  • Notes 
    • Death Removes Popular Citizen
      Adam Johnson Was One Of Best Known Men In Almonte District
      Death claimed one of the best known men in this district, Wednesday, in the person of Adam Johnson, who passed away at his home on Queen Street, at the age of 80 years. Mr Johnson had been in failing health for some time owing to a heart ailment but his condition died not become acute until a few weeks ago. A native of Bruce County, the late Adam Johnson was born in 1865 a son of the late Mr and Mrs Robert Johnson, pioneer settlers in that part of Ontario. He was one of a family of four sisters and two brothers, all of whom predeceased him except James, who resides in Kincardine.
      Lumbered in Michigan
      At the age of eighteen years he went to Michigan where he was employed in the lumbering industry, a line of work which he continued to follow in the Algoma District after his return to Canada. He was married in 1895 to Mary C. Munro, daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Daniel Munro of Lanark Township. For five years after he was married he was proprietor of the Clifton House Hotel in Massey. He left the North Country in 1901 and took up land on the 11th concession of Ramsay for five years, moving to Almonte in 1906 where he had resided ever since. After removing to town Mr Johnson was agent for the Massey-Harris Machinery Company and handled real estate. He was always interested in community affairs, taking part in many public spirited movements. For many years he took an active part in the management of Almonte Fair serving as a director of the North lanark Agricultural Society and as its president for several terms. He was an honourary director at the time of his death.
      Staunch Conservative
      Other offices held by him were: member of the Almonte Public Utilities Commission for upwards of ten years; a member of the Auld Kirk Cemetery Committee and of Bethany United Church; a member of the county executive of the Progressive Conservative Party. A lifelong Conservative, Mr Johnson always could be counted on to take an active part during election campaigns. He was a good organizer and his services were valued accordingly. He was one of the delegates to the convention in Carleton Place which nominated Dr. W.G. Blair Sept 6th, 1944. That was the last of many such meetings that he was able to attend. On March 13th of this year Mr and Mrs Johnson celebrated their golden wedding.
      Didn't Look His Age.
      Adam, as he was known to a wide circle of friends was a cheerful man, whom it was a pleasure to meet. He held his age well and would have passed for 60 up to the time when his health began to fail. He understood conditions in the county and was popular with the farmers. He was a friend of the late Judge Scott of Lanark having known him when he practised law in Bruce County. Left to mourn a husband and father are the widow and three daughters, namely, (Gertrude), Mrs G.W. Dunlop; (Isobel) Mrs F.L. Fisher and Miss Margaret, all of Almonte. Dr, Willard E. Johnson, a promising young Montreal physician, died in 1936, which was a heavy blow to the family. The funeral will be held from the family residence, Friday afternoon, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The service will be at 2.30.
