Mrs J.W. Neilson
In spite of the conditions of the roads on Saturday practically every family in this district was represented at the funeral of the late Mr John W. Neilson. We extend deepest sympathy to Mrs Alec Turner and to the Neilson family in the passing of Mrs Neilson, who was laid to rest in the Auld Kirk Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, after many years of suffering. Mrs Neilson was the daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Wm Simpson and had spent most of her married life on the 12th and 11th lines of Ramsay, till she and Mr Neilson moved to Almonte 10 years ago. All her family were born in the home on the 12th line and two daughters died there, Elsie in infancy and Laura, a beautiful girl of 19 years. Mr Neilson died about five years ago. She leaves to mourn her loss five sons, four of whom were with her at her death. Gordon of Winnipeg, was home recently but was unable to be present at the funeral. George had been helping to care for her since early fall, William H. and John B. of Ramsay and McFarlane of Toronto. There are also six sisters and three brothers bereaved. The sisters, Annie, Mrs Alec Scott, Margaret, Mrs Wm Scott, both of the Soo; Elizabeth, Mrs John Metcalfe of Ramsay; Mrs Marion Dodds of the West, and Misses Belle and Martha of Almonte. Three brothers, William, John and Herbert are also in Ramsay. One brother Charles Simpson died in Arnprior last year. Mrs Neilson was very highly esteemed by her neighbours and friends, and had a wonderful devotion for her home and family. She was Presbyterian in religion. Her minister Rev Fowlie had charge of the funeral, assisted by Rev Aird of the Baptist Church. The floral offerings were beautiful. A pillow from the family; Broken Circle from the sisters, Misses Belle and Martha and Mr Herbert Simpson; a spray from the grandchildren; spray from Mr and Mrs Alec Scott, Soo; and a spray from Mr and Mrs Wm Scott, Soo; a beautiful floral basket from Mr and Mrs Geo Comba; a wreath from Miss Annie Neilson, Appleton; a spray from Mrs Alec Turner, and a spray from Miss Ida A.
