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

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

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

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

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

and Mrs. Stewart Close, and took from their loving care their beloved and
only daughter, Dorothea Campbell, who in thirteen short years had finished
her life’s work and heard the call, “Let the little ones come unto me”. Little Dorothea, who had been ill for more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

residence on Piety Hill on Wednesday night of one of the best known and
h9ighly esteemed residents of Napanee, in the person of Fred Briscoe

illness, which occurred a few months ago. Death was due to heart trouble. He was a loyal member of Trinity United Church and was a
Conservative in politics. His uncle, the late T.G. Carscallen, M.L.A.,
represented this county in the Ontario Legislature for many years. He was a

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

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

Casey, Anne (nee

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

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

grandparents were William Casey, Adolphustown, and Andrew Johnson [Jackson],
Hallowell, both of whom were of the first UE Loyalist pioneers in these

his early years in his native township, he resided for a time in Newburgh and
then Napanee. Some years ago, he removed to Kingston where he has since resided.
For years he has been troubled with consumption and for the last two years or
more he has been almost totally incapacitated because of that disease, and it
became evident to himself and his friends that he could not possibly recover.
He viewed his end with the full resignation and confidence of a true
Christian. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and a regular
attendant of the Queen street church here. About forty five years ago, he
married Miss Jane Murdoch, of Fredericksburgh, a lady well known and much
respected among the Christian workers of this city. She survives him with
their two children, Mrs. R.J. Carson, of Brock street and R. O. Casey of the

was an active supporter of the liberal party. Up to almost his last hours he

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

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

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

A sad death occurred on August 9th at Adolphustown
when Arthur Chalmers, aged nineteen years, passed away, after 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 Chalmers, aged 62

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

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. |

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

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 .

her simple trust, her humble and teachable spirit, and her cheerfulness and
willingness to help in every good word and work developed in her a beautiful
character. She was a member of the Methodist church, and an officer in the
W.M.S. auxillary of Morven. She will be greatly missed by the community, and
also by her mother and six sisters, but she will be chiefly missed by her
husband. Earth has met with a loss and Heaven has no doubt received her to

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