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

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

Bell, Aylsworth Perry Bowen	OBITUARY - Aylsworth Perry Bowen Bell. The subject of this sketch, Aylsworth Perry Bowen Bell, was born in the Township of Camden, County of Addington, Ont., on the farm now owned by Alfred M. Bell on the last day of November, 1840. He has always lived near his birthplace, with exception of the past three years, which he spent with his children in the Canadian West and in Michigan. He was the seventh son of John and Sarah Bell, who both predeceased him. There was a large family of children, eight sons and four daughters, and “Bowen” as he was familiarly know, was the last to pass out. Mr. Bell was married to Thressa Breault, of Camden on July 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 striken in years, four sons, Elwell, of Napanee; Wellington of Saskatchewan; Rev. E. Frazer of Freemont, Mich.; Rev. Aylsworth B., of Buffalo Centre, Iowa, and two daughters, Bathilda and Edith, also of Saskatchewan. Mr. Bell has always been a consistent member of the Methodist Church, having been converted in his youth at revival meetings held at Lynn, by his brother, Rev. J. D. Bell. He was educated at Newburgh Academy, graduating from there with a second class teachers certificate when he was 19 years of age. He taught school for several years before settling upon his farm at Wesley. Mr. Bell is a man who is widely known and highly respected by all, old and young and will be mourned by a wide circle of friends. He was a hardworking and dutiful father and a faithful husband, and will be missed by one and all. Truly we can say of him, “Thou shalt be missed because thy place will be vacant.” No task was too hard and no sacrifice too great for him if the happiness of his family were concerned, and while we miss father and mourn him as gone from us, yet we can only remember that the Good Gardener has just seen fit to transplant our loved one in that great expanse where he may develop and grow in happiness and felicity throughout eternity. And so while we say sadly, “good-bye father”, yet we also add, your life was an inspiration to us to live, so as to meet you with all our loved ones in that better land. Mr. Bell passed away December 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

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, 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 birth-day, 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.

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.

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

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	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.	1910 Newspaper Clipping

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.

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.

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.
