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. |

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 or commercially. |

Mary Ann, relict

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. |

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. |

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

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 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

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 Miss Macdougall of “Hillside”. The
funeral was held by the Rev. Mr. Barber on Thursday afternoon, the 6th

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,

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. |

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 mourn his loss are five
children, Messrs. Guy, George and Walter Fenwick and Mrs. C. W. Keech of
Enterprise and Mrs. Fraser Stinson of Tamworth. Three sisters and two brothers also
survive, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Massey, and Mrs. Hobbs of Chicago Ill., Mr.
James Fenwick of Toronto, and Mr. George Fenwick of Enterprise. In the
passing of Mr. Fenwick, Enterprise loses one of its oldest and highly
esteemed citizens, and his many friends extend sincere sympathy to the
bereaved family in their irreparable loss. |

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. |

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

- The late David Filson, who died at his residence on Amherst Island, on 22nd
July, at the ripe age of eighty-six years, was born near Ballyhalbert, in the
county Down, Ireland, and emigrated to Amherst Island with his family in
1860, where he had since resided, following the occupation of a farmer.
Deceased was a noted plowman, having won many prizes at plowing matches in
the old country, and was often asked to preside as judge at matches in this

Henry, survives and is living on the homestead. The daughters, Mrs. John
Marshall, and Mrs. R.R. Burleigh, also live on the island. The esteem in
which deceased was held was testified by the large number who followed his
remains to Pentland cemetery, where they lie between those of his late wife,
who died seventeen years before him, and his eldest son. |

Findlay, Martha (nee

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. |

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

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,

the rapidly moving train to the ground, and the injury that he received
produced death within thirty-six hours. Those who witnessed the accident used
the bell rope freely, the train was stopped, backed up to the spot where the
accident occurred and the unconscious young man lifted aboard and taken to
Madera, where he was given medical attention and a telephone message sent to
his parents, who reached his bedside at 11 o'clock Sunday night and remained

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

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.

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

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. |

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

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. |

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. 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. |

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

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,

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,

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. |

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

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

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]
