Naismith Dies in Ramsay Aged Lady Had Only Been Ailing for the Last Two Months Mrs Peter Naismith died at her home on the ninth line of Ramsay, on Sunday morning, She was 81 years of age, and had been in poor health for the past two months. Mrs Naismith, whose maiden name was Catherine Gilmour, belonged to a pioneer family of Ramsay Township. She was a daughter of the late William Gilmour and his wife, Helen Burns, settlers from Scotland, who made their home on a farm on the outskirts of Almonte. Sixty years ago she was married to Mr Peter Naismith and their wedded life was an ideal one. He predeceased her in 1914. On both sides of the house they were widely connected. They had a family of eleven children all of whom reached maturity. They are: Peter and Albert on the homestead in Ramsay; John of Calgary; James of Vermilion, Alta; Welland, of Exparto, Calif; William, of Denver, Col; Lawrence, of Almonte, and Maggie on the homestead. Robert, who resided at Calgary, served in the Great War and was killed overseas. Jennie died in 1914 and Jessie, Mrs Wm Steele, in 1917. Mrs Naismith was a member of the Auld Kirk on the eighth line of Ramsay, as a girl and continued as a member of St Andrew's, now Bethany United Church until her death. She was of the finest type of the pioneer stock, always ready, despite her busy home life, to render help to neighbours and friends when needed. She was one of the best known ladies in the district, and this was evidenced by the very large assembly of mourners at her funeral on Tuesday when she was laid to rest in the Auld Kirk Cemetery beside the remains of her husband. Rev J.R. MacCrimmon conducted the service and the pallbearers were old neighbours: Messrs Andrew Cochran, Wm Paul, Wm Phillips, Greville Toshack, Alex Barker and Jack McGill. Besides her children and grandchildren she leaves to mourn her loss two brothers, Messrs William and Robert Gilmour of Ramsay. There was an impressive number of beautiful floral tributes.
