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 latter for the past six years. His passing will be learned with regret by
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. |

entered 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 finished her life’s work and heard the call, “Let the little

home. Having been touched by the Spirit of God
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

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. |

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. |

affection, having of late years contributed largely to the support of her
well-nigh helpless parents. The funeral on Wednesday to St. Mary Magdalene's

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.

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

of his acquaintance. Deceased is

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. |

CASEY - At her residence, 211 Dundas street
west, Napanee, on Monday, August 3, 1959, Dora Farley Casey, daughter of the
late 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

Loyalist stock. His grandparents were William Casey, Adolphustown, and Andrew
Johnson [Jackson], Hallowell, both of whom were of the first UE Loyalist
pioneers in these townships. He was born in Adolphustown sixty-nine years
ago. After spending his early years in his native township, he resided for a
time in Newburgh and then Napanee. Some years ago, he removed to Kingston
where he has since resided. For years he has been troubled with consumption
and for the last two years or more he has been almost totally incapacitated
because of that disease, and it became evident to himself and his friends
that he could not possibly recover. He viewed his end with the full
resignation and confidence of a true Christian. He was a consistent member of
the Methodist Church, and a regular attendant of the Queen street church
here. About forty five years ago, he married Miss Jane Murdoch, of
Fredericksburgh, a lady well known and much respected among the Christian
workers of this city. She survives him with their two children, Mrs. R.J.
Carson, of Brock street and R. O. Casey of the city of Syracuse. He was a man

SAMUEL THORNE CASEY - Passed peacefully

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. |

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. |

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." |

Chalmers, Peter |
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 ---sion 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 years, 1 months and 10 days. |

Chalmers, Thomas
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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

Clapp, Philip |
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. |

in marriage to Mr. George Clapper, of Morven. During her life she endeared
herself of a large circle of friends. Those who knew her best were her best
friends. She was a Christian woman. Her pure life, her faithful use of the
means of grace both public and private, 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

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.

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. |

Obituary - J. Herbert Clark, M.D., D.D.S. -
The many friends of Dr. Clark will be sorry to hear of his death, which sad
event occurred at the homestead, Adolphustown, on Friday, March 25th.
Deceased had a paralytic stroke eighteen months ago, when he was obliged to
retire from business, though comparatively comfortable in health until two
months ago, when his loved ones saw they must prepare for the worst. Dr.
Clark graduated in medicine in '75, and three years subsequently in
dentistry. Choosing the latter profession he opened an office in Kingston,
where he has since continued a successful business career, winning hosts of
friends by his kind and gentlemanly bearing. He failed very gradually until
two weeks before his death, when he had a second stroke, after which the
change was more marked. Throughout his illness he was almost absolutely free
from pain though latterly suffering somewhat from shortness of breath, owing
to enlargement of the heart, yet he never complained or murmured. He was
conscious to the last and gave the comforting assurance that the Saviour he
had lately learned to love was precious to the end. |

Fredericksburgh, by whom he had one daughter, Mrs. Blake Harrison, of
Adolphustown, and next to Miss Erta Asselstine,
daughter of William Asselstine, of Camden, who survives him. He was a man of
very genial disposition and had many warm friends. Three members of the
family have died within a short time. Dr. James H. Clark, a well known
Kingston dentist, who died of consumption at the old homestead on the 25th of
March, last year; Mrs. Alex. Hazlett, of Fredericksburgh, who died suddenly
during the winter, and now their brother John. Their father, the late James Clark, was for
years one of the most respected residents of the township. The surviving
members of the family are William, who resides near Sillsville; Dr. Robert,
formerly of Napanee; Thomas, who is in the States; Mary, who married Dr.
Morden, of Picton, and Jane and Maggie, who reside on the old homestead. The

1925, John J. Clarke, aged 80 years, 9 months and 18 days. [see
also, Clarke, J. J.] 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, Luke Trumpour, F. L. Hooper and George Grieve.

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. |

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.

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.

A. |
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. |
