Last Tribute Is Paid George M. Gemmill
The funeral was held from the Comba Funeral Home on Monday afternoon of one of Almonte's well-known citizens, George M. Gemmill who died in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital on Wednesday evening. He was 62 years of age and while he had been in rather poor health for some time the end came suddenly. Mr Gemmill was a son of the late Mr and Mrs John Gemmill and after serving his apprenticeship in the dry goods store of the late A.J. McAdam, for some years he operated a ladies' wear and dry goods store later selling out to his partner, Mr W. Taber of Carleton Place. Of late years he was on the staff of N.S. Lee & Son, hardware merchants. The late Mr Gemmill was an enthusiastic bowler and curler and at the time of his death was President of the Almonte Lawn Bowling Club. His wife, the former Robena Mae Willoughby predeceased him many years ago. Left to mourn his passing is a son, Arthur, of Ottawa and a brother, Robert of Fort William, both of whom were present for the funeral. Attending also from Ottawa were Mr George Willoughby, Miss Myrtle and Mrs and Mrs Graydon Willoughby and children. Funeral services were conducted at the Comba Funeral Home and the grave by Rev H.L. Morrison of Trinity United Church assisted by Rev H.C. Wolfraim of Bethany United Church. Interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Pallbearers were Messrs J.E. Lindsay, F.A.C. Darling, J.D. McCallum, J.H. Martin, N.S. Lee and Derward Washburn. Mr Gemmill was a man of quiet disposition who attended to his own affairs and never was known to say unkind things about other people. Many floral offerings testified to the esteem in which he was held.
