This was seven years after the first settler appeared. At this time the country was in a very primitive state, the road to Perth being to follow the limestone ridge from Ramsay, likewise to Brockville. The road was blazed through the woods on the trees. When they had to get some necessaries of life their mode of travel was on foot. Bills in those days were paid more in exchange than in cash as at present. In those days the settlers could tell on many trilling experiences with the wolves, which were plentiful at the time. Though educational advantages were not so good as ours the late Wm Paterson acquired a good education by improving his evenings. The first school he attended was held in the log barn still standing on the farm on which he lived, with sparse advantages compared with the present day. He was married in Ramsay on the 31st day of December, 1857, to Margaret Paterson. Mrs Paterson predeceased her husband a little over two years, after living to celebrate their sixty-fifth anniversary. This was a hard blow to him. Mr Paterson was for many years engaged in Sunday School work and die not give up till almost his eighty-fifth year, when his strength failed him. He was the instrument in God's hand of helping many to a saving knowledge of Christ. The funeral on November 9th was large, and testified to the good feeling that prevailed toward one who had been a life-long member. The pallbearers were six elders from the congregation in which he had for many years officiated in that capacity. The family that mourns his loss are George and William at home, Robert M., at Luseland, Sask., Dr. T. R. in Almonte, and Dr. John R., at Bow Island, Alberta.
