Friday October 25, The Almonte Gazette page 5 A Pioneer's Death But few of the hardy pioneers remain who cleared the forest and paved the way for the fine farms and comfortable homes that now dot the surface of Lanark County, and the number has been lessened by the death last Sunday, at his home in Upper Pakenham, of Mr. Alexander Lindsay, who had attained the patriarchal age of 91 years. He was a strong man all his life, and had the use of all his faculties to the last. A day or two previous to his death he was able to split wood and do some other work around his house. Saturday morning he took ill, but rallied until early the following morning, when another attack proved fatal. The late Mr. Lindsay was born in Scotland in 1804; came to Canada with the early settlers in 1821 – seventy-fours years ago; married in 1830 (Mrs Lindsay died January 30, 1892, aged 85); and for over sixty years resided continuously on the farm on which he died, enjoying the esteem of his friends and neighbours. His children are Mrs Alex Duncan of Wyoming, Ont., William, in Australia; James D., of Kars, Carleton County; Misses Mary and Lizzie, of Fargo, Dakota; Mrs James Marshall, of Oil Springs, Ont., Miss Susan and Mr. Alexander Lindsay, on the homestead. Most of the above were home to the funeral which took place on Wednesday afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery. A very large number turned out to pay the final mark of respect to one who had his part in struggles incident to pioneering life in this section, and who for almost three-quarters-of-a-century was identified with the interest of the neighbourhood in which he lived. Rev J.M. McLean conducted the religious exercises.
