Services were conducted by Rev. J.J. Lowe of Ashton, a former rector of the Anglican Church here. Six sons acted as pallbearers. Mr. Leishman was born in Almonte a son of the late Robert Leishman and his wife, Martha Hamilton. Some 41 years ago he was married to Margaret Cannon Mitchell of Edinburgh, Scotland, who survives in addition to six sons and two daughters, namely, Thomas Clarence of Sudbury; Archibald Saddington of Toronto, Robert Bliss, Allan Donaldson, Arnold Alexander and Borden Geddes, all at home and Mrs. Robert Ferguson (Eileen) and Mrs. Howard McNeely (Margaret) both of Carleton Place. There are also two sisters and a brother, Mrs. Elmer Moreau of Belleville; Mrs. Duncan Aitken of Almonte and Mr. Ernest Leishman of North Bay. Two sisters and a brother predeceased him. They were Mrs. Chas. Kelly of Arnprior; Mrs. Chas. Stewart of Watertown, N.Y. and Robert of Kingston. Mr. Leishman was one of the most familiar and, popular figures in Almonte, not only because of his genial qualities but because his occupation brought him in constant contact with the townspeople. He was for upwards of 25 years the teamster for the Rosamond Woolen Company, Limited. In his lifetime he made innumerable trips between the C. P. R. freight sheds and the factory where he was employed. He followed practically the same route and Mr. Leishman and his team seemed to be an institution on Mill Street. He was a great lover of horses, one of a fading generation of men growing all too few in this motorized age. In religion Mr. Leishman was an Anglican and in politics a staunch Conservative. Floral offerings from various departments of the Rosamond Woolen Company testified to the high esteem in which Mr. Leishman was held by his employers and fellow employees.
