The people of Almonte and the surrounding country were greatly shocked on Monday morning last to learn that Mr James Neilson, one of Ramsay's most respected farmers had died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart. Mr Neilson was in his usual health till Christmas Day. On that day, after going home from church, he was taken slightly ill, but recovered to a great extent, and nothing serious was feared, During the week following Mr Neilson did not feel quite well, but on the morning on which he died he ate a hearty breakfast and felt better than he had done for some days. Between ten and eleven o'clock he felt a sharp pain in the region of the heart, and died inside of two or three minutes. The late Mr Neilson was a man of sterling character, and enjoyed the esteem of the whole community. He was an elder in St. Andrew's church, and was an exemplary Christian all his life, and his family have the consolation of knowing that the dread summons, though it came suddenly did not find him unprepared. Mr Neilson was a thrifty and progressive farmer. He was a strong Liberal in politics, a man of good natural abilities, and well informed, but was of too quiet and retiring a disposition to ever accept any public position. He was born in Paisley, Scotland, May 15th, 1820. He came to Canada in 1821 with his father, the late John Neilson, who settled on the 12th line of Ramsay immediately after coming to this country. The deceased lived for 52 years on the old homestead and the balance of his life on the farm on which he died, and which he purchased several years ago from Mr Robert Bryson, of Almonte. In 1845 Mr Neilson was married to Miss Marion McFarlane, who survives him. Mr and Mrs Neilson had nine children, and all but one are still living, vis: Mrs David Fargie (Marion), of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs (Rev) J. Wilkie (Agnes), of Indore, Central India; Matthew, C.E., of Calgary; William G., of Beaver, B.C.; and John, Sarah, Mary and Jessie, who are living on the homestead. We tender our deepest sympathy to the widow and family who have been so suddenly bereaved. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon to St. Andrew's church here, thence to the cemetery, and was very largely attended. Contributor: Gary J Byron (49329383) •
