Cadman - At North Fredericksburgh, on Sunday, April 15th, 1928,
William H. Cadman, aged 80 years, 5 months. Obituary - Mr. W.H. Cadman It was with sincere regret that the many friends of Mr. W.H.
Cadman learned that he had suddenly passed away on Sunday, April 15th, 1928,
at his home, Napanee. Although in his eighty-first year, and confined to his
bed many months, he was a patient sufferer, and a devoted member of Trinity
United Church for eighteen years. His earlier years were spent in
Adolphustown, where he was born. The late Mr. Cadman was one of the few surviving veterans of the
Fenian Raid of 1866 and until very recently retained a clear recollection of
events surrounding the Raid. His wife predeceased him about two years ago.
Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. (Capt.) Bloomfield, Kingston; Mrs. C.F.
Allison, Adolphustown, Mrs. W.G. Fretts and Mrs. T.M. Asselstine, of Napanee,
having resided with the latter the past six years. The funeral, which took
place Tuesday afternoon, from his late residence to Riverview cemetery, was
conducted by the Rev. Harry Pawson, of Trinity United Church. A prominent and highly esteemed resident of South Fredericksburgh
passed away on Sunday in the person of Mr. W.H. Cadman, whose death at the
age of eighty-one years followed an illness of over a year’s duration.
Although confined to his bed these many months he was a patient sufferer and
notwithstanding the best of medical care and the careful nursing by his
devoted family it was evident for some time that the end was approaching. The
late Mr. Cadman was a native of South Fredericksburgh and in his earlier
years was a resident of Gosport and Adolphustown. For the past eighteen years he had been a resident of the
township in which he was born. Two years ago he suffered a sore bereavement

Cameron, Elizabeth (nee
Cook) |
The Late Mrs. Cameron -
Elizabeth Cameron, one of the oldest and most highly respected
residents of Camden, died December 22nd, at her home in Newburgh,
in her ninetieth year. The youngest
daughter of the late Richard and Jane Cook of Camden, she was born October 17th
1849 and baptized on January 15th 1850, in the old church of St.
Luke’s at Camden East by the Reverend Paul Shirley, Missionary of the United
Churches of England and Ireland, in the Township of Sheffield - Camden, and
first rector of St. Luke’s. In 1871 she was married to Nathaniel Graham. The four children from this marriage are
Mrs. Robert Dowdle, Mrs. William Dowdle, Edward Graham and Archibald Graham,
all of Camden. Her second husband was
Thomas Cameron, of Inverness Scotland, who predeceased her in 1906. Their son, Herbert Cameron, lives in
Windsor, where he is Classics Master in the Patterson Collegiate Institute. Mrs. Cameron had a remarkable memory and was very conversant
with the early history of Lennox and Addington. Her mind continued to be keen and active
till the very end of her life. She was
an indefatigable worker and took great pride in the management of her home
which was always immaculate.
Conspicuous among her many virtues was the wonderful and ideal
unselfishness which motivated her every action. She thought always of others and never of
herself. A devoted mother, a kind and
sympathetic neighbour, who could always be depended on in time of sickness or
trouble and a devout Christian who read each day her Bible and the Book of
Common Prayer. She will be missed by a
wide circle of friends, to whom she was an inspiration. Her funeral took place on Saturday, December 24th. Six grandsons acted as pall-bearers. A short service was held at her late
residence by the Rev. Canon R. W. Spencer.
By special request, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Wartman
of Napanee, sang the beautiful hymn, “Does Jesus Care”. The funeral cortege then proceeded to St.
Luke’s Church at Camden East. During
the service, three favourite hymns of the deceased were sung. “On the Resurrection Morning”, “Abide With
Me” and “How Sweet the Hour of Closing Day.”
After a brief but impressive sermon on the hope and promise of the
life immortal, interment was made in the cemetery of St. Luke’s where her
parents, grandparents and so many of her friends rest. “May light eternal shine upon her with Thy
Saints, O Lord, forever.” MRS. THOMAS CAMERON - NEWBURGH - Mrs. Thomas
Cameron, one of the oldest residents of the village passed away on Thursday
morning in her 90th year.
She had been ill for about one week.
She leaves to mourn her loss three sons, Edward and Archie Graham of
Newburg, and J. H. Cameron, B.A., of Windsor, and two daughters, Mrs. Robert
Dowdle and Mrs. William Dowdle of Camden as well as a
number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was twice married. Following a brief service at the home on Saturday the remains
were taken to St. Luke’s Church, Camden East, where a public service was
held, which was conducted by Rev. Canon R. W. Spancer. At the service at the house, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Wartman of Napanee sang very feelingly
“Does Jesus Care?” The casket was laden with beautiful floral tributes and
interment was made in St. Luke’s cemetery.
The pall-bearers were six grandson, Percy, James, Archie, Walter, Albert and Harvey Dowdle. |

FOUND DEAD IN BED - John R. Cameron Was a Popular Journalist - Hamilton, Ont., Dec. 30 - John R. Cameron, editor of the
Hamilton Spectator, and one of the best known journalists in Canada, died,
very suddenly during the night, at his home in East Flamboro. It may be said of him that he died in
harness for while he had not been in the best of health for some time he was
in his office right up to noon on Saturday.
On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Cameron consulted his doctor who advised
him to take a few holidays, as he appeared to be run down, but even then it
was not thought that his condition was serious. He was able to be about yesterday and last
evening retired about the usual hour.
This morning he was found dead in bed. John Robson Cameron was born in Lanark county, April 19th,
1845. He learned his trade as a
printer in Seaforth and afterwards moved to Sarnia where he worked on the
Canadian, subsequently going to Detroit, where he worked for the Free Press. When the call came for volunteers for the
Red River expedition Mr. Cameron was one of the first to offer and was made
color-sergeant of his regiment. He
went through the expedition under Wolseley, and afterwards settled in
Winnipeg, where he was foreman on the Free Press. He served as an alderman in Winnipeg for a
couple of years and afterward went south and worked on a
number of American papers. When
he returned to Canada he worked for a time on Stratford and Guelph papers and
twenty-seven years ago he came to Hamilton as city editor of the
Spectator. Later he became managing
editor and for the past fourteen years had been chief editor. Mr. Cameron was known in newspaper circles
as one of the brightest paragraphers in Canada and was highly esteemed by all
who knew him. a widow and four
daughters survive. |

Cameron, Malcolm |
HON. MALCOLM CAMERON - Amongst the names which, in Canada, will ever
be inseparably connected with the Temperance movement, is that of the late
Hon. Malcolm Cameron, whose death was announced a few days ago. His life, which extended for over a period
of sixty-eight years was ever an eventful one, his strong will and impulsive
temperament often bringing him into situations sometimes more peculiar than
pleasant. His father was the late Mr.
Angus Cameron, for sometime Hospital Sergeant of a Canadian regiment, which
was disbanded in 1816, when Mr. Cameron, with his son, the prospective
Minister of the State - who eight years previously had been born in Three
Rivers - removed to the settlement of Perth, where he opened a house of
entertainment, and as a landlord, gained a county-wide reputation. His wife
carefully watched over her son, and not only cautioned him against the use of
intoxicating drinks, but prevented him from obtaining any when under her
jurisdiction. The effect of this watchful care and teaching may be seen in
the son’s career, when the temptation to drink must
have been almost impossible for any one unless educated as he was to
withstand. When twelve years old he
commenced farming on a small scale, and kept the ferry at the Mississippi
River, ten miles back from the Village of Perth. Here his companions were stern,
uncompromising Radicals, emigrants from Scotland who imbued the boy’s mind
with those principles which ever afterwards had great influence informing his
course in life. His father died in
1822, and young Malcolm being offered a situation in a store in Laprairie
removed there the following year. But
his master was one who could not guide a youth such as he had under his
control; a “Radical” imbued with the
spirit of those bearing that name from Scotland could not consent to be
tyrannized over, and the young man on a bitter cold day in 1821 started off
and walked nine miles to this city, which he reached with both cheeks
frozen. Having no money he hired
himself out as stable boy to a man named Martin in the Haymarket, where he
saved money enough to pay his stage fare home. His mother was then keeping a boarding
house in the town of Perth, and he remained with her during the winter,
occupying the time by attendance at the District school. In the spring he was employed in the
brewery and distillery of Hon. A. Graham, where he remained four years, never
once deviating from his practice of total abstinence from all that
intoxicates. He spent much of his time
during this four years in study, and it may be stated as an evidence of his
literary taste, that the first money he saved was sent to England to purchase
Hume, Smollet and Lloyd. He was a voracious reader, and may have
been said to have read through every house in the village. In 1828 he entered into
partnership with his brother-in-law, but soon separated, and then went to
Scotland, where he entered into a life long partnership with his cousin, Miss
Christiana McGregor daughter of Robert McGregor, Esq., cotton spinner,
Glasgow. He was very popular in his
county, and in 1836 was elected to Parliament for Lanark, in opposition to
Sir Francis Bond Head’s candidate. He
was a strong advocate of the union of the Provinces. In 1841, he was offered the office of
Inspector-General by Lord Sydenham, but declined. He accepted the office of inspector of
Revenue during the administration of Sir Charles Bagot, and subsequently in
the Lafontaine-Baldwin and Hincks-Morin administrations held the offices of
Assistant Commissioner of Public Works, President of the Executive council,
Minister of Agriculture, and Postmaster General; he was also a Government director of the
Grand Trunk Railway, which was under construction. He held the office of Queen’s Printer of
Canada from 1863 to 1869. In the
latter year he resigned to contest South Renfrew for the Commons. He was defeated, however, as also in 1871,
when he contested Russell for the Ontario Legislature, and in the following
year when he contested Russell for the House of Commons. In 1874 he was elected for South Ontario,
defeating Hon. T. N. Gibbs. Hon. Malcolm
was a strong, forcible speaker, and was never at fault in adapting himself to
any audience which he had to address.
the term “Clear Grit” which has clung so closely to the Reform party,
was adopted from the remark in a speech of his “They call us gritty - yes we
are, and clear grit at that.” As an
advocate of total prohibition, Mr. Cameron was straightforward and
unflinching, and on the platform or in the council of the Sons of Temperance
or the Prohibitory League, his words were listened to with careful attention,
and his counsel followed. |

DEATH OF ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, ESQ. Never perhaps in the history of our Village did the records of
mortality fill up so rapidly as for the last few days. Another prominent man has fallen, and is
numbered with those who were, but are not.
Mr. Campbell, the Postmaster of our Village, and owner of the Campbell
House expired on the evening of Thursday last, after a short but painful
illness, thus following closely upon the lamented David Roblin, Esq. Two prominent men, who grew up together,
and mingled in many an exciting struggle in political life, are thus almost
in a day removed from our midst and consigned to the earth. An impressive warning this, and eminently
calculated to moderate our worldly cares and lead us to think of, and prepare
for the boundless future. Mr. Campbell was born in Adolphustown, in April of 1803, and was
consequently at the time of his death nearly 60 years of age. His grandfather and father were U. E.
Loyalists and were amongst the first settlers in this county. Mr. Campbell was a Surveyor by profession,
but for a number of years past had been in
mercantile business in Napanee. He
succeeded A. McPherson, Esq., as Postmaster of our Village, and had held that
office for several years. He also held
other minor offices in the gift of the Government, and of the
Municipality. Mr. Campbell was for
some time proprietor and editor of this paper, and had some reputation as a
public journalist. More than once he
was amongst those who were likely candidates for Parliamentary honors, but he
never stood at an election. For many
years he was a staunch supporter of the Reform party, but in 1836, judging
that they were going too far, he left them and ever after held himself to be
a Conservative, but notwithstanding supported Mr. Roblin in his two last contests. Mr. Campbell, in religious attachments was
an Episcopalian. He leaves a widow and
several children to mourn his loss. He
was buried in the Methodist Cemetery on Saturday P.M., being followed to his
grave by a number of mourning relatives, and a large
concourse of friends. The widow and
children have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. |

only daughter, Dorothea Campbell, who in thirteen short years had finished

Another shock and thrill of sorrow was felt yesterday, when it
became known that Mrs. Campbell, mother of Mrs. (Rev.) A. MacDonald, had
passed away to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. Mrs. Campbell was
ill only about a week of a trouble resembling indigestion. But her case was
not thought to be serious until but a few hours before the end came. Deceased
was in her eighty-first year. Mrs. Campbell’s maiden name was Jane Ham,
daughter of the late Peter Ham, of Bath, a merchant in the early days of this
country. Her girlhood days were spent in Bath and vicinity. She married Rev.
John Campbell, M.A. at one time a minister at Nottawasaga, Simcoe county, who
preceded her to the grave about thirty years ago. Deceased was a sister of
the late John D. Ham, of Napanee. A sister, now living at St. Thomas, but for
many years a resident of Camden East, is the only surviving member of the
family. Mrs. Campbell was a cousin of T.J. Lockwood of this place. One
daughter, Mrs. (Rev.) A. MacDonald,
survives. About seven years ago, shortly after the death of her brother the
late John D. Ham, Mrs. Campbell removed to Napanee, to spend the declining
years of her life in her native hand. Mrs. Campbell was a lady of very quiet
and unassuming manners, with a retiring disposition, beloved by all with whom
she became acquainted. In her young days she was a noted beauty and retained
all her comeliness and grace of manner with her advancing years. The funeral
takes place on Wednesday afternoon, at 2.30 p.m. from the residence of her

MRS. GEORGE C. CAMPBELL -
Whose maiden name was M. A. Murdock, fell asleep in Jesus on the 17th
of September 1885. She was born in
Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland, about the year 1828. She came to Canada with her parents and
settled at Sand Point in Ontario. On
the 25th of January, 1847, she was united in marriage to Mr.
George C. Campbell, who survives her and as a local preacher, delights in
laboring for the Master. The last
thirty years of her life were spent at Forester’s Falls, Ont., at which place
she was led to give her heart to the Saviour.
It was during the meetings conducted by Rev. D. Pomeroy that she found
peace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and joined the Methodist Church,
of which she remained a member until removed to the Church triumphant. For years before her removal she was
greatly afflicted, consequently her attendance at the house of God was very
irregular, but her faith failed not, and she could say the best of all is,
God is with me. For some months before
her release, at times her reason was almost gone, and she would imagine
strange things. But a few days before
her death her former tenderness, patience, kindness, gentleness
and joy in the Holy Ghost returned and remained till she passed triumphantly
to the better land. [signed] Wm. Knox. |

Death of Mr. Canniff Early Experience in this City - Frontier Military Service - His
Public Usefulness One after another of the pioneers of Canada and the other
veterans of 1812 are passing away. Mr. Jonas Canniff, who died at the
residence of his son, Dr. Canniff, at Toronto, on Sunday, had passed his 92nd
birthday. He was born in Duchess county, N.Y. and came into the wilderness of
Upper Canada when four years of age with his father, whose attachment to the
British flag led him to undertake the long and tedious journey with his
family and household goods in order to make a home
on British soil. The family settled in Adolphustown, and here the father, James
Canniff, lived and died at a good old age. In 1815 Jonas moved to his
half-constructed log house on the River Moira, near Belleville. Mr. Canniff
served faithfully in 1812 as Sergeant in Captain Dorland's Company, raised in
Adolphustown, under Colonel Cartwright at Kingston. When the American fleet
passed down the bay from Bath with the object of attacking Kingston, he with
his Company followed the vessels, which continued to send cannon shot among
the militia, until they passed Kingston, not venturing to approach the shore.
In 1815 Belleville was not yet named, and was but a small village, and only a
few scattered settlers existed in the county of Hastings. Mr. Canniff was one
of the pioneers in building saw and grist mills. He was a man of great
energy, industry, integrity and Christian principle.
After acting as Township Clerk for one year, shortly after the organization
of the township of Thurlow, he steadfastly declined to accept any office. He
was appointed a Justice of the Peace, but did not qualify. He assisted to
organize the first Agricultural Association, but declined the Presidency. His
body will be removed to Belleville for burial in the family plot. The funeral of the late Jonas Canniff, father of Dr. Canniff, of
Toronto, who died in that city on Sunday, took place on Tuesday in
Belleville. He was a native of Adolphustown, but spent most of his life in
Belleville. He died at the age of 92 years. |

Carr-Harris, Capt.
E. D. |
Yielded up His Life – For His Country in a Righteous Cause – The
Late E. D. Carr-Harris, of Kingston, who was Killed in Battle at Forts in
Gulf of Aden. The news of the death of Capt. E. D. Carr-Harris, formerly of
Kingston, who was killed in action during the battle in connection with the
capture of the forts at the Gulf of Aden, has cast gloom not only upon the
father and surviving brothers of the deceased heroic soldier, but upon a wide
circle of friends. Capt Carr-Harris
was the son of Prof. R. Carr-Harris, Mack Street, of this city, and was born
at Thurso Quebec.
In 1879 he came to Kingston and received a splendid education. After graduating from high school, the late
Capt. Carr-Harris took a two years course at Queen’s university and later
entered the Royal Military College. At
this widely known military training college he achieved the highest honors
that could possibly be won and graduated from the same in June, 1899. His class was last that took the four year
course, the period being changed to three years after the conclusion of this
graduating session. Capt. Carr-Harris
was considered on of the cleverest students who ever went through the R.M.C.,
and was instrumental in taking the most prizes ever awarded a graduate. He took the award of honor, held the
battalion sergeant majorship, won the class prize
and was captain of the football team.
Upon graduating he won those badges for such merit as the “star”, for
being first in class marks, the “crown” for being first in five or more
subjects; “crossed rifles” , “crossed
guns”, “crossed swords”, “crossed flags”, also “crossed spurs” for
distinction in all subjects. After
graduating, Captain Carr-Harris accepted a commission in the Royal Engineers
and joined the depot at Chatham England, being at this place for only nine
months instead of the usual period of two years, before being sent on active
service. The late Captain Carr-Harris’
duties first brought him into distinction during the Boxer uprising in
China. Several years intervened,
during which time the deceased reached a high stage of proficiency, after
which between the years 1908 and 1912 he was the Royal Engineer in charge of
construction of the so called “Broker Road” from the frontiers of India
through the zone of independent states reaching almost as far as the
frontiers of Afghanistan. This road
had often been attempted, but never completed until 1912 by the British government. Recognition was then forthcoming for his
valuable services, and he was nominated by selection to the India Staff
College at Quetta by the commander-in-chief of the Indian army, then Sir O’Moore Creagh.
Captain Carr-Harris completed his two years course at the staff
college at the beginning of last October and was dispatched as immediate
field engineer. In such a service the
already distinguished soldier was recently sent forward, sailing from Bombay
with the great expeditionary force which was successful in capturing the
Turkish forts and positions at the mouth to the Gulf of Aden.
Captain Carr-Harris’ able engineering was duly responsible for this
wonderful achievement, but in the execution of it the noble officer lost his
life. When he was interviewed on
Monday evening, the father of the heroic officer said; “It was better for my
son to die in a noble cause than for the British race and empire to be
destroyed by the internal spirit by which Germany seems to be actuated.” Capt. Carr-Harris is the first Kingston
soldier to give his life for his country and empire in this great war. |

Carrington, John |
The Late John Carrington John Carrington, born June 28th 1816, died Sunday,
august 31st, 1902. Mr. Carrington was born in Summersetshire,
England. At the age of twenty he came to Canada settling in Picton. In the
year 1838 he married Miss Elizabeth Hazlett of Camblin. To them one son was
born, namely Joseph Carrington, of Kingston. For many years he owned a
tannery in Picton, where he has always been known and respected for his
honest dealings, noble character and his many
kindnesses to the poor and needy. He was one of the few men who have kind
words for all. Later he went to Gananoque where he was also very successful
and well liked. In the year 1884 he had occasion to mourn the death of his
wife, Elizabeth Carrington. Two years later he sold out his business in
Picton to his son who removed it to Kinston, where it has flourished ever
since. He then retired from business and married his present wife, who was
Miss Lettie Young, of Gretna, North Fredericksburgh, and who has tenderly
watched and cared for him in his last suffering. In April of this year he
complained of loss of appetite and weakness, and later it was known that
tumor of the stomach was the trouble, and that his case was hopeless. For
weeks he bore his suffering with great fortitude, never complaining, and
trying to make it as easy as he could for his wife who so patiently and
watchfully looked after his comfort night and day. His peace was with God and
he was always delighted to have the minister pray for and with him. He leaves
to mourn his loss, his wife, his son, two granddaughters and the family of
the late William Carrington of Consecon. With these exceptions he has no
relatives in this country. His many tenants and friends of this town mourn
the loss of a good landlord and noble friend. Interment took place in

he and his father then moved to Gananoque, and started a tannery there. They stayed in Gananoque until 1884, when
they sold out, deceased coming to Kingston, and establishing the now
well-known tannery. He opened it
himself, and although it was a very small beginning, but soon developed into
one of the city’s best industries, in fact it was looked upon as one of the

duties at the store since last November, the death took place at his late

represented this county in the Ontario Legislature for many years. He was a

PASSING OF T. G. CARSCALLEN, ESQ. M.L.A. - On Thursday morning
March 15th 1917, the whole community, without regard to class or party, was
shocked by the announcement of the passing of Thomas G. Carscallen, Esq.,
representative of the Riding of Lennox in the Legislature of the Province of
Ontario. He had been in attendance at the
Legislature since the opening of the Session, and as was his custom, returned
home on Friday evening last. The same night he was taken ill, and his
physician pronounced it an extremely serious case of pneumonia. Other
physicians were called in consultation and for a time it was hoped he would
throw off the disease. The interest of his fellow citizens was shown in
hundreds of anxious enquiries. On Wednesday it was apparent that exhaustion
had been reached and at the break of the new day he passed peacefully and
resignedly to rest. Mr. Carscallen was probably the most generally known
resident of the County and especially of the Riding of Lennox, which he
represented so long and so worthily. He had a record that few public men
could boast of - that he was never beaten at the polls. As a lifelong and
consistent Conservative, he enjoyed the confidence of the party locally as
well as of the Leaders, but it was largely his personal popularity and a
universal esteem for his upright life and his commercial integrity that drew
to him the continuous support of the best element of the community. His
passing calls forth regrets from all who knew him without regard to special
standing, greed or politics. Mr. Carscallen's was an
eminently useful life in a practical way. The community in which he lived,
and the Province he served, are all better for his life's work, and his
passing was "peace with honor" in the highest sense. Thomas G. Carscallen
was a son of the late Isaac Carscallen, during his life, one of the most
respected residents of North Fredericksburgh. Three brothers survive him,
John D. whose active life was as a farmer on the homestead, two miles
southwest of Napanee, but who has latterly been associated with the deceased
in the undertaking business. Two brothers, Rufus and
Norris, live at Dresden, Ontario. The early business career of the deceased
was as a contracting painter and paperhanger, but about thirty years ago, he
established an undertaking business, for which purpose he graduated from the
best instructors of the day. In all his business undertakings, he enjoyed the
confidence and support of the public. Forty-four years ago, Mr. Carscallen
married Melinda, daughter of the late Alex. Mair. They were blessed with only
one child, a daughter who lived but three months. Reciprocal devotion to each
other made their social associations and their home life beautiful. Mrs.
Carscallen predeceased her husband by only eleven months, and since this
bereavement, his friends have remarked that his was a stricken life. For him
in passing there was no moaning at the bar, only a joyous reunion in the
harbor beyond. It was as a public man that Mr. Carscallen was best and most
widely known. He first entered public life as a member of the municipal
council of Napanee, in which he held a seat for seventeen years, five as
Councillor, eight as Reeve, and four years as Mayor. He was also Warden of
the County for one year. It was generally recognized that he was one of the
most practical and efficient municipal representatives the town ever had. Mr.
Carscallen was first elected to the Legislature in 1902, and was again
returned at every election since, representing his native riding for nearly
15 successive years. He exercised a quiet but unusually strong influence in
the Legislature and the administrative departments and this was always
available to supporter and opponent alike. Few men possessed so fully the
confidence of his associates and the esteem of his fellow citizens. Mr.
Carscallen was born April 9th 1843. The funeral will be held privately on
Saturday at 1 o'clock at the family residence and at Trinity Methodist Church
at 2 o'clock. |

Carson, Frank |
THE LATE FRANK CARSON - The death occurred on Wednesday
afternoon of one of Napanee’s well-known citizens, Mr. Frank Carson, after an
illness of but a few days. Deceased
was taken ill on Saturday July 24th, the cause being later
diagnosed as appendicitis. The following Saturday, an operation was
successfully performed by Dr. Mundell of Kingston but complications set in,
ending in death. The subject of this
sketch was born in South Napanee on February 28th, 1874, being a
son of the late John and Hester Carson.
He was educated in our local schools and at an early age entered the
shop of his father to learn the harness-making business, where he has
employed his time ever since. On the
death of his father in 1903, the care and management of the business fell
upon his shoulders and to his credit be it said that he made it a
success. In 1906, he was married to
Miss Nora Lake, who survives him. Like
his father, Frank always took an active interest in affairs pertaining to the
welfare of the town. In 1912, he offered
his services as Councillor, and was elected as he also was in 1913, 1914 and
1915, last year occupying the responsible position of Finance Minister. Deceased was a prominent member of Argyll
Lodge No. 212 I.O.O.F., in which he
took an active interest having occupied every office in the gift of his
brethren. He was also closely and
actively associated with Trinity Methodist Church, in the Sunday School, and
for a number of years was a member of the
choir. In the death of Frank, the
Church and State loses a valuable member and citizen, who deeply regret his
early death. Besides his wife, he
leaves two brothers and one sister, Mr. James Carson, of DeKalb Junction,
N.Y.; Wm. J. Carson of Killarney,
Man., and Mrs. Mark Graham, Napanee.
The funeral will take place from his late residence, Newburgh Road
this (Friday) afternoon at 2 o’clock.

OBITUARY – MRS. THOS. W. CASEY – Mrs. Anne Empey Casey, widow of
the late Thos. W. Casey, died at her home on Piety Hill, May 19, 1919, in her
eighty-sixth year. Mrs. Casey was born
at Empey Hill on the 29th of March, 1834. She was the second and last surviving
daughter of Fletcher Empey and Charlotte Long, who both died when their
children were young. The eldest, Mahala, became the wife of Thos. McGreer and
Martha, the youngest, married the late Rev. James Thompson. Mrs. Casey is survived by her son, Willet
F. Casey, of Boston; Mrs. A. R. Davis,
Toronto; Miss Nellie, of Troy, N.Y.;
the Misses Annie and Dora at home and two grandchildren, Eleanor
and Gordon Davis. Mrs. Casey’s
paternal great grandfather belonged to the original Methodist society formed
by John Wesley in Ireland. An obituary
notice of her grandfather states: “In
1788 he emigrated to the State of New York and became the means of
introducing Methodism in a new settlement not far from noted Ash Grove. Afterwards he became a resident in the
Township of Richmond, Upper Canada and his dwelling soon became a preaching
house, and to many, the place of their conversion.” Mrs. Casey thus came naturally to her
Methodist inheritance, and for many years her devotion to her church and
unswerving faith in the religion of her forefathers made her a strong
influence in the religious life of her generation. In 1866 a woman’s class was formed in the
Wesleyan Methodist Church, Napanee after a revival held by Dr. Meacham, and
of this she became and continued leader for nearly forty years. She was also active in other departments of
the church work, where her deep spiritual life was a benefit and blessing to
all who came in contact with her. During her declining years she was relieved
of all care by her faithful daughters, Anna and
Dora, and thus was enabled to enjoy a good old age. As a friend remarked, her passing was a
beautiful sunset to a beautiful life. |

Rested at the Wartman Funeral Home, Napanee, for funeral service on
Wednesday, August 5, 1959 at 2:00 p.m.
Interment Riverside Cemetery. Miss Dora F. Casey Miss Dora Farley Casey, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
W. Casey, the last member of one of the oldest and best known families of the
town of Napanee, died on Monday, August 3, at her home, on Piety Hill. Miss Casey, who was in her 92nd year, was the youngest member of
the family of Mr. and Mrs. T.W. Casey, both of whom were descendants of
United Empire Loyalists. She was born in Napanee and had lived practically
all her lifetime in the home where she died. She had been confined to her bed
for the past two and a half years, following a fall the day after the funeral
of her sister, Miss Nellie Casey, in February of 1957. Throughout her long
illness she had been given faithful care by her companion and housekeeper,
Miss Edna Graham and by capable nurses. In her younger days Miss Casey was a teacher, graduating from
the Napanee Collegiate and Model School. Early in life her hearing became
impaired and after teaching for nearly 20 years at Riverside School, near
Napanee, she retired in September of 1918 because of increasing deafness. She
had previously taught for several years in various schools in the county. Despite almost total deafness for the greater part of her life,
Miss Casey had kept abreast of the times by her interest in people and
current events as well as by the reading of good literature. As a result her
mind remained active and keen and her many friends found her an interesting
personality. Possibly her greatest interest was her church and its
activities. She was a lifelong member of Trinity United Church, and, in spite of her handicap, had attended church services,
meetings of the Women's Missionary Society, the Woman's Association and other
social events in the church and the town until failing health prevented. She
was also a member for many years, of the Imperial of the Women's Missionary
Order Daughters of the Empire. Miss Casey was predeceased by her parents many years ago and by
three sisters and a brother; Miss Anna Casey, Miss Nellie Casey, Mrs. A.R. Davis and Willet Casey. She is survived by one niece, Miss
Eleanor Davis, of Whitby and by several cousins. Her funeral was conducted at the Wartman Funeral Home on
Wednesday afternoon, August 5, by Rev. W.B. Thorneloe, of Grace United
Church, in the absence of Rev. W.K. Pace, minister of Trinity Church. Burial
was in the family plot in Riverside Cemetery. the pall-bearers were four
cousins, W.R. McGreer, Harold McGreer and Robert
McGreer, of Napanee; George Carson, Kingston and Jack Caldwell and Limbert
Graham, of Napanee. In his address at the funeral service, Rev. Mr. Thorneloe paid
tribute to Miss Casey's fine Christian character, made evident by her
devotion to her church, her belief in God's goodness and care and her
generous support of all worthy causes. Out of town friends who attended the funeral, included Mr. and
Mrs. George Carson, Mrs. Ernest Dawson and Dr. Arrin
Carson, of Kingston; Miss Hazel Farley and Worden Farley, of Trenton, and Mr.
and Mrs. A.C. Davis and Miss Lillian Carr, of Adolphustown. |

Late H.W. Casey He Died on Monday After a Long Illness The late Hiram W. Casey, whose death occurred at his residence
on Brock street on Monday evening, was of thorough UE Loyalist stock. His
grandparents were William Casey, Adolphustown, and Andrew Johnson [Jackson],
Hallowell, both of whom were of the first UE Loyalist pioneers in these
townships. He was born in Adolphustown sixty-nine years ago. After spending
his early years in his native township, he resided for a time in Newburgh and
then Napanee. Some years ago, he removed to Kingston where he has since resided.
For years he has been troubled with consumption and for the last two years or
more he has been almost totally incapacitated because of that disease, and it
became evident to himself and his friends that he could not possibly recover.
He viewed his end with the full resignation and confidence of a true
Christian. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and a regular
attendant of the Queen street church here. About forty five years ago, he
married Miss Jane Murdoch, of Fredericksburgh, a lady well known and much
respected among the Christian workers of this city. She survives him with
their two children, Mrs. R.J. Carson, of Brock street and R. O. Casey of the
city of Syracuse. He was a man of much intelligence and a great reader. He
was an active supporter of the liberal party. Up to almost his last hours he
was a constant reader and supporter of the Whig. His interest in the affairs
of his country and his church remained active to his last hours. |

SAMUEL THORNE CASEY - Passed peacefully away from earth
November, 1886. Bro. Casey was born in Adolphustown, Nov. 28th 1807. He was
converted at eleven years of age, and joined the Methodist Church, in which
he remained an acknowledged member 68 years. He knew the history of Methodism
in Canada in its early struggles and triumphs better than most laymen I ever
met. He was sound in Methodist theology, and rejoiced in a personal knowledge
of justification by faith, and believed in and sought after the growth and
maturity of the graces of the Holy Spirit. His sickness was of three years'
duration, and the disease of which he died, dropsy. As a wise man he in good
time settled all his financial affairs as he wished. As the end drew near he
became more spiritual, and at times apparently lost in contemplating his home
in heaven, triumphing in the hope of eternal life, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. He was three times married, and has left a widow and five children who
"mourn not as those who have o hope." "Follow him as he followed
Christ." H. Williams |

THOS. W. CASEY - The Local Historian, Has Joined his Ancestors
- A prominent citizen of our town, and
a lifelong resident of this county, Mr. Thomas W. Casey, passed over to the
great majority on Friday evening last, after an illness of nearly a year, a
stroke of paralysis the day previous hastening the end of a long and trying
sickness. Deceased was a descendant of
the U.E. Loyalists who landed on the shores of Adolphustown while it was yet
a wilderness, at the close of the American rebellion, loyally preferring to
endure loss of property and hardship that they might remain under the old
flag. Those of his family who landed
at Adolphustown were his grand uncle, Willet Casey, and his grandfather, Wm.
Casey. They were natives of
Providence, R. I., and both were active in the American War, and left for
Canada at its close. They first moved
to the western border of Lake Champlain, supposing it was British territory,
but finding this was not so when the international boundary was finally
settled, they left for Upper Canada.
Willet Casey died in 1848, aged 86 years. William Casey, deceased’s grandfather, died
in 1842, aged 81 years. They were progressive
men. Willet Casey erected the first
iron foundry in the district, probably near “Carnahan Bay,” in the 2d Con. of Adolphustown, and is said to have cast the
first iron mouldboard plows, known to be made in the province. He was also elected to Parliament in about
18-1 and sat for a few years. Later on his son Samuel, was elected to that position, and
in still later years his grandson, Dr. Willet Casey, was elected for Prince
Edward County. William Casey,
grandfather of deceased, erected the first wool-carding mill, located at
first at Lake-on-the-Mountain, now Glenora, early in the century. Deceased was a son of the late Willet
Casey, and inherited his father’s beautiful farm at Casey’s Point, at the
mouth of Hay Bay. He was educated at
Victoria University, Cobourg, and early acquired literary tastes which drew
him away from farming pursuits, and into the newspaper world. In 1874, he purchased the Napanee Express,
and later assumed the Editorship of the Canada Casket, the organ of the
Independent Order of Good Templars, and Grand Secretary for a number of years.
He was a life long total abstainer, and was known from Sarnia to
Halifax as a fluent and earnest temperance worker and lecturer. He was also appointed a provincial inspector by Hon. Oliver Mowat at the time of Dunkin
Act and Scott Act campaigns, and was a conscientious and fearless worker in a
cause which lay near to his heart.
Perhaps the late Thos. W. Casey is better known to a
large number of people in Canada and the United States, through his
researches into the history of the United Empire Loyalists, and his “Old time
records,” which were for years, a feature of the Beaver, and which he
edited. He knew the history of his
loyal ancestors and his native Townships perhaps better than any man now
living, and was consulted from far and near when the tangled skein of family
history needed unravelling. Mr. C. C.
James, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, was a close student of Mr. Casey, and
consulted him frequently in his work of compiling the early history of our
province. Mr. Casey’s ancestors were
amongst the first Methodists in
this the cradle of Methodism,
and deceased was a faithful adherent of the Eastern church. No man will be more missed about town and
county than the late Thos. W. Casey.
His genial smile and kindly interest in all made him particularly
welcome wherever he went, and it will be many a day, and perhaps never,
before one will rise up who will study and place on
record the early history and heroic deeds of our forefathers. Mr. Casey was a life long, but broad minded
member of the Reform Party, and was at
one time a candidate for the local legislature, being defeated by the late
Hon. John Stevenson in a three-cornered fight, in which the late Benj. C.
Davy was a candidate. Besides his
bereaved and faithful wife, he leaves one son, Mr. Willet F. Casey, of
Boston, Mass., and four daughters, Mrs. A. R. Davis, Brandon, Man.; Miss
Nellie, Troy, N.Y., and Misses Anna and Dora at home. The funeral services were conducted at his
home on Monday afternoon, by Rev. C. E. McIntyre, who spoke feelingly and
eloquently of the good qualities and sterling goodness of the deceased. The
remains were afterwards interred in the Eastern cemetery. Amongst the relatives from a distance in
attendance were his cousins, Dr. John Farley, Belleville; Wm Farley, Brighton; Col. Farley, Quebec City; Charles Farley, Belleville; Albert Anderson, Rossmore, and Mr. and Mrs.
R. J. Carson, Kingston. The angel of death has been amongst us again and this time
summoned home the spirit of T.W. Casey, to be forever with the Lord. The death
occurred yesterday at 5:30 p.m. The deceased had been confined to the house
since early last fall, but on Thursday morning suffered a stroke of paralysis
and passed away without regaining consciousness. The deceased was born in
Adolphustown sixty-nine years ago, a descendant of the U.E. Loyalists who
settled in that district after the war of 1783. He lived all his long, active
life in this district and was known far and wide by his clever writings about
the early history and the old settlers in the district. He was able to write
his “old time records” until last fall. A family of five children, besides
his widow, survive. They are Willet F. Casey, Dorchester, Mass.; Alice, Mrs.
A.R. Davis, Brandon, Man.; Dora, Rochester; Nellie and Annie at home. Mrs.
Casey and Miss Nellie are both confined to their rooms, suffering with la
grippe. The sympathy of the town goes out to the sorrowing ones in their sad
bereavement. The funeral will be announced later. The deceased was known
throughout the whole province, as a staunch advocate of temperance and spoke
at meetings in the cause wherever an opportunity presented itself. |

A. W. Caton Dies at Grimsby The death occurred at Grimsby, Ontario, on Saturday, November
19, of Archibald Wesley Caton, a former well-known resident of Napanee and
Newburgh. His funeral was held at his
late residence in Grimsby and interment was made at Newburgh cemetery on
Tuesday afternoon. The late Mr. Caton was born a little over eighty years ago at
Newburgh and was a son of the late Allan Caton, druggist of the village. His youth and young manhood were spent in
Newburgh and after his marriage to Hattie Lloyd, daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Benjamin Lloyd of the Newburgh Road, he took up farming north of
Napanee. For some years, at a later
period, he lived in Montreal and Cleveland, where he was a representative of
an American fish company. Some time
later he and his wife returned to the Lloyd farm about three miles from
Napanee, where Mr. Caton conducted a dairy farm. His herd of Jerseys was well known
throughout Ontario, and Mr. Caton’s progressive ideas brought him
considerable success in his farming. After farming for a number of years,
Mr. and Mrs. Caton brought the Finkle home in Newburgh, where they lived
until Mrs. Caton’s death, over ten years ago.
A few years ago, Mr. Caton married Mary A. Meeks of Grimsby and lived
in Grimsby until his death . His only
son, Morris Caton, died in New York about three years ago, leaving a son and
a daughter, who reside in the United States. |

A sad death occurred on August 9th at Adolphustown

illness. Chalmers - At Adolphustown, on Tuesday, Aug. 9th, 1910, Arthur
Chalmers, aged 19 years, 10 months and 3 days. Death of Arthur Chalmers On the morning of August 9th, at the home of his cousin, Thomas
Chalmers, where he was visiting when his last sickness attacked him, died
Arthur Chalmers, youngest son of Mrs. Wm. Chalmers, of Parma. Though of
delicate health for a year or so, and his last illness was very severe, yet
death's swift approach was hardly suspected. His short life has been a most
innocent one, and withal a useful one. He was a very constant worshipper and
regular communicant in St. Alban's Church, Adolphustown, and with his fine
bass voice assisted very effectively in the choir work of the church. It
seemed that he could ill be spared. But the fiat had gone forth, "The
Lord hath need of him." After only nineteen years of life on earth, the
Lord has called him to the higher service in His Paradise. The burial service
was held August 11th in his old home at Parma, on account of his mother's
weak condition, the consequence of constant nursing, the interment being in
the family plot of St. Alban's Church yard. The vast number who attended the
service showed, very clearly, general esteem for the deceased, as well as
tender sympathy with his sorrowing mother, brothers
and sisters. |

Chalmers, Capt. James |
The sad news reached town yesterday of the death of Capt.
Chalmers, of Adolphustown village, father of reeve Chalmers. Last Friday
while he was unlading grain in the barn something went wrong with the fork,
and it broke striking him on the side. He lingered until yesterday morning.
Deceased was well and popularly known in Adolphustown, having been a captain
on the lakes for a number of years and was respected
by all who knew him. Death of Capt. Chalmers Captain James Chalmers, one of the most respected and best known
farmers in Adolphustown died at his residence on Monday evening last under
particularly sad and painful circumstances. We are informed that on Friday of
last week he was assisting to unload some grain with a horse fork when a rope
broke, in consequence of which he was struck so violently in the side by a
whiffle-tree that he died on Monday, having suffered greatly in the meantime.
He was born in Ireland, being a relative, we believe, of the celebrated Rev.
Dr. Chalmers, of Scotland. The family, consisting then of the parents and six
children, came to Canada about forty years ago and settled in this section.
He followed sailing in his earlier years and was captain of some lake
vessels. About twenty years ago he purchased the old Casey homestead in the
front of Adolphustown, where he has ever since resided. He was a successful
farmer, an excellent neighbor and was highly respected by all as an honorable
and upright citizen. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at St. Alban's
church, Adolphustown, of which he was for many years an honored and
consistent member. It was very largely attended, citizens of all creeds and
classes, from all parts of the township and surrounding country were present
to pay their last tribute of respect to one whom they all held in high esteem
during his life. He was the father of Mr. Frank Chalmers, Reeve of Adolphustown,
and of Walter Chalmers, who is with his brother in the store and post office
in that place. Another son was a graduate of the Royal Military College at
Kingston, and is now connected with the Mounted Police in the North West.
There are also two unmarried daughters at home, and a son in California, who
is a successful farmer. Within a few years five members of this family have died, all of
whom were well known and highly respected by many readers of THE BEAVER. Mr.
Thomas Chalmers died quite suddenly a few years ago on his farm in
Adolphustown. He was unmarried. Later his brother, Peter, with whom he was in
partnership, died on the same farm, leaving a large family, and now James has
followed. Mrs. Charles Drury, a sister, and recently her husband, residents
of the township north of Hay Bay, have both died. Also a married sister,
residing in North Hastings. All that now remains of a large and healthy
family of a few years ago, is Mr. William Chalmers, a well known farmer
residing near Parma. "Friend after friend departs, Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, Here doth not find an end." |

The Late Peter Chalmers, Adolphustown The announcement of the death of Peter Chalmers, of pneumonia,
on Feb. 6th, at the age of sixty-two years, was received with profound regret
throughout a large section of the surrounding country, for no man has ever
been better loved and more highly esteemed for his public and private virtues
by the community in which he lived than he. He was a native of Ireland,
having been born in the county of Wicklow on the 24th Dec., 1831. With his
parents and brothers and sisters he came to Canada in the year 1849. In the
year 1868 he married Jane Russell, daughter of Thos. Russell, of North
Fredericksburgh, and settled upon the picturesque spot at the head of
Carnahan bay, in Adolphustown, which has been his home ever since; and where
he has brought up his family of seven children, six of whom; one son and five
daughters, survive to mourn with their stricken mother their irreparable
loss. His property, the fruits of his honourable toil, consists of two
hundred acres of arable land, upon which only two years ago he erected a fine
residence. He was a member of the Church of England, and in politics was a
staunch conservative. The funeral of the deceased took place on Thursday, 8th
inst., and was the occasion of an immense gathering of friends and
acquaintances. The service was held in St. Alban's Memorial church by the
Rev. R.S. Forneri, who preached the funeral sermon, taking his text from Luke
XII-10. "We are all mourners here this morning," said the preacher,
"a life of practical godliness, a life that proclaimed by every act that
our departed brother was a true follower of God, has come to a premature end.
The wise and loving husband and father, the staunch friend, the high-minded
citizen, the earnest churchman, the diligent worker - Peter Chalmers, with
his open hand and big heart, has passed from our sight, but never from our
love or our memory. The empty place in the home can only be filled by Him
that has made it empty. Every member of this church must feel with me
(continued the preacher) that a strong stay has gone from us. A wider circle,
for whom I may presume to speak, mourn the loss of a dear friend, a still
wider one, represented by all here present from near and far, feel an
affectionate and earnest sympathy with the stricken hearts in the mourners'
pew to-day." Later on in the discourse the
preacher dwelt more particularly upon the character of the departed, and
showed how "to live the life of practical christianity
was the end of his desire and of his deed. History of the Chalmers - The Story of the Ancestry of the
Family Shortly Presented - With reference to the obituary notice of the late Peter
Chalmers, of Adolphustown, which appeared in our issue of 17th Feb., a
relative of his in Scotland writes to us as follows: "You describe
Peter Chalmers as a native of Ireland, which is true in the sense that a man
is said to be a native of the country in which he was born. His father, Peter
Chalmers, was a native of the parish of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland,
who lived in Ireland for a few years before settling in Canada. His father,
James Chalmers, was a farmer in Mains of Mause in
Blairgowrie parish, whose wife's name was Margaret McGlashan. They had eleven
children of whom Peters was the eldest. They belonged to a race of sterling
worth, long settled in the parish. There has always been one or more of them
elders in the Kirk session of Blairgowrie since the reformation. The above
James Chalmers' father, William, was ordained to the eldership in 1759, and
his father, James (Cauldhame) in 1715. He was the
James Chalmers mentioned in the famous story of "The Chalet o'Mause (1730) which was seen by a man named Soutar. The
Chalmers' traced their descent from Thomas de Camera, of Drumloughlie
parish of Blairgowrie, who received a charter of the lands of Drumlouchie from King Robert the Bruce" (See p. 18
No. 90, Robertson's Index of Charters.) CHALMERS - At Adolphustown, Feb. 6th, Peter Chalmers, aged 62

when taken with a heart seizure and died immediately. To many friends, the sudden death of Mr. Chalmers will bring
sincere regret. He was widely known in Belleville and throughout the district
and was highly esteemed. For many years he was engaged in the farm implement
agency business in Belleville as representative for the Frost and Wood
Company of Smiths Falls. For a time the business was known as Chalmers and
Hollis; later a change was made and the firm became Chalmers and Hubbs. This
arrangement was dissolved in 1930 and from that time until 1932 when he retired,
he conducted the business alone. In every respect he was a good citizen; he
resided in Belleville and in the vicinity since 1914. The late Mr. Chalmers, who was in his 74th year, was born at
Adolphustown, Lennox County, his parents being the late Mr. and Mrs. William
Chalmers. During his residence in Belleville he was a faithful member of St.
Thomas' Anglican Church and served at one time as a warden and
also as a representative to the diocesan Synod. Fraternally he was a
life member of Prince Edward Lodge No. 18 A.F. & A.M. Mr. Chalmers was twice married, his first wife was Margaret
David; she died in 1945 and a year ago last May he married Mabel Roblin, who
survives him, together with a son, Mr. Gordon Chalmers, Trent Road. |

Obituary - Wm. Chalmers Death of the last of a large family. St. Alban's church, Adolphustown, was filled an many had to
remain outside on Monday last, the occasion being the funeral of the late
William Chalmers, of South Fredericksburgh, who died very suddenly on Friday
last. Deceased had been enjoying the best of health for some weeks, even
better than he had previously been, was jovial and able to do work upon the
farm. He retired about ten o'clock and before he had gone to sleep felt a
distress in his throat, got up and sat in a chair and asked from a drink of
water. He said he believed he was going, which were the last words he said
that could be understood. He shook his wife's
hand and tried to speak but could not and passed away in a few
minutes. Dr. Northmore was telephoned for but before he could arrive he had
passed away from the earth to join a son and three brothers and two sisters
who had gone before, all but one having died within the last few years,
making a death each year for '93, '94,'95,'96. He leaves a fine family of
five boys and four girls, and their mother and many friends to mourn his
loss. Peter Chalmers, the father of this family, moved from Scotland to
Ireland when a young man, and followed the calling of land steward there. He
married and raised a family of four boys and two girls, living in the
counties of Wicklow and Carlo. About forty-eight years ago the family moved
to Canada. The direct object in view was the taking of a farm to work
belonging to the father's brother, who was then lock master near Montreal or
Ottawa and teaching his son the business, but just the night before they
arrived this brother died; thus they changed their course and went to
Toronto, thinking of taking up a farm in the wooded condition and clearing
it. But one son, James, having a letter to Major Boucher at Kingston, said he
would take the letter to him and perchance something else might turn up.
Major Boucher went to the mayor of the city and he offered to give the young
man a position on the police force, but he declined, saying he would not like
the work; his business was farming. He was then given a letter to a Church of
England minister in Adolphustown, who in those days made their living out of
farms belonging to the parish. Although he did not get a situation with this
gentleman he got work near by, and after attending church service on the
following Sunday and seeing the congregation he thought he had come to a good
land, and immediately wrote to the rest of the family at Toronto, who in a
short time came to him and settled in or near Adolphustown. James Chalmers
afterwards sailed on the bay and lakes for seventeen years, after which he
took to faming only, at which he worked until his death. The rest of the
family all took to farming and have made homes for themselves and families. A
singular incident of the family is that they loved to be together and have
died within a short space of time. Thomas Chalmers died in 1866, Mrs. Eliza
Chalmers Hart died in 1888, Mrs. Margaret Chalmers Drury died in 1893, Peter
Chalmers died in 1894, James Chalmers died in 1895, William Chalmers died in
1896, the last four leaving large families. Died Very Suddenly – William Chalmers, of Parma, a South
Fredericksburgh farmer, died very suddenly on Friday evening last, after a
sickness of but a few hours. His brother, Capt. Chalmers, of Adolphustown,
died very suddenly about this time last year. They are the last of a large
and respectable family, residents of Adolphustown for many years past. |

Mrs. William Chalmers, Parma, died on March 29th,
aged seventy-five years. She was an Anglican and a noble lady. Four sons and
four daughters, one, Harry Chalmers, living in Kingston. One of the most highly respected residents of the community, in
the person of Mrs. William Chalmers, passed away at her home, Parma, on
Saturday, the 29th day of March. The funeral on Monday was largely attended,
the burial service being taken by her Clergyman, the Rev. A.S. Dickinson,
rector of Adolphustown. Mrs. Chalmers was in her seventy-fifth year and had
lived most of her days in the home where she died. Latterly her health had
not been all that might be desired, and when stricken with influenza about a
month ago, her illness proved fatal. Mrs. Chalmers will be greatly missed by
a host of friends to whom she had endeared herself. She was a kind neighbor
and a loyal, consistent God fearing church woman. The good influence exerted
by her during life will be a lasting tribute to her memory, for it manifests
itself in the lives of her sons and daughters who are a creditable, living
witness to the wise counsel and careful training of a good Christian mother,
who was dearly loved by them all. Mrs. Chalmers leaves to mourn her loss four
sons, Harry of Kingston; Herbert, of Belleville; George, of Adolphustown;
Albert, at home and four daughters, Mrs. F.B. Roblin, Mrs. Hugh Milling, Mrs.
Roy Johnston, and Miss Gertrude, all of whom have the sincere sympathy of their
many friends and neighbours in their recent bereavement. |

men of the early days of Napanee, 50 years ago, passed away early Sunday
morning in the person of Fred Chinneck, at the age of 73 years, after a six
months illness. He was active in his
business until last November. This was
his first and only illness due no doubt to his regular and conservative
habits of living and fortunately he suffered no pain during his
sickness. Born in Devonport,
Devonshire, England, he came to Ontario a boy of about 9 years, with his
parents, and lived in the County of Wellington till grown up. He came east to Napanee in 1873, and
established the Jewellery business which still bears his name. He was a lifelong Conservative and a member
of the Church of England, and leaves to mourn his loss a son and daughter in
the business here, and daughter, Mrs. Foley, in Medicine Hat, Alta. Owing to the fact that
the Rev. Mr. Coleman had to be away on Tuesday, the funeral was held on

SAD DEATH AT CHIPPEWA -
One of the saddest deaths ever recorded took place on Dec 14th,
when Miss Mary A. Clair passed to her reward.
What the reward was we know not but we do know that Mary was a
constant worker of the church and a devoted member of the Sacred Heart. Deceased had been ailing for some time
previous to her death but during her long and weary hours of illness she was
never know to complain and was always willing to
share her lot however unpleasant it was.
Mary was of an amiable and lively disposition which endeared her to
all. Through life she won many
friends, but all the while her young life was nearing its destiny. What a sadness it was for her dear ones to
think that she must be removed from their earthly eyes forevermore, but all
was in vain for Mary had to go. Her
funeral which was one of the largest seen in some time, consisted of nearly
ninety vehicles, followed the remains to the Roman Catholic Church, Chippewa,
where a solemn high mass of requiem was sung by Rev. Father O’Reilly, after
which the remains were place in the vault to await interment in the spring. Her pallbearers were Edward and James
Tallon, John and Joseph Dowling and Thomas and Michael Moran. The sorrowing family have the deepest
sympathy of the whole community in their sad hour of bereavement. |

One of the Oldest Residents Dead. Henry L. Clapp, one of the oldest settlers died Sunday March 13th,
1921. Mr. Clapp was born in
Adolphustown, Canada, Nov. 2nd 1840. He was the son of Dorland L. Clapp and
Eleanor Huffman Clapp. He moved with
his parents to Watertown, N.Y., in 1840, and to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1856. At this time he was not satisfied with the
prospects for Nebraska and so he traveled on to investigate conditions in
several of the western states, but returned to Nebraska and in 1867 took a
homestead five miles northwest of the present town of Elmwood. Mr. Clapp’s father was one of the original
homesteaders of this community and lived to a ripe old age, passing away in
1909 at the age of 96. His mother died
in 1894. He was the oldest of four
children, a sister, Minerva Clapp Robinson, died in 1906. A brother, Charles D., died in 1919 and
Smith J., now living in Logan, Kas.
Mr. Clapp’s father and brother, Chas. D., helped to build some of the
first houses in Lincoln, and in many of the smaller towns in the western part
of the state. On Oct. 9th,
1872, Mr. Clapp married to Jennie Conn, of Greenwood, Nebraska, who survives
him. He also leaves a daughter, Mrs.
Blanche C. Harger, of Chicago, and one son, Henry L, of Elmwood, and two
grandchildren, Marion and James Harger. Mr. Clapp’s estate still retains the
original homestead, although in 1884 he moved to another farm two miles south
of the old home, and in 1894, he moved into Elmwood, where he has since made
his home. Mr. Clapp was stricken with
his last illness in December, 1919 and was confined to his home and most of
the time to his bed since then.
Through all his long and trying illness he was patient and cheerful
and sought to make the lot of his nurse and wife as pleasant as possible. In business life he was known throughout
eastern Nebraska and was the epitome of honor and was greatly respected. At his request the funeral was held at the family home on Tuesday, March
15th, by his pastor, Rev. F. E. Sala, and was laid to rest in the
Elmwood cemetery. |

For the Hallowell Free Press.
An Awful Providence. Mr. Editor, Sir, - Viewing in your Editorial remarks in the last number of
the Free Press, a short notice of a distressing scene which occurred in this
town on Sunday last, relative to the death of Mr. Philip Clapp, and believing
a more particular description of this awful exhibition of Omnipotent power
would be satisfactory to some of your readers and might convey through the
medium of the press, intelligence of the awful catastrophe to some distant
friends, I send you for insertion a detail of the circumstances as far as I
have been able to collect them. The deceased it appears after returning from preaching on Sunday
afternoon, went into the field to drive up his cows; on his return a sudden thunder shower
arose, and before he could reach his dwelling to elude the rain that now
descended in torrents, it would appear took shelter under the wide spreading
boughs of an elm. He had not remained
long under this fabled asylum before a flash of lightning came
in contact with the top of the tree, and descending the same with the
quickness of thought, hurried the victim of its vengence
into the presence of the "Judge of quick and dead." And here let me observe, that it would be
injustice to language to attempt to give a literal description of the scene to a
non-beholder; suffice it to say, that
not one thread of any part of his clothing remained on the body when first
discovered, except the collar of his shirt and his neck handkerchief. From appearance the electric fluid passed
down the body, tearing and scattering to the distance of several rods the
entire clothing he had on, passing out at the bottom of the foot without
injuring the body to outward appearance, except the second toe, which was cut
off. A coroner's Inquest was held on
Monday before S. Washburn, Esq. - Verdict of the Jury "that the deceased
came to his death by a stroke of lightning." On Tuesday his remains were carried
"to that borne from whence no traveller returns" amid a throng of
weeping friends and relations. A very solemn feeling and appropriate address was delivered by
the Rev. R. Heyland, founded on Numbers 23d Chap.
10th verse, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end
be like his." Your's Respectfully &c . J. ROSE Marysburgh, Sept 13, 1832. |

On Saturday, at Downey's wharf, Conway, Bruce Claringbold, aged
12 years, son of Henry Claringbold, farmer, was drowned. He was in company
with Overton Benjamin, a youth about his own age, son of Silas Benjamin, of
the same place. They were fishing off the dock, and Bruce, in reaching down
to put a fish on his string which hung suspended in the water, lost his balance and fell in, striking his head against a piece of
timber which projected from the dock, which so stunned him that he at once
sank to the bottom. Overton waited a moment or two for his companion to raise
to the surface, thinking he could save him, and as he did not at once gave
the alarm. Mr. Downey and his men, who were working near by ran and succeeded
quickly in recovering the body, but life was extinct. All the efforts put
forth to resuscitate were of no avail. Bruce was a bright youth of much
promise, and deep sympathy is expressed for his parents, who are overwhelmed

CLARK - At South Fredericksburgh, on Thursday, Jan 6th, 1910,
Jane Frances Clark, wife of W. T. Clark, aged 76 years and 2 months. Funeral
from her late residence on Saturday at 1 o'clock. The subject of this obituary, whose maiden name was Jane F.
Williams, was born in the City of Savannah, Georgia, seventy-six years ago
last November. When a child of eight years of age she came with her parents
to New York, when in a very short time her father, John Williams, fell ill
with yellow fever, and died. Then she came with her mother to Lansdowne, Ont.
At the age of thirteen, the Rev. Michael Fawcett brought her to Adolphustown
for her health. He was a great friend of the family and always called her
"little Jane." Later her mother came and married Darius Gilbert,
their home being occupied now by a cousin, T.F. Gibbs, Adolphustown. At that
home fifty years ago last June she married William T. Clark, son of the late
James Clark, the ceremony being performed by Rev. J.H. Starr. Last June being the fiftieth anniversary, the children had
a small celebration. She was the mother of seven children, the eldest, James
E., in Winnipeg Man.; Frank W., Melita, Man., Arthur R. and George H. on the
homestead and farm adjoining, and Helen M. at home. A little girl, Hattie
May, died some years ago. During the pastorate of the Rev. Wm. Bryers, on the Bath
circuit, 57 years ago, both she and her husband yielded their lives in
consecration to Christ and joined the Methodist church, worshipping first in
the old Hay Bay church, afterwards in the U.E.L. church at Dorland, where she
remained a member until death. Her husband is a steward in the same church
yet. In the home she was a devoted wife and fond mother. As long as health permitted she attended the public
services of the church, but when failing health came she bore the affliction
patiently, and awaited the coming of the Lord. On January 6th, she was not
for her Lord had taken her. The funeral service was held at her home on
January 8th, by her pastor, Rev. J.W. Bunner. When the summons came she heard
it gladly, and spoke of the dear ones gone before, as she had so few of her
relatives besides her own family, only three nephews, Dr. E.W. Wright,
Brooklyn, N.Y.; Dr. G.F. Wright, Madoc, Ont., and Dr. M. Wright, of New York,
their mother being her only sister, who died twenty-two years ago. |

his home on King street, when death claimed Captain Paul Clark. Captain Clark has been in declining health
for a few years past, but more particularly during the last year, when he
failed greatly in health. Heart
trouble was the immediate cause of death.
It could be safely said that Captain Clark’s face would be known in
every port, in this part of the province.
He had been a mariner for more than forty years, first sailing on
schooners, and a little later being master of his own craft. He first owned
the schooner Ocean Wave; then the schooner J. W. Langmuir, and afterwards the
Kate, of Oakville. Selling this latter
vessel he retired for awhile to his farm at Cherry Valley. But he soon gave up farming, acquired the
steamer C.H. Merritt and helped make her the popular excursion boat she was.
About nine years ago, however, he gave up sailing and retired. Captain Clark
was born in Marysburgh seventy-six years ago.
Today would have been the anniversary of his birth. He was one of a family of twelve
children. In his early manhood he went
to California, and engaged in mining operations. After a few years he returned East and
continued his career, which he had begun before going west as a mariner. Later, a second time, he journeyed west, to
California and Oregon. The deceased was a member of the Church of England, a
Conservative in politics and a Royal Arch Mason. He was twice married, his first wife being
Miss Elizabeth Welbanks of Marysburgh, and his
second wife, Mrs. Corkindale, who survives him. The surviving family beside the widow, are
three sons, Frank, in Brighton; Palen,
in Stouten, Sask., and David, of Picton.
There also five sisters, Mrs. James Walmsley, Picton; Mrs. William Walmsley, Picton; Mrs. L. Nethery, Hillier, Mrs. P. Hawley,
South Bay; Mrs. C. Church, Picton; and
two brothers, Mr. Palen Clark, Portland, Oregon and A. Clark, South Bay. The funeral of the deceased will be held
this afternoon; service at the King
street residence at two o’clock, under the direction of the Masonic order.
Thence the remains will be taken to Cherry Valley cemetery for burial. |

Clark, Peregrene Maitland |
Obituary - Peregrene M. Clark, Esq. In the death of Peregrene Maitland
Clark, Esq., which occurred at Mill Haven on the 10th inst., the township of
Ernesttown has lost an old and well known resident. He was born in that
township eighty two years ago, and spent all his days, we believe, in his
native place. He was of U.E. Loyalist stock. His grandfather Robert Clark, was
in the active ranks of the Loyalist Army during the war of the American
rebellion. He was one of the earliest of the Loyalist refugees in this
Province and built the first grist mills erected in the province, for the
Government. These were at Kingston Mills - built in 1784-5 - and Napanee -
built in 1786-7. He was also one of the earliest magistrates in the Midland
District. His old account book in connection with the building of the mill here,
and the old records of the Magistrates sittings, of which he was a member,
were held until a couple of years ago by the late P.M. Clark and are now in
the possession of the Government at Toronto. The father of the deceased, the
late Col. John Collins Clark, was also a prominent resident of Ernesttown, -
one of its earliest school teachers, a magistrate
and an officer in the Militia. If we remember right he first nominated Sir
Richard Cartwright as a candidate to represent this County. The late Peregrene Maitland Clark was also an officer in the
Militia and had in his possession at the time of his death, - handed down to
him by his father - a sword taken from an American officer by a British
officer at the memorable battle of Lundy's Lane. He also had a number of relics and documents of a good deal of
historic interest. Mr. Lewis Clark, turnkey of the gaol here is a brother of
the deceased. His wife and several children survive him. |

Clark, Samuel D. |
The late Samuel D. Clark J.P. He Was a Native of the Township in Which He Died Mr. Clark, Odessa, who died today (Friday), was a native of
Ernesttown and has resided in the township all his life. He was born on his
father's farm, near Odessa, seventy years ago, and lived on the homestead
until a dozen years ago, when he moved to Odessa, where he resided since. He
was a man of liberal education, extensive reading and of much more than
ordinary intelligence - an excellent type of the intelligent yeomanry of his
native county. He was of good U.E. Loyalist stock. His great grandfather Robert
Clark, was one of the first of the U.E.L. refugees who arrived at Kingston,
after having done loyal service in the British ranks during the American
revolution. During that time he got
necessarily separated from his wife and family and it was several years
before they again met. He was the government carpenter who built the first
government grist mills in this province - the first at Kingston Mills in 1784
and at Napanee Mills in 1785. He then
settled on the bay shore in Ernesttown, where some of his descendants yet
reside. His grandfather, Matthew Clark, was also a prominent Justice of the
peace and colonel of the militia among the early settlers. The deceased was several years superintendent of schools in
Ernesttown, and a well known Methodist local preacher. He was also an active
temperance worker and a justice of the peace. No doubt he well improved his
abilities and opportunities in the cause of God and humanity. He had been
suffering sickness from the commencement of this year, and for months past it
was evident that his case was beyond human aid; but he viewed his end with a
calm and christian resignation, having well served his generation, his church and his God. He married Miss Mary Day, many years ago, who survives him, with
their son, Dr. C. Day Clark, now assistant supreme physician I.O. Foresters
at Toronto and Mrs. T. M. Caton, Ernesttown. CLARK - At Odessa, on Oct. 20th, 1899, S.D. Clark, aged 70

Close, Sam J. |
Obituary - The Late S.J. Close In the passing of Mr. Sam. Close another of the few links between
the present life of the district and the pioneer days is severed. Mr. Close
was the son of Mr. Hugh Close, who came to America in 1830 and settled in
Baltimore, where he owned a large and prosperous blacksmith shop in the days
when horses were more plentiful than they are now. From Baltimore he visited friends on the Bay Front, near what is
now Conway, and was persuaded to remain. When he married he moved to North
Fredericksburgh, taking up land, which has ever since remained in the family.
The late Sam. Close was the only surviving son, and had lived all his life on
the homestead, having helped to clear the original bush and trees, and living
long enough to see it one of the best farms in the district. The four brothers have all predeceased him, and there are left
to mourn his loss his four sisters, Miss Catharine Close, who lived on the
farm with him; Mrs. John Curle, Mrs. Louise Curle, of Fredericksburgh, and
Mrs. Julia Edgett, of Waterloo, N.Y. A
niece, Miss Fannie Close, also lived at the homestead with him. The funeral was held on Monday from this late home, the Rev.
A.J. Wilson, of St. Andrew's Church, officiating. The elders of the church
acted as pall-bearers, Mr. Close having been a member of the session for many
years. The very large attendance at the funeral of people from all over
the surrounding country-side, testified to the high esteem in which Mr. Close
was held by all who knew him. North Fredericksburgh loses a valued citizen; those who survive,
a devoted brother and friend, and St. Andrew's Church, a loyal and consistent
elder. |

Obituary - Thomas Close In Shannonville, on the 1st of June, Mr. Tom Close, who for the
last three months had not enjoyed the best of health, passed suddenly away.
Mr. Close was a son of the late Mr. Hugh Close, of Fredericksburgh, and as a
young man he worked the farm on the land known as the Close's mill property.
But about twenty years ago, when the rush to the west was at its height, he
moved to Carman, Man., where he took up farming. From a youth he had suffered
with one of his knees, the ligaments of which had been strained as a boy, and
as he grew older he found the work on the farm increasingly difficult, until
he was forced to retire. He entered business in Carman, but still retained
his farm, which he had worked for him. About six years ago Mr. close returned
to the east to settle for the remainder of his life in Napanee, but feeling a
life of idleness a burden he accepted an opportunity to enter business again
in Shannonville, and it was here that he remained until taken by death. In his passing, Mr. Close leaves a host of friends and
acquaintances in and around Napanee, and in the west, who will for long
remember his fine manly qualities and his happy genial nature. Able always to
meet even a difficult and embarrassing situation with a smile and in a
philosophic manner, his attitude to life infected others to their own good. There survive him his wife, formerly miss Wilson, of
Shannonville; Mrs. J. Curle and Mrs. Louise Curle, of Fredericksburgh; Mrs.
Julia Edgett, of Waterloo, N.Y.; Miss Catharine and Mr. Sam. Close, who live
on the homestead at Fredericksburgh. Mr. Close was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church,
Napanee. His connection with that church reaches back to the time when as a
boy he drove the ox team that prepared the foundations and helped to draw the
stones from the quarries. The funeral service was held in his late home, at which Rev.
Wood, of Melrose, presided, assisted by Rev. Topping, of Shannonville, and
Rev. A. J. Wilson, of Napanee. Interment was made in the family plot at
Riverside cemetery. |

DAVID A. CLUTE - One of the oldest and most respected residents
of South Fredericksburgh, passed suddenly away at his home at Sillsville,
early on the sixth of March. Deceased had been in poor health for some time
past, but retired the night before as well as usual, after conducting evening
worship with his family. He was born in 1823, on the old Clute homestead, on
the Bay of Quinte shore, near No. 17 and was a son of Col. Clute, and
grandson of Col. Thompson, also a nephew of Sir John Johnston, of Kingston.
He lived all his life in the township, and is the last of the old Clute
family except one brother in Western Ontario. He was a staunch Conservative,
taking an active part always as he was councillor for eleven years and
treasurer for a few years for the township. About 38 years ago he was married
to Eva Eliza daughter of Hiram Smith, of the same place, who survives him.
They were blessed with eight children, five girls and three boys, all of whom
are living except one girl, Mabel, who died when quite young. The children
are Mrs. Jonas Garrison of Parma; Mrs. T.A. Choate, of Woodville; John A. of
Thorpe; Hiram, of Assiniboia N.Y.; Stewart L. of Sunbury and two daughters, Ethel and Eva at home. He was a Presbyterian in faith, and
for some time previous had said that all was well with him, and seemed
exceptionally bright, and his mind was as firm as it was for years though he
was the ripe age of 82 years and 9 months. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. W. Boyce, B.A, B.D. of Conway, on Thursday 8th March, at
Sillsville church, and were largely attended. The remains were taken to
Napanee and placed in the Eastern vault to await interment, when the burial
will take place in the old family plot in the McDowall Presbyterian cemetery
at Sandhurst. The bereaved widow and family have the sympathy of the entire
community in their affliction. |

and unexpected death of Mrs. John Clute, of the Township of Ernesttown, and
the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Funnell, formerly of Morven
Ont. The whole community was shocked
when it was reported that Mrs. Clute had passed away on Sunday morning, March

bereavement. The funeral was conducted
on Tuesday, March 14th, the memorial service being held in the

deceased, assisted by Revds. R. Allin and W.S.P. Boyce, B.D., a large
audience being present to pay their last tribute of respect to one of the
most highly respected members of the community. Mrs. Clute was a consistent Christian and
for years a member of the Methodist Church, the interests of which she
cheerfully served, as she was able and in her own home she was a devoted
wife, and a kind and loving mother, and while we mourn we do not as those who
have no hope, for knowing the deceased as we did, we believe our loss is Mrs.
Clute’s infinite gain. “She has gone
to be with Christ, which is far better”.
The remains were placed in the vault at Morven, and in the spring will
be interred in the family plot, to await the resurrection of the Just. [ * A birth announcement follows; for a daughter born to Mr. and

MARGARET AND MAGDALENE CLUTE - (**written in February 1901**) Two
very old and highly respected sisters, natives of South Fredericksburgh,
where much of their active days was spent, died within four days of each
other, on the 14th and 18th inst., aged respectively 82 and 92 years. They
were among the last surviving connecting links of the pioneers of his county
and the present generation. They were daughters of Major John G. Clute, one
of the UE loyalists who came to this county with the original loyalist
pioneers. Their mother was a stepdaughter of Ensign Timothy Thompson, MPP,
who represented this county in the old Upper Canada Legislature for twelve
years. They were grand-daughters of Sir John Johnson whose name was so
prominent among the early founders of this province. Their father, John G.
Clute, settled on a farm on the front of "Third Town", nearly
opposite the Upper Gap, where his daughters were born and reared. They both
were well acquainted with and were personal friends of the Rev. Robert
McDowall, the pioneer Presbyterian missionary of this county, and were
members of the congregation and church he founded at Sandhurst. Both have now
their last resting place in the burying ground of that historic old McDowall
memorial church, beside their relatives of three generations and near beside
the McDowall family. Both of them saw the building
of that church, and assisted, in some capacity, in the work, and both
retained to the last excellent memories of the foundation of the church and
of its early members. Miss Margaret never married and spent nearly all her
active days in her native county. She died on Thursday, 14th inst., at the
residence of her brother, Mr. David Clute, near Sillsville, and the funeral
took place at the old Memorial Church on Saturday, 16th. She died of old age.
Magdalene Clute married Nicholas Murdoch, also a native of the township and
of UEL descent, in 1833, and nearly thirty years of their married life, was
spent in South Fredericksburgh. There, their ten children were all born, we believe, of whom
seven still survive. Mr. Murdoch, died at Newburgh nearly thirty years ago
and lies buried near the McDowall family plot at Sandhurst. Mrs. Murdoch's
burial took place there on Wednesday, 20th, beside her kin. She had a most
wonderful and retentive memory up to the last and could give more interesting
and correct personal reminiscences of her personal recollections of events
that happened in this county eighty or more years ago than any person we have
ever met. She remembered seeing the American war fleet pass through the Upper
Gap on its way to Kingston and down the St. Lawrence during the American war
of 1812-15. It passed directly in front of her father's home. She remembered
too, seeing, when a child, the burning of the first St. Paul's church at
Sandhurst, said by Rev. John Langhorn to have been the first Church of
England "built from the ground for that purpose," in Upper Canada,
save the Indian church at Brantford. Her personal recollections of most of
the prominent early pioneers were of great interest. She was a great reader
and a woman of much intelligence and experience. She assisted the other
members in church when it was built and her husband built and presented the
pulpit, which is still used and is a good specimen of joiner's skill. She
died at the residence of her daughter, Mr. H.W. Casey, Kingston, with whom
she made it her home for years, and from whom she received every care and
attention. Clute - At South Fredericksburgh on March 14th, Miss Mary
Margaret Clute, aged eighty-two years. Murdoch - In Kingston on March 18th, 1901, Magdalene Johnston

Cole, Daniel |
DIED - On Friday the 5th of August, at his residence in
Adolphustown, Mr. Daniel Cole, at the very advanced age of 105 years, 1 month
and 12 days. He was a native of Long
Island N.Y., and the oldest settler in this township; he was respected and beloved by all who
knew him - having long performed his duty as a loyal subject, a faithful
friend, a kind husband, an indulgent parent, and an obliging neighbor. Born in the 5th year of the
reign of George the 2d, he lived under 4
Sovereigns, and saw many changes both in the land of his birth, and this of
his adoption. He has beheld the
horrors of war, and has tasted of the blessings of peace; he has seen that which was once a
wilderness, “blossom and flourish like the Rose,” where formerly was nothing to be seen but
the dark shadow of the lofty pine, oak and maple,
here and there broken by the thin blue vapor curling above the Indian
Wigwam; he has seen comfortable
dwellings arise; out of the
superabundance of nature man has supplied his necessities. Beneath the untiring efforts of human
industry, the dark woods have disappeared and waving fields of grain have
taken their place. Where once was seen
nought but the light birch bark canoe of the “son of the forest,” he has
beheld the stately Steam Boats sweep majestically along, - where formerly
resounded the savage howl of the Panther, the Wolf and Bear, he has seen
towns and villages spring up as if by magic;
in fact the very face of the country seems changed since he first sat
down upwards of 52 years ago, as a settler on the place where he died. But after all he saw, he too is gone, his venerable age could
not save him, for we are told “the old must die” - The friends of his early days were all
gone before him; he was becoming “a
stranger among men.” Generations had
arisen and passed away, still he remained like a patriarch of old, unbroken
by the weight of years. After
witnessing the 5th generation he died universally lamented by all
his acquaintances, leaving behind him, 8 children, 75 grandchildren, 172
great-grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren’s children; in all 268
descendants. T.D. Adolphustown, August 9, 1836 1836 - July 5 - At Adolphustown, Upper Canada, Daniel Cole in

Edward Cole Passes Away At Deseronto In Barber Business Nearly Fifty Years – Was 66 Years of Age The many friends of Edward Cole were shocked to hear of his
sudden death which occurred on Sunday evening. Mr. Cole had not been in the
best of health for some time, but was able to attend to his duties and on
Sunday morning arose and had breakfast as usual. About the noon hour, he
suffered a weak spell, having been afflicted with heart trouble for some
time. The doctor was summoned and he was ordered to bed, and shortly before
six o’clock, he suffered another bad spell, passing away in a very short time. Mr. Cole, who was sixty-six years of age, was one of five
children, a son of James Ezra Cole and Elizabeth Donaldson and was born in
the township of North Fredericksburgh. His parents resided at Bethany and his
father was a successful farmer. When a young man he came to Deseronto and
having learned the tonsorial business, entered into

successfully for seventeen years and after the dissolution of partnership,
Mr. Cole opened up a shop and this he had conducted
ever since. He had been in the barber business in this town for nearly half a
century. |

Death of a Venerable Lady - Mrs. Maria Conger, of Picton, born on April 4th 1799, died on
Friday last. She was one of the few living witnesses of the terrible scene
that took place on Hay Bay, Aug. 20th, 1819. At that time a camp meeting was
being held, and on Sunday the entire occupants of the boats while crossing
were precipitated into the water. Two young men and eight young women were
drowned. In 1822 she was married to John D. Conger. The ceremony was
performed by the late Stephen Conger, father of the present Roger B. Conger,
ex-M.P. who still maintains a tolerably vigorous old age. There were born to
them six daughters and four sons - two of the latter being S.M. Conger and
J.W. Conger, editors of the Picton Gazette. The funeral took place on Sunday
last from the residence of her son, J.W. Conger. The active and eventful period of her life was passed at the old
homestead, in the vicinity of Hallowell Mills, and near to the old historic
building generally called Conger's Church. Here the great meetings in
connection with pioneer Methodism were held, and her some of the brightest
and most glowing experiences of her religious life occurred. The old place of
worship still stands in its picturesque simplicity - its antique and massive
timbers still intact - a striking memorial of the sturdy and invincible faith
of the man who laid its foundations nearly a century ago. |

Cooper, Russel |
Cooper - Drowned in the Bay, at South Fredericksburgh, on
Friday, December 6th, 1912, Russell H. Cooper, aged 23 years. OBITUARY – The remains of Russel Cooper, son of Harry Cooper,
Conway, who was drowned in the Bay of Quinte on December 6th,
1912 were found March 29th,
and a large number of sorrowing friends and
relatives gathered at the home on Monday to pay a last tribute to a comrade
and friend. The service was conducted
by Canon Roberts who preached a powerful and instructive sermon. Russel was Anglican in religion and was the
first to be baptised in the new font at Adolphustown, in 1890. He was
twenty-two years of age, young and stalwart, and was well liked by all who
knew him. He has been missed and will
continue so, with those who knew and understood the true character that was
always staunch when tested. The
sympathy of the community goes out to the family, yet in a time like this,
words is no healing. May the God of all grace help
them to look beyond this vale of tears and help them to believe that even as
God has so ordained these temporary separations will end in an eternal
blessing, when friend meets friend to part, no more. He is survived by loving parents, five
sisters, Mrs. Geo. Bongard, Mildred, Annie and Ruth,
of the N.C.I., and Eleanor at home;
also one brother, Edward. The
remains were interred in the family plot at Adolphustown to await the
resurrection morn. |

and out of the whole crew and passengers only 66 persons were saved, no less
than 54 persons were lost, among whom where Mr. Cousens and all his
children. The survivors were
distributed among the persons residing in the neighbourhood of the accident
and Mrs. Cousens was taken into the employment of Col. Penner who then
resided at Lachine, and lived with him until the day of her death a period of
almost 34 years. The old lady was very

ELIZABETH GREENAWAY COWAN -
Died in the township of Euphrasia, June 12th, 1885,
Elizabeth Greenaway, wife of Hamilton Cowan, in the 81st year of
her age. Mother Cowan was born in the
county of Armagh, Ireland, in April, 1805; emigrated with her family to Upper
Canada in 1836, and after a short stay at Little York they settled in the
township of Tevumseh. After having seen their children grown up
and settled in homes of their own, and having secured a competence of earthly
substance, about fourteen years ago the aged couple moved to a home on the
farm and near the residence of their son-in-law, Mr. John Conn, where they
lived until death separated them on the shores of time. Mother Cowan was converted in early youth,
through the reading of a tract given her by a Presbyterian minister, and joined the Presbyterian Church. After moving to Tecumseh she still continued to attend that church, but as she had
suffered from lameness for forty years, which increased with age, she had not
been able to go to the house of God for some time previous to her death, but
she spent much of her time in reading the Word of God, other good books, and
in prayer and meditation. Of the
genuineness of her conversion no one who conversed with her on the subject
could have a doubt. I have visited her
frequently during the past Conference year.
She often expressed her gratitude for those visits, but I felt that I
was receiving the greater benefit.
“The chamber where the good man meets his fate is favored above the
common walks of life, and is indeed close by the verge of heaven.” Her death was peaceful and triumphant. Seven children survive her, all of whom,
with one exception, are members of the Methodist Church; quite a number of
her grandchildren are faithful members of the same Church. On Sabbath, June 15th, we laid
her mortal remains in the Thornbury cemetery, to await the resurrection of
the just. May God bless her aged
companion, and prepare him for the reunion beyond the tide. [signed] G. W. Stevenson |

REV. W. D. CRAIG, B.A. DIES SUDDENLY AT SHANNONVILLE United Church Pastor at Roblin for 4 Years - The death of Rev. W. D. Craig, Minister of the United Church of
Canada, at Shannonville, occurred very suddenly and unexpectedly at his home
on Monday afternoon of this week, at about four o’clock. His funeral is being held at Shannonville
United Church to-day (Wednesday) at 10 a.m.
It is in charge of the Chairman of the
Belleville Presbytery, Rev. H. B. Herrington, and Rev. Dr. R. T. Richards of
Napanee will give the address. Mr. Craig was apparently in his usual good health and his death
came as a great shock to his family and friends. On Sunday he conducted his usual church
services and during the morning on Monday he washed his car, mowed the lawn
around his home and did other work.
Shortly after dinner he went to lie down for a little rest and when
his wife called him at 3.30 p.m., he could not be aroused. A doctor was called immediately, but Mr.
Craig passed away within about half an hour.
It is thought that death was caused by a blood clot striking the
brain. Previous to going to Shannonville two
years ago, Mr. Craig was stationed at Roblin for four years, and before that
was on the Chalk River circuit. He was
born near Ottawa, about 44 years ago and saw service with the Canadian Expeditionary
Force, overseas. On his return he
attended Queen’s University from which he graduated with the Bachelor of Arts
degree. In 1934 he married Isobel
Rammage of Morrisburg, who survives, together with their year-old adopted
daughter. Mr. Craig was chaplain of the Napanee Branch of the Canadian
Legion of the British Empire Service League, and was well known in
Napanee. During his four years
pastorate at Roblin he made many friends who were shocked at his sudden
death. |

Creighton, Henry |
DEATHS – CREIGHTON – At Napanee, on Friday, October 13th,
1933, Henry Creighton, in his 70th year. HENRY CREIGHTON – The sudden death, early Friday morning, of Mr.
Henry Creighton, one of Napanee’s most highly esteemed citizens, came as a
decided shock to his many friends in town and district. Mr. Creighton, had, apparently, been in his usual good health
until a short time before his passing.
The day before he had done considerable work in his garden, and the
morning of his death, had breakfasted as usual and done his morning work
about the barn. About nine o’clock he
went to the house, where he complained of not feeling well and suddenly collapsed.
Death, attributed to heart failure, followed very shortly after the
seizure. Mr. Creighton was a man well known and held in high regard by a
large circle of friends throughout the county. Since 1911 he had been a resident of
Napanee and had acted in the capacity of agent for the Lennox and Addington
Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Previous to that time, he had been a successful farmer of
the Hawley district. He was a man of
great integrity, of a kindly, generous disposition, ad of a naturally
optimistic outlook. Outside of his
business and his home, his chief interest was in Trinity United Church. He had been a valued member of the board
since becoming a member of the church and for some years a member of the
session. He served on several
committees and was a church usher. In
everything that tended for the advancement of the church he dearly loved, he
was deeply interested and gave liberally of his time and resources. His passing is a great loss to his family,
his friends and his church. Mrs. Creighton was born nearly seventy years ago, in South
Fredericksburgh in the Hawley district.
He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Creighton, one of a
family of six children. The death of
his wife, formerly Etta Huffman, about three years ago, was a severe blow to
Mr. Creighton and his family. He is
survived by one daughter, Miss Marguerite, a nurse in Memphis,
Tennessee; one son, Mr. C. B.
Creighton, of Napanee; a sister, Mrs.
Charles Asselstine, of Hawley and one brother, Mr. Arthur Creighton, of
Oshawa, besides his aged father-in-law, Mr. Cyrus Huffman. The funeral, which was largely attended, was held at Trinity
United Church, Monday afternoon, with the minister, Rev. Harry Pawson, in
charge, assisted by Rev. A. J. Wilson, of St. Andrew’s Church. Interment was made at Riverside Cemetery. OBITUARY – HENRY CREIGHTON – The residents of Napanee were shocked
to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Henry Creighton, which occurred at his
home, Newburgh Road, on Friday morning, and in his passing the town has lost
one of its most cultured gentlemen and highly esteemed citizens, and Trinity
United Church one of its most prominent members of the official board. As far as can be learned, Mr. Creighton had not been
complaining, and on Thursday he was down town as usual. After arising Friday morning he attended to
the usual work and on returning to the house became ill, passing away shortly
after. The deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Creighton
and was a native of South Fredericksburgh.
For many years he was a successful farmer and his farm was situated
near Hawley. Retiring from the farm,
Mr. and Mrs. Creighton came to Napanee twenty-two years ago, and this had
been their home ever since. While at
Hawley he took an active interest in church work and was a member of the
official board of the United Church.
On coming to Napanee, Mr. and Mrs. Creighton affiliated with Trinity
United Church. Three years ago Mr.
Creighton suffered a sore bereavement in the death of Mrs. Creighton, who
before her marriage was Miss Huffman.
Mr. Creighton was a member of the official board of Trinity Church
and took an active part in Sunday
school work and was much interested in temperance. A son, C. B. Creighton, who is a member of the Daly Tea staff,
resides in Napanee, and a daughter, Marguerite, is a nurse in Memphis, Tenn.,
and last week attended a convention at Nashville, Tenn. Just a few weeks ago Mr. Creighton,
accompanied by his son and Mrs. Creighton and his daughter, paid a visit to
the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago. His brothers, who passed away some years ago, were prominent
residents of this county. They were
Fred Creighton and J. C. Creighton, Ex-Reeve of South Fredericksburgh. One brother, Arthur, resides in Oshawa, and
a sister, Mrs. Chas. Asselstine, resides in Hawley. There are also two grandchildren, Helen and
Gerald Creighton, children of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Creighton. Simplicity marked the funeral, which took place on Monday
afternoon from his late residence, Newburgh Road, to Trinity United Church,
of which church he had been a devout member since coming to Napanee over
twenty years ago. The esteem in which
the deceased was held was evidence by the large concourse of sympathizing
friends, the auditorium of the church being well filled. The casket was banked with flowers, while
many of the floral tributes were not brought into the church. The service was conducted by his minister, Rev. Harry Pawson,
who was assisted by Rev. A. J. Wilson of St. Andrew’s United Church, the
latter making a very appropriate prayer.
Mr. Pawson in his well deserved tribute, referred to the irreparable
loss sustained by the family and relatives, the loss to the friends and the
loss to Trinity. “This church has lost
several members during the past few years,” said Mr. Pawson, “and there was
no loss which the church felt more keenly than the death of Mr. Creighton. He lived a simple life, was sincere and
conscientious and was a true Christian.” Prof. W. R. Gray presided at the organ, and the two hymns,
“Jesus Lover of My Soul” and “Abide With Me” which were sung at the funeral
of the late Mrs. Creighton three years ago, were sung. Mrs. Pawson contributed the solo, “Under
the Shadow of Thy Wings.” The Pall-bearers were J. E. Robinson, Fred H. Henderson, Sheriff
Chas. W. Vandervoort, D. B. Wilson, M. R. Reid, I.P.S., and W. R. Lott. Interment took place in Riverside Cemetery. |

Cummings & Sellers, the Sellers-Gough company of today, from which he
retired about fifteen years ago, and had since been interested in the Betty

four months old on Monday, and tripped and sat down backwards into a pail of
boiling water which his mother had placed on the floor The little fellow was
badly scalded, and died next day, more, however, from the shock than the
scalding. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers have surely been afflicted. Seven months ago
their daughter, a bright young girl of thirteen years, died, and two years
before a son of seven years died from appendicitis. The bereaved parents have

Curry, George |
Yesterday evening, George Curry, steward of the steamer Kingston
and formerly a bandsman in the 79th Regiment, was drowned from on board the
steamer while opposite the Rev. Mr. McDowall's house near Fredericksburgh,
about 8 miles above Bath. Melancholy Fatality -- Yesterday evening as the Kingston steamer
was on her way downwards, and when opposite to the Rev. Mr. McDowall’s house,
near Fredericksburg, about 8 miles above Bath, Mr. George Curry, the Steward
of the Kingston, lost his life under the following distressing
circumstances. A boy having asked for
a drink of water, Curry, to whom the request was addressed, proceeded to draw
a bucket of water. The boat was going
at full speed and the bar of the gangway not being properly secured, the sudden
jerk which the bucket received when “brought up” by the sudden tension of the
rope to which it was attached, caused the barrier to give way, and Curry was
instantly precipitated over the side. He clutched at the side of the boat, but
not being able to procure a sufficient hold, he threw himself off as far as
possible in order to avoid the wheels. The steam was immediately let off, but
before the boat could be stopped she was nearly half a mile from Curry, who
was swimming in the wake of the vessel.
A small boat was immediately got out, and rowed by two men soon
reached the drowning man, - he was sinking as they reached him. An oar was shoved out by one of the men -
he made a feeble effort to lay hold of it - his hand slipped over the end of
the oar and he sank into eternity. The
deceased was a fine industrious young man, he formerly had been a bandsman in
the 79th Regt. and the deepest regret for his untimely fate is
manifested by all who knew him. |

CUTHILL - At Kingston General Hospital on Sunday, June 5th,
1921, Josephine M. E. Cuthill, wife of Mr. James Cuthill, North
Fredericksburgh, aged 50 years, 11 months. OBITUARY - Mrs. Josephine Cuthill Early in the morning of June 6th, a bright splendid
life ceased from the sufferings and toil of earth. Mrs. Cuthill’s maiden name was Josephine
Howell. She was born in North
Fredericksburgh in 1870, and lived all her life in this township. Thirty-two years ago December last she was
married to Jas. Cuthill, who is left to mourn the loss of a noble and devoted
wife. During her married life she
lived in the neighborhood of Anderson Church. Of this union, there are left to mourn a
loving mother, Mrs. Pearl Smith, Mrs. Nellie Robertson, J.P. Cuthill, and
Master Wilfred Cuthill. In early
childhood she gave her heart and life to Christ and through all the years of
her life she was a most faithful and loyal member of the Methodist church,
taking active interest in every activity and organization of the church. She was one of the very first members of
the W. M. S. being for many years 1st Vice President. She was a very active member of the ladies’
Aid. Her counsel and advice was much
cherished by the organization. Very
seldom was her place vacant in the regular services of the church on the
Lord’s Day; It was a great shock
to all her friends when we heard that
it was necessary to go to the hospital in Kingston. True, we all knew that for a long while she
was ailing, but her indomitable ambition and cheerfulness deceived
everyone. For days, eagerly her
friends anxiously sought for news of her recovery. But it was not the Lord’s will and with
profound sorrow we heard of her death.
Her funeral was held at her late home, on Wednesday, June 8th. Her resent Pastor, Rev. T. H. P. Anderson,
and former Pastor, Rev. Enos Farnsworth, officiated. The selection of hymns and text was her
choice. “Casting all your care upon
Him for He careth for you.” Mrs. (Rev.) Farnsworth and Rev. Anderson
sang by her request the beautiful selection
“Does Jesus Care”. The very
large gathering of friends from near and far testified to the esteem in which
our lamented sister was held.
Beautiful floral tributes were given by her many friends. The Women’s Institute at Hawley, of which
she was a member, were present in a body and gave tokens of their great
esteem. Besides the immediate family who have the sincere sympathy of
their friends, there are left to mourn, two brothers, David
and George, and two sisters, Mrs. Rendall and Mrs. Briggs. All that was mortal we laid away to rest in the beautiful
Eastern cemetery at Napanee. We sorrow
not as those who have no home but await the Resurrection Morn when we shall
again greet those whom we have loved but lost awhile. |
