John Gilmour
One of Almonte's oldest citizens died on Monday when Mr John Gilmour passed away at the age of 83 years. Deceased was born in Ramsay in the early years of the settlement of the township, and with his four brothers and one sister bore their share of the pioneer work. When grown to manhood he married Jane Lindsay, a sister of Mr Gavin Lindsay, who was for some years a resident of Almonte, and to them three children were born, one son Allan, who now lives near Bennie's Corners, and Mrs Allan Naismith and Maggie, both of whom are dead. Mrs Gilmour died about eight or nine years ago. The brothers of deceased were Messrs. William, James, Hugh, Gilmour, and the sister, Mrs Wm Slater, all of whom are now dead but Hugh, who resides in the Cobden neighbourhood. The late Mr Gilmour was a strong, hardy man, and did the most of the work necessary in his large vegetable garden in New England, and did it well, which was a wonderful thing for a man of his years. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, his brother Mr Hugh Gilmour, being among the friends present
