1940 Obit. JAMES DEZELL
Mr. James Dezell, one of Lanark county’s oldest and best known residents, passed quietly away at his home on the second line of Ramsay on Wednesday of last week in his 91st year. Mr. Dezell met with a serious accident in May of this year when he fell and broke one of his hips. For four weeks he was confined to bed at his home and then he was removed to the Rosamond Memorial Hospital , Almonte, where he remained for four weeks, returning to his home on Monday previous to his passing. Deceased was born in Ramsay and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Dezell and with the exception a short time spent in Western Ontario he lived all his life in Ramsay. Mr. Dezell was twice married, his first wife, Sarah Jane Cook, passed away in 1887. To the union was born Oliver who is deceased, James and John, who survive. In 1891 he was married to Miss Sarah Warren, who predeceased him in 1922. To the union were born four sons and one daughter, namely, William and Oliver, who survive. and Howard, George and Pearl, who died a number of years ago. In addition to his four sons he is survived by one sister, Mrs. Wm. Crampton of Portage la Prairie, Man., and one brother, Mr. Wm. Dezell of McCreary. Mr. Dezell followed the occupation of farming all his life until a number of years ago when his advanced years forced him to retire from active work. He had drunk deep of the happiness and contentment that springs from a close contact nature through toil and from a consciousness that he was doing to best of his ability the daily task that the God of Nature brought to him. For a number of years deceased served as a trustee of S.S. # 1. Though he was a quiet man who did not seek public office, he was a force of good in the community where he lived so long.

W.A. Mc Cracken, Of Gananoque, assisted by Rev. John Cooke, of Ottawa, and Rev. A. Moors, of the Holiness Movement church, Carleton Place, of which deceased was a member.
