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.

JEAN FRANCES EDGAR -

The entire community was shocked when they heard of the tragic death of Little Jean Frances Edgar, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Edgar, Selby.  Her sweet and winsome ways had endeared her to all who knew her, which was much in evidence by the large number of sympathizing friends and the beautiful floral tributes.

The funeral was held on Saturday August 27th at 2 o’clock, at the home of her parents.  The service was in charge of the Ven. Archdeacon Dumbrille, rector of St. Mary Magdalene Church, Napanee, who preached a very comforting sermon.  The hymns, “There is no night in heaven”, and “Safe in the arms of Jesus,” were feelingly sung.

Besides the grief-stricken parents, she leaves to mourn her loss, two brothers, Jimmie age 8 and Baby Allan, 9 months; her grandparents and several other relatives.

The remains were brought to Napanee and interred in Riverside cemetery.  The pallbearers were Jenkin Griffiths, Bobby McQuaig, Leo Manion and Harold Windover.

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.

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.

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 or commercially.

Mary Ann, relict of the late William Evans, was born in the township of Ernestown, in the year 1825, she being a 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.

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.

CHARLES EYVEL -

Galt, June 29 - Charles Eyvel, 53, Ainslee Street South, prominent in Oddfellow circles here, died this morning at the hospital from poisoning.

Deceased, who was the chief clerk of the Fraser Hardware Company for 15 years, was found violently ill in the basement of the store last night about 9 o’clock by fellow clerks, and shortly after became unconscious.  Coroner Radford, after investigating the case, decided an inquest was unnecessary.

Deceased was treasurer of Waterloo Lodge, I.O.O.F. and financial secretary of Galt Encampment, He was born in Toronto, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Eyvel, his father having been a widely known journalist and president of the Shorthand Association.  Prior to joining the Hansard staff he worked on the Seaforth Expositor, St. Thomas Journal, Sarnia Observer and Toronto Globe.  The father’s death in 1888 caused widespread indignation when he succumbed to injuries when he was beaten, robbed and left insensible in the snow by holp-up men in Toronto.

His mother was a sister of C. C. James, former deputy minister of agriculture.  Charles Eyvel is survived by his wife, formerly Edith Chatterson, of Napanee, and two sisters, Elsie of Huntsville and Mrs. D. A. Roblin, of Belleville.

The remains were brought to Napanee, the funeral being held yesterday afternoon.

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.

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 - 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.  [signed]  John Mills.

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,

The Late William Fenwick

An Aged Resident of North 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.

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 mourn his loss are five children, Messrs.

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 Trinity Church, and the interment followed at Riverside Cemetery.

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 Wartman resides in Newburg.  Ward Wartman of the firm of VanLuven and Wartman, Napanee is a nephew.

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.

(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 April 7th, 1885.  [signed] James Caswell.

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 Clarence Street is flying at half mast, out of respect to the memory of the deceased.

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.”

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.

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. Jones, Rev. A.O. Cooke, Rev. Austin Smith and the Rev. J. de P. Wright. The pall-bearers will be: Mr. E.E. Horsey, Mr. G. Hentig, Mr. W. Carroll and Mr. A.J. Shannon.

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.

And Mrs. Holmes and family have the sympathy of their many friends.

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.   W.H. Peake.

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 Cemetery.

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.

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.

Death of a Pioneer

Descendant of First U.E.L. Passes 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 the Morven circuit. The pallbearers were close friends of the deceased and were: Ex-warden J.B. Elliott, Harold Brandon, George Fralick, Arthur Fraser, Archie Simmons and George Creighton. Interment took place in the White Church Cemetery.

(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.
