"The Late Mr A Glendinning, Ironmonger
Our obituary today contains an intimation of the death on Monday afternoon of Mr Archibald Glendinning, ironmonger, at the age of 76. The deceased had been in failing health for some time, but was able to move about the house until Saturday last, when he was attacked with blindness, and on Sunday became unconscious. He lingered in this state until Monday afternoon, when he passed quietly away. Mr Glendinning was born at Effgill in 1811, and served his apprenticeship as a joiner in Eskdalemuir. He then went to Newcastleton as foreman to Mr Douglas, joiner there. During his stay he built the railway bridge near Wetheral. In 1841 he came to Langholm and began business as an ironmonger in the premises now occupied by Mr Ritchie, chemist. In 1855 he built the property at the foot of Kirkwynd, where he has since resided and carried on his business. When Whita Well was brought into the town he took a great interest in the scheme, and laid the pipes for the first supply. In 1859, when the Volunteer movement was inaugurated, Mr Glendinning was one of the first to join in Langholm. For some years he sat in the Police Commission, and was one of the trustees of the soup kitchen in the town. He was also an office-bearer in the Free Church. The deceased was well known and respected all over the district."5Gravestone, Kirk Wynd, Langholm.

The Late Charles Crerar
We regret to have to record the death of Mr Charles Crerar, Holmhead, who had reached the advanced age of fourscore years. For some time past Mr Crerar has been in indifferent health, but it was only within the past month or two that he was confined to the house. Mr Crerar was a native of Perthshire, and was born in the year 1800. He went into the service of John, fourth Duke of Athole, when quite a boy, and remained with him till the Duke of Buccleuch rented Athole Deer Forest in 1834, since which time he has remained in the employment of the latter. On the Duke relinquishing the tenancy of Athole Forest in 1839 the deceased came to Langholm as head keeper, in which position he has continued faithfully to discharge his duties with the utmost satisfaction to all with whom he came in contact for the last forty-one years. His relations with the tenentry were always of the most cordial character, and in the delicate position which he osccupied between landlord and tenant, this gratifying fact speaks volumes for his character. The high respect in which the deceased was held was shown by the recent special visit of the Duke of Buccleuch to see him. Mr and Mrs Crerar completed the fiftieth year of their married life in Octobber 1877, and in the following March their numerous friends in this district presented them, as a mark of their high regard, with a silver jug and a purse of fifty soveriegns. Mrs Crerar died on 13th May 1879, and she and her husband are survived by a son and three daughters. Mr Crerar belongs to a long-lived family, his father, who was principal gamekeeper to the Duke of Athole, having died in 1840 at the age of 90 years. Father and son seem to have been gifted with many of the same good qualities, as the followign interesting notice of Crerar the elder, taken from the Perthshire Courier of March 5, 1850, may serve to show:- [see John Crerar citations for this]."41841 Census.
