Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1816, deceased lived in that city until he was 15 years old, then came to Canada with his father, and the family settled in Renfrew county. Mr Naismith was the last of his generation, out of a family of seven. When a young man he purchased the farm on the 7th line Ramsay, now owned by Mr Peter Cochrane, and live there till about twenty years ago, when he moved into Almonte. He was a highly successful farmer, with more than a local reputation as a stockbreeder, Durham cattle and Leicester sheep being his specialties. For some years he was in the milling business with Mr John Merilees, under the firm name of Naismith & Merilees. About the year 1889 he bought a raisin plantation in California, and in 1890 moved to that State where he invested his all, but his investments did not bring results and about seven years ago he returned to Almonte to end his days. In his early manhood he married a Miss Forest, who died a year later, and some years later took as his life partner Mary Paul, of Ramsay, who died in California in 1892. A year or two prior to her death the couple celebrated their golden wedding. They had no family. Mr Naismith was of an unusually robust constitution, and of late had been in better health than usual; but it is thought that over-exertion last week brought on the trouble which caused his death. On the last night of the fair he took to bed and never left it. Deceased was a Presbyterian in religion and a Liberal in politics and a genial old citizen, well esteemed. His funeral too place this (Thursday) afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, many old friends attending to pay the last tribute. The religious services were conducted by the pastor of St John's congregation of which deceased was a member.
