  • Notes 
    • Blacksmith, Riccarton Smithy above Kingscavil near Linlithgow.
      Buried St Michaels, Linlithgow

      Falkirk Herald 9th October 1869

      The Late Mr John Wilson

      The death of this gentleman was noticed in the obituary of last Thursday’s paper. He was born in February 1777, and died 30th September 1869, being nearly 93 years of age. He came to Riccarton, in this parish, in 1800, to commence, business as a country blacksmith for that district. Shortly after his coming there he married a wife from near his native place, by whom, he had four sons and six daughters, seven of who survived him; and having through them forty-one grandchildren, and forty-eight great grandchildren. His beloved and much esteemed wife died in 1842, and he has survived her for the long space of 27 years. Up to within the last few years he carried on the same business in the same place, but his latter days he spent , happy and comfortable with his son in law Mr. John Bennie, Farmer, Parkley. During his stay at Riccarton, he witnessed many changes in the neighbourhood, and was always much respected and highly esteemed by newcomers, as well as by old customers and neighbours. He was naturally cheerful in his disposition, affable and kind in his manner and honest and upright in all his dealings. In general knowledge he was well stocked, and in religious knowledge he was far above his position, having got as he himself said a “fire side training” (which we fear was common in his young days than in the present) shortly after he got settled in the place of his adoption he joined the East Associate Congregation. From his Christian deportment and religious knowledge, the members of the congregation called him to the office of the eldership, and he was ordained on the 30th December 1824, along with two other gentlemen, one of whom still survives. Up to within the last two or three years, he most diligently and conscientiously discharged the duties of his office, whether these were the delicate ones of church government or discipline, sick or death, bed visitations, and in last he was pleasant, and we trust, profitable to not a few. His style of prayer was practised in his early days, simple, yet sublime, and clothed in rich Bible language. In addressing a meeting in the church or in a member’s house, he far excelled. From his extreme knowledge of Bible history, clear and distinct views of Gospel doctrine and Christian duty, all of which he expounded and enforced in a manner well fitted to instruct and edify. He also took a very active part in the management of the congregation, and now that he is called away from us to give an account of his stewardship. We have good ground for cherishing the hope that he has done so with joy, and has had the glorious salutation tendered to him” Well done, good and faithful servant, enter ye into the joy of your Lord”
