The Late Mrs D. Galbraith?/b?
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.

?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.
