On January 17th, 1956, at the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, Almonte, Ontario, there entered into rest, after an illness of seven weeks, Agnes Jane Caldwell, of Tatlock, widow of James H. Rintoul.

Mrs. Rintoul was born near Watson's Corners in Dalhousie Township, October 24th, 1876 the daughter of John Caldwell and Ellen McIlraith. As a young woman she taught school. In 1901 she married James H. Rintoul of Darling Township and came to live there. Her husband died in June, 1946. To them were born five children: Helen M. who died in 1931; William H. who died in 1909; Annie A. (Mrs. Ben E. James) of Almonte; John C. of Tatlock and David A. on the homestead at Tatlock. There are nine grandchildren: Donna, Brian and Doreen, children of Dave; John Claire and Franklin, children of John; Benjamin, William and Jane, children of Annie (James) and one great granddaughter, Jennifer James of Bowmanville.

Mrs. Rintoul was of Irish-Scottish descent and was a member of the Presbyterian Church and in later years the United Church, St. Peter's at Tatlock. Her kindly manner, generous nature and tolerant views endeared her to a wide community of many friends who today mourn her passing. The faith in God which she professed openly by expression and in her living will be remembered down the years by those who follow. Her body rested at her late home at Tatlock until Thursday, January 19th. A short private service was held at the home and at 1 p.m. the funeral procession proceeded to St. Paul's United Church, Middleville for service there at 2 p.m. Rev. M.M.

James and four nephews, John Lashley, Garfield Caldwell, Gordon Caldwell and Lee Caldwell. The floral tributes were carried by neighbours. Among them were a pillow from the family; flowers from St. Peter's Church, Darling and St. Paul's Evening Guild, Almonte. Mrs. Ben James, her daughter, resides on Queen Street and Mr. John D. Caldwell Teskey Street, is a nephew.
