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 in the death of his wife. He was a devoted member of Trinity
United Church, Napanee, for the past eighteen years. He is survived by four
daughters, Mrs. Bloomfield, Kingston; Mrs. Fred Allison, Adolphustown; Mrs.
W.G. Fretts and Mrs. T.M. Asselstine, Napanee, he having resided with the

a host of friends not only in the district but in Napanee as well. The
funeral service was held today from his late residence to Riverside Cemetery.

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. |

Campbell, Alexander |
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. |

the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Close, and took from their loving care their
beloved and only daughter, Dorothea Campbell, who in thirteen short years had

very early in life, she learned to love His ways and now has gone to be with
Him, to whom she gave her heart. Much sympathy is extended to the sorrowing
parents and friends by the entire community who can but bid them remember
that it is but one more in the chain that binds earth to heaven. The funeral service was conducted by the

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

Campbell, M.A. (nee
Murdock) |
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 Glenwood cemetery.

of the city, in the person of John Joseph Carrington, who passed away very
suddenly, at his home on River street, about noon. Deceased was sixty-three of age. The late Mr. Carrington was born at Picton,
on October 25th, 1847, and received all his early training and
education here. When quite a young
man, he went into the tanning business, with his father, John Carrington, at
Picton. In 1876, their factory was
burned down, and 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 best tanneries in Ontario.
Deceased conducted this tannery, until six years ago, when he disposed
of it to A. Davis & Son. He was
known all over the district, and held the respect of all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. Deceased is

at 1 p.m. The entire community is in
mourning over his passing. Thirty years ago, Mr. Carscallen took over
the old Sherman property in Tamworth and ten years ago purchased the Thornton
property and rebuilt it. His general

and had machinery installed and operated.
He was formerly located on the site of Mace’s old mill, which was
destroyed by fire. Deceased also had

Limited. Although always a busy business man, Mr.
Carscallen found time to devote to other activities. He was Reeve of Sheffield Township,
director and secretary-treasurer of the Sheffield Cheese Company, and was
also prominent in educational circles.
He was a member of the School Board for many years and it was through
his efforts that the Consolidated School was built in 1911, which is regarded
as one of the finest Continuation schools in Ontario. Mr. Carscallen was also President of the
Redden Telephone Company, and a member of the Official Board of the United
Church at Tamworth. He was also 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. Service at the house, thence to Riverside
Cemetery. |

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. |

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Casey, in her 92nd year. 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.

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

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,

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

a short 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

Herbert |
Thomas Herbert Chalmers died suddenly at
his home on the Trent Road, Sidney Township, on Saturday, Oct 15. He was
apparently in good health 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.

Chinneck, Fred |
Death of Mr. Fred. Chinneck. – One of the
few remaining business 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 Monday afternoon. |

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. |

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
with grief at the sudden loss of their son.

Aid Society, the Sunday School and the choir. Gifted with a very fine
personality, she was held in high esteem by her many friends and she will be

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. |

years later in dentistry. Choosing the latter profession he opened an office
in Kingston, where he continued a successful business, winning hosts of
friends by his kind and gentlemanly bearing. He failed very gradually and two
weeks before his death he had a second stroke, after which the change was

though latterly suffering somewhat from shortness of breath (owing to
enlargement of the heart), yet he never complained or murmured. He was conscious

CLARK - At Napanee, on Saturday, Sept. 26th,
1925, John J. Clarke, aged 80 years, 9 months and 18 days. Napanee, Sept 29
– One of Napanee’s most highly respected citizens, in the person of John J.
Clarke, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 26th in his eighty-first
year. About two weeks ago, he was stricken with paralysis. Mr. Clark was
born in this county in October 1844 and spent his earlier years at the family
homestead at Enterprise. For many years he owned and operated a farm at Hay
Bay, where he lived until about ten years ago when he retired from farming.
He purchased the residence at the corner of Bridge and Adelphi street, where
he died. He is survived by
his widow, who previous to their marriage was Miss Phoebe Huyck. One daughter
also survives him; Mrs. Samuel Baird of Napanee. There is also one sister of
the deceased living, Mrs. John Berry of Deseronto. The funeral took
place on Monday afternoon at his late residence, where services were
conducted by Rev. A.J. Terrill, B.A. of Grace Church. Interment at Riverside
cemetery. There was a
large attendance at the funeral including many relatives and friends from a
distance. In religion, Mr.
Clark was a Methodist and in politics a staunch Liberal.
OBITUARY - Mr. J. J. Clarke The death occurred on Saturday, September
26th, 1925, at his late residence, of one of Napanee’s well known
and highly respected citizens, in the person of Mr. J. J. Clarke, at the age
of 80 years, 9 months and 18 days. The
deceased suffered a severe stroke about two weeks ago, and owing to his
advanced age little hope was held out for his recovery. The late Mr. Clarke, who was well known to
a host of Napaneeans, spent the major part of his life in the Township of
North Fredericksburgh, he having been a prosperous farmer near Hay Bay. Some few years ago he retired from the
activities of the farm, and with his devoted wife, daughter and son-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Baird, moved to Napanee, where they have since resided. During their residence here they made many
warm friends, and the sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved
widow and daughter. The funeral was held at his late residence,
Bridge Street, Monday afternoon, and was one of the largest held in Napanee
in some time. Not only was there a
large concourse of citizens from town in attendance, but many were present
from all parts of the Township of North Fredericksburgh, where the deceased
had spent the major part of his life, and where he was highly honoured and
respected. The casket was banked with
floral designs of all kinds, showing the esteem in which he was held. The service was conducted by Rev. A. J.
Terrill, of Grace Church, of which the deceased was a member, and who in an
appropriate address referred to the many fine personal qualities which the
deceased possessed and also to the high respect in which he was held by the
whole community. At the conclusion of
the service the remains were borne to Riverside cemetery and laid to rest, to
await the glad resurrection day. The
pall-bearers were all close friends, being Messrs. Fred Gordinier, D. H. Preston, John Hambly,

Death of Lieut.-Gov. Clark – After several
months illness, His Honor Lieutenant-Governor Lionel H. Clarke, died at
Government House, Toronto, on Monday afternoon August 29th. He was taken ill early in the summer and
had been forced to give up all official duties. The last few months had been spent at his
summer home at Muskoka. Two operations
were undertaken recently in the hope of restoring his health but in vain, for
he never rallied after the last operation.
Lionel H. Clarke was 62 years old.
He was born at Guelph. As a
young man he engaged in the grain business at Palmerston, later moving to
Toronto where he succeeded in accumulating a large fortune. He was the Conservative candidate for North
Wellington in 1891 and in 1896, but was both times unsuccessful. He was very public spirited and had given
splendid service as chairman of the Toronto Harbour Board from 1912 until his
death. He was also a member of the
Niagara Falls Park Commission and Toronto and York Highways Commission. Mr. Clarke was appointed Lieut.-Gov in 1919
and his death leaves a vacancy which will need to be filled immediately, as
all Provincial Government documents have to be signed by the Lieut.-Gov. A
state funeral was held on Wednesday with the Governor-General the Premier, and
many other officials present. |

Clark, Paul |
Clark – At his home on King street, on
Sunday, March 28, 1909, Captain Paul Clark aged seventy-six years. Funeral
under the direction of the Masonic Order and burial at Cherry Valley cemetery
on Tuesday. A navigator with forty years experience
with sail and steamboat on lake, river and bay, and widely known in inland
waters of Eastern Ontario, passed away at an early hour on Sunday morning at
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.

rest of the family survive her. She was married to the late Jas. Wilson
Clarke in 1886 and with him lived in Deseronto until his untimely death in
1891. She was left with two small children. After her husband's death she
returned to North Fredericksburgh to care for her father. Her spirit was
brave and courageously she faced the task of bringing up her children, who
now mourn the loss of a devoted and loving mother. Mrs. Lena Davey and Jas.
Warren Clarke, member of the Council of North Fredericksburgh. After the
children were married she moved back to Deseronto, where she was living at
the time of her death, a victim of pneumonia, on November 18, 1919. She was a
good woman and for many years, a consistent member of the Methodist Church.
Her funeral was held in the Bethany Church, going from the home of her
brother, Mr. Ezra Hambly. A former pastor, Rev. Enos Farnsworth, and Rev.
T.H.P. Anderson conducted the funeral services. The good die, but the
benediction of her life remains.

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.

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. |

CLUTE – At Morven, on Sunday March 12th,
1916, Frances G. Funnell, beloved wife of J.A. Clute, aged 39 years and 10
months. OBITUARY – It is with profound sorrow that
we record the sudden 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 12th, 1916, at the age of 38 years, leaving
to mourn her loss a loving husband, two small children, a widowed mother, two
brothers and a sister, to whom we convey our deepest sympathy in this their
hour of sore bereavement. The funeral
was conducted on Tuesday, March 14th, the memorial service being
held in the White Church, and was conducted by Rev. W.T. Wickett, a friend of
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

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 Clute, relict of late Nicholas Murdoch, formerly of
Newburgh, aged ninety years and eight months. Funeral private from residence

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

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 partnership
with his brother, James E. Cole. This business was carried on 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 - 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.

boiler exploded 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.

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. |

was a year and four months old on Monday, and tripped and sat down backwards

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. |
