Dick, a highly respected citizen of Almonte, who was well known throughout the Ottawa Valley, died at his home on Union Street at six o'clock Monday morning. He had not been in good health for about two years, and a year ago had a serious illness. he suffered last week from a recurrence of the same trouble, paralysis. He was 59 years of age. David John Dick was a son of the late John Dick, of Almonte and his wife, Mary Young. The former was a native of Bytown and the latter of Lanark Township. Their home was on Main street near the Wylie Mill. Except for a brief period when he was employed in a general store in the Gatineau Valley, he had lived all his life in Almonte. For some eight years he conducted a retail store in the Forgie Block and later in the premises now occupied by Taber & Co., and was very successful in business. He found the indoor work trying and he sold his business to enter the service of the Robertson Grocery Co., of Kingston and Smiths Falls, as travelling salesman. He retired from active duty two years ago. In his business life he won the high regard of those with whom he came into contact. Thirty-five years ago Mr Dick was married to Miss Margery Earle, daughter of the late Ross Earle and his wife, Margery Moncrieff, of Wakefield, Que. Their home on Union Street is a charming residence and has been noted for the beauty of the garden connected with it. He was an active church worker. Twenty-five years ago he was made an elder of St John's Presbyterian Church and when that congregation joined with St Andrew's he continued as an elder. For a time he was clerk of the session of Bethany United Church and had been its treasurer for many years until his death. At the time of the union he was treasurer of St John's congregation. He was appointed representative of Bethany United Church to the Presbytery of Renfrew in the spring of this year and was a faithful attendant at all meetings. He was an Oddfellow and a Forester. In his younger days Mr Dick was a good athlete, excelling in many sports, but he was known especially throughout the Ottawa Valley as a jumper. He took a keen interest in local athletics and was a warm favourite with the young men of the town. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow and one brother, James Dick, of Almonte, and one sister, Mrs Mary Arnott, of Port Arthur. The funeral which was very largely attended, took place on Wednesday from his late home to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev J.R. MacCrimmon conducted the service.
