The Late Mrs Ann McFarlane
Died at her late residence, in the Springfield section of town, on the morning of the 1st, inst., Ann McFarlane, wife of our respected townsman, Mr Jas McFarlane, in the 60th year of her age. After a lingering illness of some months, consequent upon a protracted attack of chronic diarrhoea, finally resulting in stomach and intestinal catarrh, at times quite painful and continuously debilitating, until at length her exhausted physical constitution succumbed to the prostration, when her spirit returned to God who gave it. Deceased bore her trouble with a quiet Christian resignation, emanating from her hope and implicit trust in the resurrection to a blessed state of immortality, and that solely in and through the merits and atoning sacrifice of the Crucified One. She was throughout her life what might not inaptly be styled a fair specimen of a plain Scotch woman, at no time aspiring to be known in society, never being desirous of intruding into the company of those she considered to be above her station and walk in life, nevertheless, sensitive withal, yet always cultivating and evincing the same kindly disposition to her circle of friends and acquaintances, of a congenial temperament as to simplicity of manner and a honest Christian walk and conversation. The deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Canada with her parents, the late George and Helen McFarlane, of Springfield Farm, and her brother, D. McFarlane (still resident on the farm), in the year 1841, being then in her eleventh year, and, although then so young, she retained throughout her life a lively and loving retrospect of her dear "Auld Scotia" with it mountains and glens. She leaves in her family circle her husband and two sons, Malcolm and Albert G., and one daughter, Florence J., to mourn her loss to them as a dutiful wife, and a very kindly affectionate mother. We feel sure that many kind friends in this locality sympathize with them in their present bereavement. – COM.
The GAZETTE joins a host of sympathising friends in tendering to the bereaved husband and friends its sincere sympathy for the sad loss they have sustained. Mrs McFarlane had been known to almost everyone in Almonte as a genuine Christian, a loving wife and a devoted and anxious mother. The funeral on Monday last was largely attended. The Rev Mr Grant, of St Andrew's church, conducted the services in the house and at the grave, and the pall-bearers were Messrs, R. Cameron, Jas Snedden, N. Stevenson, Jas Neilson, Jas Robertson and John Paul.
