The Late Thomas Tosh
One of the oldest residents of this village passed to rest on Friday last in the person of Mr. Thomas Tosh. He had been ill for many months and last winter had the misfortune to break his hip. Although the latter injury mended, he suffered from a heart condition which was the cause of his demise. He was in his 84th year. Mr. Tosh was born in Ramsay, son of the late William Tosh and Joanne Carswell. In 1887 he was married to Annie Dunlop who survives and on the 27th of July last, they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. When Mr. and Mrs. Tosh were first married they resided in Carleton Place for a short time, and then lived on a farm near Renfrew for nine years, later moving to the 10th line of Pakenham, where they resided until 1917, retiring then, into the village. Mr. Tosh was a stalwart member of the Presbyterian and later the United Church. He was an Oddfellow for over 50 years and was a member of Marion Lodge, Renfrew. He will be greatly missed in this community where he was noted for his jovial disposition and kindly neighbourly acts. Mr. Tosh was a member of a family of 16 children, and is survived now by only two half sisters, Mrs. Alex Clark of Arnprior and Mrs. Wm. Coxford of Almonte. There also remain to mourn his loss besides his sorrowing widow, one son, William of Madoc, and one daughter, Annie, Mrs. Norman Gillan of Forester's Falls, also three grandchildren, the Misses Helen and Norma Gillan and Joanne Tosh. The funeral services were held from his late residence on Sunday afternoon to St. Andrew's United Church and thence to the Union cemetery. Rev. Harold A. Turner, pastor officiated and delivered a very suitable address. The members of Marion Lodge, Renfrew, conducted services at the church and graveside. The pallbearers were Messrs. J. W. Barber, Harold Fishenden, Stanley Groves, Wesley Dark, Erwin Downey and Donald Snedden........

Thomas married Annie Dunlop in 1887. Annie (daughter of Charles Dunlop and Anne Houston) was born on 19 Nov 1856 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 11 Oct 1947 in Foresters Falls, Ross Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Pakenham Union Cemetery, Pakenham, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Woman Killed As Car Upset On Steep Hill
Mrs William Cannon Met Death
On Gatineau Highway On Sunday
Mr Cannon and Cephas Tosh Were Also In Car
But Escaped With Minor Injuries.
Mrs Cannon Died Shortly After Accident.
Lauriault's Hill, near Kingsmere, which is considered to be one of the most dangerous pieces of highway in the Gatineau district, and which has witnessed many fatal accidents in recent years, claimed another victim on Sunday, when Mrs William Cannon, of Almonte, motoring with her husband and a nephew. Mr Cephas Tosh, sustained such injuries that she died shortly after the automobile in which she was a passenger turned over in negotiating a bad turn over in negotiating a bad turn on the hill. The accident occurred about 12.20 in the afternoon after Mr. Tosh who did not know the district, had taken the wrong road, and, upon driving down the steep hill, was unable to brake his car, which he managed to keep to the roadway until negotiating the last turn, almost at right angles, where the car swerved into the ditch and turned over. Mrs Cannon, who was 70 years of age, was thrown out, and in falling sustained a fracture of the skull and internal injuries which resulted in her death and hour later, while Gauthier's ambulance from Hull was en route to take her to the hospital. Mr Tosh, who was driving the car, and Mr. Cannon, escaped other injury than a few bruises and scratches. Following the accident, Mr. Tosh succeeded in telephoning in to the city from a farm house close by, and Dr. Andrew Davies rushed to the scene in his car, but found, on his arrival, that the injured woman was beyond earthly assistance, and she died before the ambulance arrived.
Took Wrong Road
With her nephew, Mr. Cephas Tosh, Mrs Cannon, accompanied by her husband, left their home early on Sunday morning with the intention of visiting Col. Edward's fox farm near Meach lake where her nephew Mr. William Tosh is the manager. The trip was uneventful, until after the party had motored out as far as Chelsea, where Mr. Tosh, instead of taking the main road leading to Meach Lake, made a mistake and struck the dangerous hill known as Lauriault's. Even then he figured that he would have been able to negotiate the dangerous stretch of highway in safety, but something went wrong with the brakes, after he had gone about half its length, and the car then ran wild and overturned when safety had almost been reached. The remains of the late Mrs Cannon were removed to Gauthier's undertaking parlours at Hull, where they were viewed by coroner Dr. J.E. Isabelle, of Hull, who, after inquiring into the circumstances, decided that an inquest would not be held. The body of Mrs Cannon accompanied by her husband and nephew, was taken on the Soo train Sunday evening to Almonte. The late Mrs Cannon, who was in her seventieth year, was a very well-known residence of Ramsay township, and had lived for many years in the town of Almonte, where the news of her sudden death was received with much regret. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, and is survived, in addition to her husband, by a brother, Mr. Thomas Tosh, of Pakenham, and a half sister, Mrs William Coxford, of Almonte, and three sisters, Mrs Ellen Plant, Ottawa, Mrs J. Haber of Jersey City, and Mrs J.H. Buchanan, of Winnipeg.

John Naismith
John Naismith, who passed away on Monday, June 1st, was a son of the late Peter Naismith, one of Ramsay's early settlers, and was born in Ramsay township on July 2nd, 1834. The family consisted of six sons and three daughters, all of whom are deceased, but four, Mrs Allan Paul (Jeannie), Russell; Peter, of the 9th line, Ramsay; Allan, of Almonte, and Mrs D. Moir (Maggie), Ottawa. The late Mr Naismith was early in life imbued with the desire to make his own fortune, and left home when comparatively young man. He went to Western Ontario, where he worked until the great rush to the gold fields of British Columbia lured him away to try his fortune there, and about the year 1862 he with two companions turned their footsteps in that direction, and enduring the hardships of the journey eventually reached their destination after many months of toil. After being absent from home for almost thirty years, he gave his friends a joyful surprise by coming home once more, but only for a visit, as he returned to the mines, but a few years later he gave up the ardent stress and came east as far as Alameda, Sask, Here he took up farming and from that time on was a frequent visitor to the home of his birth. Over a year ago, however, he came east for good, making his home with his nephew, Mr Lawrence Naismith, on the old homestead, where it was his wish to spend the remaining years of his life, which proved to be of short duration. he was ill since last November, but bore the painful illness without a murmur. The late Mr Naismith was of a quiet and unassuming disposition, and those who knew him well cam best testify to the worth of his character and the strength of his friendship. Thinking more of others than himself, his hand was ever ready to help anyone in trouble, and many a home today can bless the name of "Uncle John," as he was familiarly called. The funeral took place on Wednesday, to the eighth line cemetery, many gathering to pay respect to the memory of a old and worthy friend.

The Late Mrs. Steele
The angel of death which hovers over humanity descended to this community last week and claimed the bright young life of Jessie Gilmour Naismith, beloved wife of Mr. Wm. Steele, of Claysmore, Alta., at the early age of forty-seven years. Deceased, who was the eldest daughter of the late Peter Naismith and Catherine Gilmour, was born in Ramsay township and spent her life until her marriage to Mr. Steele about nine years ago, when she went west to reside at Claysmore, Alta. About for years ago she was taken ill with a serious form of paralysis and came east to get the best medical attention and loving care but all was of no avail and death released her from all suffering on Friday. The late Mrs Steele was of a bright cheerful disposition, making the most of life although it had been darkened for years by suffering and affliction, all of which was borne with Christian patience and resignation. She leaves to mourn her husband (who was with her when she passed away), a little daughter, Kathleen, her mother, one sister and seven brothers. These are Margaret and Albert at home; Peter of Ramsay; Wm. of Denver, Col; Welland, of San Francisco, Cal.; John, Edmonton, Alta.; Jas, Heward, Sask,; Lawrence, of Morse, Sask., all of whom have the deepest sympathy of many friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral which took place from Mr. Albert Naismith's residence on the 9th line on Sunday afternoon, was very largely attended. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Turner of Montreal, in the absence of Rev. S.G. Brown, interment being made in the 8th line cemetery.

Jessie married William Mostyn Steele in 1907. William was born in 1868 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 14 Jul 1957 in Vermilion, Lloydminster Census Division, Alberta, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

BLAKENEY NEWS
? This community was suddenly overcast with gloom when the angel of death claimed the bright young life of Jean Carswell, second daughter of the late Peter Naismith of the 9th line Ramsay, at the early age of 37 years and 4 months. Deceased was of a king, cheerful disposition, making the most of life although at intervals for many years past it had been darkened by suffering and affliction, all of which had been borne with Christian patience and resignation. A few weeks ago the late Miss Naismith was taken ill with pleurisy, which, with other complications, proved too much for the already weakened body and death released her from all suffering on Friday morning. Besides her mother, she is survived by eight brothers and two sisters, (Jessie), Mrs W. Steele, Claymore, Alta, and Margaret, Peter and Albert at home; Wm, Denver, Col.; Welland, San Francisco; James, Heward, Sask; Robt, Calgary; John, Edmonton; and Lawrence, Morse, Sask, all of whom have the deepest sympathy of many friends in their sorrow, this being the second bereavement in the family inside four months.

Sudden Passing Of Tobe Naismith Widely Mourned
Death of Popular Citizen Comes As Great Shock To This District
Sad and sudden was the death this Thursday morning at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital of Lawrence Naismith, more familiarly known to his many friends at "Tobe." Mr Naismith had been indisposed for the last few weeks but was going about up to Monday afternoon when he took a turn for the worse and was confined to bed. By Tuesday noon his condition had grown so serious that he was rushed to the hospital and an Ottawa doctor was summoned to perform an emergency operation. This disclosed that Mr Naismith could not recover and the announcement came as a distinct shock to the whole town and district. There was no more active, cheerful or kindly man in Almonte than "Tobe" Naismith. His associations formed as representative in this district for General Motors Limited, of Oshawa, and a patron of sports and athletics brought him many contacts which added to his wide popularity. His passing is a great loss to a town which has suffered many similar losses in the last few years and which can ill afford the removal of such citizens.
An Active Life
The late Lawrence Naismith was born at the homestead, ninth line of Ramsay, of February 19th, 1879, and was 56 years old at the time of his sudden passing. He was a son of the late Peter Naismith and his wife, the former Catherine Gilmour, and attended school at Bennies Corners. Going West in 1898, Mr Naismith settled in Wawanesa, Man., where he operated an insurance business until 1908 when he moved to Morse, Sask. There he established a hardware, real estate and insurance business. While in Morse he served for some time as a member of the council and Board of Education, In 1922 Mr Naismith sold out his western interests and returned to the old home town of Almonte, where he formed a connection with General Motors and was a most successful representative up to the time of his death.
President Bowling Club
Deceased was a member of Bethany United Church and a life member of Morse Lodge, A.F & A.M. and a member of Granite Chapter No 61.

Great Tribute Paid Ramsay Farmer At His Funeral Sunday Afternoon
This part of Lanark County lost one of its most popular and successful citizens on Friday, May 9th, in the death of Albert George Naismith who died in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, in his 58th year, after a short illness. Mr Naismith was born on the homestead, Ninth Line of Ramsay, in sight of Almonte, a son of the late Peter Naismith and his wife, Catherine Gilmour. A short time after his father's death, he acquired the farm which is a very good one and which he continued to improve in every day during his all too short lifetime. Thirty-two years ago he married Olive May Paul who survives together with two sons and two daughters, namely, Robert of Ramsay, William at home; Mrs Wm Toop (Elsie) of Ottawa and Mrs William Endersby (Betty) of Toronto. In his own immediate family there are eight ? James of Vermillion, Alberta; Welland of Esparato, Calf.; John of Calgary; Miss Margaret at home. Deceased ? Peter, Lawrence (Tobe) Jessie (Mrs Wm Steele) and Jean. Mr Naismith's death came as a great shock and sorrow to a wide circle of friends. Whether he felt well during the winter no one knows outside of his immediate family because he wasn't a complainer. He was the jolly, jaunty type of man whom everyone likes to meet, especially those who felt down a little themselves. He was always cheerful, well informed and a good conversationalist. He knew his business as a dairy farmer, specializing in Ayshires, and it was a pleasure to hear him talk on the subject of agriculture in which he was most interested. Some years ago, in addition to running his farm with which the two boys were associated, "Ab" decided to take on the district agency for the Massey-Harris Co. His warehouse was next the Gazette office and the staff of this newspaper never had a better of more congenial neighbour. He was eminently successful in his work as an agent but his heart was in the farm. he had it in mind to turn the agency over the elder boy an when he declared he would rather farm Albert gave up the sales business with no regret at all. He took little active interest in public or semi public affairs. His heart was at home because he was a great family man. He loved to talk with the boys and girls of the immediate circle and he welcomed the friends who passed the gate and traversed the one lane up to his home. He was a director of North Lanark Agricultural Society for a few years but outside of that he attended strictly to his own affairs. He was Conservative in politics. The funeral of the late Mr Naismith, held last Sunday afternoon was one of the largest ever seen in Lanark County. When the head of the cortege reached the turn to the Auld Kirk Cemetery, at MacDonald's service station, the tail of the sad procession was still coming out his gate about two miles distant. Services were conducted at the home and graveside by Rev H.C. Wolfraim, pastor of the Almonte United Church. Pallbearers were Robt Toshack, Jas Steele, Peter Syme, Melville Paul, Clifford Rivington and Charles Black, the latter from Carleton Place. As might be expected, there was a profusion of floral offerings from organizations and individuals. It is no exaggeration to say that the death of Albert Naismith at a comparatively early age is one of those sad things that mortals have to contend with in this strange life. He was full of energy, cheerfulness and good-fellowship and had attained a position in his career where he could sit back and rest on the oars while the boys carried on. One of them was on a farm on his own a short distance away and the other was at home. But this rest after toll was not to be. Mr Naismith will be sorely missed by all who knew him. There were many at the funeral from adjacent towns and Ottawa, and Mr and Mrs Sam McKee and son, Don Don McKee and Mrs Porterfield from Toronto.

Albert married Olive May Paul in 1919. Olive (daughter of William Paul and Christena Porterfield) was born on 31 May 1895 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 11 Feb 1985 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
