The deceased, one of Ramsay's oldest residents and earliest settlers was in her 92nd year and until prevented by failing health, was a devout member and regular attendant of Blakeney United Church. The funeral took place on Tuesday May 23rd, from her late residence, to Auld Kirk Cemetery. The religious services were conducted by Rev F.E. Rice of Blakeney, assisted by Rev G. Empey of Newboro, and Rev Geo Warren of Bishop's Mills, when fitting references were made to the ideal life which had come to a close. A favourite hymn of the deceased, "What a Friend We Have In Jesus" and "The Shepherd Psalm," were sung during the service. Mrs Geo Warren played the accompaniments. The pallbearers were Messrs John R. Reid, Wm Dunlop, Jack Munro, Wesley McCann, Southwood Haydon and James Timmins. Symbolic floral offerings bore the silent testimony to the love and esteem in which the deceased was held by a wide circle of friends. Because of her long extended life, the deceased looked cheerfully to the future, and happy reunion with those who have predeceased her, among whom are four daughters. She leaves to mourn her loss, two daughters, Mrs Alex Barker and Miss Lucy McGill of Ottawa; and three sons, Messrs James, Jack, and Thomas McGill, all of the vicinity. In her declining years, Mrs McGill was faithfully attended by all members of the family and truly she appreciated such care. Mrs McGill possessed heart and sympathetic view that made her an invaluable companion, not only to those within the home but to friends and neighbours alike. Her simplicity, cheerful outlook, and sound feminine judgement found every difficult obstacle of life removed when the right principles were applied. Herself brought under the trials that come from natural causes in this life, she bore all with courage and fortitude because she was strong in that quality of character which raises above pain and disappointment. During all those years of happy home life there was created and developed a wealth of love and affection that made the hour of separation by death all the more difficult for those who mourn her loss. She was honoured by all for her deep religious fervour, for her broad interest in all missionary endeavours regardless of creed or denomination, and particularly for her rare generous and unselfish nature. Many have been those she helped over the rugged paths of life. She will be missed, but will remain in the hearts of friends as long as faith shall last. Well and truly might it be said of Mrs McGill "Her life was an inspiration and her memory had become a benediction."
