"At Orillia on Saturday 23rd inst. David Thomson, Sr, in the 84th year of his age."2Newspaper Obituary, The Orillia Times 28 Sep 1882.
"Last Monday a large company assembled at the house of William Thomson, of South Orillia, to attend the funeral of his aged father, David Thomson. Mr. Thomson was born at Boonies, Parish of Westerkirk, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, in the year 1798. The farm of Boonies had been occupied by his family for many generations. The records of their occupation only goes back to the year 1679, but tradition places the establishment of the family centuries beyond that date, and connects them with the original Scottish settlers of this district. Mr. Thomson was much respected in the parish of Westerkirk, was an influential member of the Church of Scotland; and as one of the Directors of the Parish Library was of great service in promoting education and diffusing intelligence. In religious knowledge, in acquaintance with his Bible and in clear view of its doctrines, he was a type of a Presbyterian of the good old stamp. In humble views of himself, in his simple and unobtrusive piety, by his love of the house of God and the ordinances of religion, and in his lowly trust in the Lord Jesus, he was a specimen of a class of Scottish yeomanry, that are alas too rapidly dwindling away. Their lineaments and best features are admirably preserved by the genius of Burns in the "Cottar's Saturday Night." In the year 1857 Mr. Thomson left the old country and the home possessed for so many centuries by his ancestors, and settled with his family in South Orillia, Possessed of an excellent constitution he continued to enjoy good health till a ripe old age. Since the death of his wife, eight years ago, he has continued to fail and after about two years illness he passed peacefully away, falling asleep in Jesus at the ripe age of 84. He had a family of five sons and two daughters, who are well known throughout the neighbourhood. One son is a well known miller and produce merchant in this town. Another son is the respected reeve of the township of Orillia and Matchedash, and has been both useful and energetic in managing the affairs of the municipality. His skill and success as a farmer are well known and he has done much to introduce superior kinds of stock into the district. Another branch of the family have been settled for many years in the township of Scarborough, and hold a prominent and influential position in that fertile township. As the old settlers are thus dropping off, the inspired questions of the venerable prophets forcibly present themselves, "Your fathers, where are they?" "And the prophets, do they live for ever? - Cox"."
