J.A. Teskey
A man whose life story is inseparably entwined with the history of Ramsay passed to his eternal reward early Tuesday morning when Mr J. A. Teskey answered the call of his Creator. Mr Teskey had been in rather poor health for some years but was not taken seriously ill until some three weeks ago. John Adam Teskey was born at Appleton in 1837 a son of the late Robert Teskey, who was one of the pioneer settlers of Ramsay. Upon his father's death he succeeded to his business interests and for many years was identified with the woolen and agricultural interests of Appleton. In this work his brother Rufus was associated with him. Some years ago he sold out his woolen business to Mr Caldwell and about one year ago, having disposed of his farm to Mr Spiers, moved to Almonte where he has since resided. He is survived by his wife (formerly Miss Giles of Brockville) one son, Albert E., in Winnipeg, and one daughter, Mrs W. West, Almonte. Two brothers ? Rufus of Toronto, and R.A. of Alberta ? and three sisters ? Mrs Bredin of Winnipeg, Mrs (Dr) Giles and Mrs Deacon of Brockville. In politics Mr Teskey was a consistent supporter of the Conservative party, and was a strength to his party in many campaigns. In religion he was a Methodist, and was a staunch supporter of temperance and moral reform. Deceases carried to the tomb the accumulated respect of many years of public and private citizenship.

John married Sarah Giles on 22 Sep 1863 in Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario, Canada. Sarah (daughter of William Godkin Giles and Sarah Richards) was born on 10 Apr 1833 in Athens, Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario, Canada; died on 20 Apr 1909 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mrs W. West Is Widely Mourned
Death Calls Esteemed Almonte Lady Following Lengthy Illness
The funeral of Ethel Teskey, wife of Wesley West, who died at her home on Union Street, on Wednesday, after an illness of over two years, took place on Friday, Dec 14. Mrs West was the only surviving daughter of the late John Adam Teskey, owner of the Appleton Woollen Mills. Her great-grandfather John Teskey, came from County Limerick in Ireland, about 1819, and settled on a farm on the 11th line of Ramsay near Appleton. Her mother, Sarah Giles came from Athens, where her family had settled about 1811, having come from Ireland. Born in Appleton on Dec 7, 1873, Mrs West attended the Appleton school as a child and later the Carleton Place High School and Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, where she graduated as gold medallist in elocution, in which field she displayed rare talent throughout life. She was married on Sept 26th, 1900, to Wesley West, and came to Almonte, where she had since resided. Surviving are her husband, Wesley West; six children: Muriel (Mrs R.C. MacFarlane) Winnipeg; Kathleen (Mrs J.C. Stevenson) Owen Sound; Edith of the Perth Collegiate Staff; Gerald, student at Clarkson School of Technology, New York State; Jack and Orrie at home: and a brother Albert, of Winnipeg. After a private service at the home a public service was held in Trinity United Church, where Mrs West was a member and faithful worker in various departments. Many friends and acquaintances were present to show respect to one who had always been interested in affairs of the community. Rev Andrew McLauchlin, B.A., B.D., her minister, spoke from the text, "A Virtuous Women." Those who know her best felt that Mr McLauchlin's opening sentence was very appropriate. He said, "I feel as though I had listened to the finale of a beautiful musical composition." The pastor paid tribute to the cheerfulness and Christian faith that had been uppermost at all time and recounted some of the services she had rendered to the church and community interest, especially in connection with Women's Missionary Society and Ladies' Aid as secretary of the Alexandra Club and patroness of the N.L.A.S. Fair. Interment was at the Auld Kirk cemetery on the 8th line of Ramsay. Rev C.D. McLellan, B.A., B.D., of Bethany United Church assisted at both the church and graveside services. The pallbearers were T.A. Thompson, M.P., P.A. Grieg, J.S. Hudson, R.A. Jamieson, W.A. Jamieson, all of Almonte and Robt Baird of Appleton. The A.H.S. cadets formed a guard of honour and marched with the funeral procession from the house. There were floral tributes from The Lanark and Carleton County Telephone Co., The Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society of Trinity United Church, the officers of the Girl Guides and the 1st Ranger Company. The Perth Collegiate Institute staff; the staff and pupils of the Almonte High School; the staff of Mr West's store and from many relatives and friends. Friends from out of town included Mrs Hugh Conn of Ottawa, The Misses Nora and Gwen Teskey of Ottawa, Mrs J. Cockill and Miss Giles of Athens, Mr Barnet Dulmage of Smiths Falls, and Mr and Mrs N.S. Robertson of Arnprior.

John W. Neilson
Mrs John Stewart, of Appleton writes as follows to the Gazette:
It seldom falls the lot of your correspondent to chronicle a death which had caused such widespread sorrow and sympathy as that of Mr John W. Neilson, who passed to the "Great Beyond," on Sunday morning at his home in Almonte. Mr Neilson was in his 68th year. He was born, and raised on the farm now occupied by his third son, John B. Neilson. About nineteen years ago he bought from his youngest brother, James, the Elm Dale Farm, now occupied by his second son, William H. Neilson. On that farm he made a real home, until four years ago, when Mrs Neilson failing health caused them to abandon the strenuous life of the farm, and move into Almonte. Since that time his own health had been giving anxiety to his friends. A stroke of paralysis last Monday evening of last week, brought his useful life to a close. He leaves to mourn his passing, besides his wife, five sons, George, William H. and John B. of Ramsay, Gordon of Winnipeg and MacFarlane of Chatham. Two daughters, Laura and Elsie predeceased him. He is also survived by his youngest brother, James, of Toronto, and two sisters, Annie, Mrs Alec Turner, of Ramsay, and Maggie, Mrs Robert Karr of Vancouver. A younger sister, Jean, Mrs Wood, died in Haileybury, some years ago. Mr Neilson was a Presbyterian in religion and a Liberal in politics. He was a prince of good neighbours, absolutely honourable and upright in all his dealings, genial, friendly and hospitable, doing a good deed whenever, and wherever possible. We mourn the passing of a type of man not often met with in this age. The sympathy of this community goes out to Mrs Neilson and family in their great bereavement. Another correspondent of the Gazette writes: "It was very sad to lose John W. Neilson. He was a rare type of man. He had simple, unassuming ways, and neither affectation nor ostentation had any place in his life. He was all genuine. Friendliness and consideration for others were conspicuous traits of his nature. The art of being kind ? the most needed art in all the world ? was the one in which he was most proficient, and many there are who bear witness to his gracious deed of kindness and to his warm sympathy in time of trouble. "When he retired from farming he still kept in close touch with his boys who remained on the farms, and at the same time his two sons who were absent from the home circle were not forgotten, for they found in his numerous letters a faithful chronicle of the doings of the folk at home. He missed sadly his daughter Laura who died in 1902 when she was only 18 years of age. Another daughter died in infancy." The funeral was held from his late residence on Church street, and the large attendance indicated the esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful. The service was conducted by Rev Edwin Preston of the Presbyterian church. Interment was made at the Aud Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs Robt Woods, George Neilson, John Simpson, William Simpson, Herb Simpson and John Metcalfe. Friends from a distance included Mr and Mrs Wm Scott and Miss Florence Scott, Sault Ste Marie; Mrs Robt Woods, New Liskeard; Mr Geo Neilson, Toronto; Mr and Mrs J. Forgie and Miss Sarah Neilson, Renfrew; also friends from Arnprior, Ottawa and Carleton Place etc.

John married Agnes Simpson on 15 Mar 1883 in Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Agnes (daughter of William Simpson and Ann Gemmill "Annie" Forgie) was born on 9 Jan 1858 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 11 Mar 1931 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 14 Mar 1931 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Mr Neilson was 61 years of age, the son of the late Matthew Neilson, one of the earliest
Ramsay farmers, and a brother of Mr John Neilson who recently moved into Almonte. The Neilson family has played a very conspicuous part in the early settlement of the township and has during suceeding generations held the high esteem of everyone in the community.

The late Mr Neilson had farmed on the twelfth line during his entire lifetime and thirty-two years ago married Miss Annie Wood. daughter of the late Patrick Wood of Pakenham township. To this union were born three boys and three girls: Alan and Lillian at home, Annie teaching in Alberta, (Elsie) Mrs T. S. Arthur, of Carleton Place,Merrill, of Vancouver, and Frank, of Alberta. This is the first break in the family, and it was Mr Neilson's first sickness.
