceased retired about 12 years ago, and their only son, James, lives on the homestead. Mr Wilson was a man who took an active interest in the public affairs of the county. For more than twenty-five years he was a director of the N.L.A.S., was first vice-president for many years and served as president for a couple of years. He also held an honourable position in the municipal affairs of the county and township. He was township councillor for seven years and deputy reeve several times. He was reeve at the time when the reeves formed the county council. In 1890 he was census commissioner. In religion he was a Presbyterian, a member of St Andrew's church Appleton, and for many years, a manager and treasurer. In politics he was a Conservative and a great admirer of Sir John A. McDonald. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The pallbearers were Messrs R.W. Fumerton, Wm Paul, John Kirkwood, D. Dowling, Wm Garvin and John Stewart. Interment took place in the 8th line Ramsay cemetery. Mr Wilson was a stalwart gentleman of the old school, reared amidst the hardship of pioneer life. In day when characters were formed as strong as the hard ground from whence they drew their sustenance and more rugged than the lofty forest whose crashing fall betokened the advance of civilization. His actions all through life have been tempered with the straightforward honesty and justice of his father's time, which is unfortunately, rapidly becoming all too rare in our too greatly enlightened age. There passes away a man who will be greatly missed for he was greatly admired.

?b?Mrs D. Shaw?/b?
As sleep to tired eyes, death came to Margaret Robina Baird, beloved wife of Mr Daniel Shaw, on Monday of this week. For some years the inevitable outcome of her malady, paralysis, had been apparent, but with the calm confidence of one who enters on a strange journey after long preparation, she patiently awaited the final summons. The assembling of friends to her side in the last hours is a silent tribute to the wonderful power of the kindly heart to make and hold friendships. Mrs Shaw was possessed of one of those rare temperaments which spends themselves in the service of others. "This women was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." The late Mrs Shaw was a daughter of the late Jas Baird and was born near Appleton fifty-three years ago. About twenty-five years ago after her father's death, with her mother she moved to Almonte and has since resided here. Her mother passed away about four years ago. In addition to her husband, she is survived by two brothers, Jas B. and Robt of Pilot Mound, and one sister, Mrs James M. Cameron of Winnipeg. During her residence in Almonte Mrs Shaw had accumulated a large fund of affection from all those with whom she came in contact in her quiet, kindly way. She was a faithful member of St Andrew;s church. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, interment being made in the eighth line cemetery.

Margaret married Daniel Shaw in 1890 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Graham Forgie Drops Dead
Mr Graham Forgie dropped dead in the barnyard near his house on Monday evening. He had a sale during the day, and after the crowd had gone away he went out to do the necessary chores. As he did not return as soon as he was expected to Mrs Forgie went out to see what had caused the delay and was shocked to find her husband lying prostrate just outside the barn door. Neighbours were summoned by telephone and the family doctor called, but life had departed and nothing could be done. The cause of death was thought to be heart failure, caused by exhaustion following a busy and exciting day.

The Late James Wilson
As if in a quiet restful sleep all that is mortal of Mr James Wilson lies in his home on Cameron street, awaiting the last sad offices of the living to the dead. For some time past he had been in poor health, but had always been able to move about until only a few hours before his death, which took place on Tuesday, the result of a paralytic stroke from which he suffered on Monday. The late Mr Wilson, who was 72 years of age, was a son of the late William Wilson, and was born at Appleton, one of a family of whom only three - Andrew at Appleton, Joshua at Groton, South Dakota , and George at Salt Lake, are still living. Nearly forty years ago Mr Wilson was married to Miss Mary J. McPhail, and to them three children were born ? Jessie, who died several years ago, just as she was entering young womanhood; Flora at home, and William at Regina. Mrs Wilson is also still living. The late Mr Wilson was a contractor and architect, and through the Ottawa Valley there stand today many monuments to his refined taste and splendid workmanship. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, widely read and a most interesting companion. He was kind to and considerate of others, with a thoughtfulness beyond that which is not often found in man. He was a member of St Andrew Presbyterian church, and until prevented by physical incapacity was a regular attender at the church services. He was a Liberal in politics and in his time was an active and effective worker in the cause he espoused. Taken all around he was a man with few equals and was one whose passing away leaves the world the poorer in many ways, The funeral takes place on Saturday at 3.30 in the afternoon, the service at the house being a-half-hour earlier.

James married Mary Jane McPhail on 22 Nov 1871. Mary (daughter of Lachlin McPhail and Jessie Fumerton) was born on 8 Jul 1849 in Appleton, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 5 Apr 1927 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mr James Wilson Killed
Not only Appleton district but the surrounding community in a wide circle was appalled on Wednesday when the intelligence passed from one person to another, that James Wilson had been killed. How the accident happened is not known for certain, but it is supposed he was unhitching his team in the barn about noon and that one of the horses had kicked him, and when found one side of his head was crushed in. Mrs Wilson heard an unusual noise in the barn, and upon going out to ascertain the cause she found her husband unconscious, and in a short time he passed away. The late Mr Wilson was a son of the late Andrew Wilson, sr., and was about 56 years of age. He was married about 22 years ago to Miss Mary Snedden, daughter of the late James Snedden, and to them five children were born. Of these Christina is teaching at Rosetta, Maggie is bookkeeper in Mr J.A. McGregor's store at Appleton, Bryson and Janet are attending the high school at Carleton Place, and John, the youngest, is at home. Mrs Wilson is still living, as is also a sister of the deceased, Miss Mary Wilson, at Appleton. The late Mr Wilson was a man of a quiet and retiring disposition, but was highly respected by all who knew him ? those knowing him best holding him in highest esteem. He was a good neighbour, a staunch friend and a man of sterling probity and uprightness in all his dealings. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a staunch Liberal in politics. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from his late home to the Presbyterian cemetery on the eighth line of Ramsay. The sad occurrence has called forth sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the family and friends so sorely bereaved.

James married Mary Whyte Snedden in 1892. Mary (daughter of James Snedden and Christena Snedden) was born on 1 Apr 1861 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Dec 1930 in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 16 Dec 1930 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
