DESECRATING THE GRAVE THE BODY OF AN OLD LADY STOLEN FROM THE CEMETERY TORONTO, Ontario, Feb. 14. - On Saturday last,
Mrs. Peter Woodcock, of North Fredericksburgh, mother of the Rev. Eli Gilbert
and Nelson Woodcock, died at the advanced age of 94 years and 11 months. Her remains were buried on Sunday last in
the cemetery adjoining Bethany Church, and on Monday night the body was
stolen. Immediately upon the
desecration being discovered every endeavor was put forth by the family to
discover the thieves but as yet no trace of the remains has been
obtained. Monday evening a gentleman
saw two men in the vicinity of the burying ground, their horse being tied to
the fence. it
is supposed these parties committed the deed.
One of the sons of the deceased lady went to Kingston on Wednesday to
search the medical college, but without success. The family feel
very badly over the matter. It is stated that the body of Alexander Babcock,
a pauper who died recently in jail, has been stolen from the Napanee
Cemetery, and rumors are afloat regarding similar depredations at other
burial grounds in the neighborhood.
The general belief is that the desecration is the work of American
students, whose operations are facilitated by the ease with which they can
cross the river in the Winter. |

Baird, Mrs. Wm. M. |
Obituary - Mrs. Wm. M. Baird It is but seldom that the quiet community of
Anderson is stirred by anything out of the usual, but on Monday, the 23rd
March, 1925, Mrs. W.M. Baird, who for upwards of 50 years had been an
honoured and beloved resident in the locality, passed away. She lived to the ripe old age of nearly 88 years.
This in a measure is not to be wondered at, for while trouble is more or less
the common lot of all people, Mrs. Baird, for more than half a century had
been visited time and again with many serious afflictions, sufficient to
break up many a more robust one. Mrs. Baird, whose first husband died in Glasgow,
Scotland, was left with three small children all alone in that far off land.
Her parents were in Canada and naturally her thoughts turned this way, and
being a woman of outstanding courage, she gathered her wee bairns around her
and started for this land. Arriving here she settled down within two miles of
the spot where she died. In the course of time she married Mr. W. M.
Baird, of Anderson, a union which proved in every way a blessing to
themselves and it overflowed to enrich the whole countryside. The dark cloud
again settled down on this brave little woman, when again she was widowed for
the second time, for after a lingering illness, Mr. Baird passed away. As is often said, "Every rose had its
thorn", so every night has its day, and while our heroine was so sorely
bereft, she was now surrounded by her children, all of whom could and did
comfort their sorrowing mother. The children are Mrs. John Joyce, of Napanee;
Mr. James Cuthill and Mr. W.W. Baird, and Mr. Sam Baird (stepson) of Napanee. The recent years of her life has been shadowed by
much serious affliction. Many times of late her life has been despaired of, but
her time had not yet come, and in a slight way she revived. The grim monster,
however, was not to be defeated, for he had laid his hungry hands upon her
and seven months ago she was again laid low. Speculation did not believe that there could be
sufficient vim and will to over-ride this storm, for when one would look at
such a frail bark, truly there did not appear to be anything to build upon,
but there was a stubborn physical resistance hidden away in that beautiful
and delicate form that no eye could see. It was however now apparent to all
that a great challenge was made to kindness, tenderness and medical
watchfulness, and none of these things were lacking. Mr. and Mrs. W. Baird secured the services of
Nurse Menor, who for seven long weary months, day
and night, watched with loving and tender vigil, responding to every call,
with all the thought and patience of which human nature is capable. Her
bedside was constantly brightened by the presence of her children and
grandchildren, all of whom she dearly loved. A wide range of neighbours and
friends were ever calling and enquiring as to her welfare. The last few
hours, however, threatened to be unusually painful both to patient and
children, when the family physician, Dr. Stratton, was summoned, and for hours
he sat by the bedside, watching and treating his patient, with the result
that Mrs. Baird passed away like a child falling to sleep, to the express
comfort of all. On Wednesday the funeral took place in Anderson
Church. The crowd was immense, the feeling of respect for the deceased was
intense, the sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved
was sincere and cordial. The Anderson Choir sang very sweetly the selection,
"Does Jesus Care". The Pastor, Rev. W. H. Truscott, conducted the
service. Had it not been for sickness, the Rev. A. J. Wilson would have
assisted, but he was called away. The remains were taken to Morven and were
borne to the grave by Messrs. Parks, Baldwin, Sills, Card, Nugent and Moore. |

Wednesday, Sept 29, at his home on the corner of Bridge and Eyre streets,
Picton, of Amos Henry Baker.
Forty-four years ago Mr. Baker was born in Deseronto. His father was the late Richard H. Baker, a
well known grain dealer of Deseronto and his mother was a sister of Amos
Richardson, M.P.P., of Deseronto and James Richardson, turnkey of the Picton
gaol. Mr. Baker was the only
child. He leaves to mourn his loss his
wife Amelia Walmsley, daughter of the late William Walmsley of Picton, and an

Baker came to Picton twenty-five or twenty-six years ago. He came here in the employ of the Rathbun
Co. and was book keeper under their agent, Mr. Jacob Johnson, at Lake’s
wharf. After some years he severed his
connections with Rathbuns and took a position as
book keeper with Mr. A. W. Hepburn. He
was with Hepburns until about seventeen years ago
when he purchased the livery business of Mr. L. T. Vonce. Some fifteen years ago he went into
partnership with Mr. George Sexsmith in the grain brokerage business. The firm was engaged extensively in buying
for Richardsons of Kingston. Besides the grain business, Mr. Baker was
extensively interested during this time in many private enterprises of a more
or less speculative nature. He was
also agent for the Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte Navigation Co. in Picton
for many years. When the Homestead
Canning factory was started some three or four years ago by the Richardsons, Mr. Baker was made manager and this position
he held till the time of his death The
funeral will take place on Friday.

MRS. W.S. BAKER - NEWBURG, Sept. 26 - This district mourns the loss
of a well-known and highly respected resident in the person of Mrs. W. S.
Baker, whose death took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Clancy. Although she had not been in the best of
health for some months, her passing was very sudden. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
William Sexsmith of Wesley and by her kindly disposition won the esteem of a
wide circle of friends. Practically
all her life she had been a faithful member of the Wesley United Church and
was particularly interested in the work of the women’s Missionary Society and
the Ladies Aid Society. During the few years she resided in Newburg, she
attended the local church. She had
intended coming to Newburg in the near future to spend the winter at her
home. Just two weeks ago she was in
the village and opened her home. She
leaves to mourn her loss five sisters, Mrs. Wesley McGill of Newburg, Mrs.
Eliza Fitzgerald of Flint, Mich., Mrs. Robert McGill of Centreville, Mrs.
Martha Detlor of Arden and Mrs. Robert Nugent of Wesley; also a brother Edward Sexsmith of
Wesley. There are also several nephews
and nieces. The funeral service was held at the Wesley United
Church and was in charge of Rev. E. F. Swayne. The large attendance and the beautiful
floral tributes evidenced the esteem in which she was held. Interment was made in the family plot,
Camden V. Cemetery. The pall-bearers
were six nephews, Harold Nugent, S. E. Winter, Roy McGill, George McGill,
Henry Eves and James Alexander. During the service Mr. and Mrs. Ward Wartman
sang, “The Old Rugged Cross.” A

visiting with Mrs. Baker. |

Baker, Whitford S. |
Whitford S. Baker - One hundred and twenty-five
years ago, Peter Baker, the grandfather of Whitford S. Baker moved into
Camden and settled on the farm recently vacated by the deceased in the 5th
Con. of Camden. After the
grandfather’s death, the eldest son, Jacob M. Baker, with his wife, nee Mahala
Ann Collier, continued on the farm.
Here also after his father, W. S. Baker lived until, in the fall of
1926, owing to ill health, he sold the farm and moved into the village of
Newburgh. In 1902, he married Louise
Sexsmith, daughter of William Sexsmith of the same neighbourhood. In early youth, Mr. Baker united with the
Methodist Church at Wesley and continued a member of the same and the United
Church until his death. All his life,
Mr. Baker maintained the Family Altar in his home. After moving to Newburgh he seemed to
improve considerably in healthy, so that his friends hoped that by resting
from the strenuous life of active farming he might be spared to live many
years. However, the will of the Lord
was not so, for very suddenly after only a brief illness he was not for God
took him on Nov 27th 1927.
The funeral service was held in the U. C., Newburgh on Tuesday, Nov.
29th, conducted by his Pastor, Rev. T. H. P. Anderson. A very large gathering of his former
friends and neighbours was present. Interment

children born to him, await the Resurrection morning. There are left to mourn, his widow, one
brother, A. C. Baker of Napanee, and one sister, Mrs. R. B. Price of Camden. A quiet unassuming man, industrious and a
good neighbour, a faithful member of the Church of God, his presence will be
missed, but his life and memory will continue a benediction to all who knew
him intimately. |

patient Christian spirit. While
apparently so weak her wonderful energy kept her up, and she was able to

16th October, after which the remains were laid to rest in the
family pot, Selby. The floral

BALLANCE - In Deseronto, April 13, Mrs. Robert
Ballance, sister of Mr. Fred Newman, Picton. OBITUARY - MRS. ROBERT BALLANCE Mrs. Balance, a resident of Deseronto for about
three years, passed away at her home on Monday, April 13th. Mrs. Balance, who had not enjoyed good
health for some considerable time, had, however, been confined to her bed but
for a short time. Born at Colebrooke, her maiden name was
Newman. She received her education
from Newburgh Academy after which she taught school for some time. In the year 1885 she was married to Mr.
Robert Ballance, who predeceased her nine years ago. All of their married life was spent in or
near Selby. Surviving are her four daughters, Misses Florence
and Vera, former teachers at Cherry Valley and Picton who lived with their
mother, Mrs. Aylsworth, of Madoc, and Mrs. W. H. Smith, of Schenectady, N.Y.;
all of whom were with her at the time of her death. Four sisters also survive, Mrs. Loan, Mrs.
Sawyer and Miss Augusta Newman, all of 512 Hamlin St., Watertown, N.Y.; and
Mrs. Jas. McCormick, of Switzerville.
One brother, Mr. Fred Newman, of Picton, is also living. Mrs. Ballance had made many warm friends and was
loved by all who knew her. Though she
suffered much at times, she never allowed her physical condition to disturb
her bright wit or to cast a shadow over her cheery face. Always it was a pleasure to visit this
charming lady and the place now left vacant by her death will be felt, not
only by her immediate family, who have the sympathy of the community at this
time, but by all who were privileged to know her. |

DIED - In this town on the 11th
instant, MRS NANCY BARTLET, consort of SMITH BARTLET Esq. in the 36th
year of her age. A gradual decline, of
nearly two years, terminated her active and useful life. On the 14th her remains were
attended to the place of interment, by the inhabitants of the town generally,
with every mark of sympathy and respect. Mrs. Bartlet possessed
a sensible and discriminating mind engaging manners and ready vivacity. With versatile powers and inflexible
perseverance, she accomplished more in half the allotted term of life, than
the less ardent and energetic, in the full period of three score years and
ten. An exemplary wife and a devoted
mother in the domestic circle she shone pre-eminently. There her affections and her virtues
centered. There “her duties walked
their daily round.” For her family,
her exertions were unwearied. To them
her thoughts and her attentions were dedicated, and even the alternate
prevalence of hope and fear, arising from the variable nature of her disease,
could scarcely abate her solicituded for those who
were most dear. For them she had
lived; and in the affection of her husband and the fair promise of her
children, her heart was reaping its reward.
Thus blest and blessing, she was summoned to resign this life and all
its endearments and most flattering prospects. A humble trust in a reconciled God enabled
her to receive the summons with submission, and to meet the king of terrors
without dismay. |

Bartlett, Charles E. |
Obituary - Chas. E. Bartlett One of Napanee's most progressive merchants and most
highly esteemed citizens passed away on Monday evening last of consumption.
His death was not unexpected, as he had been very low for some days and has
not been in good health for about a year and had been gradually failing.
Deceased was born in Kingston 42 years ago, spending most of his early days
at his father's farm in Adolphustown. About 35 years ago the family moved to
Napanee, where his father became a well-known builder and contractor. About
26 years ago he married Miss Della Blewett,
daughter of the late James Blewett who, with his
family of eight children, remain to mourn his
untimely death. Deceased had for a long number of years carried on a grain
business in Napanee, also dealing in hogs. Some years ago he purchased the
coal business formerly carried on by Thos. Stewart, which he has since
conducted. He was also largely interested in the cheese business, having
several factories in this vicinity, also in farming. In politics he was a
Conservative and in religion a member of the Church of England. The funeral
took place on Wednesday afternoon at 2.30 to the church of St. Mary Magdalene
and from there to the eastern cemetery. The services in the church were
conducted by Rev. Rural Dean Jarvis, assisted by the surpliced
choir. The church was filled with friends and relatives of the deceased, who
came to pay their last respects to the dead. The members of the two Oddfellow
Lodges in Napanee and the members of the A.O.U.W. Lodge attended the funeral
in a body, showing their respect for their deceased brother. After the
services in the church the remains were placed on the lawn of the church,
where the beautiful and solemn funeral service of the Oddfellows was
performed by the Noble Grand and Chaplain of Napanee Lodge, No. 86, Mr. W.A.
Frizzell and Rev. W.W. Peck, the members of the order forming a circle round
the casket and assisting. Many floral tributes testified to the respect and
esteem entertained for the deceased. Mr. Bartlett's two brothers, Mr. Fred
Bartlett, of Peterborough, and Mr. Albert Bartlett, of Rochester, were also
present at the funeral. By the death of Mr. Bartlett half of the debt of the
English church will be paid, as Mr. Bartlett was one of those whose lives
were insured by the church for that purpose. |

JUSTICE BASS - Brother Justice Bass was born on
the 25th of November, 1818, and died on the 24th day of
January, 1887, leaving an aged widow, and a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn their loss. He spent
the greater part of his life in the township of Augusta, where he was much
respected by all classes of the people.
Like his brother James, whose obituary notice appeared in the CHRISTIAN GUARDIAN, January 6th, he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Augusta for over fifty years.
He lived a life in Christ so true and pure, that one might follow him
through this life as he followed his Master, not simply in form, but with
strong faith in Christ; having believed for many years that true happiness is
found only in Christ, he had great peace and was not disappointed when death
came. He successfully held the office
of steward in the church for several years, until his son, J. W. Bass,
entered into his labors. He lived to see nearly all his children converted
and members of the Methodist Church.
His death was sudden. He
retired to rest on Saturday evening, January 22nd, as well as
usual; on the following Monday morning he was numbered with the dead. On being reminded that he was very ill and
it was probable that death would soon release him from his sufferings, he
said; “I am ready to go any minute.”
He died trusting in Christ. At
his funeral a large number of people gathered in the Methodist Church showing
their sympathy for the bereaved and their respect for the deceased. [signed]

bravery were recognized by his winning the D. C. M. The funeral took place from S. Alban’s

Bell, Aylsworth Perry Bowen |
OBITUARY - Aylsworth Perry Bowen Bell. The subject of this sketch, Aylsworth Perry Bowen
Bell, was born in the Township of Camden, County of Addington, Ont., on the
farm now owned by Alfred M. Bell on the last day of November, 1840. He has always lived near his birthplace,
with exception of the past three years, which he spent with his children in
the Canadian West and in Michigan. He
was the seventh son of John and Sarah Bell, who both predeceased him. There was a large family of children, eight
sons and four daughters, and “Bowen” as he was familiarly know, was the last
to pass out. Mr. Bell was married to Thressa Breault, of Camden on
July 3rd 1864, thus they celebrated their golden wedding more that a year and a half ago. To this union was born six sons and three
daughters. Besides one boy who died in
infancy, there have also passed to their reward, Amelia in 1906, and Seymour
in 1910, thus leaving besides the heartbroken widow, who also is striken in years, four sons, Elwell,
of Napanee; Wellington of Saskatchewan; Rev. E. Frazer of Freemont,
Mich.; Rev. Aylsworth B., of Buffalo
Centre, Iowa, and two daughters, Bathilda and
Edith, also of Saskatchewan. Mr. Bell
has always been a consistent member of the Methodist Church, having been
converted in his youth at revival meetings held at Lynn, by his brother, Rev.
J. D. Bell. He was educated at
Newburgh Academy, graduating from there with a second class teachers certificate when he was 19 years of age. He taught school for several years before
settling upon his farm at Wesley. Mr.
Bell is a man who is widely known and highly respected by all, old and young
and will be mourned by a wide circle of friends. He was a hardworking and dutiful father and
a faithful husband, and will be missed by one and all. Truly we can say of him, “Thou shalt be
missed because thy place will be vacant.” No task was too hard and no sacrifice too
great for him if the happiness of his family were concerned, and while we
miss father and mourn him as gone from us, yet we can only remember that the
Good Gardener has just seen fit to transplant our loved one in that great
expanse where he may develop and grow in happiness and felicity throughout
eternity. And so while we say sadly, “good-bye
father”, yet we also add, your life was an
inspiration to us to live, so as to meet you with all our loved ones in that
better land. Mr. Bell passed away
December 24th, 1915, at his home in Napanee. Funeral took place there from on Sunday
Dec. 26th at 2 o’clock.
Thus all that is mortal of one we loved has been bid away, but his
memory shall be green as long as we live, for form the sundown of his long
and useful life shall remain that beautiful afterglow that will lighten the
pathway of many a way-worn traveller. |

Bell, Mrs. John Albert (nee Lloyd) |
Obituary - Mrs. John Albert Ball It is with sorrow that we report the death of
Mrs. John Albert Bell, which took place at her home, on Tuesday evening, Dec.
28th, 1926, following a brief illness. She was the daughter of godly parents,
namely, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Lloyd, who were devoted members of the Wesleyan
Methodist church. It was on July 9th, 1854, in North Fredericksburgh
Township, that she was born into this Christian home, surrounded with the
atmosphere of a living and vital religion in her parents' lives. It is not
surprising that at the early age of 9 years, she experienced a new found joy
in her own conversion and consecration to Jesus Christ as her Saviour, and in
His service she continued with all diligence to add to her knowledge, virtue,
grace and godliness. In the year 1879, she was united in marriage to
Mr. John Albert Bell. This proved to be a most happy union of two lives consecrated
to their Saviour's service, and continued to
strengthen through their varied experiences of 47 years of married life. In
part perhaps this was due to the fact that during their courtship days, she
by her Christian influence, won him to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Thus one in heart, life and ideals, they walked the way of life most
happily together. However, on Tuesday evening, December 28th, this happy bond
was broken; our consolation is "She is not for God took her" -
"Servant of God well done, Thy glorious warfare's past, The battle's fought, the race is won, And thou art crowned at
last." From her earliest years she manifested a zealous
desire to follow in the paths of righteousness and thus pressing on in this
way developed a noble, pure and beautiful character, which eventually brought
forth much fruit in strenuous and untiring labours for the church of her
choice. For many years she has been an ardent supporter of Christian
stewardship of her means, time and personality. This explains why she was always
willing, not only to be a member of our Women's Missionary Society, Ladies'
Aid, Sunday School and class, but an energetic leader and worker in all our
church enterprises. She was one to whom we could look in our problems for
wise counsel and guidance. Her restless activity and youthfulness of spirit
made us feel that she was younger than years would say. But now her voice is
silent and her heart and hands are at rest. Is it possible for such a life to
cease without it being most sadly missed? No. In her
home her saintly influence counted greatly through all the years, as a true
helpmate to her husband and a loving mother to her children. Though not too
robust in health, yet she maintained a spirit of cheerfulness that was an
inspiration to her husband, children and grandchildren, who will remember her
with loving hearts, for her devoted and unselfish life, her
large-heartedness, and wise counsels. The funeral service, conducted by her Pastor, was
very largely attended and was very fittingly held in the Brick Church,,
Morven, being the place of worship that her father helped to build over fifty
years ago; also for the reason that ever since her childhood, it has been her
church home, and very rarely was she absent from the Sunday School, Class, or
public worship in this church when she was physically able to be present. Her
regularity in attending and attentiveness to the preaching of the gospel has
always been an inspiration to her Pastor. She will be greatly missed, not only in her home,
but from our church and kindred societies, also from the circle of our
neighbourhood, for we feel that every phase of our community life has been
enriched by her life. Of her immediate relatives, he leaves to mourn
her loss, her husband, Mr. John Albert Bell, and one daughter, Mrs. Clarence
Sharp, and her grandchildren; also two sisters, Mrs. Sam Bell and Mrs. M.N.
Empey. |

Bennett, Bertha E. (nee Hawley) |
Late Bertha E. Bennett - Passed away Jan. 24th at the early age of 29
years, Bertha E. Bennett, only daughter of A.W. Hawley, of North
Fredericksburgh, and beloved wife of James G. Bennett of Kingston. Her
disease, consumption, threatened seriously over a year ago, and for change of
climate she was taken to Michigan to spend the summer with her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Drury. She still failed in health, and, in October, returned to Canada
to gradually fade away. In youth she experienced the saving power, lived an
earnest Christian life, and during her illness was patient and resigned to
the heavenly will. Nearly six years ago she was married to J.G. Bennett, then
of Toronto. During her stay in Kingston she made a host of friends, and no
enemies. She many times desired to be at rest, and was ready at any moment to
slip her hand in the great palm of a loving Saviour, and cross the dark
river, which, when she had stepped in, mysteriously became "only a
little brook." A few hours before she died, she said, "Do they
think I am dying? I wish I was; I am so happy. I see all the good things
before me now." Shortly after,
she crossed the river, very calmly, without a struggle, to pillow her head on
the bosom of her Father, who she loved and served so well. She leaves a
sorrowing husband and a bright little boy of three years to mourn for a
loving and kind wife and a gently and considerate mother. Bennett - At South Fredericksburgh, on Jan 26th,

Betzner, David |
DAVID BETZNER - Was respected and esteemed by all
who knew him. He was a good man of
varied talents and industrious beyond many, and had saved quite a
competency. He knew how to get, he
knew how to save, and he knew how to give, and that is what few do know. His ancestors came from Germany to
Pennsylvania, and his parents were among the earliest settlers in Waterloo
county, in Canada. David was born in
1801, and was the first white child born in that county. His ancestors were Tankers, and he was
converted at an early age and united with that church. About thirty years ago he united with the New
Connexion Methodist at Copetown. From that time he was known far and near as
the ministers’ friend. How many have
enjoyed the hospitality of his home and the cheer of his Christian counsel
and liberality. Though living to a
great age, he retained all his faculties of body till the last. He retained
the cheer and vivacity of youth even down to old age. His last sickness was protracted and
painful, but he never murmured, and often spoke of his joy and trust in the Saviour.
Many who read those lines will be saddened at the loss of an old
familiar friend. He passed away on
March 16th, 1886, at the ripe old age of 85 years, two months and
seven days. His remains were borne to
their resting place by his five sons and a nephew, who are walking in his footsteps. A large concourse of friends and
acquaintances met to pay a tribute of respect to his memory, while we
endeavoured to discourse upon Prov. xxii 1, he having made this better
choice. |

Bogart, D.D. |
The Late D.D. Bogart - We copy the following from the Belleville
Intelligencer, Mr. Bogart having many friends in this city: A very general feeling of sorrow has been
occasioned by the death of the late D.D. Bogart, who, as an old resident of
Belleville, and one who had done much to improve and beautify the town, was
esteemed and honored by many even of those who knew him by name only. Mr.
Bogart, who was a son of the late Abraham Bogart of Adolphustown, was 67
years old. He came to Belleville about 28 years ago, and was one of the
pioneers in the lumber trade. For several years he carried on a large
business, in partnership with his brother, Abraham and Cornelius, in the
steam saw mill on the island, which was erected by them. Some years ago he
left that business and engaged largely in building operations, putting up the
Post office block, the block opposite the Town Hall, a large double house,
near his own residence, and in addition began the erection of the
Metropolitan hall and Consolidated Bank. All these buildings are of the most
excellent character, evincing the taste, liberality and enterprise of their
proprietor, besides which their construction has largely benefitted the town
by arousing an emulative spirit in those intending to build, and so greatly
improving the character of the structures since built here. Deceased was a
man who was universally respected in the town and country about, wherever known. He was of a retiring disposition, and never, so far
as we are aware, was even a candidate for any office in the gift of the
people, though often solicited to become so. He was an adherent of the Free
Church, in the affairs of which he took a lively interest; and contributed
largely towards the Church improvements made a few years ago. The record left
by Mr. Bogart is that of an enterprising and honorable man. Would that others
who survive him might prove as true friends to the town and apply their means
as usefully. |

Bogart, David Ford (Rev. Canon) |
Canon Bogart of Belleville, Dead – After a long
patiently borne illness, the Rev. Canon David Ford Bogart passed away at his
home on Commercial Street, Belleville, on Thursday, Nov 19th. Prior to the closing of St. John’s Church
on Murney’s hill a little over two years ago, his
health had not been of the best and it was owing to his indisposition in the
main that services in that church were discontinued. He had had a slight stroke. Recently he was confined to his home. A pathetic feature of his demise is that he
leaves a widow who is herself an invalid.
Rev. Canon Bogart was born in Brockville seventy-three years ago. He was educated at Upper Canada College and
Trinity University; Toronto, at both of which institutions he distinguished
himself in studies and on the campus, having been captain of the U.C.C.
cricket team and also of that at Trinity, proceeded to the degree of M.A. and
was ordained deacon in 1865 and to the priesthood in 1866. He first ministered at Tetley and became
curate to his brother, Rev. James John Bogart, then parish priest at Napanee,
but now the Venerable Archdeacon Bogart of Ottawa. Later he became incumbent of Selby and
Salmon River and in 1883 became rector of St. John’s Anglican Church in West
Belleville. Here he was the second and
last rector, as he occupied the pulpit until the sanctuary was closed. The late Canon Bogart was known to all
classes of citizens and his prolonged illness had called forth many
expressions of deep regret. His widow
whose illness has been of even longer duration has the deepest sympathy of
the public. Canon Bogart is not
survived by any family. He leaves two
nephews, Clarence Bogart, general manager of the Dominion Bank, and Mortimer
Bogart of the Dominion Bank, Montreal.
An intimate cousin of deceased is Mr. Beverly Jones, solicitor for the
Canada Permanent Loan and Savings Co.
Canon Bogart’s funeral was held on Saturday, Nov 21st in
St. Thomas’ church. Interment at
Brockville. |

BOGART - At Gosport, on Monday, Dec. 24th, 1888,
Lewis Lazier Bogart, aged 84 years, 11 months and 6 days. Death of Mr. L.L. Lazier (sic), Playmate of the Premier One of the Last of the Survivors of the Original
U.E. Loyalists - A Man Who Was Long Lived and Who Was Universally Esteemed -
He was Well-to-do Lewis Lazier Bogart died at his late residence at
Gosport on Dec. 24th. He was one of the last of the first generation of
descendants of the U.E. Loyalists in this section, his father being one of
the company who landed at Adolphustown in 1776, over
a century ago. He was born within a mile of the place where he lived, having
purchased and settled with his bride, Elizabeth Cronk, over 53 years ago, and
by industry and frugality hewed out for himself a comfortable home and
accumulated considerable property, the most of which he had already given to
his family, retaining only sufficient to keep him comfortable in his old age.
He was one of a large family of eleven children, five of whom were older and
five younger than himself. He outlived them all, though most of them were
given a long life. His grandfather was in his 87th years, grandmother 93, his
father 82, mother nearly 102 years. Four of his brothers passed three score
and fifteen years, one nearly four score. He possessed a splendid
constitution, was never sick, and in regard to build and physique was a
perfect type of man, and might have lived many years had it not been for his
ambition and desire to perform work beyond his strength, which brought a cold
with congestion and inflammation which ended fatally. He had only three
children, the late Mortimer C. Bogart, Mrs. J.B. McMullen and Marshall
Bogart. His widow survives him. He was a consistent member of the Methodist
church for over half a century, and class leader in the church he helped to
build, and took such an interest in for over twenty-five years. He was a
conservative in politics, being a playmate and friend of Sir John A
Macdonald. He always supported his party, and always persistently declined
being mixed up in municipal politics or being honored with municipal office.
He was universally esteemed, and was widely known outside of his own county.
His life was one of peace and good will toward man, and his death just what
he long prayed for, that he might not suffer long. His funeral was largely
attended on Thursday by sorrowing relatives and sympathetic friends, the
funeral sermon being preached by Rev. F.E. Howard, and the remains conveyed
to the VandeBogart vault. |

Bogart, Mary (nee Lazier) |
A telegram from Napanee, Canada, records the
death, near that place, on the 30th ult., of Mrs. Mary Bogart, at the age of 102
years. She was one of the first settlers, having settled in Adolphustown in
1790, and ever since has made that her home. She was born in New Jersey. For
the last two years, her friends have celebrated her birthday by giving a
picnic. At the last celebration about 1,000 people were present, some coming
from Chicago, Ill., and other distant places. Mrs. Mary Bogart, of Adolphustown, Canada, died
recently, aged over 100 years. Two of her sons died of old age. Her maiden
name was Lazier, and she was born at Tappan, on the Hudson River. MRS. BOGART - Our readers will join with us in
regretting the death of the venerable Mrs. Bogart, of Adolphustown. Up to the time of her death Mrs. Bogart,
though of the great age of 101 years and 5 months, retained the use of all
her senses, and finally passed away very suddenly. She leaves a numerous
circle of relatives, about 150, we understand, to mourn her decease,
including children, grand-children and great-grand-children. She was one of the first settlers, having located
in Adolphustown in the year 1780, and ever since made that her home. She was born in New Jersey, near New York,
while it was yet a British Province.
For the last two years her friends and relations have celebrated her
birthday by giving a grand pic-nic. At
the last celebration about one thousand people were present, some coming from
Chicago, Ill., and other distant places.
-Intelligencer, Jan. 31 Death of a Centenarian - We have just learned
with regret that Mrs. Bogart, of Adolphustown died on Friday morning at the
residence of her son, Lewis Bogart, Esq., aged 101 years and 6 months. The
extreme age and the large family connections of Mrs. Bogart have made her
name, for years past, well known far beyond the limits of this county. We
believe there are now about 150 of her posterity living. Until the last few
days her health remained quite good, though, since she passed her one
hundredth birthday, the weight of her many years
bore heavily upon her, and her strength and vigour
rapidly declined. G. Bogart, Esq., Postmaster of this town and the Rev. G.M.
Meacham, Wesleyan Minister, are grand-children of hers. The funeral will take
place at the Wesleyan Church, Casey's Point, on Sunday next at 11 a.m. - Napanee Beaver. |

BOGART – At the residence of her son, Mr. Peter Bogart,
Napanee, on the 27th Dec, 1889, Mrs. Phoebe Bogart, Napanee,
relict of the late John Bogart aged 79 years. DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT - On Monday morning last
Mrs. Phoebe Bogart, relict of the late John Bogart, of Adolphustown, died at
the residence of her son, Peter Bogart, Esq., Bridge street, Napanee. She was
ailing but a very short time, merely complaining with a cold and was not
considered at all dangerous until Sunday, so that the news of her death came
as an unpleasant surprise to both friends and relatives. Deceased was a
daughter of the late Archibald Campbell, Esq., one of the pioneers of
Adolphustown. She was born in the township and has always resided there; was
married to her late husband in the year 1826. She was the mother of eight children,
all of whom survive her; three of her sons live in Napanee - Gilbert Bogart
Esq., postmaster; Peter Bogart, Esq., and Mr. James Bogart, of the registry
office. She was aged 78 years and 11 months at the time of her death, having
survived her husband 11 years. Deceased has long been a faithful and
consistent member of the Methodist Church of Canada and was highly respected
for her piety and many Christian virtues. She was widely known, especially in
the township of Adolphustown, and it is safe to say that none was more
generally esteemed. For the last few years she has lived at the homestead, at
what is known as Bogart's wharf, during the summer months, and during the
winter with her children in Napanee. Her remains were interred in the family
plot at the homestead, and the funeral was attended by a large number of
relatives and sympathising friends, who drove a
long distance through the piercing cold to pay the last sad homage of respect
to the deceased. |

A Hero's Departure The Late Philip D. Booth - A Man of Great Enterprise
- His Political Career The Napanee Beaver says the many friends of
Philip D. Booth, of Odessa will regret to learn of his death, which occurred
on October 25th. Deceased was born at Mill Haven in 1814, where he spent his
boyhood days. He took up his abode in Odessa when it was merely a settlement.
He did a flourishing business in his grist and saw mills up to within a few
years ago. He was a member of the Township Council for nearly 25 years, and
most of these years a member of the County Council, and served his term as
Warden. The burial service was held in Christ's Church, and after an eloquent
address by Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Kingston, the remains were followed to
Cataraqui by his family and friends and deposited in the vault. The
grandfather of deceased, Colonel Booth, came from England before the war of
1812, in which both his grandfather as Colonel and father as Captain took an
active part. When the former came to this country he brought with him his
family servants and negro slaves, but imbued with the true spirit of British
freedom his bondsmen were all made freedmen. Col. Booth was also one of the
16 members comprising the first Parliament of Upper Canada, which sat at
Niagara under Governor Simcoe, and was re-elected by acclamation. |

OBITUARY - Deborah, relict of the late Vincent
Bowerman, of Hallowell, died on October 27th, 1892, aged 87 years and
11 months. She was the daughter of
William Mullet and his wife Mary Clothier who came to Canada from Frompton, Illminster, England,
about the year 1818. Mrs. Bowerman’s first husband was Consider Haight, of
Adolphustown. Their children are Mrs.
Robert Cadman and Mrs. Nelson Sills, of Lennox county, and Mrs. Levi Bowerman
and Mrs. John P. Williams, of Hallowell.
Mrs. Wm. Clendenan and Mrs. Robert
Richardson, of Pickering, Ont., were sisters of the deceased. Three of her brothers - William, Arthur and
James - married respectively Eliza, Jane and Hannah, daughters of Samuel
Baker, an Orthodox Friend who came to his country from Ireland and owned and
resided on the farm in Hallowell for many years now owned by Mr. Benj. Story. Another brother, John Mullet, was a
respected citizen of Picton for many years and owned and carried on an
extensive tannery where the barrel factory now is. Henry and Benjamin Mullet, of Adolphustown,

Bowerman, Ida Eleanor (nee Bedell) |
In Memoriam - There died on the 11th
inst., at her home near Bloomfield, Ida Eleanor Bedell, wife of Dr. A. C.
Bowerman. The funeral occurred at 2
o’clock on Friday, and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing
friends. It was but a little over two
weeks ago that Mrs. Bowerman was surrounded by loving relatives, and enjoyed
a large circle of intimate friends with whom she was a favorite; today she
and her little son are sleeping in “Glenwood”. The sympathy of this community is extended
to the bereaved relatives in their affliction. When in health, Mrs. Bowerman never
entertained flattering ideas of life, nor gilded it with false colors; she
never believed that her life would be greatly prolonged, but she was not at
all discouraged by the fact, and when the messenger came she was ready; when told that
the end was near, she received the information with composure, and, with a
countenance glowing with heavenly inspiration, said; “Weep not for me, but
for yourselves.” When life’s taper had
nearly ceased to burn, her mind continued clear, and when speech had left,
her face was brightened with a smile so sweet and heavenly - so indicative of
perfect happiness, as to ever be to those who witnessed it a source of
comforting reflection. - Though
consigned to the tomb, she continues to live in the affection and memory of
many who had been favored with her acquaintance; in spirit she is with us, and shall be
till from the page of life our names are gone. “What is life? ‘Tis a delicate
shell. thrown
up from eternity’s flow. On time’s bank of quicksand to dwell, and a moment its loveliness
show. Gone back to the element grand.
Is the billow that brought it on shore; See!
A mother is washing the sand, And the beautiful shell is no more.” Lottie Talcott. Bloomfield, Aug 18, 1891. |

Friday morning last in the person of the subject of this sketch. The late Mr.
Bowman was born in 1830, in the town of Beaufort, Quebec, his parents having
settled there shortly before from Yorkshire
England. In 1838 the family removed to the township of Adolphustown,
afterwards removing to Ernesttown. Mr. Bowman lived at various points in
these counties, at Odessa and Yarker, and for the last twenty years in
Newburgh. He was a miller by trade, but during his early years was a sailor
of extended experience, having sailed the upper lakes for many years. He was
one of the crew of the unlucky schooner, the W.H. Davy, one of the Davy Co.
vessels which was wrecked in a fierce gale on Lake
Erie, a number of years ago. The captain of the vessel at the time was the
late Captain Collier of Napanee, and since the latter's death some months
ago, had been the sole survivor of that wreck. He carried on business here
for a number of years and was a respected citizen. He was predeceased by his
wife about sixteen months. A family of six survive,
Geo. M., of Brockville; Mrs. Hector Smith, Newburgh; William, also of
Newburgh; David of Oshawa; Robert of Brockville; and Mrs. W.J. Lemmon of
Newburgh. The deceased was a life long member of
the Anglican church, and in politics was a conservative. He was ill less than
a week during his last sickness, the cause of his death being heart failure
induced by congestion of the lungs. The funeral, which was very largely
attended by all classes of the community, took place from the Anglican church
on Sunday afternoon last, the service being conducted by Rev. Mr. Radcliffe,
rector of the church. The text of the sermon was Psalm 55.22, and the
preacher made reference to the honest, straightforward Christian life of the
deceased mother. The remains were deposited in the Newburgh vault when
another of Newburgh's old familiar figures passed from earthly view. The family have the sympathy of the village in their
bereavement. |

Box, Edith (nee Clapp) |
The Late Mrs. Edith Box The death of Mrs. Edith Box took place on March
23rd, after but a week's illness. She was cut off in the very bloom and
strength of her womanhood, being about thirty years of age. She was the
youngest daughter of Elias and Deborah Clapp, Adolphustown. Some years ago
she married Phillip Box, Fredericksburgh, and they lived happily on the
homestead until his early death, about three years ago. Since that time she
has resided with her parents at Dorland, Adolphustown, enjoying good health
until the fatal inflammation attack. She was a constant and devoted member of
the Methodist church, and was for some years
organist of the church. |

Box, Hugh |
Sillsville Resident, Hugh Box, Killed on C.N.R.
Crossing - Car Struck by Fast East Bound Express Saturday Afternoon - Hugh
Box, one of the best known residents of the south part of the county of
Lennox and Addington, was killed instantly shortly after two o'clock,
daylight saving time, last Saturday afternoon, when his car was struck by a
fast east-bound C.N.R. express at Hart's Crossing, about three miles east of
Napanee. Mr. Box was a well-known farmer of the Sillsville district and for
the past nine years had been agent for the Massey-Harris Implement Company.
In his latter capacity he had many contacts with people throughout the
county. On Saturday, Mr. Box had been in Napanee during the morning and when
on his way home shortly after lunch, turned north from the Hamburg Road at
what is known as the cheese factory corner to make a business call at the
home of Mr. Frank Hart. After going through a subway under the C.N.R. track,
the road turns and, in order to reach the Hart farm, vehicles ascend a rather
steep approach to a level crossing. It was on this crossing that Mr. Box's
car was struck by the second section of the fast express. So
far as can be learned there were no eye-witnesses of the accident with the
possible exception of the trainmen. Iris Hart, 14-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Hart, was standing at the window of the Hart home when she
heard the express make an unusual noise as it came to a sudden stop. When she
looked up, she saw a car being thrown into a deep ditch. She and her
grandmother ran out and found Mr. Box's body lying in the ditch. A neighbour,
Mrs. Jack Lawlor, who is a nurse, was summoned, but
Mr. Box was dead. His car, which was carried some distance by the train, was
a total wreck. The late Mr. Box was born in South Fredericksburgh on the farm
where he had been living for the past thirty years or more. He was a son of
the late Philip Box and Edith Clapp, members of old families of the district.
His parents died when he was a young boy and part of his early life was spent
in Kingston, where he attended school and graduated from a business college.
After his marriage to Jane Roberts, daughter of the late Canon William
Roberts, for some time rector of the Anglican Parish of Adolphustown, Mr. Box
took up farming and continued to live on the family homestead, until his
death. For many years he was president of the UEL Cheese Factory, and
recently was one of the canvassers in connection with the Red Cross Campaign
and the Victory Loan Campaign. He was a member of St. Alban's Anglican
Church, Adolphustown, where his funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, with
Rev. C.C. Brazill, the rector, in charge. Interment followed in Riverside
Cemetery. Mr. Box is survived by his wife, one daughter, Edith, Mrs. (Capt.)
Leavens, Kingston, and one son, William, at home. FREDERICK HUGH BOX Frederick Hugh Box of South Fredericksburgh died
on Saturday, October 25th, as the result of an accident. He was the only son
of Phillip Allison Box and Edith Clapp, both of whom were descended from
U.E.L. pioneer families of the Adolphustown district. He was born in the
house in which he lived at his death and which belonged to his grandfather,
Frederick Lord Box,, who came to Canada from Buckinghamshire, England.
His father and mother died when he was quite young and he then lived with his
grandmother in Kingston, where he attended public and high school and
business college. After his marriage he came back to his grandfather's farm
where he had lived ever since. For the past eight years he had been agent for
the Massey-Harris Company and in this capacity he became widely known throughout
the district. A man of high integrity, of unfailing courtesy,
good humour and wide human interest, he was not only highly respected by
universally beloved and a wide circle of friends will mourn his loss. The funeral took place from St. Alban's Church,
Adolphustown and interment was in Riverside Cemetery, Napanee. He leaves a
wife, who was Jane Roberts, daughter of Rev. Canon William Roberts, Mus.
Doc., one time rector of Adolphustown, a son, William, at home, and a
daughter, Edith. Mrs. Hudson Leavens, Kingston. The Rev. C.C. Brazill was in
charge of the funeral service and was assisted by the Rev. Herbert Pringle,
of Tyendinaga, and the Rev. J.B. Creegan of Picton.
The bearers were Dr. D.M. Allison, a brother-in-low, and Messrs. Harry M.
Johnston, Reade Roblin, Fullerton Kaylor, John
Duffett and Frank Ham. |

Bradley, Ethel (nee Robertson) |
MRS. BRADLEY’S DEATH – Deceased Lady Had Large Number
of Friends in Toronto – Special Despatch to The
Globe – Belleville, Aug. 6 - Mrs. Bradley, wife of Dr. O.W. Bradley of
Montreal, who was killed by a passenger train in Montreal on Saturday, was
the only child of the late Alex. Robertson, M.P. for West Hastings. She was married here to Dr. Bradley on
April 26 last. Mrs. Stewart, who was
injured, was an aunt of the deceased.
Mrs. Bradley was a most popular lady here, and her tragic death came
as a terrible shock to her hundreds of friends here. Mrs. Stewart was a
sister of Mr. J. Grace, Secretary of the Toronto Railway Company. KILLED AT DORVAL – A very sad accident occurred
at Dorval Station on Saturday evening by which the young wife of Dr. O. W.
Bradley, Montreal, was instantly killed and her aunt, Mrs. George
Stewart, of Belleville, was severely injured. It is not known as yet exactly
how the accident occurred. Mrs.
Stewart, however, attributes it to the air suction of the rapidly moving
train which passed. She states that
she and her niece were standing on the narrow platform between the two tracks
at Dorval, waiting for the motor car to take Mrs. Bradley back to
Montreal. While watching the motor car
they did not observe the Imperial Limited, which came along very fast, and by
the disturbance of air swirled them against it. Mrs. Bradley was struck on the temple by
some projection, which smashed her skull in on her brain, causing instant
death. Mrs. Stewart was more
fortunate, and was struck on the arm with such force as to throw her away from
the rushing train. Her arm was badly
fractured and lacerated, and she suffered a severe shaking up. It was not thought, however, that she will
lose the arm or suffer any permanent ill effects from the accident. Mrs. Bradley was Miss Ethel Robertson, of
Belleville, and niece of the late John Bell, K.C. Both Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Stewart are
well known in Napanee, having visited Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Wilson, frequently
here. |

slept to awaken in the Great Beyond.

Breckenridge, Alexander |
Terrible Accident - On Saturday afternoon last
our citizens were shocked when the news was spread broadcast that a man had
been almost instantly killed at the railroad bridge in the east end of the town.
Investigation revealed the fact that the report was only too true, the
unfortunate gentleman being Mr. Alexander Breckenridge, a well known and
highly respected resident of North Fredericksburgh. While driving down Dundas
street, on his return home, deceased lost control of the team he was driving
and they started to run away. The stone piers supporting the G.T.R. bridge
lay directly in their path, and one of the infuriated animals hit the
abutment. The tongue of the sleigh also struck, and precipitated Mr.
Breckenridge head first into the pier. His head and face were severely
smashed and cut, the unfortunate man only living about two hours after the
accident. Deceased was about 55 years of age and unmarried. Besides his
father, who is 95 years of age and very poorly, two brothers, David and
James, and one sister, Annie, at home, and John, in the Yukon, are left to
mourn the loss. The funeral took place on Monday last, and was largely
attended. Rev. J. R. Conn conducting the services. Killed in a Runaway Saturday afternoon a most distressing accident
occurred in Napanee, shortly after four o'clock. Mr. Alexander Breckenridge
who resided on the Hamburgh road, just south of the cheese factory, about two
and a half miles from Napanee, was on his way home when his team of horses
ran away. At the crossing, near the old skating rink, the sleigh went through
a pitch-hole and the drawbolt came out allowing the
whiffletrees to strike the horses heels, which frightened them, causing them
to run away. Mr. Breckenridge clung to the lines and endeavored to keep them
in the road, no doubt hoping to bring them to a standstill while going up
Roblin's Hill. But the fates directed otherwise. The team collided with one
of the stone abutments of the Grand Trunk railway bridge, and eye witnesses
who saw the accident say the rear end of the sleigh was thrown into the air
by the concussion, pitching the unfortunate man against the ragged edge of
the pier, smashing his skull. His forehead was badly bruised as was also the
left side of his face. A sympathetic crowd quickly gathered and the wounded
man was conveyed to the fire hall, and Dr. Simpson was summoned, who upon
examination said there was not the slightest hope for him. He died about six
o'clock without regaining consciousness. One of the horses had its back
broken and had to be shot. The other freed itself from the wreck, but was
captured a short distance away. Deceased was aged about fifty-five years and
was unmarried. He resided on the farm with his two brothers, sister and
father. The father is ninety-two years of age and in feeble health.
Well-known and highly respected, his tragic death will be the cause of much
regret among a large circle of friends. The funeral took place Monday
afternoon from his late residence North Fredericksburgh, the remains being
placed in the Western cemetery vault. |

Breckenridge, Alexander |
BRECKENRIDGE – At North Fredericksburgh on
Sunday, March 27th, 1910, Alexander Breckenridge aged 100 years
and 17 days. THE LATE ALEXANDER BRECKENRIDGE - A sad gloom was
cast over this community on Easter Sunday morning when it became known that
the venerable old gentleman, Mr. Alexander Breckenridge, of Little Creek, had
passed away. Although his death was
not unexpected for some time past, he held all his faculties till near the
last. He was born at Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland, on
March 10th, 1810, and accordingly had passed the century
mark. He indeed had a wonderful
intellect and memory for a man of his age, and his many friends more that
enjoyed many hours listening to his tales concerning the Highlands of his
dear old Scotland. With his wife, Miss
Robona McGill, who preceded him to the grave some
twenty seven years ago, and three of his family, he set sail for Canada in
1854, and after a very rough three months voyage he landed in Kingston, and took up farming near Colinsbay, and thence to Amherst Island when it was yet
but a forest. He resided at Little Creek
on the farm upon which he died for the past thirty five years, most of which
he was very active, and was widely known in the district. Some five years ago he received his second
sight, and it was wonderful to hear him read without any aid from glasses. Although he never took any active part in
politics he was always relied upon as a staunch supporter of the Liberal
party. He was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Mr. Conn conducted the funeral services at
his home on Tuesday, March 20th.
His family consisted of Alexander Jr. and David who died some few
years ago, John of British Columbia, and James and Annie, on the old
homestead. His pallbearers were
Messrs. J. F. Smith, Alf. Kent, Jas. Dillenbeck, G. M. Card, A. Herrington
and A. Bowen. The funeral was largely
attended and his remains were placed in the Western cemetery vault to await
interment in the family plot. |
