Very Sudden Death
Mr James Neilson of Ramsay,
Expires Almost Without Warning on Monday

? short sketch of His Life.
The people of Almonte and the surrounding country were greatly shocked on Monday morning last to learn that Mr James Neilson, one of Ramsay's most respected farmers had died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart. Mr Neilson was in his usual health till Christmas Day. On that day, after going home from church, he was taken slightly ill, but recovered to a great extent, and nothing serious was feared, During the week following Mr Neilson did not feel quite well, but on the morning on which he died he ate a hearty breakfast and felt better than he had done for some days. Between ten and eleven o'clock he felt a sharp pain in the region of the heart, and died inside of two or three minutes. The late Mr Neilson was a man of sterling character, and enjoyed the esteem of the whole community. He was an elder in St. Andrew's church, and was an exemplary Christian all his life, and his family have the consolation of knowing that the dread summons, though it came suddenly did not find him unprepared. Mr Neilson was a thrifty and progressive farmer. He was a strong Liberal in politics, a man of good natural abilities, and well informed, but was of too quiet and retiring a disposition to ever accept any public position. He was born in Paisley, Scotland, May 15th, 1820. He came to Canada in 1821 with his father, the late John Neilson, who settled on the 12th line of Ramsay immediately after coming to this country. The deceased lived for 52 years on the old homestead and the balance of his life on the farm on which he died, and which he purchased several years ago from Mr Robert Bryson, of Almonte. In 1845 Mr Neilson was married to Miss Marion McFarlane, who survives him. Mr and Mrs Neilson had nine children, and all but one are still living, vis: Mrs David Forgie (Marion), of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs (Rev) J. Wilkie (Agnes), of Indore, Central India; Matthew, C.E., of Calgary; William G., of Beaver, B.C.; and John, Sarah, Mary and Jessie, who are living on the homestead. We tender our deepest sympathy to the widow and family who have been so suddenly bereaved. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon to St. Andrew's church here, thence to the cemetery, and was very largely attended.

?b?Mrs Wm Smith?/b?
Mrs Wm Smith, of the 11th line, Ramsay, had been in poor health for several weeks, though able to be about the house at times, and was not thought to be seriously ill, but on Wednesday morning death came and ended a long and useful life. Mrs Smith, who was in her 77th year, was Jean Neilson, daughter of the late John Neilson, and was born on the 12th line of Ramsay, one of a family of nine, of whom only one, Mrs Gavin Hamilton, is now living. The deceased was married to Mr Smith over fifty years ago, and has since lived on the farm upon which she died. The family born to them consisted of five sons, one of whom died in infancy, and three daughters. The daughters are Misses Agnes and Jennie, at home, and Miss Mary, who follows her profession as trained nurse in Ottawa, but who was home and tended her mother in her declining health. The sons who attained manhood are William, who is dead, John at Winnipeg; Robert, at Cornwall, and James, who died a year or two ago. Mrs Smith was of a quiet and retiring disposition, but her kind and motherly nature endeared her to many who bear testimony to her willingness to sacrifice her won comfort and convenience if by doing so she could help a needy friend or neighbour. The funeral takes place on Friday to the eighth line Cemetery. The bereaved family and friends have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.

The funeral of the late Mrs W. Smith, of Ramsay, took place last Friday afternoon from her husband's residence to the eighth line cemetery. A large procession of friends followed the body to its last resting place, showing the esteem in which the deceased lady was held.


For nearly half-a-century a missionary in India under the Presbyterian Church in Canada, Mrs Agnes Wilson Wilkie, widow of Rev Dr Jno Wilkie, died July 16th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs J.A. Brown, 67 Chaplin Crescent, Toronto, in her 96th year. Following her husband's retirement 15 years ago, Dr and Mrs Wilkie left India to make their home in Canada. Dr Wilkie died on the journey and was buried in the Red Sea. Mrs Wilkie, then 80 years of age, continue her journey to Toronto, where she had lived since with her daughter. Mrs Wilkie was born in Almonte and taught school here for a number of years prior to her marriage to Dr Wilkie who was teaching at the same time in Almonte High School. It was some remark of Rev McKenzie, then Presbyterian minister in Almonte, which caused Dr Wilkie to take up foreign mission work. Following their marriage, Dr. and Mrs Wilkie went at one to India, where they served as pioneer missionaries in Indore and Jhansi. Dr Wilkie, from funds collected by himself, built Indore College now affiliated with Calcutta University, as he believed the best results could be obtained by Christianizing the youth of India. Bible study was a essential part of every student's program. After establishing a great plant at Indore, Dr and Mrs Wilkie went to Jhansi and began educational work there, Boys' and Girls' Boarding Schools were built and an industrial school and Model Farm were established. Massy Harris and Australian plows were shipped out and also other agricultural machinery and farming was carried out, under an expert, on progressive, modern lines. The converts were then placed on these farms. Failing health forced Dr Wilkie's retirement to Canada 15 years ago, but he ever reached his homeland. Since coming to Toronto, Mrs Wilkie has retained her interest in missionary work and corresponded extensively until two years ago, with missionaries all over the world, whom she had met on her journey back and forth. In spite of travelling over most of the world, she loved above all places, her home town Almonte and was heard to say, when she arrived in Canada "Now I shall die happy, because I can be buried in Almonte." It was there she was laid to rest on July 19th in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. She is survived by her sister, Miss Jessie Neilson, Almonte and one son and two daughters, Mrs T. Graham Mitchell, Australia; Rev J. H. Wilkie, Cawnpore, India, and Mrs J.A. Brown, Toronto. Also surviving are two grandsons, Spencer Wilkie in the American Army and Neilson Wilkie in the American Navy; two grand-daughters Janet and Joan Wilkie, Toronto, one grandson Donald Mitchell and a granddaughter Helen Mitchell in Australia. The late Mrs Wilkie had a very charming and gracious personality and made friends easily among all classes of people. In India she was called "The Angel of Jhansi."

?b?Death of Mr W.G. Neilson, M.P.P.?/b?

A Busy and Useful Life Ended in its Prime

? Biographical Sketch ?
The Funeral a Splendid Tribute to a Popular Young Man
When the GAZETTE went to press last week Mr W.G. Neilson, of Calgary, member for North-East Kootenay in the British Columbia legislature, was lying at the residence of his brother, Mr John Neilson, 11th line Ramsay, Hopelessly ill from oedema of the lungs. He had returned with Mrs Neilson from Montreal on Tuesday, January 3rd, after being in bed for a week with grippe, and during the drive out into the country he caught cold. His condition became so alarming the on Thursday Dr Roddick, of Montreal, was summoned for consultation with the attending physicians. Dr R. arrived by the Soo train at 2:53 on Friday, but two hours earlier Mr Neilson succumbed, to the regret of a host of warm friends, not only here and in the far west, but wherever he was known. Although he had been a resident of the west for the past twelve years, the grief exhibited by the people of Almonte and around his old home in Ramsay at his untimely death was as great as if he had been a continuous resident of these parts. The late Mr Neilson was born in Ramsay in 1862, and was in his 37th year. After attending the Almonte high school for a number of years, he left home in 1881, at the age of 19, and for a year he was engaged as rodman in the engineering department of the construction of the Kingston & Pembroke railway. In the spring of 1882 he went to Winnipeg, and the quick and ready business turn which was one of his strongest characteristics soon secured him an important position ? that of having charge of the forwarding of supplies from Winnipeg to the end of the C.P.R. track. A letter about this time from Mr Burdick contractor, to the late Mr James Neilson (father of deceased), show the high esteem in which he was held by his employers. Mr B. congratulated Mr Neilson on having such a noble son, and says he has unlimited confidence in him and entrust him with all his business secrets. Later on Mr Neilson was given full charge of all the stores in the mountains, amounting at times in value to half-a-million dollars. Mr Neilson remained in the employ of the C.P.R. contractors until connection was made with the Pacific end of the line. In December, 1885, he came east and was married on January 13th, 1886, to Miss Jennie Anderson, of Prospect, Beckwith. In the spring of 1886 he went west again, and had charge of all the supplies, etc., for Ross & McDermott, contractors for the erection of snow-sheds on the C.P.R. line in the Selkirk Mountains. On the completion of this contract in December, Mr Neilson came east again, and took up house in Almonte, where he lived until the spring of 1887, when he received an appointment on the "International Railway of Maine," or what is sometimes called the C.P.R. short line. His work there, as in previous years, was at first connected with supply department, but he afterward had charge of the tracklaying on the Brownville Division. On the completion of the short line in December, 1888, Mr Neilson returned to Almonte, where he remained until the spring of 1889, when he was appointed secretary-treasurer and superintendent of the offices of the Columbia River Lumber Company, with headquarters at Beaver, British Columbia. He was also postmaster at Beaver, and justice of the peace. In 1891 he was appointed manager of the C.R. Lumber Company, with full charge of the whole business. This position he held at the time of his death, and during his term of management the business increased greatly. His employers, Messrs Ross & Mackenzie speak in the highest terms of Mr Neilson. At home, and among his old schoolmates and neighbours, Mr Neilson was always known as a bright, happy, manly, modest fellow ? one of the kind with a ring of the true metal; and as a business man his career was characterized by honesty, trustworthiness and more then ordinary business talent. That the people among whom his lot was cast were not unappreciative of his ability was shown by his election last June as the representative of one of the Kootenays in the legislature, and while here he was anxiously looking forward to his first session in that body, being ambitious to serve his constituents to advantage; but Providence ordained that he should never take his seat there, and he died the very day set apart for the opening of the new legislature, Another mournful reminder of "what shadows we are and what shadows we pursue." ....... The funeral took place on Sunday at 2 p.m. from the homestead in Ramsay to the eighth line cemetery. It was one of the largest ever seen in this neighbourhood, in spit of the disagreeable weather..........We join this whole community in tendering Mrs Neilson and family, the aged mother and the brothers and sisters of the deceased our deepest sympathy in the sad a sudden sorrow through which they have been called to pass.

William married Mary Jean "Jennie" Anderson on 13 Jan 1886 in Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Mary was born on 3 Apr 1863 in Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 20 Sep 1946 in Arnprior, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 22 Sep 1946 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
