Mr Naismith was born on the homestead, Ninth Line of Ramsay, in sight of Almonte, a son of the late Peter Naismith and his wife, Catherine Gilmour. A short time after his father's death, he acquired the farm which is a very good one and which he continued to improve in every day during his all too short lifetime. Thirty-two years ago he married Olive May Paul who survives together with two sons and two daughters, namely, Robert of Ramsay, William at home; Mrs Wm Toop (Elsie) of Ottawa and Mrs William Endersby (Betty) of Toronto. In his own immediate family there are eight – James of Vermillion, Alberta; Welland of Esparato, Calf.; John of Calgary; Miss Margaret at home. Deceased – Peter, Lawrence (Tobe) Jessie (Mrs Wm Steele) and Jean. Mr Naismith's death came as a great shock and sorrow to a wide circle of friends. Whether he felt well during the winter no one knows outside of his immediate family because he wasn't a complainer. He was the jolly, jaunty type of man whom everyone likes to meet, especially those who felt down a little themselves. He was always cheerful, well informed and a good conversationalist. He knew his business as a dairy farmer, specializing in Ayshires, and it was a pleasure to hear him talk on the subject of agriculture in which he was most interested. Some years ago, in addition to running his farm with which the two boys were associated, "Ab" decided to take on the district agency for the Massey-Harris Co. His warehouse was next the Gazette office and the staff of this newspaper never had a better of more congenial neighbour. He was eminently successful in his work as an agent but his heart was in the farm. he had it in mind to turn the agency over the elder boy an when he declared he would rather farm Albert gave up the sales business with no regret at all. He took little active interest in public or semi public affairs. His heart was at home because he was a great family man. He loved to talk with the boys and girls of the immediate circle and he welcomed the friends who passed the gate and traversed the one lane up to his home. He was a director of North Lanark Agricultural Society for a few years but outside of that he attended strictly to his own affairs. He was Conservative in politics. The funeral of the late Mr Naismith, held last Sunday afternoon was one of the largest ever seen in Lanark County. When the head of the cortege reached the turn to the Auld Kirk Cemetery, at MacDonald's service station, the tail of the sad procession was still coming out his gate about two miles distant. Services were conducted at the home and graveside by Rev H.C. Wolfraim, pastor of the Almonte United Church. Pallbearers were Robt Toshack, Jas Steele, Peter Syme, Melville Paul, Clifford Rivington and Charles Black, the latter from Carleton Place. As might be expected, there was a profusion of floral offerings from organizations and individuals. It is no exaggeration to say that the death of Albert Naismith at a comparatively early age is one of those sad things that mortals have to contend with in this strange life. He was full of energy, cheerfulness and good-fellowship and had attained a position in his career where he could sit back and rest on the oars while the boys carried on. One of them was on a farm on his own a short distance away and the other was at home. But this rest after toll was not to be. Mr Naismith will be sorely missed by all who knew him. There were many at the funeral from adjacent towns and Ottawa, and Mr and Mrs Sam McKee and son, Don Don McKee and Mrs Porterfield from Toronto.
