One of Almonte’s finest old citizens passed out of life on Tuesday morning last in the person of Mr. John Crossley, who had been in poor health for some time past. An intelligent, genial, courteous old man, known to nearly everyone in town, he will be missed. Deceased was born in Rochdale, England, 78 years ago. After his boyhood years he worked at the cotton business for a time in his native land. He crossed the Atlantic fifty-five years ago, and spent nearly twenty-five years (as boss weaver and superintendent for much of that time) in some of the big factories across the line. He came to Almonte in 1868, spent three years as boss weaver in No. 1 Mill, and on retiring was presented with a tangible evidence of the esteem of the weavers. He then spent few years in partnership with Messrs. Teskey Bros., Appleton, in the factory there. Later on he became postmaster and storekeeper at Bennie’s Corners, remaining there seven or eight years, when he again moved into Almonte, and spent the remaining years of his long life here as a weaver of carpets, etc. Fifty-two years ago, in Rochdale, England, Mr. Crossley was united in marriage with Mary Ann Wyld, who survives him, though we regret to say that Mrs. Crossley is quite ill at present, the shock of her husband’s death having , accentuated an illness that had confined her to bed for a week or more. Nine children were born to them, of whom but two survive - John W., of this town, at whose home deceased passed away, and Joseph, of Watertown, N.Y. The late Mr. Crossley was a strong Anglican, a Conservative in politics, though ready to support a good man on either side of the political fence. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon, to St. Paul’s church, where Rev. Canon Low performed the burial service, thence to St. Paul’s cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for the widow, now an octogenarian, and apparently near the end of her earthly pilgrimage.
