    Notes:

    Died:
    By the death of Wm. McDiarmid which occurred early Tuesday morning at his home on McArthur Ave., Carleton Place has lost another of her oldest citizens. William McDiarmid was born in Carleton Place being a son of the late James McDiarmid, a son of one of the early Scotch pioneer settlers of Beckwith, and Jane Morphy his wife who was a granddaughter of the first settler of Carleton Place. William received his early education here and when a boy of 14 went to Woodstock, where he entered a general store and learned the business. He later spent a year at Stratford, after which he came to Almonte where he was engaged as salesman for several years, going from there to Arnprior, and in 1870 returning to his native town to engage in business for himself. In 1883 he married Miss Mary Lavallee, and a family of ten blessed their fireside, six sons and four daughters. Of the sons, four enlisted in the recent war, two of them under age. Two made the supreme sacrifice, Harold and Victor. A third, Arthur, the youngest, was gassed, and returned home only to follow his brothers a little later on. Leo, the eldest, returned and is at present at home. The other sons are Frank C. and Donald. The daughters are Jane, a professional nurse, who nursed her father in his recent illness, Mrs. H. Ruhl (Eva) of Albany. N. Y., and Natalie and Frances at home. Two brothers also survive, Duncan and J. Robert McDiarmid. Mr. McDiarmid was 78 years of age, and had run his course, no particular ailment being his. The funeral took place on Wednesday, and was by request a private one. The services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev. Mr. Monds.
