great shock to the relatives and wide circle of friends. Mrs. Alcombrack before her marriage
was Miss Helen Slade, a daughter of Capt. Slade, now residing in Montreal,
and the late Mrs. Slade. Before her
marriage she was a nurse and graduated at the Kingston General Hospital. She was exceptionally well-known and was

daughter, Miss Lorraine, nurse-in-training at the Kingston General Hospital,
a son James at home, her father, Capt. Slade of Montreal, a sister, Mrs.
Jones of Toronto, and a brother, James Slade, residing in the United States. A sister Gladys passed away a few years

Alcombrack passed to the Home beyond. Mrs. Alcombrack will be remembered by
many as Lydia Jane, daughter of Israel and Jane Stewart. She was married in
1876 to Wm. M. Alcombrack, of South Fredericksburgh, where they resided till
four years ago, when they removed to Toronto, and recently built a fine home
on Havelock St. For six years past, Mrs. Alcombrack has been confined to the
house, only leaving it when taken in a wheel chair, but in spite of her
invalidism, she was in every sense the mother of the home. Affectionate,
thoughtful, interested in everything, and looked up to by all the family for
advice and guidance. She 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 friends and neighbors. Mr. Israel
Stewart preceded his daughter in death by just three days. (**Written in -

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. |

Allard, Mrs.
M. (nee
Raciot) |
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. [signed] Edouard De Gruchy, Actonvale,

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

Albert |
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. |

Allen, James |
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.

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

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. Rev. William Shearer
being the officiating clergyman.

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 homestead; James in Portland, Oregon. In religion Mr. Allen was a member of the
Plymouth Brethren. The remains will be
deposited in the vault at Cataraqui cemetery until spring, when they will be
removed to Adolphustown for burial. Deceased
in early days, was a schoolmate in Adolphustown, of the late Sir John A.
Macdonald. United Empire Loyalist Dead Kingston, Ont., Jan. 10 - Mr. Parker

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. |

Allingham, John |
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 at Bowmanville, where he remained for a few years, and then moved to
Mornington where he remained till death.
Mr. Allingham was brought up in connection 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
from the dead. [signed] C. Hamilton. |

Allison was conducted on Saturday afternoon, December 7th at St. Alban's
Anglican Church, Adolphustown, by the rector of the church, Rev. C.C.
Brazill. Mrs. Allison's death occurred on Thursday, about three weeks after she
was stricken with apoplexy, from which it was at first thought she might
recover. Mrs. Allison was by birth and
marriage a member of two of the oldest families in the Township of
Adolphustown. She was formerly Amelia Elizabeth Membery, a daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Giles Membery, who came to the township from England, many
years ago. Her late husband, David Wright Allison, who died in 1906, was a
member of a pioneer family of the Bay of Quinte district and was twice a
member of the Dominion Parliament, representing Lennox and Addington. Although in her 88th year at the time
of her death, and afflicted for the past three years with blindness, Mrs.
Allison had been remarkably active until her last illness. Until recently she
had been engaged in knitting for the Red Cross and took a keen interest in
the events of the day. For the past few years she had as her companion her
daughter, Miss Mary L. Allison, a former member of the staff of Bishop
Strachan School, Toronto. Mrs. Allison is survived by her
daughter, Miss Mary L. Allison, and three sons, Dr. D.M. Allison, Camden,
N.Y., J.B. Allison, Postmaster of Napanee, and Ray J. Allison, of

unexpected. The funeral took place in St. Alban’s church and was conducted by
Rev. C.C. Brazill. Interment was in the family mausoleum. Four children are left to mourn her
loss. Dr. D.M. Allison, Camden, N.Y., John B. Allison, Napanee and Miss Mary

ANITA JENNIE 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. |

Allison, David
W. |
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.

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,

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 - At South Fredericksburgh, on Monday, March 31, 1902,
John R. Allison, aged 40 years, 11 months and 20 days. Death of John R. Allison The many friends of John R. Allison, South Fredericksburgh, will
be grieved to hear of his death, which took place on Monday evening. Deceased
was the only son of Mr. Cyrus R. Allison, and was a man well liked by all who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He had been ailing since the first of
February, but during the past four weeks had failed rapidly, the ailment
being pinicious anemia. Deceased was a comparatively young man, being in his
41st year. A wife and two daughters are left to mourn the loss of a kind and
loving husband and father. The funeral took place from his late residence on
Thursday morning, and was largely attended. Deceased carried $2,000 insurance
in the A.O.U.W. |

at Adolphustown, Joseph Benjamin Allison, in his 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. |

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

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

sixteen years ago, when they moved to Morven, where they have since resided.
Mr. Amey has been widely and favorably 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 grippe when it came around. His
sickness lasted nearly six weeks, and during that time he had not been so
hopeful and comfortable as during the last three or four days of his life. He
passed peacefully and quickly away at nine o'clock on Feb. 20th, being almost

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

MRS. F. ARMSTRONG - The death took place at her home at
Roblin, of Marguerite, beloved wife of Mr. Fred Armstrong, on Thursday
evening, April 14th. Her
passing came as a great shock to her many friends for although she had not
been in her usual health, her condition was not considered serious until two
days before her passing. She
contracted sore throat, which coupled with diabetes, soon took its toll. Nothing that medical skill or loving hands
could do could stay the dread disease.
Mrs. Armstrong, before her marriage was Marguerite Asselstine,
daughter of Mr. Whiting Asselstine, of Napanee, formerly of Asselstine’s
Hill. She was in her 32nd
year and had a very bright cheerful disposition and was greatly beloved by
all who knew her. Besides her
sorrowing husband she leaves four small children, Harold 13, Muriel 11, Helen
9, and Vera, 6 years of age. She also
leaves her father, one brother, William of Napanee, six sisters, Mr. J. F.

Alberta; Mrs. Ernest Kerr of Selby,
Ada and Anita, at home. The funeral
service was held on Saturday afternoon at Roblin Church and was conducted by

family. Throughout her life Mrs. Arnold had
taken a great interest in the better things of life and was a zealous worker
in the Methodist (now United) Church until advancing years caused her
retirement. She was exceptionally well known
throughout the Roblin and Westplain districts and leaves a wide circle of
friends. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold loved
home life and were very devoted to their family and the former has suffered a
sore bereavement in the death of his life partner. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold were united in marriage
on Jan. 1 in the year of Confederation, 1867, and the officiating minister
was Rev. John Clarke. Six children were born to Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold, a daughter having predeceased them. Besides Mr. Arnold there are one son and

Asselstine, Cyril J. |
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.

Asselstine, one of the well known and highly respected farmers of South

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. |

of Samuel N. Asselstine of Hawley. Being of a sunny 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 MINNEAPOLIS - Sad indeed
was the news received here Tuesday morning announcing the death of Maurice H.
Asselstine, son of Mr. Samuel N. Asselstine, South Fredericksburgh. Deceased,
who was in his 20th 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 so the elevator shot upwards. He attempted to
get inside again, but unfortunately was caught between the door and the upper
floor. He was 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 have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sad
bereavement.

Asselstine Michael |
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.

Asselstine, Minerva Ann (nee Parrott) |
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.

Wm. C. Asselstine The death of Wm. C. Asselstine in his
89th year, removes the youngest and last surviving member of a U.E. Loyalist
family. His father, Isaac Asselstine, for loyalty to the British Crown,
received a grant of land in the Township of King, not very far from Toronto,
this he sold and bought land from the government at the head of Hay Bay, in
the Township of South Fredericksburgh. Although of Dutch parentage and using
the Dutch language and Dutch Bible in the family during the early part of
their residence in this country, like many more of the same nationality, he
left his home in the land of the free
to enjoy the security and liberty that is always found where the British flag
is unfurled The original purchase was added to till the family owned a
valuable estate. This property has remained in the family for more than a
century and is now occupied by the fourth generation of the same name. The
family of five sons and two daughters all settled and prospered in this
county. Several of them located near Moscow and Wm. C. set down his stakes in
the corner of Camden, at what is known as Asselstines Hill, where he spent
many years of activity making for himself a comfortable and hospitable home,
and accumulating a nice property. When the burden of years forced him to
resign his active business life, he retired to the town of Napanee to enjoy
the fruits of his toil, where he was carefully cared for by his daughter
Delia. His family are all worthy and respected, members of society. Whitney

AYLESWORTH – At Hotel Dieu Hospital,
Kingston, on Friday October 8th, 1909, Jehiel Aylesworth, aged 72
years. Death of Jehiel 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 their beautiful ceremony over
his grave. 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 our town. |

Aylesworth, John
Bell |
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”

Sidney |
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. |
