Almonte Gazette - August 17, 1883 - Death of Mr. T. Coulter

Quite a sensation was created in town on Monday noon, as the intelligence circulated that our well known and respected town clark was very dangerously ill, and was greatly intensified a short time afterwards when from one to another was conveyed the sad news that 'Poor Tom is gone.'

At all times a familiar figure on the streets, and mixed up with every phase of public life, added to the fact that he was out and talked familiarly with on Saturday, gave to the news of his death a sharpness from which those who heard it seemed to recoil, and drew from all an expression of profound sympathy, which widened and deepened as the mournful tidings spread.

The deceased was preeminently a public man, and was associated with many institutions, municipal and others, and in which he held office at his death. Mr. Thos. Coulter was born at Clayton, in the township of Ramsay, on the 22nd Aug., 1830, so that at his death he was within a few days of being fifty-three years of age.

He grew up and settled in Clayton, and for several years kept a store and the post office in that village, where, by his business ability and courtesy, he made a host of friends. In 1856, he was appointed a commissioner for taking affidavits for use in the Courts of Ontario, and in 1860, he was appointed by the then Governor-General, Sir Edmund Head, an Ensign in the militia. In 1871, he was appointed Clerk of the township of Ramsay, and in order to give his family the benefit of the education Almonte afforded, he moved into the then village, and was appointed clerk to the municipality, in 1872. The same year he was elected to the office of Secretary to the North Lanark Ag. Society, and a little later was appointed Secretary-Treasurer to the Almonte Board of Education, and all these offices he filled at the time of his death.

It was noticed by his friends that he had been failing for some time, and last week he was severely attacked by dysentery, but was about as usual on Saturday. On the evening of that day, however, he was taken much worse, and alarming symptoms manifested themselves. At two o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, the end came, and death terminated the existence of as courteous an official as ever held office.

We have been told that when he kept the post office, he would get up in the night at any hour to give out a letter. The many positions he held made him widely known, and his genial manner made him respected by all, and the evidence of this was seen in the very large number that attended his funeral, which took place on Wednesday last, and which was in charge of the Masonic body, a large number of the fraternity from Pakenham and other places joining Mississippi Lodge in paying their last respects to the departed brother.

A short service by the Masons was held in the house, and the funeral cortege was then formed, headed by the Masons, and followed by the Mayor and Council and the Board of Education of Almonte, and the Reeve, Deputy-Reeve and Council of Ramsay. Immediately after the mourners a very large number from both town and country followed the remains, which were borne to St. Paul's Church, where the Rev. F.L. Stephenson conducted the funeral service, the church being filled, and numbers unable to get in.

The procession was again formed in like order, and wended its way through the town to St. George's Cemetery, near Clayton. The number of vehicles following was large, and was added to at every turn. The service of the English Church and the Masonic ritual were completed at the grave, and thus were laid away in their last resting place the mortal remains of one whose familiar figure will no more be seen in our midst, who had no enemies, and respecting whom the universal verdict was 'He was a real good-hearted fellow.'

The deceased left a widow and four children (three daughters and one son), who mourn the removal of a kind husband and father, and with whose loss the public deeply sympathize.

?b?John Arthur Steele Passes?/b?
After funeral services in Ottawa, John Arthur Steele (Art) was interred at the Auld Kirk Cemetery, Almonte, September 4th. Mr Steele was born in 1894 on the Steele Century Farm, 8th line, Ramsay Township, the son of John Steele and Amy Coulter, and grandson of a Scot who came to Ramsay in the 1820's. Mr Steele always had great affection for Almonte and its people. Mr Steele leaves his wife, Laura McGregor, formerly of Pakenham; five daughters, Aileen, Amy (Mrs Robert Kempster) and Patricia, all of Ottawa; Joan (Mrs Humfry Peake), of England; Dr Marion Steele of Guelph; a son, Dr John Steele of Ottawa; two sisters, Louise of Cobourg and Beth (Mrs Hal Kirkland) of Almonte; a brother, Ernest of Toronto. He was predeceased by a sister, May and brothers Alex and James. After graduating from Almonte High School he entered the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. He, together with his comrade, the late Hal Kirkland, enlisted in the First University Corps which in July 1915 reinforced the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. After the war, he again attended the O.A.C.; later at Iowa State College he received his M.Sc. In 1920 Mr Steele joined the staff of the Soldier Settlement Board, working in British Columbia and Alberta. Later he served as a dairy promoter in Ontario and organized cow testing associations in Quebec. In 1925 he joined the livestock branch of the Canadian Department of Agriculture as a livestock fieldman for Nova Scotia. He is fondly remembered by many farmers and former Calf Club members there, where he introduced such then-new procedures as artificial insemination. In 1946 he returned to the Ottawa Valley on his appointment as assistant chief registration officer. In 1960 when he retired he was head of the Record of Performance, cattle section, of the livestock division. After his retirement he contributed articles to the Family Herald and other farm journals commenting on such subjects as the valuation system for farm price of milk. Mr Steele was a member of the Mason, the Canadian Legion, the Agricultural Institute of Canada and the O.A.C. Alumni. From the O.A.C. year book of 1920, the following quotation reveals aspects of Art which endeared him to so many: "In the spring of 1915 he took a trip to the Old Country with the P.P.C.L.I. serving with them until demobilized in 1919. While in France his thoughts wandered back to the old orchard on the farm upon seeing a pear tree some short distance from the trenches, and his fondness for pears was responsible for him being the object of an enemy sniper. However, Art got the pears and cheated the sniper of the coveted notch in he but of his rifle. Later, however, he selected an enemy bullet more to his liking and took a trip to the hospital areas. While convalescing, Paris claimed his attention and by the time he returned to his unit he could say, "Oui, la la." At the college many humourous sayings have originated in Art's cortex. He hold the record for breaking chemical apparatus, his bank account and monotony. To art all life's troubles are soluble in a grin and we expect to find him growing two turnips where one grew before, when he returns to agricultural life."

John married Laura Isabelle McGregor in 1927. Laura (daughter of Alexander S. McGregor and Martha Martin) was born on 21 Jan 1898 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 16 Jul 1982 in Ottawa, Ottawa Municipality, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

James H. Steele Dies Suddenly
Residents of Almonte and the surrounding farming community were saddened to learn of the sudden passing of James Harold Steele of the 8th line of Ramsay, on the morning of Friday, May 24th. Mr. Steele had gone to the mailbox about 10 a.m., when he was apparently stricken with a heart attack . He was in his 78th year.

Raised on one of Ramsay's pioneer farms in a family of brothers and sisters who chose a wide variety of careers, Jimmie, as he was affectionately known in his community, modestly referred to himself as a "tiller of the soil." It was his love of the land, his great knowledge of agricultural production and his ability to recognize and adapt to modern tillage methods, new strains and varieties of crops that enabled him to establish a reputation of being an outstanding agriculturist. Jimmie in his own quiet way was always prepared to share his experience, his knowledge and his energies with his friends and neighbours and help them in this way to share the success he realized in his own chosen career. In fraternal circle he was a member of Mississippi Lodge No. 147, A.F. and AM., Almonte, and was a Toronto Shriner. A Masonic service was held Saturday evening at 7.30 p.m. at the funeral home. He was married on September 19, 1934, Almonte, to the former Elsie Barker, who survives together with two sons, John of Almonte and Gerald, Montreal, and a daughter, Jessie (Mrs. Gordon Henderson) of Ottawa. Also surviving are two brothers, Art of Ottawa and Ernest of Toronto and two sisters, Beth (Mrs. Hal Kirkland) of Almonte, and Louise of Cobourg. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon, May 26th, at 2 o'clock from the Comba Funeral Home, 127 Church street, Almonte, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery for burial. Rev. A. C. Dodds of Pakenham, conducted the services. The pallbearers were Jack Snedden, Stewart Manary, Ken Duncan, Robert Cochran, Jim Cochran and Bob Naismith.
