A "Mother in Israel" Called
After a prolonged but painless illness due to her great age Miss Agnes Paul died on Wednesday morning at the home of her nephew here, Mr Joseph Paul. Miss Paul was a daughter of the late William Paul, one of Ramsay's pioneer, and was born on the homestead on the 7th line of that township over 86 years ago. She lived in Ramsay and Almonte all her life except a few years spent with her sister (the late Mrs Lawrence Naismith) in California, and is spoken of as a model friend and neighbour, esteemed for the Christian graces that adorned her life, and especially her constant sacrifice for others. She was a Presbyterian, an active church worker while her strength remained. Her faith was firm and abiding, and she longed far the call to join the innumerable host. To those who knew her well her passing leaves a pleasant glow behind ? like an autumn sunset. Of the family of ten of her generation but one survives ? Mr Robert Paul, of Clayton. Interment takes place Friday afternoon in the Eighth Line cemetery.
