Attended by a very large assemblage of relatives and friends, a fitting tribute of respect, the funeral of the late Allan C.

The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. The pallbearers were his three sons Harry, Morris and Roy, a nephew, L. Caldwell, of Brockville, and sons-in-law J . W. Bryan, Ottawa, and S. Turnbull, of New York. Born in Almonte 66 years ago, son of the late James Gilmour and his wife, Jessie Templeton, he had resided here all his life time.
