Cannon passed from earthly scenes, in the 77th year of his age. For the past fifteen years he had been paralyzed, and had but little use of his limbs of the power of speech; but heart failure, or another slight shock of paralysis, is supposed to have been the immediate cause of death. Deceased was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in October, 1816. He was the eldest son of the late Dr. Cannon (who practiced his profession in these parts many years ago) and a brother to Mr Gilbert Cannon, Almonte. They came to Canada in 1835. The subject of this sketch married Miss Carswell, from Glasgow, four years after arriving in Canada; the latter died in February, 1877. They had no children. Mr Cannon entered business with the late John A. Gemmill in Carleton Place, and remained there some years. He went to Lapasse in 1850, and afterward to Beachburg, where he was clerk of the division court for fifteen or sixteen years – until he was paralyzed, in 1878. He was a most useful citizen, being a conveyancer, and doing a great deal of business that is now done by lawyers. He was a very intelligent man, and was held in high esteem by those who knew him for his excellent qualities of head and heart. During the past fifteen years he resided with Mrs Gemmill here, and was tenderly cared for. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and was largely attended. The remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery. Contributor: Gary J Byron links to parents from Gary Byron
