Gahan, P. |
MAN
FOUND DYING - BY THE G. T. R. TRACKS NEAR COLLINS’ BAY - He Died
Shortly After Being Found - His Name is P. Gahan,
But His Home is Not Known. Daily
Whig, April 19th - With his
skull fractured in several places, his right hand mangled, and his face badly
bruised, the body of a man named P. Gahan, is at
Corbett’s undertaking morgue, waiting to be claimed. The body was found at six o’clock, this
morning, about three miles west of Collins Bay by the conductor of an
east-bound freight train, lying beside the track. He was still breathing, but
unconscious. He was carefully lifted
to the caboose of the freight and brought to the outer station, where
Corbett’s ambulance removed the remains to the morgue. He died before reaching the station. The only way he could be identified was by
two empty pay envelopes which he had in his pocket. One was for an amount of
$2.60 and had the number 180 in green print across the top. The other envelope was for $4.60 and had
the number 211 in the same color of ink.
There is reason to believe that he belongs to Montreal, as the name of
the tailor who made the coat was W. W. Harrington, Montreal. He had two pairs of trousers on when found,
as well as a pair of overalls. He wore
gaiter boots and this points to the fact that he might have been a brakeman,
as they are required to wear gaiters.
He wore a grey flannel shirt and red tie, with the name of a firm in
Buffalo on the inside. H had a
corduroy vest which had red dots in it.
He had a dark peaked cap on with a woollen
lining. He was a man of about
forty-five years of age, about six feet tall and would weigh about 175
pounds. He was light complexioned,
hair slightly turned and wore a black moustache. His skull was fractured in several places
at the back of his head, while over his right eye is a bad gash. His upper teeth chewed away part of his
lower lip and his face is badly bruised. The fingers of his right hand were
chewed off. The man is evidently a
Roman Catholic by the symbols he carried around his neck, fastened to a
string. Coroner Dr. A. E. Ross was
summoned, but unless further particulars are forthcoming an inquest will not
be held. The supposition that he may
be a railroad man is upset by the fact that the Grand Trunk does not pay with
envelopes, which are not stamped by the name of the company. When found his hands were covered with
grease and oil, as though he might have been a fireman or brakeman. |

Galbraith, Earle
B. |
Pte
Earle B. Galbraith. Numbered
among those young soldiers from Lennox and Addington who recently paid the
gold of life for Canada’s safety was Pte. Earle B. Galbraith, second son of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Galbraith, Varty Lake. Earle was wounded in the right shoulder by
gun-shot on October 30th 1917 and died of wounds three days later,
in the forty-fourth Clearing Station, France. Earle,
or “Gal” was widely known throughout this County and in Kingston where he
attended Queen’s University for four years.
Born on the Galbraith farm which borders Varty
Lake, he received his early education at Colebrook Public School, attended
later, for five years, the high School at Newburgh, and the Napanee
Collegiate for one year. From the
latter institution he passed in 1912 with his Normal Entrance and
matriculation Certificates. In the
fall of 1913, he joined the Arts ’17 Class at Queen’s University and attended
College till the early spring of 1917, when he enlisted in the Ammunition
column then recruiting at Kingston. On
reaching England two months later he was transferred to the Infantry branch
of war service and first plunged into Europe’s blood-deluge towards the end
of last July. Those
people who knew Earle intimately, know that he was in every way, cast in Canadian
manhood’s finest mould, that this sacrificing of his own promising future for
the good of Canada is only one generous detail in the whole living of his
generous life. Though always carefree
and void of sterness there was no snivelling in his make-up - he smiled home in his letters
out of the War - crucible of death, always with the true soldiers “Cheer-O” His
parents, his sister Violet, and brother Percy at home, his sister, Mrs.
Davidson, at Wilkie, Sask., and his brother Howard,
of Napanee have the deep sympathy of every friend. |

The sympathy of the whole neighborhood is with the family in their distress
and the wonder is how they will manage without Mrs. Gallagher for with
seeming frail body, she was a very marvel of physical and mental energy. Of
her it might be truly said: "Her price was above rubies. The heart of
her husband safely trusted in her. She did him good and not evil all the days
of her life. She looked well to the ways of her household, and ate not the
bread of idleness." She was withal a good religious woman, and the
family may have the comfort of feeling that her death was but birth to a
higher life, the safe landing of the voyager on the farther shore, welcome
rest for the zesty pilgrim in the Paradise of God. |

man, Frank Gallagher, 81, died in a fire which destroyed his 10-room frame

the Hamburg Rd., between Sillsville and Dorland, for 65 years. His son, James, lives about a quarter-mile
away. The home was part of Mr.
Gallagher’s farm, which he sold to Victor Brooks, retaining the privilege of

widow of the late Robert J. Galt, at the advanced age of 81 years, one month
and ten days. Deceased who had
not been in good health for the last few years had been confined to her bed
for the past nine weeks. She was the
youngest daughter and the last surviving member of the late Hiram S. Smith
and Elizabeth Salisbury, who were both of U.E.L. parentage. Their fathers crossed in an open boat from
Oswego to Kingston and made homes for themselves in this locality. Mrs. Galt’s maternal ancestors settled on
the homestead where she has resided for many years and from whence her
funeral was conducted. Mrs. Galt was of
a very bright and lovable disposition, with a keen intellect, which she
retained to the very last. An
affectionate mother and good neighbour, she took a deep interest in her home,
her church and the community. She was
a former member of the McDowell memorial Presbyterian Church, later uniting
with the Hawley United Church. A
member and former president of the Ladies Aid Society she was also a member
of the W.M.S. and the Maple Leaf Women’s Institute. The funeral
service, which was largely attended, took place from her late residence on
Thursday at 2:00 p.m. The Reverent
W.S. Smart officiated and took for his text the second verse of the 14th
chapter of the gospel according to St. John “In my Father’s House are many
mansions.” Mrs. G. Huyck sang a solo
“He Always Knows.” Six grandsons of the deceased James, Gerald and Everett
Galt, Kenneth Miller, Maurice Galt of the Royal Bank staff Warkworth, and R.J. Miller, Peterborough acted as
bearers. Internment was made in the
family plot at the McDowell Memorial Church Sandhurst. Floral tributes,
besides those from the family and relatives included sheaves from the Ladies

by four children (Florence) Mrs. F. Miller, of Peterborough, Finlay B. with
whom she resided, Robert J. of Bath and Arthur E. of Hawley; ten
grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

at her home in South Fredericksburgh near Hawley on Monday, October 1st, of
Mrs. Galt, the widow of the late R.J. Galt. Mrs. Galt, who was in her 82nd
year, had been in declining health for some time and for the past two months
had been confined to her bed. She was the
daughter of the late Hiram S. Smith and Elizabeth Salisbury, and was born in
South Fredericksburgh, near Sillsville, on August 21st, 1853. Many years ago
she married Robert J. Galt, who predeceased her forty years ago. Until a few
years ago, Mrs. Galt lived with her family at Sillsville, but for the past 34
years had resided at Hawley, with her son, Finlay B. Galt. Mrs. Galt is

Obituary - Miss
Florence Jean Galt A very sad event
occurred at Hawley, May 10th, 1920, when the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Galt passed away, after a short illness. The deceased was only seriously ill
for about a week with Acute minigitis (Tubercular).
She leaves to mourn her loss a father, mother and two brothers. The deepest
sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family. The bright,
cheerful and ever-ready helpful disposition of the little girl won many
friends, especially among her schoolmates, which was seen by the many floral
tributes from the School, the Associate Helpers, friends and relatives. The
Associate Helpers formed in two lines as the casket was borne from the house,
and each placed a bouquet of white Trilliums upon it. The funeral service was
conducted at the house by Rev. Mr. Seymour, on Wednesday May 12th. A vocal
duet by Mrs. Isaac Asselstine and Mrs. T.M. Asselstine, entitled "When
He Cometh to make up His Jewels", was very touchingly rendered. The
remains were placed in the vault in the Eastern cemetery Napanee, to await
interment in the family plot. |

Galt, John
W. |
(Bay Circuit)
Bethany community was shocked to hear of the very sudden death of Mr. John
Galt. Mr. Galt was at a neighbor's last Tuesday, October 9th, assisting in
the threshing of buckwheat. He had unloaded his wagon and was driving out to
the field for another load, when he was noticed to slump down on his wagon.
The horses were stopped, and when the other men arrived he was breathing his
last. A physician was called and pronounced death due to a critical heart
attack. With the exception of a short time spent in Richmond, Mr. Galt had
lived all his life in North Fredericksburgh, and was a son of James D. Galt
and Elizabeth Melissa Hough. He was one of a family of four. Two sisters
predeceased him and one brother, Henry, lives at Bethany. Mr. Galt was a
successful farmer, interested always in the upkeep and appearance of his
home. He was known for his ready wit, and many a laugh was caused by his
jokes. He was always interested in Bethany Church and regularly contributed
to its support. The funeral service was held on Friday morning, October 12th,
in Bethany Church, conducted by the minister of the church. Rev. T.H.P.
Anderson, of Newburgh, and intimate friend of the deceased, preached the
funeral sermon. The choir, under the leadership of Mrs. J. Clark, had charge
of the singing and during the service contributed a beautiful and appropriate
selection. The church was filled to capacity with a large and sympathetic
audience, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held. Interment was
made in Bethany cemetery. The bearers were J. Hawley, W.H. Goodman, W.
Miller, S. Joyce, F. Clark and J. Hicks. He leaves to mourn his loss, his
wife, who, before her marriage, was Miss Bartley, one daughter, Mrs. Walter
Herrington, Richmond; four grandchildren, and one brother Henry Galt. John W. Galt
Dies Quite Suddenly Napanee Oct 11 –
the residents of North Fredericksburg, particularly the Bethany district,
were shocked to learn of the sudden death of John W. Galt, a very highly
esteemed resident, who passed away late Tuesday afternoon in his 61st
year. As far known Mr. Galt had not
complained and to all appearances was a strong robust man. On Monday he was
assisting his neighbor, Joseph Hicks, in the threshing of buckwheat and he
suddenly expired. Dr. Willoughby was
immediately called but Mr. Galt was beyond all earthly assistance. With the
exception of a short time spent in Richmond, Mr. Galt had been a life-long
resident of North Fredericksburg. He
was born at Hay Bay, a son of James D. Galt and Melissa Hough and nine years
ago purchased the Samuel Walmsley farm at Bethany. Through-out his lifetime he had been a most
successful and hard working tiller of the
soil, was known for his ready wit and was popular with all his
friends. He was a very enthusiastic
member of the Conservative party and belonged to the United Church. Arrangements
have been completed for the funeral which will take place on Friday morning
to the Bethany United Church and the interment will be made in the Bethany
cemetery. An only sister
died many years ago and the deceased is survived by Mrs. Galt who before her
marriage was Miss Bartley, one daughter, Mrs. Walter Herrington of Richmond,
and a brother Henry Galt. |

The Late George
Garrison An Aged Resident
of Varty Lake, Near Moscow Moscow, Nov. 10
– The funeral of the late George Garrison, who died on Friday, November 5th,
took place from his residence, Varty Lake, near Moscow,
on Sunday, at one o’clock, Rev. J. Batstone,
Yarker, conducting the services. Mr. Garrison was one of the oldest residents
of the county, being in his eighty-eighth year, and had never had much
sickness during his long life. Through the past summer he had been in poor
health, suffering from stomach trouble, but had been able to do his own
driving to the surrounding villages. Three weeks before his death he attended
his granddaughter’s wedding, at Colebrooke, but
afterwards grew weaker day by day, although retaining his mental powers until
the last. Deceased was a
descendant of the United Empire Loyalists. Five brothers lived in the United
States, but after the war of independence, three of these, one being Mr.
Garrison’s father, came to Canada and settled in Fredericksburgh. Deceased
was born in 1822, on what is known as the Frettz
farm near Hawley. Three years later his parents moved to the shores of Varty Lake, near Moscow, and were the first settlers in
that vicinity. In the same year his father died, leaving a family of five
boys and two girls, all of whom predeceased Mr. Garrison. It was on the land
where his parents settled that the deceased grew to manhood, and spent his
declining years, being a continuous resident for eighty-four years. He was a very
energetic business man, a successful farmer and one of the first to start the
cheese industry in the county, erecting a factory at Moscow, also investing
in real estate to quite an extent. About twenty-five years ago he retired
from active business life, but still clung to his old home on the farm. He
was well known in his younger days as a dispenser of hospitality, his home
being the centre of many merry social gatherings. Always good to the poor, he
gave many men a start in business life and was not known to have an enemy. Although never
connecting himself with any church, he in his declining days confessed his
faith in God, and calmly and happily awaited death’s summons. In politics he
was a liberal. Sixty-six years
ago he married Mary Asselstine, eldest daughter of Jacob Asselstine, Moscow,
also of United Empire Loyalist origin, who survives him. He also leaves two
daughters, Mrs. F.S. Wartman and Mrs. A.C. Warner, and one son, C.N.
Garrison, of Colebrooke, to mourn the death of a
kind and noble father. |

occurred at Napanee, on September 2nd, 1921, of Mary Asselstine,
wife of the late George Garrison, whose parents were Jacob Asselstine and
Hannah Benn, married October 11th, 1827. Mary Garrison was the eldest of eleven

born November 25th, 1838; Huldah Vanluven, Kingston, born
April 30th, 1830, and Melissa Miller, Kentwood, Louisanna, born May 20th 1846. The deceased was born November 26th,
1828, and was married to the late George Garrison February 22nd,
1848, both being decendants of the U.E.L., and were
two of the first to clear the forest and settle on their farm at Varty Lake, near Moscow, living in a small log house for
eleven years; afterwards building, all
by hand work, one of the best farm homes in that district, where they toiled
and prosperously lived till the death of her husband, November 5th,
1909. She remained there one year
after his death, then went to live with her eldest daughter, Mrs. A. C.

She was a Methodist in religion, to which of late years she has been a
generous member; also contributing
largely to the Red Cross and other worthy societies and devoted all her time
during the war to knitting socks for the boys at the front, and even the day
before she was stricken down with the summer grippe she knit a foot of a sock
and was apparently as well as usual.
She was always of a cheerful disposition and of wonderful vitality, never
using glasses to read with or known to lie down during the day time, and was
the last one to bed and the first up in the morning, never missing a meal and
retaining all her facilities to the last, praising her children and those in
attendance at her bedside. She was
confined to her bed ten days, when she passed away at the age of 92 years, 9
months and 7 days. The funeral was
held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wartman, Napanee, on Sunday, Sept 4th,
1921, thence to Moscow cemetery, where a short service was held and interment
took place, a large gathering of friends being present to pay their last
respect to a worthy resident of that community. Two children survive, an only son, Cyrus
Garrison, Colebrook, and her youngest daughter, Mrs. F. S. Wartman,

Killed While
Loading Logs - A shocking accident occurred in Samuel Asselstine's woods,
near Morven, last Friday afternoon, in which Stewart Garrison, a young man of
about thirty-five years of age, was almost instantly killed. The young man
and his brother Charles were loading logs in the woods together, and were in
the act of breaking a top log on the load. The log was difficult to raise and
Stewart attempted to ease it with a hand spike, but in doing so the chain was
loosened and slipped. Stewart attempted to get out of the way by stepping
backwards, but his foot caught on a stick and he fell backwards, the log
sliding swiftly down on top of him, crushing the lower portion of his skull.
His brother, who had witnesses the sad accident, cried out for assistance,
and when help arrived, in about five minutes time, he was found frantically
kneeling in the snow holding his unconscious brother's bleeding head on his
arm. The young man was picked up and as carefully as possible placed on Mr.
Wm. H. Crabbe's sleigh and conveyed to the home of his father, Mr. John
Garrison, Morven, but he never regained consciousness, dying in about twenty
minutes from the time of the accident. Deceased was a very popular young man,
liked by all who knew him. He was an active member of the Methodist church
and for several terms filled the position of local president of the Christian
Endeavor Society. Besides his brother Charles he has three other brothers,
Gideon, Damon and Norman, and a sister, Miss Emma Garrison, a student at
Albert College, Belleville. The sorrowful accident has cast a gloom over the
whole neighborhood. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, services being
conducted in the White church, Morven, by the Rev. R. M. Pope. It was very
largely attended. |

A Sketch of the
Late William Henry Garrison, Napanee Napanee Beaver William Henry
Garrison was laid to rest on Sunday, July 15th, 1923. His U.E.L.
ancestors landed at Hay Bay and early removed to Plainfield in the county of
Hastings. There the deceased was born eighty-six years ago. He married a
quiet and devoted woman, Mary Jane Outwater. His outstanding characteristic
was religion. By marriage a nephew to the great Bishop Richardson, he early
eschewed evil; and in a great camp meeting under the preaching of Rev. Dr.
Gardiner, who preached on ‘Will a man rob God?’ he was converted. He soon
became superintendent of the Plainfield Sunday School, which office he held
for twenty-nine years. He also assisted in organizing other schools. In his
profession of carpenter and contractor, he built or rebuilt some twenty-six
churches, including both churches at Plainfield, one at Eldorado and at Westneath, and the one at Point Petre. He removed to
Napanee thirty-three years ago, becoming a member of Grace Church. He taught
in the Sunday school, and helped organize a large class meeting. He has also
been an efficient class-leader and helped often and in many places in the
conduct of public worship. Always was he found in his place in the sanctuary
and at the prayer service. To him religion was both a business and a hobby.
He was unsparing in his condemnation of evil and wrong of every kind. He was
a devout reader of the Bible, and a lover of all churches and christian people. Both in sickness and in health the name
of Jesus was often on his lips. After only two weeks of illness and at a very
ripe age, he passed to his reward. Surely he who so loves the sanctuary and
so cultivated the life of the spirit, and so labored and rejoiced in erecting
sanctuaries to the praise and worship of God, will be counted worthy of
welcome in the upper and better sanctuary. On Sunday
afternoon, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. F.L. Hooper, Thomas Street, a
brief service was held and his body was interred in the beautiful Riverside
cemetery. Among the devout people he will be most missed. |

EMMA GeRILL - Died at
her father’s residence, on the 10th line of Collingwood, August 12th,
1885, Emma GeRill, daughter of Henry and Hannah GeRill. Emma was
born in Toronto township on Christmas Day, 1856. She was converted to God at a meeting she
attended in Toronto, five or six years ago.
She was mild and gentle in her disposition and manners, and beloved by
her acquaintances. She caught a severe
cold while staying a few weeks with a sister in Toronto. Returning home she
only survived about four weeks. She
seemed to melt away under the power of that fell destroyer, quick
consumption, as snow under a June sun.
But she was ready, washed in the blood of the Lamb. Her confidence in her Saviour was
steadfast, and enabled her to triumph over death. Her soul was filled with joy when the last
enemy was doing its work. What a cause
for devout gratitude to God have her parents, who are seeking the heavenly
city, that amidst the sorrow of earthly separation they can rejoice in the
prospect of the companionship of the loved daughter, not dead, but gone
before. May all the surviving brothers
and sisters consecrate their lives to God, so that Bro. GeRill’s
family may be united forever before the throne of God. [signed] G. W.

memorial was the son of William and Isabella German. He was born in the
township of South Fredericksburgh January 7th 1867. He was a most
promising young man and his life was without spot or blemish so far as human
eye could judge. He was genial in his manner and a favourite
with all who knew him and will be greatly missed in the circle in which he
moved. He was converted to God about two weeks previous to his death in a revival
meeting conducted by the writer. His short illness was marked with Christian
patience and he was perfectly resigned to his Master's will. The day before
his death he said to the writer, "Won't it be pleasant to meet with my
Heavenly Father; yes and with my departed mother who is waiting and watching
for me in glory." On Sunday, February 15th, his funeral took place when
the writer tried to improve the sad and solemn occasion by addressing a large
audience from the words, "Prepare to Meet Thy God," after which his
mortal remains were laid to rest in the Adolphustown (**NOTE: Adolphustown has been crossed out, and Sillsville written

German, Margaret |
On 11th January, Mrs. Margaret German, of
Fredericksburgh. Her maiden name was Smith, she was born in Fredericksburgh in
1793, married to Matthew German in 1812; and leaves eight children. Mrs. Margaret
German’s maiden name was Smith. She was born in Fredericksburgh, Bay Quinty in 1793. Her parents were professors of religion
and members of the Lutheran Church. They taught the subject of this notice
the fear of the Lord in early youth. The effects of their instructions were
seen in Margaret’s filial obedience – her steady habits and moral conduct
from her childhood. She did not, however, experience a saving change of heart
until some time after her marriage with Mr. Matthew
German, which took place in 1812. Mrs. German united herself to the M.E.
church, of which she continued a faithful member until her death. She was a
help-mate to her husband as a class-leader, a parent and a Christian. She has
left him, 8 children, a numerous circle of friends to mourn her absence. Mrs.
German was taken ill – her sufferings were extreme until the day of her
death. Mrs. German died on the 11th of January, 1831. [abridged

Wilbur F. Gerow The tragic death
of Mr. W.F. Gerow was a great shock to a large circle of friends and
acquaintances. His name has been intimately associated with the dairying
interests of this county for a great many years. He was a pioneer in the
cheese industry and as a cheesemaker had few equals
in the province. He was in charge of
Excelsior Cheese Factory for the present season, and in the early morning of
the 19th inst., gave the alarm of fire, and in a few minutes the building was
enveloped in flames. He worked most energetically to save the contents and in
a measure succeeded. He was missed for a time in the darkness and was then
found lying upon some bedding which he himself had carried from the burning
building and deposited on the roadside. He was removed to a neighboring
residence where he passed away in a few minutes. Mr. Gerow had the enviable
reputation of being a most conscientious good living man who had a kind word
for everyone he met. H will be greatly missed in the business and social
circles in which he moved, and particularly in the Masonic Order, where he
has held many important offices. The love and esteem cherished for him by his
brother Masons was amply testified by the beautiful floral tributes placed
upon the casket, and the large number who turned out to his funeral on
Saturday afternoon to pay respect to his memory. Died After the
Fire in House Near Factory W.F. Gerow Had
Long Been Known in Cheese-Making Circles Napanee, April
20 – The news of the death of Wilbur Ferman Gerow
was received in town yesterday, and was a distinct shock to all by whom he
was known. He operated the cheese factory in North Fredericksburgh, known as
No. 11, owned by a farmers’ stock company, and situated between Hay Bay and
the Bay of Quinte. The factory had just been overhauled and put in repair for
the season’s work. Mr. Gerow was
boarding with the man who worked with him in the factory and was aroused about
midnight to discover that the factory was on fire. He and his man did what
they could to arrest the flames, but without avail, for the building was
burned to the ground. Mr. Gerow became exhausted by his efforts and laid down
upon his bed where after the elapse of some time it was discovered that he
had passed away. The cause of death is said to have been heart failure. Deceased was in
his seventy-second year. He was a well known figure on the streets of Napanee
and highly respected by all who knew him. He has been connected with the
cheese factory business for very many years and was in charge of the Palace
Road factory, near which his house is situated, for a long time. He also
managed the cheese factory at Newburgh for some time and that factory is now
in charge of his son. Much sympathy is extended to his widow, who has been in
poor health for years, also to the family in their bereavement. In religion
Mr. Gerow was a Methodist. He was a member of the Oddfellows
and was a very prominent Mason. The funeral will
take place from his late residence, on Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock,
services at Grace Methodist church, interment at Riverside cemetery. |

Gibbard, John |
Death of John Gibbard, Esq. – Last Monday morning brought to a close
the life of Napanee’s oldest citizen, in the person of John Gibbard,
Esq., at the ripe old age of 94 years, 8 months and 21 days. The subject of this sketch was born at
Wilton on August 6th 1813, and was of English-Scotch descent. He remained at home with his mother until
18 years of age, obtaining such an early education as our country schools
could then afford. His first earning,
on a farm, the result of much hard work, amounted to $4.00 a month and
board. The next year he received $5
per month He then apprenticed himself
to a carpenter and joiner, with whom he worked for the next three years
at $60.00 per year. He then branched out for himself and for
the next two or three years was engaged in other parts of the country. It was
on the last day of August, 1836, that he located in Napanee, and has been one
of our well-known and enterprising citizens ever since. A small circumstance appears to have turned
the scale about his residence here. He
had been offered better terms by a builder in Percy township and had arranged
to go there. He walked to the steamboat
landing, where Deseronto now stands to meet his prospective employer, but
found the boat had just gone, and there would be no other chance for a day or
so. Disappointed, he retraced his
steps to Napanee, engaged here, and had ever since loyally linked his
destinies to those of this town. It
was an important thing for Napanee that his lot was cast here. His first job
here was putting the doors and windows in the new stone block in the Blewett building, now occupied by Mr. J. G. Oliver and
Mrs. Knight. It was the first stone
building erected in Napanee and is one of the oldest standing in the
town. Some of Mr. Gibbard’s
remembrances of Napanee as it was when he first settled here, will make
interesting reading. It was then but a
small and straggling village of a few wooden buildings. The only building north of Bridge street
was the residence of Mr. John Benson, where Mr. John Thomson’s fine residence
now stands. There was also a house on
the corner where the Market Hotel sheds now stand. North and west of these places were wet and
swampy. Where Mr. W. T. Gibbard’s residence now stands was a swamp, almost
impassable. Dundas St., west of Mr.
John Lowrys and Mrs. Davey’s corners, was low and
swampy. There were several small
stores, but none of them occupied more than one small room. There were no churches in Napanee then, or
for some years after. A small square
schoolhouse stood under the shadow of the large elm tree just where the
embankment of the G. T. R. bridge now is on Dundas street. There the Rev. Saltern Givens began his
first work as a Church of England missionary, and young John A. Macdonald
(afterwards Sir John) was a member of the choir. Mr. Gibbard saw
the building of the first Church o f England here, east of the Court
House; he also assisted in the
building of the old brick Wesleyan church in 1842, and of its successor, the
Eastern Methodist church where Trinity church now stands; he also took a prominent part in erecting
the old White church, and its successor, the present Western Methodist
church,. He is the last one of the
original official board. He well
remembered when, in this county, there were more taverns than churches and
schools, and more distilleries than mills, but as a temperance and church
worker he has well done his share in bringing about a very important
reformation. He was converted at a
Methodist protracted meeting in 1837
and has been a staunch and reliable member of the Methodist church
ever since. That denomination owes
much to him in this locality. He was
also for many years a member of the School Board and Town Council. Mr. Gibbard has
always been a supporter of the Liberal party and though never a strong
partisan, “you always knew where to find him.” Mr. Gibbard began
business here in a very safe and modest way, and has always been a man of
prudence and caution in business affairs.
For some years he manufactured and sold nearly all the fanning mills
in this county, and they were formerly much more important machines to our
farmers than they now are. He gradually spread out more into building,
contracting, and finally into the furniture business. He was really the founder of the present Gibbard Furniture Co., Limited, which has become the most
important and best known of any in that line now in Ontario. Three times did he have the misfortune to
be burned out. First in 1854, when
nearly everything was lost and no insurance;
then in 1862, when all was destroyed and the insurance only partially
covered the loss, though in a little over two months he had the works rebuilt
and in full operation again. The last
serious fire, in 1892, nearly all will remember . The loss was very serious at that time, and
Mr. Gibbard had grown old. It was therefore, decided to form a joint
stock company, starting on a larger scale, with his only son, Mr. W. T. Gibbard, as business manager. Napanee today owes much of its present
business standing and prosperity to the late John Gibbard
Esq. His many friends throughout the
town, county and province will learn with regret of his death. He leaves an only son, Mr. W. T. Gibbard, to mourn the loss of a kind and loving
father. The funeral took place from
his late residence on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. A private service was held at the house for
the family after which service was held in the Western Methodist Church, of
which deceased had been a life long member. Rev. James Gardner, of Belleville, ninety
years of age, a boyhood friend of Mr. Gibbard’s
briefly addressed those assembled and resident ministers offered prayers. The choir, under the leadership of Mr.
Fisher sang Turner’s lovely setting to “Sun of My soul,” with beautiful expression and at the close
of the service the male voice quartette, “Still, Still with Thee” was most
tastefully rendered by Messrs. Caron, Black, Fisher and Graham. The employees of the factory had full
charge of the funeral and turned out in a body. Beautiful wreaths were presented by the
employees and the Western Methodist church.
The remains were placed in the Western vault to await interment in the
family plot there. |

surveyor of Adolphustown. When a young man he studied for the profession of
land surveying and civil engineering and accompanied his father, as

turned his attention and gave his time on the farm his father had purchased
in Adolphustown. For over thirty years he was secretary of the U.E.L. cheese
factory of that place. Three years ago his health failed and he moved to
Napanee. Mr. Gibbs was of
a gentle, retiring disposition honorable and upright in his dealings with
others, and ever ready to help in times of trouble and distress. In religion
he was a Methodist, and he died with a strong and steadfast faith in his
Savior. He leaves one sister to mourn his loss, Miss Mary J. Gibbs, and two

DROWNED – Last Friday afternoon Chas. Gibson, aged 28, and Ernest Instant, aged
30 were drowned while crossing the Bay of Quinte from Emerald to Bath for a
doctor. The recent thaw had weakened
the ice and the horse and cutter broke through. There were two others in the cutter, George
Cork and Robt. McFern, who had a narrow escape. The horse was also drowned. With difficulty Cork succeeded in getting
upon solid ice and carried the news back to the island and a rescue party
found McFern alive but still in the water. Charles
Gibson is a son of John Gibson, Amherst Island, and cousin of Dr. Wm. Gibson,
of Kingston. He was unmarried. Ernest Instant, was a brother of Reginald
Instant B.Sc. of Queen’s University and son of Nelson Instant, a life-long
resident of Amherst Island. The sad
occurrence has caused widespread sorrow on Amherst Island where both were
residents. The remains of Ernest
Instant were recovered on Saturday last, but those of Gibson arte still

OLD RESIDENT
DEAD - SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF DAVID GIBSON - His Life was Linked with Early
History of the City - He Took An Active Interest in Municipal Affairs. Kingston lost another old resident on
Friday, in the person of David Gibson, who passed peacefully away at his
home, 461 Princess St. at 9:30 o’clock, in the morning. Deceased who was eighty-seven years of age,
was connected with Kingston’s early history, and was widely known and
respected in this district. The late
David Gibson was born in Kingston. His
father came to this country from Fifeshire, Scotland,
at the close of the war of 1812-13, and was for some time employed in the
office of the royal Engineers, at Fort Henry, and also assisted in the
building of the Grenville canal, between Ottawa and Montreal. David Gibson was just seven years of age at
the time of his father’s death, and as
he was the only son, was left to fight life’s battles alone. In the year 1837, he entered the office of
the Chronicle and Gazette, as an apprentice.
At the close of his apprenticeship, in 1843, he continued in the
office as a journeyman. When John
Creighton retired to take charge of the
Argus, published by John Stewart, and Joseph Boyd left on account of
ill-health, Mr. Gibson was appointed foreman and manager of the Chronicle,
and this position he held up to the time of his death of the proprietor,
James Macfarlane, in 1847. The paper
was then merged into the News, the Messrs. Rowlands
being the proprietors. Mr. Gibson went
from Kingston to Belleville in 1848 to take charge of the publication of a
paper and magazine edited by Sheriff Moodie and his
gifted wife, another of several publications.
After staying in Belleville a year his health failed and he returned
to his home city, and upon advice changed his occupation, going into business
as a partner in a general store. This
venture was not very encouraging however and making a settlement of the
business he entered as clerk in a hardware store, also an insurance office,
and afterwards the firm of Bryce & Ferguson, where he remained six
years. In 1859, he went into business
for himself and for many years carried on a successful business. In 1866, Mr. Gibson was elected a member of
the school board. He was elected an
alderman for Rideau ward, in 1867, and represented that ward to the end of
1874. At this time politics ran high,
and Mr. Gibson, who was a staunch conservative, took an active part in the
election of Sir John A. Macdonald, Mr. Gibson being a warm personal friend of
the latter, and at this time, Mr. Gibson was defeated by a small majority. the next year he was presented with a
largely signed requisition, asking him to be an aldermanic candidate in
Frontenac ward. He offered himself and
was returned without opposition. After
representing Frontenac ward for several terms he retired from municipal
affairs. On several occasions he was
urged to be a candidate for mayor, but
declined. Deceased was one of the
first managers of the House of Industry and for over thirty years took an
active interest in the work of the institution. Deceased was a personal friend of Sir John
Macdonald, and the latter often called at his home to see him. Deceased was also a school friend of Sir
Oliver Mowat.
He was manager of St. Andrew’s church for many years and was engaged
in Sunday school work. He was a member
of St. Andrew’s society and Sons of Scotland from the time these societies
were organized. He was well posted
about people and events, and his counsel and advice were often asked. He was a fine writer and wrote several
interesting articles for the Kingston papers. Deceased is survived by his wife (Formerly
a Miss Wilson, of Belleville), one son, Dr. Gibson, formerly of Hamilton and
now of the Eye and Ear hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y.; one daughter, Mrs. McKay, of Barrie, and
one grandson. Deceased was democratic
in act and feeling. He recognized no
such thing as class. His favorite
expression given with considerable emphasis was “ A man’s a man for a’ that.” He had a cheery word and smile for all, and
had helped others all his life. He was
known ever as an honest, upright and staunch friend to all his friends and
relatives, and, in fact, to all in trouble and distress he often said: “A king can make a belted knight, A
marquis, duke and all that. But an
honest man’s above his might, A man’s a man for a’ that.” Deceased was a man in the truest and best
sense. He oftentimes said to his son,
“My father left me an honorable name and I will hand it on to you.” |

MRS. MARY GIBSON
- Whose maiden name was Mary Stafford,
was born in the county of Tyrone, Ireland, 1807, came to America when twelve
years of age with her brother; landed
at Boston, Mass., and settled at St. Johns, Lower Canada, now Quebec. On the 13th of June, 1827, she
was united in marriage by Rev. John Bethune, rector, to Mr. William Gibson,
of Montreal, where they lived several years, and after thirty-seven years of
married life was suddenly and sorely bereaved, as her husband was killed at
the grist-mill, in Highgate Falls, Vermont, Nov. 1st,
1864. She united with the Wesleyan
Methodist church, May 1866, under the pastorate of Rev. W. R. Parker, D.D.,
at Lacolle, St. Johns County, Quebec, where she
then resided. Her religious experience
was clear, definite and satisfactory.
She loved the Methodist Church,
as preferred to all others, and remained faithfully devoted in her attachment until
transplanted to the Church triumphant, Dec. 28th, 1886. She moved to West Rutland, Vermont, in October,
1875, and resided with her daughter and son-in-law, Dr. Daniel Fosburgh. As there
was not a Methodist church here then, she joined by letter the Congregational
church, and when able to attend was regularly in attendance at all the means
of grace, though always considered herself a Methodist. Her religious life and experience were
marked by deep spirituality and humility.
when death was near, she first dreaded the idea of burying the body,
but soon triumphed over all fear, and waited patiently for the hour of
release. With child-like humbleness
and simplicity, she prayed earnestly, and trusted for complete cleansing from
all sin. A few days before her
departure, she said to the writer, “O, Mr. Schell, I want you to tell
everybody I love Him, I love Him, I love Him with all my heart.” Thus she passed to the “house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.” The
funeral services were conducted by the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, assisted by Rev. E. P. Lee, rector, and Rev. H. J. W. Bailey, pastor
of the Congregational Church, and loving friends bear testimony that “Mother
Gibson” is truly resting from her labors, “asleep in Jesus.” [signed] D. M. Schell |

ROYAL A. GIBSON
- A well-known resident of Amherst Island passed away in the Kingston General
Hospital, on June 2, 1958, following a brief illness, in the person of Royal
A. Gibson. He was the son of the late
John B. Gibson and Mehetable Allen. A lifelong resident of the Island, the late
Mr. Gibson had followed the occupation of farming until his partial
retirement, some 20 years ago.
Although Mr. Gibson had suffered a serious illness when he was 14
years of age, resulting in his partial disability, his interests in life had
been many. Following his retirement
from farming, he had operated a grist mill at Stella for a number of years as
well as serving as caretaker for the Township Hall and Victoria Hall, in
Stella. Mr. Gibson had been
secretary-treasurer of the committee of Pentland
Cemetery for a great many years and since this cemetery was adjacent to his
farm, it was a spot dear to his heart and it was through much of his effort
that this cemetery had recently been restored to its present fine
condition. Last January, Mr. Gibson
was appointed as a member to the joint Pentland and
Glenwood Cemeteries Board, when the two committees were amalgamated. Gifted with considerable ability for writing,
the late Mr. Gibson had served as correspondent for many years for the
British Whig and later for the Kingston Whig-Standard, when the two papers were joined. Latterly and up to the time of his death he
was local correspondent for the Napanee Beaver. The late Mr. Gibson had been a devoted
member of Burleigh L.O.O. No. 482 for over 40 years and two years ago he was
made a life member of the association.
He was also a past master of many years standing. In religion he was an Anglican, being a
member of St. Alban’s Church, Stella. Mr. Gibson was
predeceased by two brothers, Cecil and Charles. A niece, Mrs. Frank Brady, Ottawa,
survives, as well as a number of cousins at Cleveland, Ohio; Jamestown, N.Y.; Huallen,
Alta; Belleville, and Kingston. The funeral was
held from the residence of his cousin, Bruce Caughey,
to St. Alban’s Church, Stella, with Canon W. B. Williston officiating. Interment was
made in Pentland Cemetery. Pall-bearers were Stratton Reid, Wallace Hefford, Ernest Fleming, Marshall Glenn, Robert Brown and
Ernest Filson.
Flower-bearers were Estel Strain, J.F.

THE LATE HOWARD
S. GILBERT - The death of AC 2 Howard S. Gilbert, which took place in St.
Thomas on Friday morning, was received with sincere regret by a wide circle
of friends in Napanee and the district.
The deceased, who was in his 20th year, passed away as a result
of contracting scarlet fever which was followed by bronchial pneumonia. He was the only son of Cpl. G. C. Gilbert,
who is at present stationed at Rockcliffe with the
R.C.A.F., and Mrs. Gilbert. He was
educated at the Napanee public school and Collegiate Institute and had been
employed at Graham’s garage, previous to enlisting in the R.C.A.F. in August,
1942. He was first stationed in
Ottawa, where he attended a school in technical training, and in January, 1943,
was transferred to Lachine, Que. Several
weeks ago he was sent to St. Thomas.
The deceased was a member of Grace United Church and prior to his
enlistment was a member of the Sunday School.
He was held in high esteem by a wide circle of friends, and his untimely death at the age
of 20 years is deeply regretted.
Besides his parents, he leaves two sisters, the Misses Dorothy and
Leona Gilbert. The funeral service was
held from the residence of his parents in Clarksville to Trinity United
Church, Sunday afternoon, and was conducted by Rev. C. D. McLellan,
who spoke in high terms of the deceased.

floral tributes. Miss Letha Scott,

Gilbert, Waty (nee

DIED - Of consumption, in Adolphustown, on the 1st
September, Waty, consort of Mr. Lazarus Gilbert in
the 46th year of her age.
Her parents Mr. William Casy and Martha his wife,
were among the first settlers of this Province. Whilst their hands were occupied in the
affairs of a new settlement, their hearts were arrested by the Gospel through
the instrumentality of Ministers known by the name of Methodists. Having obtained heart-felt religion, these
pious parents were not forgetful of the spiritual wants of their children. Their daughter Waty in her 13th year became sensible of her
naturally lost state and joined the Methodist Church. Two years after, while attending a Camp
Meeting, (the first held in Canada,) she obtained pardon and grace; and from
that happy day until her death she retained her standing in the Church and a
union with her God. Various and heavy
were her trials through life. At the
death of her former husband, Mr. J. West, (of whose happiness in his last
moments the readers of the Christian Guardian some time ago heard,) she was
left in slender circumstance, with a family of small children, but help was
given her from both heaven and earth. -- Her friends afforded
assistance in bringing up the little ones, and the widow’s God kindly gave
the ‘daily bread.’ Her union with Mr.
Gilbert was a happy one. Then she
could say, the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, I have a goodly
heritage. In 1834, her health began to
fail. The following Autumn her hectic
fever alarmed her friends, and a severe cough soon prostrated her remaining
strength. Her pious friends often
prayed with her, and on these occasions she frequently manifested much
joy. When she became sensible of her
approaching dissolution, with great strength of mind she gave directions
respecting the course of life she wished her children should pursue. She spoke of death with composure, as one
who had a treasure beyond the grave.
Her last words were “Glory to God!” in reference to her, the words of
the wise man are applicable “The woman
that fear the Lord, she shall be praised.” At her funeral
an appropriate and very impressive discourse was addressed to a deeply
affected assembly. - [Christian Guardian]. |

ADAM GLAZIER -
Of Chiaguacousy, county Peel, one of the early
pioneers from Ireland, passed away, 7th Dec 1885 aged 70 years. He has gone from the Church milliant in joyful expectation of a blissful home with
the Church above, leaving a sorrowing widow and daughter (Mrs. J. Mitchell)
whom he expects to meet in the better country. For several years he was an invalid, seldom
able to go to church or to that means of grace specially prized by him, and
by nearly all devout Methodists, who
have much to do or to suffer, the class-meeting. Wearisome days and temptations to despondancy were his, yet his also was the language of
patience, submission, and victory.
Just a week before he died, in company with one of his friends, I
visited him. With overflowing heart he
spoke of his conversion to Christ under the labors of “Father Long” the blind
preacher (about forty years ago); of
God’s fatherly goodness all the way, and of his strong confidence and bright
hope for all the future. shortly
before his death he said to his dear wife, “I am going; I shall soon be home;
I’ll watch and wait for your coming.”
It was my privilege to be present as this faithful brother passed
peacefully away to his rest. The
funeral discourse at Cesar’s Church was founded on the words, “Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell
in the house of the Lord forever.”

Trunk Caused Man’s Death Albert J.
Godfrey Passes Away at Cape Vincent, Aged Forty-eight Years. Cape Vincent,
N.Y., Aug. 12 – Albert John Godfrey, aged forty-eight years, in charge of the
freight department at the New York Central railroad station in this village,
is dead at his home here as a result of a strain incurred while lifting a
heavy trunk from a baggage truck to a boat Sunday night. It is believed that
the arteries of the heart were strained. Mr. Godfrey had
been employed by the railroad company for the past three years, previous to
that time being in the carting business. He has always been in good health.
In lifting the heavy trunk Sunday night, he felt something give way, the pain
being so intense that he reeled and fell to the ground. Friends assisted him
to his feet but he insisted on carrying the trunk to the boat where he was
again overcome and fell to the deck of the vessel. He was carried to his home
but although he suffered some pain, he did not deem it necessary to call a
physician until the following morning. His condition then began to be
critical, although he remained conscious. The doctor worked over him all day
but Mr. Godfrey passed away Monday night. He was born in
Adolphustown, Canada, but came alone to Cape Vincent, from his birthplace,
when twenty-three years of age. His marriage to Miss Bernard, of
Adolphustown, took place in 1895. He had always lived in this village. |

Gonyou, Sarah Ida (nee Parks) |
Sarah Ida Gonyou Beloved wife of
Mr. Christopher Gonyou, of Sheffield, was a
daughter of the late Manson and Sarah E. Parks and was born in South
Fredericksburgh on the 23d Sept., 1866. In early
life, a naturally amiable disposition received the added charm of converting
grace; and some twelve years ago, Ida was united in marriage, which union was
one of unbroken harmony, until severed by death, on August 3d, 1896. For a while grown somewhat cold, religiously,
she renewed her covenant vows eleven years ago, during the pastorate at
Tamworth of Rev. S.F. Depew and has since then adorned her profession by a
consistent godly life and has enjoyed uninterrupted peace with God through
faith in the atonement. Ten years ago health began to fail and has never
since been really rugged, but only within a year or two had the insidious
inroads of consumption become evident, and even then, the sometimes
flattering symptoms of that fatal malady gave occasional ground for hope of
recovery. For many months past, however, such hope had been abandoned by both
the invalid and the loved ones, who gave untiring service, as the case
baffling the best available skill, the sufferer passed slowly but surely down
to utter physical prostration, emaciation and death. Through these long,
tedious months, the sufferer was divinely sustained and in view of early
removal from her fond husband, her dear little boys, her mother, and other
near family relatives, she manifested wondrous fortitude and a perfect
submission to the will of her heavenly father. In regular pastoral
visitation, during the several months past the writer has learned lessons in
this respect never to be forgotten, and such visits
have not been merely a labor of love and duty, but a source of spiritual
benediction. Very gradually, indeed, the end came – her sufferings continuing
almost to the last, and the weary one entered into rest and “passed thro’ death, triumphant home.” Receiving intimation of
the death, and date of interment, we passed over to our former charge to
preach at the obsequies, according to an old engagement with the deceased,
and the sermon was based upon the words of the Psalmist, “For so He giveth His beloved sleep.” The attendance at Tamworth
Methodist Church on the occasion was large, and all seemed to feel, as the
remains were committed to the earth after the service, that while heaven had
been enriched by this removal, all surviving relatives and friends had
sustained an irreparable loss, but, amid conflicting emotions, we fee to
exclaim – “Forever with the Lord. Amen, so let it be.” J.J. RICE |

Death of William
Goodman The township of
North Fredericksburgh lost one of its most highly esteemed residents at noon
on Friday when William Goodman passed away after an illness which had
extended over a period of several months. A very
successful farmer, a strong supporter of the conservative party and a very
prominent member of the Loyal Orange Lodge, his passing removes an
outstanding citizen. The funeral service is to take place to the Bethany
United Church on Sunday afternoon. In poor health
for some months, the deceased suffered a stroke around the Christmas season
and since that time had several milder attacks. Mr. Goodman was
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Goodman and before going to North
Fredericksburgh, resided for a year in Napanee. In early life he evinced a
strong interest in the better things of life and was a prominent member of
the Bethany United Church, was a member of the official board and for many
years took an exceptional interest in Sunday School work, both in Bethany and
Gretna, and for some years was superintendent of the Bethany Sunday School.
He took a great interest in Orangeism and was a
member of Bayside Lodge, holding the office of chaplain. The funeral on
Sunday will be in charge of the brethren of his lodge. Mr. Goodman was

Gordanier, James Lewis Philander |
Obituary - We
regret to have to chronicle this week the demise of an old and respected resident,
in the person of James Lewis Philander Gordanier, of Morven. He was of U.E.
Loyalist, extraction and had lived all his lifetime of 87 years upon the farm
upon which he was born, the property having been continuously in the
possession of his family for four generations and occupied by them during
that time. He was a man of extraordinary energy and physique, and always
active up to the time of his death, which was caused by paralysis. He was a
great admirer of the horse and bred and owned many of the best type. He was a
Methodist in religion, a staunch Reformer in politics, and a good citizen. He
was beloved by all those who associated with him and knew him, his happy
disposition and friendly manner always bringing sunshine and happiness
wherever he went. He was twice married, having by his first wife, Orinda
Bicknell, two sons, Alfred and Lewis (the latter demised) and his second
wife, Armintha Caton, two
children, James Almon and Addie, all of whom, mourn
the irreparable loss of a kind, indulgent and loving father and husband. To
each and all of them we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of deep
sorrow and sadness. |

Death of Mrs.
Gould In Her 93rd Year. - Mrs. Peter
Gould, one of Napanee’s oldest residents, died suddenly at her home on Centre
Street on Friday morning. Mrs. Gould,
who was in her 93rd year, had been extremely active and her death
was quite unexpected. The previous
Sunday she had been at church and Sunday School, but during the week
following, complained of a slight cold.
On Friday morning, as she was being assisted with her dressing, she
suddenly sank back on her bed, dead. Her death
removes a familiar and much respected resident of the town. Mrs. Gould, who
was formerly Mary Dorn, was born in Russia, New York State, where she married
Peter Gould in 1879, who predeceased her in 1908. About 40 years ago, with her husband, she
moved to Napanee, from Empey Hill, where Mr. Gould
has been operating a cheese factory.
When they came to Napanee they opened a small grocery store on Centre
Street, just north of the place where Mrs. Gould died. Later, they operated a
grocery business on the west side of the market square, until Mr. Gould died. Mrs. Gould had
no children, but the late Mrs. Ross Sexsmith, who died about five years ago,
was an adopted daughter. She is
survived by one sister, Mrs. E. B. Memstreet, of
Toronto. Other members of the family
who pre-deceased her were her sisters, Mrs. Henry Wilson, Mrs. Jacob Clapp
and Mrs. Rev. Wood, and two brothers.
Miss Madge Clapp of Waubashene is a niece
and Mrs. M. J. Bates, Mrs. J. M. Rose and Mr. M. M. Empey
are cousins. A characteristic
of Mrs. Gould was her love for her church.
Rain or shine she was to be found in her accustomed place in Grace
United Church at almost every service.
Quite recently she was presented in Grace Church Sunday School, with a
certificate in recognition of 21 years regular attendance. Mention of this remarkable achievement,
accompanied by a picture of Mrs. Gould, will be found in next Sunday’s copy
of the “Onward”. On Sunday a
large number of citizens and members of Grace church gathered in the church
to pay their last respects to Mrs. Gould.
The minister, Rev. W. P. Woodger, conducted
the service and Mrs. Harold Dennison sang an appropriate number, “Sweet
Peace.” |

Mrs. Grace, wife
of Mr. Wm Grace, clerk of the high court of justice, died at Lindsay on
Sunday, 8th inst,., at the comparatively early age of 54
years. Mrs. Grace, whose maiden name
was Bessie M. Dorland, was born in Adolphustown, on the Bay of Quinte, in
1836, her parents being well connected United Empire Loyalists. In 1860 she married Mr. Grace, who was then
in business at Lindsay. The deceased
lady was always most active in all good works calculated to advance the moral
welfare of the community, and in consequence had the respect and esteem of
all irrespective of creed. The
deceased lady has been a sufferer for a number years, and her death was not
unexpected, yet the sad news cast a gloom over a large circle of
friends. Her husband, three daughters
and one son mourn their loss. |

Graham, Oliver |
GRAHAM, Oliver,
of Fredericksburgh, was found dead yesterday in a marsh near his home. The
jury at the inquest returned a verdict of wilful murder
against a person or persons unknown. Mr. Graham was a UEL of nearly 81. He
had 10 children; 4 in the US; one at the Short Hills above Toronto; one at
Brighton; 2 back of Brockville; one on the Ottawa River, 1 at home. Murder! We beg
the attention of our contemporaries to the following account. To the Editor of
the Upper Canada Herald, Richmond, 13th August, 1838 Sir - You are
requested to insert in your paper, for the information of his family, who
live at a distance, that Mr. Oliver Grahams, of Fredericksburgh, was
yesterday found dead in a marsh, near his place of residence. An inquest was
held before J.W. Ferguson, Esq., Coroner, and after due enquiry being made, a
verdict of Wilful Murder, against some person or
persons unknown, was given by the Jury. Mr. Grahams was an old U.E. Loyalist,
nearly 81 years of age; has ten children - four
living in the United States, one at the Short Hills above Toronto, one near
Brighton, two back of Brockville, and one on the Ottawa River. The
circumstances attending his death are truly appalling. The old man and one of
his sons lived together alone on a small piece of land, which, owing to the
unusual height of the Bay, is this year completely surrounded with water. The
son had gone out to work in harvest - he left here on Monday and returned on
Saturday evening, and could find nothing of his Father. - His bed lay on the
floor, on which was his clothes where he had left them on going to bed. This
of course caused suspicion at once, and search was made during the night and
until the following morning, when his body was found with evident marks of
violence thereon. It appeared in evidence that a person (who is at times
insane,) was seen making his way to the old man's house, and was heard to say
that he was going there to cross the river. This was late on Thursday
afternoon, and strong suspicions rest that he was the perpetrator of the
deed. This man was bare-footed, and similar tracks were found in the marsh
through which he had to wade in order to get to the house. I am, Sir, yours
&c., D. Roblin. |

passed over the village and community of Selby, when it was learned of the death

she rendered, she was presented with a Life Membership. She was also keenly interested in the
temperance movement and was a faithful member of the W.C.T.U. and for many
years took part in the work of the Sunday School. Besides her
sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss a step-daughter, Mrs. Carlton
Dafoe, of Lime Lake, her aged mother, Mrs. Caroline Lockridge,
of Wesley, one brother Kenneth, and one sister; Nellie, (Mrs. John Wartman), all of Wesley. The funeral

deceased, on Saturday afternoon. The remains were
laid to rest in Camden V. Cemetery, to await the resurrection morn. (Selby) - A sad gloom passed over the village and
neighborhood on Friday morning, when the news quickly spread of the sudden
passing away of Mrs. J. Grange, Selby West.
Although not in good health for the past few years, she was around, as
usual, and was taken suddenly worse on Thursday evening, and on Friday
morning passed away. Her death was a
great shock to the family and friends.

her aged mother, Mrs. C. Lockridge, and one
brother, Kenneth and family, who resides with his mother, and one sister,

Late John E.
Griffith, Sillsville, Napanee Beaver At Sillsville,
South Fredericksburgh, on Sunday, March 16th, there passed away a
highly respected resident in the person of John E. Griffith, youngest son of
Gilbert and Flora Griffith. In early life he matriculated from Napanee high
school, then attended Belleville College, and was graduated from that
institution the same year as the late Dr. Dorland. He then entered a law firm
in London. From close confinement and hard study he passed through a trying
illness, came back to recuperate on the old farm. Being frail from birth, he
never regained his former health, but died as he wished, on the farm where he
was born. He was of U.E.L. descent on both sides, his grandfather being a
nephew of Philip Embury, of precious memory. A few years ago he suffered the
loss of his eyesight and being an inverate reader,
he felt the blow very keenly, although he never complained. He was also an
expert in shorthand, having written the Book of Psalms in book form by an
ordinary lamp at night, which his friends concluded was the cause for losing
his sight. Then the loss of his home by fire was another blow from which he
never recovered. Thus one by one our friends are passing. |

On the 21st of April, there passed away to peaceful
rest the last of Sir John A. McDonald's school mates of the old U. E. L.
school house, which they attended away back before they struck their teens,
in the person of Mrs. Amey Gunsolus, (nee Amey Allison),
sister of the late D. W. Allison, ex- M.P., Mrs. Gunsolus
had reached the ripe age of 89 years, 2 months and 11 days. She leaves three
brothers and two sisters to mourn her loss, Cyrus Allison, Ex-warden of the
county; Joseph Allison, both of Adolphustown; and Edward Allison, of Fort
Perry; Mrs. Triden, of Kingston, and Mrs. W. N.
Mallory, of Adolphustown. The remains were
placed in the mausoleum, on the 23d, now belonging
to the heirs of her late brother, D. W. Allison, and erected by him in 1873
at a cost of six thousand dollars, - there to wait the sounding of the
trumpet at the last day, when if a million years or more should elapse in the
interval, the time spent in this sweet sleep would not seem any longer to the
just that the twinkling of an eye. Her sermon was preached by Rev. M. Boyce,
who did justice to one so worthy of it, at the U. E. L. Memorial Methodist
church of this place. She had lived all these years, and lived and died a
Christian without a spot on her character. The U. E. L.
school house, referred to above, has long since passed away by fire, and the butment stones are still to be seen where it stood, on
the property now owned by Frederick Membery, of this place, and about 100
yards east on the road side of the U. E. L. Memorial Anglican church, in the
village of Adolphustown, Mrs. Gunsolus, on the last
day of February last, gave Mr. Membery her recollections of the school house,
the teachers, the attendants, who came here from Kingston, Ernesttown, and a
wide range from her, with the names of many of the scholars, for the Historic
Society of Lennox and Addington , at Napanee, and the same has been forwarded
to the Secretary, Mr. Clarence Warner, and the receipt of it has been
acknowledged by him. She signed her name with a steady hand, and her mind was
as clear as ever. The funeral was
the largest seen for years, the church being crowded beyond seating room. The
pallbearers were Messrs, J. W. Dorland, W. S. Duffett, Fred. Membery, Jacob
H. Roblin, Daniel Davern and Alex. Hazlett. - Com. |

Guy, Robert |
THE LATE ROBERT
GUY - Many expressions of sorrow have been given at the death of one of the
most respected citizens of Camden East, Mr. Robert Guy. He died at his home in the early morning of
November 3rd last. Mr. Guy’s
father, William Guy, was born May 16th, 1808 and lived at Beith, Scotland.
His mother, Margaret Gardner, also of Beith,
was born April 11th 1809. They were married on December 3rd,
1833. Robert Guy was
the third son, and was born on March 23rd, 1839. He was 80 years, 7 months, and 10 days old
when he died. He had seven brothers
and three sisters, but he outlived them all.
He left his home at Beith when he was nine
years old (1848), and entered as an apprentice in tailoring and cutting with
his eldest brother, William, at Johnston, Scotland. He remained at this business for thirteen
years, when he moved to Glasgow to enter business for himself. He conducted business there for eleven
years, from 1861 to 1872, when he decided to try his lot in the New
World. While in Glasgow he was a very
active member of the Independent Order of Grand Templars,
having been head of that organization in the city. On his departure to this country he was
presented with a large engraved silver medal as a token of the esteem in
which he was held in that organization.
He sailed from
Glasgow on December 24th, 1872, arriving at Quebec on the 14th
of January. After spending a few days
there and at Montreal he decided to go to Prescott, Ont., where he worked at
his trade with Edward Mundell. After a few months he went to Ottawa with
Holbrook. On the last day that year,
1873, he married Mary Catherine Dunbar, of Spencerville. In the early
part of 1875 he decided to take up a business at Portage du Fort, Quebec,
where he resided for eleven years, coming to Camden East in 1886, where he
lived the rest of his life. He carried
on a tailoring and fancy goods business, later extending to groceries and
confectionary. He leaves a
widow and four children, Mary Patterson Guy, now living at Winnipeg; William A. Guy, Presbyterian minister at
Swift current, Sask.; Robert Dunbar
Guy, lawyer in the firm of Moran, Anderson and Guy, Winnipeg, and George Lorne Guy, Consulting Electrical
Engineer, also of Winnipeg. He was a self educated
man, having left school at nine years.
He studied incessantly during his spare time, having a wonderful
mathematical brain. Problems involving
higher Algebra, especially the Calculus and trigonometry were a favorite past
time. In his early years he studied
music and could play and sing fairly well.
He could speak French as fluently as English, speaking both languages
with great grammatical precision. He was a
Presbyterian in religion, a member of the Independent Order of United Workmen
and the Ancient Free and Accepted masons, by which body his funeral services
were conducted. |
