Sarah Aurelia
Fairfield was born in Ernesttown, County of Addington, Ontario, on the 19th
February, 1814, her father being one of a large family who came to Canada
from the disrupted British colony to the south of us – for reasons loyalty to
the British Crown, Jonathan Fairfield and her mother, Charity Ryder. Her
brothers were William, Benjamin, Archibald and Henry Fairfield, respectively;
and her sisters were married to residents in the locality of Kingston and the
neighboring townships of Lennox and Addington. The Knights of Waterloo – Ham
Hawley, McLean’s, Brass and Reese’s – were brothers-in-law of the subject of
this sketch. She became the second wife of the late Thomas Aishton, M.D., 16th Dec., 1835 – who, after
the sudden loss of his first wife and child, came to Quebec on one of his
father’s vessels, from Plymouth,
England, as surgeon. Coming up the
country to Kingston he soon settled at Bath, where he practiced his
profession for the remainder of his life, and died there on the 14th
of December, 1877. They reared a family of ten children – six boys and four
girls, their names being, respectively, Elizabeth, Emma, Mercy Maria, Samuel
Clark, Martha Ann, John McLean, Thomas Diamond, Ira Ham, Richard Milwood, George Frederick and Sarah Agnes. Some of these
children have passed on to the higher realms and others are still
progressively taking this life’s experiences in various ways on this

was a true Christian and brought up her nine children in the faith in which
she lived, and in the triumph of which she died. Her husband, six sons and
two daughters survive, one son having died two years ago. Her remains were
laid to rest in Mount Pleasant cemetery, the funeral services being performed
by Rev. C.O. Johnston, of Wesley Methodist Church, in the midst of many sorrowing

Allan, John |
Former Well-Known President Has Passed John Allen died at Cobalt in Seventy-seventh Year The following article from the Northern News will be of interest to
very many in this district where the deceased was well known. An old-time resident of the North Country, in the person of John Allan,
passed away at his home in Cobalt in his seventy-seventh year. Nearly two years ago, Mr. Allan suffered a paralytic stroke which
confined him to bed for a few months. His healthy constitution enabled him to
recover to such an extent that he was able to renew his interest in his love
for gardening last summer. He spent the fall and winter months in and around
his old home near Kingston, Ont., and returned to Cobalt a little over a
month ago looking the picture of health and with every prospect, as far as he
was able, of again pursuing his principal hobby of making flowers grow at
which he was an adept. He complained of feeling unwell and his physician
ordered him to bed. He became gradually worse day by day and finally,
painlessly and peacefully joined the innumerable caravan. Those who were privileged to know John Allan intimately will recall his
sunny disposition, his Christian qualities, his unfailing generosity to the
distressed, his love of dumb animals and little children, his whimsicalities
and his kindliness. The world were better for a few more John Allans. His business career was long and varied. Engaged at Winnipeg and
Toronto with the T. Eaton Co., he
later went North to work in the purchasing department of the McIntyre Mines,
from which place he proceeded to become manager of the retail store of the Temagame Steamboat Company. In 1917 he was appointed
purchasing agent of Northern Ontario Light and Power Company at Cobalt and
continued his occupation with the successors to that company up to the time
of his retirement due to ill health in 1932. He was formerly a director and
secretary-treasurer of Galatea Gold Mines Limited and a director of Smelters
Gold Mines Limited. He was of Scottish extraction, his parents being John Allan and Mary Ann
Glenn, both of whom came to Canada and settled in the Kingston district. He was a Conservative in politics and a Presbyterian in religion,
continuing his affiliation with the church at the time of union through the
United Church at Cobalt. The impressive funeral service was conducted at the home by Rev. E.
Gilmour Smith, after which (with Dr. E.F. Armstrong, Messrs. W.S. Hallett, B.V. Harrison, J.R. Laidlaw, A.M. McDonald and
H.A. Seymour acting as pall-bearers) the remains were taken to Napanee,
Ontario, for burial in the family plot at Sandhurst. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, daughter of Morris Sills, to whom
the sincere sympathy of a host of friends is extended in her bereavement. The many floral offerings testified to the esteem and love in which the
deceased was held. Mr. Allan, when a young man, was manager for several years of a general
store at Conway where he was highly thought of by the people of that
community. Afterwards he conducted the general store business of Allan and
Glenn at Stella. He was for a time a traveler for the Carson wholesale
grocery and spent some time in the Klondike before going to Northern Ontario.
Friends of his young manhood remember him as a quiet, unassuming citizen with
a cheerful disposition. D. Caughey of Amherst Island and R.A. Caughey of Kingston are half-brothers and Miss E.J. Caughey of Kingston is a half sister of the deceased. |

MRS. M. ALLARD
nee RACIOT - It is my painful duty to record in the columns of the Faithful
Messenger the death of another of our well beloved sisters, Mrs. M. Allard,
eldest daughter of Mr. Pierre Raciot and Rose Robitaille, his wife, was born at St. Pie, in 1845; she was therefore forty-one years of age
when removed by death. Miss Raciot was still young when her parents accepted the
gospel. Owing to this circumstance she
early had the advantage of a knowledge of her Saviour and became a zealous
member of our French Methodist Church.
At 23 our sister was married to Mr. Marcel Allard, then a zealous
Romanist, but the piety and love of the young wife overcame the prejudices of
her husband, who some years after rejected the errors of Romanism to accept
salvation in Jesus Christ. Mrs.
Allard’s health was much impaired for some years, her sufferings were
sometimes very severe, and it was not without concern that she saw her end
approaching. She hoped that God would
spare her to bring up her children, but when convinced that he had otherwise
determined, she submitted without murmuring to his holy will. Shortly before her death our sister had a
long conversation with her aged mother and her family, in which she expressed
an ardent desire that her children might give their hearts to God, so as to
meet her above, and that she might say, in the words of the prophet, “Here am
I and the children which God hath given me.”
Convinced that God would care for hers, she peacefully fell asleep on
the 26th of May last, surrounded by her husband, her family, and
sorrowing friends. May her happy death be the means of the conversion of
many, and of her children. They will
feel that she whom we now mourn has only gone before to the glory of the
Father where she awaits them.

CLARENCE S.
ALLEN - A very sad death
occurred at Kingston General Hospital in the early hours of evening, on
Tuesday, March 24th, 1931, when Clarence Secord Allen, beloved
husband of Leita Marion MacWilliams,
passed to the Great Beyond at the early age of thirty-nine years. Deceased was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Allen, of Yarker, Ont., and had been in the best of health until a very
short time before his untimely death.
When he was seized with an acute attack of appendicitis he was rushed
to the hospital, where an operation was performed immediately, only to find
that gangerine had set in and all that the best
medical skill, tender nursing and loving care could do, was of no avail, for
God said: “Come unto Me and Rest” and
took dear Clarence away from his suffering to His heavenly home above, and
there we leave him to rest in peace, for as he said, he was tired. Deceased was affiliated with the United
Church and was a strong supporter of every good work. He leaves to mourn the great loss of a
devoted husband and father, his sorrowing wife and three young children,
Bruce, Vera and Gordon; also his aged
parents and three brothers, Calvin and Alvin who reside at Moscow; Blake, of Camden East; and three sisters, Mrs. James E. Craig, of
San Francisco, California; Mrs. LeRoy Lampkin, of Moscow; and Florence at home, who have the sympathy
of a host of friends in the loss of a loving son and brother. Owing to the unfavourable
condition of the roads at the time of his demise, the funeral was held from
his parents’ residence, at Yarker, to the United church, at the same place,
at two o’clock on Thursday, March 26th, and was very largely
attended by friends and acquaintances from far and near. Rev. T. H. P. Anderson, of Newburgh,
conducted the service, assisted by Rev. George MacKenzie,
of Yarker. Mr. Anderson made very
fitting references to the honourable life of the
departed, and the great loss sustained by his immediate family. The beautiful floral offering paid silent
tribute and the remains were conveyed to the Camden East vault, to await
interment. The pall-bearers were
cousins of the deceased, namely, Hubert Wartman, Frank Paul, John A. Wartman,
Walter Clancy; Everett Evans and Fred
Switzer, while Harry Wartman and Fraser Allen were flower bearers. Deceased
was a splendid neighbor, a true friend, and will be greatly missed by a wide
circle of friends. The heart-felt
sympathy of the community is expressed for the bereaved family. |

At the home of A.
A. and Elizabeth Allen, near Marlbank, their oldest son, George Albert, died
at an early age of 13 years, 11 months and 27 days on the 19th of
March 1897. In the early part of the
winter he got whooping cough, which was prevalent in that neighborhood. When nearly well his sickness turned to
pneumonia which lasted some weeks.
When he had about recovered from this trying complaint and was up for
a few days and was thought to be out of danger, he was taken with a pain in
his head from which he never recovered.
He passed away in the early morning, as the sun was rising. He seemed to have mastered all of his
ailments, and without the trouble in his head, he was sound and straight. Everything that medical skill and kind
friends could think of was done for him but without avail. He always enjoyed good health and had a
prospect of being a strong man. In
early life he showed a liking for books and good literature; he was a good student
and expected to try for the entrance this coming summer. He was a member of the young men’s class in
the Marlbank S. S. taught by his sister.
From this class he will be greatly missed as he was a regular
attendant. In answer to the prayer of
this teacher and devoted parents and the ministry of the Holy Ghost, he was
early lead to seek the Saviour and lead a new boyhood Christian life. He had not yet ventured out into the world
of society, but was loved and respected by all that knew him. His funeral was
conducted by the resident pastor J. R. Butler, on Sabbath at Marlbank. After seeing the immense gathering of
friends and relatives as well seated as possible, he took for his text
Philippians 1st chap. 23 and 24th verses, from which he
gave a very inspiring and instructive sermon, after which the remains were
placed in the vault. The sorrowing
family, which is composed of two daughters and two sons, also R. A. Allen,
who was George’s closest companion, have the sympathy of the whole
neighbourhood. R. B. A. |

SAD ACCIDENT –
On Wednesday afternoon, last, March 25th, Capt. Isaac Allen,
living near our village, went with his horses and wagon to burn his meadow at
Pine point, and his non-arrival home early in the evening, was cause for much
anxiety by his wife. She hastily
informed Mr. John C. Phillips and Wm. H. Cornelius, and they together started
to find the missing man. They found the team and wagon loaded with drift
stuff or sea-weed, in Pine Point stack yard, and by following the wagon track
on the meadow, they there found Capt. Allen lying on his back dead. They carefully and tenderly conveyed him to
his home, which he left but a few hours before in perfect health. How he was killed, cannot be exactly told,
but the generally received opinion is, that after leading his wagon and
desiring to take the team out of the way, so as to burn the dead grass on the
meadow, (as is the custom at this season of the year,) he got, or attempted
to get on the wagon, and the horses by making a sudden start, threw him under
the wheels, thereby causing his death.
His head was somewhat bruised and it is thought by some that his neck
was broken. We have known him long and well.
He was a genial companion a good and obliging neighbor; kind and
indulgent parent, and by his untimely taking off, has cast a gloom over the
entire neighborhood. We sincerely
condole with the bereaved family. The
funeral services were conducted at his residence, by Rev. Mr. Ogborn, on Sunday March 29, after which, the remains were
taken to Toms River and interred in the Riverside Cemetery. Peace to his ashes. |

In Memoriam -
The Late James Allen. We believe that
we are safe in saying that there was no one better known in this county than
the late James Allen, who died at his home in Napanee on Sunday last, after
an illness of several months. The
subject of this sketch was born in the township of Ernesttown, near the
village of Wilton, on the 7th of May, 1825. The earlier portion of his life
was spent on the farm with his parents, and while there he was surrounded
with the best of influences, and they made an impression which lasted through
life. Arriving at the age of manhood
he went to Odessa and engaged in the milling business with the Booth Company.
He remained in Odessa but a short time and then went to Morven, where he
remained about twelve years, being engaged in lumbering and jobbing. In 1853, Mr. Allen married Charlotte
Johnson, and to them were born six children, only two of whom are left to
mourn the loss of a loving father. In 1867, James Allen moved to Napanee, and
in the same year was appointed chief of police, a position he retained until
his death. Mr. Allen was a
conscientious servant of the public, and performed his work well. Possessed as he was of a kindly heart, he
dealt leniently with wrongdoers, trying to make them better men instead of
crushing them with an iron hand.
Deceased was a well known and highly respected member of the Methodist
Church, he having connected himself therewith about thirty-five years
ago. As class-leader, steward and
local preacher he served his church, and always with acceptability. In temperance work his voice was frequently
raised, and he was looked upon as one of the most earnest of the advocates of
that great moral reform. James Allen
was possessed of a great deal of natural ability, and he always regretted
that he had not availed himself of his privileges and acquired a better
education. He was a good man and was
respected by all, by none more than by those who knew him best. For twenty-two
years he faithfully served this town as chief of police and growing up with
the town and knowing all of its history, he was looked upon as an authority
on all matters pertaining to this municipality. His place will not easily be filled. Mrs. Allen and
two daughters, Emma, the wife of Mr. Williams, of Toronto, and Helen, who
resides at home, are left to mourn his loss. They have the sympathy of the
entire community in their great affliction.
Their sorrow is lessened by the knowledge that he whom they loved died
trusting in Christ, and that there is no doubt about his having 'gone home'
to his reward. The funeral on
Tuesday afternoon was very largely attended, the town officials, town councillors, firemen, members of the Masonic fraternity
and a large number of citizens following the remains to the church and thence
to the grave, in the Morven Cemetery. The body was taken to the Western
Methodist church, which was appropriately draped in mourning, and a solemn
funeral service held, conducted by Rev. S. Card, assisted by Revs. David
Wilson, Dr. Garner and A.B. Chambers.
The vast church was thronged and seldom have we seen so many people at
a funeral in Napanee. The funeral was
under Masonic auspices, the deceased having been a prominent member of that
order for many years. In conclusion we
can only say James Allen was an honest, upright, earnest Christian man, and
the respect shown his memory on Tuesday last was well deserved. |

James Henry Allen
- An honored resident of Newburgh, in the person of Mr. James Henry Allen,
passed to rest at the General Hospital Kingston, on Thursday, May 17th, 1923.
Mr. Allen lacked three days of being sixty-one years of age. He was born May
20th, 1862, and always lived on the same farm until he died. His grandfather
was born in Ireland, and also his mother, who came to Canada when six years
of age. in 1897 he married Miss Ethel Fraser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
Fraser, of Odessa. He was an industrious farmer, a worthy citizen, a good
neighbor, always ready to do a favor, consistent in business, and honorable
in his dealings. He was self-sacrificing, perhaps to a fault, in his endeavour to provide for his home; a kind father and
worthy husband. He was converted to God in his teens, and joined the Wesley
Methodist Church, of which he continued a member until death call him to the
church Triumphant. The funeral
services were held at the family residence on Saturday, May 19th, at 2 p.m.,
and were conducted by his Pastor, Rev. Geo. Nickle,
who spoke from Rev. 2:10, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give
thee a crown of life." The esteem in which deceased was held was shown
by the large number who attended the funeral services. The remains were
interred in the Newburgh cemetery to await the resurrection to life eternal. He leaves to mourn their loss his beloved
wife and one son, Fraser; also one brother, William of Moscow, and two
sisters, Mrs. Samuel Galbraith, of Lindsay, and Mrs. Milton Huffman, of Colebrooke. |

Death of J.H.
Allan Picton, Oct. 25
- The death occurred here yesterday of J.H. Allan, aged about eighty-two
years. Deceased was born at Adolphustown and at one time ran a livery
business at Port Hope and Oshawa. In politics he was a liberal and was at one
time mayor of Picton. He leaves a widow and one child. A few years ago
he affiliated his business with an American firm under the name of the John
H. Allen Seed company, and retired from active business. John Henry Allan
was born at Fredericksburgh 77 years ago. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Allan, removed with their family to Picton shortly afterwards, so that John H.
Allan was practically a lifelong resident of Picton. With the exception of a
short period in business in Port Hope, Mr. Allan was engaged continuously in
the seed business in Picton up to a few years ago. His was the pioneer house
in this district in the fancy pea raising industry and many thousands of
dollars have been paid through his agency to the farmers of Prince Edward and
adjoining counties for the product grown from seed furnished by him. The
business which was started in a small way on the north side of Main street,
soon assumed such proportions that larger premises were required and it was
removed across the street to the premises where the deceased has resided so
long. The industry again outgrew its location, and the John H. Allan Seed
Company was organized, several American capitalists becoming interested and
Mr. Allan retiring from active management. In addition to the Picton house
this company controlled several branches in the United States and conducted
business on a large scale. Though the company sold its Picton branch to
Messrs Hogg & Lytle, and Mr. Allan is understood to have withdrawn from
the company, the American end of the business flourishes and still bears the
name of the deceased, being known as The John A. Allan Seed Company with
headquarters at Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The name of John J. Allan in connection
with a seed house is an asset worth retaining and has a worldwide reputation. In early manhood
Mr. Allan took an active part in municipal affairs, and in the seventies was
mayor of Picton for several years in succession. He was a prominent personage
in the Liberal party in Prince Edward County, and though frequently urged to
become the party candidate he steadfastly declined the honor, preferring to
advance the party principles by laboring as a private in the ranks. The deceased was
a great lover of horses, and kept a stable of fancy bred animals for pleasure
and breeding purposes. Though in recent years he seldom drove the horses
himself, in his younger days he was quite a horseman. He always took a deep
interest in the welfare of his horses and was very particular as to the
character of the man who had charge of his stable. Mr. Allan was
twice married, his first wife being a Miss Fralick of Bath, Ont., who left no
family. His second wife survives and was formerly Miss Bella Lake, daughter
of Mr. W. H. Lake, coal merchant, Picton. By the second union a daughter,
Miss Phyllis Allan, about eight years old, is the only child. A sister, Mrs. Knowlson lives at Chicago. The funeral took
place on Wednesday afternoon and was conducted by the Masonic fraternity.

The Beaver has
made frequent mention of Parker Allen, J. P., of Adolphustown, as being the
oldest resident of that township and the last survivor of the early school
mates of Sir John Macdonald, when he and his sisters attended the old log
school house there in their early days, walking nearly four miles each day to
reach it. Mr. Allen died on Friday last, 10th inst., at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. C. M. Nash, Kingston at the patriarchial
age of 90 years and 10 days. He retained his mental and physical faculties to
a remarkable degree until the past year. He was seldom sick a day during his
long life and his memory of the early events of his native township, and of
the U.E.L. pioneers was truly wonderful He was only a couple of days sick at
the last - of pneumonia and general debility. He was of
genuine, U. E. Loyalist descent. His grandfather, Joseph Allen, was a Quaker
and large mill owner in New Jersey when the American revolution began. Like
most of his sect he took no part in the war at the commencement, but had
supplied the British with considerable flour and provisions as a matter of
business. The Americans learning of this went one day to his mill and store
house and plundered them. This so greatly incensed him that he went at once
to New York and obtained a captain's commission and returned home and got up
a company of volunteers who did vallent service on
the British side during the war. Of course all his property was confiscated,
and at the end of the revolution he had to join the other Loyalist refugees,
with his two sons, Jonathon and John, then boys of 14 and 12 years of age and
three daughters. Jonathon, father
of the deceased, spent all his days in Adolphustown, where he died many years
ago, and lies buried in the Church of England cemetery there. He was a man of
a good deal of enterprise, and is said to have built the first brick house in
the township, the remains of which stood until a few years ago. Mr. Parker Allen
spent all his years in his native township on a farm just a lot or two east
of where he was born. He was married in 1845 to Miss Nash, a daughter of the
late Thomas Nash, J. P. of Picton, who survives him, with several of their
sons and daughters. The sons are Thomas and Charles, well known residents of
Adolphustown; and James, who resides in Portland, Oregon. The daughters are
Mrs. Edward Botterell, of Ottawa; and Mrs. C. M.
Nash of Kingston. He was a man of much intelligence and was held in high
respect by those who knew him. His name appears in the old records as
Township clerk of Adolphustown sixty-two years ago, in the days of the old
time town meetings. He was several times a member of the Township Council and
also represented his native township in the old united counties council,
which sat in Kingston over forty years ago. In politics he was a staunch
Conservative and a warm personal friend of Sir John Macdonald, Hon. Senator
Benjamin Seymour and others of that class. He was, for
years, a prominent member of the Church of England. Under the instrumentality
of the late Lord Cecil he became thoroughly converted, years ago, and was
ever after a zealous member of the Plymouth Brethren. It may yet be
remembered by some readers of The Beaver, that it was while on a trip to Mr.
Allen's home, and in sight of it, that Lord Cecil was drowned in the Bay,
just a little west of Adolphustown, some years ago. The personal friendship
was very close between these gentlemen for years. The body was
deposited in the Cataraqui vault, near Kingston, but will be removed to
Adolphustown in the early spring to find its last resting place beside those
of his kinsmen and many former neighbors, who have gone on before. PARKER ALLEN
DEAD – Born at Adolphustown Over Ninety Years Ago – As the ripened fruit
falls from the bough when touched by the frost of autumn, as was garnered in
the spirit of Parker Allen, when touched this morning by the chill hand of
death. In age over ninety years and
ten days he had seen much of life, had run his course and was ready to join
the innumerable caravan that moves to the silent realms of death. The late Mr.
Allen was born in Adolphustown, Lennox county, his father being one of the
oldest U.E. Loyalists who settled in the Bay of Quinte district. There it was, on his own broad acres, the
deceased spent nearly ninety years of an active, useful life. He was well known as one of the most
prosperous farmers and one of the most revered citizens. He was the oldest man in Adolphustown, and
the news of his demise will be sincerely mourned. Last winter he
spent in Ottawa with his daughter, Mrs. Edward Botterell. On Good Friday last he came to Kingston and
since then has been visiting his other daughter, Mrs. C. M. Nash, 125 Union
street, this city. His was a wonderful
constitution, for he was seldom sick a day during his long life. On Wednesday he ate a hearty breakfast, but
during the day was taken ill.
Pneumonia, combined with general debility, hastened the end. The deceased
took an active interest in municipal politics. He was a conservative, and had at one time
or another held all the offices in the gift of the township. He is survived by a widow, the two
daughters mentioned above, and three sons, viz.: Thomas and Charles on the

R. B. ALLEN OF
NAPANEE DEAD Very Prominent Citizen
of Town Passed Away Sunday Night. - NAPANEE, April
1. - Napanee lost one of its most
highly esteemed residents and Grace church its oldest member of the official
board in the death of Mr. R. B. Allen which took place at his home, Market
Square, shortly after 9 o’clock on Sunday night, and arrangements have been
completed for the funeral which will take place from Grace church at 2
o’clock on Wednesday afternoon, after which the cortege will proceed to the
Allen cemetery, near Marlbank. Mr. Allen had
been in poor health for the past year and recently quietly observed his 87th
birthday. Of a family of eight boys
and five girls, children of the late Dr. James Allen and Mrs. Allen, the
deceased was the sole surviving member. Mr. Allen’s
parents were born in the north of Ireland and came to Canada 108 years ago on
a sailing vessel. The time required
for the trip was thirteen weeks. The
father of the deceased practiced his profession in Conway and other points in
the county and in later years erected a mill near Marlbank known as Allen’s
Mill. Dr. Allan was a
graduate of the University of Edinburg and at his graduation had a choice of
seven diplomas. He was the highest in
his class and could speak seven languages. The deceased had
been in business in Napanee for nearly half a century and in his younger days
was a talented soloist, assisting in concerts throughout the county to a
considerable extent. His business had
been in musical instruments and many changes have taken place since he opened
up a store in Napanee. In the early
days pianos and organs were in great demand and then came the talking
machines. Mr. Allen was the
representative for the Edison talking machines and had probably the first one
to come to Napanee. He did a wonderful
business and his store was known throughout the entire county. Of late years he had not the time to attend
to the business as he desired owing to ill health. Throughout his
life he had been a devout member of the Methodist (now United) church, and
joined the former Western Methodist (now Grace United) church on coming to
Napanee. He was not only the oldest
member of the board but took a keen interest in the work of the choir and was
a member of the music committee for many years. He was also greatly interested in temperance
and was not slow to cast party affiliation to the wind when that party did
not promote the temperance cause. He
was also interested in bees and on many occasions gave addresses in
connection with the honey business. A
member of the Orange lodge for a long period of years he occupied various
offices in the blue lodge and also took thirteen degrees in the Preceptory. He was
a member of many years standing in Union Lodge No. 9 A.F. & A.M. and
until illness intervened rarely missed a meeting. In his passing
Napanee has lost one who had a wide circle of friends and whose cheery
disposition mad the many friendships enduring. Mr. Allen was
twice married and besides his wife leaves a family of three, R. A. Allen of
Toronto, Mrs. Lileon Clayton of Toronto and Mrs.
(Dr.) Frank Anderson of Ottawa. There are twelve
grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. |

JOHN ALLINGHAM -
Died at his late residence in the township of Mornington,
on the Milverton Circuit, on the 23rd of
January, 1886. Brother Allingham was
born in the county of Donegal, Ireland, in the year 1816 and was married to
Miss Jane Armstrong in 1848 and came to Canada in the year 1850 and settled

with the English Church, but attended the Methodist Church on this circuit
with his devoted wife, who from childhood has been a consistent and loyal
member of our Church. Brother
Allingham was very retiring in disposition, but a man of sterling worth and
highly respected by all who knew him.
He raised a large and respectable family of children who with their
devoted mother mourn their loss. Mr.
Allingham was very successful as a farmer, and leaves all his family in
comfortable circumstances and several of them members of the Church. Our dear brother died in piece, of
inflammation of the lungs, in the 71st year of his age, and we
laid all that is mortal of a faithful husband and a loving father in the Millbank cemetery, in hope of a glorious resurrection

ALLISON - Born Feb 5th 1895, died Jan 11th, 1908.
Flowers have their time to bloom, and leaves their time to fall, But for thy
seasons, oh death, Thou hast them all. Rarely has the news of a death brought
expression of such universal and sincere sympathy and regret as that of Miss
Anita Jennie Allison, whose young life came to a close on Saturday morning,
at six o'clock. Life for her held much of roseate tinge and in her home and
friends she was blessed with the tenderest purest
affection. She was the youngest daughter of the late Roderick and Mrs.
Margaret Allison, of Parma, and her life had been spent there until a few
months ago, when she came to Adolphustown to live. She had only been ill a
few days with appendicitis which demanded an operation and her strength
failed to carry her through the ordeal. The last sad obsequies were held from
her late home on Monday afternoon at one o'clock. Rev. W. S Boyce, of Adolphustown,
officiating. Mr. Boyce spoke with the deepest emotion, of the fair young
life, of her many graces of person and character, and of the sweetness of the
assurance that she had passed from an earthly home to one fairer and more unperishable, where she awaits the coming of those whose
hearts ache now for the vanished presence. The floral tributes were
beautiful. Interment was made in the Allison Mausoleum. Messrs. John A.
Duffett, Harold W. Duffett, John A. Stratton, George Chalmers, Arthur
Chalmers and Parker Allen officiating as bearers. |

D.W. ALLISON –
For two weeks past a prominent citizen of the township of Adolphustown, and widely
known and highly esteemed throughout Lennox, Mr. D. W. Allison, was gradually
sinking, and on Tuesday afternoon the end came. Deceased had attained the patriarchal age
of eighty-five years, but there is little doubt his death was prematurely
hastened through an accident at Picton over a year ago, when he was knocked
down by a runaway horse, and so badly shaken up and injured that from that
time on his decline was marked. David
W. Allison was a son of the late Joseph Allison, of U.E. Loyalist stock, and
one of a large family. The remaining
brothers are Cyrus Allison, Parma; Joseph Allison, Adolphustown. John and Henry died some few years ago. The sisters are Mrs. Gunsolus,
Adolphustown; Mrs. W. Briden, Kingston, and Mrs.
Mallory, Adolphustown. Besides his
widow one daughter and three sons survive.
They are, Miss Mamie Allison, Dr. David Allison in the United States;
John B. Allison, collector of customs, Napanee and Raymond Allison, at home. Deceased was a Methodist in religion. The funeral service was held in the U.E.L.
Methodist church on Thursday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse
of people, many of who came from a distance to pay a last tribute of respect
to their departed friend. Rev. W. S.
Boyce conducted the services, and the remains were placed in the family
mausoleum. Some
time after leaving school the late Mr. Allison entered commercial
pursuits, and how successful his exertions were is best learned by looking at
the position which he held in the industrial life of the country. By his keen business tact he amassed a
fortune, which he employed by promoting the prosperity of the community in
various active pursuits. Every
enterprise which promised to be of public advantage received his
encouragement and support. He was extensively
engaged in the manufacture of lumber and salt in the Saginaw Valley, Mich.
and held important interests in mineral
lands. In addition to such
enterprises Mr. Allison engaged in farming upon an extensive scale, and was
some years ago the largest land owner in the County of Lennox and
Addington. Mr. Allison was a
consistent reformer and his public career, though brief was equally
successful with his commercial record.
In 1881, he was elected warden of Lennox and Addington county and made
an excellent presiding officer, assisting materially in the important work of
consolidating the county debt. In 1882
he was elected to represent the constituency of Lennox in the parliament of
Canada, and made a good representative.
Socially he was held on the highest esteem. He was a member of the Masonic craft,
having received the highest degrees obtainable in this country. In 1876 he married Amelia Elizabeth Embury,
a member of one of the oldest families in the township. He erected on the shores of the Bay of
Quinte, in a most picturesque spot, a palatial residence, planned and
equipped with every modern convenience.
Here his hospitality was unbounded and his home the centre of social
life in that community. Mr. Allison
was a member of the Methodist church, and one of its liberal supporters. Years ago he erected on the bay shore a
splendid mausoleum of solid cut stone, which is nearly as indestructible,
either by time or the elements as it is possible to make and there the
remains of himself and family will be placed when their career here is ended. D.W. Allison,
ex-M.P. Kingston, Ont.,
May 16 - Mr. David W. Allison, ex-M.P., died at his home in Adolphustown
yesterday, aged 85 years. On May 24, 1905, he was knocked down at the Picton
celebration by a horse and badly injured. That nervous shock led to his
death. He was born in the township in which he died, was an influential and
wealthy man, and in municipal council, county council and federal Parliament
he was a leading personage. He was a Liberal, a Methodist, and a Mason. He is
survived by a widow and four children. One son, John Allison, is collector of
customs at Napanee. in 1882, Mr. Allison defeated Sir John A. Macdonald in
Lennox. The Late D.W.
Allison Universal regret
was expressed in town on Tuesday afternoon, when it was learned that Mr.
David W. Allison had passed away at his home in Adolphustown. Deceased had
been in failing health for the past few months and his death was not
unexpected. A couple of years ago he was severely injured at Picton races,
and since that time had never enjoyed his usual robust health. D.W. Allison
was a grandson of Benjamin Allison, the first of the Allison family to settle
in Canada, and his late residence now stands but a short distance from the
spot where the pioneers first landed. Deceased has for
many years been a prominent figure in the life and times of the Township of
Adolphustown and in fact the whole County of Lennox. In a number of political
contests in Lennox he was the Liberal standard bearer and was elected to the
Dominion Parliament in 1883 and again in 1891 and by his death Liberalism
looses one of its most staunch supporters in this county. In 1881 he was
elected warden of Lennox and Addington county and made an excellent presiding
officer, assisting materially in the important work of consolidating the
county debt. Socially he was
held in the highest esteem. He was a member of the Masonic craft, having
received the highest degrees obtainable in this country. He married
Amelia Elizabeth Embury, a member of one of the oldest families in the
township. His hospitality was unbounded, and his home the centre of social
life in that community. Mr. Allison was a member of the Methodist church, and
one of its liberal supporters. Deceased was
born and bred in Adolphustown and with the exception of a few years spent in
Michigan his whole life was spent in this county. Some
time after leaving school the late Mr. Allison entered commercial
pursuits, and how successful his exertions were is best learned by looking at
the position which he held in the industrial life of the country. By his keen
business tact he amassed a fortune which he employed by promoting the
prosperity of the community in various active pursuits. Every enterprise
which promised to be of public advantage received his encouragement and
support. He was extensively engaged in the manufacture of lumber and salt in
the Saginaw Valley, Mich., and held important interests in mineral lands. In
addition to such enterprises, Mr. Allison engaged in farming upon an
extensive scale and was some years ago the largest land owner in the county
of Lennox and Addington. Besides his
wife, four children are left, viz; Dr. David
Allison, Williamstown, N.Y., May L. Allison, Oshawa; John B. Allison,
Custom's Collector at Napanee, and Raymond J. Allison, at home. The remaining
brothers are; Cyrus Allison, Parma; Joseph Allison, Adolphustown. John and
Henry died some years ago. The sisters are: Mrs. Gunsolus
and Mrs. Mallory, Adolphustown; and Mrs. W. Briden,
Kingston. The funeral took
place yesterday and the remains were placed in the splendid Mausoleum which
deceased erected years ago on the bay shore. It is solid cut stone, which is
nearly as indestructible, either by time or the elements, as it is possible
to make, and there the remains of himself and family will be placed when
their career here is ended. The following
gentlemen from Napanee attended the funeral; Jas. Daly, D.H. Preston, F.

ALLISON - In
Adolphustown, Tuesday morning, Nov. 11th, Henry Allison, aged 77 years. OBITUARY - HENRY
ALLISON, J.P. The old Township
of Adolphustown and indeed this whole county, has lost one of its oldest and
best known native residents in the death of Henry Allison, which occurred at
his residence, the old family homestead, on Tuesday, the 11 inst. He was born
on the old family homestead, which has been occupied by the Allison family
ever since the first UE Loyalists came to this county in 1784, and lived on
that well-known farm the entire seventy-seven years of his life. After the
American revolution the family, which was a large one, got very widely scattered
in the States and Canada. In the Maritime provinces, as well as pretty
generally throughout Ontario, the family is now well represented. The
deceased was a kindly and neighborly gentleman, a man of more than ordinary
industry, intelligence, information and ability, always deeply interested in
the early history of the Midland District and of Adolphustown. He was a son
of the late Joseph Allison, J.P., for many years a prominent citizen, taking
an active interest in the moral, educational and religious progress of this
county. The deceased was also a member of the Methodist church and of the
Liberal party. He was a man of staunch and liberal views. His surviving
brothers are David W., ex- M.P., and formerly a Warden of our County Council;
Cyrus, of Parma, also a Warden of this County Council; Joseph, an ex-Reeve of
Adolphustown; Edward, Port Perry. Surviving sisters are Mrs. Rev. Briden of Kingston; Mrs. Lewis Brown of Adolphustown;
Mrs. Nelson Mallory, of Mallory's Point, Adolphustown. He married a daughter,
years ago of the late Solomon Wright, of Fredericksburgh, and their two sons,
Harry of Conway, and Fred who resides on the old homestead, survive him.
There are also a large number of respected and influent relatives well-known
throughout this county. It may be here remarked that the late Mr. Allison
took considerable pride over the fact that there stood on his farm probably
the oldest barn in the county, having been built by a Mr. Secord, a
carpenter, who soon after was interested in the building of the Major
Vanalstine grist mill before 1800 at Glenora, which was said to have been the
first flour mill in Prince Edward county. Few families have occupied so long
a prominent position in municipal and political affairs, in church and
educational matters than that of which the deceased was a respected member. Henry Hoover
Allison died at Adolphustown, November 11th, 1902, in his 78th year. Mr.
Allison was born on Lot 17, 1st concession, which place was drawn by Joseph
Allison the 1st as a U.E.L. and on which farm he lived and died. For many
years, Mr. Allison was engaged as grain merchant, he having owned what is
known as Allison's wharf and store house and has handled the principal part
of the grain grown in his locality, and has as well held many offices of
trust, having been Reeve of the township for years, and for twenty-five years
continually held the office of School Trustee, and during that time was
Sec-Treasurer of same, and with all his dealings with and for the people he
was considered an honest man. He married Martha Wright, daughter of Solomon
Wright, who survives him, with two sons, Fred, who lives at the homestead,
and Harry, who lives in South Fredericksburgh. Mr. Allison was a Methodist in
principle and in politics a staunch Reformer. On the 13th November Rev. R.
Allen conducted service at his late residence, and he was followed to his
last resting place, the family mausoleum, by many surviving friends. Thus
ends the life of a good citizen, a true friend and a loyal subject of our
country. |

The township of
South Fredericksburgh has lost one of its most popular, successful and examplary citizens in the death of Mr. J. R. Allison of
Parma, which occurred on Monday evening, March 31st , at the age
of 45 years. He was the only child of ex-Warden Cyrus Allison, J.P. and Mrs.
Allison, with whom he and his family resided. By his death a household of
three generations have been terribly bereaved, and the entire community has
lost a popular and most estimable citizen. He married Miss Maggie Loyst, an
estimable lady, who survives him with their two young daughters, yet mere
children. The deceased was born in the front of Adolphustown, on the old
Allison homestead. Some years ago, he moved with his parents to Parma, where
he has lived ever since. He was a very intelligent and successful farmer, an
excellent type of our best and most intelligent class of farmers, of which
this county can boast. He was a man of most examplary
habits, a life long abstainer from liquors and
tobacco. His health was excellent until a few months ago, seldom seeing a days illness. A couple of months ago or less he consulted
Dr. Vrooman in regard to a growing weakness, which he did not fancy
represented anything very serious. The Doctor saw, however, that he was then
in the incipient stages of a blood disease and his recovery was hardly
possible. Since then all that medical skill and good family care could do
seemed of no avail. He was a faithful member of the Centenary Methodist
church, Adolphustown, a member of the choir and a hearty worker in everything
that pertained to its success. Few men were more highly respected by all, and
whose death was more generally deplored. The funeral took place at Adolphustown
Methodist church on Thursday and was very largely attended. At Parma, South Fredericksburgh, on Monday,
March 31st, Mr. John Roderick Allison, only son of Mr. Cyrus Allison, J.P.,
aged about 45 years.

Allison, Joseph |
Died – On the 27th
of July, Mr. Joseph Allison, of Adolphustown, in the 87th year of
his age. Mr. Allison was born in the State of New York (then a British
Colony) and at the commencement of the revolutionary struggle joined the
British Standard. At the close of the war, he, with others, followed the
retiring flag of their choice into British North America and settled in 1784
upon the farm where he ended his earthly career. For five or six years after
it appears that the minds of those new settlers were wholly engrossed with
difficulties and prospects peculiar to a new country; without paying any
attention to the concerns of the --- part. At length (in the year 1790), they
were roused from their spiritual slumbers, by the voice of one of those pious
pioneers, “who thundered at every door,’ and first planted the standard of
the Cross on these northern shores. Mr. Allison soon heard the voice; obeyed
the call; and in a very clear and powerful manner was converted to God. He
soon received license as an exhorter and was very useful in the great revival
which took place in this and the following years. But notwithstanding Mr. A.’s
sound and clear conversion and the extensive field of usefulness which lay
before him, in consequence of some difficulties arising in the infant church,
he was turned from the path of duty: -gradually lost the comforts of
religion; and eventually lost the society. After this, his life became very
checkered, sometimes rising and then falling; but always feeling a great
regard for Christianity in general and for Methodism in particular. He spent
much of this time in reading religious books and especially the writings of
Mr. Wesley. Of this privilege he was deprived about eight years ago, by the
loss of his sight. Being now shut in from the outward world, he seemed to
turn his attention more to the concern of his soul. There seemed to be but
little change in his circumstance, till within a few hours of his death; when
it became apparent that his mortal house was falling; although his mind
retained its usual vigour. He spent almost the
entire night previous to his death in expatiating upon the plan of redemption
(especially upon the merits and efficacy of the Saviour’s
blood) singing and prayer. He would sing as long as he had strength and then
repeat the remaining part of the verse or verses. He would then pray with an
energy which loudly declared that he had hold o the atoning sacrifice. He
then sung a part of his favourite hymn, “I’ll praise my Maker whilst I’ve
breath,” &c.; after which he gave some advice to his nephew (Mr. Joseph
B. Allison with whom he lived, respecting his aged and time-worn partner who
is in her 96th year) and then requested to be placed upon his bed,
on which his earthly pilgrimage in a few minutes ended, without a struggle or
a groan. And now, although I firmly believe, that in the death of Mr. Allison,
another spirit has entered rest – yet when I think of the amount of good that
he might have been instrumental in doing in his day and the many more
peaceful hours he might have enjoyed, had he remained closely connected with
the church of God and a faithful labourer in the
vineyard of the Lord, I stop, I think, I sigh, I drop a tear. That the great
Head of the church may preserve the writer and keep the reader from wandering
from the fold of Christ, is the prayer of yours, affectionately, C.R.A. |

97th year. OBITUARY -
JOSEPH B. ALLISON - For the past four weeks, Mr. J. B. Allison, a prominent
citizen of Adolphustown and a man widely known and highly esteemed throughout
Lennox county, was gradually sinking and on Tuesday evening of last week, the
end came. Deceased had attained the
patriarchal age of ninety-six years and ten months. Joseph B. Allison was a son of the late
Joseph B. Allison of P. of U.E. Loyalist stock, and is the last one of the
large family of ten children. His
wife, Martha M. Membery predeceased him fifty-five years ago. Two daughters and one son, also five
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren survive. His children are Mrs. T. N. Davis of
Dorland, with whom he has spent the last two years; Miss Edna Allison, R.N.,
of Honolulu, and Arthur Allison, who lives on the homestead. The funeral service was held in the U.E.L.
United Church, Thursday afternoon last and was attended by a large number of
friends, many of whom came from a distance to pay a last tribute of respect
to their departed friend. Rev. G.
Gardner conducted the services and the remains were place in the family
mausoleum. Some
time after leaving school, the late Mr. Allison entered the law office
of W.H. Allison, K.C., Picton. Not
liking the work, he decided to return to the farm. He was a consistent reformer and his public
career was one of efficient service.
He was Reeve of the township for several years; also magistrate and
clerk of the Court. He was salesman
for the U.E.L. Cheese Factory for twenty-nine years. In 1866 he married Martha M. Membery, a
member of one of the oldest families in the township and for forty years
lived on the farm where his son now resides.
Deceased was a staunch member of the United Church. He was the last person living who attended
the Old Hay Bay Church as a boy. A wave of
sadness was cast over the community in the passing of Mr. J.B. Allison on
Tuesday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. T.N. Davis, where he
received every care that could ease his journey down the river. Mr. Allison
has been a prominent man in Adolphustown. He was in the Municipal Council for
years, salesman for the U.E.L. Butter and cheese factory for a long period, a
member of the Trustee Board of the U.E.L. United church since its building,
and always interested in all the organizations of the church. Had he lived
until the 25th of May he would have celebrated his 97th birthday. Oldest
Descendant of U.E.L.’s Is Dead Late J.B.
Allison of Adolphustown Word was received
in town on Wednesday announcing the death of J.B. Allison of Adolphustown at
the ripe old age of 96 years. Had Mr. Allison lived until May 25th,
he would have been 97 years of age. He was undoubtedly
the oldest descendant of the United Empire Loyalists in Canada, his father,
Joseph Allison having come to Canada with the band of faithful loyalists. He
was the last surviving member of a family of ten and the Allison family is
one of the best known in the historic township of Adolphustown. A brother,
D.W. Allison, father of post master, J.B. Allison of Napanee, represented
Lennox County at Ottawa in the Liberal interests many years ago. The deceased
was a staunch Liberal and was a member of the United Church. A son, Arthur,
resides on the old homestead, a daughter, Mrs. T.N. Davis resides near
Dorland and there is a daughter, Miss Edna Allison, Reg. N. in Honolulu. The funeral of
the late Joseph B. Allison was held from the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
T.N. Davis with whom he had resided for the last three years, to the U.E.L.
Memorial United Church followed by interment in the family mausoleum. The
services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. G.W. Gardner. Mr. Allison was the
last of a large family of brothers and sister. He is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. T.N. Davis of this place, Miss Edna Allison of Honolulu and
one son, A.W. Allison, who resides on the home farm, also five grandchildren
and three great-grandchildren.

The Late Mrs.
Allison On Tuesday at
Adolphustown, Mrs. Allison, mother of D.W. Allison, died. She was almost the last
of the first generation of descendants of the U.E.L. She was a daughter of
Henry Hoover and was a lady of strong intellect and sturdy principles. The
funeral was attended by an immense concourse. In Memoriam –
The Late Mrs. Allison, Adolphustown On Wednesday
last, Mrs. J.B. Allison died, aged 89 years and 8 months. Deceased was born
in Adolphustown, Nov. 3rd, 1799, her father, the late Henry
Hoover, being one of the best known of the U.E. Loyalists. Many a time,
during the war of 1812, Mrs. Allison, then but a little girl, ministered to
the wants of our soldiers, her father’s home being a haven of rest for our
loyal troops. When the allotment of land took place Henry Hoover drew a
portion for each of his children, Mrs. Allison getting her share with the
others. Over sixty-five years ago, Mrs. Allison married Joseph B. Allison,
also of Adolphustown, a son of a U.E. Loyalist. Mr. Allison was a local
preacher in the Methodist church and was greatly assisted in his work by his
faithful wife. He has been dead for a number of years. Deceased had been a
member of the Methodist church since 1815. On the 11th of June,
1884, Mrs. Allison was chosen to lay the corner stone of the Adolphustown
memorial church and this was her last public act in connection with a church
of which she had been for so many years an honoured
and consistent member. One of the sons the deceased, John, has been dead for
a considerable number of years; all of the rest of her children were present
at the funeral. The five sons, Henry, David W., Cyrus, Joseph and Edward and
W.H.R. Allison, Q.C., acted as pall bearers and reverently carried the coffin
from the old homestead to the magnificent Allison mausoleum erected on the
shores of the Bay of Quinte. In addition to those above named, the daughters
of the deceased, Mrs. J. Gunsolus, Mrs. L. Brown,
Mrs. W. Briden and Mrs. N. Mallory were present, as
were also upwards of fifty nephews, nieces and grandchildren. |

Allison To the Editor of
the Christian Guardian, Adolphustown,
July 28th, 1846 Dear Sir – It becomes
my painful duty to record the death of our eldest daughter – our much beloved
and never to be forgotten dear Phebe Jane. After a protracted illness of
seven months, she did in great peace at her respected uncle’s, Mr. Samuel
Coat Hover, in Adolphustown on the 17th inst. She was of a serious
and pious turn of mind from a very early period, particularly since she was
ten years old; but notwithstanding this and her greater attention to her
eternal interest since the death of her youngest brother (which took place
near nine months ago, an obituary of whom was written by the now sainted
child) – it was not til within a short time of her
death that she obtained those clear manifestations of the Divine favour which
enabled her to rejoice in prospect of soon leaving this vale of tears and
being with “Christ, which she then felt would be far better. Thus this
blooming and to us at least, lovely flower was cut down – aged fifteen years,
two months and three days. She was consigned to the tomb by the side of her
dear brother on Sabbath, the 19th inst. after an appropriate
discourse, by the Rev. Asahel Hurlburt was delivered to the largest congregation
that ever assembled in Adolphustown on a similar occasion. May her sorrowing
friends ask and have an interest in the prayers of the pious, that they may
be sustained under this most severe of all earthly afflictions. Yours,
respectfully, C.R. Allison. |

known in the county surrounding. He has not been strong for some years, being
troubled with asthma and lung disease, hence he was an easy subject for la

body of Sanford Amey, 68, farmer residing in North Fredericksburgh, five
miles from here, was found hanging by a rope in the barn hay mow today by his
wife. Coroner Dr. T.M.

before the discovery was made. Deceased had been in failing health for some
time. No inquest will be held. The tragic death

born at Millhaven nearly 68 years ago. The deceased followed in the footsteps
of his father as to his vocation in life and was a farmer. Mr. Amey spent
his early years in his home district and came to the Morven district in 1900,
the same year that he was united in marriage to Miss Sara Rosamond Brown.

OBITUARY -
Charles Anson Anderson On Saturday,
December 10th, at the Hotel Dieu, in Kingston, there passed away one
of Napanee’s respected and successful business men in the person of Mr. C. A.
Anderson. Mr. Anderson had
been ailing for some time, but his condition was not considered serious until
a day or two before his death. When
medical assistance was called it was seen that the only opportunity lay in an
operation.. The operation was
therefore decided on; but Mr. Anderson failed to rally from its effects, and
finally succumbed on Saturday, the 10th. Born in North
Fredericksburgh, he early moved to Napanee, and entered the livery
business. Then when the automobile
began to take the place of the horse, he was one of the first to sense its
possibilities and became the agent for the McLaughlin cars, and was
considered one of the most successful distributors in Eastern Ontario. For thirty-three
years he had lived in Napanee, and during that time had earned the esteem and
respect of the whole community. The funeral was
held from the home of his son, Harold Anderson, Dundas St., Mr. Terrill, of
Grace Church, assisted by Rev. Dr. Shorey, of Trinity Church,
officiating. The Masonic Order, of
which Mr. Anderson had been a member for thirty years, turned out almost to
the last member, and their service under the guidance of the Chaplain, was
conducted over the grave in Riverside cemetery. There survive
him, his wife, Mrs. Anderson, formerly Miss Houston, one son, Harold, and a
sister, Miss Lucy Anderson all of Napanee. Those who were
chosen to bear the remains to their last resting place were fellow business
men and brother Masons, Messrs, F. L. VanLuven, A. MacGregor,

Ansley, Deborah (nee
Martin) |
DEBORAH ANSLEY -
Deborah Martin, wife of Henry H. Ansley, class-leader at Yarker, on the
Yarker Circuit, was born in the township of Portland, near Kingston, March 17th,
1821. She was brought up in a
Christian home. Her father, William
Martin, was a class-leader and exhorter in the Methodist Church for many years,
and always had a home for the early ministers. Many times Father Healy, Wellington
Jeffers, and Doctor Williams, and others, found here refreshment for further
toil. Deborah was their only daughter,
and was converted to God at the early age of sixteen years, after which she
joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and continued a faithful member until
her departure to the Church above. In
the year 1849, on the 29th day of May, she was married to Henry H.
Ansley, her now sorrowing husband, to whom she proved a faithful
helpmeet. They have but one child now
living, who is the wife of the Rev. C. A. Jones, of the Montreal
Conference. Sister Ansley was ever
willing to do work for God. She never
was bold, yet firm and fixed in purpose of heart she helped on the good
work. The young ministers of the
Wilton Circuit in later years found her a mother indeed while they boarded in
her home. In the last year of her life
she manifested a much greater interest in the rich, deep Christian experience
possible for one who longs to be pure in heart. When the writer was about to leave the
circuit for the Port Hope Conference, her home was the last place I called to
see Sister Ansley, who was then suffering much; yet little did I think it the last time I should see our dear sister
among the living. After a short
illness of five days’ severe suffering from inflammation, her spirit passed
away on the 6th of June, in the 65th years of her
age. Seldom do we see in so quiet and
even a Christian life a triumphant close as was Sister Ansley’s. When her end drew near she shouted, “Praise
the Lord! Glory to Jesus!” and thus she went to be forever with the
Lord. In the absence of the writer
attending the Conference at Port Hope, the Rev. J.J. Haylock,
of the Montreal Conference, preached a sermon of comfort to the many mourning
friends in the Church at Yarker; after which they followed her remains to
their last resting place, in good hope of meeting again “in the sweet by
-and-bye.” [signed] M.J.

Mr. Charles H. Asselstine, who passed away at his home in Hawley, on
Wednesday, was held at the family residence on Friday afternoon, May 3rd, and
despite the inclemency of the weather, was largely attended. Mr. Asselstine
was for many years a prominent and well known farmer residing at Hawley, and
his illness had been of long duration. During the many years that he was in
ill health he consulted many prominent physicians at home and abroad, but
they were unsuccessful in restoring his health. The deceased was probably as
well known in Napanee as in the district in which he resided, and his many
friends will regret to learn of his death. Surviving are his widow and one
son; also two brothers, and a sister, Mr. Herbert Asselstine, proprietor of

An Old Veteran's
Death The Late Cyril
Asselstine - He Did Service For His Country The late Cyril
J. Asselstine was born on the old Asselstine homestead, North Fredericksburgh
Jan. 11th, 1818; married and settled in the township of Camden in 1842;
removed to the township of Sheffield in 1850; sold out his property in 1870
and invested the proceeds so as to secure a competence for the rest of his
days, and spent the rest of his days mostly among his children. He always
took a keen interest in all religions, moral and political questions, but it
was during his residence in Sheffield that he saw his most active political
service, being a magistrate and for a number of years a member of the
township and county councils. During this time he fought a number of hotly
contested battles in the key ward of the township, the political complexion
of the council depending on his success or failure - fought them not only at the
polls, but sometimes in the law courts. In those days of fire, whiskey and
open voting it was altogether too common for respectable voters to be mobbed
and driven from the polls. Although fearless and determined he was not the
man to use or encourage the use of violence to win his point; in all such
cases he acted the part of a peace-maker, and was so well respected even by
opponents that it was very rarely indeed that any one sought to do him bodily
harm. On one occasion, however, while talking to another man, a rowdy from
behind tried to reach his head with a chunk of lead at the end of a whip
stalk. He was fortunate enough to save his head, but carried on his shoulder
for awhile the effects of the blow which, if it had reached its mark, might
have resulted seriously. For over half a century he was a consistent member
and liberal supporter of the Methodist church. He died as he lived in full
enjoyment of the christian's hope. During his last
illness he often expressed himself as willing to suffer on, but desiring
rather to depart and be with Christ, which was far better. Of his six
children five survive. His body was laid to rest beside that of his first
wife in Violet cemetery, having been brought from the residence of this
daughter in Watertown. |

Mr. George Asselstine
- Mr. George Asselstine, one of the well known and highly respected farmers
of South Fredericksburgh, died quite suddenly at his residence, near
Hamburgh, on Sunday evening last. He was in apparent good health on Saturday
and at work, as usual, on his farm.
About noon he was taken sick and four hours later he became
unconscious. Medical aid was soon present but all was of no avail. Shortly
after midnight he was dead. He was in the sixty-fifth year of his age. He was
the son of George Asselstine, one of the pioneer farmers of that section. The
deceased was born and spent all his days on the same farm. He was a man of
great industry and intelligence and highly respected by all who knew him. He
was a consistent member of the Methodist church from his early boyhood and a
class leader for nearly twenty years. In politics he was a Liberal, but never
took a prominent part in public affairs. He was township treasurer for a
number of years, and in that and every other business position inspired all
who came in contact with him with full confidence in his integrity and
uprightness. Mr. Asselstine was twice married. His first wife was Ruth,
daughter of the late John W. Bristol, who died in Napanee a few years ago.
Afterwards he married Miss Ann Finkle, sister of Rowland R. Finkle, Esq., of
Bath, who survives him with their three sons. They are Frederick, merchant of
Moorhead, Minnesota; Charles, who resides on the family homestead, and
Herbert who lives a few lots east. He was a brother-in-law to our townsmen,
Peter Bristol, Esq, of Piety Hill and George Cliff, sr. He was an excellent
type of the intelligent and successful farmers of which this county can well
boast. The funeral took place on Wednesday in the Bethel Methodist church, at
Hawley, of which he was one of the leading supporters, and the burial at the
Morven cemetery. Hamburg mourns
the loss of one of its oldest and most respected residents, in the person of
Mr. George Asselstine, who departed this life on the night of the 15th inst.
His funeral sermon was preached in Bethel church here. He leaves a wife and
three sons to mourn his departure. He was around all day Saturday and his
death was unexpected, which makes the circumstances more sad. His end was
peace. |

Killed In Elevator Accident at Minneapolis Napanee, Nov. 4 –
On Monday evening, Samuel Asselstine, of Hawley, received a message from

Maurice H. Asselstine died in Minneapolis, Minn., on Tuesday morning, November

disposition, he was a favorite with all who knew him. He was a good dutiful
son and a loving brother. His life was full of promise, being in his
twentieth year, and a splendid type of young manhood. This dear boy came to
his death under particularly sad circumstances, his death being caused by an
accident in an elevator in the city where he died. The Wide Awake Circle and
the Hawley Football Association, to which he belonged, each sent beautiful
floral offerings, besides many other floral offerings from friends. Besides
his parents he leaves three sisters, Mrs. Elgin Ungar,
of Minneapolis, Minn., Miss Elizabeth Asselstine, of Chicago, Ill., and Adah, and two brothers, Tillison
and Isaac Asselstine at home. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Mr. DeMille, at the Hawley Bethel church, in the absence of
their pastor. KILLED IN

year, had been employed in Minneapolis, Minn., in a hardware store running an
elevator. On Saturday evening he stepped out of the elevator, and as he did

seriously injured and died on Tuesday morning. The funeral will take place
from his father's residence this Friday afternoon at one o'clock. Service
will be held at Bethel church, thence to Morven vault. The sorrowing family

Obituary - Mr.
Michael Asselstine The community
suffered a great loss in the death of Mr. Michael Asselstine, the veteran
woolen manufacturer, of Odessa, who passed away at his home, on July 12th, in
his 82nd year. Mr. Asselstine was born just across the road from his late
home and spent his entire life in the community. He was united in marriage
with Jennie Chatterson, in 1868, and with her led a
very industrious and devoted life until her death in 1923. His was a
pioneer mill, the business having been established in 1810. It has remained
in the family ever since. He personally owned and operated the mill for over
sixty years. It was not until two years ago that he was compelled by failing
health to give up the work and thus the wheels of the oldest woollen mill in
Canada ceased to turn. Mr. Asselstine
was a man of the strictest integrity in his business and was always proud of
the fact that not a pound of shoddy had ever entered his mill. He was a regular
attendant of the Methodist Church, of which he was a faithful member and
generous supporter. He has left to
mourn his loss two daughters, Frances, of the old home, and Mrs. J.M. Shaver,
of Winnipeg; an aged mother who lately celebrated her 103rd birthday; two
sisters, Mrs. Emma Powley, of Orillia, and Miss
Kate Asselstine, of Kingston, and a brother, Henry, of Toronto. The largely
attended funeral service was conducted by Rev. G. McQuade,
of Odessa United Church. Mr. McQuade spoke
feelingly of the influence of the man into whose business not a pound of
shoddy had ever entered, and whose life had measured up to the same standard. Many and
beautiful were the floral tributes offered by sorrowing neighbors and
friends. |

MINERVA ANN
ASSELSTINE Kingston's
oldest resident, and the oldest in the entire district, died on Tuesday, by
the passing of Mrs. Minerva Ann Asselstine, in her 104th year. Had she lived
until June 18th, she would have reached the remarkable age of 104 years. The late Mrs.
Asselstine was possessed of marvellous faculties.
For twenty-six years she had been an invalid, but until the last few days, when
her speech was somewhat effected, she was as bright as ever. Her memory never
failed her, and she was able to recall incidents as far back as 100 years. The late Mrs.
Asselstine was born on June 18th, 1824, two miles west of Odessa; the
daughter of the late Capt. John Parrott. She was the eldest daughter of a
family of thirteen children, and her father was attached to a battalion
stationed in Kingston at the time that Fort Henry was built. The Parrotts were an old English family who came out to the
state of Maine before the war of the Revolution. When the war of 1812 broke
out, James Parrott returned to England and fought in the British army, in
which he rose to the rank of Colonel. His brother remained in Maine and
joined the army of the Revolution. Col. Parrott, a great uncle of the late
Mrs. Asselstine, returned to Canada and settled near Odessa. He built the
brick Methodist Church on the fourth concession, four miles west of Odessa in
1792, about the same time as the Hay Bay church was built. Col. Parrott was
associated with the United Empire Loyalists, such as the Hon. Richard
Cartwright and other stalwarts, who were the leaders in the settlement of
this district. Parrott's Bay was named for this prominent family. |

Aylesworth – Another of Napanee’s old landmarks has passed away in the person
of Jehiel Aylesworth. Forty-seven years ago he commenced business in our town
as a grocer and soon won his way to the hearts of his customers, by his fair
dealing and his bright and cheerful manner.
Several years later, he embarked in the wholesale trade which he
continued under his personal superintendence until stricken down by his last
illness. For several years, Mr.
Aylsworth sat at the council Board and in 1891, was chosen as Chief
Magistrate of the town, a position which he filled with great credit to
himself and with general satisfaction to the whole community. He was both a progressive and aggressive
man. He looked far ahead and endeavoured in all his public acts to build well for the
future, and when he once outlined a plan of action he had the courage of his
convictions and hesitated not to express his views regardless of the favour
they might find with his audience. He
was satisfied to wait until time demonstrated the correctness of those
views. During the last few months of
his life he suffered intense agony, but bore it with a patience and fortitude
so strongly characteristic of his whole life, until death came to his relief
on the 7th inst. The
funeral took place from his late residence to St. Mary Magdalene church on
Sunday afternoon when the service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Dibb. The Masonic Order testified to the high
esteem in which he was held by them, by turning out in large numbers to pay
their last tribute of respect to his memory.
At the request of the deceased his brethren of Union Lodge performed

In the passing of Jehiel Aylsworth, Napanee loses one of the few remaining
citizens of the old school who have done so much to mould the destinies of

town of Napanee. He recollected when the mail was carried on horseback from
Montreal to Little York by a path through the woods. In his long life-time he
witnessed great changes in all this part of Ontario. The funeral took
place on Tuesday to the family burying ground at Violet. |

OBITUARY - John
Bell Aylesworth There were no
railways, but many forest trees in Upper Canada, when John Bell Aylesworth
began to breathe; he lived till there
were perhaps too many railways, and certainly too few trees. Near the centre
of Ernesttown Township, on the 10th of January, 1828, he was born
the second son of Ann MacGillivray and Job
Aylesworth. There were no telegraphs
then; and but few Doctors; no postage stamps; no envelopes, even; letter-sheets were folded so as to leave
space for the address; the folds were
sealed with wafers. The amount of the
postage depended upon the distance the letter was to go. Wolves howled through the woods; bears were
the bandits that plundered the settlers. Mr. Aylesworth’s mind was rich with oft told tales of his
boyhood, and of the Rebellion of 1837.
In 1843, he first saw Newburgh.
Part of his “schooling” he received in Newburgh Academy when the late
Rev. Dr. S. S. Nelles was Headmaster. Mr. Aylesworth was the first Assessor of
the Municipal Corporation of Newburgh (1859).
Afterward, during many years he served the same community as Municipal
Clerk, Councillor, Reeve, and member of the Academy Board of Education. His hard-working farmer-father’s
stay-at-home son was “John”; he had three brothers and three sisters, all of
whom he out-lived. For more than
fifty years he was Secretary Treasurer of Camden Township Agricultural Fair;
and throughout the greater part of the same long period Secretary Treasurer
of Addington County Agricultural Society also. For twelve years and upwards he was elected
one of the Directors of the Provincial Exhibition; and in 1881 President of the Ontario
Agricultural and Arts Association. He
was appointed a member of the Ontario Agricultural commission of 1882. In that year the Liberal Party of Addington
in convention nominated him, in his absence, as their candidate for the
Dominion Parliament. One might almost
say he was an hereditary Methodist, and Temperance man. For more than seventy years he was an official
of the Methodist Church. The last vote
he gave was for the Ontario Temperance Act; one of his sons carried him up
the steep stairs of the polling place, when, in April, 1921, he registered
his vote, being in his 94th year.
He was a member of the Grand Division Sons of Temperance; and of the Independent Order of Good Templars; also an
officer of the Dominion Grange; and
County President of the Patrons of industry;
as also of the Farmer’s Institute; and of the Lennox and Addington
Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
All his long life a farmer, his was the great joy of taking pride in
his employment and of deriving satisfaction there-from. He ploughed very many furrows; and he
always took pains to plough them straight. In 1858, he
married Catharine, daughter of John Wesley Bristol, of Lennox County. She died in 1897. Their children are: - Sir Allen, of Toronto; George Anson, of
Newburgh, and Emma Bell, wife of S. G. Chant, of Durham County. In 1899, the subject of this sketch married
Bertha, daughter of Peter Bristol of Napanee.
She survives him. His life may not
inaptly be said to have illustrated the text, - “Length of days
is in Her right hand, in Her left hand are riches and honor” - Prov. III:16 |

IN MEMORIAM -
John Sidney Aylesworth was born May 21st, 1846, on a farm one mile
from Odessa, being the youngest son in a family of eleven children. Their parents were of U. E. Loyalist
descent, being Robert Aylesworth and Hannah Fraser. John received his early education at Odessa
Academy, and was a clever student. At the age of
twenty he attended the School of Military Instruction, Kingston, receiving
his certificates in 1866. He recruited
a company in that year to assist in quelling the Fenian
Raid. For this he was granted script
for 166 acres in New Ontario, but he failed to claim the land. His great life
work, and the one he was most fitted for, was that of Civil engineering. He qualified in Toronto and joined the
Ontario land Surveyors’ Association on January 7th, 1871, and for
forty-six years he worked as such. He
was Drainage Engineer for some three or four townships in Lennox at different
times and did a great deal of private work.
No one came to him for help or advice that it was not given freely. He was a Liberal
in politics, and a Methodist in religion.
A strong, quiet, able man, who will be greatly missed in the home and
community. His brothers, sisters and
wife predeceased him by several years.
There are left to mourn his loss, two daughters, Mrs. Schuyler
Windover, Kingston, and Mrs. J. W. Humphrey, at home. Also one grandchild, Mrs. Kenneth Brebner, Newark, New Jersey. He fell asleep
on January 17th, 1928 and his funeral services were held from his
late residence in Richmond, to Selby United church, the Rev. Mr. Batstone officiating. There is no
flock, however watched and tended But one dead
lamb is there; There is no
fireside, howso’er defended, But has one
vacant chair. |

Died at his
residence, Bath, on Friday, April 20th, aged 93 years. He was born
in Ernesttown in 1813, and retained all his faculties until about six weeks
before his death. At that time, his mind and body began slowly to fail, and
he passed away very peacefully. In his long life, he was enabled to see the
unimportance of everything of an earthly nature, and was willing in his old
age to trust in God for strength and comfort. He was one of the old veterans
who served in the rebellion of 1837. His wife died four years ago. He leaves
one son, Lester Aylesworth, Bath, and two daughters, Mrs. White, Sillsville,
and Mrs. Purvis, Bath. The funeral service was conducted at his late
residence, on Sunday morning, in the presence of a large number of friends,
showing the respect in which deceased was held. |
