    MR. RICHARD H. KINSMAN

    After suffering very much for the past three years, Mr. Richard H. Kinsman, one of Galt's most respected citizens, passed away on Friday evening last, at 10 o'clock. Deceased was born in Cornwall, England, in the year 1835 and came to Canada along with his parents and other members of the family, in 1847, settling for a year at Darlington, after which they moved to Galt. The first few years he was in Galt he worked along with his father at stone masoning, retiring from this business, about thirty-six years ago, when H. H. Date started the Edge Tool Works, (now owned by James Warnock & Co.) where he secured a position as polisher with that firm, which he held until sickness compelled him to give it up a little over a year ago. In 1856 he was married to Isabella Grant (a daughter of the late James Grant of Glenmorris) who survives him along with six children, three boys and three girls, Richard, James and Nicholas. Bella (Mrs. Keating), Minnie and Jessie, who all reside in town. Deceased was a very prominent member of the Galt Methodist Church and on Sunday and week day meetings was always found, when well, in his place. The Resolution of Condolence, which will be found in another column and the draping of his pew on Sunday, showed in what esteem he was held by the Methodist Church as a body. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, from his late residence, Beverly street, to Mount View Cemetery and was attended by a large concourse of friends, fellow-workmen and relatives of the deceased. The services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev. J. G. Scott his pastor and were very solemn and impressive.

    Notes:

    'The death of this lady in her 98th year, which occurred last week, removed one of the very oldest, most respected residents of our town, and brings back the very early days of our town. Mr. and Mrs. Kinsman came to Galt in the Fall of 1847 or early in 1848, and her husband, being a mason by trade, after a short time erected a small stone house on the side of the road which then ran along Mill Creek between where Beverly Street now is and the railroad track. There was no road then where the road now runs under the CPR track, but the road then used came out of the creek through the land now owned by Mr. Thorn. Alison. The home stood there alone for many years, perhaps stands there yet, but the late Mr. Shade laying out Beverly Street, and the railway being built and changing the course of the old road, side tracked it, and left the only way of reaching it from Beverly Street.'

    'Mrs. Kinsman was married in 1815, her husband dying in 1874, if we mistake not. Their family was very large, consisting of seventeen children, of whom only Mrs. Jane Wilkins, widow of the late William Wilkins, Mr. Nicholas Kinsman, stone road, and Mr. Richard Kinsman still survive, but there survive her as descendants, twenty-nine grandchildren, sixty-three great-grandchildren, and nine great-great-grandchildren. The deceased lady was a woman of very equable disposition, a humble and devoted Christian adherent of the Methodist Church, having been connected with that denomination almost from the first days of its struggle for existence. She was blessed in retaining her faculties, to the last and passed away most peacefully.'1a
