DEATH'S HARVEST
Mr Alexander Steele
For several weeks Mr Alexander Steele had been in a physical condition which gave little hope of even a brief rallying, and he gradually became weaker until this Thursday morning when he slept quietly away. About two years and a half ago he suffered from a paralytic stroke, and again about a year later a second attack not only robbed him what he had regained in strength, but further deprived him of the wonderful vitality he had enjoyed throughout his years. He was born on the McFarlane farm now owned by Mr A.S. Duncan, and when he was but a few years of age, his father, the late Alexander Steele moved to the farm on the seventh line upon which the deceased lived until about twenty-three years ago, when he moved to Almonte, where he has since resided. He was born Sept. 10th, 1828, and was a twin, his mate dying nearly fifty years ago, from injured resulting from a kirk from a horse. On Nov 30th, 1858, he was married to Agnes Whyte, and eleven children were born to them. Two of these died in infancy, and another James R., who was captain in the U.S. Signal Service Corps in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, died there in 1898. Those living are Mrs Jas. Black (Isabella), who has been with her parent here; Mrs Jas. A. Dack (Kate) in Carleton Place; Mrs Neil Campbell (Minnie) in Arnprior; Alex A., in Mostyn, Sask.; John W, in Chicago; Dr. M.H., in Carleton Place; Dr W.H., in Arnprior, and Dr. Lorne D. in Regina. The late Mr. Steele was a man of quiet disposition and though he took keen interest in matters of public affair, he took little active part therein, though for a number of years he was a valued member of the school trustee board. He was of Scotch descent, and was a Presbyterian in religion and an ardent Liberal in politics. The funeral has been delayed until Sunday afternoon in order that Dr. Lorne, who is coming from Regina, and Mr John W., from Chicago, may reach here in time. The funeral will be at 3 o'clock, the service at the house taking place at half-past two.

Dr M.H. Steele Dies Suddenly
Carleton Place Dentist Practiced In Almonte for Many Years
The news of the death of Mr Milo Harris Steele of Carleton Place, who died suddenly in Ottawa about 2:30 on Saturday afternoon, came as a great shock to his many friends here. Although he had suffered a severe illness about one year ago, from which he had never entirely recovered, his death came unexpectedly and was a great blow to the community, who held Dr Steele in the highest respect. Deceased was visiting at the home of Mrs Wm McElroy, 145 Patterson avenue, when he died. The late Dr Steele was born in Ramsay township, near Almonte, on April 8, 1869, and was in his 59th year. He was educated at the Almonte high school and was a graduate of the College of Dental Surgeons. He took a post graduate course in the Philadelphia College of Dental Surgeons graduating in 1892. He practised his profession in Almonte for about 19 years and moved to Carleton Place about 17 years ago, where he practised until about one year ago. He always took a great interest in municipal matters, particularly education, and was a member of the local Board of Education for about 12 years, being chairman for a considerable number of years. His experience in education matters has always been of great assistance to the town, and he will be sorely missed by all with whom he came in contact. He was chairman of the Board of Education at the time of new high school was built a few years ago, and is responsible in no small degree for the high standard of educational proficiency which has been attained there. He is responsible for the present motto of the high school, "Enter to learn, go forth to serve." He was quite prominent in the Masonic order, being a past deputy grand master of this district. In addition his widow, he leaves to mourn his loss three sisters, Mrs Milo Harris, of Radison, Sask; Mrs Neil Campbell, of Arnprior; Mrs James A. Dack, of Carleton Place; four brothers, Alex of Dinsmore, Sask; John, of Chicago, Ill; Dr Lorne, of Regina, Sask; and Dr Howard, of Arnprior.
The Funeral
The funeral took place on Tuesday to St James Anglican Church in Carleton Place and to the Auld Kirk Cemetery at Almonte. A large number of friends of the deceased turned out to pay a final tribute and the many floral offerings testified to the esteem in which the late Dr Steele was held. The service at the church and burial grounds was conducted by Rev Geo G. Wright, rector of St James' church, assisted by Canon Elliott. The funeral was under the auspices of St John's Lodge, Carleton Place, A.F. and A.M. The pall-bearers were: W.G. Kelly, Almonte; W.C. Polock, Almonte; R.W. Bates, Dr E.J. Walroth, Dr A.
