Babcock, Alexander	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.	Feb 15 1885 New York Times

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.	Apr 3 1925 Napanee Beaver

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.

ROBERT BALLANCE Mrs. Balance, a resident of Deseronto for about three years, passed away at her home on Monday, April 13^th. 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.

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.

Bartlet, Nancy	DIED - In this town on the 11^th instant, MRS NANCY BARTLET, consort of SMITH BARTLET Esq. in the 36^th year of her age. A gradual decline, of nearly two years, terminated her active and useful life. On the 14^th 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.	Kingston Chronicle Feb 19 1819

Like his brother James, whose obituary notice appeared in the CHRISTIAN GUARDIAN, January 6^th, 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 22^nd, 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.

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 3^rd 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 24^th, 1915, at his home in Napanee. Funeral took place there from on Sunday Dec. 26^th 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.	1915 Newspaper Clipping

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.	Jan 14 1927 Napanee Beaver

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.

Betzner, David	DAVID BETZNER - Was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was a good man of varied talents and industrious beyond many, and had saved quite a competency. He knew how to get, he knew how to save, and he knew how to give, and that is what few do know. His ancestors came from Germany to Pennsylvania, and his parents were among the earliest settlers in Waterloo county, in Canada. David was born in 1801, and was the first white child born in that county. His ancestors were Tankers, and he was converted at an early age and united with that church. About thirty years ago he united with the New Connexion Methodist at Copetown. From that time he was known far and near as the ministers’ friend. How many have enjoyed the hospitality of his home and the cheer of his Christian counsel and liberality. Though living to a great age, he retained all his faculties of body till the last. He retained the cheer and vivacity of youth even down to old age. His last sickness was protracted and painful, but he never murmured, and often spoke of his joy and trust in the Saviour. Many who read those lines will be saddened at the loss of an old familiar friend. He passed away on March 16^th, 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 18^th 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.

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 19^th. 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 21^st in St. Thomas’ church. Interment at Brockville.	1914 From the Watson Scrapbooks

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

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

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.

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.	1889 From the Watson Scrapbooks

Melancholy Deaths at Odessa Our obituary of today records the deaths of Mr. Joshua Booth (of the Cloth Factory at Odessa) and of one of his children, that took place on Saturday last. It would appear that while digging in his garden, near the water side, on that day, he turned up a root, which mistaking for a common Canada root, vulgarly called Spignet, he eat [sic] some and gave some to his man and some to his little daughter. The root unfortunately happed to be the Water Hemlock (Cicuta-Conium Maculatum) and in the course of six hours all three of them were attacked with spasms, of which Mr. Joshua Booth and his little daughter died in spite of the strenuous exertions of three medical men to save life.

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

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.

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

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

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.	Feb 3 1905 Napanee Beaver Feb 3 1905 Napanee Express
Breckenridge, Alexander	BRECKENRIDGE – At North Fredericksburgh on Sunday, March 27^th, 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 10^th, 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 20^th. 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.

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.

Briden, Rev. William	BRIDEN - In Kingston, on Saturday, Nov. 2nd, 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.

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.

A dear old Christian lady, Miss Briggs, of South Napanee, passed to her reward on Friday last, 25th July, at the ripe age of 86 years, after a short illness, occasioned by an accident, in falling down stairs on the Sunday morning previous. Owing to previous illness and her great age, she was unable to survive the shock of a fractured leg. Deceased was a daughter of Thomas Briggs, and was born in Leeds, England in 1816. When deceased was quite young, her father and mother and their children came to America, and settled for a time in Utica, N.Y., afterwards removing to the Township of Adolphustown, where he purchased a farm and remained until his house was destroyed by fire. He then - about fifty years ago - removed to Napanee, purchasing the homestead, 130 acres, south of the river, on which he erected a large and commodious stone house. His children were Mrs. Frances Hill, of Cushing, near Montreal, aged 93 years, who is now the only survivor. The late James Briggs, of Napanee, who died about ten years ago aged 87 years, was the eldest of the family. The others were Thomas, of Kingston, late manager of the Frontenac Trust and Loan Society, who attained the age of 89 years, and was able to be at his office two days before his death. Mrs. Latimore, of Utica, N.Y., who died two years ago, aged over 80 years; Mrs. Stevens, aged 60, who died in Napanee about fifteen years ago leaving two children, Miss Fannie Hurst residing here with her aunt, and Mrs. W.H. Bettes of Paris, Texas; and Miss Anna the subject of this notice. Miss Briggs was of a bright, sunny disposition and beloved by neighbours and friends. She was a member of the Plymouth Brethren, joining them during Lord Cecil's visit to Napanee years ago. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C.E. McIntyre, who visited her faithfully during her last illness. The service was held on Monday and the remains were taken to Cataraqui cemetery, where they were interred in the family plot. The pall-bearers were Judge Wilkison, Zina Ham, Sperry Rockwell, J.F. Smith, Capt. Rankin and Jas. Taylor. Deceased had long been a faithful follower of her Master, and was ready for the welcome change. Much sympathy is expressed for her niece, Miss Hurst, who has been her companion and nurse for years, and who is now left without a relative in these parts.	Aug 1 1902 Napanee Beaver
Briggs, Charles	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.

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.

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.	Oct 8 1898 British Whig

Brown, David	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 62^nd 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 6^th 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 24^th 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.	1932 From Mrs. Walter Paul's scrapbook

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.

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 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.

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.”	1927 Scrapbook Clipping

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.

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 13^th, 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 91^st 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 Wash, and one brother, Solomon Clancy at Newburgh.	1933 From Mrs. Walter Paul's scrapbook

Bryers, Sarah E. (nee Priest)	Mrs. (Rev.) William Bryers Mrs. Bryers, wife of the late Rev. William Bryers, was born in 1833 and died at her home in Napanee on the 19^th 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 blessed.” S.S.	Sept 18 1918 Christian Guardian

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 18^th of March, 1886. She was born at Forester’s Falls on the 11^th 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 19^th 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. [signed] Wm. Knox	May 12 1886 The Christian Guardian

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.

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.	ca 1933 Newspaper Clipping
Burrows, Herbert	OBITUARY – HERBERT BURROWS – Eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred. Burrows, died at Kingston on Monday last, 25^th 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.

Burtch, Ida May (nee Richardson)	Once again the quiet and happy community of Bethany has been disturbed by the ravages of death. In the early hours of Friday last, Nov. 16^th, there fell to the claims of the grim monster, one of the most highly respected and beloved, in the person of Ida May Richardson, beloved wife of George Burtch. The sympathies of the whole community and of many far beyond its boundaries have long been centered around that home, for Mrs. Burtch has been a great sufferer for many months and confined to her bed for eighteen weeks. Of late she has made repeated visits to the Kingston Hospital and although her disease from the first was of a serious and perhaps hopeless nature, yet under the skilful treatment of Doctors and nurses, to which must be added that of her own patient and hopeful disposition, she lingered for many a day. Despite all the hope, however, of husband, daughter, sister, father and friends, it became all too apparent during the last week or two that human skill and tender care could not cope with the inevitable, for before the eyes of all, the shades of night were falling fast. In the death of Mrs. Burtch the community of Bethany has been bereft of a valued citizen and friend. The Methodist Church has lost a pillar which will not easily be replaced, for there was no phase of the church’s life which was not touched by her personality and blessed by her presence and prayers. The day set for the funeral was a loud call to a large circle of friends. On Sunday last, the family and friends met at the home of the deceased, where prior to leaving, the Pastor, the Rev. W.H. Truscott, offered prayer. The body was then taken to the church where an overflow congregation was waiting. Through the Pastor’s indisposition, the Rev. A.J. Terrill, Chairman of the District, preached the sermon and conducted the burial ceremony. From his text, taken from Romans 8:28, many were his words of soothing and comfort. The expressions of sympathy were very touching and sincere and those who could not utter them in words were showing them in tears and thus the curtain fell upon one of the saddest days of our history. Mrs. Burtch leaves to mourn her loss a sorrowing husband, Mrs. Earl Howell (only daughter); Mrs. Arthur Dean (only sister); and a father, Mr. Geo. Richardson and an only nephew, Clarence Lowry, of Toronto. The flowers were beautiful and numerous and besides the family tokens, wreaths were sent by Mr. and Mrs. Owen, of Toronto; Miss Pearl Hie, of Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. Scrimshaw of Napanee and spray by Mrs. S. Walmsley.	Nov 1923 Napanee Beaver

Busby, Sidney John	SIDNEY JOHN BUSBY The angel of death came into our neighborhood Friday evening March 11^th, 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.

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, 20^th Chapter, 3^rd verse “There is but a step between Me and Death” together with the reading of the 90^th 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 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 passed away on March 11^th, 1932.

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 25^th, 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 47^th 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 146^th, being gazetted to the rank of Lieutenant, and on April 29^th, 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 29^th, 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 9^th 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 3^rd Canadian Battalion, Toronto Regiment. May 7^th, 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, 1^st Canadian Infantry.	1917 Scrapbook Clipping
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.	From the Watson Scrapbooks

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.
