Mr Gavin Hamilton Dead
One of Ramsay Township's Earliest Settlers and Most Useful Residents Called Away
The news on Monday morning of the death of Mr Gavin Hamilton, of Ramsay, came as a shock to his many friends. For some time he had not been enjoying robust health, but until a few weeks before his death he was able to be about and to attend to light duties around his home. On Sunday afternoon he was bright and cheerful, and chatted pleasantly with his brother, Mr Duncan Hamilton, and others who had called to see him, but before another morning had dawned the silver cord was loosed, and his spirit had taken its flight to Him who gave it. The deceased was born in Paisley, Scotland, and was the eldest son of a family of eight children. These are Dr John Hamilton, of Pompeii, Mich; Margaret (Mrs Frank Hall, Appleton), who died very suddenly some years ago; Martha (Mrs Robt Leishman), in Almonte; Thomas, in Huntley; Douglas, in Michigan; Ellen (Mrs John McCallum), Colorado, and Duncan, in Almonte. When about fifteen years of age he with his mother and brothers and sisters came to Canada to join his father who had come out a couple of years before, and being the eldest of the children upon him fell the duty of sharing with his mother the responsibilities of the journey. The family lived for a few years in Carleton Place, where his father, who was a tanner, followed his trade. He then went to Pakenham, where he continued in the same business, the family removing to Huntley township, and from that time forward following the business of farming. Mr Gavin Hamilton took up the same occupation, and went on to the farm upon which he spent the remainder of his life in 1855, in which year he married Margaret Neilson. To them a family of six children were born, one of whom died in infancy, and another, John, died about seven years ago. Those living are Thomas in Smith's Falls; James C., at Moose Jaw, N.W.T.; Mrs Robt Duncan, at Pilot Mound, and Marion at home. Mrs Hamilton and Mrs John Hamilton also survive. In his young days, Mr Hamilton did not have an opportunity of acquiring an education, as he never went to a day school and only attended a night school until he was eight years of age, after which he had to go to work. But what was lacking in that respect was made up for in his intelligence and good natural ability. He, early in life, began to take an interest in both municipal and political matters, and was widely read and well versed in the affairs not only of his own community and county, out of the country at large. He was appointed assessor of Ramsay in 1871, which office he held for nine years. In 1880 he resigned the assessorship and was elected to the council, and one year later he was chosen reeve, and for sixteen years served the township in that capacity. In 1887, the first year in which county councillors were elected to that office, Mr Hamilton was one of those chosen to represent Galbraith division, and was returned at each succeeding election until this year, when he sustained his first defeat in thirty-two year, and on that occasion his defeat was the result of overconfidence on the part of his friends In 1883 Mr Hamilton was elected warden of the county and discharged the duties of that office with his usual efficiency and with satisfaction to all concerned. While in the county council he was a member of the most important committees, and there, probably his best work was done, his sterling good sense and practical knowledge of details of county council matters being brought to bear with most beneficial results. The deceased was a Liberal in politics, and on more than one occasion his name was mentioned in connection with the candidature of North Lanark, but that was an honour he persistently declined. In religion he was a Presbyterian, and was for many years a much respected member of the session of St Andrew's church. The funeral took place on Wednesday, and was attended by a large number who gathered to pay last tribute of respect to one whom in his lifetime they had esteemed and honoured. The pallbearers were chosen from among those with whom he had sat in county council. They were: Messrs Pattie and Cram, Carleton Place; Mrs W.J. Rintoul, Darling; and Messrs A.M. Grieg, and Geo W. Willoughy, Almonte, and Mr Adam Johnston, Ramsay, who acted in Mr C.H. Ferguson's place, he having been unavoidably prevented from attending. It is needless to say that the sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved ones, for no good man can go from any community without being missed, not only by his own family and friends, but the wider circle who have been helped by his life or benefited by his usefulness.

Gavin married Margaret J. Neilson on 18 Aug 1855 in Almonte, Lanark County, Canada West. Margaret (daughter of John Neilson, Sr. and Agness Wilson) was born on 4 Jul 1823 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 23 Aug 1904 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 25 Aug 1904 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Huntley is an historic township originally part of Carleton County in eastern Ontario, Canada.

Huntley was located in the western part of the county, bordered to the northwest by Fitzroy Township, to the northeast by March Township, to the southwest by Ramsay Township and to the southeast by Goulbourn Township. It includes the communities of Carp, Corkery, Huntley, Manion Corners, and Westwood.

The township was established in 1841. The first settlers in the area were immigrants from Ireland in the early 19th century. Huntley took its name from Huntly Castle, associated with Charlotte Lennox, Duchess of Richmond, whose husband Charles served as Governor General of British North America from 1818 to 1819.

In 1974, it was amalgamated with Torbolton and Fitzroy to form West Carleton. In 2001, West Carleton became part of the new city of Ottawa.

Thomas married Janet Aitken on 6 Jan 1862 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Janet (daughter of James Aitken and Jane Miller) was born on 1 Nov 1844 in Huntley Township, Carleton County, Canada West; died on 17 Mar 1917 in Huntley Township, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in 1917 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

A Fine Young Man's Death
After about a year's illness with the trouble known as "pernicious anaemina" Mr John Neilson Hamilton (son of Mr. Gavin Hamilton, reeve of Ramsay) passed peacefully away last Friday afternoon, at the early age of 38 years. The insidious disease of which the deceased died seemed at times to relax its hold upon his system, and during these intervals his friends fondly hoped for his ultimate recovery; but it was a hope which in almost all such cases is doomed to disappointment. The late Mr. Hamilton was of a quiet and retiring disposition, but had endeared himself to all who knew him intimately. Although it was a source of great grief to his friends, death to the deceased was a happy release from human pain and suffering. He leaves a loving wife and two little girls, besides his aged parents, two sisters and two brothers, to all of whom we join sympathizing friends in tendering our sympathy. The funeral on Sunday was an unusually large one, evidencing the high esteem in which both the deceased and his family are held. The funeral services were conducted by Rev A.S. Grant B.D., the deceased's pastor.

John married Annie Kinnaird in 1891. Annie was born on 17 Jan 1864 in Smiths Falls, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 5 Jan 1914 in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mr Jas C. Hamilton
The sad news of the death of Mr Jas C. Hamilton, which occurred at Moosejaw, N.W.T., on Sunday last was received by his friends here on Monday morning. Mr Hamilton was the youngest son of the late Gavin Hamilton, of Ramsay, and was well and favourably known in Almonte and the surrounding district. he was for a number of years a clerk with Mr John B. Wylie when he kept store in the stand now occupied by Messrs Timmins & Co, his connection therewith being severed by the necessity for a change on account of failing health. About fourteen years ago he went west and located at Moosejaw, N.W.T., where from the position of clerk he rose to that of manager and then to partner in the firm, which was known as Robertson & Hamilton, the business under his care having grown rapidly. About eleven years ago he was married to Miss Ida Blake, of town, youngest daughter of Mrs H. Blake, and Mrs Hamilton, and one son, Kenneth, aged ten years, are left to mourn his loss. The deceased was not of a rugged physique, but after his removal westward his health was much improved until he was taken, with anaemia, and last year he spent some time in California, where he received much benefit from the change, but unfortunately the disease had not been eradicated and he succumbed to its ravages. The remains are being taken to Ottawa today (Thursday), where they will be placed in a vault to await interment in the spring. Mrs Hamilton and Mr Robertson (Mr Hamilton business partner), who accompanied the remains to Ottawa were joined here by some of the Almonte friends.

1904, Friday March 18, The Almonte Gazette front page
The Late Jas C. Hamilton
The Moosejaw Times of March 10th has the following reference to the death of Mr Jas C. Hamilton:
"Moose Jaw mourns the loss of one of its best known and most highly esteemed citizens. At 4:30 o'clock Sunday morning, Mr James Cochrane Hamilton, of the firm of Robinson & Hamilton, passed peacefully away at his home on Main street. Deceased was a victim of anaemia, from which he suffered much for several years past. Two years ago he was taken very seriously ill, and his death was hourly expected. With great care he managed to pull through and recuperate, and for the past year was able to attend to his business as usual. About the first of the year it could be seen that he was losing ground, and three weeks ago he was compelled to give up his work. The manner in which he always bore up against the ravages of the disease, and his always cheerful disposition, even in his weakness and most trying moments, was remarkable, so much so, that while everyone knew of his illness, few thought that it was so serious and the announcement of his death on Sunday morning came as a surprise. The funeral service was held at family residence at 3.30 p.m. Monday, and the remains were taken to Ottawa on Monday's delayed train, where they will be interred. Mrs Hamilton, and his only son, Master Kenneth, and Mr T.W. Robinson, accompany them. Mr Robinson will return to Moose Jaw at once, but Mrs Hamilton will remain in the east for some weeks. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved wife and little son, who are left to mourn his loss. The deceased was a native of Almonte, Ont, where he was born in January, 1867. He was therefore yet a young man of 37 years, but the disease from which he suffered made him look much older. He was educated at the public and grammar school of his native town. He started his business career as apprentice at the age of 17 years, and after several years experience in Brockville, Ont, and in Manitoba, he came to Moose Jaw in 1892 to accept a position as manager for Mr T.W. Robinson. In 1896 Mr Robinson took him into partnership retired from active business, and moved to Toronto, since which time Mr Hamilton had entire charge. Deceased was one of our most public spirited and enterprising citizens and always gave a helping hand to every movement calculated to further the best interest of the community. He served as town councillor, but was unable to complete his last term owing to ill health. He was also an active member of the Board of Trade and, possible, worked energetically to further its interest. He was a staunch supporter of St Andrew's Presbyterian church, of which he was a member, a trustee, and a manager, and he will be greatly missed by the whole congregation."

James married Ida Gertrude Blake on 21 Jun 1893 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Ida was born in 1864 in North Augusta Township, Grenville County, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Mar 1939 in Moose Jaw, Moose Jaw Census Division, Saskatchewan, Canada; was buried in Rosedale Cemetery, Moose Jaw, Moose Jaw Census Division, Saskatchewan, Canada.

?b?The Late Mary A. Hamilton?/b?
On Tuesday, at 11 a.m., the white winged messenger entered the home of Mr D. Hamilton, bearing away the spirit of his youngest daughter, Mary, at the early age of nineteen years. The news of her death came as a sudden shock, causing a wave of the deepest sympathy from all citizens towards this much respected family. The deceased had been ailing for some months, and on the advice of her physician, she was taken to St Luke's hospital, Ottawa, where everything was done to relieve her pain and prolong life, but without avail. She was brought home Saturday, and gradually became weaker until the day of her death. Mary was beloved by all for her sweet disposition and her upright Christian life. In all her illness she was bright and cheerful, never complaining, and her death is a blow to her parents. The funeral took place on Thursday at 2 p.m, to the eighth line cemetery, Rev Mr Bennet conducting the services.
