Edgar, David |
Obituary - David Edgar - one of the
few remaining old people who had to do with the early settling of this
district, passed to his reward on Wednesday last, at the advanced age of over
80 years. Deceased was born in North Fredericksburgh, and with the exception
of a few years his long life was spent in that township. His early years were
characterized by the hardships and privations common to the first-comers in
an unsettled country. In 1843, he was married to Mary Simmons Quackenbush,
who, during their long married life of 45 years, proved a loving and faithful
help-meet. Mrs. Edgar died in February, 1888. Deceased was one of a family of
eleven children, all but one, Augustus, of Beaver Lake, of whom have gone
before. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Edgar - James who died at the
early age of six years, and Wm. B. who is well known in town and hereabouts.
About the time of attaining his majority deceased engaged in the millwright
trade, and attained such skill in his calling that his services were in constant
demand, and many of the old mills through this section, now in good running
order, are specimens of his handiwork. He saw military service in 1837-8
rebellion, at Kingston, under Capt. Macdonald. He was a member of the
Township council before the Fredericksburghs were divided; also of the County
Council when that body held their sessions in Kingston. He came of U.E.L.
stock, his ancestors having been soldiers in the British army in the
revolutionary war of 1776, his grandfather serving in Gen. Burgoyne's army.
In politics he was a staunch Conservative, and was a power among his fellows
in the old days when the polls were kept open for a week. For over fifty
years he was a member of L.O.L. No. 358, to which he rendered faithful and
efficient service, and was in turn honored with all the offices at its
disposal. In him the temperance cause had a warm friend. About a year ago his
mind began to weaken, though his bodily strength was good, he being able to
do light work about the house and barns. There was no indication of a sudden
dissolution - he ate his dinner as usual, but immediately after was taken
with a fainting spell, and in a few moments was dead. The funeral takes place
this morning from his late residence, Rev. Caleb Parker, of the Western Methodist
church, of which body deceased had been a lifelong member, conducting the
service. The remains were interred in the Western cemetery. |

Elliott, James |
OBITUARY – James Elliott – a prominent citizen of the village of
Tamworth, passed into eternity on Monday morning last, at the Kingston
General hospital. The cause of death
was appendicitis. Four years ago
deceased suffered from an attack of the same complaint. Until ten days ago,
deceased was enjoying perfect health, but on Tuesday, the 7th
inst., he was taken ill and grew rapidly worse, so that on Thursday, a week
ago, it was decided to take him to the hospital at Kingston for
treatment. Deceased, who was a son of
the late Joseph Elliott, was born on his father’s farm, a mile from Tweed,
about forty-seven years ago. He was
one of a family of fourteen children, nine sons and five daughters, and is
the first to succumb to the silent reaper, Death. The brothers are William, of British
Columbia; Rev. Joseph, English church
clergyman of North Augusta; Rev.
Archie, English church clergyman, of Carleton Place, formerly of Camden
East; Charles, tanner of
Tamworth; George of Brandon; Frank, of British Columbia; Robert, of Queensboro, and John of
Manitoba. One sister resides in New
York, another is the wife of Rev. Mr. Roberts, English church clergyman of
Adolphustown, and two reside on the homestead near Tweed. Deceased leaves a sorrowing widow and a
family of five young sons. The body
arrived in Tamworth on the evening train on Monday, and was met at the
station by almost the entire community and escorted to Mr. Elliott’s late
home, where, until a late hour the remains were viewed by the sorrowing friends
and neighbors. Deceased moved to
Tamworth in 1892 and opened up the old tannery which had been closed down for
some time. By close attention and good
work he established a profitable business, which to the last kept on growing
on his hand. Prior to going to
Tamworth he had been engaged at farming near Shannonville. He was a prominent member of the A.O.U.W.,
being Master Workman of the lodge at Tamworth, and put a lot of that energy
into his work in that office, so with the help of an organizer, during the
last five days of October thirty new members were added to the Tamworth
lodge. Inside of the last ten days he
was at Centreville, with other members of the lodge, attending a public
meeting to induce others to join the order.
Deceased, although born and brought up in the English church,
connected himself with the Presbyterian church at Tamworth and became one of
the most zealous and faithful workers in the Sunday School and Christian
Endeavor work of that church. He was a
good neighbor and citizen and will be much missed in Tamworth in social
events, church work and business affairs.
The funeral service was held in the Presbyterian church at Tamworth on
Tuesday afternoon and was very largely attended, many being unable to obtain
admittance to the sacred edifice. Rev.
M. Martin, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Hay of Cobourg, conducted the religious
services. The Workmen took charge of
the funeral, members of that order being present from Centreville, Yarker,
Camden East and Tweed. |

EMELINE REBECCA EMERSON - Whose
maiden name was Stigney, was born Sept. 19th, 1850, and was
married to Samuel G. Emerson, Dec., 21st, 1869, and entered into
rest Nov. 10th 1885. She
was converted in early childhood, and being faithfully and scripturally
nurtured in the doctrine of Christ, at home, she grew to womanhood, and at
the same time perceptibly manifesting the various fruits of the Spirit in her
daily life. When she entered the
marriage relation she carried into her new and happy home a well matured and
happy experience and a well established religious character. Solomon’s description of a devoted wife and
mother was clearly met in her. “The
heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need
of spoil. She layeth her hands to the
spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth
her.” Hers was, because a religious, a
truly happy home, husband and wife unitedly finding a daily satisfaction and
prosperity in the service of Christ.
But, oh! how short lived is every earthly bliss. Four years ago that insidious disease
consumption gave evidence of its presence in her system. It baffled all attempts at removal. All that love could devise and the skill of
physicians could do were unavailing.
But death had no terrors for her.
To the question of Rev. Joseph Young, “Dear sister, have you any fears
as to your preparation for heaven,” she answered distinctly, “Not in the
least,” and was not, for Christ took her.
Brothers, sisters, and parents, and a devoted husband, and five
children mourn for her, but not as those who have “no hope.” She died at the family residence,
“Woodside”, College Hill, Belleville. [signed] H. Williams. |

We regret to have to announce the
death of John Henry Evans, Esq., the hardware merchant, which took place at
his residence in Ontario Avenue Sunday night about a quarter to twelve. Mr. Evans’ death was quite sudden; he was
in good health, and had passed a more than usually pleasant Sabbath. He had been to church during the day;
passed an hour or two in the evening with a number of friends at his
residence, and retire to rest in good health.
Shortly after retiring, the attention of Mrs. Evans was attracted by
her husband’s peculiar heavy breathing, and as he did not answer her, she
became alarmed, and Dr. Reddy was sent for, but it was too late. It was found that Mr. Evans died from heart
disease. He had been nearly thirty
years engaged in the hardware trade; and while successful in building up an
extensive business, won the respect and esteem of all who knew him in private

Mary Ann, relict of the late William

daughter of Nicholas Amey, and died at her home in Camden, October 5, 1900.
On the following Sabbath, October 7, a large concourse of sympathetic friends
followed her remains to Camden East Church, where the writer preached an
appropriate funeral sermon from “thine eye shall see the King in his beauty.”
She was married by the Rev. E.M. Ryerson on February 25, 1845 and at once
moved to the township of Camden, where, by industry and frugality, they
succeeded, as few do, in material things. Her conversion took place June 20
1855, she being led to Christ through his Word, “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved.” She and her husband at once joined the
Methodist Church. Their home was always open to the weary itinerant, who
found comfort, recognition and sympathy. Her last illness was of only two
weeks’ duration. After calling her two sons and four daughters to her side,
she asked them all to pray, which they did and then said she, my parting word
is, “Keep up your family altar.” My colleague, Bro. Snell, and I visited her
frequently and found her calmly trusting in the finished work of her
Saviour. J.E. Moore.

Exley,
Walter |
County Clerk-Treasurer Walter Exley
Died Friday When Car Hit Abutment - Funeral services were held in Grace
United church on Monday afternoon for Walter W. Exley, who died instantly
Friday when his automobile struck a cement abutment under a railway overpass
on the outskirts of Newburgh. Mr. Exley was clerk-treasurer of
Lennox and Addington county for the past eight years and a well-known and
popular man in the county. He was 51
years of age. Every seat was taken and extras were
brought in for the funeral service conducted by the minister, Rev. W.B.
Thorneloe. Following the service, the
body was sent to Toronto for cremation and interment will take place on
Wednesday at Riverside cemetery. Pall-bearers for the service were
officers in the Hastings and Prince Edward regiment with which Mr. Exley
served overseas with distinction in World War II. Honorary pall-bearers, were former
county wardens F. Erwell Huff, Edward Morley, Nelson Kennedy and T. J.
Dowling; Reeve Lorne Smart and Lt. Col. H. L. Babcock. Warden Clarence Hanna was unable to
attend the service having been called to Utica, NY, to attend the funeral of
a close relative of Mrs. Hanna’s who died in that state. Prior to the service at Grace Church,
a short service was held at the Tierney Funeral Home. The accident occurred when the
clerk-treasurer’s car hit the abutment with tremendous impact. He had been returning to Napanee after
paying a call at the home of Reeve Nelson Kennedy near Enterprise. The sun was setting at the time and police
believe he may have been blinded by it shining directly into his eyes. Police and others spent
three-quarters of an hour attempting to remove his body from the crushed
wreckage. The destroyed automobile
collapsed with the front pushed to the rear and the overall length no more
than eight feet. OPP Constable Ian Brodie was at the
scene within a few seconds after the crash.
He was off duty and eastbound on the county road. Mr. Exley was named county treasurer
in 1945 after a distinguished war service in Italy and Western Europe with
the Hasty-Pees, from which he was demobilized with the rank of captain. He was appointed clerk as well on the
retirement of Wilfrid S. Wilson as county clerk. His widow, the former Dorothy Card is
a member of a well-known Napanee family.
He also leaves three children, David, who serves with the RCMP at
Regina, Nancy and Jane at home attending school. He was a sailing enthusiast and great
fisherman from his cottage on the River Road.
He was a member of the Napanee Legion and of Grace United Church and
had a wide circle of friends. Also left to mourn his loss are his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Exley, life-long residents of Napanee; two sisters, Mrs. Jack Caldwell (Vivian),
RR 5 Napanee, and Mrs. G. C. Howitt, (Marian), of Toronto and a brother,
Douglas, a school principal at Fort William. A special service was held for Mr.
Exley on Sunday evening at the Tierney Funeral Home. |

Fairbairn, Wm. |
WM. FAIRBAIRN - The subject of this
sketch and one of the pioneers of the Township of Richmond, was born in the
city of Glasgow, Scotland, in the year 1817 and died December 21st,
1912, at the advanced age of 95 years.
When but a lad of 10 years of age, he emigrated with his parents to
Canada, settling first at ByTown, now the City of Ottawa. After two years stay at the latter place,
the family came to the Township of Richmond and settled on the farm in the
Eighth concession where he continued to reside for upwards of eighty-two
years. He saw the Township and county
in its primitive state, and it was interesting to listen to him relate his
experiences of those early days. Mr. Fairbairn
was a man of sterling character and uprightness of life, somewhat retiring in
his disposition, he made no enemies, but won to himself a host of
friends. To know him was to love him,
and when owing to his experience his advice was often sought. It was given with a candor and frankness
characteristic of the Christian gentleman that he was. In 1844 he was united in marriage to
Catharine Morgan who proved to be a true helpmate during their long and
eventful wedded life. They had the joy
of seeing a large family of eight daughters and three sons grow to manhood
and womanhood. All are still living
with the exception of one daughter, Mrs. John Miller, who died three years
ago. While Mr. Fairbairn was a very
active man and disposed to look on the bright side of life, the death of his
beloved companion seven years ago, seemed to bear heavily on him, and often
would he be heard giving expression to his loneliness, which home comfort and
kind attention failed to supply. His
last illness was of short duration and throughout it all he bore his
suffering with Christian fortitude and courage, leaving behind him the legacy
of a beautiful Christian character and
life. Dying in the triumphs of Faith,
he could well say, “for me to live is Christ, but to die is gain.” May he rest in peace. The funeral service was held in the
Methodist Church, Selby, and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Sharpe,
assisted by Rev. W. H. Down and Rev. C. W. DeMille. The remains were placed in the vault
to be later interred in the
Camden 5th Presbyterian
cemetery, there to await the resurrection of the Just. |

MISS HELEN FAIRFIELD – After a long
and trying illness, borne with cheerful courage, this respected lady passed
away at her late residence, “Hillside”, the home of her late sister, Mrs.
Duncan Macdougall. Miss Fairfield was
the daughter of the late Dr. James Fairfield, a cousin of the late Judge
Fairfield, and of the late Mrs. Walter Ross of Picton. Miss Fairfield was the last of five sisters
– Mrs. Macdougall, Mrs. (Judge) Fitzgerald, Mrs. (Capt.) E. B. Smith, Mrs.
John W. Langmuir and herself; all celebrated
in their youth for their brilliant wit, intelligence and beauty. There was
one brother, James Fairfield, a lawyer, who died comparatively early in
life. Miss Fairfield was active in all
benevolent, and good works in her youth, and though for many years, a
complete invalid, her interest and practical assistance was always ready and
cheerfully given to the last. It is
pleasant to know that one so helpful and so generous with her aid, was
surrounded to the end of her long life by the tender care and devoted
affection of her two nieces, Mrs. Gregory Dougall and Miss Macdougall of
“Hillside”. The funeral was held by
the Rev. Mr. Barber on Thursday afternoon, the 6th of June. |

Fairfield, Herman |
Obituary of the Late Herman Fairfield
of Ernesttown at a Ripe Old Age Mr. Herman Fairfield, father of
Colonel Stephen Fairfield died Wednesday morning at his son’s residence on
the Bath Road, Township of Ernesttown. The old gentleman was over 86 years of
age, having been born in the house in which he died, in December, 1804, and
had retained his faculties and much of his activity until a few days ago when
he received a bad fall which accelerated his death. The deceased gentleman’s
grandfather, Stephen Fairfield, was one of the original U.E. Loyalist
settlers of Ernesttown, the land which the Fairfields still hold having been
granted to him by George III. The name of the maternal grandmother of the
late Mr. Fairfield was Mary Pruyne and she was of the same loyal stock who
rather than consent to the dismemberment of the empire left their possessions
in the States and sought new homes in the wilds of Canada. The Pruynes, of
Napanee and Picton are descended from Mary Pruyne’s brothers and are
consequently related to the deceased and to his family. Mr. Fairfield had
indistinct recollections of the campaigns of 1812-15 being only a boy at the
time. His recollections of the rebellion were, however, clear to the last and
he had a veritable treasure of stories of that stirring time. During the
troubles of the time, Mr. Fairfield served as a dragon, a company of whom
were stationed at the Fairfield house for some time. He was a Conservative
all his life and a staunch supporter and admirer of Sir John A. Macdonald
whose death so shortly preceeded his own. By Mr. Fairfield’s death one of the
land marks of Ernesttown is removed to the regret of all who knew the old
man’s genial and sociable disposition.

Fear, Anne |
FEAR - On the 5th inst., at
Elora, Ann, beloved wife of Rev. Samuel Fear, aged 75 years, in the joyful
hope of a glorious resurrection. She
was a native of England and sister of James Hough, Esq., Deputy Clerk of the
Crown, Guelph. Beloved wife of the Rev. Samuel Fear,
of Elora, was a native of England, and was born in the village of Beeson,
Northamptonshire. From a child she
knew the Scriptures, and became in early life truly pious. She was converted before reaching her tenth
year, and united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and continued a
consistent and useful member of it till called to join the general assembly
in heaven. Having entered into the
liberty of the children of God, she sought in all things to please him. She devoted much time to the prayerful
perusal of his Holy Word, hiding it in her heart that she might not sin
against him. She found it to be “a
lamp unto her feet and a light unto her paths.” She loved the poetry of the Wesleys. Her quotations from their hymns in relating
her experience were varied and apposite.
For the class-meeting she had an unchanging affection and delighted
greatly in that form of Christian fellowship.
It is not known that in any instance she wilfully neglected either
that service or any of the public means of grace. She was strongly attached to the cause of
Christ. She was a woman of superior
mind, sound sense, conscientious principle, a cheerful temperament, and
fervid feeling were the leading features of her social and Christian
character. Her Christian experience
was very instructive and edifying, and always expressed in clear Scriptural
and Wesleyan phraseology. Her
attachment to Methodism was strong and constant. It was the Church of her early choice, and
her love for it increased with her years.
She embraced it’s teaching because she believed it to be truth, and
she adhered to it because she knew it’s blessedness. Through several weeks of much suffering she
was never heard to utter an impatient word.
Knowing “Him that is from the beginning,” her confidence in God was
unshaken amid her extreme weakness. She exercised a firm and cheerful
reliance on the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ; hence her
complete deliverance from the fear of death.
Though her suffering abounded, her consolations also abounded by
Christ. In her, patience had its
perfect work. She was a faithful and
loving wife, a kind friend, an upright and sincere Christian. During the progress of the revival services
in Elora in the winter of 1884-5, she received, in answer to earnest and
believing prayer, a rich baptism of God’s grace and spirit. As her physical strength declined, her
spiritual strength was renewed day by day.
Through grace she triumphed over the last enemy, and passed peacefully
away to be with Jesus. To her to live
was Christ, and to die was gain.

Accidental Death - At Ernest Town,
Clary Fellows, youngest daughter of Nathan and Mary Fellows aged 6 years and
14 days. This melancholy accident was
occasioned by the fall of a large double gate frame, belonging to Mr. Wm.
Hogle, Innkeeper, at a few rods distance from the subscribers. Being informed that some of the
public have censured Mr. Hogle for the insecure manner in which his gates
were erected, I am willing to say that, let their erection be as it may, I do
not wish to censure in the least degree. The inexperience of Mr. Hogle, as to
the safe construction of such things, and those that assisted in moving his
gate - not saying any thing as to its being unsafe, ought to be taken by
every candid person as a reasonable excuse, without casting the least
reflection, although we must acknowledge, when too late, that it was not
secured in a proper manner. But there can be no reason to believe for a
moment that Mr. Hogle had any idea of it not being safe, as himself, wife,
and little ones were daily exposed to its fall. I feel without censure to any
person, that it was the providential lot of my child there to get her
discharge from a world of sorrow, and no doubt, to wing her way to a world of
bliss, and I humbly hope it will prove a warning to me, and to all who hear
of it, to prepare to follow her to a world of spirits, Nathan Fellows, Ernest Town, 29th,

Fredericksburgh Passes to Rest Napanee, Nov. 4 – William Fenwick,
North Fredericksburgh, died at his home on Oct. 31st after a
stroke of paralysis which he suffered Friday evening, without regaining
consciousness. He resided at his late home for twenty years, retiring from
farm life at that time. He was an active worker and took great pride in his
garden, which was one of the most beautiful in this locality. Mr. Fenwick
always spaded his garden, which consisted of one acre, following the method
of the old country, as he was born in Scotland eighty-one years ago. He came
to this country in early manhood to occupy a position in the paper mills at
Strathcona. After a number of years, he took up farming. The deceased was a
Presbyterian in religion, also a Mason and a follower of the Liberal policy.
He had a very clear memory of times and happening in the fifties. The evening he took the fatal stroke
he walked all around his garden, ate a hearty dinner and recited one of
Robert Burn’s poems, “Why Man Was Made to Mourn.” He will be greatly missed
by his friends and neighbors as he was always ready to chat and joke, and
give sound advice to all. He leaves a widow at home, one sister and two
brothers in Scotland. The remains were laid to rest in River View cemetery at
Napanee.

William S. Fenwick The sad news of the death of William
S. Fenwick of Enterprise came as a shock to his many friends on Tuesday,
April 26th. Deceased had
not been in his usual good health for a number of years, being a sufferer
from heart trouble. The Friday previous, Mr. Fenwick was his usual amiable
self, and it was not thought that he would be called away so soon. Deceased came to Enterprise fifty two years
ago, where he embarked in the lumber and grist mill business in which
vocation he was very successful and was ably assisted in his later years by
his three sons. He was a member of St. John’s Anglican Church and for many
years served as Warden. Mrs. Fenwick
predeceased him ten years ago. The
funeral service was held at his late residence on Thursday morning, April 28th,
and was conducted by his pastor Rev. R. A. Penney, and his fellow members of
the Masonic Order. Interment was made
in the family plot at Tamworth. Many
beautiful floral offerings attested to the high esteem in which the late
gentleman was held. Those remaining to

Ferguson, Ann (nee Devitt) |
FERGUSON - Mrs. Joshua Ferguson, nee
Ann Devitt, died on Nov. 1st, 1907, after a lingering
illness. The deceased was born in
Ireland, coming in youth to Canada, her father settling first near Kingston,
then in West Gwillimsbury. She and her
expected husband came to Cartwright in 1847, and have resided on the same
farm ever since. She was a loving
wife, an affectionate mother, a faithful friend and kind neighbor. She lived respected, and died
regretted. She was a life-long
Christian, and member of our beloved Methodism. She was indeed “a mother in Israel.” In her last illness she longed to depart
this life, and God saw fit to grant her request. She had the abiding consciousness of the
Master’s presence right to the very end.
Besides an aged and sorrowing husband, a family of five sons and two
daughters mourn a dear one beloved.
Two of her sons, Revs. J. J. Ferguson, B.A., B.D., and H.T. Ferguson,
B.A., B.D., are honoured ministers in the Toronto Conference. The funeral service was conducted at the home
by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Prof. Bowles, of Victoria University, and the
remains laid to rest in the Cadmus Cemetery to await the resurrection of the
just. R. A. Delve. |

E.S. File, Pioneer Farmer Dies in
89th Year. Mr. Edwin Stanley File, the last of a
pioneer family of the Napanee district, died early Saturday morning, at his
home in North Fredericksburgh, a few
miles from Napanee. The death of Mr. File, who was in his 89th year, was due
to the infirmities of old age. He was the youngest of a family of
nine, the children of the late John M. File and Catherine Madden. He was born
and lived all his lifetime on the farm on which he died. His father settled
on the place many years ago, when the country was a dense tract of forest,
and his son, Edwin, is the third generation to carry on farming on the same
land. The late Mr. File was born on May
11th 1849, and on December 15th, 1875, married Georgina Gratia Long, a member
of another of the country's pioneer families. Mrs. File died in November,
1835, just a few weeks prior to the time when she and her husband could have
celebrated the 60th anniversary of their marriage. Mr. and Mrs. File, in their younger
days, were both active members of Trinity United Church. Their parents were
among the original members of the church and were among those who were
responsible for the building of the first church on the site on which the
present Trinity Church now stands. Mr. File is survived by six children,
Walter in Richmond Township, Herbert in Napanee, Earl in Montreal, Edwin on
the homestead, Edna (Mrs. Keyes) in Sharbot Lake, and Miss Lillian, a member
of the staff of Sudbury Technical School. His funeral was conducted at his late
residence on Monday afternoon, by Rev. Harold E. Wellwood, Minister of

Strathcona Lady Dies on Saturday NAPANEE, Feb. 28 - The death occurred
early Saturday morning of one of the most highly esteemed residents of
Strathcona, five miles eat of Napanee in the person of Mrs. W. J. Findlay, in
her 77th year. About three weeks ago Mrs. Findlay
sustained a fall which resulted in a broken hip and since that time her
condition had grown worse. For two or
three days preceding her death her condition was very critical. She was a native of the Napanee
district and before her marriage was Miss Martha Rook, daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. George Rook. With the
exception of a few years spent in Valleyfield, Que., her married life had
been spent in Strathcona where her husband for a long period of years has
been proprietor of the well known paper mills, which is one of the busiest
industries in this county. A devout Christian, Mrs. Findlay took
a keen interest in the work of the church, and was particularly interested in
the Women’s Missionary Society. She
was a life-long member of the Methodist (now United) Church. She was also greatly interested in the work
of temperance. In her passing the village of
Strathcona has lost one of its most estimable and beloved residents. A sister predeceased her several years ago. Besides her husband who has not been
in the best of health for some time she leaves two sons George and Bruce
Findlay who reside in Strathcona, and who are connected with the Paper Mills,
a daughter, Mrs. Best in Strathcona and a daughter, Mrs. Johnston in
Toronto. An only sister, Mrs. George

Finkle, R.R. |
The Late R.R. Finkle An Aged and Respected Resident of
Bath The death of R.R. Finkle removes an
old and respected citizen of Bath. For years, the deceased had been a great
sufferer. All that medical skill and loving care could do was done to
alleviate his pain and stay the progress of the disease, but without avail.
He daily grew worse and on the first morning of this holy season he quietly
sank to rest. Mr. Finkle was of United Empire
Loyalist parentage, his grandparents being one of the first families to land
in this locality, settling on the farm on which the deceased was born on 29th
May, 1830. Mr. Finkle was fond of telling tales of the early experiences of
the United Empire Loyalists, heard from his grandparents, and could indicate
places, now marked only by a ruined foundation, where many a humble shelter
had been erected by his grandfather for the accommodation of the newly
arrived U.E.L. friend and family, at the place long known as Finkle’s Point,
and owned by him at the time of his death. Deceased was a cousin of the
Gildersleeve family, and was well and favorably known by the steamboat
companies and officers, having been for over thirty years the owner of the
wharf and warehouses at Bath. He took an active interest in public affairs,
and in the welfare of his own village and its school, serving on the council
and the board of education for many years. He acted as agent for various loan
companies, and was bailiff of the division court of this district. He was of
a charitable disposition, no appeal from the needy was left unanswered, help
was cheerfully given. Mr. Finkle was married in Trinity
church, Watertown, N.Y., on October 26th, 1856 to Miss Elizabeth, daughter
of the late Rev. John Morse, of Bradenstroke, near Salisbury, Eng., who
survives him, and during his long illness ministered to his comfort night and
day. Their only daughter died in infancy. The funeral was held in St. John’s
church of which the deceased had been a life-long member, and although the
morning was one of the stormiest seen this winter, friends attended from
Kingston, Newburgh, Napanee, Stella and Emerald, besides many from the vicinity,
showing the esteem in which the deceased was held.

DIED - At Adolphustown on Sunday, the
23d instant, Alexander Fisher, Esquire, Judge of the District Court for the
Midland District, aged 74. Altho’ Mr.
Fisher had nearly attained the period,
which the Royal Psalmist assigns as the life of man, and had for sometime
been in an infirm state of health;
yet we believe there are few whose death could cause more general
regret, or leave a greater blank in the social circle. While his integrity secured him the esteem
and respect of all who knew him, his kindness of disposition and unbounded
hospitality rendered him generally beloved.
His funeral took place at Adolphustown on Tuesday last, and was
attended by an immense concourse of people, not only from the neighbourhood
but from Kingston and other parts of the District. The gentlemen of the Bar by a spontaneous
feeling of regard for his memory, hastened from Kingston, Bath, Hallowell and
Bellville, to pay the last sad tribute to the remains of him, whose cheerful
and instructive conversation, as well as Highland welcome, must, by many of
them, be long and gratefully remembered. Died at Adolphustown on Sunday the
23d instant, Alexander Fisher, Esq. aged 74 years. Mr. Fisher was one of the
oldest and most respectable inhabitants of Upper Canada, and his death is
much regretted. The remains of the late Alexander
Fisher, Esquire, whose death is announced in another part of our paper, were
interred at Adolphustown yesterday at 4 o'clock. Not only the inhabitants of
the immediate neighborhood, but a great number of persons from Kingston,
Belleville, Bath, Hallowell, &c. attended the Funeral, thus evincing the
high respect they entertained for the character of the deceased.

Fleming,
Elizabeth (nee
Cullis) |
ELIZABETH FLEMING - Daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Cullis, of Manchester was trained in a good home, and enjoyed the
benefit in early life of a pious mother’s example and prayers. During a revival service conducted by the
writer a few years ago in Manchester, she was savingly converted, of which
fact she gave evidence by devoting the remainder of her life to the service
of God. In the February of 1879 she
was united in marriage to Bro. H. R. Fleming, her now painfully bereaved
husband. In the fall of 1882, they
removed to Manitoba, but the cold of the North-West proved too severe for her
constitution, her lungs became seriously affected, and in hopes of recovering
her health she came home but, alas, it was to die. The seeds of consumption had entered her
constitution, and baffled all medical skill to eradicate them. I saw her several times during her illness,
and ever found her patient, resigned and cheerful. She had built her spiritual house upon the
Rock of Ages, too high for the waves of affliction to sweep it away, too
strong for the winds of adversity to overturn it. As the last moments of life approached she
appeared to gather strength and courage for the last conflict, and finally
overcame through the blood of the Lamb.
Her funeral sermon was preached in Manchester to a large and
sympathizing congregation, from Rev. xxii.5.
O may her sorrowing husband, dear child, and the members of her family
meet her finally in heaven. She died

The Late Howard Folger – Sudden
Passing of a Well-Known Citizen – Was Stricken With Hemmorhage of the Brain
Wednesday Evening and Died at 11 a.m. Thursday. Citizens were shocked at noon
Thursday when it was learned that Howard S. Folger, one of Kingston’s most
prominent business men had died at his home on Emily Street. Mr. Folger was around as usual on
Wednesday, but was stricken early in the evening at his home with a
hemmorhage of the brain. Death ensued
at 11:20 a.m. Thursday. The late Mr.
Folger was born in Kingston fifty-three years ago, the son of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Folger. He was educated
in the local schools and in 1887 graduated at Queen’s University as bachelor
of arts. Mr. Folger entered the
steamboat business at an early age under his father and uncles, known to the
older residents as “The famous Folger Brothers”., who did big things for
Kingston during the eighties and nineties.
Howard Folger eventually became general manager of the Thousand Island
Steamboat company, and filled that position until the steamers of the company
were purchased by another concern, and finally became a part of the fleet of
the Canada Steamships Limited. For
some years past, Mr. Folger had been one of Kingston’s leading stock brokers,
his office being in the British American block. On the death of his father he succeeded him
as United States vice-consul at Kingston.
Mr. Folger married Miss Price, daughter of the late Judge C.V. Price,
of this city, who survives along with one son, Howard, a recent arts graduate
of Queen’s university, and two daughters, misses Gwendolyn and Doris, all at
home. He is also survived by two
brothers, Harry and Benjamin, of New York.
Collamer Folger, general manager of the Kingston Public Utilities is a
cousin. The late Mr. Folger was a
member of St. George’s Cathedral congregation. The flag at the United States consulate on

Forester, Jane (nee Fralick) (formerly Keller) |
Obituary - Mrs. John Forester Mrs. John Forester, whose maiden name
was Jane Fralick was born in the Township of Fredericksburgh, on the 27th day
of December, 1849, and died at her home in the Village of Bath, on Wednesday
morning, December 7th, 1927, in the 77th year of her age. In early life, the deceased was
converted to God, identified herself with the Methodist Church, entered
heartily into its activities, and until her demise, remained faithful to all
its interests and services. She was kind, courteous, and unassuming, and much
beloved by all to whom she was known. At the age of 22 years she was united
in marriage to Mr. John Keller, of Morven, which union was blessed by two
children, namely Frank Keller, of Buffalo, N.Y., and Mary T. Keller, of
Guelph, Ont. On March 15th, 1884, having passed
through the sorrows of widowhood, she became the wife of Mr. John Forester,
of Bath, which union was also blessed by four daughters, namely Margaret, of
Niagara Falls; Edith of Edmonton; Mrs. Irene Stevenson, of Windsor, Ont., and
Mrs. Allison, of Adolphustown. For the past two years the deceased lady had
been filing in health, but until very recently, was able to be about her
wonted domestic duties, take part in some of the church activities, and never
failed to find her way to the house of God. On Saturday evening, November 19th,
she was taken suddenly ill, and although all was done that medical skill and
faithful nursing could devise, on the morning of December 7th, God touched
her and she fell asleep to awake on a fairer morning, and rise into the white
light of an endless day. Her passing was calm and beautiful, and no struggle
marked the wondrous change. The funeral service was conducted by her
Pastor, Rev. G.E. Ross, M.A., of Bath Pastoral Charge, and was held in the
United Church, of which deceased was a member. "We spend our years as a
tale that is told", were the beautiful words upon which the speaker
based his address; the music by the choir was also most fitting to the
occasion. After, the service the funeral cortege proceeded to the Morven
cemetery, where the remains were laid to slumber until the resurrection of
the Just, the following acting as pall-bearers; Messrs. John Creighton, G.A.
Wartman, Geo. Loyst, D. Robinson, J. Cuppage and A. Tompkins. The following remain and mourn the
departure of a loving wife and tender and devoted mother: Frank and Mary T.
Keller, Margaret and Edith Forester, Mrs. Irene Stevenson, and Mrs. Allison.
Those loved ones will ever twine their united sympathy with cords of tender
affection around a bereaved husband and father.

NURSING SISTER’S BURIAL – The late
Miss Forneri of Kingston Given Full Honors – Particulars have come to hand of
the funeral obsequies of the late Nursing Sister Agnes Florien Forneri, who
died in the Canadian Hospital, Bramshott, on the 24th April. Miss Forneri was buried with military
honors, every battalion in the camp being represented. The coffin was draped with the Union Jack
and was borne on a gun carriage, her hat resting on the top among the
flowers. The six officers who were
pallbearers, and the senior chaplain, Major Hepburn, followed. Then came the matron of the hospital and
the nurses and a large number of patients, her own and others, some of whom
could hardly walk, and who carried several lovely wreaths and other floral
tributes, among which was an enlarged maple leaf composed of white and yellow
flowers, given by “her boys” as a token of affection and esteem. The service (Anglican) was conducted by the
senior chaplain, the first part in the hospital and the remainder beside the
open grave in the nearby churchyard of Bramshott church, a beautiful burying
ground, which look more like a garden than a cemetery. There was a large firing party, and at the
end, “The Last Post” was sounded. All
was most beautiful and impressive, the band contributing its exquisite
strains to the pathetic and solemn effect, and then the burial. The spot in which Miss Forneri lies, with
another devoted sister, is in a special part of the cemetery which has been
set aside for Canadian soldiers. These
nursing sisters rest beside the men they served and for whom they gave their
best. And it is most fitting that our
dear Canadian sisters should be buried like soldiers and in a soldier’s
grave, for they are indeed as brave and true as any soldier and “faithful
unto death.” Nursing Sister Dead; Miss A.F.
Forneri About one year ago the Whig recorded
the death in action of Lieut. D.A. Forneri, of the 73rd Royal Highlanders of
Canada, son of the Rev. Canon Forneri, of this city, and now another member
of his family, his eldest daughter, Miss A.F. Forneri, has given her life in
her country's service. She left Canada for overseas on March 28th, 1917. On
arriving in England she was sent for a time on the nursing staff of the
Kitchener Memorial Hospital, Brighton. In July of the same year she crossed
to France, being detailed for duty at No. 8 Canadian General Hospital, St.
Cloud. In February last she was invalided to England but recovered
sufficiently to resume her duties in March, being attached to the Bramshott
Canadian Hospital. In April she suffered a relapse, under which she sand, and
on the 24th she passed away peacefully - Kingston Whig.

Forneri, Catharine (nee McDermot) |
Obituary - Catharine Forneri We are called upon to chronicle, this
week, an exceedingly sad death, one that has brought mourning not to one
household only, but to a whole parish, yea, and far beyond its limits.
Catharine Forneri, wife of the rector of Adolphustown, was on Wednesday last,
after a few days suffering from congestion of the lungs, called to that rest
which remaineth for the people of God in paradise, where she awaits in joyful
anticipation, the coming of that time, the first resurrection, when the dead
in Christ shall arise, and with their risen and glorified bodies be caught up
to meet the Lord in the air. Of her how truly it may be said, blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord, for they rest from their labor,. The deceased was
one of those modest, retiring persons, not easily known, but when known
beloved. She was cut off in her prime, having been born forty-four years ago
in Port Hope, the eldest child of Mr. McDermot, of that town, both parents
being now dead. She leaves a sister, wife of Rev. C.E. Sills of South Mountain,
and a brother, Mr. Geo N. McDermot, beside those of her own household, a
sorrowing husband and five children. From childhood she has not only lived a
most exemplary christian life, but has taken an active interest in church
work, as Sunday School teacher, organist, etc. She will be much missed from
the organ in St. Alban's church. The funeral took place on Friday last from
the rectory to St. Alban's U.E.L. Church and thence to the vault. The service
was conducted by Rev. Rural Dean Baker and Rev. Rural Dean Loucks.
Notwithstanding that the roads were almost impassable, the church was filled
to overflowing. Mrs. Forneri, wife of the Rev. Mr.
Forneri of Adolphustown, died on Wednesday 19th inst. Deceased will be remembered
to many of our citizens as Miss McDermott, sister of George McDermott.

Forneri, Constance |
Kingston, Ontario, Oct. 30 – The Rev.
Canon R. S. Forneri, an aged retired Anglican clergyman of Kingston has been
greatly bereaved. Last year his son,
Lieut A.D. Forneri, was killed inaction.
Last May his eldest daughter, a nursing sister with the Canadian
Forces, died overseas, and this morning his daughter, Miss Constance Forneri
passed away after a short illness of pneumonia. His only surviving daughter, Mrs. D.
Sobinson, is seriously ill in the General Hospital and the latter’s husband a
returned officer is also very ill. Miss Constance Forneri Only a few weeks ago, Miss Constance
Forneri, Albert street, youngest daughter of Rev. Canon Forneri, who had not
been feeling very well, only complaining of a severe cold, was taken ill and
was compelled to give up her work at Queen’s University and go home and go to
bed. Her illness rapidly developed into pneumonia and alter the patient’s
condition caused great anxiety. However, the skilled nursing of her sister,
Mrs. C. Robinson, brought such an improvement that hopes for recovery were
raised high and last week there was no thought of the sudden call, which came
at 3 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. Only last Sunday her sister, Mrs. C.
Robinson, was taken to the hospital suffering from influenza, where she is at
present. On Sunday, Miss Geen, of Belleville, a trained nurse, cousin of the
deceased, arrived and did all she could to relieve her suffering, but o no
avail. For the last four or five years she has been employed in Mr. G.Y.
Chown’s office, Queen’s University. She was the youngest daughter of Rev.
Canon Forneri, of this city and she is survived by her father, one son,
Raymond, of Montreal and one sister, Mrs. Capt. C. Robinson, of this city. On
April 24th, 1918, her sister, Agnes Florion, nursing sister,
C.A.M.C, died at the Military Hospital, Bramshott, England, and about one
year previous to this, her brother, Lieut. Alwyn Forneri, was killed in
action. The deceased was born in Adolphustown, where she will be buried. For
about twelve years she was a faithful member of St. Luke’s choir. She had a
sweet voice and for many years had used it in the praises of the church on
earth, and it is only possible to think of her as now joining happily in the
songs of the church in Paradise. Her funeral, which will be of a
private nature, will take place to St. James church on Thursday morning at 9
o’clock and from thence it will be taken to Adolphustown where it will be
placed in the family plot. Much sympathy is extended to Rev. Canon Forneri
and family in their sad bereavement. The Lord Bishop of Ontario and the
Rev. T.W. Savary will officiate at the funeral service. The following will be
the honorary pall-bearers; Rev. Dr. D. Ross, Rural Dean J.O. Crisp, Rev. J.W.

JAMES FOSTER - When an aged Christian passes away, who has
been for sixty-six years a member of the Methodist Church, and who during all
that time has worn “the white flower of a blameless life,” it is fitting that a brief record of his
history should be given. the late
James Foster was one of Toronto’s oldest and best known citizens. He was widely esteemed for his honorable
and upright life, his sterling integrity of character and stainless
name. He was one of the oldest members
of the Methodist denomination in the city, and one of the very few who had
taken the GUARDIAN for a period of fifty-five years. The deceased was born in 1803, near that
fine old sea-port of Ireland, Sligo, where his friends were for many years
connected with the shipping trade. His
father dying before he could remember, he was brought up by his grandfather -
a man of high moral character, much common sense, and considerable ability as
a writer. When about sixteen years of
age, casually going with some boys to a Methodist service, he was
converted. To the great grief of his
friends, who were very strict adherents of the English Church, and who
regarded Methodism as quite beyond the
pale of the true Church, he, though so young, and notwithstanding all their
efforts to induce him to change his mind, and knowing full well that it would
be to his worldly disadvantage, was loyal and true to his convictions, and
soon after joined the Methodist Church, and remained till his death (for 66
years) a consistent and faithful member of the same. With his warm and ardent Irish temperament,
he threw himself, heart and soul, into church work. He was sent miles and miles into the
surrounding districts to hold prayer-meetings, lead classes, and (as he had a
beautiful voice) to sing at Methodist services. He here learned to speak and read the Irish
language, that he might go to the Sligo jails, on Sunday afternoons, and read
the bible to the prisoners with the magic spell which the very sound of their
own tongue exerted upon them. This
Irish Bible, so loved by him for its early associations - yellow, old and
coverless - after all the vicissitudes of over half a century, is in
possession of his family, and much prized by them. With every religious awakening comes also
an intellectual quickening. The young
Irish convert organized a literary society for mutual improvement. Several of its members afterward attained
eminence. Among them, William Graham
Campbell, the celebrated Irish missionary, and John Bensen, afterwards
knighted by the Queen for his designs for the Industrial Crystal Palace,
Dublin. In his diary are many
allusions to Gideon Ouseley, the Irish evangelist - to his appearance, his
manner of working among the people, and what Ouseley said to him. As a boy, beginning to work for Christ, on
one occasion Mr. Foster, with other young men of the church, went with
Ouseley to sing - to the very door of one of the beautiful old abbeys of
Sligo, when the congregation was coming out from mass. Ouseley, getting up on a chair, poured
forth, with all the magic spell of their own language, in such burning
eloquence as compelled them to stop and listen. The priest, coming out, ordered them to
move on. Seeing their reluctance he
disappeared and returned in a few moments with a long whip, which he cracked
over their shoulders, right and left, among the crowd till he dispersed
them. But Ouseley kept his place, and,
in the very face of the priest, told them not to be afraid of the man, but of
God only. On his grandfather’s death,
Mr. Foster decided to seek his fortune in the New World. After spending some time in Quebec and
Montreal, he decided to settle in Toronto (then “Little York”) in the year
1832. He at once connected himself
with the Church of his choice, and here as in the old land his sole aim has
been to do all he could to help his Master’s work, and whether as
Sabbath-school teacher, superintendent, class-leader, Conference delegate, or
in any other capacity working for the Church, was always loyal and true to
what he considered its best interests.
In those troublous days, when Church and State were being gradually
separated, he took a most active part in all the semi-religious, political
warfare of the time, and wielding a most vigorous pen, contributed a series
of articles - said at the time of their publishing to be most powerfully
written - in opposition to the late Bishop Strachan, on the “Clergy Reserve
Question.” He took an active interest
in public affairs, and numbered among his warmest friends the late Hon.
Robert Baldwin, Dr. Rolph, and Sir Francis Hincks. He was for many years a director of the
Upper Canada Bible Society, and of the House of Industry. He was a member of the York Pioneers and of
the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, and held the oldest commission as a
Justice of the Peace in the Province of Ontario. Personally, he was genuine and true as a
friend; most tender-hearted and exceedingly fond of his own home and family,
but hospitable to a degree; unselfish
and retiring in his disposition, but, withal, of great force of
character; independent and
high-minded, formed his own opinions and then held them firm when once his
mind was made up as to what he considered the right course to be
pursued. His old age was hale and
hearty, for his life had been strictly temperate. He was till within a few weeks of his death
invariably in his place in church. His
diary records that for thirty years he never missed a single serve. During his last brief illness he sank into
a state of unconsciousness, which prevented the utterance of any last words
expressive of his faith and trust in the unfailing promises. Nor was there need. His life record was the noblest testimony
to his Christian character, his unswerving integrity, his steadfast piety. He rests from his labors and his works do
follow him. He died January 22nd,
1887, aged eighty-four years. Devout
men carried him to his burial, and mourned their loss which is his infinite
and eternal gain. |

MRS. FOWLER – was George Helena
Herring, youngest daughter of the late George Herring and was united to Mr.
Lawrence Fowler four years ago in
October, when as a bride she left for her new home amidst all the joy
and happiness of such partings. The
remains were brought to Napanee on Monday evening and at 2 o’clock next day
the funeral service was held in St. Mary Magdalene church, the beautiful
edifice being filled by friends desirous of paying a last tribute to one
beloved by all. Deceased died very
suddenly after giving birth to a child.
Her bereaved mother was at her bedside, but neither she, the
physician, or her husband, had the slightest hint that any serious
complication had set in, and she passed away within an hour. Mrs. Fowler was one of our most popular
young ladies while a resident of Napanee, and was possessed of a singularly
sweet and bright disposition, which endeared her to all. Besides her afflicted husband and mother,
she leaves two daughters, the oldest scarcely two years, and three sisters,
Mrs. Dr. Ward, Mrs. J. W. Robinson, and Miss Nellie Herring, and a half
sister, Miss Freda Holmes, also, a brother, Mr. Jack Herring, and half
brother, Alfred Holmes. The remains
were brought to Napanee on Monday evening.
Mrs. Holmes, Mr. Fowler and his brother-in-law, Mr. E. Dimmeck,
accompanying them in her new home, the brightness of her disposition and
unselfish nature made it an ideal one, and she was beloved by all who came
under her gentle influence. The
handsome casket was ladened with beautiful wreaths and flowers from friends
far and near. The remains were laid in
the family plot in the Eastern cemetery.
Capt. And Mrs. Holmes and family have the sympathy of their many

Elizabeth Fralick Whose maiden name was Vanluven, was
born in 1806. She was one of ten children, all of whom save one – Henry, now
ninety-five years of age – had passed on before. She was married to Peter S.
Fralick in 1826 and has lived in Ernestown ever since. In early life she
worshipped with the Lutherans, bur for thirty-six years past she has been a
Methodist. Her piety was not of the gloomy type, for being of a cheerful
disposition and a good singer, she was generally cheerful and happy. In the spring of 1888 she had a
stroke, since which time she has been an invalid, but she has been happy and
contented, waiting patiently for what has taken place. She was not taken at
unawares; she was expecting it and whether at cock-crowing or in the morning,
she was ready. The summons came at last, and she has been called home. There
are no last words or wishes to record, for since she was seized the hand of
death was upon her and she was oblivious to all earthly things; but we fear
not, her record is on high. She had received Christ Jesus the Lord and had
walked in him these many years, so that death to her was a transition. She leaves to her nine children the
heritage of a Christian example, a holy life and a mother’s prayers. May this
event mark the commencement of increased faithfulness and usefulness in the
case of each one; and when to either or all of them the summons comes, may
they meet father and mother in heave. She died October 19th, 1889
and was buried at the White Church, Morven.

In Memoriam - The Late James Fralick Napanee Express On Saturday the citizens of Napanee
received another shock when informed of the sudden death of James W. Fralick.
He had not been in good health during the summer; and has on several
occasions complained of feeling unwell. Some two weeks ago he purchased some
cattle from a man in Camden and went last Tuesday to bring them home. On his
return he was caught in the heavy rain which fell on that day, from the
effects of which he took cold. He recovered and was around again with his
usual energy. On Saturday last he was engaged in drawing in wheat and a
shower coming up work ceased and Mr. Fralick again complained of not feeling
well and said he would go to the house and lie down for a while. He went
upstairs unnoticed by Mrs. Fralick, who was working at the front of the
house. He entered one of the rooms and closing the door threw himself on the
bed, and expired in a few minutes. Mack, who was in town delivering milk,
upon his return home made enquiries for his father, and learned from the men
that he had gone to the house to lie down. Mack went upstairs and found one
of the doors fastened, caused by the fastener falling when the door was
pushed to. He forced the door open and found his father lying dead on the
bed. Without saying a word he left the room, closed the door and came down
stairs and went and brought in some of the neighbors before breaking the sad
news to his mother. It was a severe shock to her and she became prostrate
with grief. A physician was immediately summoned, and after examination said
that deceased had been dead about an hour and a half before being found. Mr.
Fralick was born at Morven, in the township of Ernesttown, on May 3rd, 1832,
being a son of the late Peter S. Fralick. He was the eldest of a family of
nine children, four boys and five girls, among whom are H.V. Fralick of
Fralick & Crouch, and E.M. Fralick, of this town. He was married to Miss
Elida Huffman, daughter of Mr. Mac Huffman, near Bath. They lived at the old
homestead for some time and then moved to Switzerville, where they resided
for four years. Mr. Fralick then purchased the place on the Kingston road,
where he moved to, and where he resided up to the time of his death. There
was a family of eight children, five of whom are living. Mr. Fralick was well
and favorably known throughout the entire county, and was held in the highest
respect. His funeral, which took place on Monday last, was a very large one,
the procession being a mile in length. The remains were interred at Morven.

MRS. G.E. FRASER – Death came with
unexpected suddenness to the home of Mr. I. Frith Fraser on Wednesday morning
when his mother, Mrs. G. E. Fraser passed away in her 74th
year. Mrs. Fraser had not been well
for some time and during recent weeks her condition had become somewhat
serious. The day previous to her death
she was able to sit up, but on Wednesday morning death came due to heart
failure. Mrs. Fraser’s name was Emma
Gertrude Noxon. Her early home was in the Fish Lake neighborhood of the
Township of Sophiasburgh, where her father resided for many years. She was the youngest daughter of Isaac D.
Noxon and Janet Demorest, both of whom belonged to old and well known Prince
Edward County families. Mrs. Fraser’s
parents moved to New York State several years ago and both are now
deceased. Her father was a man of more
than usual ability, and was a frequent contributor to the local press on
matters of public interest. Her mother
died only a few years ago at the advanced age of one hundred years. One brother, Mr. George Noxon of Florida
survives. Three brothers, Isaac J.
Noxon, Davis Noxon and Grant Noxon, and two sisters, Mrs. Lambert and Mrs.
Bradner are deceased. Mrs. Fraser has
been a resident of Picton for many years.
Her husband, the late G. E. Fraser, was the founder of the Fraser
Store of Picton. Since his death the business has been managed by his son,
Mr. I. Frith Fraser. A family of four
children survive. They are: Mrs. McGowan of Paos, New Mexico; Walter S.
Fraser of LaPorte Indiana; George E. Fraser of Montreal, and I. Frith Fraser
of Picton. A step-daughter, Mrs. J. J.
Kerr of Toronto, also survives. Mrs.
McGowan was with her mother for some weeks before her death. The deceased will be greatly missed among
her friends in Picton. She was a woman
of more than usual ability and had for many years been an active worker in
church and Sunday School. During
recent years she had greatly enjoyed visiting among her children at their
homes, widely separated though they were, and last fall returned from an
extended stay with them. She is indeed
one of those whose memory will ever be blest by all who had the privilege of
knowing her. The funeral services will
be held at her late residence, Queen St. on Friday afternoon at 3:30
p.m. Rev. Alfred Brown
officiating. Interment in Glenwood

Death at Picton - The late George E.
Fraser - A Leading Merchant
On Monday, after an illness extending over several months, George E.
Fraser, the founder and proprietor of the Manchester house, Picton, breathed
his last. Although for the past half dozen years Mr. Fraser had not enjoyed
robust health that fact was known to but comparatively few, and when the end
came many citizens were taken by surprise.
Mr. Fraser was a native of the township of Ernesttown, born in 1837.
He was a son of Capt. Daniel Fraser, one of the earliest settlers and a
staunch united empire loyalist. Capt. Fraser's grandfather was a Scottish
colonel in Wolfe's army and took part in the battle of the Plains of Abraham. Early in life deceased entered the
teaching profession and taught successfully at Norwood and Frankford. In 1864
he entered upon his mercantile career at Frankford, and there achieved a
gratifying success. In 1870 he transferred his business to Picton. In a
couple of years he took possession of the two splendid stores which he has
since occupied and in which he has done so large and ever increasing a
business.
Mr. Fraser was a complete master of his calling. He knew the details
of his business from top to bottom. He was a good salesman and careful buyer.
He stuck to his business and left politics, municipal affairs, and such like
diversions to those who seem to have a
penchant for that sort of thing. And all the while he was a strong
conservative.
The deceased has three sisters and one brother surviving him. He was
married twice; first to Julia Powell, of Powell's Mills, by whom he had two
children - Reuben, who died in 1886, and Mrs. J.J. Kerr, of Napanee, who is
still living. He next married Emma Gertrude Noxon of Sophiasburgh, and who
survives him with three sons and one daughter. Two sons reside in Picton -
Frith and George, and Walter in Chicago. The daughter, Mrs. Angus McGowan,
has her home in Madison, Wisconsin. The funeral took place on Wednesday,
from his late residence to Glenwood, Rev. S.J. Shorey, officiating. |

Fraser,
Hannah |
The community received a very severe
shock on Monday afternoon, when it was known that Miss Hannah Fraser, one of
our most highly respected residents, was found dead at her home here. A
neighbor had been trying to call her up on the phone, and getting no
response, after repeated trials, sent her little girl to see if she were at
home. The child, after rapping at the door several times, looked in the
window and noticed the fire being out, then went across the way to Mrs. C.
Amey's to see if she were there. Mrs. E. Johnston, a niece, nearby, was at
once communicated with. Mr. Johnston lost no time in coming to see what was
wrong, accompanied by Mr. J. Milligan. On examining the doors found them all
locked from the inside. Then got a ladder and effected an entrance by an up
stair window, making his way through the house until he came to the kitchen,
where he found the deceased cold in death. A doctor was at once communicated
with, and on arrival said heart trouble was the cause, and life had been
extinct for some time. The last Miss Fraser was seen alive was Saturday noon.
She was the fourth daughter of the late Allan Fraser, and since the death of
her sister, five years ago, lived alone on the old homestead. Her friends
were always solicitous regarding her being alone, but she preferred the
quietude of her own home rather than sharing it, or another's. Out of a
family of seven daughters and one son, but three remain, Mrs. Fraser,
Michigan, Mrs. J. Miller, Switzerville, and Mrs. W. Cliffe, Carleton Place.
In religion, Miss Fraser was a Presbyterian. Her pew was seldom vacant. The
church has met with a distinct loss, as she was one of its most ardent
supporters, a worker also in the S.S. Hers was a retiring disposition, but
ever ready to advance the cause of right. The poor never came from her door
empty handed. A friend to all in sickness and trouble. The funeral was held
on Thursday at one o'clock from her late residence, conducted by Mr.
Robinson, Presbyterian and Mr. Bell, Methodist. Her remains were placed in the
vault at Millhaven to await interment in the family plot at the Union Church
Cemetery.

Death of Isaac Fraser Formerly a Resident of Ernesttown - A
volunteer for the Cuban Campaign. A correspondent at Fellows, Ont.,
writes: The sad news of the death of an Ernesttown boy has just reached us by
way of a letter from his brother, Percy in Montana. They are sons of the late
Isaac Fraser, of the sixth concession of Ernesttown and cousins of J.B. and
John Fraser, merchants, of Napanee, and I.O. Fraser, of the fourth concession
of Ernesttown. Nine years ago, when their father
died, the three boys, Freeman, Isaac and Percy - struck out for the United
States, where too many of our best boys go to seek their fortune. They
located in Montana, where Truman and Percy took up land and went in for stock-raising.
Isaac, the subject of this sketch, followed school-teaching, as he did here
part of his time, and was cowboy for a time. Finally he entered the State
University, Lincoln, Neb., to study law. Last spring, when they called for
volunteers, Isaac and Percy both enlisted and were sent to Chickamauga,
Georgia. Isaac joined Captain Brown’s cowboy regiment, enlisting for two
years. Here is a short extract from a letter written by him last spring,
after they had arrived at Chickamauga: “I’m only a sergeant now, but if the
war lasts long enough I’ll try to win shoulder-straps. Perhaps I’ll win a
soldier’s grave instead.” Isaac was about 28 years of age, over
six feet high, an all-round athlete and as kind-hearted as he was big. He
died on Sept. 11th, of typhoid fever, in the hospital at
Chickamauga.

Away With the death of John Kilburn
Freeman, of Wilmur, passes the last and youngest grandson of one of the
oldest pioneer families of Ontario. His grandparents, who were of English
descent, were among the United Empire Loyalists, who left New England to find
a British home in the forests of Upper Canada, when the American colonies
became independent. They settled in Adolphustown. There John Freeman, their
son, a school teacher, married Miss Ruttan in 1807 and carried his bride on
horseback to the farm in Loughboro, occupied till his death by J.K. Freeman
and still held by the family. During his lifetime of 75 years, the
deceased was noted for his keen intelligence, industry and strong support of
everything which tended to the improvement and upbuilding of the community in
which he lived. His quiet and kindly manner gained him the respect and
confidence of his neighbors and for many years he was an efficient adviser in
matters relating to law, business and farming. As magistrate, he served a
wide district in settling disputes and clearing away misunderstandings. He
was an earnest member of the Methodist Church and an energetic worker for its
plans; for year a Sunday school superintendent and at all times a leader on
the side of right. As mourners for an affectionate husband and father, Mr.
Freeman leaves a widow and six children, all of whom – excepting one daughter
– live within comparatively short distances of their childhood home.

Obituary - Mr. Andrew David Fretts One of the best known residents of
the Township of South Fredericksburgh, and for the past two months a resident
of Napanee, passed away at his residence on John Street, on Thursday evening,
in the person of Andrew D. Fretts. The deceased, who was in his 71st year,
had been in poor health for some time, and it was thought that after leaving
his arduous duties of the farm, a change would do him good, and he and Mrs.
Fretts decided to come to Napanee. The deceased was of U.E. Loyalist descent,
being a native of Switzerville, one of a family of six, his parents being Mr.
and Mrs. James Fretts. When seven year of age his parents moved to the
Hamburg settlement, (now called Hawley) and there he resided for sixty-three
years. There was no one who was better known and there was no one who was
more highly respected. He always took a deep interest in the affairs of the
church and was a regular adherent, until ill-health kept him at home. He was
twice married, his first wife being Addie Hambly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Hambly, of the township of North Fredericksburgh. Twenty-one years ago
he was again united in marriage to Phoebe Farley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Farley, of Newburgh. Two brothers and two sisters have passed on, and he
leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, one son, Ross Hambly, and one sister,
Mrs. Annie Lampkin, of Brantford. The funeral service, which was
largely attended, was held at the Hawley Church, on Sunday afternoon, October
12th, and was conducted by Rev. Harry Pawson, of Trinity United Church,
Napanee. The pall-bearers were six nephews of
the deceased: George Fretts, Clayton Fretts, Fraser Lampkin, George
Creighton, Harold Dupree, Elgin Ungar. We mourn the loss of a life-long
resident of Hawley, in the person of the late Mr. Andrew Fretts, who passed
away at his late residence in Napanee on Thursday last. On Sunday the funeral
cortege proceeded to Hawley Church, where among his old friends and
neighbors, a most impressive service was held by Rev. H. Pawson, of Trinity
Church, Napanee. The choir of Hawley Church rendered appropriate music.
Following the service the body was taken to Morven and interred in the
cemetery there. We extend sympathy to the sorrowing friends. |

PAINFUL ACCIDENT SUSTAINED BY GEORGE
FRETTS – On Tuesday morning, while drawing ice for Dennison Bros., George
Fretts, who lives near Fredericksburgh Station, met with a serious and
painful accident.
While drawing a load of ice cakes down the hill near the Dennison
storage building, below Water St., a piece of ice slipped off the wagon and
struck one of the hoses, which happened to be a colt. The colt became frightened and started to
run, with the result that more ice left the wagon and Mr. Fretts was also
thrown off. One wheel of the wagon ran
over Mr. Fretts’ body.
He was taken to the hospital at Kingston, where it was found he was
badly bruised and several ribs had been broken. His condition is reported to be very
serious. NAPANEE MAN SUCCUMBS TO HIS INJURIES
– GEORGE FRETTS BADLY HURT WHEN TEAM OF HORSES RAN AWAY - George Fretts of
Napanee, who was seriously injured in an accident at Napanee on Tuesday, died
in the Hotel Dieu Hospital shortly after eleven o’clock this morning. Mr. Fretts had suffered four broken ribs on
the left side of his body, one rib was broken on the right side and there was
a rupture of the kidney. His condition
was very grave when he was brought to the hospital here where he was attended
by Dr. I. G. Bogart. Though everything
possible was done to save the man’s life, he was not able to rally from the
shock of the injuries sustained.
Mr. Fretts was driving a team and wagon with a load of ice which he
was taking to the ice house. At the
road where the accident occurred, there is a slight incline, and the ice
began to move forward. It is thought
that it pushed Mr. Fretts from the seat, and the ice striking the horses’
heels caused them to take fright, and they started to run away. They had gone only a short distance before
they were stopped. Evidently the wheel ran over Mr.
Fretts, and he was carried into the paint shop of Mr. Maracle and Dr. Wilson
was sent for. On examination he found
that four ribs on the left side were broken, one rib was broken on the right
side and there was a rupture of the kidney.
Funeral of George Fretts The esteem in which the late George
Fretts was held throughout the community particularly in his home district,
was evidenced on Friday afternoon when a large concourse of friends gathered
at the White Church, Morven, for the funeral service. Assisting Rev. R.W.
Street of Morven, was the Rev. R.M. Seymour of Cataraqui, a former pastor of

Fretze, Annie
Maria (nee
Brown) |
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Charles D.
Bell will be sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Bell’s Mother, Mrs. Fretze,
at her home, 1243 Davie street, last week, after a ten-days illness, in her
87th year. Before her
marriage in 1849, she was Annie Maria Brown, third daughter of the late Sgt.
David Bucklin Brown, youngest brother of the late General Jacob Brown, who
was commander-in-chief of the American army and lost his life in the early
Mexican war, where he fell in Brownsville, Texas. A fort was built in honor of his memory,
just across the Rio Grande from Mexico.
“Fort Brown.” Hit by a shell,
his nephew, Surgeon Brown, urged upon him the immediate necessity of an
operation, but he kept on giving orders until he died. A book on the war of 1812 by Irving
Bachelor gives a good description of his character. His ancestors came over on the Mayflower -
two brothers, one an English church clergyman, who settled in Rhode Island, a
descendant of whom, John Nicholas Brown, founded Brown university, and whose
only heir, John Nicholas Brown III, is known as “the richest boy in the
world.” His mother was one of the
beautiful Dresser sisters, a sister of Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt. The other brother, Lieut. Brown, who
founded Mrs. Fretze’s branch of the family, settled in Massachusetts. A number of famous Americans belong to this
branch of the family, amongst them Mrs. Russell Sage. The old ancestral home in England, “Battle
Abbey,” is being used in today’s big war as a munitions factory and the
effigies of old Sir Anthony Brown, and his wife are still in on chapel. Mrs. Fretze’s mother was a daughter
of the late Col. Isaac Fraser, whose wife was the youngest daughter of the
late Baron Stirling, of Stirling Castle, Scotland. Many of the
latter’s descendants live around Kingston and Napanee, Ont., notably
the Aylesworths, including Sir Alan Aylesworth, former minister of justice
for Canada. The late Mrs. Fretz, made her home
with her daughter, Mrs. Bell, for over 40 years almost continuously. She died quietly, as he had lived in the
firm conviction that an all-wise Providence constantly cared for those who
fully trusted in Him. Rev. E. Thomas,
her pastor, conducted the services, talking on her favorite verse, “Let not
your heart be troubled;” and Mrs. Whyte sang, “The Beautiful Isle of
Somewhere.” She was borne to her last
resting place in the family plot, Mountain View, by three generations of her
descendants, Charles D. Bell, her son-in-law and his son, C. O. M. Bell, the
other grandson, Mr. Ralph Bell, serving his country overseas; W. P. Argue, and his son, Ralph Argue, her
great grandson. |

Frickleton, James |
JAMES FRICKLETON - James (known for
many years as Father) Frickleton was born in Enniskillen, Ireland, was early
in life converted to God, and began at once to labor in the Master’s
cause. As early as 1836, we find him
engaged as parish clerk and schoolmaster in his native land. Among his papers, most carefully preserved,
there were found tickets of membership in the Primitive Methodist Church in
Ireland, dating as far back as 1837. I
have not been able to learn at what date he came to Canada, but he attended
Victoria College a part of 1845 shortly after he was employed by our Church
to supply the place of a junior preacher, on the Newmarket Circuit for most
of a year. He spent most of his after
life in teaching school and laboring as a very efficient local preacher in
different parts of this country. His name in this section of the country has
long been, and is still as ointment poured forth. From the time I came to this circuit I
found him ever anxious to speak of the deep things of God. I often felt that he was evidently fast
ripening for a better home. All who
visited him in his last illness feel they were nearer heaven while listening
to his expressions of rapturous joy in Christ. He said that he often prayed the God would
enable him to cry, (with his last breath) “Victory! Victory!, through the
blood of the Lamb;” “and, thank God,” he said, “I am enabled to do so.” He
frequently requested Bro. Strachan (Rev. Richard Strachan) one of his
sons-in-law, to sing such hymns as “Safe in
the arms of Jesus,” “Take the
name of Jesus with you,” and “I am going home to die no more.” While helping to sing he was sometimes so
overcome with joy that he would ask them to stop for a few moments until he
could control his feeling and that he would begin again. The testimony of all who were with him is
that they never saw a more triumphant death.
He died Feb. 8th, 1886, having reached the age of seventy-five
years, and having been a member of the Methodist Church at least fifty
years. I have said again and again in
my own heart, “Let me die the death of the righteousness, and let my last end
be like his!” [signed] A. Thibadeau. |
