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.

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. |

LIVED ALONE - FRANK GALLAGHER DIES IN
FIRE - A well-known South Fredericksburgh township man, Frank Gallagher, 81,
died in a fire which destroyed his 10-room frame house Saturday evening. Firemen were called to the scene, from
Bath, about 7.15 o’clock. An inquest
may be held. Mr. Gallagher had lived
in the house, on 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 remaining in the house during his lifetime. Mr. Gallagher’s wife, the former Edith Anne
Amey, predeceased him, and he lived alone.

two-storey large frame house on County Road 8. A neighbour discovered the
fire about 7:30 p.m. and notified Bath fire department and police. The home was leveled before firemen
arrived, however. One resident of the area told The
Whig Standard she had passed the house about 7:30 but noticed no fire. The
building was completely burned before 8 o’clock, she said. The body is resting at Wartman

the advanced age of 81 years, one month and ten days. Deceased who had not been in good

weeks. She was the youngest daughter
and the last surviving member of the late Hiram S. Smith and Elizabeth

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

community. She was a former member of
the McDowell memorial Presbyterian Church, later uniting with the Hawley

the Maple Leaf Women’s Institute. The funeral service, which was
largely attended, took place from her late residence on Thursday at 2:00

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

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.

had one son, who died at the farm of his uncle, Wm. Pull, twenty years ago.
Her last husband was Samuel Garner, once a resident of Napanee, who survives
her and is now an old and feeble man. The funeral was conducted by the
"Brethren" of which she was
a faithful member since the days of the late Lord Cecil in Adolphustown. Her
grandfather, Capt. Maybee, and her father, Noxon Harris, were both prominent

Mrs. Gerow, afterwards Mrs. Wm. Pull, so many years the popular and well
known landlady of the old Adolphustown hotel, with which the deceased was
also quite intimately connected for many years. Both sisters were well known
and highly respected by the travelling public a generation or two ago.

Garrison, George |
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. |

OBITUARY - Mrs. George Garrison. The death 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 children, four of whom are living, George
Asselstine Moscow, born April 8th 1835; John Asselstine, Collins Bay, 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.
Warner, in Colebrook, remaining there until the breaking up of that home two
years ago, and since then living with her other daughter, Mrs. F. S. Wartman,
Napanee. Mrs. Garrison was one of the oldest
inhabitants of Huffman Street, two miles east of Moscow village, and was well
known in that section. 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, Napanee; her other daughter, Mrs. A. C. Warner
predeceased her nearly two years ago.

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. |

- Died at her father’s residence, 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. Stevenson.

Geo. Milton, only child of Wm. German, aged 18 years. The Late George Milton German - Died,
at the residence of Mr. Edmund Rendell, North Fredericksburgh, on February 14th
, 1885, George Milton German. The subject of this 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 in**) cemetery.
May the Lord comfort the bereaved family and bring them to enjoy a happy
reunion in heaven. J. E. ROBESON, Napanee April 2nd 1885.

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
version] At Adolphustown, on the 11th
inst., Mrs. Margaret Smith German, wife of Mr. Matthew German, aged 37.

to Riverside cemetery.
Obituary - 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.

of Adolphustown. When a young man he studied for the profession of land
surveying and civil engineering and accompanied his father, as assistant, on
government surveys. But on account of defective hearing he 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 nieces, Mrs. A.R. Clark,

TWO YOUNG MEN 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 undiscovered.

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.

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. Fleming, Henry Hitchins, Bert Glenn and Maurice Hogeboom.

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

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

filled for the service. Close friends
of the deceased were flower bearers and there were many beautiful floral
tributes. Miss Letha Scott, choir
leader of Grace Church, was present with the choir and Mrs. B. M. Black

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. -

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.”

Lifting Heavy 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.

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

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

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. |

Respected Resident of Selby Passes -
MRS. JOHN GRANGE A sad gloom passed over the village and
community of Selby, when it was learned of the death of Mrs. Grange, which
occurred at her home near Selby, on Thursday evening. Mrs. Grange had been in ill-health
for the past two years and for the past few months her condition had been
quite serious. A staunch worker in everything
pertaining to the good of the district, she will be greatly missed and
particularly in the Selby United Church, where she took part in many of its
activities. A daughter of Caroline Cobourn
and the late John L. Lockridge, Mrs. Grange was a native of the Township of
Camden, her home being in the Newburgh district. Twenty-one years ago she was united
in marriage to Mr. Grange of Selby, where she resided until her death. She at once identified herself with church
work and took a prominent part in the Women’s Missionary Society, which
office she filled with much capability.
Recognizing the efficient services which 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 services were held in
Selby United Church, conducted by Rev. H. W. Foley, and assisted by Rev. T.
H. P. Anderson, of Newburgh, a former pastor of the 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.
Mrs. Grange, before her marriage, was Miss Maggie Lockridge, of
Wesley. Besides her sorrowing husband,
she leaves one step-daughter, Mrs. Carleton Dafoe, of Lime Lake, and her aged
mother, Mrs. C. Lockridge, and one brother, Kenneth and family, who resides
with his mother, and one sister, Mrs. John a. Wartman, all of Wesley. The family have our sympathy in their

on until a few years ago. He took an
active part in public and municipal affairs, and was a member of the county
council of Leeds and Grenville for eleven years, representing South Crosby as
reeve for nine years, and commissioner for two years for North and South

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.

William Gunn The death of William Gunn occurred on
Tuesday evening at his residence on Bagot street. He had been in failing
health for some months and succumbed to a stroke of paralysis. The late Mr.
Gunn was born in Kingston seventy-four years ago and was a son of the late
William Gunn, clerk of the Surrogate Court. He graduated from the College of
Pharmacy and entered business here with the firm so long known as Heath &
Gunn. In 1894 he became chief pharmacist at the Portsmouth penitentiary,
retiring on account of ill-health in 1913. At that institution he instituted
modern methods in the medical department, and the hospitals for the sick and
insane, which were under his supervision, were models for order and the
maintenance of strict discipline, and the highest state of sanitation was
maintained at all times. Mr. Gunn’s system was recognized and adopted
throughout the other penitentiaries of Canada, after many foreign prison
hospital systems has been considered. The deceased was an Anglican in
religion and a member of St. George’s Cathedral congregation. He was one of Kingston’s
most estimable gentlemen, refined and courteous in bearing and possessing an
acute sense of propriety at all times. He was highly respected by all with
whom he came in contact. He is survived by his wife, who was Amanda Hawley,

Gunsolus, Amey
(nee
Allison) |
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.
