Daly, Denis H.A.	The funeral took place on Sunday last of Denis Henry Aldworth Daly, one of Napanee’s eldest and most distinctive citizens. He was the youngest of a family of ten, the oldest of the family being his sister, Eliza, (the late Mrs. Neil McIntyre, of Kingston). He was named after his father, Denis Daly and his mother, Maria Aldworth. His father had been a cotton manufacturer in Dublin, Ireland, but with the introduction of machinery which superseded the old hand looms then in use, the business in common with every similar business in Ireland with a single exception became bankrupt, and in 1840 he came out to this country, with a part of his family, including his son, Charles. In 1841, his mother brought out the remaining members of the family, including Eliza, Edward, George and Denis, all familiar figures through this part of Ontario. They settled in Kingston. Some years after, the family rented a farm on the High Shore of the Bay of Quinte. The market for their produce was in Kingston and for a number of years the late Mr. Daly was a familiar figure on the Kingston market. They took back with them dry goods, groceries and teas, which they sold in the surrounding country, but finally they specialized in teas to the exclusion of other commodities. The family then moved to the Deseronto Road, where they purchased a farm and a little later Denis and George bought another farm in the neighborhood, and also branched out into the tea business for themselves. These two branches finally resulted in the business of Edward Daly centred in London, and of Denis Daly in Napanee. Finally, some years after the death of George Daly which occurred in 1876, the farm was given up and Denis Daly moved into Napanee with the family of the late George Daly, and they made their home at Riverview, the Rogers’ residence on Piety Hill. In 1883, the late Mr. Daly married Mary Frances Bennett, daughter of the late William Lewis Bennett, and of Mary Smale Bennett. Two of their children died, Harry Aldworth in 1906 and Donald Aldworth in 1908. Mr. Daly is survived by Mrs. Daly and three children, Richard Arthur, Roland Oliver and Kathleen Frances.	1915 From the Watson Scrapbooks
Daly, Donald	DEATH OF DONALD DALY – For the second time within the space of two years, the home of Mr. Denis Daly has been visited by death. On Friday morning, 12^th inst., Donald, third son, passed away after a protracted illness, having reached the age of twenty years. In Donald’s second year he met with a fall which determined his subsequent health, and although he indulged in youthful pastimes with considerable vivacity, the effects of the accident were continually undermining his constitution. During the past year there were signs of the inevitable decline and collapse of his system, and though he travelled to British Columbia, hoping thereby to gain strength, the journey proved detrimental rather than beneficial. Upon Donald’s early return, Mrs. Daly accompanied him to Philadelphia, where in the University of Pennsylvania Hospital he underwent an operation which alleviated his suffering and encouraged the parents’ hopes for his recovery, but it proved only a temporary remedy, for on reaching Napanee he speedily succumbed to his illness. Donald had many friends and companions who cannot be remember his genial mature, his humor, and his gentlemanly qualities	1908 From the Watson Scrapbooks
Daly, Edward	The Late Edward Daly - Mr. Edward Daly, whose death occurred at his residence in London, Ont., on Friday last, 15^th inst., was for many years a well known citizen of Napanee and of this county. He was born in Ireland about 80 years ago, and came to Canada, with his parents, when a young man. The family first settled in Kingston, where he began business for himself. Some old readers of the Beaver can yet well remember when he first began making his rounds of this county in the tea business. The whole family of brothers, Edward, Charles, George and Dennis, have engaged in that business successfully and become among the largest dealers of their line in Canada. When yet a young man, the deceased and the family moved to Sophiasburgh, Prince Edward County, to what is now known as Cole's Wharf, where they resided seven years. While there, Mr. Daly married Miss Jane Jeffers of South Fredericksburgh, a lady much respected, who survives him with their six children, Fred, who resides in London, Reginald, of Harvard College, Massachusetts, Mrs. A. W. Grange and Mrs. F. S. Richardson, Napanee, Mrs. Pepler, Toronto, and Mrs. Keenleyside, London. Mr. Daly moved to Richmond, on the farm now owned by Mr. Thomas Roach over forty years ago, and there the most of their children were born and reared. They then moved to Napanee, their home being the present residence of Mr. Fred Richardson, John Street, where they lived until about ten years ago, when they moved to London, where they have since resided. Five or six years ago he had a partial paralytic stroke, from which he never fully recovered and retired from active business. Mr. George Grange has been for years intimately associated with him in business. Mr. Daly was a man of unusual intelligence, a great reader and a man of excellent business ability. He never took an active part in public matters but was a keen observer of them. In politics he was a Conservative. At the time of his death he was a member of the Presbyterian Church. He gave his family the advantage of an excellent education of good paternal training, and of a highly moral example. He was for many years very intimately associated in business and domestic matters with his brother, the late Charles Daly who resided beside him in Richmond, and who is yet very kindly remembered throughout this county. The late George Daly, of Richmond was also a brother. The only remaining brother is our townsman, Mr. Dennis Daly of Piety Hill. Mrs. McIntyre, of Kingston, is a sister; she is the mother of John McIntyre K. C. and Donald McIntyre, City Attorney and both of them ex-Mayors of Kingston, and of the Rev. C. E. McIntyre, pastor of the Eastern Methodist church here. (** written above - Feb. 1901; written below - $80,000**).	1901 From the Hough Scrapbooks.

Daly, Henry Aldworth	HENRY ALDWORTH DALY – eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Denis Daly, died very suddenly at Toronto last Sunday morning, aged twenty-two years. He was a graduate in Arts at Varsity and was taking his third year in medicine. He had been apparently in good health, and on Saturday evening attended a banquet and debate at the home of a friend. He had scarcely sat down after making a short address, when it was observed that he was acting strangely. He was taken out into the fresh air, but this did not improve the condition. About 10 o’clock a doctor was called, who said he was suffering from hysteria and expressed the opinion that he would be all right in an hour. At 1 o’clock his condition had grown worse, and another doctor was called in who said the hysteria was probably brought on by acute indigestion. At 7 o’clock Sunday morning a consolidation of doctors was held and Harry was removed to St. Michael’s hospital, where he died at noon. The family were notified on Sunday morning of his illness. His mother went by the first train to the city, but arrived too late to see her son alive. Harry Daly was an exceptionally fine young man, gifted and studious and was vice-president of his class year, and had occupied other offices in the gift of his fellow students, amongst whom he was very popular. He was strongly built, stood six feet one inch in height, and apparently enjoyed perfect health. Without either himself or his family knowing it he was a victim of Brights disease, which caused his premature death. Deceased was a fine singer, and belonged to the Parkdale Methodist church choir. When at home he was also a member of the Eastern church choir, and a member of its young people’s societies. The funeral took place from his father’s residence at 10:30 on Wednesday morning, and was largely attended, the teachers and pupils of the Collegiate attending and marching in procession. Eight members of his class at College were his pallbearers, two of them representing the Varsity Medical Association. The Medical building was closed on Tuesday morning out of respect for deceased. His popularity was shown by the wonderful collection of wreaths, etc., sent in by the students of Varsity, various young people’[s societies, and friends. Besides his bereaved parents, he leaves three brothers, Arthur, Donald and Roland, and a sister, Kathleen. Mr. and Mrs. Daly and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their severe affliction.	From the Watson Scrapbooks

He farmed here full time for the next twenty-five years. In particular, he grew large tomato crops for local canning factories in Prince Edward County and in Bath, especially during the war years when there was an almost unlimited demand for canned foods. In winters during the war, Dick worked in various Ontario machine shops. In 1946, he was elected councillor in Adolphustown and joined the Maple Leaf Masonic Lodge in Bath. In august, 1947, he married Grace Morton of Conway. their daughter, Alice, was born in 1948 and son, Gerald, was born in 1951.

From 1957 until assessment became a provincial responsibility in 1969, Dick was County Assessor of Frontenac county. From then until his retirement in 1976, he was a provincial Manager of Farm Assessment. After retiring, Dick and Grace returned to growing tomatoes and supplied thousands of baskets each year to local independent grocers. More than ever, he continued his involvement and concern in community affairs, serving and often chairing groups such as an Ontario taxation committee, the Quinte Branch of the United Empire Loyalist historical society, the Lennox and Addington Housing Authority, the Cataraqui Conservation Authority, and St. Alban's Anglican Church committees. He was made Master of the Maple Leaf Lodge in 1982. For recreation, dick was an enthusiastic bridge player, at seniors' groups in both Adolphustown and Napanee. At home he continued to read widely. In particular, his interest lay in researching and writing local history - one of his last accomplishments being his account of the social history of the Bay Shore Road where he had lived his life. Dick leaves his wife, Grace, daughter and son-in-law, Alice and John Carlson; son and daughter-in-law, Gerry and Jutta Daverne; and four grandchildren, Katherine and Matthew Daverne and Daniel and Andrew Carlson.

Davies, Evelyn (nee Turnbull)	OBITUARY - A great gloom was cast over Mount Pleasant on Friday, when the news reached that Evelyn, dearly beloved wife of Mr. A. E. Davies, Toronto, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Turnbull had passed away at the new General Hospital, on Thursday at 1 o’clock. Evelyn was never of a very robust constitution and the operation for appendicitis, although successful and she rallied nicely, proved too much for her frail constitution and she succumbed. With her hand clasped in her husband’s and a smile on her lips which did not leave her even in cold death she gave her fair sweet young life to God whose soul he doth keep. The sad feature in connection with it is that just ten weeks ago she went forth a joyous happy bride. Truly God’s ways are not our ways but we do not mourn as those without hope, for though he has put our lives so far apart we cannot hear each other speak we know we shall meet her in the mansions above, for she passed away glorious in the thought she was to meet her Saviour. She leaves behind her a broken hearted husband, mother, father, sister and brother to mourn the loss of a loving wife, daughter and sister. The remains were brought down from Toronto and the funeral was held at the home of her father on Saturday afternoon. Clad in her bridal gown we laid her to rest in her long last sleep. Rev. Mr. Down preached the funeral sermon and a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives gathered to pay their last respects to our dear departed Evelyn. The remains were placed in the vault awaiting interment in the family plot. The sorrowing husband and relatives have the sympathy of the community in this hour of sad bereavement.	1913 Newspaper Clipping

Davis, A.C.	Sudden Death - The community in Adolphustown heard with surprise and sorrow, on Monday morning, of the death of A.C. Davis, Esq., an old and well known resident of that township. He was about the day before, apparently in his usual health, having attended church, as was his wont, on the Sabbath. He retired about the usual hour; about 11 p.m. his wife was awakened by some unusual struggling, and by the time she was able to light a lamp he was dead. It is supposed that his death was the result of either apoplexy or heart disease. He had a slight stroke in January last, from which he entirely recovered. Deceased was a son of the late Henry Davis, and was born and spent all his days in the township of Adolphustown. He was a direct descendant of the U.E. Loyalists, and his patriotism and loyalty, were imbibed from the old stock. He took an active interest in local and municipal affairs, serving his township faithfully in the offices of reeve, councillor and school trustee. He was an active adherent of the Methodist Church, laboring earnestly for the promotion of its every interest. He was one of the most zealous promoters of the Memorial Church, erected by the Methodist congregation in honor of the U,.E. Loyalists on the centenary of their landing in Adolphustown, acting as secretary of the committee. As a man he possessed the respect and confidence of all who knew him; being scrupulously honored in all his dealings; as a neighbor he was kind, obliging and universally esteemed. His funeral on Wednesday was attended by an immense gathering. He leaves a wife, seven sons and one daughter to mourn his death.	Clipping Davis Records

Davis, Amy Ann	At Adolphustown, on Sunday, August 16th, 1925, Amy Ann Davis aged 72 years. Obituary - Miss Amy A. Davis In the Adolphustown community there still live a few of the third generation of U.E. Loyalist descendants, but Miss Amy A. Davis, who passed away on Sunday, August 16th, 1925, was one of the older of the fourth generation. She was a girl of seven when the Hay Bay Methodist Church was abandoned and the new white frame church succeeding it was opened within sight of her home in the second concession. Outside that home her chief activities for the next quarter of a century were centred about that church and the school-house on the opposite side of the road. Amy was the fourth child of Archibald C. Davis and Amy Ann Huffnail, there being nine in all. Archibald's grandfather, Henry Davis, homesteaded lot 16 in the second concession of Adolphustown on which Amy was born and spent her whole life. Her mother was a daughter of Jacob Huffnail, of South Fredericksburgh, whose Dutch U.E. Loyalist father, Andrew, homesteaded about a mile to the east of the Davis homestead. Thus the British and Dutch families intermarried in those early days in this country and produced a hardy race of people. The Huffnail family name has entirely disappeared, but the descendants under other names are scattered far and wide over the whole continent. In Centennial year, 1884, Amy saw the present brick U.E.L. Memorial Church erected on the site of the white church, and from that time to the present she has been closely identified with every form and movement of the Christian life of her beloved neighbors, and many intimate friends. In the home of a large family of brothers and a sister, she always faithfully performed her part, freely giving her time and energies for the welfare of others, her only reward being the satisfaction of knowing that, her many intimate friends, old and young, were enjoying the benefits of her unselfish devotion. Outside a couple of visits with a brother in Manitoba, her whole life was spent quietly in her rural home. Some weeks prior to her decease, Amy selected her pall-bearers from the large circle of church associates in her native township and Fredericksburgh. They were Messrs. Geo. Phippen, John Magee, Duncan Hough, John Humphrey, George Ruttan and Blake Harrison. Many friends gathered at the home on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, and proceeded to the church, where Rev. H.B. Neal, a former pastor, motoring down from the Trenton district, conducted the service and burial. The choir, of which the deceased had been a member of for many years, rendered suitable music. Beautiful flowers strewed the casket and table, one spray being from the local W.M.S. with which Miss Davis had long been identified. The brief address of the minister feelingly referred to the many Christian virtues of the deceased, her good influence in the community as well as her unselfish devotion in the home, and the sweet fragrance of an unblemished Christian life. He read a beautiful poem to which his attention had been called by Amy at his last visit to her bedside some weeks ago, which she had pinned to her Bible. Amy Davis was laid to rest in the family plot at the rear of the church where she had toiled for years in battling with the weeds in an earnest endeavor to keep green the graves of her people. Her memory will be kept green in the minds and hearts of the people of that community, owing to her kindly smile and word of good cheer to every one she chanced to greet along the pilgrimage of the years. The journey has ended at last for her in this world, but has only just begun in that better land where mansions have been prepared along the way for those who have proved faithful here.

Davis, George Edmund	(Dorland) The whole community was shocked to learn that Mr. George Davis had passed quietly in his sleep some time Sunday night. While Mr. Davis has been failing in strength for some time he was about as usual on Sunday. He will be missed by a host of friends who have always admired his persistent optimism in spite of over thirty years of total blindness. The funeral services will be conducted in the United Church, where he has been a regular attendant all his life, at 10.30 Thursday morning. (Sillsville) Mr. Geo. Davis was found dead in bed on Sunday morning. Mr. Davis, who was totally blind for many years, bore his affliction with great patience, and left many friends who are sad to learn of his passing. Deaths - Davis - At Adolphustown, on Sunday April 24th, 1927, George Edmund Davis, in his 71st year. Obituary - George Edmund Davis The above well known citizen of Adolphustown passed away suddenly on Monday, April 25th, 1927 in his seventy-second year. George was the fourth son of Archibald and Amy Ann Davis, of Lot 16, of the Second Concession. He had never married and always resided on the farm, afflicted with blindness for about forty years. George and his sister, Amy, had lived together on the old original homestead of the family until the latter's death in September, 1925, after which he resided with his nephew, Clarence and mother, on the farm - the family of the late T. Nelson Davis, the sixth son of the above named parents. Throughout his long period of blindness, caused by a fence-building accident on the homestead, George had been accustomed to assist in all kinds of work on the farm and in going about the neighborhood without any guide but his cane, recognizing readily the voice of all his familiar friends, and always found his way without difficulty or harm. He became contented with his lot, and always showed a cheerful disposition and a readiness to chat with friends on all kinds of subjects. George heard the daily and weekly papers read throughout the years, developed a most retentive memory and enjoyed discussion of all manner of subjects and events of the world. The largely attended funeral service at the U.E.L. Memorial United Church in the neighborhood on Thursday, the 28th, conducted by his Pastor, Rev. J.H. Stainton, testified to the esteem of many friends from far and near. The comforting message referred particularly to the exchange of the natural body of God's redeemed people to a spiritual body at the moment of passing from this life to the future state, where Christ is the light, and where there will be no dimness of vision. The Pastor had no doubt, after an intimate acquaintance with the deceased of more than two years that, from his faithful attendance at church, keen interest in spiritual matters and consistent life, he too had passed through the portal of death into that larger and happier life beyond. He was buried in the family plot adjoining the church, where he had already erected a joint monument for himself and sister, lacking only the date of his departure.

Davis, Gilbert Miller	Eighty years ago there was born in the home of Henry Davis and his good wife, Sarah Campbell, on lot 16 of the 2^nd Concession of the Township of Adolphustown, a seventh son, who was named Gilbert Miller, after one of the many Methodist ministers, who made this home their stopping place at the extreme end of a long circuit. Possibly in naming her son after a prominent minister and a relative of her family, the fond mother cherished the thought peculiar to most if not all mothers, that she would thus have one preacher in her family. But such did not prove to be the case, as Gilbert and Peter became the last of eight brothers to remain on the north half of the old homestead while Archibald occupied the south half thereof. In the year 1865, Gilbert married Louise Hurlburt, of a well known Prince Edward family, and after a few years purchased the Thomas Carnahan farm adjoining No. 11, a mile east of the old homestead. Three children were the issue of this marriage - Hattie, Mrs. John A. Young, of Sandhurst; James, in the old Grange neighborhood, two miles north of Napanee, and Helena, Mrs. William E. Gillespie, of Minneopolis. Some twenty years ago Gilbert M. bought a home in Clarksville, just east of Napanee, where he and his wife lived quietly, and until recently were almost daily visitors to the town, and on the Sabbath were regular attendants of Trinity Methodist Church. But advancing years and feeble health led to the sale of the Clarksville market garden and the removal of the parents to the home of their son, James, where on Saturday morning, March 8^th, 1919, the father quietly passed away. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Rogers, of Grace Church, at the home, on Monday afternoon, March 19^th, and the remains were placed in the vault awaiting burial in the Riverside cemetery. One brother, John C. Davis, of Napanee, hale and hearty, in his eighty-fifth year, yet remains of the large Henry Davis family, and he has now decided, after spending many years in the Western States, that when in the course of time, he shall be called to lay down the weapons of his warfare, he too will be buried beside his brother, Gilbert, near the site of the grave of their youngest brother, Thomas G., a former well known resident of Napanee, who passed away seventeen years ago. Thus the old families of our historic Midland district, are gradually passing away, and it becomes us who remain to do what we can to preserve the records of their names and faithful services in the building up of a virile nation which today is highly honoured throughout the world.	1919 Newspaper Clipping

Davis, John Albert	J. Albert Davis of Napanee Passes - NAPANEE, Jan 10 - A promising young life was brought to a close on Tuesday afternoon when John Albert Davis, only son of Mrs. A. D. Snider, formerly Mrs. J. A. Davis, passed peacefully away in the Kingston General Hospital in his 28^th year. The deceased had not been in the best of health for the past two years but attended to his duties as usual until several days ago, when he was suddenly stricken and was taken to hospital where a severe operation was performed. Following the operation it was felt that his chances for recovery were very slight, and for two or three days preceding his death his condition had been very critical. The deceased was born on the farm and his father, whose farm was near Napanee, passed away about seven years ago. Albert attended the public school and after completing his studies opened up a small business in town which was very successful. Having a liking for the men’s wear business, he entered the well-known store of Wilson’s where his congenial manner and courteousness won for him the esteem of a wide circle of friends and where he was held in high esteem by the manager, Carman Dale. He was with this firm for the past few years and had to relinquish his position owing to illness. Very much interested in everything pertaining to good, he was a member of the Four Square class of Grace Sunday School of which the minister, Rev. R. T. Richards, is the teacher. He also liked taking part in amateur plays and two years ago took a leading part in a play which was given by the young people of the Sunday School. The remains were brought to the home of his mother, Mrs. A. D. Snider, and Mr. Snider, Napanee west, on Tuesday afternoon and the service, which was held this afternoon, was conducted by the Rev. R. T. Richards. The casket was banked with lovely floral tributes. Surviving are his mother and stepfather, also a sister, Mrs. Jack Davern of Brighton. The pall-bearers were Carman Dale, Jack Wilson, Geo. Wilson of Wilson’s store, a close friend, George Thoms, a cousin Jeff Bradshaw and Allen Vandebogart.	Scrapbook Clipping
Davis, John Cartwright	DAVIS - At Napanee, on Nov 8^th, John Cartwright Davis, aged eighty-five years. DAVIS - At Napanee, on Monday, November 8th, 1920, John Cartwright Davis, aged 85 years. The funeral will take place from Napanee on Friday morning. Service at Adolphustown Methodist Church at 110 o'clock, thence to Adolphustown cemetery. Obituary - John Cartwright Davis There passed away in Napanee, on Monday, November 8th, in his 86th year, the last member of a family of nine children born to Henry Davis and Sarah Campbell Davis, on lot 16, in the 2nd Concession of Adolphustown - the original U.E. Loyalist Davis homestead. This was J.C. Davis, a retired highly esteemed citizen, who in recent years resided at the Campbell House during the winters and spent the summers actively with his nephew, T. Nelson Davis, on the old homestead. There were several older brothers, and early in life John went to hire with his grandfather Campbell, on the north side of Hay Bay. One of his schoolmates there of the same age, was Thomas W. Casey, with whom and his family he preserved a cordial relationship to the last. During those early days he frequently crossed over Hay Bay on Sunday and met his mother at the old Methodist Chapel built in the year 1791 - the first in Canada and still in use today. Later he became a telegraph operator in Hamilton and various points on the Grand Trunk Railway. Afterwards he went to the States, and marrying Miss Carrie Smith, settled in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where her people resided. John C. had no family and some years after his wife's death he returned to his native soil and spent the balance of his years in the midst of his relatives and friends and boyhood associates. Taking no part in public affairs he was known by comparatively few of our citizens as a genial, quiet, gentleman, well informed, and glad to discuss the questions of the day. He was beloved by his many relatives and always maintained a cheerful correspondence with those who were beyond his reach. The end came peacefully without a moment's pain, in the presence of some of his relatives, in his room in the hotel. The remains will be interred on Friday morning in the Methodist Church grave yard in Adolphustown, after a service there at 10 o'clock, conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Howard Seymour. The dust of his parents, one sister, Mrs. Cyrus Roblin, and many brothers, excepting Thomas C. Davis, in the Napanee cemetery, occupy the surrounding space in that family plot. Those who remain should keep such family plots green in our wayside grave yards all over the country, as well as in town and city cemeteries. Those men and women toiled hard to lay the foundations upon which we are building one of the greatest national superstructures in the whole world, and we should not be ashamed to pull the weeds, plant flowers and erect plain markers about the graves of our dead. J.C. Davis Dead – He Passed Away at Napanee on Monday Last. Napanee, Nov. 11 – On Monday John Cartwright Davis passed away at the Campbell House, where he was living, after but a few days illness.

DAVIS – The subject of this memorial was born on September, 17^th, 1832, and died September 8^th, 1912, at the ripe age of 80 years. He was born and lived and died upon Lot 16 in the 2d Concession of Adolphustown, which property was assigned to his grandfather, the late Henry Davis, in the year 1784, by the Government of Canada, as a recompense for service in the British army in the War of the Revolution. This property has been held in the descendants of the family ever since, and now the 5^th generation is living upon this farm. These people are rightly entitled to the honor of belonging to the U.E. Loyalist stock, the people who laid the foundations of Upper Canada. Peter Davis was a respected citizen, and took an active interest in the politics of the country. He was a staunch Conservative and a friend of the late Sir John A. McDonald. In religion he was a Methodist, and his home was always open to the minister, who always received a warm welcome in his visits. His last days were his best days, and he died leaving behind him a beautiful testimony of the power and grace of God to save. The service was conducted by a former pastor, Rev. W. S. Boyce, assisted by the present pastor, Rev. R. Garrett, in the U.E.L. Church, Adolphustown, after which his Brethren, the Masons of Picton, among whom he was highly honoured, performed their usual burial ceremonies, and there was laid to rest to await the resurrection all that was mortal of the late Peter D. Davis. Many of his immediate relatives were present, among whom were John Davis and Gilbert Davis, his brothers; Wm. Davis, Allen Davis, C.D. Nelson Davis, George Davis, Amy Davis, Mrs. J. Young and others, Miss A. Hart, who has been his faithful housekeeper for many years did all that care and devotion could do to make his home and him comfortable during his declining years. A large congregation met to pay their respect to a citizen whom they loved.	Sept 14 1912 Kingston Daily Standard 1912 Watson Scrapbooks

Davis, Thomas Grange	DAVIS - AT Napanee, on Monday, Oct. 6th, Thomas Grange Davis, aged 60 years and 6 months. Sudden Death - Thomas Grange Davis Dies suddenly from Apoplexy Early Monday morning the startling intelligence that T.G. Davis had been found dead in his room caused many an expression of regret among his large circle of friends. Although his health has not been of the best for some time past, no serious results were anticipated, and his sudden death was indeed a shock to his many friends. He was out and around the town on Sunday as usual and retired to his rooms early in the evening. That was the last seen of him alive. When Mrs. Robt. Sagar, the lady who looks after his rooms, arrived Monday morning she found him lying on the floor in his room dead. The exact time of his death can hardly be determined, but from the fact that the body was warm when found it is supposed he had not been long dead. From the appearance of the bed it had evidently been used, and the supposition is that he had awoke early in the morning and not feeling well, he arose and started to dress, when he was evidently stricken with an attack of apoplexy, and expired in a short time. Coroner Huffman was notified and after viewing the body decided that an inquest was unnecessary. Deceased was one of a family of nine children, eight boys and one girl, children of the late Henry Davis, of Adolphustown, one of the oldest settlers and a U.E. Loyalist. He was born in Adolphustown sixty-one years ago. He left the farm when quite young and has been a resident of Napanee over forty years. He was engaged in mercantile business in town for a number of years but for the past number of years conducted an insurance and real estate business. In politics he was a Conservative and served as a faithful representative in the town council in the years 1886-87-88. He has also been a candidate for mayoralty honors several times. Three brothers predeceased him. The surviving members of the family are; Gilbert Davis, Palace Road; Peter, Adolphustown; John, Indiana; Nelson, also in the west, and Mrs. Cyrus Roblin, Adolphustown. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m. from his rooms over Graham's fur store. The Mayor and councillors, together with the town officials, attended the funeral in a body, as a mark of esteem in which deceased was held by them. The remains were deposited in the Eastern Cemetery Vault. Later they will be interred in the family plot at Adolphustown. The following gentlemen acted as bearers: U. Wilson, Walter Coxall, F.W. Vandusen, John Paisley, F.W. Smith and T.S. Henry. Obituary - Thomas Grange Davis A prominent and well known citizen of Napanee died quite suddenly, and to many, unexpectedly, on Sunday night last. Deceased had his office in the Coates block, upstairs, next to the Beaver office, and occupied bachelor quarters in rooms adjoining. He took supper at the Campbell House on Sunday and was apparently in his usual health. On Monday morning, when the cha-- woman went to attend to his rooms, she found Mr. Davis lying on the floor of his sitting room cold in death. A rocking chair in the room was upset, and it is thought deceased had received a stroke and fallen to the floor, from which he was unable to rise, and death apparently came to him without a struggle. Thomas Davis was a son of Henry Davis and Sarah Campbell, of Adolphustown of U.E.L. stock on both father's and mother's side. He was born and raised in Adolphustown and came to Napanee over forty years ago and resided here ever since. He was first a clerk with his brother, the late A.C. Davis, and later on a business partner until they closed business here. They built the large brick block, now owned by Sir Richard Cartwright, and for some time past occupied by Councillor Lapum. He has spent most of his time since in the insurance and real estate business in which he was successful and worked up a large and profitable business. He was never married. The surviving members of the family are Mrs. Cyrus Allison, Adolphustown; Peter D. Davis, who resides on the old homestead in Adolphustown, a fine homestead which has been in the Davis family for over a hundred years; Mr. Gilbert Davis, of the Palace road, just east of Napanee. Deceased was a strong Conservative and took a pretty active interest in public affairs for years. He was repeatedly elected a member of Napanee Town Council and took a great interest in municipal affairs. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and was very largely attended by our citizens and a large circle of friends and relatives from the country, the Mayor, and members of the Town Council and officials attending in a body. Rev. C.E. McIntyre conducted the service and the remains were placed in the vault of the Eastern cemetery.	Oct 10 1902 Napanee Express Oct 10 1902 Napanee Beaver
Davis, Thomas Nelson	DAVIS - At Adolphustown on Sunday, February 26^th, 1922, Thomas Nelson Davis, aged 60 years, 6 months, 11 days. T. NELSON DAVIS - A well known resident of Adolphustown passed away on Sunday, February 26^th, in the person of Thomas Nelson Davis, in his 61^st year. Nelson was one of seven sons of the late Archibald C. Davis, whose grandfather, Henry Davis, as one of the U.E. Loyalist settlers of Adolphustown in the year 1784, chose lot 16 in the 2^nd concession, as his homestead. Here the successive generations of the family have always lived, and Nelson now passes the old homestead down to his only son, Clarence, and his widowed mother, a daughter of Joseph B. Allison, the latter being one of the two remaining members of the large older Allison family. Nelson’s brother, George; and sister, Amy, still live on the farm, while the remaining brothers, Wallace, Arch, Allan, and Sidney reside in Napanee, Rochester, Toronto, and Manitoba respectively. The funeral took place at the family residence on Wednesday, conducted by his former pastor, Rev. Howard Seymour, of Rednersville, Ont., assisted by the present pastor, Rev. W. H. Webber. There was a large attendance of neighbors, and the Township Council, of which Mr. Davis had been formerly reeve, and latterly, clerk, attended in a body, with a beautiful floral wreath, and acted as pall-bearers, along with Mr. John Humphrey. The councillors are J. S. Johnson, reeve; Fred Allison, ex-reeve, M. F. Mallory, George Chalmers, James Robertson. Rev. Mr. Seymour’s address, based on “Cast Thy burdens upon the Lord,” was most impressive and comforting, and will long be remembered by all who were present. The burial took place in the Allison vault on the Bay of Quinte conducted by Messrs. Masters & Tierney, of Napanee.

He also took a very active interest in Y.M.C.A. work, in which he was a leader in the boy's department. After six weeks illness, through an accident received in a basket-ball match, he joined a G.T.P. survey party in Saskatchewan, but had scarcely begun his work, when he was compelled to go to the hospital in Moose jaw. He was brought home to Toronto, but he never regained his health. He eagerly welcomed, and entered heartily into the many seasons of fellowship, and prayer with his parents and pastor. He was a member of Trinity Methodist church. Dr. Tovell conducted the memorial service at his father's home, and the body was laid to rest in the family plot in Mount Pleasant cemetery.	1911 From the Watson Scrapbooks July 19, 1911 Davis Records

Davy, Benjamin C.	Died - At Kingston on Tuesday, the 10th Feb., 1874, B.C. Davy, Esq., aged 46 years. The funeral will take place from his late residence, William Street, tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10 o'clock a.m. to St. John's Church, Bath. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend. Death of B.C. Davy Esq. - We deeply regret to announce to our readers the untimely death of our fellow citizen Benjamin C. Davy, Esq., barrister-at-law, who died last night at midnight. The subject of our notice was born at Bath in the year 1829, the third son of Peter Davy, Esq., a justice of the peace and native of that village. He was educated at the Grammar School at Bath, and commenced the study of the law as a clerk articled to Sir John A. Macdonald, in the office of Messrs. Macdonald and Campbell at Kingston. In due course he was called to the bar in his twenty-first year, and began the practice of his profession at Bath, from which place after a short time, he removed to Kingston, where he opened an office and continued to practice for some time. He then went to Napanee, where he established his residence and continued to live for upwards of twenty years. At the time of the admission of the Province of Manitoba into the Dominion, Mr. Davy visited that province with a view of settling there, and had excellent prospects of succession in his profession, but these were clouded by ill health, by which he was forced to return to his native county. After continuing a short time at Napanee, he finally concluded to remove his family to Kingston, which he did last July. The disease by which our friend was carried off was contracted at the late election, in which he took a prominent part in the interest of the opposition. Hard work and exposure to cold weather told severely on his constitution, and an attack of congestion of the lungs and pneumonia, the gravity of which was not suspected until two days before his death proved fatal. Mr. Davy leaves a large family and many sincerely attached friends to mourn his early death.	Feb 10 1874 Daily News
Davy, Daniel M.	Recovering the Bodies - Finding the Body of D.M. Davy - A Long Funeral Cortege Yesterday in Napanee - A Good Citizen. Ever since the drowning, near Picton, of Messrs. Daniel M. Davy, of Napanee, and James Johnston, of Beth, in November last, there has been a constant outlook for the bodies of the unfortunate men. On Saturday last, just five months after the drowning, the body of Mr. Daniel Davy was discovered on the shore, opposite the farm of Helebront Valleau, Esq., about three miles from Picton, on the Sophiasburgh shore. A son of Mr. Valleau accidentally discovered the body, which was in a fair state of preservation and with the clothing all on, and the flesh not much decomposed, but there was nothing in connection with the papers on the body to enable the boy to identify it. He went to Picton and Mr. Elisha Sills went with him and at once recognized it. A small boat was procured and the body at once rowed to Picton, and a telegram sent to the friends at Napanee, informing them of the fact. A coffin was at once procured and the body was placed in it as respectably as possible, awaiting the arrival of the friends. About seven in the evening a party of about twenty men left Napanee by the steamer "Flight" for Picton, which was reached at eleven, and in a few minutes arrangements were made to return with the body. Napanee was reached about two o'clock on Sunday morning, and the body was place in a store house, where Mrs. Davy and other friends at once went to see it. The wife and mother at once recognized the remains of their dear one, and their fresh outbursts of grief were such as may well be imagined. We may here state that about $70 in money was found in the pockets. At 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon the burial took place. A large number of the friends and citizens went with a hearse and carriages to the store house, and the body was driven from there to the front of the residence of Mrs. Davy, where religious services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Young, (Presbyterian), after which a long and respectable procession was formed to the cemetery, where the burial took place. Mr. Davy was a native of Napanee and very popular among his companions. He leaves a wife and two small children. During the last two years he has conducted a summer resort at Hog Island, about six miles below Picton, and it was in sailing from there towards Picton last fall that his boat upset and the drowning occurred. We understand that Mrs. Davy intends to conduct the hotel again this year. As a summer resort it has become very popular. On Sunday a party of Johnson's friends left for Bath for a thorough search about the shores in hopes of recovering his body also. It seems quite probable it may be soon looked for, as they were drowned together.	May 1 1882 Daily British Whig

DAVY, GEORGE a young man, son of John Davy, tavern-keeper, Fredericksburgh, drowned last Friday while fishing. Drowned - Mr. George Davy, son of Mr. John Davy, tavern keeper, Fredericksburgh, was drowned on last Friday morning. It appears that the deceased had on that day been taking up some salmon nets in company with two others, McGinn and Nugent. They had on board fifty salmon, and were proceeding homewards, when the boat was swamped. McGinn and Nugent were saved by holding on to the boat. The body of the deceased floated in to the shore on the succeeding day. He was a young man, we understand, much respected by his acquaintances.

Davy, Mrs. Jno.	OBITUARY - On Wednesday, Mrs. Jno. Davy passed away to her last long home, at the ripe age of 78 years. Besides being one of the oldest inhabitants, deceased was one of the early settlers of this county. She was born at Saratoga, N.Y., in 1801, and in 1817, the same year in which she was married, she removed to Bath. After residing there and in Kingston a few years, the family removed to the front of Fredericksburgh, where they lived for about 30 years, leaving that place for Napanee about seventeen years ago. Six children, out of a family of thirteen, survive to mourn their loss. Deceased was very widely known and greatly respected. She was kind and generous, and never failed when it was possible to cheer by her presence the sick room of a neighbor when required. She was a very extensive reader and was possessed of a remarkable memory, and as her sight was good, books were a great comfort to her in her declining years. Her end was perfect peace.

Davy, Jane Almira (nee Nugent)	Davy - On Friday, 25th inst., Jane Almira Nugent, wife of Mr. M.C. Davy, of Bath, in her 65th year. MRS. M. C. DAVY - The community of Bath and vicinity was saddened to learn on Friday last of the death of Mrs. M. C. Davy, of that village. For more than a year past she suffered from hernia without being fully aware of its dangerous nature. About eight days before her death the rupture became strangulated and an operation was resorted to as the only hope of saving her life. Dr. Sullivan and two other physicians performed the service, but notwithstanding the hope of friends she survived only seven days. Deceased was a most estimable lady and her sudden and unexpected removal is universally mourned. She was a daughter of the late John Nugent, of South Fredericksburgh, and was married forty-two years ago. She was the mother of ten children, nine of whom survive her, and with two grand-children, live at home. She was a consistent member of the Episcopalian Church and a devoted christian. The funeral was held on Monday and was largely attended, Rev. E. H. M. Baker preaching an appropriate sermon. The sorrowing husband and family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.

Davy, J.P.	Late J.P. Davy, Odessa Mr. Davy was one of the oldest inhabitants of the township of Ernesttown, his place of birth. He was born near Bath, Nov. 29th, 1803 and five years later his father moved to the farm near Odessa, where J.P. Davy grew to manhood, and, coming into possession of the place, remained then until death called him away. His parents were Youman Americans, and came from Albany, N.Y., during the revolutionary war of 1776 as U.E. Loyalists, and settled in a wilderness on the bay shore, where Bath now stands. In the family there were two sons and five daughters. The eldest son, Peter Davy, did duty as a volunteer in Kingston in 1812. The lately deceased J.P. Davy, the second son, then 9 years old, came to Kingston to see his brother. During his visit an American gunboat appeared; the military were drawn up and a British gunboat, the Royal George, was sent out to meet her. A few shots were exchanged, and both boats damaged, but the American boat getting the worst of it, retreated. At this time Kingston, outside of the military quarters, was but a village and the buildings were chiefly built of logs. The site of Odessa was a bush, with here and there a field cleared. On May 1st, 1828, the subject of this sketch married Miss Eliza Montgomery. She was born in Vermont, N.S., in 1811, and came to this country in 1813. She was related to the late General Montgomery, a prominent character in Canadian history. Their family were three sons and two daughters. Prof. J.W. Davy, of this city, proprietor of the royal exchange, real estate, and patent office, and H.S. Davy, J.P., of Odessa, clothier, are the only children living; the latter is now owner of the old homestead. The Davy family have been a long-lived people; several grand-uncles and grand-aunts having lived to be over 100 years of age and none of them have died under 70 years of age. In religion Mr. Davy and his parents were Episcopal Methodists, and in politics he was a staunch reformer. He was of sound morals, never intoxicated in his life, and charity and honesty were his guides. Great sympathy is expressed by the friends for the widow left to mourn the loss of a good and loving husband.	Oct 18, 1888 Daily British Whig

Davy, Peter Robinson	In Memoriam - The Late P.R. Davy, Bath There passed peacefully to his rest on 22nd March, at Bath village, a husband, father, friend and neighbor in the person of Peter Robinson Davy, youngest son of the late Peter Davy of Bath, aged about sixty-four years. Though he had been declining for a year and more, the end came suddenly and unexpectedly at last. A brother, M.C. Davy, and four sisters, viz: Mrs. Lasher, Mrs. Kelso, Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. William Denee, survive, besides his wife and twelve children - six sons and six daughters. He was twice married. First in 1858 to Jane Alice Harper, sister-in-law and cousin of the then rector of Bath, the Rev. W.F.S. Harper, who bore him three children, only the eldest of whom, Fred Davy, Prescott, survives. Next in 1865 he married Mary Elizabeth Stanton, Marysburgh, by whom he had twelve children, all but one of whom, the eldest (who died young) survive him, and were, with the son by his former wife, fortunately able to be present in the home of mourning not many hours after their father's decease. Mr. Davy received his early education in the village school, and on securing it went for some time to Upper Canada College. On the demise of his father he succeeded to the ownership of the old Davy homestead and the fine farm attached thereto, and was for years prominent in social life and a man on independent means. He was enrolled as a member of Maple Leaf lodge, A.F. & A.M., No. 119, in 1865, and made honorary member in 1883, and this order out of respect for his memory claimed the privilege of conducting their late brother's funeral under Masonic auspices, the solemn burial service of the Church of England, of which he was a communicant member, having been first celebrated in old St. John's (of which his grandfather, John Davy, 100 years ago was one of the founders) and an appropriate sermon preached by his pastor, Rural Dean Baker. The funeral took place at one o'clock, on March 24th, and besides the attendance thereat of a large number of Masonic brethren of Bath and the surrounding district, so much respect was entertained for his memory by the public generally that it was more numerously attended than any funeral has been in this place for many years past.

Davy, Mrs. Peter	The Late Mrs. Peter Davy - We noticed in our issue of the 17th instant, the death of the late Mrs. Peter Davy, of Bath, relict of the late Peter Davy, Esq., one of the first settlers of this country. It may not be out of place to give some more definite history of one who has so recently passed away from amongst us. Mrs. Davy emigrated to this country with her father and mother in the year 1807, and has consequently been here for a period of 66 years, being 84 years of age when she died. She was born in the year 1799 (March 28th.) When she came to this country, like all others, she had to endure extreme hardships; but like the pioneers of Canada she showed what the Anglo-Saxon race could endure in danger and difficulty. She shortly after married the late Peter Davy, who was the son of a U.E. Loyalist, who always stood steadfast to his Queen and country. Mrs. Davy was the mother of fourteen children, nine of whom survived her, three sons and six daughters; fifty-nine grand-children, and eight great grand-children. She lived respected and died regretted. Her remains were deposited in their last resting place at St. John's Episcopal Church Burying Ground, Bath, on Thursday, the 19th inst., amongst a large assembly of her oldest friends and acquaintances; and we may add that out of respect to her memory every place of business in Bath was closed, and the utmost sorrow was felt, that one so long a resident of Bath, and so universally beloved had passed away.

Davy, Sidney Miller	OBITUARY – S. M. Davy – The many friends were greatly saddened to learn of the death of Sidney Miller Davy second son of Marshall Curtis Davy, Esq., aged 48 years, 8 months and 20 days, which took place last Sunday morning at 8:15. Deceased had been confined to his bed a little more than two weeks when he was taken to the Kingston General Hospital, in the hopes of being relieved from his intense pain by an operation. An operation was performed Ash Wednesday morning, but very little relief was obtained. He remained in the hospital until March 26^th, when, at his own request, he was taken home, where everything was done to make him comfortable. He rapidly grew worse and death relieved him of his sufferings April 27^th. Rev. Mr. Evans administered to his spiritual wants, visiting him from time to time during his illness, and conducted his funeral services, which took place the following Tuesday at 2 p.m. at St. John’s church, Bath.

Dean, Simon	SIMON DEAN - The son of Andrew and Margaret Dean was born June 9^th, 1850. In early life he was regarded as a quiet lad, being known as youthful mischief. He had a love for the word of God when very young, and while one day sitting near the house perusing the Scriptures a strange warmth kindled within him. Thus while reading of “the love of God shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost given unto us,” he exclaimed, “If that be religion, I have got it.” Having got it, he held on to it with great conscientiousness unto the end. He was married in 1872, and kept up family worship as long as possible under all the circumstances of unhappy domestic relationship. Stet vexata. About a year ago he returned to his father’s home near Tintern, a broken-down man in body and in spirit, but his hope in God was unshaken amid all his trials. Early last fall it became evident that consumption had set in, and at the time of our first visit we reminded the good brother that in all probability he had not long to live, and asked what preparation had been made for the journey beyond. With remarkable calmness he said, “Tis all right; I expect to die soon.” He was notably familiar with the promises of God’s Word, and his little Bible in his hand showed marks of faithful use. Paul said to Timothy, “From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.” The same thing seemed to be repeated in the life of Br. Simon Dean, to the honor and praise of God. He died at the residence of Andrew Dean, Esq., Tintern Mills, November 29^th, 1885. A large number of friends gathered at the house, thence to the Tintern church, where the writer sought to improve the solemn occasion by preaching a sermon on “the brevity of human life and the value of true piety.” All who knew this dear brother can bear testimony to his true piety, which accounts for his scrupulous conscientiousness and childlike honesty of action in all and with all with whom he had to do.

Delaney, Thomas	Died - Drowned at Adolphustown, on Sunday, June 27th, Thomas Delaney, of Amherst Island, and second eldest son of Mr. Patrick Delaney, of this city (Kingston). Drowned at Adolphustown - On Sunday a party of young men went sailing on the Bay of Quinte, off Adolphustown. Among them was Thomas Delaney, son of P. Delaney, of the Ontario Foundry. The boat was capsized and Delaney drowned. The unfortunate young man leaves a wife and two children on Amherst Island. His brother, William Delaney, is grappling for the body. The Delaney Drowning Accident - Body of the Unfortunate Man Not Found - Kindness of the People On Wednesday we briefly announced the death of Thomas Delaney, formerly of Kingston, by drowning off Adolphustown. William Delaney, brother of the deceased, was in the city yesterday and furnished the particulars of the sad affair. It seems that on Sunday evening about 5 o'clock five young men went sailing in a small boat, and near the close of their excursion something went wrong with the halyards. The sail having been lowered one of the young men climbed the mast. Whether or not this indiscretion led to the capsize of the craft is not known; at any rate about this time, and probably while the man up the spar made it top heavy, the boat went over, and its occupants were struggling in the water. One of the men was for a while held under the boat, and his companions thought he was drowned, but by and bye he appeared. Delaney was then secure, being with two others on the bottom of the upturned boat, and offered this fellow his hand and assistance, but he said he would follow the fifth one and swim ashore. After he had gone some distance he turned back. He was nearer the boat than he was to shore, and he put out for it. As he caught it, it made a second revolution in the water and this time Delaney disappeared. One of his friends thought they saw his hands above water subsequently, but not his head. He had sunk to rise no more. His brother, who is an employee of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, in their workshops at Belleville, spent Wednesday in searching for him, but to no purpose. He eventually decided to await the rise of the body, at the end of a certain number of days, but only after grappling had failed; and he will be forever grateful to the people of Adolphustown for the help they gave him and the sympathy they manifested for him. No one could receive greater kindness and no one could be more thankful. The remains of Delaney, drowned at Adolphustown, and recovered on Tuesday, were so decomposed that their burial immediately followed at Adolphustown.

The limit of growth had been attained, and the fruit matured, yet we regretfully record the death of an esteemed citizen, Joseph Dennee, which occurred at his residence, Bath, on Thursday, Oct. 24^th, at the grand old age of eighty-seven years. During the greater portion of his active life he was a tiller of the soil in the township of South Fredericksburgh, and succeeded in amassing a sufficient competency not only to educate his large family of sons and daughters, but to give them all a good start in life. Fifteen years ago he retired from the active duties of life, ensconsing himself in a pleasant home in Bath. His hospitality knew no bounds and being agreeable and entertaining in a marked manner he drew many friends to his fireside, who enjoyed his reminiscences of the past. He served the village faithfully as councillor for 1881 and could have been easily re-elected for the succeeding years, but he felt that such duties properly belonged to younger and more active men. He was a staunch conservative and a personal acquaintance and supporter of Sir John Macdonald. He died an earnest and consistent member of the church of England, to which denomination he had belonged for over sixty years. By his request, made some eight years ago, the Rev. Dr. Nimmo will preach his funeral sermon. His widow, aged eighty three, keenly feels her loss. She has many sympathizing friends to comfort her in this sad hour of trial. The deceased was a brother-in-law of Major Howard Richards, of Amherst Island, an octogenarian, hale and hearty. Mr. Richards has been a constant attendant at the bedside of the deceased since his sickness, and by his presence sustained and comforted him in every trying moment.	Oct 31 1889 Weekly British Whig

Detlor, Byard	He Had A Very Sad End The Circumstances Attending a Young Man’s Death in the West The following is clipped from the Freeman, of Webster City, Iowa. Mr. Detlor was for many years connected with the establishment of W.S. Detlor & Co., Napanee: One of the saddest and most distressing deaths that have occurred for many a day was that of Byard Detlor, last Saturday. Ever since the middle of December when Mr. Detlor first exhibited evidences of insanity, his family and this community have been very solicitous of his welfare. He was taken to two or three different private institutions for treatment, in the hope that such relief might be obtained as would restore his shattered mind and return him to his family and friends. At intervals during the first three months of his troubles he exhibited signs of returning reason, but only to dash all hopes to the ground by a relapse into a condition that plainly showed that his case was well nigh hopeless. Finally and after every other expedient had been tried, he was, by proper authority, adjudged insane and taken to the Independence asylum. The circumstances of his death, as reported from Independence, are as follows: About 4 o’clock on the afternoon of may 23^rd, he was missed from the grounds adjoining the asylum, where certain patients (accompanied by attendants) are allowed to pass a part of their time on pleasant days. He had evidently so conducted himself as to disarm all suspicion that he would attempt to escape from the institution and at a moment when restraint was relaxed he quietly slipped away. Search was at once instituted and kept up most of the night, but without avail. It was resumed early next morning and about ten o’clock in the forenoon his body was found in the river some two miles from the asylum. He was seen going in the direction of the stream late in the afternoon by a farmer and the supposition is that the body was in the water all night, although there is no evidence that this is so. Friends were notified by telegram, first of the escape, then of this death early Sunday morning and the remains were sent to Webster City Monday. The body was found in a kneeling posture in about three feet of water, with a small portion of the back of the head unsubmerged. Byard Detlor was born in South Fredericksburgh, Ont., in 1846; came to Webster City in the spring of 1871 and opened a drug store in the room now occupied by the Hamilton County State bank. In 1873 he formed a co-partnership with L.L. Estes, which continued until 1878, when Geo. W. Teed succeeded Mr. Estes as a co-partner in the business, the firm being Teed & Detlor for about four years. The grief stricken widow and children – three sons and two daughters – are left to mourn their irreparable loss.	June 18 1891 Weekly British Whig
Detlor, Byard	Detlor - At Hawley, Saturday 24th June, Byard Detlor, aged 82 years and 10 months. OBITUARY - BYARD DETLOR, ESQ. - By the death of Mr. Byard Detlor, the township of South Fredericksburgh has lost one of its oldest and most respected sons. He was born in that township in 1816, and was consequently nearly eighty-three years of age at the time of his death. He lived all his life time in that township and was an excellent type of its excellent and intelligent farmers. Up to the last he retained his physical and intellectual strength to a remarkable degree and was only a couple of days sick - of a paraletic stroke. Mr. Detlor was of U.E. Loyalist descent. His grandfather, Valentine Detlor, came to this province with the Loyalist refugees in 1784 and settled in the township and not far from the locality where some of the fifth generation of the same family now reside. He was a soldier of the King's Loyal Regiment of New York during the American revolution and was on the official government provision list in 1786. The land first granted to him by the Government was, according to the Crown lands record, sold to Cyrenus Parks. Jacob Detlor, his son, was the father of the subject of this notice and was also a life-long resident of the same township. Mr. Byard Detlor married Miss Martha Ham, a daughter of Mr. John Ham, one of the early prominent residents of Fredericksburgh, who survives him with six of their children. The sons living are George, Jacob and Perry, all residents of South Fredericksburgh, and Delew, in Minnesota. Another, son, Byard, was for some years a promising young resident of Napanee and died not long ago, after a very successful business career in Iowa. The daughters are Rebecca, wife of Charles Hawley, Esq., of Hawley, and Josephine, wife of C.R. Mallory near Cobourg. The deceased was an active and consistent member of the Methodist church, and a man of very exemplary and consistent life. In politics he was a conservative, but he never took a very active interest in political affairs. Passed Peacefully Away Mr. Byard Detlor, an old and highly respected resident of Hawley died on Saturday after a short illness. He was nearly eighty-three years of age and kept possession of his health and mental faculties to the last. He suffered a paralytic stroke and only survived two days. His wife was a daughter of John Ham, an early Methodist local preacher. She survives him, and she is a sister of Zina Ham, of Napanee, and Mrs. Solomon Wright, of Fredericksburgh. The funeral took place on Monday from his late residence. Died - Detlor - In South Fredericksburgh on June 24th 1899, Byard Detlor aged 82 years and 10 months.

Detlor, Elce (Elsie) (nee Huffnail)	DETLOR – At the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. D. Keenan, of Marshall, North Dakota, on Sunday, January 16^th, 1916, Elcy Detlor, relict of the late St. George Detlor, of Napanee in her 93^rd year. The Huffnail Family The Last of an Old U.E. Loyalist Family That Inhabited South Fredericksburgh Township – An Historical Sketch By An Old Friend Napanee Feb 26 – A.R. Davis, Toronto, writes in the Beaver: There passed away on January 16^th, 1916, in Mohall, North Dakota, the last member of an old United Empire Loyalist family of South Fredericksburgh, in the person of Mrs. Elsie Huffnail, relict of the late St. George Detlor, in her 93rd year. Deceased was one of a large family of daughters of Jacob and Jane Huffnail, several of whom married and settled in their native township and Adolphustown, each of them, like Mrs. Detlor, raising a large family, which have now become scattered far and wide. Mrs. Detlor reared eight daughters, all of whom were married, and spent her declining years with the youngest, Mrs. W. D. Keenan, in North Dakota, where in 1900, this octogenarian filed on a homestead and obtained her patent for 160 acres. She came of a sturdy race. Her grandfather, Andrew Huffnail, who died in 1841, at the age of 70, as recorded in the old UEL cemetery at Adolphustown, where he and his son, Jacob, who died in 1880 at the age of 83 were buried, was only a lad of 13 when he landed with the first Loyalist contingent that ascended the Bay of Quinte on that memorable day, June 16th, 1784, in the little cove adjoining the cemetery. Andrew "Huffnagle" must have been an ambitious youth for we find in the old records in the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, that he filed a UEL claim not only in South Fredericksburgh, adjoining No. 11, which became the family homestead, but also in what has since become Prince Edward County and also in Hastings County. Doubtless he became ashamed of his German name in the new British possessions, for the records show that "Huffnagle" disappeared and the Anglicized name of Huffnail took its place, which after enduring for several generations, has now disappeared forever. One of the sisters of Mrs. Detlor married Thomas Carnahan and of the large family raised on the adjoining farm to the Huffnail homestead, but one member, Edward Carnahan remains in the township, and he resides on the spot where the original Huffnail log shanty was erected, and where in succeeding years, a large frame house was built on a side hill with a basement kitchen like a modern bank barn. This quaint old building, familiar a generation or two ago to every one in the front townships, is now unknown to all but a few of the older people who can remember the quiet, honest, kind-hearted old farmer, Jacob Huffnail, who, leaning heavily upon his strong cane, walked slowly around the premises and cordially greeted the neighbors who saluted him in passing. Another daughter married John VanCott, and subsequently Robert Peterson. The two VanCott sons moved to Manitoba and the Petersons have long since passed away. Another became Mrs. John Hazlett, and raised a large family in Adolphustown on what afterwards became the Hanlon, and now the Johnston farm. None of the Hazlett family remain in the old district. Those living are in various parts of the Western States, and the name has disappeared from the township records. Another daughter, Amy Ann, married Archibald C. Davis, a grandson of Henry Davis, the Loyalist pioneer, who homesteaded on lot 16 in the 2nd concession of Adolphustown, about a mile west of the Huffnail homestead. As was the universal custom of those bygone days, a large family was raised in the Davis home on the south half of lot 16, but the north half became barren, for there, Peter D. Davis living with his father and mother after all the other members of the large family had left the old root tree, remained an old bachelor to his dying day. But there was a husky bunch of seven boys and two girls in the family south of the road and how their parents found enough food to satisfy their ravenous appetites has always been a grave mystery to at least one member of that brood. The gentle, heroic mother did her duty faithfully and well and departed to her final rest at an early age, when the writer was but eight years old. Dim, but pleasant recollections remain of that good mother, who like all the other Huffnail women, and particularly Mrs. Detlor, was always kind and considerate and deeply thoughtful of the comfort and happiness of others. They doubtless inherited the characteristics of their father, Jacob Huffnail and it is to be devoutly hoped that the many good qualities of those plain, honest kind-hearted progenitors of our present generation may be perpetuated in the lives of our children and grandchildren. Nelson Davis and his family and George and Amy Ann still remain on the old Davis homestead; and while the Huffnail name has now disappeared after a period of 132 years, since the U.E. Loyalist landing, the blood still prevails in the widely scattered families enumerated above, and will continue to prevail for many generations. Thus it has been in the history of many other names and families in our old County of Lennox; and it would be well if some member of each family would trace back the history of these grand old men and women to the beginning of life in this new country, even in such a rough disconnected way as this has been done in order that those coming after us may have some basis for tracing their ancestry back through the period in which we live. After the great sacrifice of the noblest and best of our young men has been made to preserve the heritage, which our forefathers through privation and suffering obtained for us, we should at the conclusion of the war, celebrate our victory, not only in welcoming home our brave boys, from the front, but also in honoring the memory of those stalwart pioneers who not only gave us birth, but a birthright to preserve and foster, whose names, like that of the Huffnails, we had well nigh forgotten.

Detlor, Perry Zina	Perry Zina Detlor It is a beautiful thought and consoles us greatly to know that when we pass from "death to life", we do "rest from our labors and our works do follow us". Such is our consolation in the great loss of Perry Zina Detlor. He passed into rest on Wednesday, October 22nd, 1919 at his home in Napanee. Words fail us when we attempt to speak of his life and worth. He was born on his father's farm at Hawley in 1858, and there spent practically his whole life. Two boys brightened the home with cheer and imbibed the sweet smelling savour of the ever present Divine Spirit which always permeated the home. It was a devoted home, devoted to each other and devoted to their God. War came with its heart-renderings and the "call to arms" came to the younger, Walter Detlor. He went to France to do what he thought to be his supreme duty, and there a higher summons came, saying "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord." This brought a terrible grief upon the home. Perry Detlor, as father in that grief-stricken home, bore up manfully for the sake of the others, but he carried an inward grief which hastened his death. Now Heaven is richer, but we are poorer, poorer because we miss him in his wise counsels and fine judgments. A little over a year ago he left the farm to reside in Napanee but he never lived away from Hawley. He was one of the corner stones in the church, having been a steward on the Quarterly Official Board of the Bath Circuit for many years. He was truly the preacher's friend, being ready at all times to lend a hand financially and spiritually. As a trustee of the Hawley church he was Secretary-Treasurer until the time of his removal to Napanee. But while he was removed from us, yet his spirit was always with us, having spent his last service in the church dear to his heart. His life was a life full of Christian service, a good neighbour, a friend to all and enemy to none. His last public service rendered was to register himself as he had done throughout his life, in favor of the great Temperance cause. His was a life well spent. We miss him now, but Heaven is richer for he was a man after God's own heart.	Nov 28 1919 Napanee Beaver

Detlor, Samuel McL.	Obituary Notes - Samuel McL. Detlor, Esq. On Tuesday morning of this week the people of the town were much shocked and surprised to learn that one o tour old and well known townsmen, Samuel McL. Detlor, Esquire, had suddenly passed away during the previous night. He had been rather feeble in health for some time and complained of feeling very weak for a few days past, but was able to be about up to the day of his death. No one supposed his end was so near. On Monday night he complained of not feeling well, and his daughter, Mrs. Madden, was sitting up with him. She noticed after a time that his head appeared to hang down languidly, and to her surprise she found that death had come. So quietly and inperceptably was his last end. Mr. Detlor was born in Napanee a little over 72 years ago, and he spent all his active days here. He was of U.E. Loyalist descent; his father and mother being both of U.E.L. families. His father, the late George H. Detlor, Esq., was for many years a leading business man and citizen in this county. He was one of the earliest merchants and represented Lennox and Addington in the old parliament of Upper Canada, in company with John Solomon Cartwright, from 1836 to 1841. He was, later on, for years, Clerk of the old United Counties Council of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, and then an officer in the Customs at Kinston for some years. The deceased was a member of the first Town Council of Napanee and sat many years at the council board. He was also, for some years, a member of the County Council, and was also a member of the High School board, appointed by the County Council. A few years ago, he moved to London, Ont., and remained there until last year, when he again returned to Napanee. He married Miss Nancy Grange, a sister of our townsmen, Messrs. John T. and A.W. Grange. She survives him with their three children, Mrs. J. Madden, of Napanee; Mrs. Eugene Richardson, of Belleville; and Mr. George Detlor, of London. He was one of thirteen children of whom only two now remain, Mrs. James Perry and Miss Helen Detlor, both of Napanee. His brothers, the late Wm. V., St. George, and Titus Detlor, were all well known citizens of Napanee for years. He was a member of the Methodist church, and in politics one of the old Reform party. The funeral will take place on Thursday, at 2 o'clock, at the house.	May 30 1900 Napanee Star

Detlor, William Spencer	William S. Detlor, Napanee, Died Monday Deceased Was Aged Eighty-Seven – For Over Fifty Years a Druggist Napanee, April 15 – An old and respected citizen in the person of William Spencer Detlor, passed over to the majority last night, in his eighty-seventh year. The deceased had been in the enjoyment of fair health until a week ago Sunday when he suffered from a slight form of paralysis, from which he never recovered, but it resulted in his death about 6 o’clock yesterday evening. Mr. Detlor was twice married, his first wife being Mrs. Sarah Trumpour, Adolphustown, by whom he had one son, who died fifteen years ago and the wife died ten years ago. Nine years ago he married Mrs. Deming, of Napanee, who survives him. William Spencer Detlor was born in the township of Fredericksburgh eighty-seven years ago and had been a life-long resident of this county, most of the time being spent in the town of Napanee. For upwards of fifty years he conducted a drug store business here, with success, until he retired in 1902, when the present occupant of the premises, F.L. Hooper, acquired the business. Since his retirement, Mr. Detlor, who was an ardent floriculturist and horticulturist, had ample time and scope for the indulgence of his passion for the beautiful in nature, in these branches, in the extensive and charming grounds surrounding his home on Bridge street. He is survived by two brothers, Byard Detlor, who is a farmer living near Preston, and Edmond Detlor, who resides at Grass Lake, Mich. He was predeceased by his sister, Miss Martha, just two weeks ago, and she was buried at Sydenham. The deceased never took a prominent part in politics, but in the long ago he was an intimate friend of the late Sir John A. Macdonald. In speaking of one unfortunate episode in the career of that great statesman, he told of the time when Sir John was unseated in this riding and that he (Mr. Detlor) was the only man to walk down street, from the court house with him – all his party friends had forsaken him. The funeral, which is private, will take place from his late residence, Bridge street at 2.30 p.m. on Thursday. Religious services will be conducted by Rev. Rural Dean J.H.H. Coleman, M.A. Mr. and Mrs. R.G.H. Travers, of Walkerville, Ont., son-in-law and daughter are with Mrs. Detlor in her bereavement.	Apr 15 1924 Daily British Whig
Detlor, William V.	Mr. William V. Detlor Another name has this week been added to the list of old and respected residents of this neighborhood who have lately been gathered to their fathers, being that of Mr. William V. Detlor, Clerk of the County Council of the County of Lennox and Addington and American Consul at this port. Mr. Detlor, whose health has been failing for some months past, but more noticeably since the beginning of June, went down to Davy's Island two weeks ago for the purpose of spending a few days, with the hope of deriving benefit from the change of air. He seemed to feel better after being there for some days. On Monday, however, an aggravated attack of the complaint from which he has long suffered rendered medical assistance necessary to subdue it, and it was then decided that he should return home, which he did the following morning. A renewal of the attack after his return on Tuesday terminated fatally, closing the earthly pilgrimage of a man widely known and wherever known, respected. The deceased was the second son of Mr. John S. Detlor, who has resided for many years in Napanee and has now reached the good old age of eighty-eight years. The subject of this notice was born in the township of North Fredericksburgh, about three miles from the town of Napanee, in the year 1823. After receiving what was in his boyhood's years considered a fair education, he entered into commercial life in Napanee, doing business as a general merchant and also as a grain merchant, with which in the course of time he combined conveyancing, insurance and other businesses. He always took an active part in municipal affairs, has been Township Clerk, and member of both town and township councils, and in the year 1865, when the County of Lennox and Addington was formally set apart as a separate municipality he was appointed clerk of the first County Council, and the fact that he held the position up to the day of his death attests to the faithfulness with which he discharged the numerous and not always easy duties connected with it. Some years ago he was elected Mayor of the town, but upon the trial of a writ quo warranto issued it was held that occupying the position of Clerk of the County Council disqualified him for that of mayor, and he was accordingly unseated. He has been for some two or three years past American Consul at this port, in the discharge of the duties of which office he has always been courteous and obliging to those brought into official contact with him. He was also a Commissioner for taking affidavits for use in the United States and in other Provinces of the Dominion. Though somewhat retiring in disposition, he was never the less both in public and private life, at all times easy of access for either business or friendly intercourse, kind, obliging and courteous. Methodical and scrupuiously careful in attending to his numerous duties he was cautious about entering into engagements of any kind he did not see his way clear to fulfill, and when he had given his promise that he would do a thing it was faithfully dept; so that now, at the close of a long and useful career, none are found unwilling to say of him, he was an honest man. Mr. Detlor was in the fifty-ninth year of his age at the time of his death, which will be mourned by a wife and two young surviving sons. His funeral took place on Thursday morning, and was largely attended.	July 29 1882 Napanee Standard

Diamond, Thomas F.	Obituary - The Late Thos. F. Diamond The passing of Thomas F. Diamond, Toronto, Ont., reminds us that another descendant of the old United Empire Loyalists family of Diamonds, who located on the shores of Hay Bay many decades ago, has passed on to his reward. "Tommy" as he was better known was born at Hay Bay, being the son of Barnabus and Elizabeth Diamond. He received his education at Hay Bay and Napanee, afterward taking up residence in the U.S.A., where he was engaged, for many years, in the fabrication of cloth materials by The Riverside Woolen Mills co., of Providence, R.I. In 1900 he resigned his position to take over a very successful insurance business with The Metropolitan Insurance company. However, in 1920, he heard the call from his native land (Canada) and moved to Toronto, with his sister, the late Mrs. Hellen Robertson, and purchased a thriving rooming house business which he carried on successfully until four years ago, when Mrs. Robertson passed on. Tommy sold out his business when his sister passed on and lived retired, in Toronto. It was while he was visiting his nephew, Mr. Walter A. Diamond of No. 3 Baylis Ave., Yorkville, N.Y., that he contracted a severe cold and passed away from a heart attack in the hospital there on the eighteenth of February last. Tommy was a Methodist in religion, a conservative in politics, regardless of the many years he spent in the U.S.A., he remained true to the principles of his U.E.L. ancestors and retained his Canadian citizenship. He had a wonderful personality, and was a keen business man. One could not realize that he had passed his allotted time of three score years and ten. One sister survives, Mrs. Arthur Rendell, of No. 9 South Pelham St., Rhinelander, Wisc. After a service at the home of his nephew, Mr. Walter A. Diamond, the remains were placed in the Yorkville, N.Y. vault, to await interment in the family plot at Sandhurst Ontario in the spring.	March 7 1934 Napanee Beaver

Dibb, Rev. Frederick Thomas	HORRIBLE ACCIDENT - One of the most distressing accidents occurred at the Grand Trunk station on Friday noon last. The Rev. Rural Dean Dibb, accompanied by his wife, little daughter Jessie and his sister-in-law, Mrs. W. C. Smith, went to the station to take the fast train for Kingston. When they arrived at the depot the mail train was just in and they decided not to wait for the fast train. Mr. Dibb went to secure the tickets, while the others boarded the train. The train started and he rushed from the station and succeeded in catching hold of the handles of the coach, but unable to maintain his grip, was swung under the moving train. Two coaches passed over the unfortunate man’s body, cutting it to pieces before the train was stopped. The friends were taken from the train and driven to their home. Rev. Frederick Thomas Dibb was born in India, where his father was Chaplain to the British forces. He took a course at Bishop’s college, Lennoxville, Que., and was ordained by the late Archbishop of Ontario in 1892. From that year until 1897 he was missionary at Ernesttown, being made Rural Dean of Lennox and Addington in the latter year. He became acting rector of Bath in 1899 and in 1904 was sent to Deseronto. He undertook a mission at Odessa in 1903, and on the retirement of Rev. Arthur Jarvis, rector of St. Mary Magdalene’s Church, Napanee, was appointed vicar of that parish. Mr. Dibb was a strong man, physically, mentally and morally and was a vigorous advocate of temperance principles and of all measures leading to better citizenship.	Newspaper Clipping

Mr. Downey on coming to Canada first took up his residence in Camden township where he remained for a brief period. He then removed to South Fredericksburgh where he resided up to a few years ago when he removed to Napanee. He was an energetic, industrious and intelligent agriculturist, and by the exercise of these qualities accumulated a handsome competency, at the same time instilling into his family of seven sons these same qualities with the result that they have made the name of Downey one of the best known in business circles in the Dominion as well as in the Northern States. During Mr. Downey's residence on the farm he served his municipality as reeve and councillor for many years to the discharge of the duties of which offices he brought to bear ripe experience and strict probity. In politics he was always a consistent supporter of the Conservative party and did valuable service in the ranks, while at the same time retaining by his inoffensive manner the esteem of his opponents. Of a family of four only one survives him, a sister, Mrs. Thos. Neilson of South Fredericksburgh. Mr. Downey leaves a family of seven sons and two daughters - the latter Mrs. A. D. McRossie and Mrs. Charles McGreer - and ten grandchildren. He was a man of excellent character, upright and honourable in all his dealings.	1883 Records supplied by Mrs. Mertie Jean Ackerman

Dusenberry, James	Extract of a Letter, dated Ernest Town, Wednesday morning, 2 o’clock, Feb. 17^th, 1819. On Sunday, two men (Sarraizin, the cooper, and James Dusenberry) who had been from the Mill Creek over to Fish Point, and were returning in a double sleigh drawn by one horse, drove into a crack, about a third of the distance over, where the ice had parted twenty or thirty feet, and the water was skimmed over with ice of the preceding night’s freezing. The horse and sleigh are supposed to have gone down instantly; but the men remained on the surface, until their cries had alarmed a man on the island and another on this shore, who ran to their assistance, and arrived near enough to see them struggling; but, before they could reach them, they went down. The bottom was raked on Monday, and the bodies, horse and sleigh drawn up in twenty fathoms water. Yesterday they were interred. Mr. Fletcher delivered one of the most pathetic sermons, to which I ever listened.	Feb 19 1819 Kingston Chronicle
