Steele Dies Suddenly Residents of Almonte and the surrounding farming community were saddened to learn of the sudden passing of James Harold Steele of the 8th line of Ramsay, on the morning of Friday, May 24th. Mr. Steele had gone to the mailbox about 10 a.m., when he was apparently stricken with a heart attack . He was in his 78th year. Mr. Steele was born on the 8th line of Ramsay, on April 26, 1897, a son of the late John Steele and his wife, Amy Coulter. Raised on one of Ramsay's pioneer farms in a family of brothers and sisters who chose a wide variety of careers, Jimmie, as he was affectionately known in his community, modestly referred to himself as a "tiller of the soil." It was his love of the land, his great knowledge of agricultural production and his ability to recognize and adapt to modern tillage methods, new strains and varieties of crops that enabled him to establish a reputation of being an outstanding agriculturist. Jimmie in his own quiet way was always prepared to share his experience, his knowledge and his energies with his friends and neighbours and help them in this way to share the success he realized in his own chosen career. In fraternal circle he was a member of Mississippi Lodge No. 147, A.F. and AM., Almonte, and was a Toronto Shriner. A Masonic service was held Saturday evening at 7.30 p.m. at the funeral home. He was married on September 19, 1934, Almonte, to the former Elsie Barker, who survives together with two sons, John of Almonte and Gerald, Montreal, and a daughter, Jessie (Mrs. Gordon Henderson) of Ottawa. Also surviving are two brothers, Art of Ottawa and Ernest of Toronto and two sisters, Beth (Mrs. Hal Kirkland) of Almonte, and Louise of Cobourg. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon, May 26th, at 2 o'clock from the Comba Funeral Home, 127 Church street, Almonte, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery for burial. Rev. A. C. Dodds of Pakenham, conducted the services. The pallbearers were Jack Snedden, Stewart Manary, Ken Duncan, Robert Cochran, Jim Cochran and Bob Naismith.
