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.	June 11 1934 Kingston Whig Standard
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 26^th 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.

Allen, Clarence Secord	CLARENCE S. ALLEN - A very sad death occurred at Kingston General Hospital in the early hours of evening, on Tuesday, March 24^th, 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 26^th, 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.	1931 Scrapbook Clipping

Allen, George 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 19^th 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 1^st chap. 23 and 24^th 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.

Allen, Isaac Capt.	SAD ACCIDENT – On Wednesday afternoon, last, March 25^th, 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.	Mar 29 1874 From the Watson Scrapbooks

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.	Oct 4 1889 Napanee Express

Allen (Allan) John Henry	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.

Allen, Parker,J. P. Photo	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.

Allen, R. B.	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 87^th 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.	Apr 1 1935 Kingston Whig Standard

Allison, Anita Jennie	ANITA JENNIE ALLISON - Born Feb 5^th 1895, died Jan 11^th, 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. SAD DEATH AT ADOLPHUSTOWN - The whole circuit of Adolphustown and many persons beyond were shocked and saddened by the knowledge of the death of J. Anita Allison, youngest daughter of the late Roderick Allison. The best medical assistance that could be procured was called to the sick bed, and after they had done their best to relieve the trouble the death messenger entered the room and Anita "was not for he took" her. She died at 6 a.m., on Saturday, Jany. 11^th, 1908, at the age of 12 years and 11 months and was laid to rest in the Mausoleum adjoining Allison's wharf, erected by the late David W. Allison, to await the resurrection day. The funeral was a very large one; friends of all denominations in the neighborhood and far beyond, were present to manifest their sorrow for the departed, and their sympathy with the mother, sister and other near relatives. The service was conducted by Rev. W.S. Boyce, who preached from John 13, 7. "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." By her innocence, sweet spirit and entertaining ways, Anita had won for herself a wide circle of friends, and with her death much sunshine has gone from her school-mates and the home. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out on behalf of Mrs. Margaret Allison, the mother; Amy Allison, the sister, and Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Allison and Mr. and Mrs. James L. Loyst, the grandfathers and grandmothers; for the grief which is more especially theirs, and that the dear Master in his own good time may take us to that home where parting is no more.	1908 From the Hough Scrapbooks.

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.

Allison, Henry Hoover	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.	Nov 14 1902 Napanee Beaver Nov 14 1902 Napanee Express Nov 17 19902 Daily British Whig

Allison, John Roderick Photo	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 31^st , 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.

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 17^th, 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 29^th 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 6^th of June, in the 65^th 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.

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.	Sept 26 1894 Daily British Whig

Mr. Asselstine was born just across the road from his late home and spent his entire life in the community.

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.

To them the remembrance of her self-forgetful motherly goodness, remains a revealed religion.	Nov 26 1897 Napanee Beaver

Aylesworth, Jehiel	AYLESWORTH – At Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston, on Friday October 8^th, 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 7^th 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.	1909 From the Watson Scrapbooks

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 10^th 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 94^th 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	Dec 30 1921 Napanee Beaver
Aylesworth John Sidney	IN MEMORIAM - John Sidney Aylesworth was born May 21^st, 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 7^th, 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 17^th, 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.	1928 Scrapbook Clipping

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.
