Augus Graham, a popular and esteemed lifelong resident of this community, died on Friday, November 24th in Wingham hospital where he had been a patient since September, 1960, after having a leg amputated. Mr. Graham was nearing his 83rd birthday and had been in comparatively good health until suffering a heart attack, which resulted in his unexpected death. Angus was a descendant of one of Kinloss Township's earliest families. He was born on the 4th Concession of Kinloss on December 13th, 1878, on the farm homesteaded by his late father, John Graham, a native of Skye, Scotland. His mother was the former Mary Ann MacKenzie who was born on the 2nd Con. Kinloss. Angus' maternal grandparents were Angus and Mary Rennie MacKenzie. His grandfather was one of the first settlers on the Second Concession, back about 1848, which was ten years before the Sommerville Survey of Lucknow. Mr. Graham's grandmother is believed to be the first women buried in Kinloss cemetery in March of 1857. On the Graham farm on the 4th Concession, still in the Graham name, Angus and his father at one time were active in the arduous task of lime making, and had several kilns located on different parts of the farm. On March 29th, 1910, Mr. Graham married Betsy MacMurchy of Huron Township and they spent all their married life on the 4th Concession farm, until retiring to Lucknow in 1952. Mrs. Graham died just a year ago in November of 1960. They were sadly bereaved in 1953 by the death of their daughter Anne, Mrs. Hawkes Robinson. Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. Gordon MacInnes [Margaret] of Petersfield, Manitoba; Mrs. James Snowe [Mary] of Belwood; Mrs. John Lowndes [Jean] of Queensville; Mrs. Brock MacKenzie [Dorothy] of Teeswater and two sons, Rennie of Torontp and Allan on the home farm. Mr. Graham is also survived by three sisters and one brother, Mrs. Jane Simpson and John Graham of Wingham, Mrs. Margeret Beaton and Mrs. B. W. Annis [Nellie] of Vancouver. He was predeceased by a sister Mrs. Thomas Lockhart [Lizzie] and three brothers, Ewen, Willie and James. The funeral service was held on Monday at the new Johnstone Funeral Home in the Johnstone block and was conducted by Rev. Rod MacLeod of South Kinloss Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Graham was a member. Interment was in South Kinloss Cemetery, the pallbearers being George Lockhart, Lloyd MacDougall, Fraser MacKinnon, Ira Dickie, Ernest Ackert, and his grandson, John MacKenzie.
