?b?John Cannon?/b?
A well known and respected resident of this community passed peacefully away at his home on the eighth line of Ramsay on Monday evening, April 16th, in the person of Mr John Cannon, after a lingering illness. Up to about a year ago, Mr Cannon had been able to be about the farm, though he had not worked on it for some years. Then he had the misfortune to slip on a step and fall, breaking his hip bone. But, owing to a wonderful vitality and careful nursing during this time he recovered, and was able to walk about again. In January, however, he was forced to keep his bed entirely on account of a general weakness, and from then on, gradually sank in spite of everything that could be done to save him. Deceased was born in Ramsay township 79 years ago, on the farm on which he spent the greater part of his life. He is survived by a widow, who resides at the home in Ramsay, and seven daughters, ? Minnie of Edmonton, Alberta; Mrs A.J. Carswell, of Cobalt; Mrs F.E. Graff of Cochran; Mrs S. Savage, of Big Valley, Alberta; Mrs H. Irving and Mrs T. Irving, both of Smiths Falls and Gladys of the Kapuskasing Public School Staff; also by one son, Carswell Cannon of Big Valley, Alberta. Another daughter who died some years ago. With the exception of her son and Mrs Savage, who were unable to be present, all the members of the family attended the funeral. Besides the sorrowing family, he is survived by five brothers, his only sister being dead. The brothers are, William, on the homestead, James, of Edmonton, Allan and David in the West; and Dr Cannon of Watertown, New York. The sympathy of many friends goes out to them in their bereavement.
