Mr William Paul
There passed away at his home on the seventh line of Ramsay last Monday morning Mr William Paul. one of the township's best known and most highly respected residents. Born on the homestead in July 1858, the only son of the late William Paul and Jane Simpson, he spent all of his life on the farm on which he died. Being ill only a few days his death came as a decided shock to his many friends and relatives. In February, 1893, William Paul was married in Ramsay, to Christine Porterfield, who predeceased him 21 years ago. Deceased was of a quiet, retiring disposition, a trusted friend and neighbour. In religion he was formerly a Presbyterian, having been a member of St John's Church prior to union. He was a member of Bethany United church in Almonte, at the time of his death. Left to mourn his passing are one son William Melville Paul on the homestead; (Olive), Mrs Albert Naismith, Ramsay, and (Edna) Mrs Edward Rose, Pakenham; also one sister Miss Agnes Paul of Lanark, and eight grandchildren. Two sisters are deceased (Kate), Mrs John Millions of Waskada, Manitoba; and Miss Margaret Paul of Ramsay. The funeral which was held Tuesday afternoon to the Auld Kirk Cemetery was largely attended. Services were conducted by Rev C.D. McLellan assisted by Rev J.M. Rutherford. Pallbearers were: Joseph Paul, Carleton Place; William Paul of Stittsville; John Yuill of Rosetown, Sask.; M.W. Wallace, William Paul and John McArton of Ramsay. Among the floral tributes were a wreath from the family; sprays from the grandchildren, a spray from the neighbours; spray from the U.F.W.O. and a spray from Miss Ruby Wilson and pupils of S.S. 14 of which school section deceased was for many years a trustee.
