Blake, a well-known citizen of Almonte, died on Saturday night in his 81st year. He had been in poor health for the last year but was seriously ill for only ten days. Mr Blake was born in North Augusta, Grenville County, – a son of the late Henry Blake and Ann Haley, and came to this town at the age of four. For 50 years he was employee of the Rosamond Woolen Co. Ltd, serving for nearly 35 years as boss warper. For five years he acted as town assessor retiring from that post in 1939 when failing health began to affect his activities. Fred Blake had a number of hobbies. He raised thoroughbred Airdale dogs and was a poultry fancier, serving often as judge at agricultural fairs, in the last mentioned class. He was a member of the town band for years and took an active part in its activities at the last Old Boys' Reunion held in Almonte. Mr Blake had many friends and could tell some interesting tale about old days in the town. He lived alone in his home almost to the last and in spite of increasing infirmities refused to go to the hospital as urged by his relatives and friends. At last he consented to go to the home of his granddaughter, Mrs R.A. Jamieson where death ensued Saturday evening. Mr Blake was twice married. His first wife, Loretta Grey of Almonte predeceased him 13 years ago. In 1937 he married Fannie Saunders of Smiths Falls who passed away in 1939. He leaves two daughters and one son, namely Mrs Elbert Millar (Effie) of Pakenham Township; Mrs John Clay (Laura) of Victoria, B.C. and Fred Jr. of Woodstock. There are also a grandson and granddaughter, Blake Millar, Pakenham, and Mrs R.A. Jamieson of Almonte. One son Harry predeceased him four years ago. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the home of his granddaughter Mrs R.A. Jamieson, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev H.L. Morrison of Trinity United Church, officiating.
