It was known for some time back the Mr. Gilbert Cannon was near the end of life's pilgrimage, yet when the announcement of his death was made on Monday last it was received with deep regret that one who was for so long a time prominent Almonter had gone the way of all flesh. A few months ago he went to Pembroke to live with his sister, Mrs A. Irving, and the heart affection from which he suffered brought his life to a close on Sunday at noon. He had gone three months beyond the allotted span of threescore-andten. The late Mr Cannon was born in Glasgow, Scotland, came to this part in 1835 – sixty-four years ago – and has been actively identified with the growth of Almonte and Ramsay nearly all those years. In his earlier years he was head clerk and book-keeper in the store of his brother-in-law Mr Thos. Leckie, who had a store at Leckie's Corners. and after the place was called. Later on Mr Cannon got interested in the woolen manufacturing and flouring industries, and for the last quarter-of-a-century or more was actively connected with some of our factories. He was one of the stockholders in the first paper started in Almonte – the Examiner. That was in 1858. Mr Cannon was highly esteemed by a host of friends, and those with whom he came in business contact respected him as a man who was upright, honest and true in his dealings. He was a warm Conservative, and took a great interest in political matters. He was well educated, and might creditably have filled many public positions but for his exceedingly sensitive nature. Mr Cannon was connected with the old Free Kirk on the Eighth Line of Ramsay – almost the last link between the old-time friends who held aloft the banner of the blue at the Disruption contest. Deceased mother, widow of the late Dr. Cannon, gave her barn for those to worship in who were locked out of the old stone church, and ever had an open house ready to receive the homeless Free Kirk clergymen on their journeys. Gilbert Cannon had a kind and genial manner and a cherry greeting for his friends at all times. The body was brought to Almonte by train on Wednesday. At the station many of our citizens took a last look at the familiar features prior to their being consigned to the tomb in the eighth line cemetery.
