William Gordon
William Gordon, a well-known and much loved resident of Ramsay Township, passed away suddenly in Rosamond Memorial Hospital, Almonte, on Tuesday, July 17th. The late Mr Gordon farmed all his life in this community. In 1920 he married Carrie Manson, of Middleville who with a family of three survives: Margaret, at home; Earl, of Vancouver, B.C.; Ethel, Mrs Clifford Melanson, of Cedar Hill. Four sisters and two half-brothers also survive: Mrs Maggie Corregan, Spruce Lake, Sask; Mrs Minne Elliott, Sonningdale, Sask; Mrs Eva G. Rankin, Ottawa; Mrs Ada Traill, Smiths Falls; Reuben Giles, Blakeney; Robert Giles, Almonte. His elder brother, Findlay, predeceased him fourteen years ago. Service was conducted at his late residence on Saturday, July 20 by Mr Arthur Powley, Cornwall. Interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Beautiful floral tributes from close relatives testified to their love and esteem. A donation to the British and Foreign Bible Society was made in tribute by Reta Traill. Other gracious and practical gestures on the part of the neighbours and a large circle of friends were indicative of the respect in which Mr Gordon was held and carried a message of sympathy to the bereaved family. The pallbearers were: Messrs Earl and Frank Manson, Bert and Roy Evans, Tom Barr and Ernie Giles.
