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in Dublin, Ireland, but with the introduction of machinery which superseded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. |

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, 12th 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 |

Daly, Edward |
The Late Edward Daly - Mr. Edward Daly, whose death occurred at
his residence in London, Ont., on Friday last, 15th 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 -

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. |

1911 to George and Elva (Bruner) Daverne in Adolphustown. After elementary
school in Adolphustown and secondary education at Bath Continuation School,
Dick worked for the Royal Bank in Bath from age 15 to 18, until he returned
to take over the family farm in 1930. 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.

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.
He is survived also by his brother, Cummings of Napanee; and his sisters,

wrote before his illness.... "I want my family to remember me for
keeping the farm in the family and I hope they will continue to do so
forever." And his final message to family and friends said, "I have
lived a full life. Please do not regret my passing. No one should or could
ask for more. |

Davies, Evelyn (nee

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. |

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. |

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. |

pneumonia. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to his many friends

generous, manly. He was the soul of honor, and his friends and friendships
were sacred to him. The deceased was born near the vicinity of Napanee,
Ontario, March 19th, 1880 and was a little over 39 years of age. On September
25th, 1907, he was united in marriage to Miss Nellie Kitchen, and to this
union were born four children, two boys and two girls. Besides a wife and
children, he leaves a mother, three brothers and one sister. He was an active
member of the Masonic and Workman lodges. His death was a shock to the entire

from whose fireside the light had fled. We feel the emptiness of human words

(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 2nd 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
8th, 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 19th,
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. |

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 28th 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. |

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.
Deceased was eighty-five year of age. The funeral takes place Friday morning
from Napanee to the Methodist church, Adolphustown, with interment at
Adolphustown cemetery. |

Edeline Scott, who proved a true helpmeet to him. His sickness was brief, and
on December 8, 1903, he peacefully passed away. He leaves a wife, four sons,
and one daughter to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those without
hope. On December 10 his funeral sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. R.

years. He also leaves six brothers, W.W. Davis, Sidney, Man.; A.R., of
Winnipeg; T.N. Davis and George of Adolphustown and Miss Amy Davis, at home.
Deceased was a faithful member of the Methodist church, and also of the

PETER D. DAVIS – The subject of this memorial was born on
September, 17th, 1832, and died September 8th, 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 5th 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. |

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. |

February 26th, in the person of Thomas Nelson Davis, in his 61st
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
2nd 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. |

Ross was born in Napanee, February 7th, 1891, and after passing
through the public schools of that place, moved with his family to Brandon,
near Winnipeg, and last autumn to Toronto, in all of which places he became
well known and loved in collegiate and university circles. 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. |

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. |

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. |

Drowned - Mr. George Davy, son of Mr. John Davy, tavern keeper,

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

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Dean, Simon |
SIMON DEAN - The son of Andrew and Margaret Dean was born June 9th,
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 29th, 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.

Died - Drowned at Adolphustown, on Sunday, June 27th, Thomas
Delaney, of Amherst Island, and second eldest son of Mr. Patrick Delaney, of

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. |

Deline, George |
The Late George Deline Mr. George Deline, a very well known and highly respected
citizen of Napanee, died at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. David
Anderson, Brantford, on Wednesday afternoon, June 2nd. Mr. Deline had been in failing health for
the past two years and had been seriously ill with heart trouble for the past
two months. Believing a change might be beneficial, he and his wife went to
Brantford about six weeks ago to stay with their granddaughter. But shortly after, his condition became
worse and for over two weeks before his death he suffered intensely. Mr. and Mrs. Deline came to Napanee about fifteen years ago and
until forced to give up active work two years ago. Mr. Deline was a faithful employee of
Drake’s Bakery and later of The Francis Bakery. He was born nearly 77 years ago at Roblin
and was the son of John and Elizabeth Deline.
He married Essie Wickware of Cloyne, and when he was about 24 years
old they went to live at Cloyne where they conducted a general store business
for over 30 years. After leaving
Cloyne they were in the same business at Croydon for 15 years. At both places Mr. Deline conducted the
post office and was in charge of a mail route. After disposing of their business at
Croydon they went to Foliett in Northern Ontario where they remained a year,
then later were in the general store business at Newcastle from which place
they came to Napanee about 15 years ago. Mr. Deline was always known as a man of very fine character and
for the past ten years had been a devout member of the Pentecostal
assembly in Napanee. He was a member for many years of Tweed
Masonic Lodge. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Quinn and Mrs.
R. W. Douglas of Hornepayne and Mrs. Harry Kellar of Toronto, and three sons,
Walter at Newcastle, Iner C. at Hornepayne and Sherman in the United
States. Another son, Augustus, died
about three years ago. A twin brother Mr. John Deline of Roblin also

this portion of Ernestown, and with the exception of four years spent in
South Napanee, had resided continuously in the Odessa district. Thirteen
years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Denyes came to the village to reside. He was probably
one of the best known residents of the township of Ernestown and was held in
the highest of respect by his friends. All his life he had been a strong
Liberal and was keenly interested in political affairs. He was a member of
the United Church. He was the last surviving member of the family of ten. Deceased was twice married. His first wife who was Miss

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 23rd, 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. |

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. Byard Detlor, of Hawley, South Fredericksburgh, died on
Saturday. He was one of the oldest and best known residents of that township.

DETLOR – At the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. D. Keenan, of
Marshall, North Dakota, on Sunday, January 16th, 1916, Elcy
Detlor, relict of the late St. George Detlor, of Napanee in her 93rd
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 16th, 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. |

sufferer from cancer of the bowel, and after suffering fearfully for this
long period death came to him last Saturday, the 17th, as a
relief. With Christian fortitude his agony was borne without complaint. The
funeral took place at two o’clock on Monday afternoon, religious services
being conducted at the house by Rev. G.H. Copeland, pastor of the Methodist
church. A large gathering of relatives and friends was present to tender
their sympathy by their presence at the last to one whom all respected while
alive. The remains were conveyed to Morven, to be laid in the family plot
there. Mr. Detlor was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Byron Detlor, of
Hawley. He was sixty-five years and four months of age. In the year 1871 he
married Miss Mary Ann Fralick, of Morven, who survives him. Of this union
there were two sons and three daughters, two of the latter and one of the
former having died some years ago. Those surviving are Miss Ettie B. and
Harry B., both at home. Three brothers and two sisters – George, of Odessa;
Delu, of Dakota; Perry, of Hawley; Mrs. Charles Hawley, of Hawley, and Mrs.
Clark Mallory, of Cobourg, survive. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Detlor lived at Hawley for
twelve years, going from there to Adolphustown and Napanee, spending a short
time in each place. About twelve years ago they came to town, where they have
resided since. In religion he was a member of the Methodist church, and in
politics a conservative. He was a member of the A.O.U.W. being affiliated
with the lodge at Bath. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Mrs. R. James Dickson A link with the past was broken by the death on Monday, January

the youngest child and only daughter of a family of eight children. Her
parents were Robert Magee and Anabella Anderson, who came to Canada from
Ireland in 1868. Her chief interest was her home and family but in her
personality there was a radiance felt by others and a very evident, quiet
Christian faith. Her life was saddened by the death in 1943 of her younger
daughter, Anabella. Surviving are her husband, one son, Fred, on the homestead, Mary
(Mrs. Ross VanDyck) of Bath, and Alex Magee, her youngest brother. Her

Dingman Nancy (nee Woodcock) |
Obituary - Mrs. Nancy DIngman Far over the hills with a smile on her face, Mrs. Nancy Dingman
slipped away home, when God's finger touched her and she slept. Born in North
Fredericksburgh, of U.E.L. parentage, Nancy Woodcock lived her life in the
Bethany neighbourhood. He mother was lovingly known as Aunt Allie and lived
to serve and love for nearly 100 years. One cannot speak too highly of her parents
and brothers, as they were one of the best families considered from every
viewpoint that has blessed our community by living here. Miss Nancy Woodcock was true to her bringing up, and lived a
life of unusual helpfulness in the community and church. Being of a very
optimistic temperament, she never was a fault finder, but saw the bright side
of everything and the good in everyone. In her 52nd year she married Manson Dingman, and enjoyed
eighteen years of happy married life. Mr. Dingman predeceased her in 1904. Mrs. Dingman lived on with us through the years, always
cheerful, always helpful and beloved by all who knew her. On March 13th last she celebrated her 92nd birthday, in the best
of health for one of her age, but for the last six weeks or so it was evident
to her friends the end was drawing near, and at the noon hour on Friday, May
20th, she passed quietly away. The funeral service was held at Bethany Church, on Sunday, May
22nd and was attended by the many friends and neighbours who had known and
appreciated her worth throughout the years of her long and useful life. The
member of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Church sat as mourners. After the
service the interment took place beside her late husband in Bethany cemetery,
North Fredericksburgh, Ont. |

Death of Charles Dollar - Found Dead in the Yard Near His
Farmhouse A sudden death occurred on Saturday last. Charles Dollar, York
Road, one of the oldest and most respected residents as well as one of the
best known in the county was found dead in his yard. He had lived alone for a
number of years and it is not known just at what time the spark of life fled.
He was noticed in the morning by his neighbor, around doing his chores, and
as his sister, Mrs. Bell, and her husband were returning from market they discovered
him dead, only a short distance from where his wife was found dead some
twelve years ago. Deceased was born in Kingston in September 1817, and was in
his eightieth year, but no one would have taken him for more than seventy.
His father was an old British soldier and took part in the war of 1812. He
was present at the battle of Lundy's Lane and after disbanding settled in
Kingston. Five children were born three of whom yet live, Nelson and John, of
Napanee, and Mrs. Samuel Bell, of Ernesttown. Louis, another brother, died
only a few months ago. His wife was Miss Batie Bell, a sister of Samuel and
William Bell, of Ernesttown, who, it will be remembered, was also found dead
in the yard. They had no children. He was for some years a member of the township
council of Fredericksburgh. He was a man of very quiet and retiring
disposition, a consistent member of the Methodist church and a staunch
conservative. He was a man of very temperate habits and a life long advocate
of temperance and of a most cheery and pleasant disposition. He was one of
the youngest old men in the neighborhood. He was never known to be sick, and
was in Napanee the day before his death in his usual health. |
