?b?John McGill Is Called By Death?/b?
Respected Citizen of Pakenham Twp. Passes At Great Age of 92 Years.
There passed away at his home in Blakeney one of the most outstanding figures in the district, connecting the present generation with the pioneer life of nearly a century ago, in the person of John McGill who died Friday evening last. Born in Ireland in 1842, he came to this country with his parents at the age of seven years. The family resided at Bell's Corners during the year 1849 and came to Pakenham township in 1850, carving themselves a homestead out of the bush that covered the entire country at that time. This old McGill homestead is located on the 11th line of Pakenham and is still occupied by the family in the person of W.T. McGill well known throughout the district as a fox rancher of broad experience. The late Mr McGill resided on the homestead until 16 years ago, when he retired to reside in Blakeney, leaving the labours of over 60 years to a new generation.
Like most young men who pioneered in this part of Canada he worked in the lumber camps in his early days. He was and expert hewer with the broad axe and could recall many interesting experiences in connection with those exciting chapters of life in the forests along the Bonnechere and other tributaries of the Ottawa as well as lumber camps in the state of Michigan.
A veteran of the Fenian Raid trouble of 1866, Mr McGill enlisted with a detachment of the 42nd regiment that was recruited at Pakenham under the late Major O'Neill. He went to Cornwall and remained with the colours until the troops were disbanded. In his time he took an interest in municipal affairs of the township being one of the reeves of Pakenham, in the early days.
Married in 1870.
Mr McGill was married in Almonte in 1870 by Rev Mr Gordon to Miss Catherine McKay of Lanark Township, who survives him at the age of 85.
This remarkable couple having entered wedded life three years after the young Dominion was born, celebrated their golden jubilee in July, 1930, the occasion being marked by kindly felicitations from a wide circle of friends throughout the Ottawa Valley.
He leaves in addition to his wife, Three sons and three daughters, namely James of the 11th line of Pakenham, John of the 9th line of Pakenham; and Wm T. on the homestead; Mrs Alex Barker of Ramsay; Miss Susie at home and Miss Lou of the department of national defence, Ottawa. Of his own immediate family there is one brother, Alex of Almonte.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the late residence of deceased in Blakeney, where service were conducted by Rev George F. Warren of the United Church, Blakeney, assisted by the former pastor, Rev William Merrilees. Interment was made in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were Jas Bingham, Wesley McCann, James Barker, James Timmins, S.J. McAdam and George Smithson.
Old-time comrades of the Fenian Raid, Alex Tait, and Thomas Needham of Pakenham were in attendance.
The numerous floral offerings and exceptionally large number of those who attended attested to the esteem in which Mr McGill was held.

Blakeney News
? Last Friday the many friends of Mrs Geo Graham, jr., were shocked to hear of her death, which took place about noon. The deceased had been suffering from an attack of bronchitis a couple of weeks before her death but her friends though she was slowly recovering until a few hours before the end came. Her maiden name was Mary Ellen McGill, and her death is the first break in the family of Mr and Mrs John McGill. She was a lady of sterling character and of a kind and loving disposition and was a member of the Presbyterian church here. Death at any age and under any circumstances is both sad and painful, but it is doubly so when, as in this case, the one cut off is in the vigour of life. She left a young daughter, 8 months old. The funeral which took place on Sunday, at 1.30 p.m. from her husband's residence to the eighth line cemetery, was one of the largest ever seen in this section, testifying to the universal esteem and to the deep sympathy felt for the bereaved husband and other friends. The religious services were conducted by the Rev F. Miller. The pall-bearers were Messrs: Wesley McCann, Samuel McAdam, John Hawes, Greville, Toshack, William Snedden, jr., and Alex Barker.

Mary married George Thomas Milton Graham in 1903. George was born on 21 Jan 1870 in Huntley Township, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; died on 11 Apr 1967 in Manotick, North Gower Township, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

?b?H. Lorne McGill

?/b?Passes Suddenly
Was Engaged Installing A Refrigeration Plant When Fatally Stricken. Many friends and acquaintances of Mr H. Lorne McGill were shocked on Wednesday to learn that he had died suddenly in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital Tuesday night, a few hours after he had been admitted suffering from a heart attack. He came from the Coast a few weeks ago and was engaged installing a refrigeration plant in the former West store property recently acquired by a Lanark County farmers' syndicate. Born In Ramsay, Mr McGill was 52 years of age and was born in Ramsay, a son of the late Thomas McGill and his wife Sarah Connery. While he was still in his teens the family moved to the Pacific Coast and he worked with his father in the carpentry and contracting business. Twenty-seven years ago he returned to this district and married Miss Mayme Stewart, daughter of Mrs Jno Stewart of Ramsay and the late Mr Stewart. For about ten years he made extensive installations of Delco lighting systems throughout the rural parts of Lanark County. He also built the business block on Mill Street, Almonte, at present occupied by the Superior Confectionary, barber shop and apartments. Later, he went to Hawkesbury where he spent several years as an employee of lumbering interests, after which he returned to the Coast.

Purchases Plant
When a number of Lanark County farmers decided to get together and establish a refrigeration plant in this section some months ago, arrangement were made to secure the Wesley West store property. They got in touch with Mr McGill, in British Columbia, and asked him to look up suitable refrigeration equipment and undertake the work of bringing it here and installing it. This he did, buying a plant from the Hudson Bay Company at Calgary. The machinery arrived some weeks ago and Mr McGill began the work of installation. It was while engaged in these activities that he was fatally stricken with a heart ailment from which he had been suffering for some time.

Sons In Armed Services
He leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, the former Miss Mayme Stewart at Vancouver, B.C.; two sons, Stewart of the R.C.A.F., Calgary and Hugh of Halifax, N.S. now at sea with the Royal Canadian Navy. The funeral was held this afternoon from the Comba Funeral Home to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev A.J. Fowlie of the Almonte Presbyterian Church, officiating. The pallbearers were his brother-in-law, Mr Duncan Stewart of Appleton, and five cousins, Messrs John McGill, Thomas McGill, John Syme, Peter Syme and Albert Syme.

Mrs Edward James
Almonte lost one of its highly regarded citizens in the death on Wednesday, March 5th, of Mrs Edward James. About a week ago Mrs James contracted influenza and on Tuesday when her condition became alarming she was removed to the R.M. Hospital where she passed away the following morning. Deceased, whose maiden name was Jessie Jane Syme, was born 57 years ago, the eldest daughter of the late Peter T. Syme and his wife, Sarah McGill, of Ramsay. Thirty-five years ago she married Edward James of Almonte, who survives. Also left to mourn are three brothers and two sisters, namely, John of Almonte; -652- Catherine, Mrs Hugh McMillan, Ramsay; Peter of Bennies' Corners; Albert of Carleton Place and Violet, Mrs Archie Mick of Jackson, Mich. The loss of Mrs James is one which will be keenly felt in this community. Possessed of a kindly disposition she was beloved by all. She was a member of Bethany United Church and took part in all its activities. She was a member of the choir, taught in the Sunday School, was a life member of the Women's Missionary Society and leader of Circle No 5 of the Women's Auxiliary. Among the floral tributes were pieces from the choir of Bethany Church, Circle No 5 of Bethany W.A., the neighbours, W.M.S. of Bethany Church and the Auld Kirk Cemetery committee. The funeral will be held on Friday, March 7th, at 2 p.m. (D.S.T.) from the family residence Reserve Street, for service in Bethany United Church.

Funeral of Mrs Edward James
A last tribute of esteem and respect was paid to the memory of the late Mrs Edward James, Friday afternoon, March 7th, at her funeral which was held from the family residence on Reserve Street, to Bethany Church and the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The church was filled to capacity, many of those present being members of the congregation among whom she had served so faithfully in the various women's organizations. The pastor, Rev W.J. Scott, conducted the service, taking as his text the words: "Weep not; she is not dead." Because of the prominence of deceased in church work, Mr Scott, made a direct reference to some of her fine qualities. He told of her association with the various branches of the congregational organization and stressed the cheerfulness with which she devoted her time to these activities. There was nothing grudging about the way Mrs James performed the various tasks that she undertook. Her only regret seemed to be that she had not more time to place at the disposal of the church and its interests. Death came to Mrs James at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, after a brief illness. The pallbearers were Messrs O.L. James, Lorne James, Ross Barr and Arnold Metcalfe of Almonte, Clare Syme of Ramsay and Jas Crawford of Carleton Place. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved husband and the brothers and sisters of deceased.

Jessie married Thomas Edward James on 4 Mar 1905 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Thomas (son of Thomas Herbert James and Jane Rennie Deachman) was born on 10 Oct 1880 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 4 Mar 1956 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 6 Mar 1956 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The sudden death of Mr John Syme Friday evening following a severe heart attack was a great shock to people of Almonte and District. For 16 years he acted as waterworks superintendent and town foreman. He will be hard man to replace in these positions where he served conscientiously and efficiently.

He was a hard worker having charge of many town activities such as street work, excavation for new waterworks mains, the condition of the pumps at the wells which he had to visit every night and even the job of weed inspector was wished on him. In 1921 he married Hilda Dorothy Webb of Vernon, British Columbia where they lived for a short time before coming to Almonte. He leaves to mourn his loss besides his wife, three sons, namely, Ronald, Barry and Edgar also two brothers, Albert of Carleton Place and Peter of Ramsay; also two sisters, Mrs H. McMillan of Almonte, and Mrs Archie Mick of Michigan, U.S.A. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the family home of George Street to the Auld Kirk cemetery. The Rev T.

Death of Peter T. Syme Removes Another Popular Ramsay Farmer
The funeral of the late Peter T. Syme held from the family home, 7th Concession of Ramsay on Friday afternoon, June 6th, was one of the largest ever seen in this part of Lanark County. Mr Syme was in his 63rd year and died suddenly of a heart attack on the morning of Wednesday, June 4th. Outside the immediate family circle, few if any knew that Mr Syme had been under the shadow of an ominous heart condition for some time. He maintained the same cheerful attitude towards his many friends and kept whatever worries he had to himself. He was born on the Syme homestead, 10th Line of Ramsay, a son of the late Peter T. Syme and his wife, Sarah McGill. He attended the 10th Line School and later was a student for a time at the local High School. In Oct., 1911, he married Mabel G. Snedden, a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs David Snedden and for four years he ran the Snedden farm on a partnership basis with his father-in-law. In 1916, Mr Snedden died and the farm was for sale. Mr Syme did not feel like purchasing at that time and he moved to Brockville where he was employed in the Briscoe Motor Car Plant and later he made munitions for the first World War. After spending some 17 months in these industrial pursuits, Mr Syme and his family moved back to this section and he purchased the Anderson homestead on the 7th Concession of Ramsay. He continued to farm there until the time of his death. During the last 15 years, his son, Clare, was in partnership with his father in running the farm. Mr Syme leaves his wife and a family of two, a son and a daughter ? Clare T. on the homestead and Helen Myrtle (Mrs Thomas J. Nugent) of Braeside. There are, also, two sisters: Katherine (Mrs Hugh McMillan) of Almonte and Violet (Mrs Archie Mick) of Jackson, Mich. A brother, John, and sister, Jessie (Mrs Ed James) of the Almonte, predeceased him some years ago. The funeral was held on Friday afternoon for the family home with Rev Wm Sunter of the Pakenham and Blakeney charges conducted the services at the house and the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs Jas Snedden, Jack Snedden, James Steele of Ramsay; John Lindsay of Almonte; George Noonan of Pakenham and James Miller of Carleton Place. The sudden death of Mr Syme following so closely on that of another popular Ramsay farmer who resided in the same neighbourhood was a great shock to people in this part of Lanark County. The late Mr Syme (Pete to his host of friends) was a popular man. He was fond of all kinds of sports, especially hockey, baseball and softball. He played baseball for years with teams at Blakeney and was always a supporter of hockey in Almonte, following the teams to other points in the Ottawa Valley whenever he could manage it. He never held public offices, and was a member of the Blakeney United congregation. He was a very cheerful chap a good neighbour and friend, one of those whose loss in a community will be felt for a long time. There were over 40 floral offerings among which were the following pieces from organizations and business concerns: Ramsay Women's Institute; Peterson's Softball Club, The Snow Club, Mississippi Motors and Staff, Carleton Place; Hotel Almonte and Staff, Teachers and Pupils, Bennies' Corners School, Bennie's Corners Softball Team, Almonte Flour Mill, Cedar Hill Hunt Club, Long Lake Hunt Club, The Blakeney Ladies' Aid, Employees of Renfrew Woollen Mill, Carleton Place
