Orangeville Sun, June 3, 1909 - Mono Mills - Late Thomas Rawn
Much regret was expressed for the late Thomas Rawn of Albion when it became known that he had passed away. His demise was reported in the last issue of THE SUN, but we give a few more particulars. Deceased had only been ill a week or so prior to his death and was able to visit Orangeville not more than three or four weeks ago. The late Mr. Rawn was 72 years of age and was born and spent his lifetime on the farm where his death occurred. Physically he was a strong, vigorous man well able to stand the toil and privations which were the common lot of the early settlers. He was an excellent neighbor and enjoyed the respect and good will of the community in which he spent his life.
He was a widower, his wife (Elizabeth Duke, a sister of the late William Duke, of Mono) having passed away about six years ago. The following sons and daughters survive: - John Rawn, Chinguacousy; Wilson Rawn, Adjala; Mrs. Geo. Atkinson, Albion; William T. Rawn, Caledon; Mrs. Albert Bible, Albion; James S. Rawn, Mono; George M. and Miss Rebecca, on the homestead. John Rawn, Elba and Frederick Rawn, Sheldon, are brothers. There are also two sisters living, namely, Mrs. Thos. Penelton, Relessey, and Mrs. Margaret Mason, Ballycroy.
The late Mr. Rawn was a Methodist, a staunch Conservative and an enthusiastic Orangeman. He enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest member of L.O.L., 192, Mono Mills, and was also a charter member of Mono Mills Preceptory of the Black Knights of Ireland.
The funeral, which was held on Sunday afternoon to Snell's Church Cemetery, was one of the largest witnessed in the neighborhood for years. There were over 125 vehicles in the long procession that followed the remains to their final resting place. The services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev. Geo. Burry, pastor of Mono Mills Methodist Church. Members of the Orange Order and of Mono Mills, Palgrave and Orangeville Black Preceptories were present in large numbers and the impressive burial rituals of the two Societies were read over the open grave. The Orange service was conducted by W. Bro. James McCutcheon and Bro. (Rev.) Geo. Burry, W. M. and Chaplain respectively of Mono Mills Lodge. The service in the Black was read by Sir Knight Thos. McCandless, W. Preceptor, and Sir Knight Alex. McElwain, of Caledon East Chaplain. The pallbearers, all of whom were members of one of other of the two societies, were Messrs. Robt. McCutcheon, Alex. McElwain, S. L. Island, Geo. Holmes, Sam Cobean and David Totten.
