• Notes

  Death of Mr. Ramsay We mentioned a couple of weeks ago the serious illness of Mr. James Ramsay, and this week we are called upon to record his death. His sufferings came to a close at an early hour on Sunday morning last. Mr. Ramsay was a very old resident of Galt, and many years ago was engaged in the butchering business. He leaves behind him one brother, Mr. Wm. Ramsay, of London, and a widow and large family. His funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, many old friends attending to pay the last token of respect to one whom they had known so long in life. Galt Reporter Dec 11 1885 pg 1 ____________ In Galt, on Sunday morning, Dec. 6th, at half-past 5 o'clock, James Ramsay, aged 63 years. Galt Reporter Dec 11 1885 pg 1
