He was in his 88th year and had been going about as usual up to a few days before his final illness. Mr Metcalfe was one of the best known residents in this part of Lanark County. He was born on the homestead, 8th line of Ramsay, a son of the late Hugh Metcalfe and his wife Jean McLean. He was the sixth child in a family of nine sons and three daughters of whom the only surviving member is Dr A.A. Metcalfe of Almonte. About 60 years ago he married Syrena Fumerton who predeceased him in July 1930. When he was about 18 years of age the late Mr Metcalfe shantied for Caldwells on the Black River under Larry Frost and later engaged in the sawmill business with the firm of Metcalfe Bros until 1886 when the partnership was dissolved. After that he followed the well drilling business and sank wells successfully all though this part of the country. At this time he made his headquarters in Almonte and served on the town council and the fire brigade. He was a Presbyterian until union when he became a member of the United Church of Canada. At the time of his death he was the oldest elder on the board of Bethany United Church. In politics he was a Conservative. In 1895 Mr Metcalfe bought the farm on the 9th line of Ramsay where he continued to reside until his death. His sudden passing will occasion widespread regret as he was a popular man who has made many friends during his long span of life. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon from his late residence at 1.30 (Standard Time), to Bethany United Church for service at 2 p.m. and interment will be made in the Auld Kirk Cemetery.
