Thanks to John D. Reid from his blog Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections for the update that the Almonte Gazette in available now online for the years 1861-1989.
This thanks to cooperation between the  Mississippi Valley Textile Museum which organized the digitization/indexing and the Almonte Public Library which had previously imaged the town’s newspaper.
Like many local papers the Almonte Gazette is a rich source for social information as well as births, deaths and marriages within the area.
The search page instructions are detailed. Hint: the search times out if too wide a range of years is included.
