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. |

Amos H. Baker, aged 44 years. The Late Amos Baker - The death occurred on
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
only child, Miss Marguerite, a
student at Toronto University. Mr.
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. Interment in Glenwood cemetery. |

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

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 was in the family plot in the cemetery at Camden V., where
with the only two 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. |

her bodily weakness and blindness, Mrs. Balance was always most cheerful and
was never heard to murmur. Those who
came within the influence of her life could not help but be benefited by her
patient Christian spirit. While
apparently so weak her wonderful energy kept her up, and she was able to
attend St. John’s Church, where her presence was always an inspiration for
good, five weeks before her death.
Having spent the greater part of her life in this vicinity, there are
hosts of friends who extend to the bereaved family sincerest sympathy. There are left to mourn such a devoted wife
and mother her husband, three sons and two daughters, Frank, Clarence and
Esse at home, and Mrs. Fred Knapp and Stanley, of Napanee. The funeral service was held in St. John’s
church where for many years, Mrs. Ballance had been so faithful a member and
regular communicant, on Saturday 16th October, after which the
remains were laid to rest in the family pot, Selby. The floral offerings from family and
friends were most beautiful. |

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. |

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] S. G. Phillips |

Beasley - Drowned at North Fredericksburgh, on
Sunday, June 12th, 1921, Reginald Beasley, of Adolphustown, aged
24 years, 5 months. Drowned While Bathing - Reginald Beasley, a young farmer of Adolphustown,
was drowned at the sand banks about a mile down the river on Sunday
morning. Mr. Beasley, with a number of
other men were bathing and he evidently took a cramp and sank in fifteen feet
of water. His companions immediately
tried to render assistance, but it was nearly two hours before the body was
recovered. Master Harry McCumber found
the body and Master Willie Maracle brought the body to the surface by
diving. The remains were taken to
Messrs Ming & Hambly’s undertaking parlors. Mr. Beasley was a returned soldier and some
time ago purchased the Buck farm in Adolphustown through the soldiers’
settlement board. He expected to be
married next month to a daughter of Mr. Boomhower who is living on the
Spencer farm, where deceased was spending the weekend. ADOLPHUSTOWN - A sad fatality occurred on Sunday morning last,
when a bright young life was lost to our community, in the death of Reginald
Beasley. Reggie, with a few
companions, was bathing in the Napanee river, when suddenly he sank to the
bottom, where his body was recovered some hours later. Reggie enlisted for overseas service in the
early stages of the war, with the local corps, and his faithfulness and
bravery were recognized by his winning the D. C. M. The funeral took place from S. Alban’s
church on Tuesday afternoon, a large congregation being present to show their
sympathy with the bereaved family. The
bearers were Messrs. M. Anions, H. Smith, A. Hines, G. Gurney, F. Goddard and
W. McCrudden, all being in soldier uniform.
Interment was made in S. Alban’s churchyard. Reginald Beasley, Adolphustown, Drowned In the
Napanee River on Sunday Morning Reginald Beasley, aged twenty-one years, son of
George Beasley, Adolphustown, was drowned n the Napanee river at Napanee on
Sunday morning. He could not swim very well and got beyond his depth and went
down. The accident occurred about 11 o’clock and the body was recovered three
hours later by Wilkey Markle. Three younger boys were in bathing with Beasley
at the time of the accident. They noticed that he went down and never came up
and they rushed for help, but when aid did arrive, it was too late. Chief of
Police Barrett was notified of the unfortunate affair and with several
others, commenced a search for the body of the young man and as already
stated, Wilkey Markle found the body. Deceased served overseas and for some time since
returning home had been engaged in drawing milk to the cheese factory. He was
a fine young man, well liked by all his acquaintances. Dr. Cowan, coroner, was notified of the affair,
but after learning of the circumstances decided that an inquest was
unnecessary. A very sad incident in connection with the affair
is that the deceased was engaged to a young lady residing in Napanee and he
was spending the weekend in Napanee to be with her. |

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 known, 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 stricken 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,

and was ready for the change. She had lived a life of faith in the Son of God
and had the victory over death. Mother Bennett was a good woman and greatly
esteemed by all her neighbors. Little children and young people loved her.
She knew how to grow old and in the grace of sweetness at the same time. A
large concourse of people followed her remains to Greenwood cemetery, where

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, Betsy Maria (nee Dorland) |
At her residence in Ameliasburgh, Nov. Last, aged
23 years, Betsy Maria, wife of Mr. Cornelius V. Bogart, and daughter of Peter
Dorland Esq., of Adolphustown. In early life sister Bogart was brought up in
and instructed by, the Church of England, by which she profited beyond many
of her fellows, as far as theory went. But nothwithstanding
these advantages, she permitted the spirit to be lost in the letter, the
substance in the shade, till several years of her short life had passed away.
In 1831, she was united in matrimony with Mr. Bogart, who some time previous
was brought to the knowledge of the truth by the remission of sins and joined
the methodist Church. Immediately after their union, brother Bogart (as all
heads of families should do) set up an alter to the God of Heaven, at which
he and his late companion regularly bowed to worship. Mrs. Bogart soon became
deeply affected and much concerned about the salvation of her soul and was
oft times seen to weep when her husband was pleading at a throne of grace for
himself and her. She continued in this state manifesting great anxiety to
obtain the forgiveness of her sins, till the next year, when she and her
husband attended a Camp Meeting, during which her burdened soul was
delivered, her bound spirit set free, by faith in him who “bore her grief and
carried her sorrows, and by whose stripes she was healed.” Being now adopted
into the family of God, sister Bogart immediately joined the Methodist
Church, of which she remained a faithful and consistent member till she
joined the Church above. In 1836 brother and sister Bogart left the Bay of
Quinte and removed over to the Murray circuit and were made a great blessing
to the neighborhood in which they settled. Early in last fall it pleased the
great head of the Church to commence a gracious work of conviction and
conversion within the bounds of brother Bogart’s class. During this revival, sister Bogart
was very active and zealous in her labour of love, perhaps too much so for
her constitution, the firmness of which was already shaken by severe
afflictions. Early in Nov. she caught a severe cold upon which the
inflammation set in to such a degree, that it was only at rare intervals that
she had her right mind. Whenever she had, she expressed a strong confidence
in the Lord. I visited her in her afflictions and found her very much
deranged at times. Shortly after I went in, she seemed to rally and
recognized me and asked me to pray for her. Before engaging in this solemn
duty, I asked her respecting her prospects of the upper world. “Brother
Allison,” said she, “that is just what I am thinking about, how it will be
with me in the other world, I believe it will be well.” We then commenced in
prayer, during which she seemed to be much engaged. Thus she continued whenever
reason took its seat, to give evidence “of her part in the Redeemer’s blood,”
till the 18th of Nov., when her happy spirit took its flight, no
doubt to the paradise of God. She has left an affectionate husband, two
children (one of whom was but six months old) and a large circle of more
distant relatives and friends to suffer and mourn her loss. Her remains were
taken and deposited in the clay of her native Township; there to remain among
the pale nations of the dead, till the sound of the last trumpet shall be
heard, when we have no doubt her happy spirit, and her slumbering dust will
come up, all immortalized before the eternal throne and hear the welcome
sentence, “well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of
thy Lord,” amen and Amen. C.R.

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. |

Napanee, May 18. – A gloom was cast over the
community on Saturday when it was learned that Mr. F.D. Bogart had passed
away in the early hours of the morning. The deceased had been ill only a few
days, having contracted the dread disease pneumonia and owing to a weak heart
it was feared from the first that the chances for recovery were very remote. The late Mr. Bogart had been a resident of
Napanee for only about two years, but in that time had won the esteem of a
host of friends. He had followed the honorable profession of farming
practically all his life, having resided in Adolphustown. Two years ago, he
and Mrs. Bogart retired from active duties on the farm and came to Napanee to
reside. He was extremely well known, was an active member of Trinity
Methodist Church, an enthusiastic curler and a man who was respected and
esteemed by everyone. During his residence in town he held an agency for a
leading implement firm which he conducted with splendid success. Surviving is
his devoted help mate, also one son, Arthur, who resides on the homestead and
one daughter, Mrs. Roblin, residing in Adolphustown. Mrs. Stuart L. Daly,
town, is a sister of the deceased. The funeral is being held this afternoon
from his late residence to Riverside Cemetery. |

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

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. |

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

On Sunday morning she was suddenly taken very ill with inflammation of
the bowels. Medical aid was
immediately summoned, but the young lady became worse and suffered terrible
agony during last evening. About seven
o’clock this morning the sorrowing family were called on to take leave of the
dear one, who but a few short hours before was as happy and vigorous as any
of them. She lingered for a few
minutes very near death but perfectly conscious, and recognizing the members
of the family. A few minutes after
seven o’clock she passed peacefully away.
She was about twenty years of age and had, by her happy and pleasing
manner won for herself a host of friends who will hear with the deepest
sorrow of the sad and sudden blow which has robbed them of one who has won a
place in their affections. The
bereaved family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. The funeral
will take place on Wednesday at the residence of Mr. Botterell. |

Botterell, on Saturday evening, at the early age of 38 years, after three
weeks' illness, caused by the prevalent la grippe and pneumonia, Ottawa has
lost one of its prominent young citizens. Quiet, unassuming and gentle in
disposition, to know Harry Botterell was to love and esteem him. Active in
all good works he will be much missed in Emmanuel Reformed Episcopal church,
of which he was treasurer and superintendent of the Sunday school, while the
Young Man's Christian Association has lost a director who did much to promote
its welfare. He belonged to the Independent Order of Foresters and was one of
the organizers of Court Laurentian, of which he was a zealous member. In the
civil service he was deservedly esteemed, occupying the position of assistant
to his respected father, Mr. Edward Botterell, distributor of parliamentary
papers, House of Commons. A wife and five little children are left to mourn
the loss of a most affectionate husband and father. A host of friends extend
to them, his father and other relatives, warm sympathy in their sore
bereavement. |

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.

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.

Bowman, George |
Obituary - Mr. George Bowman Another of Newburgh's old citizens passed away on
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. |

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,

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.

WILLIAM B. BRANDON KILLED AT FRONT - Word was received that Mr. Wm. B. Brandon,
formerly of this place, was killed at the front, on Nov. 17th. Pte. Brandon enlisted in Humboldt in January,
1915, with the 53rd Battalion.
He went overseas that same summer, and while in England transferred to
the mechanical transport and was driving an ambulance till January 1916, when
he was sent to France, where he was also driving a motor ambulance, for the
third clearing station. About June of
this year he was again transferred, this time to the third Canadian division
supply, being driving a truck conveying supplies to the front. As far as is known, he was still thus
engaged when he was killed, being no doubt hit by an enemy shell. Pte. Wm. B. Brandon was a young man of only 30
years of age, having been born near Napanee, on July 3rd,
1887. He went west to Humboldt in

Brant, Catharine |
Death of Catharine Brant The Upper Canada papers announce the death, at the
Mohawk Village, on the Grand River, of Catharine Brant, relict of Captain
Joseph Brant, the celebrated leader of the Six Nations, aged 78 years. This
Indian princess was a remarkable woman. She was the third wife of the
distinguished chief, whose name during the war of the American revolution
carried terror into every border hamlet and was moreover, in her own right,
by birth, the head of the great Indian confederacy of the Six Nations. Hence, on the death of her husband in 1807, upon
her devolved the naming of a successor to the head Chieftaincy of the
Alliance. The post was conferred upon her youngest son, the late John Brant,
who died of the cholera in 1832. On the decease of this noble fellow, who was
her favorite son, she appointed to the Chieftaincy an infant grandchild, the
son of Col. William J. Kerr, of Brant House, Wellington Square, who married
the youngest daughter of Joseph Brant. The chief is a sprightly little fellow
– three quarters Mohawk and inheriting his white blood from Sir William
Johnson, of whom he is the great grandson. Mr. Brant, the deceased, was a
true Mohawk. She was very handsome when young and was married
to Captain Joseph Brant at Niagara in the spring of 1780. When the old chief
visited England the first time, in 1775-76, having resolved to take up the
hatchet in the cause of the crown, he procured a large gold finger ring, upon
which his name – Joseph Brant Thayendanegea, was engraved in order that in
the event of his fall, his body might be known. Soon after his death, the
ring was lost and was not seen again until ploughed up in a field two years
ago. Its recovery gave great joy to the old lady who happened to be on a
visit to her daughter when it was found. After the war, her husband built a
mansion at the head of Lake Ontario, where he adopted the English style of
living to a considerable extent. But on his death, Mr. Brant resumed the
Indian mode of life and returned among her people on the Grand River, where
she has resided ever since, with the exception of occasional visits to her
accomplished daughter at the Brant House. |

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. |

DIED - At Adolphustown, on Thursday last, Mr. Barnabus
Brennan, for many years an inhabitant of Kingston, aged 44 years. DIED - At Adolphustown, on Thursday last, the 14th
inst., Mr. BARNABAS BRENNAN, for many years a resident of Kingston, merchant,
aged 44 years. Mr. B. was a native of Ireland, but came to this
Province in 1816, where he has resided ever since. Having been an acceptable member of the
Methodist church before he came to the place, he soon attached himself to the
Society in Kingston, in which he has sustained, with distinguished zeal and
ability, several responsible situations, but for the greatest portion of time
that of Recording Steward, in the faithful discharge of the duties of which
he did honor to his head and his heart.
He was also superintendent of a large Sabbath School for several
years, for the spiritual prosperity of which his ardor and zeal were
untiring; and in all the relations in
which he stood to the church, he endeared himself to his brethren by the
strict integrity and singleness of heart with which he was ever guided. - In June last, he came to the resolution
of retiring from the town, and settling himself in the country, for which
purpose he purchased a pleasantly situated farm on Hay Bay in
Adolphustown; but previous to his removal
there, was suddenly attacked by a paralytic affection, from which he never
recovered, but which continued, from time to time, with increased violence,
rendering him incapable of attending, with few exceptions, to his temporal
concerns. But the immortal, deathless
spirit, was still ripening for eternal joys, and it may be truly said of our
deceased brother, that he did “in patience possess his soul,” for not a
murmur, or single word of repining was known to escape his lips, from the
time of his first severe attack till he resigned his soul, in the triumphs of
faith, into the hands of his Redeemer. - Much might be said, for the
encouragement of Christians, respecting the deceased, but which would occupy
too great a space of your interesting paper
suffice it, therefore, to say, that he lived a consistent Christian,
and has left a wife, several children, and a numerous circle of friends to mourn, but not without hope, their
exceeding great loss; but which, it is
confidently believed, will prove his infinite and eternal gain. His funeral took place on Sunday last, at
the residence of his father-in-law, Mr. Nicholas Peterson, Sen., on Hay Bay,
which was numerously attended; and the universal sympathy of feeling manifested
on the occasion, showed the high esteem in which he was held by those who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. -
“Let me die the death of the righteous, let my last end be like his.” The Christian Guardian will confer a favor
by inserting the above. |

1895, Rev. W. Briden, aged 68 years. Death of Rev. W. Briden Rev. William Briden died at his residence
Kingston, Saturday morning. The Methodist church has sustained a distinct
loss. Deceased was born at St. Albans, about twenty miles from London, Eng.,
in May, 1827, and was therefore past sixty-eight years old at the time of his
death. He came to Canada about fifty years ago, and almost immediately
entered upon missionary work, his first station being at Napanee, then a mere
hamlet. From Napanee, he was moved to Centreville, and while stationed there
was ordained a minister of the Methodist church. That was over forty years
ago, and since then has been a diligent painstaking laborer for the Master.
Among the places where he was stationed during his long career were
Peterboro, Wilton, Pittsburgh, Cataraqui, Odessa, Bath, Little Britain,
Newburgh, Consecon and other places. The last congregation he had charge of
was that of Princess street Methodist
church, from which he was obliged to retire last June before his full
time was completed, owing to ill health. Deceased was married twice, his
first wife being Miss Anna Lawrence, who crossed the ocean with him, and to
whom seven children, six boys and one girl, were born. She died long since
and was buried at Cataraqui Cemetery. His second wife was Mrs. Box, formerly
Miss Addison, who survives him, and whose friends reside in the vicinity of
Consecon. Four sons of the deceased reside in North Dakota, where they are
employed in responsible positions. A fifth son is head master of the
Ingersoll high school, and the remaining son is George who resides in this
city. The only daughter is the wife of A.M. Parrott, of Odessa. - Whig. |

Melancholy Circumstance – Yesterday afternoon,
about four o’clock, a small boat belonging to the Dock yard put off from the
commercial wharf in this harbour, having on board Mr. Charles Briggs, a Mr.
Gregg, clerk in the dock yard and a sailor. When about half way towards Point
Frederick, the wind blowing a gale from the westward, the boat, which had a
good deal of iron ballast on board, was struck by a squall which caused the
ballast to shift to one side, in consequence of which she filled with water
and sank. Mr. Gregg and the sailor being good swimmers, sustained themselves
on the water until rescued, but Mr. Briggs unfortunately sunk to rise no
more. He was a fine young man, about nineteen years of age, son of Mr. Thomas
Briggs of Adolphustown and brother of Messrs James and Thomas Briggs, of this
town. His body has not yet been recovered. Great credit is due to the persons
who went to rescue the sufferers, for their promptitude and great activity.

this unfortunate young gentleman was found yesterday afternoon, and a

was returned. The funeral takes place this afternoon - Kingston paper, (Upper Canada), Sept. 4.

Brown, Abner |
The late Abner Brown - Abner Brown, an old and
well known resident of North Fredericksburgh, passed peacefully away at the
residence of his daughter, Miss Ida Brown, Dundas street, on Thursday
morning, Sept. 28th, after a serious illness of several months duration, from
cancer of the stomach. Mr. Brown was born at Plum Hollow, Leeds county, on
March 7th, 1826, and was, therefore, at the time of his death, in his
seventy-third year. In March 1853, he was married to Loreta Wiltse, who
preceded him to the grave twenty-eight years ago. He spent his early years on
a farm in Leeds county and moved to Lennox county in 1871. Here he resided
until the time of his death. Mr. Brown was a good business man, an
enterprising farmer, a very extensive reader and a man of much intelligence.
He was amongst the prosperous and well to do agriculturists of this county.
In politics he was a strong liberal and was long a consistent member of the
Methodist church, being converted at the early age of fourteen. He was a
life-long temperance man and took deep interest in the plobiscite
vote. Though realizing that his end was near, he expressed strong hope that
his strength would hold out to enable him to go and cast his vote. He died,
however, a few hours before the poll opened. Deceased leaves a family of five children, three
daughters and two sons - all well known residents of this county. The
daughters are Ida and Ada, unmarried; Loreta (Mrs. William D. VanAlstine) who
lives in town. The sons are Almon and Alvin, both farmers of North
Fredericksburgh, the former on the homestead. |

Melancholy Death – We are pained to hear of the
sudden death of another respected resident of this county. On Tuesday last
Mr. David Brown, of North Fredericksburgh, was engaged in attending to the
stock in the barn yard, and when he had been out a short time some of the
family heard a groaning in the stable and went to ascertain the cause, when
Mr. Brown was found lying on the floor in an insensible condition, having
been kicked by a young horse. Assistance was called and he was removed to the
house and died in about two hours. It appears that he had been giving some
grain to a young horse and for that purpose he used a half-bushel measure at
which it is thought the horse took fright and commenced kicking with the
above fatal result. |

Brown, David Aylsworth |
On Monday evening, November 21, 1932, death
claimed as its victim, a dearly loved son and brother, in the person of David
Aylsworth Brown, a well known and highly respected resident of North
Fredericksburgh, in his 62nd year. Although never very robust from
infancy, his parents were always considerate and with a great deal of
kindness and care, his health improved. During the last few years, he had
enjoyed fairly good health with the exception of occasional heart attacks. It
was one of these attacks which resulted in his sudden passing. Since the
death of his father, the late Charles Jacob Brown, on September 6th 1916, he and his widowed mother lived a
good deal of the time alone on the old Brown homestead, near Fredericksburgh
station, and his sudden passing was a terrible shock to his aged mother. He
was a true lover of nature and was especially interested in poultry,
gardening and flowers, and made a success of these hobbies. He was of a kind,
gentle and thoughtful nature, always earnest and true and ready to give
assistance, always being more ready to give than to receive; a truly devoted
son. His funeral was held at the home Thursday November 24th and
was conducted by his pastor, the Rev. R. W. Street, Morven United Church. Mr.
and Mrs. Geo. Fralick sang a beautiful duet, "Sometime We Will
Understand". The body was laid to rest in the family plot at Morven.
Besides his aged and heart-broken mother, who passed away shortly after his
death, he left to mourn his loss four sisters, Mrs. B.S. Vanalstine; Mrs. S.
A. Amey; Mrs. J.C. Parrott and Mrs. J. S. Amey. The homestead was handed down
from his grandfather, Sergt. David Bucklin Brown.
In its early days it was renowned for its woollen and saw mills. His son,
Charles, learned the carriage making and opened up a shop at Centreville, but
after the death of his father, returned to the home and became one of the
most prosperous farmers of his time. He married Theresa Clancy, daughter of
William Clancy of Newburgh. Both Charles and his son David were born and died
on the homestead. His ancestors came to America on the Mayflower and settled
near Bath. Two brothers, Sergt. David Bucklin
Brown, who married the daughter of Col. Isaac Fraser and afterwards acquired
the property at Fredericksburgh, and James Brown, who settled in the
Limestone City. Three other brothers settled in the States. General Jacob
Brown, was commander-in-chief of the American Army during the early Mexican
War, losing his life at Brownsville, Texas. Fort Brown was named in his honor
across the Rio Grande from Mexico. Another brother an English Church
clergyman settled in Rhode Island, a descendant of whom John Nicholas Brown
founded Brown University. The other brother, Lieut. Brown settled in
Massachusetts. Of the two families who settled in Canada, Dr. M. J. Brown,
Kingston and Charles Jacob Brown, of Fredericksburgh, were spared to within a
few months of each other. |

David Lewis Brown, aged fifty-five years. Obituary - David Lewis Brown, who died at his
residence, South Fredericksburgh, 14th November, 1896, was born in this place
on the farm now owned by his brother, Mr. Stanford Brown, and was therefore
in his fifty-sixth year. In 1864 he married Miss Allison, of Adolphustown,
and went to reside at Shannonville, where he remained till 1894, when he came
back to his birthplace. His genial manner won him many friends who will sadly
miss his smiling face from their midst. He was a consistent member of the Methodist
church and a reformer in politics. He leaves a sorrowing widow who has the
sympathy of the entire community in her sad bereavement. His funeral, which
occurred on Tuesday was largely attended, which testified to the esteem in
which he was held. His funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Shorey,
assisted by Rev. Pope of Morven. The text was taken from Job, 14th chapter,
1st verse, Man wasteth away, man giveth up the
ghost and where is be. His remains were interred in the beautiful mausoleum
erected by his brother on the Allison homestead. |

Word was received last week of the death at Elva,
Manitoba, of Frederick Brown, son of the late Stanley Brown, Adolphustown.
The remains will be brought here for burial beside his father and mother at
Adolphustown. Deceased was about nineteen years of age. Frederick Brown, Parma What, to all human appearance gave promise of a
bright and useful career was cut suddenly off in the death of Frederick
Brown, son of the late Stanley Brown, of Parma, South Fredericksburgh, which
occurred about Sunday last at Winnipeg. Last spring he rented his farm at
Parma, and went west to Elva, Man., to visit his sister, Mrs. Wm. Stratton,
and a younger unmarried sister there. While there he appears to have been
taken sick of appendicitis, which weakened him and culminated in lung
trouble. He was taken to the hospital at Winnipeg for better treatment and
died there. We are informed that his was a very happy death. He was a young
man of more than usual intelligence and promise. The body was brought to
Napanee on Wednesday morning, accompanied by two of his former young friends,
William Stratton and Fred Lasher, who also went out to Manitoba on a visit
some months ago. The body was met here by Mr. Jacob Roblin of Adolphustown,
executor of the late Sidney Brown's estate, and conveyed to the burying ground
of the Adolphustown Methodist church where it was interred beside the remains
of his father and mother, both of whom died within recent years. We
understand that the funeral sermon will be preached at that church on Sunday
morning next. |

OBITUARY - Samuel S. Brown On December 30th, 1927, after a protracted
illness of several months, Mr. Samuel S. Brown passed away, at the age of 49
years. The deceased had been a resident of this district
all his life, and his quiet, pleasant, lovable disposition, had won for him a
host of friends. His untimely death is
much to be regretted, for it has taken him from his loving wife and baby son,
and the whole community suffers the loss of a most loyal, worthy and
respected citizen. Besides his wife and baby son, he leaves to mourn
his loss, four brothers, Wm., of Lime Lake;
George, Thomas and James, of Ebenezer, and two sisters, Mrs. Wm.
Metcalfe, of the West, and Mrs. Wm. English, of Shannonville. The funeral service which was largely attended,
was held in Ebenezer Church, Rev. M. Sharpe, a former pastor,
officiating. The bearers were W.
Whiteman, G. Provins, J. Doyle, C. Anderson, C. Mastin and H. Mastin. Rev. Mr. Sharpe took for his text, “Behold
I show you a mystery”. God’s ways are
not our ways and He will provide a way.
We know the departed never lost his trust in God, through all his
illness, for he left a message to his sorrowing wife, “Trust in God and
follow on.” Ebenezer Church has indeed lost a very useful
member, for he loved the Church he had been brought up in and never hesitated
to respond to any call made on him. In
the choir his assistance was freely given.
For a number of years he was superintendent of the Sunday School, and
also taught a class of young boys. He
loved the young people and never forgot to give an encouraging word. He was a faithful member of the Orange
Lodge, being Master of the Ebenezer Lodge, 974, and Chaplain of the black
Order. To the sorrowing friends, the whole community
extends their deepest sympathy and remembering the beautiful words of the
anthem rendered by the choir, “Meekly Wait and Murmur Not.” |

Brown, Stanley |
The funeral of the late Stanley Brown took place
on Wednesday last from his residence on the 2d
con., South Fredericksburgh. Rev. W.J. Saunders, D.C.L., conducted the
services which were held mainly in the U.E.L. Centennial Methodist church,
Adolphustown. Dr. Sanders preached from Ps. xc, 12, a sermon that held the
attention of the large audience assembled. It was a practical application of
the text showing the necessity of living so as to be prepared for eternity.
Very feeling reference was made by the preacher to the efforts of the son of deceased, Mr.
Fred Brown, to do all possible for his sick father, while assuming the burden
which the care of a large farm imposed on one who is scarcely out of boyhood.
We hope much good may be done by the Doctor's earnest words and excellent
advice so kindly given. The late S. Brown was buried beside his wife, in the
Adolphustown cemetery attached to above church. He is survived by two
daughters, who reside in Manitoba, and two sons. |

Brown, Theressa (nee Clancy) |
Theressa Clancy Brown, widow of the late Charles
J. Brown, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. D. Parrott, Odessa,
on February 13th, 1933, after an illness of about three weeks, was
one of Morven's oldest and most respected residents. Mrs. Brown was a
daughter of the late William Clancy of Newburgh. She had the rare distinction
of being one of triplets, one of whom, Jacob Pool, died in 1898, and another,
William Harve, died in infancy. Deceased who was in her 91st year,
was a member of Morven United Church. All her life, she had been associated
with the Methodist and later with the United Church. In August 1868, she
married Charles Jacob Brown and for 64 years she resided on the Brown
homestead. Mr. Brown predeceased her in 1916. She was a great lover of
flowers and music, and as a girl attended singing school and sang in the
choir. Even when very ill, she asked for her favorite songs and joined in the
singing. Her prime interest was in homemaking, and in every sense was a
helpmate, a loyal mother, and wife. Her husband set a high value on her
judgment, and it was this harmony that brought them success and happiness.
She was perpetually young and delighted in sharing her pleasures and having
her friends in her home. She was a good friend, a notable mother and was
loved for her cheerful spirit and happy outlook on life. Her flowers were a
source of delight to her in her declining years, she loved them all; her tall
palm she had watched grow from a seedling, and so many choice plants inside
and outside the home. The sudden death of her son was a great shock but she
did her best to bear up under the strain. Last Christmas was spent in the old
home with her family, after which she went to spend the winter with her
daughter. On January 22nd, she celebrated her 90th birthday. Many friends
called to extend congratulations and gifts and greetings were received from
far and near. A few days after her birthday she was taken ill and despite all
loving hands could do, she gradually slipped away at her master's call. The
funeral service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Fletcher of Odessa, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. J.C. Parrott and interment was made at the family plot in
Morven. At the service, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fralick friends of the family, sang
a beautiful duet. Surviving are four daughters - Mrs. B. S Vanalstyne, Mrs.
S. A. Amey, Mrs. J.C. Parrott and Mrs. J. S. Amey, three sisters, Mrs. A.M.
Asselstine, Winnipeg, Mrs. R Richards, Toronto, Mrs. R. Phillips, Tacoma

Mrs. (Rev.) William Bryers Mrs. Bryers, wife of the late Rev. William

of June last, at the ripe age of 85 years. Her maiden name was Sarah E.
Priest, daughter of Ezra Deon Priest and Althea Shorey, of Bath. Mrs. Bryers,
as the wife of one of the early Methodist preachers, knew all about the
trials and hardships of the itinerancy in the early history of this province.
She was the willing and able helper of her husband in all the arduous toil of
his long itinerant life. She was a woman of fine intelligence, deep piety,
glowing zeal and took a practical interest in all the affairs of the Church.
She ardently loved all the means of grace and was never absent from God’s
house when health permitted her to attend. When too old and feeble to walk
she was taken to church in an invalid’s chair by her devoted daughter. She
survived her husband nine years, and spent these closing years of a long and
useful life with her daughter, Nettie, in the town of Napanee. Five children were
born to Mr. and Mrs. Bryers, all of whom but one survive – Fred T., of
Winnipeg; Mrs. J.C. Battle, Niagara Falls, Ont.,; Mrs. Austin Robinson,
Nettie, at home; Morley T., died in 1900. “Her children rise up and call her

Buchanan, Mrs. James (nee Campbell) |
MRS. JAMES BUCHANAN - Daughter of Mr. G. C.
Campbell, of Forester’s Falls, was suddenly removed from earth to heaven on
the 18th of March, 1886.
She was born at Forester’s Falls on the 11th of October,
1856. She gave her heart to her Saviour when only a child, and through her
life, which was short, “lived her God to love, her God to glorify.” On the 19th of March, 1879, she
was united in marriage to Mr. James Buchanan, of Beachburg,
who now deeply mourns his loss, and whom we hope will one day meet her in
that glorious world above where husbands and wives and loved ones, who have
died in the Lord, meet to part no more.
How often death takes those who seem to be the most valuable in the
home circle, in the Church and in society;
it seems so in this case. She
was one of those devoted wives and mothers who make home bright, happy and
blessed. Nearly two years ago she was
seized with bronchitis, which finally turned to consumption, and though
everything which medical skill and a self sacrificing, devoted, loving
husband and kind sister could do was done, yet she passed away from earth and
left grief stricken ones behind. but,
though dead, her influence for good while living still remains. Her sick-room was not saddened with doubts
and fears, but was brightened with the assurance of the presence and blessing
of Jesus. She could say, “The blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth me from all
sin.” She was anxious to live with her
husband and little boy, whom she loved so dearly; yet she could say, “Thy will be done.” She had no fear of death. She said that very often she thought that
she was as happy as she could live, and it seemed to her at times as if she
could see her Saviour in her room.

Burrows, Frederick |
Aged Teacher Passes at Age of 91. Frederick Burrows Served under Ryerson Regime. One of the appointees as Public School Inspector
by the late Dr. Egerton Ryerson, Frederick Burrows, 78 Chelsea Avenue,
Toronto, died on Saturday at 91. He
and his wife lived in wedded bliss for over 68 years. Mr. Burrows was born in Toronto, and for
ten years was a teacher at the Bath Academy in the Bay of Quinte
district. At the age of 30, he was
made Public School Inspector for Lennox and Addington County and was the
youngest of seventy-one inspectors to be appointed in Ontario by the late Dr.
Ryerson. Thirty six years after his
promotion as Inspector in 1871, Mr. Burrows retired, and since that time he
and his wife had been living quietly in their native city. He married in 1863. He was 21 and his wife 18. Mr. Burrows took a great interest in his
former pupils, and his only regret was that most of them were scattered all
over the globe. On the occasion of his
last birthday, several of his old pupils called on him to offer their
congratulations. Poetry attracted the
aged educationist and one of his poems were published in 1928 in the March
issue of the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. His talent in verse was developed during
three sad years of his life when he lost his sight, and could no longer read. An operation brought back his sight, and he
returned to his beloved books with even greater interest than before. Surviving are his widow and four children. Alfred is the head of the Geological
Department of the Provincial Bureau of Mines.
George is a medical practitioner in Marlbank, Ontario; Arthur is in
Vancouver and their only surviving daughter, Mrs. W. Sexsmith is also in
Vancouver. The late Herbert Burrows, a
former news editor of the world who died in 1904, was a son. Twelve grandchildren and thirteen great
grandchildren also survive. - - Toronto Telegram The remains were brought to Napanee on Tuesday
and interment took place in Riverview Cemetery. OBITUARY - THE LATE FREDERICK BURROWS - The late Frederick Burrows was born in Toronto,
in 1842, of Irish and Scotch decent, was educated in public and grammar
schools, and the Provincial Normal School at Toronto. He taught school first at the age of 16 years,
and between teaching engagements, furthered his education. He taught school in several places near
Toronto and Kingston. He was
head-master of the historic Bath Academy, and while teaching there received
an appointment as Public School Inspector for the counties of Lennox and
Addington in the Dr. Ryerson regime.
He was the youngest of the inspectors appointed at that time. He served as Inspector for many years, with
distinction, Napanee being his headquarters.
During this time he was ever trying to raise the status of the county
schools, and had a keen sympathy for the young teachers of that day and gave
many a helping hand in conducting their classes. During early years, travelling in the far north
was difficult and hazardous, and accommodation was poor. Often the north section had to be visited
on horseback and roads were impassable.
Frequently accommodation was obtained at lumber camps and many stories
were told of the rough but kindly shantymen. During his inspectorate he had many special
appointments from the Department of Education, including, examiner at the
Deaf and Dumb Institute, Belleville, and at normal schools. All through his life he was a great student,
surrounded by books. After retiring in
1907, after 49 years in educational life, he kept up his studies. He was fondest of literature and poetry and
many excellent poems have been written by him.. Just before his death, he had prepared a
private edition of poems, as gifts for his many friends. He married Miss Lucinda Barrett, of Wolfe island. He is survived by many descendants, including a
widow, three sons, Dr. George Burrows, Marlbank, Ont., Wilson Burrows,
Cloverdale, B.C., and Dr. Alfred burrows, Toronto’ and one daughter, Mattie, (Mrs. C.G.
Sexsmith), Vancouver, B.C. |

OBITUARY – HERBERT BURROWS – Eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred. Burrows, died at Kingston on Monday last, 25th
April, aged 39 years and 10 months.
Deceased was cut off in the midst of a prosperous and useful life, and
his bereaved widow and sorrowing parents and brothers and sister have the
heartfelt sympathy of the whole community.
For two years, previous to his sickness, deceased held the important
position of private secretary to the Hon. J. R. Stratton. Previous to that he had held responsible
positions as a Hansard reporter, and on the staff of the Toronto Globe Mail
and World, and was for some years managing editor of the latter. Under his
management the World was never more popular and prosperous. His illness, mental collapse, came on very
suddenly, and although everything was done that medical science could
prescribe, he continued to fail until the end came on Monday. Deceased was an unusually clever boy, and
in later years developed a great ability in the profession he adopted. Whatever he took in hand was carried out
with all the energy and ability Providence had so abundantly endowed him, and
his death cuts short what promised to be a most useful and successful
career. Deceased was married about
nineteen years ago to Miss Maggie McKay, daughter of the late Donald McKay,
Owen Sound, but formerly of Napanee, who survives. Four brothers, Dr. G. Burrows,
Marlbank; Arthur, in the west; Alfred, Belleville; Frank, New York, and one sister, Mrs. C. G.
Sexsmith, of New Westminster, besides his sorrowing parents, mourn the death
of a loving son and brother. The
funeral took place on Wednesday from his father’s residence, Robert Street,
to the Western vault. The casket was covered
by beautiful wreaths and flowers from Toronto, Hamilton and other places,
including one from Hon. J. R. Stratton, Provincial Secretary. On Wednesday Mrs. Burrows received the
following dispatch from Ottawa: Ottawa 27th April, 1904 – Mrs. Herbert
Burrows, Napanee – Dear Madame – The Parliamentary Press Gallery desire to
express its sympathy in your bereavement. – Chas. A. Mathewson, Pres., H.F.
Gadsby, Secty. |

Busby, Sidney John |
SIDNEY JOHN BUSBY The angel of death came into our neighborhood
Friday evening March 11th, and took from our midst a loving
husband, son, brother, and neighbor, in the person of Sidney Busby. He had been enjoying good health until one
week previous to his passing, when he was taken ill, and although everything
was done that loving hands could do and medical assistance provide, he passed
into the Great Beyond, a ransomed soul.
Happy to meet and be with his Saviour. His passing came as a great
shock to everyone. Sid, as we all knew
him, had lived all his brief life in our midst, being born on November 14th,
1894. He lived with his parents on the
old homestead, situated a short distance from the place where he resided at
the time of his passing, and although his brief span of life seemed all too
short, he had endeared himself to each and everyone by his fine Christian
qualities, manly principles,, loving and unselfish disposition. On March 19th, 1919, he married Bessie
Baird, of Anderson, who is left to mourn a loving husband. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Busby, of
Napanee, one sister, Mrs. Edward Sexsmith, and a niece, Hazel Sexsmith, of
Wesley are left to mourn a dutiful son, brother and uncle as well as the
surrounding community, where he will be missed by all. He was a general favorite where ever he
chanced to be, having for the past few years filled the office of secretary
for School Section No. 8, a position he filled admirably, and with general
satisfaction to all. He was also
employed and satisfactorily served the township of Richmond in road
construction work and later did much valuable work along the same line for
the county of Lennox. The funeral assembled at his residence, near
Forest Mills, and proceeded to Selby United Church, where they were joined by
a large number of friends who had gathered to pay their final tribute. The service was conducted by his pastor,
Rev. A. C. Oliver, assisted by Rev. Foley, of Selby, who gave a very
comforting and soul inspiring discourse.
The text was taken from Samuel I, 20th Chapter, 3rd
verse “There is but a step between Me and Death” together with the reading of
the 90th Psalm and a well chosen selection by the Forest Mills
Choir, and the well known number “My Saviour First of All”, ably rendered by
W. Davis, concluded the service that seemed to blend the sympathies of man
with the divine compassion. From there
the cortege proceeded to Riverview vault, Napanee, where interment will take
place later. The pall-bearers were
Frank, Fred and Charley McFarlane, Harry Pringle, Alex. Collins and Ernest
Kerr. The many floral tributes were carried by David
Garrick, Ambrose Switzer, Percy Pringle and Wilbert Bush. “Asleep in Jesus, Blessed sheep From which none ever wake to weep.” Death of Sidney Busby The death of Sidney Busby which took place at his
home at Forest Mills on Friday evening came as a shock to his relatives and
many friends throughout this district.
A man only thirty-eight years of age and one of the best known of the
younger farmers in Richmond Township, his illness had been of a few days
duration. A little over a week ago, he
was taken ill with jaundice and since that time other complications had set
in, and for two days preceding his death his condition had been very
low. A son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Busby, he was born in the Township of Richmond, and followed in the footsteps
of his father, that of farming, and after his parents had moved to Napanee
some few years ago, he assumed charge of the old homestead. He was a frequent visitor to Napanee, was
exceptionally well-known and had a wide circle of friends, by whom he was
held in the highest of esteem. Several years ago he was united in marriage to
Bessie Baird, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Baird of
Anderson. About five years ago, Mrs.
Baird was very ill for a considerable time and was in the Kingston General
Hospital for several weeks. He was a
member of the United Church, and the high regard in which he was held was
evidenced on Sunday afternoon when the United Church at Selby was filled with
relatives and friends for the funeral service. After the service the funeral cortege
proceeded to Napanee where interment took place. Besides his aged parents, who reside on the
Belleville Road, he leaves his widow, also one sister, Mrs. Sexsmith of
Wesley. Mrs. George Chalk, Bridge
street is a sister of Mrs. Baird. A
considerable number from Napanee attended the funeral service. BUSBY - In loving memory of Sidney Busby, who

Bush, Walter C. |
LIEUT. WALTER C. BUSH. Died of Wounds in France, April 29, 1917. Lieut. Walter bush was born near Wilton, in the
township of Ernesttown, on March 25th, 1892. From early boyhood he
showed great inclination for soldiering which increased as he grew older,
until, as soon as old enough, he joined the 47th Frontenac
Regiment. In the year 1911 he passed
through the Royal School of Infantry, obtaining his Lieutenancy, and
returning the following year, 1912, was again successful and was gazetted to
the rank of Captain. He was always kindly disposed, thoroughly
dependable and a fine manly character, respected and esteemed by all, being
especially a favorite with the boys.
When it was decided to organize the boy Scouts at Camden East, he was
the unanimous choice of the boys for the office of scoutmaster, and his work
and influence among them will not be easily forgotten. In September, 1916, he enlisted for
overseas service in the 146th, being gazetted to the rank of
Lieutenant, and on April 29th, 1917, died of wounds in France. Many inquiries have been received as to the
exact cause of his death. The
undernoted letters, received by his brother, Sydney, Bush, supply the answer: April 29th, 1917 Dear Mr. Bush - It is with the greatest regret that I have to
tell you of your brother’s death. He
was in his dugout with his Company Commander, Major Cooper (who was instantly
killed), about 7 p.m. This was located
near some of our 4.5 howitzer batteries, and the Germans started shelling one
of these positions, during which one of the shells fell short and hit the
dugout. Your brother was taken out unconscious
and lived until the next day, but never recovered consciousness. We buried him in the cemetery of Aubigney and his grave is marked with our Battalion
Cross. It was impossible for me to be
present, owing to operations. Your brother had been with us six months and was
always a very gallant officer and soldier.
He was a fellow I could absolutely rely on, and his work on April 9th
in taking of the Vimy Ridge was fine.
He was always willing and keen to go first. We all feel his death deeply, and his loss is a
great one to his Battalion. His kit and personal effects have been forwarded
to you. Again, accept my sincere sympathy in your great
loss of a chap who always played the game, Yours very sincerely, J. B. ROGERS, Commanding 3rd Canadian Battalion,
Toronto Regiment. May 7th, 1917 My Dear Mr. Bush - You will have heard some days ago the sad news of
your brother’s death, and ever since I have been trying to get a chance to
write. Perhaps you have heard from
others how he was killed. He was with
his Company, holding a support position during one of the notable advances
our men have made lately, when a shell hit the top of the dugout, breaking it
down on them. Your brother was injured
in the head and did not become conscious at all, but lived until he reached
the Casualty Clearing Station Aubigney, and died
there. There was, of course,
absolutely no chance for him from the first, and Major Cooper, his company
Commander, died instantly. Your
brother leaves such a good record in this Battalion for faithful work and
cheerful devotion and comradeship that he will be greatly missed. Yet one cannot grudge him the glory of
having played his part in the recent great advances, nor the privilege of
having given himself in sacrifice in helping to secure such triumphs for his
Battalion and his Country,. His own
work as a Platoon Officer, both last month and all the time he has been here,
helped greatly to accomplish the result.
I do not know what others he leaves at home. I do know you must all remember him with
loving pride and think to-day he rests in the peace of God’s Paradise. His body was laid to rest near where he
died by the Chaplain and Capt. Calham, and other of
the officers were present, and a cross erected by his Battalion will mark his
grave., Yours very sincerely, M .L. ARCHER, Chaplain, 1st Canadian Infantry. |

Bussey, Albert E. |
Death of A.E. Bussey – the many friends of Albert
E. Bussey were surprised and pained to hear of his sudden death, at his home
in Westernville, on Monday evening, Sept. 6. He was
taken sick at Rochester, where he was engaged in business with his brother,
Geo. H. Bussey. He hastened home to be
cared for by the hands of loved ones; but their loving care could not save
him. God saw fit in His infinite
wisdom to take him hence, and He doeth all things well. A little more than five years have passed
since he married Belle, the eldest daughter of Mr. Daniel G. Drummond, of
Lee. Their married life has been
short, but a very happy one. Of three
children, two are left, and one has gone before to the fold of the Good
Shepherd. Mr. Bussey was a promising
young man. He had business abilities
of a high order, was a very kind husband, and generous in all his feelings
and actions. His truthfulness and
honor in all business matters was well understood and appreciated by all who
came in contact with him.. The testimony
of sympathy for his stricken household, and to the warm place he held in the
hearts of those who knew him, was shown by the large and solemn concourse of
weeping friends who attended the funeral service. Several of his Rochester friends were
present, bringing with them many beautiful flowers, in various and
appropriate designs. Many from Rome
were present also, and joined with his neighbors and friends in the last sad
rites – laying him to rest in the
cemetery familiar to him from his childhood. |

Byers, Rev. Henry |
Sad Drowning of the Rev. Henry Byers. – Last
evening about four o’clock the body of Rev. Hy. Byers, Kingston, was found
floating in shallow water off the Barriefield shore
near the other end of Cataraqui Bridge.
On the bank were his overcoat and hat and two bottles of
medicine. At first it was thought that
it was a case of suicide, but now his friends are not of that opinion. He was in the hospital for a few days not
feeling well; in fact he was sick for
some time. Yesterday morning about six
o’clock he was seen crossing the bridge, and it is thought that shortly after
that hour he met his death. He was in
the habit of bathing his head, and those who were best acquainted with him
think that he went to the lake shore to bathe his head, and becoming suddenly
ill fell forward and was drowned. The
body was in only two feet of water. Of
late he was very weak indeed. Deceased
was born in Ireland, which country he left in 1838. In 1847 he came to Kingston and found
employment as a painter for several years.
He then studied for the ministry, and was located in the Wilton
circuit preaching in several places.
About thirty years ago he became a supernumerary, and then opened a
boarding house at the head of Brock street, at which the students of Queen’s
lodged. Of late he boarded on Queen
street in a house which he owned. His
property is said to be worth ten thousand dollars. He leaves a widow, who is the sister of Mr.
I. Simpson. |
