    Mrs J.W. Neilson
    In spite of the conditions of the roads on Saturday practically every family in this district was represented at the funeral of the late Mr John W. Neilson. We extend deepest sympathy to Mrs Alec Turner and to the Neilson family in the passing of Mrs Neilson, who was laid to rest in the Auld Kirk Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, after many years of suffering. Mrs Neilson was the daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Wm Simpson and had spent most of her married life on the 12th and 11th lines of Ramsay, till she and Mr Neilson moved to Almonte 10 years ago. All her family were born in the home on the 12th line and two daughters died there, Elsie in infancy and Laura, a beautiful girl of 19 years. Mr Neilson died about five years ago. She leaves to mourn her loss five sons, four of whom were with her at her death. Gordon of Winnipeg, was home recently but was unable to be present at the funeral. George had been helping to care for her since early fall, William H. and John B. of Ramsay and McFarlane of Toronto. There are also six sisters and three brothers bereaved. The sisters, Annie, Mrs Alec Scott, Margaret, Mrs Wm Scott, both of the Soo; Elizabeth, Mrs John Metcalfe of Ramsay; Mrs Marion Dodds of the West, and Misses Belle and Martha of Almonte. Three brothers, William, John and Herbert are also in Ramsay. One brother Charles Simpson died in Arnprior last year. Mrs Neilson was very highly esteemed by her neighbours and friends, and had a wonderful devotion for her home and family. She was Presbyterian in religion. Her minister Rev Fowlie had charge of the funeral, assisted by Rev Aird of the Baptist Church. The floral offerings were beautiful. A pillow from the family; Broken Circle from the sisters, Misses Belle and Martha and Mr Herbert Simpson; a spray from the grandchildren; spray from Mr and Mrs Alec Scott, Soo; and a spray from Mr and Mrs Wm Scott, Soo; a beautiful floral basket from Mr and Mrs Geo Comba; a wreath from Miss Annie Neilson, Appleton; a spray from Mrs Alec Turner, and a spray from Miss Ida A. Paul, Appleton. The pall-bearers were Messrs William, John and Hugh Metcalfe. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were Mr and Mrs William Scott and Miss Florence Scott from the Soo, Mr McFarlane Neilson, Toronto, Mrs Chas Simpson, Mrs R. Robertson and Mrs McNab, Arnprior.

    Agnes married John Wilson Neilson on 15 Mar 1883 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. John (son of Matthew McFarlene Neilson and Emeline Teskey) was born in Dec 1858 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 9 May 1926 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 11 May 1926 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

    In Ramsay, on Sept 5th, Laura May, daughter of Mr J.W. Neilson, aged 18 years and 6 months.

    1902, Friday September 12, The Almonte Gazette page 5
    Appleton News
    ? We deeply regret to chronicle the death of a young lady in our midst, in the person of Miss Laura May Neilson, whose spirit took its flight on Friday night of last week at the early age of 18 years and 6 months. The deceased young lady contacted a cold last winter, which settled on her lungs, and notwithstanding all that medical aid could do she kept gradually going down, till finally the end came. Laura was of a bright disposition and the only daughter of Mr and Mrs John W. Neilson, another little girl having died about nine years ago. Deceased was confined to bed for a short time only during her sickness, as at times she was able to be up, and last Friday morning was able to sit up for a short time. All the family approached the bedside as the end drew near, and she said goodbye to each one of them, her last words being "Asleep in Jesus." The father, mother and five brothers remain to mourn the loss of a loving daughter and sister. The funeral took place Monday afternoon from her father's residence to the eighth line cemetery and was largely attended. The pallbearers were Messrs J.A. McGreagor, John Woods, John Struthers. Robert Aitken, Edger Cavers and E.H. Turner, Mr and Mrs Neilson and family have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sad bereavement.
