With deep regret we have to announce the death on Tuesday evening last, (at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr Thomas Houston, 6th con. Ramsay) of Janet McFarlane, relict of Daniel Galbraith, Esq., in her 75th year. Deceased had caught cold a week prior to her death, and in spite of everything that could be done for her by medical skill and the devoted attention of her relatives the spirit left its earthly tenement. News of Mrs Galbraith's demise was received with sorrow on all sides, as she was well known throughout the county, and was greatly esteemed for her qualities of head and heart. Deceased was the eldest child of the late Robert McFarlane. She was born in Scotland in 1821, an when a babe not many weeks old she left the old land with her parents for Canada, they being among the first settlers of these parts. In the fifties she married the late Daniel Galbraith, who for thirty years was one of Lanark county's most prominent and useful public men, filling the most important positions in the gift of the people during the greater part of that time; and his death on Dec. 17th, 1879, created universal sorrow. During her husband life Mrs Galbraith ever proved an able helpmate, and by her hospitality and geniality won a wide circle of warm friends. Seven children are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate and indulgent mother. They are: Mrs Andrew Houston, Mrs Thos. Houston, Mrs Robert Black and Miss Nellie Galbraith of Ramsay; Miss Kate Galbraith and Mrs Thompson Elliott, of Carberry, N.W.T.; and Mr Robert A. Galbraith, of Parry Sound. Deceased was a sister of Messrs. Matthew, James and Robert L. McFarlane, and Mrs A. Baird Appleton, Mrs Wm. Stephenson and Mrs R. Anderson, Carleton Place. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, Ramsay We join the whole community in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.

James MacFarlane
Last Friday morning Mr James MacFarlane closed his long and active career on this earth and Almonte lost one of its oldest citizens. Mr MacFarlane, who had passed 84 years had lived nearly all of that long period in Almonte and vicinity and until his eyesight failed, some twelve years ago, had always been a man of more than common energy and progressiveness of spirit. He was a son of the late Robert MacFarlane, who died in 1885. He was born on the Broad Lea farm, just above the Elmsdale mill on the C.P.R. rightof- way long before there was any C.P.R., on Dec 1, 1825. He learned the trade of harness making, which he followed for a few years. In 1850 he was married to Ann MacFarlane, who predeceased him in 1890. Shortly afterward he was seized with the gold fever and joined the rush to California in the early fifties, but he only remained a few years, returning to Almonte, where he took possession of the Henry Cavers farm, which he worked until about 1863. About this time the Brockville and Ottawa railway came to Almonte and Mr MacFarlane entered the employ of the company, as baggageman and sectionman, which positions he held until 1883. He was then night watchman for the Wylie mill for a number of years, being forced to retire in 1898, when his eyesight failed, and for the past twelve years he had been totally blind, an affliction which he bore with patient resignation, being at all times an interesting narrator of the stories of early days. He has one brother, R.L., a fire ranger at Warren, Ont, living, and one sister, Mrs Anderson, of Carleton Place. Of his own family, two sons, Messrs Albert and Malcolm, survive. The funeral on Monday was a gathering of many friends paying the final tribute of respect to a long and interesting life. Interment was made in the 8th line cemetery.

James married Ann Paterson McFarlane in 1854. Ann (daughter of George McFarlane and Helen McFarlene) was born on 24 Apr 1831 in Glasgow City, Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 1 Nov 1890 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 3 Nov 1890 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Matthew McFarlane
?/b?A pioneer settler of Ramsay, widely, known and greatly respected, passed away suddenly last Friday morning, when M. Matthew McFarlane joined the majority in the great beyond. For a couple of years he has been troubled with heart affection and although at times it seemed as if with the burden of four-score years against him he must go down in the unequal contest, yet his wonderful vitality again and again brought him through, and he was able to be around and enjoy fairly good health until about ten days before his death, when he was again taken ill, but though confined to bed his condition was not considered at all critical. On Friday morning he seemed as well as usual, and had partaken of his customary morning meal, but about 9:30 he was taken suddenly worse and expired in a few minutes. The deceased was born December, 1822, on the homestead farm adjoining Almonte, on which his brother Mr. Robt. L. McFarlane, lived for many years. He was a son of the late Robert McFarlane, who came to Canada in 1821 and settled on the homestead. He was married in March, 1845, to Mary Snedden, who died twelve years ago. After his marriage he bought the farm where he since lived from the late James King. He has three brothers and four sisters, four of whom survive: Mrs Robt. Anderson, Carleton Place; Mrs Andrew Baird, Appleton; Mrs Jas. McFarlane, Almonte, and Mr Robert L. McFarlane, of Warren, Ont. The late Mrs Daniel Galbraith, of Ramsay, the late Mrs Wm Stephenson, of Carleton Place, and the late John McFarlane were also members of his father's family. He had five sons an five daughters. Eight of his family survive him: David S., of Carleton Place; John on the homestead; Mrs S. Young, Bennie's Corners; Mrs M.C. McFarlane, Almonte; M.J., Almonte, and Miss Aggie and Mrs A. Anderson, Bennie's Corners; Tena on the homestead. Two sons, Robert and William, predeceased him. There are nineteen grandchildren. The late Mr. McFarlane was of retiring disposition, and though in an unobtrusive way he wielded quite an influence in the community, he would never consent to accept any public municipal position. He was a progressive farmer and took a deep interest in all matters pertaining to his calling, and for several years was a director of the North Lanark Agricultural Society. He was for years a successful exhibitor of stock at the fair when it was held in Carleton Place, and was known as the Lanark county fair. He was a staunch Liberal, and ever stood for what he thought was best. As a member of the Presbyterian church, his life was on of consistency with the profession he made. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, and was one of the largest seen in this section for a long time, there being over one hundred vehicles in the cortege, many friends having come from a distance to show they their presence their respect and esteem for the deceased, and their sympathy with the bereaved family. Burial was made at the eighth line cemetery, Rev G. Cowan MacLean officiating at the house and grave.

M. married Mary Snedden in Mar 1845. Mary (daughter of David Snedden and Agnes Whyte) was born in 1823 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 26 Oct 1889 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

?b?Robert A. Galbraith Died This Morning?/b?
Member of Prominent Ramsay Family Succumbs After Long Illness
Mr Robert Ayr Galbraith died early this morning at his home in Carleton Place. He was 62 years of age. He was a native of Ramsay, a son of the late Daniel Galbraith, at one time member of Parliament for North Lanark, and was educated in Almonte. Few men were better known. The Galbraith family has been identified with Ramsay almost since its establishment as a township. Mr Galbraith had been in failing health for some years. Last winter was spent in California in the hope of improvement, but he gained little. The death of his son, Capt Murray Galbraith, the distinguished aviator, who was killed at Camp Borden last year, was a severe blow to him. In his younger days he was a prominent athlete. His business was that of a prospector and railroad construction engineer, and he enjoyed to a marked degree the confidence of those with whom he was associated in business. He retired a number of years ago. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Isabel. Mrs Galbraith's maiden name was Elizabeth Bayne. She is a sister of Mrs John D. Taylor, of Almonte. A sister Miss Nellie Galbraith, nursed the deceased in his last illness.
