Hagerman, Abraham |
The death of Abe
Hagerman, who passed away at the Belleville General Hospital on Saturday,
October 31st, has occasioned deep regret among those who knew
him. Mr. Hagerman was seriously
injured at the Trenton Airport when he was hit by flying debris caused by the
cyclone and he received severe injuries to the head. The late Mr.
Hagerman was born at Bath, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Hagerman
who reside on a farm which was deeded to them from the Government. Going to Oshawa, 13 years ago, Mr. Hagerman
was employed on the trim and hardware line of General Motors. While there he was a member of Cedardale United Church and a member of the choir. He was also a member of the Independent
Order of Forresters and of the Orange Order. He had a host of friends and a number of
relatives in and around the city. Mr.
and Mrs. Hagerman and son Roy moved to Trenton a year ago and he had been
employed at the airport ever since. He
was a member of Bayside Church, Trenton and a member of the choir there. Mrs. Hagerman was at the church the
Thursday afternoon when she received word of her husband’s accident. Besides the
bereaved wife, who was formerly Miss Jennie Pinney,
daughter of Mrs. Ross Pinney and the late William Pinney, Sharps Corners, he leaves to mourn his loss, one
son, Roy; his parents;
five brothers, Edward of Toronto, Leonard of Oshawa, Alexander,
Mountain Grove, John, Bath, Borden, Bath;
two sisters, Mrs. Pearl Kitchen, Huntsville, Lorraine, Bath. The funeral was
held from the family residence, 1st Concession, Sidney Township on
Tuesday, November 3rd with service at the house at 1 p.m. to Selby
United church for service at 3 p.m.
Rev. James Plant of Bayside assisted by Dr. Smith conducted the
service and the choir from Bayside contributed a couple of anthems. Rev. M. Plant delivered a very comforting
message from the text “Blessed is that servant whom, when his Lord cometh,
shall find watching,” and paid a high tribute to the life and character of
the deceased. He also read letters of
sympathy received by the family from former pastors, Rev. Mr. McDermid of Cedardale Church,
Oshawa, and Rev. T. H. P. Anderson. At the
conclusion of the service, which was one of the largest in the point of
attendance held in the church for a number of years, the funeral cortege motored
to the cemetery at Camden V. where interment was made. The floral tributes
were beautiful and were carried into the church by eight of Roy’s school
friends. IN LOVING MEMORY
- In loving memory of my dear husband, Abraham a. Hagerman, who passed away on
October 31st, 1936 from injuries received by the tornado at the
Trenton Airport……Wife and Son, Roy. |

HAIGHT – At
Toronto on Tuesday, 25th June, at the residence of his son, Mr.
Canniff Haight, a native of Adolphustown, aged 76 years. OBITUARY – MR.
CANNIFF HAIGHT – A native of Adolphustown, and for many years a prominent
citizen of Picton, and afterwards a resident of Toronto, died on Tuesday
evening last at the residence of his son, Mr. W. R. Haight, Toronto, aged 76
years. He married Miss Jane Ingersoll,
daughter of the late Isaac Ingersoll, of the front of Fredericksburgh, who
survives him with four sons. He was a
man of more than ordinary intelligence and of extensive reading and travel. He was the author of two quite popular
books. His “Canadian Life of Fifty Years ago”, gives some very interesting
sketches of habits and customs, especially of the people of this county
during the first half of this century.
He was of U.E. L. stock and was much interested in the early history
and traditions of the pioneers of this province. One of his last duties performed was to
spend some weeks, a year ago, among the archives at Washington, copying and
arranging a number of valuable manuscripts of the correspondence and claims
of the first Loyalists, which will soon be published by the Historical
Society. Canniff Haight,
who died June 25th 1901, was the son of Shadrick Ricketson Haight, (son of
Daniel Haight, U.E.L., who settled in Adolphustown) and his wife Mary,
daughter of James Canniff U.E.L. He was born 4th June, 1825. Resided in
Picton, County of Prince Edward, and subsequently in Toronto; was a
journalist, and author ("Country Life in Canada Fifty Years Ago;"
"A genealogy of the Haight family," etc.; transcribed with his own
hand the MS. Reports of the Commissioners on U.E.L. Claims which were lost
for many years, and are now in the Congressional Library at Washington, a
work in which he was engaged from some months under the direction of Mr.
James Bain, Public Librarian, Toronto, and with the assistance of this
Association. He married, 23rd June, 1852, Jane Casey, daughter of Isaac
Ingersoll, of Fredericksburgh, and granddaughter of Willet Casey, M.L.A., and
had issue. |

Hospital on Wednesday March 4 1914, Jane Casey Ingersoll, widow of the late
Canniff Haight, in her 87th year. Funeral private on Saturday from
the residence of her son, W. H. Haight, 669 Huron Street. DEATH OF WIDOW
OF LATE CANNIFF HAIGHT - WELL KNOWN WRITER ON PIONEER LIFE RECALLED - IN HER
87TH YEAR -- Death came yesterday to Mrs. Canniff Haight, in her
eighty-seventh year, at Lyndhurst Hospital, after a comparatively short
illness, although she had been somewhat infirm on account of advanced age for
some time. The passing of Mrs. Haight recalled the work of her talented
husband who perhaps did more to visualize Canadian pioneer life in Ontario
than any other single contributor to Canadian literature. His work "Country
Life in Canada Fifty Years Ago", written in 1885 and "Here and
There in the Home Land - England, Scotland and Ireland - as Seen By a
Canadian", written in 1895, are to be found in nearly every Canadian
public library. The late Mrs. Haight, like her husband, was a descendant of
UE Loyalist stock and was born at Adolphustown, Lennox County in 1826.
Although she had lived in Toronto since 1872, many years of her life were
spent in Picton, Ont. She married Mr. Haight in Fredericksburgh in 1852 and
is survived by four sons, Messrs. W.R. Haight, Toronto; H. H. Haight,
Scranton Penn, USA; W. L. Haight, Crown Attorney at Parry Sound and C. P.
Haight of Toronto. The interment, which will be private, takes place in St.
James Cemetery on Saturday from the residence of her son, Mr. W.R. Haight,
Huron Street. |

Pte. J. A.
Haines - Pts. Bert Haines was born in Camden Ontario September 25th
1895 and died on the field of Flanders January 5th 1917. Pte Haines was
of a kind and loving disposition always willing to lend a helping hand and
was well liked by young and old of the neighborhood of Anderson, where he
lived for the past fifteen years. A letter from
the Lieut. of his Battalion, M. B. Thornhill, says of him, “That he was
unassuming, quiet, always calm and collected while
under fire.” Bert was one of the brave
boys, who thought that liberty and freedom were better than life under
Prussian rule. He therefore
voluntarily left his father’s home and went to a foreign land to do his bit
for King and Country. A memorial
service was held last Sunday in Anderson Church. The church was crowded with sympathizing
friends and the address given by his Pastor, Rev. W. S. Boyes,
B. A., was full of sympathy and patriotism.
It was a masterly address from the text “Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for another.” He threw his
living breast to stem the German tide.
This volunteer
from Canada he fought as veteran tried. He met the boast
of William’s host He met them hand
to hand. This volunteer
of Canada, this boy from our land. When men come
back from war’s grim track And silent is
the gun I’ll look with
pride on him that died And say he was

Hales, William |
WILLIAM HALES
(Kingston) - Was born in Kingston, and on the 19th of last
November reached the age of forty-nine.
After lingering for six weeks with a tumor on the brain, sometimes
conscious and sometimes unconscious, and often in great agony of pain, he
slept in the arms of his Redeemer on Saturday, Dec. 18th, 1886; and having spent
many Sabbaths of delight in the Church upon earth, he went to spend the
following Sabbath with the “Church triumphant,” in that “building of God,” that “house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens.” All through his
affliction his faith in Christ was firm and his hope was bright. One morning, when so far gone that he spoke
with great difficulty, he asked for water, and when his dry lips, parched
tongue and languid body were refreshed, his eye brightened, and he said,
“That reminds me of the streams which make glad . . . “ He was evidently thinking of the “river the
streams whereof shall make glad the City of God.” An unusually large number of friends,
including the Society of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, attended the
funeral, and the memorial service held about two weeks afterwards in the
church. The discourse of his pastor on
the last-named occasion was based on Amos v. 8. The central idea set forth in the discourse
being that the shadow of death will be turned for the Christian into the
morning of heavenly day. Bro. Hales
had lived nearly twenty-two years of happy married life; and besides his faithful, affectionate
companion, leaves two daughters and a son, nearly grown to maturity and much
respected. Ever after God took away his dear little boy, six
years of age, his mind was seriously turned toward the “sweet by-and-bye,”
when he expected to see the budding rose-bush which had been plucked from his
side on earth blooming in full angelic splendor in the gardens of
heaven. Before his conversion, which
occurred about eleven years ago, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Porter, he
was exceedingly lively; and after his conversion became a lively Christian -
a “lively stone” in God’s spiritual house.
In Kingston Fourth Church our departed brother took an intense
interest, being a member of the Quarterly Board, an efficient class-leader,
and for some time society steward. The
Board of the church passed a tender resolution of condolence to his family,
and appreciative of his usefulness, as well as deploring his death as a
personal bereavement. He was a
soul-winner, faithful at the family altar, and a willing worker in the
church, while a happy cheerfulness pervaded his life. It was truly touching to see little
children who had plucked his garments and shared his smile upon the street,
come and weep to notice the face of their merry friend so fixed and
solemn. They sorrowed most of all,
knowing that they should see his face no more. Almost every person loved him, because he
loved them. [signed] Reuben Stilwell. |

The Late Mrs.
Hall We are called
upon to record the death of Mrs. Wm. Hall, mother of Mr. W.F. Hall, secretary
of the Napanee Mills Paper Co., which event took place on Tuesday last. The deceased
lady was born in the year 1804 in South Fredericksburgh, and came of good old
U.E. Loyalist stock. Her maiden name was Mary Diamond, and her family is
noted for its longevity of life. She was the youngest of a family of six, two
of which are still living in Belleville, William and John Diamond, aged
respectively 85 and 90 years. She removed to Richmond in 1842, and was united
in marriage with Wm. Hall, and became the mother of seven children, three
sons and four daughters, all living.
Mrs. H. was a life-long Methodist. Her last illness was of only a
week's duration. A large procession followed the remains to the Napanee
Cemetery, Rev. D. Conolly performing the burial services. |

Hall, Sarah Eliza (nee Smith) |
The Late Mrs.
W.F. Hall One of Napanee's
oldest and best known residents passed away Monday afternoon, when Mrs. W.F.
Hall died at her home on the Newburgh Road. Mrs. Hall had
reached the advanced age nearly eighty-nine. For the past few years she had
been practically confined to her home, but had retained, in a remarkable way,
the use of her faculties, a fine mental alertness and a keen interest in all
that was going on. Her last illness was of brief duration and she passed
quietly away after a long and useful life. Before her
marriage, Mrs. Hall was Sarah Eliza Smith. She was one of four daughters of
the late Geo. I. Smith and his wife, Mary Ann Huyck, all of whom have now
passed on. She was born in North Fredericksburgh Township and removed to
Napanee with her parents when they retired, over sixty years ago. Shortly after
coming to Napanee, she married the late W.F. Hall, who at that time was
secretary-treasurer of the Paper Company at Napanee Mills, now Strathcona.
Later, Mr. Hall conducted an insurance business in Napanee, and was
interested in other enterprises. Mr. Hall died about eleven years ago. The association
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hall with Trinity United church was one of long and
honorable standing. Their life history was closely connected with the life
history of the church during more than half a century. For many years, Mr.
Hall was recording steward of the old Eastern Methodist Church, which later
became Trinity United Church. For twenty-one years, Mrs. Hall was president
of the Ladies' Aid a position from which she retired only eleven years ago.
Their service was given in unstinted measure and was typical of service of a
large group of similarly minded people, who made the building of the present
church a possibility. Mrs. Hall is
survived by four daughters and one son; Mrs. Myers of Toronto, Miss Florence,
at home, Mrs. Madden, the wife of Judge J. E. Madden, Napanee, Mrs. Challies, wife of the Hon, G.H. Challies,
and Mr. Ernest, of Winnipeg, general storekeeper of the western lines of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. The funeral
service is being conducted at the home on Thursday afternoon, with Rev. Harry
Pawson, minister of Trinity United Church, in
charge. |

Ham, Benjamin |
Died - At his
residence, Willow Glen, Ernestown, on Saturday evening, the 9th of November,
after a most severe and painful illness, Benjamin Ham, Esq., aged 65 years. Benjamin Ham was
the seventh son (the last of eight brothers) of John Ham, a U.E. Loyalist,
who came to Canada from the Hudson river in the year 1780 and took possession
of the estate lately occupied by the deceased. The family
were originally German, the ancestors having emigrated to America from
Hanover, Germany, and Mr. Ham always prided himself upon his German descent.
Besides being deeply mourned by a wife and family, to whom he was fondly
attached, Mr. Ham's loss is keenly felt in the neighborhood where he lived,
and looked upon by the community as a public calamity. As a devoted husband
and kind, indulgent father, a christian gentleman
and obliging neighbor, his loss will be felt more and more. He was a member
of the Lutheran Church, but always gave liberally to all denominations. In politics,
Mr. Ham belonged to the old school of Reformers, and always adhered to his
principles with the most rigid independence, forgetting self, and striving
with genuine sincerity to benefit his country and fellow man. Upright and honourable he always was, and of such strict integrity
that it became a favorite saying of his friends and neighbors, that his word
was as good as his bond. His disease was of the heart and his suffering heart
rending to behold, but he relied upon the Saviour of all who will, and his
prayer to the very last moment was "Lord, come quickly." He has
gone to his rest, leaving no earthly doubt but that a crown of glory awaited
him in Heaven. |

devoted member of St. Paul’s church and last year was the efficient president
of the Women’s Auxiliary, which position she regretfully relinquished on
account of failing health. Because her character so aptly illustrated the
good, the true and the beautiful, her life and her example will long be held

beloved husband of Elizabeth Crews, and dear father of Katherine and Thomas
at home in his 49th year.
Resting at the residence of his father, George T. Ham, South Fredericksburgh

St. Paul’s Cemetery. Ex-R've Frank Ham Died Suddenly
Kingston Hospital - Attended County Council From South Fred. For Nearly 4
years - With the death
of Frank N. Ham of Conway in Kingston General Hospital on Saturday, April
19th, the Township of South Fredericksburgh and the County of Lennox and
Addington lost one of its most progressive citizens. Mr. Ham who was
only 49 years of age suffered an attack of coronary thrombosis in 1949. He
was in the Hospital for some time, but appeared to have made a good recovery.
Some weeks ago he returned to the hospital for a check-up and treatment and
just before he was scheduled to return home had to undergo a rather serious
operation. He was reported to be making satisfactory progress until he
suffered a heart attack and passed away. Mr. Ham was born
at Conway and was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ham. His father's family have been identified with the public life of the
Township for several generations. His grandfather Ira Ham was Reeve of the
Township of South Fredericksburgh in 1873. His father George T. Ham was clerk
of the Township for 29 years. Frank Ham was Reeve of South Fredericksburgh
from 1944 to 1949. During his last year as Reeve he became ill and had to
give up public life. During the time he was a member of the county Council he
served on several important committees and had considerable to do with the
formation of the county Health Unit, on the Board of which he acted for a few
years. Many farm organizations in the county received his active support as
well as St. Paul's Anglican Church at Sandhurst, of which he was a member. Mr. Ham is
survived by his wife, formerly Elizabeth Crews, by two children, Katherine
and Thomas, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ham and four sisters, Mrs.
Maurice Young, Sandhurst, Mrs. H. C. Hunter, Kingston and Mrs. Mary Smith of
Denver, Colorado and Miss Margaret Ham, Toronto. His funeral was
conducted by Rev. Henry Hill, at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Sandhurst, on
Tuesday afternoon and interment followed in St. Paul's Cemetery. Attending the
funeral were many friends from the County. County Council members and County
officials. Tribute to Frank
Ham - to the Editor - One of those periods
of sorrow and gloom which periodically visit all communities, this week fell
on the Ham family, Conway. The death of Frank Ham is a deep loss to the whole
neighborhood. Frank Ham, son
of Mr. and Mrs. George Ham, died in Kingston General Hospital, Saturday,
April 19th. His body was returned to his home to-day (Sunday) and the funeral
will take place at St. Paul's Church, Sandhurst, April
22nd at 2:30 p.m. He had been in
ill-health for some time but faced all in great hopefulness. Frank, as
everyone knew him, was what we might term a mutation in our community. His
nature refused to be fettered by the past. His methods cut across old custom
and established practice. He pioneered new methods. Machinery fascinated him
and he employed it beyond any previously established practice in our
neighborhood. He studied crops and soils and fertility and drainage and
rations. Any problem was a challenge and he sought the answer. What seemed
the impossible to many was a spur to him and he sought to prove its practicability. Defeatism and surrender, when an
undertaking went foul and unforeseen difficulties arose, was not in his
nature. Frank was
essentially a man of the community. He was a member of the Anglican church, a
leading Mason and gave much time and effort to Agricultural organization. He
was also Reeve of our Township for several years. To the public
and in our neighbourhood, his greatest attribute was perhaps Friendliness. He
possessed a magnetism that compelled respect even in disagreement. A
neighbour he was to all - a Good Samaritan. If it is better
to have loved and lost than to have never loved, Frank had loved. he was not permitted to carry out and on to maturity of
years. Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Ham, his parents, and his wife and daughter and son, survive him. To
these we wish to extend our deepest sympathy. A

Ham - At South Fredericksburgh,
March 14th, 1899, George Ham, aged 86 years, 10 months and 26 days. GEORGE HAM ESQ.
- one of the oldest and most respected residents of South Fredericksburgh,
died at his residence, Conway P.O. on Tuesday, 14th inst., after a long and painful illness
which continued over a year. Mr. Ham was a life long
resident of this county, a descendant of one of the U.E.L. pioneers, who came
up the Bay of Quinte in 1784, and settled in what
was then an unbroken wilderness in the vicinity of Hamburgh. Deceased was a
son of Mr. John Ham, a prominent resident of the township, both in Christian
work and business affairs. He was in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He
was married fifty-nine years ago to Miss Pruyn, a sister of the late Sheriff
Pruyn, of this county, who survives him with their four children, Wm.
Thatford Ham, Esq., who lives a few lots west of the old homestead, Mrs.
Price., of Moorhead Minn, Mrs. Ross of Napanee, and
Miss Jennie Ham, residing at home. Mr. and Mrs. Ham soon after their marriage
settled on their newly acquired farm, at Conway, where they have always since
lived and became the oldest residents of the locality. He was a man of
intelligence and ability and of much influence in his day. It is said he was
Sir Richard Cartwright's choice for sheriff when this County was first
divided from Frontenac. In politics he was a staunch Conservative and used to
claim he never gave a vote to any other party in his life. He was a
consistent member of the Church of England and knew intimately every minister
who has ever labored in that parish. He was for many years and until the time
of his death Postmaster at Conway. By his industry and excellent business
ability he became a man of considerable wealth. Mrs. Solomon Wright and Mrs.
Byard Detlor are sisters and our townsman, Zina Ham and Mr. John Ham of
Albany N. Y. are surviving brothers. We have to
record the death of another of the pioneer settlers of South Fredericksburgh.
George Ham passing over to the great majority on Wednesday last. Deceased was
eighty-seven years of age and had lived all his long life in the township of
Fredericksburgh. He was also of old united empire loyalist stock and
connected with many of the leading families in this section, his wife being a
sister of the late sheriff Pruyn, of Napanee, who with a family of four
survive. They are: Mrs. Price, Mrs. Ross and Miss Jennie, at home and one
son, Thatford, a farmer in South Fredericksburgh. Two brothers and two
sisters also survive. They are Zina, Napanee; John, Albany, N.Y.; Mrs.
Solomon Wright and Mrs. Byard Detlor, both living in South Fredericksburgh.
Deceased was one of the most intelligent men of his day and a thrifty and
prosperous farmer. He was postmaster at Conway for a number of years and held
the position at the time of his death. He was a staunch conservative and a
consistent member of the English church. Deceased had been ailing for about a
year and his death was due to cancer of the stomach. The funeral took place
yesterday. |

was his gain. He was a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. A very

Death of Ira Ham We regret to
learn that Ira Ham, Esq., for many years the Reeve of South Fredericksburgh,
died at his residence, Hamburg, on Thursday, after a very long and painful
sickness of cancer. He has been
troubled with a cancer on his temple for over two years, and for more than a
year past it has been evident that, in the end, it must prove fatal. Mr. Ham was
a gentleman much respected and popular in his native township, and for years
was a leading spirit in the Conservative party in the municipality. He was at
one time Warden of Lennox and Addington, and in the County Council he had
much influence. He occupied a seat in the County Council for eight or ten
years, until January, '80, when his health had become so feeble as to make it
necessary for him to retire from public life. |

Sudden Death -
One of the most sudden and unexpected deaths that has occurred in Napanee for
years, was that of John D. Ham, last evening. For some time past his friends
have observed that he was falling rapidly, but no one had the slightest idea
that his end was so near at hand. About seven o'clock in the evening, in
company with his niece, Miss Hooper, he went for a short walk, and when near
the residence of Mrs. Ross on Centre street, he was taken with a faint spell.
He was immediately taken into Mrs. Ross and Dr. Grant sent for, who, with Dr.
Ruttan, did all in their power to restore him, but to no avail, and he passed
peacefully away. Deceased was in
his seventy-third year, and for the past half a century was one of the most
prominent men in our county, occupying the highest positions in the county
council and school board. Deceased leaves a faithful and sorrowing wife, who
has been a partner of his joys and sorrows and had much to do with his
eminently successful business career. Their only son died some years ago, and
at Mr. Ham's request he will probably be laid at his side in the family plot
at Newburgh on Monday next. The Late John D.
Ham (Napanee Express) The late John D.
Ham, who passed away so suddenly on Thursday, last week, was considered one
of the best business men in Lennox and Addington. He was a very prominent man
in the county, having occupied high positions in the county council and
school board. Deceased was born in Bath, on 27th March, 1823. In 1843 he
moved to Newburgh, where he went into the employ of Lasher & Stevenson,
serving but a short time before he was taken into partnership, the name of
the firm being changed to lasher, Stevenson & Ham. Mr. Lasher shortly
afterwards retired. In 1855, Mr. Ham and the late Hon. John Stevenson
dissolved partnership. Mr. Ham, however, continued in the mercantile business
until 1868. He was always a prominent conservative in politics and had on
different occasions been proposed as a candidate for M.P., but had refused.
Deceased leaves a sorrowing wife and a daughter, Mrs. Dr. Vrooman, Yarker.
Their only son died in 1858. The will of deceased was opened on Tuesday last.
Mrs. Ham and daughter are left amply provided for, while a number of friends
are also remembered. The executors are Messrs. James Haydon, Camden Eat and
Harvey Warner, Napanee. |

for, it came suddenly and as a shock. He was the last of one of the old
families of the County, was well known, and was possessed of more than the
average number of friends, who will miss his always cheery greeting and
pleasant smile. He had reached the age
seventy-five years and seven months.

The many friends
of George Hambly, a well-known and progressive Richmond farmer, will much
regret to learn of his death, which took place at Denver, Colorado, on Sunday
last, aged about thirty-three years. He was a son of Samuel Hambly, of South
Napanee, and has been all his lifetime a resident of this locality. For the
last few years he has been associated with his brother, John in hog and live stock dealing, and was well known throughout the
county. Some months ago he took sick, of consumption, and spent some time at
the sanitarium, at Gravenhurst, but received no
benefits. He was next prevailed upon to go to Denver, hoping to receive
benefit from the change of climate there. Last week his friends received
encouraging letters from him. On Saturday, however, a telegram came stating
that he was much worse and his brother John at once started to him. On Monday
the sad tidings came of his death, which must have occurred before his
brother could reach there. It is probable that the body will be brought back
to Napanee as soon as possible for burial. He was married to Miss Edna
Brandon, daughter of William Brandon, of the Selby road, who survives him,
with one son, but fourteen months old. |

ELIZABETH
McDONALD - Beloved wife of John Hannah, was born in Glengarry, May 17th,
1819, and departed this life in her quiet home near Mississippi Station,
March 28th, 1886. Our
departed sister was united in marriage to Mr. John Hannah, March 14th,
1845, and about two years after moved to their present residence,
and for over 41 years shared life’s joys and sorrow. It seemed sad to separate them even for a
short time. They had eight daughters
and three sons. One son has gone to rest, and ten affectionate children and a
loving husband mourn the departed, but do not mourn as those without
hope. “Tis
God who has bereft them, and he can all their sorrows heat.” All are members of our church except two,
and in her dying moments that dear son out of Christ was in her mind, and the hope that he would be led to Christ and meet
her in heaven, in her heart. It was
not possible for three daughters in the west to be present. Daniel, however, who was absent on the
“survey of the Brockville and Westport Railroad,” returned in time for the
funeral. May the whole family appear
on the “right hand” as they meet before the throne. Her disposition was not impulsive, but
rather retiring, and she was calm amidst the greatest suffering. She calmly fell asleep in Jesus with a
pleasing smile upon her countenance.
At eventide there was truly light.

Peter Hart Mrs. Peter Hart,
a resident of Roblin, passed away at Kingston General Hospital, on Saturday,
October 24th, where she had been taken one week ago. On October 4th a little son was
born to their home. Everything was favourable at first for a quick recovery, when
complications arose, and her condition became serious and she was moved to
Kingston General Hospital in Martin’s ambulance on October 18th. While there everything that skilful medical
attendance and careful nursing could do, was done, but it was of no avail,
and she passed peacefully away on Saturday, with perfect submission to the
will of God. The deceased was
Florence Pennell, daughter of Peter Pennell, of Roblin, and had spent all of
her lifetime in this vicinity, where she was widely known and highly
respected. She will be sadly missed by
her many friends and especially her husband and nine children, three girls and
six boys, the oldest seventeen years, and the youngest the tiny infant of
three weeks. Seldom has the
whole community been so saddened by a death as by Mrs. Hart’s death, at the
early age of 36 years and 10 months.
The funeral service was held in the Holiness Movement Church, where
Rev. C. J. Wilson preached a very impressive sermon, assisted by Rev. S. H.
Jeffrey. The church was crowded with
sympathetic friends. Sympathy and
sadness was written on everyone’s face, as they looked upon the little
helpless family left without the kind loving care of their mother. Besides her own family she leaves her
father and one brother, Ross Pennell, of Wilton to mourn her loss. Her remains were conveyed to the Roblin
cemetery and interred in the family plot. |

NELSON HART - The death
occurred at the home of his son, Nelson, on Wednesday morning, November 18th,
of Nelson Hart, one of Napanee’s oldest residents. The late Mr. Hart had been in ill health
for several months and was confined to his bed for several weeks. A son of Mr. and
Mrs. Darius Hart, he was one of a family of thirteen, and was born in this
county, where he was a successful farmer for a number of years. At the age of 22
years, he married Margaret Anne Thompson, of Roblin, who predeceased him
fourteen years ago. They lived, with
their family, near Roblin for a number of years. Leaving that district Mr. Hart purchased a
farm near Moscow and remained in that neighborhood for four years. Leaving
Moscow, he moved to the Anderson district where he and Mrs. Hart resided
until her death, six years later. The
family remained on the farm for three years and then Mr. Hart and his son
moved to Croydon, where they resided for four years, after which Mr. Hart
purchased the Roland Hawley farm on the Newburgh Road. After a life-time spent on the farm he
retired to enjoy a well-earned competence and came to Napanee, where he has
resided for the past three years. He
was a member of the United Church and a Conservative in politics. Until his illness he enjoyed exceptionally
good health and was a remarkable man for his age. He was exceptionally well known throughout
the northern parts of the county and was held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He leaves to mourn his loss eight
children, forty grandchildren and twenty great grand-children and one
brother, Miles Hart of Dresden. His children
are: Edward Hart of Roblin, Frank Hart
of Little Creek, Nelson Hart of Napanee, Alex. Hart, Croydon; Mrs. Marlin,
Tamworth; Mrs.
Will Smith, Centreville; Mrs.
Marshall, St. Catharines; and Mrs. Albert Young, Napanee. The funeral service was held on Friday

Hart, Peter |
Died at the Age
of 107 Years Peter Hart, Sr.,
died on Friday at the home of his son, Mr. Russell Hart, who resides about half
a mile north of the village of Roblin, at the ripe old age of 107 years.
Deceased was probably the oldest resident of this section and possibly the
oldest in the Province of Ontario. He was one of the earliest settlers of
these parts and distinctly remembered and worked upon the construction of the
old historical covered bridge, which formerly spanned the river at the east
end of Napanee. He was at that time a young man about eighteen years of age.
Besides helping to construct the old Grand Trunk Railway through this
section, he was one of the early pioneers who blazed the first trail north as
far as Roblin. At that time Napanee and the surrounding country was a huge
wooded wilderness. The funeral took place on Sunday at 1.30 p.m., the
services being held in the Holiness Movement Church at Roblin, after which
the remains were laid to rest in the family plot just south of the village. |

OBITUARY - Mr.
John Hartin Mr. John Hartin, of West Plain, passed peacefully away on October
26th, 1928, at the age of seventy-three. He had been ailing from
some time, but was only in bed a few days when the call came to come up
higher. Everything was
done that could be done to stay the hand of death, but God had called and he
must go. Many years he
had been a servant of the Lord, and a faithful helper in church and community
life. He left a
clear evidence behind that the Lord was with him, with no dark clouds
to hide the master’s face, as he went down into the valley of death. The funeral was
largely attended at the United Church at West Plain where he was a regular
attendant. The service was conducted by
his Pastor, Rev A. E. Oliver, and Rev. Mr. Bennett, Pastor of the Holiness
Movement Church at Roblin. A beautiful duet was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Brooks, of Roblin. The Scripture
lesson chosen by the deceased, was taken from the 14th chapter of John,
that being his favourite chapter. He leaves to
mourn his loss a sorrowing wife and two daughters, Mrs. W. J. Tyner, and Mrs.
W. G. Pringle; also three sisters and two brothers. Mr. Hartin will
be greatly missed, and the vacancy will be hard to fill, but his work was

Hawkins, Henry |
HENRY HAWKINS - Was
born at Bittirswell, near Lutterworth,
Leicestershire, England, Dec. 21st,
1807. He was clearly converted to God
when he was seventeen years of age, the memory of which remained throughout
his life and formed a delightsome subject of conversation the days preceding
his death. He united first with the
Congregationalists in Lutterworth, and afterwards
with the people called “Methodists,” who met in a little church called the
Bethel, in the town of Leicester. Here
he became a local preacher, and continued in that office as long as he was
able to take appointments, and thus work for the Master. He came to Canada in 1839, and found a
church home among the Episcopal and Primitive Methodists; and after coming to
St. Mary’s he joined with the Methodist Church, which he attended as long as
he was able. The principal part of his
active Christian life was spent in connection with the Brampton and Wellesley
Circuits of the Primitive Methodist Church.
I enjoyed my visits with him during the latter days of his life, and
found him in the exercise of strong faith in God and of good hope in the home
prepared for him. He was among those
who say “the former days were better than these,” and yet he was much
interested in the work of the Church, and especially anxious for the
salvation of his own family, each of whom regarded him as a godly
father. He died on the 22nd
of December, 1886. |

Finkle Hawley - The death
occurred at Kingston, on Mar. 8 1962, of Bertran F.
Hawley, one of the best known and highly respected citizens of Ernestown
Township. Deceased was a son of the late John Machar Hawley and Mary Minerva Pearson, and a great-great-grandson
of Capt. Jeptha Hawley, one of the early U.E.
Loyalist settlers in Ernestown. Mr. Hawley
received his early education at the Bath Continuation School and on moving to
Watertown NY, with his parents, completed his education there, where he
specialized in music and art. When living in
Napanee he practised photography for a number of
years, and was the first photographer to take family groups in the homes. In
his earlier years he was an enthusiastic hunter and sportsman, and looked
forward to the yearly hunting season in the north country. IN 1925 he was
married to Jean McGreer, who, with one daughter,
Mary, survives him. Miss Ethel Hawley, of Napanee and Miss Edith Hawley, of
Spokane, Wash., are first cousins of the deceased. Mr. Hawley's latter days
were spent in the Hawley district. In August of last year he suffered a
stroke and had since been confined to hospital. Pneumonia finally developed
and he passed away on Thursday morning, Mar. 8. The remains rested at the

At Adolphustown,
Tuesday, 12th March, 1907, C. Gibson Hawley, aged 51 years and 7 months. SUN SET AT NOON The expression
'sun set at noon', applies very pathetically to the deceased of our lamented
friend, Charles Gibson Hawley, who departed this life in the old home at
Gosport, in the Township of Adolphustown, on Tuesday evening, March 12th
1907. He was the only son of the late Samuel Hawley and his esteemed wife,
whose maiden name was Miss Jemima Huycke. His birth
took place on the 20th day of August, in the year 1855. He was
always proud to claim Ernesttown as his native township. His age, at the time
of his death was a few months less than 52 years. How true that with him the
sun of life went down while it was still high noon. He was married
to Miss Hannah Baker, of Portsmouth, near Kingston, in the year 1880. Those
who survive him and now mourn his loss are, his devoted wife, his sorrowing
and aged mother, one widowed sister, Mrs. Randell,
and two children, Frank, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. Jas. Robertson, now residing
in the old home at Gosport, with her devoted husband and widowed mother. The
deceased contracted a severe cold, some ten weeks previous to his death,
which developed into pneumonia and terminated fatally, in spite of all that
medical science and skilful nursing could do. He entertained but slight hopes
of recovery from the beginning, and at once surrendered to the will of God.
He spent the weeks of his lingering illness in seeking and trusting Christ,
under the earnest and faithful direction of pastor and many praying friends.
While our transfated friend felt satisfied that he
had made his peace with God, before he was taken away, yet he wished to leave
a dying message for his neighbors and friends. This is the message coming
from his dying lips; 'make your peace with God, at once, do not waste your
lives in sin, and run the risk of losing your souls forever.' May we all be
disposed to heed our neighbor's dying message, since it has been written by
God, 'He that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.'
The funeral, which took place on March 14th, was largely attended,
and the memorial service, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Down, was very
suitable an deeply impressive. What is mortal of our
lost one will wait the trumpet's call, in the Eastern cemetery at Napanee.
May his ashes rest in peace until the morning breaks - Com. |

Death from

of age, son of Mr. Sheldon Hawley of this town, died of hydrophobia on
Thursday morning, having been bitten by a small dog owned by Mr. Hawley. The
dog was not suspected of being rabid, and when the child was taken sick the
parents did not know the true nature of the cause till medical men were
called in, who saw at once that the little patient was suffering all the agonies
of that dreadful malady. The dog has
been killed, as also several other dogs which were bitten by him, and we

The Late Mrs.
Cartwright Hawley Mrs. Cartwright
Hawley passed away at her home in Napanee early Tuesday morning, following an
illness of some weeks. Mrs. Hawley had
not enjoyed good health for some time, and about eight weeks ago suffered a
severe stroke of apoplexy. For a few weeks she was a patient at the Kingston
General Hospital, but was brought back to her home in Napanee about a month
ago, since when her condition had steadily become more serious, until death
resulted. The late Mrs.
Hawley was formerly Elizabeth Matilda Joyce, daughter of the late James and
Marjory Jane Joyce. She was born in North Fredericksburgh, nearly seventy-one
years ago, where she lived until her marriage to Mr. Cartwright Hawley, just
a few months more than fifty years ago. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs.
Hawley resided for a short time at Hay Bay. Then for a number of years they
resided in North Adolphustown, near Bardolph. They retired about twenty-three
years ago and since have made their home in Napanee. In whatever community
they have lived, they have been held in the highest respect by a large host
of friends who sincerely regret the death of Mrs. Hawley. During her
residence in Napanee, Mrs. Hawley had been a member of Trinity United church,
where she took an active interest in all the organizations and had been most
generous in her support. Mrs. Hawley is
survived by her husband and one adopted daughter, Mrs. C.D. Black of

sisters, Mrs. T.A. Percy, Mrs. (Rev.) T.H. Richards, and her brothers,

Ex-Sheriff G.D.
Hawley Died in 94th Year - Was Former M.L.A. for Lennox and Addington Death removed
one of the oldest and best known residents of the County of Lennox, when Mr.
George Douglas Hawley passed away at his home on Thomas Street, Napanee, on Friday
evening. Better known to the present generation as 'Sheriff Hawley', Mr.
Hawley had also occupied other positions of prominence in the official life
of the county, in his earlier days. He was a member of the Ontario
Legislature for two terms, when he won the seat in two elections from the
late George Tate Blackstock, K.C. He was defeated
in the third election by the late Alex Roe. After his defeat
by Mr. Roe, Mr. Hawley was made Clerk of the Division court, which position
he held for nine years, until he was appointed Sheriff, about forty years ago
by the Mowat administration. For 29 years, Mr.
Hawley retained the position of sheriff, until he superannuated eleven years
ago, and the present sheriff, Mr. C.W. Vandervoort,
was appointed to the office. Intense Interest
in Politics - Mr. Hawley was a
staunch Liberal in politics. He was one of the few remaining members of the
old school of politicians. Politics to him was the breath of life. His
interest in all matters pertaining to his party remained,
a noteworthy characteristic until the end. While keenly interested in the
affairs of the county and province, his interest extended to a far wider
sphere. He kept informed on world events and had a grasp of British politics,
which would be the envy of many a young man. Until within a
week of his death he was a constant reader of the daily papers and retained a
keen grasp on current events. The late Mr.
Hawley was seriously ill only one week, although he had been confined to his
room for the past two years. He was born in the Township of South
Fredericksburgh, nearly 94 years ago, the eldest son of the late Joseph
Hawley and Mary Douglas. At the age of four years he went to Kingston to live
with his uncle, Charles Heath, a prominent druggist of the city. Until he was
thirteen years of age he attended a private school in the city, conducted by
Dr. McLean and then entered his uncle's drug store, where he remained until
he was twenty-one. At that time he decided to return to his father's home and
remained on the farm until he came to Napanee 38 years ago. Bishop Renison Assisted at Funeral - Mr. Hawley is
survived by his widow, formerly Miss Caroline Bristol, daughter of the late
Dr. and Mrs. Bristol of Napanee; one daughter, ,
Miss Ethel Hawley and one sister, Miss Caroline Hawley, Napanee. Other

One of Ernesttown's oldest residents passed away here on
Thursday night last, in the person of Jason Hawley. Mr. Hawley was in his
seventy-sixth year, and was born about two miles from this village, on the Quobin road. He has never lived outside of the township.
During his lifetime, Mr. Hawley was a very hardworking man, and was always
honorable in all his dealings. In his early years he was a great hunter and
trapper, and was thoroughly acquainted with the back country. His latter years were quiet and peaceful, and he died with
many friends and not an enemy in the world. For a number of years he was
superintendent of the walks in the village, and always attended promptly to
his work. For a few years, Mr. Hawley was never well, and during the last
year he suffered greatly, but uncomplainingly from cancer of the stomach and
gangrene in one foot. To his family he expressed his willingness to die and
then quietly sank to sleep. He is mourned by a wife, three sons and three
daughters, and two half-brothers, Billings Gordon, of Odessa, and John
Gordon, of Parham, who were here to attend the funeral. Mrs. Jones, one of
the daughters, came from Rome, N.Y., to attend the funeral, which was held on
Sunday morning, at the Brick church, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Seccombe. A large number paid their last respects to the
dead. The remains were interred at Wilton. |

A Man Found Dead This morning
about 8 o'clock the people of West Ward in Napanee, were much startled to
learn that a man was found lying dead in front of one of the coal oil cellars
on a vacant lot. It turned out to be a Mr. Josiah Hawley, of Morven, a man
about 60 years of age. It appears that Mr. Hawley, though a very temperate
man usually, had been drinking some last evening, though not much the worst
of liquor when last seen. He seems to have wandered off to the west part of
the town and probably fell off the flat roof of the coal oil cellar where he
came to his death. He was a man very respectably connected, and leaves a wife
but no family. An inquest is being held before Coroner Huffman. |

Hawley, Joseph C. |
An Old Resident
Gone The death of
Joseph C. Hawley, of South Fredericksburgh, resulted from an attack of
congestion of the lungs. Mr. Hawley was 82 years of age, but up to a month prior
to his death was in the enjoyment of excellent health. The Napanee Express
says his funeral took place on Wednesday the place of interment being Bath.
The deceased gentleman was a son of Davis Hawley, a U.E. Loyalist from New
York State, who arrived in this country about 1870* and was among the first
settlers of the district. He was the last of a family of nine, and was born
on the farm where he resided up to the time of his death. Possessed of fine
social qualities and a genial disposition he drew around him a large circle
of friends, and it can be truthfully said of him that he had not an enemy.
Though never taking a very active part in politics he was always a supporter
of Reform principles, and by his good example in applying these principles to
his every day walk he exerted a far-reaching influence for his party. He was
for years an active member of the Canada Methodist Church, in which capacity
he will probably be more greatly missed than in any other. He leaves behind
him three sons - the late worthy member for the Local Legislature, C. and
J.M. - all of whom are "worthy successors of a worthy sire." The
daughters are Mrs. W.A. Gunn, of Kingston, and Misses Mary A. and Carrie
Hawley, who reside on the homestead. |

Drowned on Monday Two People Perish While Attempting to Cross
the Ice Near Bath On Monday Mr. Maguire, butcher, attempted
to cross the ice from Bath to Amherst Island. Within a short distance of this
destination he found that the ice about him had been broken, and that he was
standing on detached cakes. Some men saw him and put out to his assistance in
a small boat. He rowed down to Bath on Thursday and reached home yesterday afternoon,
bringing with him the sad news of the drowning of two young people, the
adopted children of Mr. Preston, who lives at the foot of Amherst Island.
Some years ago Mr. Preston adopted Lizzie Hawley and a boy named Robertson.
They remained under his roof and shared his hospitality until Monday night,
when they concocted the idea of running away from him. They started in the
evening, taking the ice and heading for Bath. Miss Hawley carried a valise.
When they got within a short distance of Bath the ice parted from under them
and they went down. They screamed for help, and their cries were heard by
people at Fairfield's wharf, but the cakes of ice were so closely wedged
together that it was impossible for the boat to get to them quickly, and they
were drowned. On Tuesday morning a valise was found. It contained some
clothes and a letter addressed to Miss Hawley. The boy Robertson was 13 years
of age, and Miss Hawley 21. The bodies have not yet been recovered. Later - The Bath stage driver brought to
the city this morning the package containing the clothing of the boy (whose
name turns out to be Robertson), a bible, given him by his mother at
Christmas, and several Christmas cards. These will be returned to Mr.
Preston, of Amherst Island. The mother of young Robertson, drowned
while running away from Amherst Island, lives in Picton. Miss Hawley was the
sixth of her family who died during the past sixth years. Finding of a Woman's Today - A Horrid Mass
Tied to the Back of a Schooner and Towed Here - Daily Whig 5th. This morning about 11 o'clock Capt. C.H.
Smith of the sloop Belle, found the body of a woman floating on the water, a
mile west of The Brothers. He tied a rope around the body and towed it behind
his vessel to the G.T.R. wharf, arriving at 3.30 p.m. Covering the
underclothing on the body is a dark ulster; around
the neck is a scarf or cloud, and on the feet are boots over which are
rubbers. On one of the fingers is a dark ring, and
in the ears are gold earrings. Capt. Smith notified Coroner Irwin of the
circumstance. The coroner says the body was found beyond his jurisdiction. He
would not hold an inquest anyway. The body is supposed to be that of Miss
Lizzie Hawley, who perished last January while crossing on the ice from
Amherst Island to the mainland. She was accompanied by a young lad named
Roberts, who was also drowned. Both were the adopted children of Mr. Preston,
who lives at the foot of the island. They ran away from their foster-father
and were making for Kingston. People heard their cries, but a boat could not
be sent to them. The boy Robertson was 13 years of age, and Miss Hawley, 21. From the location of the finding of the
body Rev. Mr. Cumberland was sure the remains were those of the unfortunate
girl. "I was saying yesterday" he said, "that the bodies might
be found anytime after the very severe gale we had on Monday night." |

on Saturday morning last at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Collins, of North Fredericksburgh, aged 36 years. She was a person of very
bright and cheerful disposition, and had many friends, who deeply regret her
death at such an early age. She was married about eleven years ago to Mr. J.
C. Hawley, and they lived in Napanee for a number of years past, where her
husband is in business. She has been in poor health for several years, a
victim of consumption, but it was only since last spring that her illness
took an alarming turn. It became evident that her case was past all human
skill. Some months ago she became so ill as to find
it necessary to break up her own household and go with her parents, where
every care and attention was given to her. She became aware that her end was
near and looked to her death with composure and confidence. She was a
Methodist. She leaves four children, a daughter of about ten years, and three
sons, younger, to mourn with their father an irreparable loss. The funeral
took place on Monday from her parent's residence, and the body was deposited
in the Napanee vault. Mr. and Mrs. Collins had two daughters, both women of
much more than ordinary promise and intelligence, and both of whom have gone
to early graves, victims of consumption. There is no
flock, however, watched and tended But one dead
lamb is there! There is no

death occurred on Saturday morning, when Mrs. J.C. Hawley passed peacefully
away after a lingering illness of some months of consumption. Deceased's
maiden name was Mary Collins, daughter of Robert Collins, North

mourn the loss of a tender wife and devoted mother. |

Reuben C. Hawley,
Esq. - one of the oldest men residing in this County died at his residence in
North Fredericksburgh, on Saturday last, 18th inst., aged nearly ninety
years. A few months ago, THE BEAVER published a sketch of Mr. Hawley, giving
pretty full particulars of his life history, which most of our readers will,
no doubt, well remember. He was then active, cheerful and in good health and
remained so until recently; his sickness only lasting over a few days. He was
born in 1808 on a farm a short distance east of what is now the village of
Camden East, but long before there was even a vestage
of a village there. A few years later his parents moved several miles further
down the Napanee river and located on the farm where for over 84 years he
resided, until the time of his death. He well remembered the rise and
progress of Napanee from the time when it consisted of a small grist mill, a
store and two or three other houses until it reached its present dimensions.
Kingston was but a small village when he first remembered it. He was of U.E.
Loyalist descent, his grandfather, Davis Hawley, being one of the first
settlers of this county. He lived on the boundary line between
Fredericksburgh and Ernesttown, in the second concession, and was a near
neighbor of Robert Perry, grandfather of the late Wm. H. Perry. It was
somewhat singular these two well known old residents whose bodies now lie side by side in the Napanee Cemetery vault, and who
died within a week of each other, that their grandfathers came into upper
Canada about the same time, were near neighbors and warm friends; their
fathers were born near the same time and were life long
acquaintances, and they themselves were born within three years of each
other, lived all their lifetime quite near each other, were warm friends,
members of the same political party and of the same church. Mr. Hawley was
always an active and industrious man, a good farmer, an excellent and
obliging neighbor and a man of genial disposition and much intelligence. He
was the last survivor of a large and influential family..
He had six children, four of whom survive him. They are Mrs. A. L. Bogart, of
Deseronto; Mrs. George Lasher, of Toronto; Mrs. G. H. Williams, of Napanee,
and George, who resides on the old homestead in North Fredericksburgh. On Saturday
last, Reuben C. Hawley passed peacefully away at the ripe old age of
eighty-nine years, seven months and eighteen days at the old homestead,
Fredericksburgh. Four children are left to mourn - Mrs. G.H. Williams,
Napanee; Mrs. George Lasher, Toronto; Mrs. Bogart, Deseronto, and R.G.
Hawley, on the homestead. Deceased was one of the oldest settlers in the
township. The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon and was very largely

Samuel Hawley -
of Gosport, Adolphustown, died Wednesday morning at his residence in the
fourth concession of Adolphustown, of pneumonia, after a short and very
painful sickness. Mr. Hawley was a native of this county, having been born in
Ernesttown over seventy years ago. He lived in the county all his life time.
He was a man of very industrious and quiet habits. He was of U.E.L. stock, a
descendant of the Pioneer Jeptha Hawley, one of the
prominent early settlers. About forty-five years ago he married Miss Jermina Huyck, of Adolphustown, who survives him with
their two children, Mr. Gibson Hawley, on the old homestead, and Mrs. Alfred
Rendell, John street, Napanee. He was for fifty years a member of the
Methodist church. His aged partner in life is also down with pneumonia. The
funeral will take place this morning from his late residence to the Eastern
cemetery, Napanee. Death of an Old
Pioneer - It is our sad duty to record the death of Samuel E. Hawley, one of
the best known and highly respected residents of Adolphustown, which occurred
on Thursday, at the ripe old age of seventy-two years and one month. Deceased
had been ill of grippe all winter, and a week ago pneumonia set in, which, in
his already weakened condition, he was not able to withstand, and death
claimed him early on Wednesday morning. Mr. Hawley was born in Ernesttown, a
son of the late Johnston Hawley, of U.E. Loyalist stock. Of the family, two
brothers and one sister are still living. Thomas D. Hawley, Kingston;
Sheldon, Chicago, and Mrs. T. Irish, Morven. A widow, who is also at present
stricken with pneumonia, and two children, a son and a daughter, are left to
mourn a most kind and loving husband and father. They are C. Gibson Hawley,
on the homestead, and Mrs. Alfred Rendell, Napanee. Deceased has lived for
the past thirty years on the farm on which he died, and a kinder and better
neighbor never lived. He was a man of sterling qualities, of a quiet and unassuming
manner and a man who had many friends. He was a man of good business
qualities and was counted among the successful farmers of the county. He was
a consistent member of the Methodist church for a great many years, and lived
an exemplary, christian life, dying with a perfect
assurance of that glorious resurrection which our Saviour has promised to his
faithful followers. The funeral took place on Friday morning to the Napanee
cemetery and was largely attended. |

time. He was a native of Lennox & Addington having been born at

Lennox and Addington counties. He gained a seat in the Ontario Legislature in
1894 as member for Frontenac County, under the banner of the patrons of
Industry, and was unanimously chosen leader of the party. Although his
term in the Legislature was brief, his interest in political matters continued
and he took part in nearly every election in this district and at the age of
86 spoke for an hour and twenty minutes in support of Colin Campbell, who won
the Frontenac-Addington seat in the Federal election of 1935. Of English and

wedding anniversary in 1927. During his term of office in the Legislature he

conference this year the Labor members sent the deceased greetings signed by
forty sitting members, including Atlee, George Landsburry,
Greenwood, Joe Tool, Mayor of Manchester, W.W. Henderson and Elsie McDonald. Three sons and two

LIFE’S DREAM IS
O’ER - On Tuesday morning, March 28th, one of Napanee’s estimable
young ladies, Miss Ethel Hemstreet, was called to
her reward. Deceased was the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Hemstreet, Centre st., and was ill but one week, peritonitis being the
fatal disease. Miss Hemstreet, who was but twenty-four years of age, was a
popular young lady of sweet lovable disposition, and a general favorite with
her numerous friends. Life looked very
bright for her and it was just a short time until her marriage was to have
taken place to Mr. Fred Johnson, of Deseronto. During her very painful illness, deceased
was extremely patient, was conscious until the last moment, and fully
prepared to cross the bourne from which no traveller returns.
The funeral, which took place on Wednesday afternoon, was largely
attended and the floral tributes from friends were many and beautiful. Besides her parents, deceased leaves one
brother and one sister to mourn the loss of a kind and loving daughter and
sister, Mr. Wesley Hemstreet, Boston, Mass., and
Mrs. Harry Patchette, Toronto. |

Although in his 82nd year, Mr. Henderson had been enjoying
unusually good health. Recently,

a few years spent in the United States when a young man. He was very well and favourably
known in the district. For many years he had been a successful farmer and had
also followed the vocation of carpenter, and was responsible for the building
of many homes and barns in the district.
He was an active and regular attendant of the United Church and for
over 45 years was a member of Lime Lake Orange Lodge. Mr. Henderson’s
wife, formerly Lucy Thompson, died about three years ago. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Norman

HENDERSON - At
Napanee, on Thursday, May 12th, 1921, Mrs. Margaret Henderson,
aged 87 years and 11 months. OBITUARY -
Margaret Henderson. On Friday, May
12th, 1921, there passed peacefully away one of the oldest and
most respected residents of the Town of Napanee. Margaret
Henderson, who was a daughter of John Scott, of Ebenezer, was born in
Ireland, in 1833, and came to this country when about a year old. The family lived for some years in
Adolphustown, but finally settled at Ebenezer, in Tyendinaga. Here her early years were spent. She was one of a large family, only two of
whom are now left to mourn her loss, Henry, of Northport, Michigan and David,
of California. She was one of the
pioneer school teachers of the County, having taught successfully for a
number of years. In 1870, she married
John Henderson, merchant, of Lime Lake, one of the early settlers of Hastings
Co., who predeceased her some fourteen years. When quite young
she was converted to God and united with the Methodist Church, of which she
was to the end a faithful and zealous supporter. She leaves a large family to mourn her
loss, her stepchildren, William, Thomas, Robert and Andrew, of Napanee; John of Port Huron, Michigan; George, of Lime lake; James, of Parish, New York; Mrs. Elijah Jarmin,
lime Lake; Mrs. Herman Masters,
Hamilton, and Mrs. Thos. H. Alexander, of Hillier, P.E. County; and her own family, Mrs. E. W. Hudgins, of
Parish, New York; Mrs. M. B.
Alexander, Napanee, and Mrs. J. Lucas, Lime Lake. Although Mrs.
Henderson had nearly reached the advanced age of 88 years, her mind was as
keen and her intellect as brilliant as ever, while her interest in and
knowledge of the current events of the day far surpassed that of many younger
persons. She was one who
was always youthful in thought, fearless in speech, true to her convictions,
a kind and obliging neighbour, a generous and indulgent mother and a faithful
friend. Her loss will be
greatly felt not only by the family, but by the large circle of friends and
acquaintances, with whom she came in contact.
Up to within a few days of her death she was active as ever. But on Wednesday morning she was taken
suddenly ill. Medical aid was at once
summoned, but in spite of all that loving friends could do, she passed
peacefully away at 8 o’clock on Thursday night. Her funeral,
which took place from the residence of her daughter Mrs. M. B. Alexander,
Richard St., on Sunday, was largely attended.
The short service at the house was conducted by her Pastor, Rev. Dr.
Shorey. Her pall-bearers were her six
sons. The remains were then taken to
Lime Lake church, near which a good many years of her life had been
spent. This church, though crowded to
its utmost capacity would not hold the large crowd of neighbours and friends
who came to show her respect and honour. A very able and
inspiring address was delivered by Rev. E. B. Cooke, of Newburgh, a former
Pastor. He was assisted in the
services by Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Roblin, Pastor of the Church. Both clergymen spoke very highly of
deceased, emphasizing especially the fact that her life had been one of
service. Mr. Cooke spoke from the
text, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints”. The Choir rendered beautiful and
appropriate music. She was interred by
the side of her husband in the cemetery at Lime lake. Friends were present from new York city,
Port Huron, Mich., Parish, New York, Trenton, Belleville, Odessa, Selby and
Hillier. |

under the influence of ardent spirits - It appears that Hennrasce
had killed a pig, which he
was dressing and from which he was about to cut a piece of
meat, when his wife interfered to prevent him, and in a playful manner struck
his arm with the gamble stick and then retreated towards the house. He immediately pursued, and seizing her
plunged the butcher knife into her side, from which wound she died the
following Friday. The murderer was
immediately arrested and is now lodged in jail at Picton (Prince Edward

Henwood, Amelia (nee Perry) |
On
Sunday morning after an illness of little more than two weeks, Amelia Perry,
beloved wife of D. Henwood, departed this life. She was a daughter of the
late Ebeneezer Perry, Fredericksburgh, and a sister
of our townsman, J.J. Perry, and of George Perry, Fredericksburgh. Two
sisters, Misses Jane and Maria, and a brother in Denver, Col., are still left
of the family. Besides these, a husband, two sons and a daughter are left to
mourn a tender and loving mother and a devoted wife. The deceased was in her
fifty-sixth year. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at two o'clock,
from her late residence, John street to the Eastern cemetery. HENWOOD
- At Napanee, on Sunday morning, 30th Sept., 1900, Amelia Perry, wife of
Daniel Henwood, aged 55 years, 7 months and 10 days. Amelia
Perry, wife of Mr. Daniel Henwood, died at her home, John Street, Napanee,
last Sunday morning about 2 o'clock, aged 55 years. Deceased had for years
been troubled with weakness of the heart, and a severe attack of dysentery
occurring about three weeks ago, aggravated the complaint and caused death.
She was the third daughter of the late Ebenezer Perry, North Fredericksburgh.
On April 23d, 1874, she was married by the Rev.
G.M. Meacham, now a Missionary in Japan and since
that event had lived happily in the home on the corner of John and Mill
streets. Five children blessed the union - Daniel P. jr.,
George R., John A., Minnie and Frank. Of these, Daniel jr.,
Minnie and Frank, with the bereaved husband survive. Early in life Mrs.
Henwood was converted, and for many years was a very earnest worker in all
branches of the church, but particularly that of the ladies, in the Eastern
Methodist church. Two years ago she became a member of the Presbyterian
church, but ill health prevented regular attendance. We cannot speak too
highly of her life and character - a firm believer in the Saviour, a gentle
and loving mother and wife, the vacancy in the home can only be fully
understood by its surviving members. Her death bed was both a sad and happy
one. She fully realized that the great change was at hand, being conscious to
the end, and rejoiced in the knowledge that she was about to be with Him. The
sorrowing husband and children were called to her, and to each she gave a
fond good-bye and a request to meet her in the better land. With her consent,
"Nearer My God to Thee" and "Sweet By and By" were sung. The funeral on Monday was attended by the Oddfellows in a body, Mr. Henwood being a member of that
order. Rev. Mr. Peck conducted the services at the house. The body was placed
in the vault of the Napanee cemetery. Besides the members of her own family
mentioned above as surviving, three brothers, Robt. E. Perry, Denver, Col.,
J.J. Perry, Napanee, and Geo. I. Perry, North Fredericksburgh, and three
sisters, Mrs. Geo. W. Garrison, Saskatoon, Man., and Misses Maria and Jennie
at home, are still living. |

DEATH OF R. G.
K. HEPBURN – In the death of Robert Grant Keith Hepburn, Picton has lost one
of its most outstanding young business men, the community a useful and
respected citizen and his family a kind and loving husband and father. Keith Hepburn was called away in the prime
of life. A young man, only 39 years of
age, and full of life and vigor, many years of happiness and usefulness
seemed ahead. But death, the grim
reaper, did not spare him. After an
illness of only three days, he passed away at the Picton Hospital on
Wednesday, February 22nd, following an operation for appendicitis
on the previous Monday. Everything
that medical skill could suggest was unavailing and his death is mourned by
the entire community, who extend to his family their deepest sympathy. R. G. K. Hepburn was the youngest son of
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hepburn, and was born and had always lived in Picton. He was for some years associated with his
father and brothers in the steamship business. He was also one of the members of the firm
of Hepburn Bros. who carried on an extensive milling, lumber and coal and
wood business. On the retirement of the other members of the firm some five
or six years ago, he took over the business and has since carried on the coal
and wood trade of Hepburn Bros. About
four years ago he organized the Quinte Canning Co. utilizing the mill
premises at the dock and since that time has put up tomatoes at their
plant. Mr. Hepburn was a keen
sportsman. He was a good shot and
thoroughly enjoyed a days shooting. He was a member of the Picton Curling Club
and a good curler. His wife who
survives him was Miss Johnson, daughter of the late J. W. Johnson of
Belleville. Four children, two boys
and two girls, the eldest 11 years and the youngest 3 years of age also
survive. Mr. Hepburn had three
brothers, Brig.-General B. R. Hepburn, C. M. G. of Woburn Chase, London,
England; Major Colin Hepburn, also of
London, England, and Mr. Jas. D.C. Hepburn who just landed in England with
his family on Sunday last. His father
Mr. A. W. Hepburn is also in England. His mother, Mrs.
A. W. Hepburn of Toronto reached Picton just before his death. Three sisters, Mrs. Plummer and Mrs. Padmore of Toronto, and Mrs. Ackerman of Peterboro, were
at the funeral. His two other sisters
are in the west. Mrs. Noakes in Winnipeg and Miss Gena
in Calgary. The funeral at his late residence
on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock was largely attended. Rev. F. Louis Barber officiated. The pallbearers were Judge McLean, Dr.

health had been impaired from some time, but she had been able to continue
most of her usual activities, and had appeared to be regaining her strength. Her final illness was but of a few hours’ duration, and the end came with unexpected suddenness. Mrs. Herrington
was a very prominent and public-spirited member of the community, and was an
enthusiastic and energetic worker in every good cause. For many years she had been identified with
the Children’s Aid Society, and at the time of her death was head of the
Women’s finance Committee of the Victorian Order of Nurses. During the war the Red Cross work benefited
by her labours, and it may be said that no movement for the welfare of
the community failed to draw from her a sympathetic and substantial
support. But what elicited the most
unstinted devotion of her time and her talents was the work of her Church. In Sunday School, Choir, W.A., and almost every
form of church activity, her earnest zeal was manifested. For several years she had been President of
the Church Womans’ Guild, and upon its work were
lavished her time and her efforts, while her gifts of leadership and her
personal popularity ensured that cooperation which so recently resulted in
the achievement of the society’s main objective. In her Church, in the town, and in a very
wide circle of friends, will Mrs. Herrington be greatly missed. The funeral
service was held in St. Mary Magdalene’s Church, on Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by the Vicar, Rev. Rural Dean Coleman, assisted by Rev. Messrs. A.
H. Coleman, A. H. Creeggan, R. W. Spencer, and J. deP. Wright. The
church was filled to the doors. The
hymns, “For All the Saints” and “Abide with Me:,
were well rendered by the large choir, and Mr. Marvin Rathbun
sang very beautifully “Rock of Ages:. Mrs. Herrington
was the daughter of the late William Tilley, who was Science Master at the
Napanee High School about forty years ago.
Besides her husband, she is survived by three children, Miss Helen, of
New York; Mrs. T. D. Sneath, of Boston, and W.
Harold, of Kingston;
and by one brother, J. Fred Tilley, of Toronto. A brother, Major William Tilley, died in
England, about 1 year ago. |

– A distressing accident occurred on Saturday afternoon about four o’clock in
which Andrew Herrington, Hamburg Road, North Fredericksburg, lost his life.
Mr. Herrington, with his wife and daughter, Miss Eva Herrington, were
returning to their house when the team became frightened and started to run
away. When they got through the stone bridge the quick turn on the iron
bridge threw the sleigh violently against the iron bridge. All three were
thrown out with great force, striking the side of the bridge as the sleigh
slowed, with the result that Mr. Herrington was picked up unconscious and
died in a few
minutes. Mrs. Herrington had her arm and collar bone broken as also her jaw.
Miss Herrington was quite severely bruised. The team was quite a spirited one
and in some way Mr. Herrington lost control of them. Deceased was

Hesford, Frederick |
Obituary At the residence
of Mr. Donald McPherson, Napanee, on Monday, 18th May last, at the advanced
age of 86 years and 8 months, Mr. Frederick Hesford,
one of the oldest and most respected inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The deceased was
a native of Brunswick, Hanover. During the Revolutionary struggle in America,
a levy of Hanoverian troops was raised, and the deceased, a youth of 17 years
of age, volunteered in the Regiment of his Prince, Frederick of Brunswick,
and sailed with other German troops from Stadt on
the Elbe, under the command of General Redhazel, in
the early part of 1776. Arriving at Quebec in the month of May in that year,
he served with his Regiment in various parts of Lower Canada and the (now)
United States, till the peace of 1784, when he obtained his discharge. He
associated his fortunes with those meritorious men, the United Empire
Loyalists, who, braving the hardships and privations of settling in the
wilderness, sought a home on the shores of the Bay of Quinte. In the year following
the deceased was selected to accompany the expedition under Major Holland; to
explore the tract of country lying north of lake Ontario. Proceeding in
canoes up the Bay of Quinte to the Trent, they followed the course of that
River and the waters flowing into it, from the west, till they reached the
Lake now known as Lake Simcoe, and crossing the narrows, arrived at the
shores of Lake Huron. The favourable report they
were enabled to give of the country; at that time a dreary wilderness, has
since been abundantly confirmed by the wide-spread improvements and dense
population which of late years have changed the face of that fine region. At the period
subsequent to that, the deceased was employed under Mr. Surveyor Collins in
locating the Loyalists and discharged soldiers in Bay Chaleurs,
Canada East. He returned to the Bay of Quinte in 1790, and settled on his
military grant near the village of Napanee, where he has since resided,
industriously occupied either in the cultivation of his farm, or as an
assistant in the establishment of the late Richard Robinson, Esq., and
latterly in that of Allan McPherson, Esq. The amiability of his disposition
and upright and truly pious life, ensured him the esteem of the whole
community, who testified their sense of his worth by following his remains to
the grave with every demonstration of unfeigned regret and respect. The
ceremony of his interment was rendered more than usually affecting by the
presence of several of his old associated, "the fathers of the Hamlet,"
who attended as Pall-bears, one of whom had arrived at his 96th year. |

JAMES GUILDFORD
HESS - The subject of
this memoir was born in the township of Sidney, Ont., March 27th,
1853; died
September, 1885. His parents were
pious. His father was a class-leader
in the Methodist Church, who died when James was ten years of age, committing
him to the care of his heavenly Father. He learned the
drug business in the city of Belleville.
His employers and all who knew him respected him for his strict
business habits and integrity of character. The last
thirteen years of his life was spent in the United states. For several years he was manager of a large
drug store in the city of St. Louis, where he was united in marriage to Laura
A. Bell who, with two sons, is left to mourn the loss of a kind father. His health
failing him, his physicians sent him to Colorado in hopes of regaining his
health, where he still continued a drug store successfully, trying every
means to restore his health, without avail. Although a
thorough and careful business man, he had not yet given his heart to
God. The prayers of a mother followed
him continually, and when told by his physicians that he had but a short time
to live (his disease was consumption) his longing for home, and to see his
mother once more was so great that with his family and a brother he started
on a journey of 2,000 miles. Weak and
exhausted he reached his home, died the ninth day after. He says, “Mother, I
have not seen you in ten years, and I have come all this way to died with
you, and now I want you to pray with me.”
It was a great trial, but the Lord was present in great power. He exclaimed, “Now the Lord has lifted the
burden off my soul, and I am happy!”
The morning of his death he asked his step-father to pray, and all
gathering around his bed united in prayer;
he said it was the happiest day of his life. For months he had been trying to give
himself to the Lord, and now he shouted his praises aloud, entreating of a
brother, who was holding him up in bed, to give his heart to Jesus and
commence to pray then exclaiming with joy beaming from his countenance,
“religion is a grand and glorious thing, and regretting that he had not spent
his whole life in serving God.” Thus
died an affectionate and dutiful son.
God be praised, he does and will still continue to answer the prayers
of his people. Mothers, continue to
pray. M. CROUTER |

KILLED AT
NEWBURGH - G. FRED HILL, ONE OF NEWBURGH’S MOST PROMINENT CITIZENS, INSTANTLY
KILLED BY TRAIN The news of the
sudden death of one of Newburgh’s popular citizens was a severe shock to the
villagers early on Tuesday morning, when it was learned that Fred Hill had
been instantly killed while walking on the Canadian National tracks at Newburgh. The supposition
is that Mr. Hill, who was in night attire when found, had left his home,
which is near the track, and walked on the track towards the station while
asleep. It is also thought that he was
struck by the fast Ottawa-Toronto train, which does not stop at Newburgh,
and, as this train was late on the morning of the accident, it would have
passed through Newburgh about the time the accident happened. Deceased, who
was in his early fifties, was one of Newburgh’s most prominent and popular citizens,
and his untimely demise is sincerely regretted by old and young, as well as
by a host of friends throughout the County.
Mr. Hill was a member of Newburgh Board of Education, Warden in the

was born in London township, and from childhood was placed under religious
influences. He did not, however, unite
with the Church, until in the fall of 1879, under the labors of the Rev. J.
E. Moore, in a revival meeting in the village of Komoka. Our dear departed brother kept a general
store in Komoka for eighteen years, and was
post-master at the time of his death.
He did much for the moral, religious, and educational interests of the
vicinity in which he lived. The
Methodist Church in Komoka stands as a memorial of
his energy and usefulness. As a
Christian, a society steward, and a member of the Trustee Board he is
missed. His house was a welcome home
for the servants of God. Revs. S.S.
Weaver and A. Kaniman were given a home
gratuitously - in fact, his liberality was almost unbounded. His funeral sermon was preached by the Rev.
J.E. Moore, his pastor, from the words, “Let me die the death of the
righteous, and let my last end be like his,”
to a very large audience, which gave evidence of the very high esteem
in which he was held by the neighborhood in which he had been a public
benefactor. Brother Hord leaves a widow and seven children, besides a large
circle of influential friends to mourn their loss. May we meet him in the “better land.” |

HORNER – AT Adolphustown,
Monday, July 17, 1905, John Horner, aged 72 years. Obituary - John
Horner - of Hayburn, passed suddenly away at the home of his son, Mr. John
Horner, Adolphustown, on July 15th. Deceased was apparently in good health,
and though he had been poorly all winter was helping his son with his hay
harvest. The cause of death was evidently heart failure, as he retired to bed
in good spirits, and in a few minutes, before help could be called by his
wife, had gone. He leaves besides his widow, three sons and two daughters;
John in Adolphustown, George at Hayburn and another in Irondequoit, N.Y.; one
daughter in Toronto and Mrs. Bailey, 3d concession.
Mr. Horner and family came to this country from England about twenty-four
years ago and settled on Henry Allison's farm as tenants. The family have lived near here since. He was aged 72 years. |

Mrs. John Horner,

a few days. The deceased was the daughter of John Furse,
being the youngest (only thirty-two years of age) of a large family. MRS. JOHN HORNER
– Sudden indeed did the Angel of Death take one from our midst. The call came to a much respected neighbor
and friend, in the person of Mrs. John Horner, of Adolphustown, on Wednesday,
May 3d. Mrs.
Horner was seriously ill only a few days and very few of her friends knew of
her illness, her death coming as a very severe shock to all. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. John Furse, being the youngest (only 32 years of age) of a
large family. Three sisters and three
brothers remain, besides her aged father, all of whom were present to pay their
last respects. She also leaves behind
a sorrowing husband and a little daughter about three years of age. She will be sadly missed in the home circle
by all, and more especially by her aged father, to whom she has been untiring
in her devotion during his serious illness of the past four weeks. The neighbors also regret her departure to
the better world as her pleasant manner won her many friends. But we must remember that we may all meet
again if we so wish as a Home in Heaven is given to
all who seek it through our Lord Jesus Christ. The funeral took place on Friday last at 1
o’clock, the services being held at the house, conducted by Rev. Mr. Thomas
and was largely attended. The remains
were placed in the U.E.L. Methodist cemetery.

Horsey, Emma (nee

Obituary – The
funeral of the late Mrs. E. E. Horsey (nee Miss Emma Moxon),
took place last Thursday afternoon at Kingston. The service was conducted by Canon Loucks
assisted by Rev. R S. Forneri, and was attended by Mrs. Horsey’s
near relatives, including her father, Mr. John Moxon, ---
Herbert and Miss Mary Moxon of Picton, Dr.
and Mrs. Elliott of Chesaning, Mich.,
A. J. Moxon of Binghampton,
N.Y., and Mrs. Pearsoll of Toronto. Among the many beautiful floral tributes
were noticed two little bunches of flowers brought by two of the little ones
in her infant class at St. Luke’s Sunday school where she had been a
successful and much loved teacher.
Though always frail, her death came as a great shock to all her
friends, for she had been feeling unusually well and was preparing to move
from her house on Frontenac Street. On
Monday, the day of her death, she had been out both in the afternoon and
evening and retired about 9:30 p.m. apparently quite well. About ten o’clock
she awakened her husband as she was suffocating. Mr. Horsey summoned their neighbor to stay
with his wife while he brought the nearest doctor, as the telephone did not
act properly. While he was away the
few minutes necessary to go two blocks, she became unconscious and in that
state passed away, the attack having only lasted in all about 30
minutes. The remains lie in the family
plot at Glenwood. |

Death of an Old
Resident There died in
Napanee on Monday last one of its oldest residents, Mrs. John Hosey,
who came to this town in the year 1812, and has resided here
since that time. having been born on the 19th of July, 1781, she was in her
ninety-fourth year, and to the very last moment, the stirring scenes in that
remote period of the history of Canada were fresh in her memory and her clear
remembrance of the excitements of the War of Independence and the particular
incidents connected with it of local importance were always listened to with
intense interest. When she and her husband removed to Napanee, there were but
two stores, a tavern and two or three residences, and she lived to see it
spring from this small hamlet into one of the most flourishing and prosperous
towns in the Dominion. Thus one by one the connecting ties that bind the
stirring events of those remote times with the present are being snapped by
the unsparing hand of Death. |

The Sillsville
district suffered a loss on Friday morning in the passing of one of its best
known and highly respected residents in the person of Mrs. D.H. Hough at the
age of seventy-six years and three months. The deceased had been in poor
health for some time, and some time ago contracted flu. Not only has the
community lost a much respected resident, but the United Church in that
village will be much the poorer by her passing. Mrs. Hough before her
marriage was Miss Annie Jane Mellow, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Mellow. Fifty-one years ago on September 27th, last, she
was united in marriage to D.H. Hough, and their home always has been in the
Sillsville district. She was very active in the work of the church, and took
an exceptional interest in the ladies’ Aid Society as well as the Women’s
Missionary Society. At the annual tea meetings, she was among the foremost
workers, and she will be greatly missed in church activities. Of a family of
seven, her death marks the third, a brother, Dr. S.J. Mellow, having passed
away at his home in Port Perry and a sister, Mrs. Will Hough, having passed
away in Sillsville. Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, one
son, Harold, one daughter, Mrs. Perry Young and four brothers, Arthur, of
Sillsville, Thomas Mellow of Sandhurst, Felix of Kingston and Dr. Frank
Mellow. The funeral
service, which was held on Sunday afternoon, was largely attended and was
conducted by Rev. Mr. Sanders. The many floral tributes bore mute testimony
to the esteem in which she was held. Interment took place in the Sillsville
cemetery. The pall-bearers were Arthur Mellow, Felix Mellow, Dr. Frank
Mellow, Harold Hough, Perry Young and Leonard Mellow. The death
occurred very suddenly of Mrs. D.H. Hough, an old and valuable resident, on
Friday morning at six o’clock. Mrs. Hough had been in failing health the past
year. The funeral services were held at the home on Sunday afternoon.
Interment was in the cemetery at Sillsville. Dr. Frank Mellow
and Mrs. Mellow of Uxbridge spent the weekend and attended the funeral
service of Dr. Mellow’s sister, the late Mrs. D.H.

JOHN N. HOUGH
1842-1917 -- The subject of this obituary was born on Lot 1, in the 4th
Concession of North Fredericksburgh original in the year 1842. He lived and
died on the above mentioned old homestead, having passed away on January 1st,
1917, at the age of 74 years, 8 months. John N. Hough was a highly respected
and widely known citizen in these parts. He took an interest in the political
affairs of the country, and was for his lifetime, a staunch Conservative, but
was liberal minded in his views. He was a councillor in the municipality for
a number of years and a Justice of the Peace since 1905. In religion he was a
life-long Methodist and a member of the same for upwards of forty years. As
an active member of the Church he has filled the office of Class Leader, S.S.
Superintendent, Steward, Recording Steward, and was a trustee of the Gretna
Church at the time it was built. He was a regular and faithful attendant of
the means of grace and a supporter of the Church in every way, both
spiritually and financially. In business, he was honest, industrious and
economical and succeeded where many would have failed. In the home he was so
appreciated that here more than any other place his absence will be most
keenly felt. During his protracted illness he manifested great patience and
cheerfulness, and endured everything without a murmur. He leaves to mourn his
loss two brothers and two sisters, viz., Wm. H. Hough, St. Catharines, Charles W. and Maria Hough on the homestead;
Mrs. J. A. Ronson, Toronto. Everything possible was
done to add to his comfort during his sickness, and in this respect, his nephew,
Bismark Edgar, was especially kind. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. W. S. Boyce and Rev. C. W. DeMille,
in the Gretna Church on Thursday, January 4th, where a great
number of sympathizing friends and acquaintances came to pay their last respects
to an honored citizen. The remains were placed in the vault of Riverside
cemetery. The friends have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. And so of
John N. Hough, it can truly be said, "He rests from his labours and his works do follow him." |

Hough, relict of the late Jacob Hough, of North Fredericksburgh, in the
eighty-fifth year of her age. The funeral services will be held at Gretna
church, Sunday morning at 10.30 o'clock. The funeral of
the late Mrs. Jacob Hough, of North Fredericksburgh, took place at the Gretna
Methodist Church, on Sunday morning, and was one of the largest country
funerals in this section of the country for years. She was eighty-four years
of age, a woman of great activity and deep piety, and very highly respected
by all who knew her. HOUGH - Margaret
Hough, whose maiden name was Benn, was born in the township of Camden,
September 15, 1812 and died in the Lord, October 1 1896, in her eighty-fifth
year. She was married to Jacob Hough of sainted memory, February 11, 1838.
The union was an exceedingly happy one and lasted until April 11 1873, when
the tenderly-loved husband was removed to the home above. Mrs. Hough was
converted in 1844, under the ministry of the Rev. Gilbert Miller and was the
first to join the class-meeting that was then organized at Gretna, on the old
Napanee Circuit, in connection with the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Her house
became the preacher’s home and many were the delightful memories she loved to
call up in connection with the early days of Methodism in the township of
North Fredericksburgh. She attended the August quarterly meeting at her own
church, Gretna, Bay Circuit, and gave a glorious testimony to the saving and
preserving grace of God. Her death was very sudden, no wearisome days of
sickness. Overcome by a prolonged spell of coughing - she “was not, for God
took her.” May all the family meet above. T. Snowden. |

Sillsville, on Tuesday, 30th May, Martin Hough, aged 60 years. Martin Hough -
of Sillsville, died quite suddenly and to most of his friends unexpectedly
last Tuesday morning, 30th May, after a short illness of about a
week. A week ago last Wednesday he was taken down with pneumonia, and
although all the resources that medical skill and careful nursing could
provide were forthcoming, he gradually sank until the messenger came Tuesday.
Mr. Hough was a son of the late John G. Hough, was 60 years of age, and
resided on the old homestead of his U.E.L. ancestors. Deceased leaves a wife
and one son, Mr. Earl Hough, attending the Napanee Collegiate Institute. His mother, aged 89 years, two sisters, Mrs. J.D. Galt, of

his family, he was a conservative. The funeral took place on Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Sanders holding the service at the residence of the
deceased, who was the recording steward of the circuit. The sermon was most
appropriate in the sad circumstances, being forcible, eloquent and pathetic.

in Sillsville. Mr. Hough had

community. Her husband had taken her to Kingston to consult a specialist, and
she had arranged to remain with her brother of the week end. While in
conversation with him she passed quietly away. Mrs. William

many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you." Miss Mitchell sang by

beautiful. The pall-bearers were the four brothers and two nephews, Merton
Mellow, of Bath, and Harold Hough, Sillsville,.
Interment was made in Sillsville cemetery. [Sillsville] - A
gloom was cast over our community when it became known that Mrs. Wm. B. Hough
had passed away. Mrs. Hough had been in poor health for several years, and at
times was a great sufferer, but for the past few weeks she appeared to be
improving, and was able to get out a few times. On Saturday afternoon she,
with her husband, motored to Kingston on a visit to her twin brother, Mr.
Felix Mellow. She had enjoyed the beautiful drive and was chatting merrily
with her relatives when she suddenly passed away. She leaves to mourn, besides
her sorrowing husband, her only sister, Mrs. Duncan Hough, and four brothers,
Thomas, of Sandhurst; Felix, of Kingston; Arthur, of Sillsville, and Dr.
Frank E. Mellow, Uxbridge, Ont. An older brother, Dr. S.J. Mellow,

in Sillsville, and the funeral was held in Sillsville United Church, her
Pastor, Rev. Mr. Plant, speaking very kindly of her beautiful Christian
character. For many years she was organist of Sillsville church, only giving
it up when her health failed. She was also an active Epworth League member, a
member of both the W.M.S. and Ladies' Aid. Dr. Frank and

MABEL HOWARD –
Nor for many years have the residents of Collins Bay received such a blow as
when two weeks ago the sad news came that Miss Mabel Howard, our faithful
school teacher, had passed away at the General Hospital. She was taken sick a
few days previously by what was considered a cold.
Medical aid was summoned and it was found to be of a more serious
nature. All loving hands could do was
of no avail and she was taken to the hospital and three days later she bade
farewell to her mother who never left her bedside, and passed away to her
heavenly home. She cared not for the
alluring pleasure of frivolous life.
Her life was one of care and love devoted to her home and mother. As a school teacher she was loved by
all. The funeral took place from her home
at Collins Bay. Rev. Mr. Smith of
Christ Church, Cataraqui, took charge of the service. Many beautiful flowers were placed on the
casket by kind friends, among them being gates ajar from the school
section. Her remains were laid to rest
in the family lot at Bath. As the
funeral procession passed the school house the old bell in solemn tones rang
out. It had lost a friend. The deepest sympathy is extended to all
bereaved. – Kingston Standard. Miss

his injuries of yesterday, Willie, youngest son of Mr. Wm. Howe, aged 4 years
and 3 months. The funeral will leave
his father’s residence, 396 Cumberland street, on Sunday 20th
inst., at 2:30 p.m. Friends and
acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend. PAINFUL ACCIDENT
– A Little Boy Seriously Burned – His Recovery Doubtful – A little boy, aged
five years, the son of Mr. William Howe, painter, Cumberland street, was very
badly burned yesterday morning, his injuries being of such a serious character
that his life is despaired of. It
appears that the child went into the bathroom, which is just opposite the
room in which he sleeps, and it is supposed his clothes, the ones in which he
had slept, caught fire from a small stove
in the room. The clothing must
have caught readily and burned fiercely, as although but a few seconds
elapsed from the time the child’s screams were heard and the arrival of his
mother, he was frightfully burned. Mr.
Howe’ son, who was sitting at the dining table, was the first one to hear the
cries of his suffering brother and hastened up a back stairs to ascertain the
cause of the trouble. On reaching the
bath room door he found that the door was locked, and realizing that some danger
threatened his younger brother, he attempted without avail, to break open the
door. In the meantime, Mrs. Howe who
had heard the screams, rushed up the front staircase, and succeeded in
getting into the room by another door and her terror and sorrow may be better
imagined than described, when she saw the unfortunate boy standing beside the
door endeavoring to get outside, and calling for assistance, with his face,
head and body, terribly burned by the relentless fire, which had not at the
time of her entrance entirely consumed the child’s clothing. Mrs.
Howe instantly caught the child in her arms, and with her dress
subdued the flames. A large quantity
of raw oil was immediately applied to the little fellow’s body. Doctors Sweetland
and Macdougal made their appearance soon after the
occurrence, and prescribed the proper remedies. The doctors, upon an examination of the
body, expressed the opinion that some of the vital parts had been affected by
the fire, and the child’s recovery was therefore, extremely improbable. Mrs. Howe, who had up to this period, borne
her trouble with calmness and fortitude, fainted away, and has since been
suffering from a temporary fit of insanity brought on by the strain upon her
nerves. Mrs. Howe’s hands were found
to be slightly burned, but were not seriously injured. Morphine was administered to the child, who
rested quietly all day. The little
fellow was a great favorite with all who knew him. |

occurred in Kingston General Hospital, on Sunday, February 23rd,
of a well-known and highly respected resident of the Township of Richmond, in
the person of John E. Hudgin, in his sixty-eighth
year. He had been in ill health since
last December, and about two weeks previous to his death, was taken to the
hospital, where he passed away. He was a son of
the late James and Sarah E. Hudgin and spent his
entire life in the vicinity of Selby.
He served the Township of Richmond, as road superintendent for over
twenty years. He was a kind husband
and an indulgent father, and a man of patience and courage actuated always by
that most worthy of all motives, goodwill.
He was a life-long member of the Methodist (now United) Church. Besides his
widow, formerly Martha Hawley, he leaves to mourn his loss, two sons and one
daughter: Leonard of the R. C. A. F.,

the service. He preached a comforting
sermon from the text;
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes” and the
choir rendered appropriate music. Sympathy was

friends. The pall-bearers
were Messrs. W. A. McLeod, Adam Frisken, Dr. Tummon, Ross Dudgeon, Fred Weese
and James Rose; and the flower-bearers, Messrs., George McKnight, George Collings, Barton Collings, and

TRAGIC END OF
GEORGE HUDSON - The explosion of the Hinchinbrooke
dam in the Napanee River, near Parham, lead to tragic results on Thursday of
last week, when George Hudson, a well known and respected farmer living near
Centreville, met a watery grave. Mr.
Hudson left his home on the ill-fated morning at seven o’clock to go to
Parham. Upon arrival at the bridge
crossing the river he found the water very high. Mrs. McCumber,
and two boys and girl, were on the bank of the river near the bridge at the
time. The lady told Mr. Hudson that
she thought the bridge was unsafe for travel, but he said he felt sure it
would carry himself and rig all right.
He crossed the bridge in safety, but upon arrival at the opposite end
found a strong flow of water blocking his way. The horse refused to go father, but Mr.
Hudson, thinking the bottom was safe for travel, urged the beast on. The current of water had washed away the
bed of the road to such a depth that, upon going forward, the horse, buggy
and occupant were precipitated into the rushing torrent of water and all were
swept away. The buggy and drowned
horse were found about half a mile from the bridge, and the body of the
unfortunate young man was recovered on Saturday about forty rods from the
bridge. The funeral was held on Monday
from his late home. The dam at Hinchinbrooke is the fifth dam and is farthest up stream,
being sometimes called the head dam.
It is the custom to keep the water dammed back until late in the
summer, and then let it loose, which drowns large stretches of arable land. This dam is supposed to have been dynamited
late on Wednesday night by unknown persons and the water released, causing
the sad fatality above narrated. |

Death of Mrs.
H.W. Huff The late Mrs.
Huff was born in the Township of North Fredericksburgh, on July 12 1847,
being a daughter of the late Robert Wales. On the 22d of July 1867, she
married her now bereaved husband, and together they settled in Napanee, and
have lived in their present home ever since, a period of nearly forty-four
years. Deceased had been ill for about four years, but was able to be around
until last fall, since which time she has been confined to the house,
although able to be about the house most of the time. Mrs. Huff was a great
sufferer, but bore her trial with christian
fortitude and patience. She was tenderly cared for by her daughter, Miss
Nettie, who came home from San Francisco, Cal., two years ago to minister to
her mother's needs. Despite all that kind attention and medical skill could
do, she passed suddenly away on Tuesday afternoon, heart trouble being the
immediate cause of death. She was a kind neighbor, ever willing to assist any
one in trouble, and the world is certainly the better for her having lived in
it. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, service being held in St.
Mary Magdalene church, after which the remains were place in the vault at
Riverview cemetery. Besides her sorrowing husband, she leaves two daughters
and one son to mourn the loss of a kind and loving wife and mother. The
children are; Mrs. A.A. Bartlett, Rochester, N.Y.; Mrs. Edward Huff,
Peterboro, and Miss Nettie Huff, at home. Three sisters also survive: Mrs. H.

Huff, Rachel |
RACHEL HUFF -
Was born July 4th 1836, in the township of Adolphustown. Her parents
being intelligent and pious, she early had the teaching and example, which,
with the blessing of God, were well calculated to produce in after life the fruits of good living. In her childhood
she was caressed, as the last born, by a tender mother, blessed as the
darling of a father's generous heart, happy in the confidence of brothers and
sisters, and surrounded by all the satisfying blessings of a cheerful home.
The home of her maturing years was cloudless and crimeless; virtue finding
its fairest temple, and purity a holy sanctuary in her heart. At the age of
eighteen she was converted to God through the instrumentality of Revs. Geo. Beynon and Wm. Bryers when
travelling the Bath Circuit. The youngest of a large family, and the first to
profess Christ before the world, and although surrounded by companions who
were either halting between two opinions, backsliding from their profession,
or altogether regardless of God, she ever proved true to her first love; so
much so that she gained the confidence of all, especially of her most
intimate associates. After her conversion, having nothing to fear in the
spring tide of her first love, her speech was rapture, and her step was
buoyancy. Happiness shone brightly o'er her life being all sunshine, and time
for her treading only on flowers. She was a loving, obedient child, a kind
and thoughtful sister, an ardent, unselfish friend, and energetic and
faithful, beyond her physical strength, in the performance of every duty, and
ever ready to lend a helping hand to others. In the year 1857, she left home
to attend Adelaide Academy, Hamilton, where she made considerable progress in
the higher English, music and drawing. After returning home, she continued to
apply herself to her studies, especially to music, until she was so far
advanced as to be able to instruct others. As a missionary collector, for
many years, she was ever at her post, regardless of fatigue and
discouragement, walking many miles when no other mode of travelling was
convenient. But while she was shedding the fragrance of her love, and the light of ardent by unostentatious piety, it
became painfully evident to the quick apprehensive affections of beloved
relatives that death had marked her for his victim. Amid her vivacity and
loveliness the eye sparkles with unwonted brightness; the cheek blooms, but
there is fever, not health in its blush; a strange languor seizes her, and
she assumes that transparent radiance which is but the spirit's preparation
for the casting off of its earthly vestments - the first transition to the
sublimities of the spiritual body. the consuming
fever burns on till at length strength fails and the hollow cough peals out
its warning knell. It was now that the beautiful simplicity of our dear
sister's Christian character was more fully developed. Desiring constantly
the society of Christian people, delighting in hearing the songs of Zion,
ever anxious to see her ministers and hear them offer up prayer for her, for
God's people, but especially for the unconverted and backslider. The writer
always found her rejoicing in the prospect of soon being with Jesus. Often so
much so that her friends thought her (at times) over anxious to go. But it
was not through fear of what she might yet suffer, for she had a firm
reliance and a persevering confidence in God's sufficient grace and a
submissive willingness to suffer the will of God, ever trusting all to Jesus.
A few months before her death she obtained the long sought for blessing of
entire sanctification. Calling her mother and sisters to the bedside to
rejoice with her, telling them what great thing the Lord had done for her and
to have no fear about her as she knew if taken in her sleep all was well.
Those who visited her during the last few weeks of her illness,
can never forget the earnestness of her exhortations to them to love Jesus,
beseeching sinners to flee the wrath to come. Though always rejoicing her
happiness was sometimes so enrapturing that the expression of her face was
angelic. Two days before death came she dwelt so near heaven that she heard
its singing struck to a familiar tune. Heavenly music (she said) in which a
great many were employed. She wished them not to weep for her when she was
dying, but kneel in prayer and sing "Home of the soul" She also
chose to be sung at her funeral "Over There", Meet me in that
lovely land" "My home is there." A short time before the
messenger came, as we knelt around her bed endeavoring to comply with her
request, with sobbing heart and broken utterance, the writer repeated the
passage "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil." &c. She rallied a moment to
exclaim, "I fear no evil, no not a bit of evil do I fear:" Being
lifted up she again exclaimed, "Come Lord Jesus, come and take me to morrow." The request was answered, for it was
already tomorrow as the sun was then just beginning to scatter the darkness
from the bosom of the earth. Thus passed away from the world's dim twilight,
one of earth's most patient sufferers on the morning of the 31st
October, in the 38th year of her age. |

HUFFMAN – At
Wheatland, Wyoming on Tuesday, 29th Aug., George E. Huffman,
youngest son of Mr. Thos. A. Huffman, Napanee aged 22 years and 2 months. DIED IN A
DISTANT LAND – On Tuesday, Mr. T. A. Huffman received a despatch
from Wheatland, Wyoming, stating that his youngest son, George E. Huffman had
died there that morning. The despatch was from Dr.
F. Huffman, brother of the deceased who is practicing his profession at
Wheatland. The news will prove a shock
to a large circle of friends besides his bereaved father. George was twenty two years of age on 4th
June last, and was cut off in the first flush of young manhood, and until
recently with the prospect of a brilliant future. Deceased was a medical student at Queen’s
University, Kingston. In the winter of
1914, he contracted a severe cold which settled on his lungs. In January of that year he left for Wyoming
in search of health. Although for a time he slightly improved, the change of
climate did not prove beneficial, and he continued to decline in health until
the end came. At home George was a
universal favorite, a good boy, and at college he proved a diligent and
bright pupil, liked by both teachers and fellow students. He was in his second year in Medicine, and
passed his exams most successfully.
Deceased early became a member of the Presbyterian Church here and was
in every way an exemplary son and citizen.
He leaves besides his father, brother, Dr. Freeman Huffman, to whom
the heartfelt sympathy of all their friends and acquaintances goes out. The remains will arrive in Napanee on
Saturday midnight, and the funeral will take place from the railway station
to the Eastern cemetery at 9 o’clock on Sunday morning. |

HENRY NEELY HUFFMAN
– Something over a hundred years ago there went into the back woods of Camden
Township two brothers by the name of Huffman, Elijah and Jacob. They blazed a trail most of the distance
from the Huffman homestead on the Napanee River, just below the present town
site of Napanee, to the wilderness homesteads they were to make for
themselves in that part of Camden now known as Huffman Street, Moscow. Those pioneers, of course, are gone, and
the last of the second generation was laid to rest in Yarker Cemetery a short
time ago in the remains of Mrs. Peter VanLuven; and now one who
was of the third generation has passed away. Henry Neely
Huffman was the grandson of Jacob Huffman, the pioneer, and son of Edward
Huffman and Sarah Neely. He was born
on a portion of the old homestead on the 9th of March in the year
1866, and was, at the time of his death, which occurred on the 27th
of November, 1933, in his 68th year. By the will of
his grandmother, Mrs. Jacob Huffman, he inherited the east half of the old homestead
which he took possession of in the year 1888 and lived there with his parents
for five years when he sold the farm to George Huffman, and moved to the
village of Moscow taking possession of the house on Anthony’s Hill. Two years later he went into business in Kinburn near Ottawa with his cousin, Edward Osborne. While in Kinburn
he married Alma, daughter of Joseph Lucas of Moscow. In 1902 they returned to Camden and lived
with her parents, taking charge of the farming operations there for twelve or
thirteen years, at the end of which time they removed to their house in the
village. Mrs. Huffman died there about three years later, and Henry lived
alone for the next three years. About
twelve years ago his widowed sister, Mrs. Rombough came to live with him, and
has made her home there ever since. During the years
of his retirement Mr. Huffman engaged in agencies for farm implements and
machinery, and was also the coal dealer for the Moscow district. Through these business activities he became
well-known in the countryside. He was
a most public-spirited man, helping to promote every cause that had for its
aim the well-being of the community.
In politics he was a liberal minded Conservative, one who could see
virtues in other parties and was not blind to the errors of his own. In religion he had been raised in the
Methodist tradition, and was a strong advocate of church union. Though never having joined the church, he
was, nevertheless, a faithful attendant upon the church service in the little
stone church near his home, and an active supporter of the church’s
activities both financially and appreciatively. For several years he collected the finances
through the northern section of the Moscow appointment and without
remuneration of any kind, excepting the goodwill of the congregation, acted
as caretaker of the church for a number of years. Mr. Huffman was
popular among both young and old – he never seemed to have grown old. He was what might be called a good
mixer. He was of a fine, friendly and neighbourly temperament, jovial, humorous, fond of a good
joke, and an artist at telling a story, or relating a narrative. He had been good to his parents, giving
them a home in their old age and caring for them through the years of their
infirmities. His passing has left a
vacancy in the social body of the Moscow community that will not readily be
filled. All that now remains of him
lies in the White Church Cemetery along the highway his forefathers built,
and upon which he travelled for so many years, while his soul goes marching
on. One brother,
Rev. Archibald of Aurora, and one sister, Mrs. Bella Rombough, who had lived
with him for the past twelve years, are left to mourn his demise. |

OBITUARY - HIRAM
HUFFMAN - On Saturday last, 20th
January, Hiram Huffman, one of North Fredericksburgh's most respected
citizens, passed from earth to join the great majority. The neighborhood in
which he lived has lost one who was ever ready to give a helping hand to
those in need as also to take an active part in anything tending to the
welfare of the community. The deceased lived and died on the farm where he
was born and which descended to him from his father and grandfather. Mr.
Huffman was of U.E. Loyalist descent, his grandfather having been one of the
celebrated Butler's Rangers, in the Revolutionary war. In politics he was a
conservative, and served his municipality as township councillor for a number
of years. Deceased had been in his usual health up to Sunday morning, 14th
inst., when he was suddenly taken with a severe pain in the region of his
heart. Medical aid was summoned but temporary relief was all that could be
given him and he gradually sank until Saturday noon when death came and he
passed away in the 68th year of his age. Mr. Huffman was married in early
life to Miss Elizabeth Amey, of Ernesttown, who died some years ago. He
leaves to mourn his loss two sons and three daughters, Ezra, on the old
homestead; James of Prince Edward County; Mrs. B. Steinburg,
of Trenton; Mrs. Arthur Loyst, South Fredericksburgh, and Mrs. John Brown,
Hay Bay, besides one brother Edward, of Richmond and four sisters, Mrs.
Daniel Outwater and Mrs. A. Pringle, of Napanee; Mrs. Jesse Amey, Ernestown,
and Mrs. John Sills, of South Fredericksburgh, and many dear friends who will
deeply mourn his departure. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church
and took a deep interest in the new church at Sand Hill. Although a man of
few words on religious matters, still he had firm faith in the promises of
God, and that he had made an acknowledgment to friends during his short
illness that he had tried to live a true Christian life for the past five
years, and was ready when God saw fit to call him home. The funeral on Monday
was a very large one, the remains being placed in the Napanee cemetery vault,
where they will be left until spring, when they will be removed to the family
plot at Hay Bay. Death of Hiram
Huffman One of the old
land marks of North Fredericksburgh passed away on Saturday last in the
person of Mr. Hiram Huffman, Hay Bay, aged sixty
eight years. Deceased was ill but one week. He was of U.E. loyalist stock,
his grandfather being the first settler on the farm where he lived and died.
Members of the fifth generation are living on the farm, which has been in the
hands of the family since the country's first settlement. His father, the
late John Huffman, and the deceased were both born on the same farm. He was
married to Miss Elizabeth Amey, Ernesttown, who predeceased him some years.
Two sons and three daughters survive; they are Ezra, who resides on the homestead;
James living in Prince Edward county; Carrie Steinberg (Trenton); Maggie

HUFFMAN - At
Napanee, on Saturday March 11th , James Conrad Huffman, aged 88
years and 10 months PASSED OVER THE
RIVER - During the present week four well known residents of Napanee and
vicinity, passed over to the vast majority, full of years and confident of a
sure resurrection. The first, and eldest
is JAMES CONRAD HUFFMAN
whose picture heads this column. Mr. Huffman was a more than usually
representative man, in church and municipal affairs, and was widely known and
respected. For over fifty years he was
an esteemed resident of our town, an upright business man, loving husband and
father, faithful church member, reliable civic official. Deceased was born about two miles southwest
of the village of Bath, on the town line between Ernesttown and South Fredericksburgh,
on the shores of the Bay of Quinte, May 20th 1821, his ancestors
being United Empire Loyalists. When a
young man he clerked for the late John Benson, who kept a general store on
the corner of Dundas and East sts., where M.V.W.
Harts music store now stands. Later he
was employed in a store in Kingston.
When about 23 years of age he married Almira
Garratt, and moved to a farm near Moscow, from which he removed a couple of
years later to the farm now owned by Mr. John Garrison, in Ernesttown. In 1853, with others, he contracted the ‘gold
fever’ and went to Australia where he remained two years. Shortly after his return, he came to
Napanee and entered into partnership with the late Dr. David Ash in the drug
business, their store being on the site now occupied by the Coxali Co. After a
year, in 1856, he bought out the Dr., and continued the business alone until
1872 when his son, Mr. T. A. Huffman, was taken into the business, being an
active member of the firm until February 2d last, when he had a faint spell,
from which although able to be about, he never recovered. Mr. Huffman took a keen interest in
municipal affairs, and was the second Mayor of our town, which position he
occupied for four successive years – 1868-1871. The first Mayor was the late Benj. C.
Davy. Deceased was also at times a
member of our town council, reeve and deputy reeve, and was also coroner,
holding his first inquest April 14th 1875. Mr. Huffman was a life-long Methodist and
was converted under the preaching of Rev. John Bull at the White Church,
Morven, over fifty years ago, and was a faithful and prominent member of the
Western Methodist church from that time until his death. In politics, Mr. Huffman was a Liberal, but
was willing that everyone should exercise his own judgment in such
matters. Deceased was the last of a
family of twelve. He leaves a
daughter, Mrs. Freeman Lane, who kept his home since her mother’s death, and
anticipated his every wish and one son, our esteemed townsman Mr. Thos. A.
Huffman. The funeral service was held
in the Western Methodist church on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the remains
lying in state for an hour before in the sacred edifice which during his long
life was so dear to him, and of which he was so faithful a member and
official. The church was full of our
townspeople, and many from the surrounding country, anxious to pay a last
tribute of respect to so worthy a citizen.
The services were taken part in by his pastor, Rev. J.R. Real, and Revds W. S. Emsley, J. S. White
and J.P. Wilson, who said he had come to bid farewell to his father’s friend
and also one of his dearest friends from boyhood until the present time. The remains were placed in the Western
vault to await interment later. The
drug stores of the town, were closed during the
service out of respect for deceased. |

MRS. MARY ANNE
HUFFMAN - This excellent Christian woman passed away to her eternal rest, May
26, 1893, in the seventy-fifth year of her age. She was the oldest daughter
of the late Mr. Benjamin Clark, of Ernestown, who for many years was a
faithful member and official of the Switzerville church - one of the old
historic churches of early Methodism. Her whole subsequent life bore blessed
fruits of the pious training she received in that godly home. She was
converted to God at a camp meeting in 1846, held in the neighborhood of her
home, and that conversion evidenced its genuineness by a most exemplary and
beneficent Christian life extending over a period of some forty seven years.
In 1842 she was married to Mr. Henry Huffman, which proved to be a most happy
union for both. Her aged and honored husband with three children, Mr. C. B.
Huffman, of South Fredericksburgh, Mrs. (Rev.) W. H. Rowson,
of Burlington, and Mrs. G. N. Frazer of Napanee, survive. She was greatly
beloved by many of the old Methodist ministers, such as Revs. James Gray, C.
Fish, and Dr. John A. Williams (her brother-in-law) Her interest in the
Woman's Missionary Society was intense, and from its beginning she took an
active part in promoting its welfare. Six years ago she became a life member
of the Society. Her interest was equally great in the important subject of
systematic giving, of which she had very enlightened views, and carried them
out into faithful practice. Many a delightful and profitable hour as the
writer spent in the society of this noblehearted
Christian woman. He can cheerfully endorse what one of her former pastors,
Rev. William Sheridan, has said; “Thinking over the many noble Christian
women we have met, she was one of the most unselfish. We have never forgotten
her willingness to sacrifice herself to keep and comfort and encourage us. It
is a benediction to have known her. Her end was in harmony with her Christian
profession and life; it was most peaceful, most triumphant, most blessed. Her
last hours were spent in prayer for her family, the Church, her neighborhood,
the Woman's Missionary Society and the heathen. The funeral was the largest
seen in this region for a long time, and was a deeply impressive occasion.
The Lord be with her sorrowing partner and family.
Bath. Ont. James C. Seymour. THE LATE MRS.
HENRY HUFFMAN - Seldom does a death at the ripe age of seventy-five years
bring such real regret and sorrow as that of Mrs. Henry Huffman which took
place, at her residence, Forest Hill, South Fredericksburgh, in the early
morning of Friday, May 26. Her many excellencies of disposition and character
endeared her to all. The main object of her life, after her conversion which
occurred in 1846, was to do good she labored earnestly and constantly for the
welfare of others. The young and the aged, the poor, and sick and dying all
claimed and had her attention and help. Nothing gave her more pleasure than
to give of her - - - and to the support and extension of the cause of Christ.
She was enthusiastic in the work of the women's missionary society and
labored earnestly to press the claims upon the christian
women of the neighbourhood. It was a subject of her solicitude and prayers,
even to the last hours of her life. Mrs. Huffman was
the daughter of the late Benjamin Clark, Ernesttown, and was married to her
now bereaved and sorrowing husband on Aug. 24th, 1842. three children
"rise up to call her blessed" - one son and two daughters - Cyrus

and the children that of a most devoted and loving mother. The funeral took
place on Sunday, 28th from the family residence to Bethel church, and was
very largely attended from all parts of the country, showing plainly the

Huffman, Milo |
Milo Huffman, an aged and highly respected
resident of Moscow passed away. Surviving members of his immediate family
include his widow and three children, Mrs. John Judge of Moscow, Everett
Huffman of Hartington and Garnet Huffman on the homestead. Mrs. Neil Milsap
and Lola passed away some years ago. There are also seven grandchildren and
one great grandchild. Mr. Huffman was born in 1847, the youngest son of
the late Peter Huffman of United Empire Loyalist stock and one of the early
pioneers of the Huffman Settlement, later known as Moscow. His mother was
Charlotte Parks of the Napanee district and he was named after his uncle, the
late Milo Parks a name associated with the early settlement of the Township
of North Fredericksburgh. Mr. Huffman at the time of his death was
eighty-seven years old and had resided continuously on the same farm all his
life. He was a life-long member of the Methodist Church (later the United
Church) and for over fifty years an honored trustee. Mr. Huffman was a
prominent Mason and for fifty-nine years a member of Victoria Lodge No. 299,
Centerville under whose auspices the funeral services were held. A few years
ago, Mr. Huffman was made an honorary member of Victoria Lodge, in
recognition of his long and faithful services to the craft. Mr. Huffman was married in 1869 in Grace Methodist
Church, Napanee to Jane Ann Hambly, a sister of C.W. Hambly, ex-M.P.P. of
Napanee and George Hambly of North Fredericksburgh. Mr. and Mrs. Huffman only
last year celebrated their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary. In politics, Mr. Huffman was a life-long
Conservative and a great admirer of Rt. Hon. R.B. Bennett, Prime Minister of
Canada and cherished very much a letter of congratulation received from Mr.
Bennett on the occasion of the sixty-fifth wedding anniversary. Mr. Huffman
was one of twelve stalwart Conservatives (all over eighty years of age)
residing in the Township of Camden, who in 1930 just prior to the last
Federal election sat for a picture on the lawn of H.R. Purcell at Colebrook.
Each of the twelve had voted for the National Policy of Sir John Macdonald in
1878 and on July the 28, 1930, again supported the policy of Rt. Hon. R.B.
Bennett. The funeral was held from his late residence to
the United Church and was followed by a large concourse of relatives and
friends who filled the Church to overflowing. Rev. Mr. McKenzie preached an
impressive and appropriate sermon from the 46th Psalm and spoke
highly of the exemplary life Mr. Huffman had lived. The remains rest in the family plot in the Moscow
Cemetery awaiting the resurrection morn. |

A Sudden Death - Victoria,
daughter of the late C.W. Huffman, Ernesttown, died suddenly at the home of her
brother-in-law, Mr. Edward Kayler, on Sunday night,
aged 28 years. Deceased had been in town on Friday and Saturday in usual good
health, and retired as usual that evening at 11 o'clock. Shortly after Mr. Kayler heard a strange noise, but thought it was made by
the children downstairs. He heard it again, and on investigating Miss Huffman
was found in an unconscious state. Drs. Grant and Simpson were summoned, but
she died before they arrived. Deceased had her trunk already packed for her
departure for Boston, where she had been in training for a nurse. She had but
little over two months to put in before receiving her diploma. The doctors
pronounced heart trouble as the cause of death. Three sisters, two living in
Morven, Mrs. Ed. Kayler and Mrs. Sheldon Joyce, and
Mrs. Bell of Dakota, and three brothers in the northwest are left to mourn.
Deceased was a cousin of Messrs. Harvey and Damon Warner, Napanee, and was a bright and lovable girl, and a great favorite with
her many friends in and about Napanee. Her mother died in Napanee about a
year ago. The funeral, which took place at the White church on Wednesday
afternoon, was largely attended by our towns people. |

WM. McC. S. B. HUFFMAN - In the death of
Wm. McC. S. B. Huffman which occurred at the family
residence on the 8th day of April 1893, another of the old
residents has been removed from the township of Sheffield. He was born Dec 19th, 1826, and
is reported to be the first white child born in the township, his parents
James and Flora Bell Huffman, being some of the earliest there. The deceased spent his whole life (a period
upwards of sixty-six years) in the township in which he was born, highly
esteemed, and respected by all. In the
year 1859 he married Miss Jane McGill, who still survives him and is now left
a widow to mourn his loss. Their
family consisted of seven children, four sons and three daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Huffman were converted at an
early age and became members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church and entered on
their married life. In the fear of God,
“Partness of like precious faith”, they naturally
shared each others joys and sorrows, for nearly
thirty-four years. Mr. Huffman’s
sickness was somewhat of a lingering character, but when the end came, he was
found ready, peaceful, triumphant. His funeral was largely attended and the
occasion unproved in the Methodist Church at Tamworth (of which he was a
member and at an earlier day exercising in public) by Rev. H. I Allen, from Rev. 14 13. His remains were entered in the Methodist
Cemetery adjoining the village. |

Hughes, Mrs.
Amos |
OBITUARY - A
deep gloom was cast over the entire community, when the sad news spread of
the serious accident which occurred to Mrs. Amos Hughes, on Monday, Dec. 24th,
1917, at 10 a.m. In spite of all that medical
aid and loving hands could do, deep sleep crept peacefully upon her, and she
passed to the loving arms of her Saviour at 2 p.m. Deceased was born August 29th,
1875. She was ever ready to help
anyone in need, and cheerfully administered to the sick or distressed in any
way. She was much loved and very
highly respected by all who knew her, a kind neighbor, a faithful wife and a
loving mother. It seems so hard to see
a young life like Alice cut off in prime, but let us say in our deep sorrow,
“Thy will be done:. She has been
called to a higher service. We sorrow
not for her, but for those who have been left behind. Besides her broken-hearted husband, and
mother, Mrs. Thomas Penny, she leaves to mourn her loss four small
children. The bereaved ones have the
deepest heartfelt sympathy of the whole community. Deceased was a
member of Camden V. Presbyterian Church from her girlhood, and was ever
present on The Sabbath day. She also
attended the weekly prayer meetings at Sharpe’s Corners, where it was always
her delight to worship and do her part in helping on her Master’s cause. Her remains were
removed from her late residence on Wednesday, at 1.30 and proceeded
to Camden V. Church, followed by a very large procession to pay their last
tribute of respect to a truly beloved neighbour. The service was conducted by the Pastor,
Rev. Mr. MacLean, who preached an earnest and impressive sermon from St. Mark
13:37. “What I say unto you, I say
unto all, watch”. He was assisted by
Rev. Mr. Cook. The beautiful casket
was laden with choice flowers tributes of respect from her many friends from
far and near. We shall meet our
departed sister in the dawning of eternal morning. It is not on earth that Heavenly justice
ends. Think what earth is compared to
the world to which her spirit has winged its flight. |

Jane (nee

OBITUARY - Mrs.
Samuel Hughes. Mrs. Samuel
Hughes, nee Eliza Jane Doupe, died on January 7th,
at the age of 57 years. Born in Camden
Township, a daughter of the late Samuel and Susanna Doupe,
she was well and favourable known in her early home
neighborhood, and also for the past twenty-one years in Roblin
community. Until a comparatively
recent period she was able to perform her daily duties, but the disease
eventually conquered and she peacefully passed away confident of a happy
meeting with her Saviour in that glorious place He has prepared for his
followers. Mrs. Hughes was
of a kindly and sympathetic disposition.
She lived for others. Wherever
illness or distress of any kind appeared she was ready with her practical aid
and cheerful service. Her
ministrations were quietly performed.
It was not the praise of humanity she wanted, but the approval of her master for her benefactions were done as
unto Him. She was a highly esteemed
member of Roblin Methodist Church, and a generous supporter of the Woman’s
Missionary Society. The Saviour’s love was uppermost in her thought on that last
Sunday spent on earth as indicated in her choice of hymns to be sung and
scripture read, “Hark the Herald
Angels Sing”, “I Love to Tell the Story”, “Softly and
Tenderly Jesus is Calling”, and Luke 23: 33-38. Besides her
sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, one surviving sister, Anna,
and three brothers, Joseph, Samuel and Jacob Doupe,
of Centreville. The funeral
service in Roblin Methodist Church, on January 8th, was very
impressive. The church was filled with
relatives and friends. The Choir rendered
appropriate selections, and the Pastor, Rev. C. J. Wilson, preached from the
text, Matthew 25:34. The remains were
taken to Centreville vault, and next spring will be interred in Camden V.
cemetery. |

Hughes, Marion |
OBITUARY The community of
Croydon received another shock on Sunday night, March 3rd, when
the news spread of the death of Miss Marion Hughes, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Hughes. Although Marion
had not been in the best of health the past few years, with Diabetes, her
death came as a great shock, as she was feeling as well as usual up until
Saturday morning, when she took a chill.
Dr. Horton was called in, and all that loving hands could do was done,
but of no avail. Marion was a
bright young girl of just sixteen years and nine months old, of fine
personality and cheerful disposition.
She made a host of friends throughout her life, which was marked by
her kindness and friendliness at all times. She leaves to
mourn her loss, her heart-broken parents, two brothers, James and Harold. The funeral
service was held on Tuesday afternoon, at Reidville United Church, when Rev.
M. Beckstead preached a very impressive sermon to a
crowded church of friends and neighbours.
The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, which showed the high
esteem in which she was held. Parents
and brothers, wheel with broken spoke, of roses and carnations; Mr. and Mrs. Kelusky
and daughters, Vereen and Leola, Bancroft, wreath
roses and narcisses; Annie Close, sheaf of Easter lilies; L.O.L. and L.O.B.A., pillow, roses and
carnations; Women’s Institute, broken
circle of roses. The pall bearers were
Sidney Griffen, Leonard Martin, Geo. Sharpe, Glen Lochhead, Earl Teskey and
Raymond Campbell. The sympathy of
the whole community goes out to the parent and brothers in their sad
bereavement. |

JOHN HAM HUGHS On Xmas morning,
Dec. 25th, 1917, there passed to his reward one of the pioneers of Richmond
Township, in the person of John Ham Hughs, at the
advanced age of 81 years, 8 months, and 21 days. His father, Thomas Godfrey Hughs, was born at New Amsterdam, New York State in 1793,
and came to Canada early in the Nineteenth century. His mother, Elizabeth A.
Shorts, was a daughter of Philip Shorts, one of the pioneer Methodist
preachers, a man of great ability and of U.E. Loyalist stock. They were
married in Fredericksburgh, in the year 1818 and settled two miles west of
Selby, when all that part was an almost unbroken forest. There they resided
until the subject of this sketch was 16 years of age, when they removed to
Roblin, to the farm where he lived for sixty-five years, and where his son,
John, now resides. At the age of 25 years, he was married to Ellen McConnell,
daughter of John McConnell, and they were both converted to God the next
summer at a camp meeting held at Roblin under the auspices of Rev. John
Pomeroy. Their home was always a welcome place for ministers both before and
after the Union of Wesleyan and Methodist Episcopal bodies, and Brother Hughs' ability as an exhorter, class leader and Sunday
School Superintendent will long be remembered by the older inhabitants of
Roblin. Funeral services were conducted at Roblin Methodist church on
Thursday, Dec 27th and the remains were taken to the Western cemetery vault,
Napanee, and placed beside his wife, who only predeceased him about four
weeks. His last words to his son were "I have no regrets. I have done
the best I could, and am going to my reward." He leaves to mourn his
loss one daughter, Mrs. Wm. N. Robinson, of Napanee, and one son, John, on
the homestead. |

LILLY JANE
HUMPHREY - Lilly Jane, the
daughter of Wm. and Jane Humphrey, was born in Stratford, 1861, and died at the
residence of her parents, September 30th, 1886, after a short but
painful illness of an affection of the brain.
In 1872, she united with the Methodist Church, Stratford, and from
that day to the day of her death, she remained a useful, active and consistent
member. During the ten years of her
religious life in Stratford, she was particularly useful as a teacher in the
Sunday school and a singer in the choir, and by her affable disposition, she
endeared herself to both old and young; and when they were about to leave for
Delaware township, the friends felt to part with her was indeed to part with
a friend. In 1882, she
united with the Methodist Church at Kilworth,
Delaware Circuit;
again found her way in the Sunday school and choir, for which
she had such adaptation, and like a true and tried soldier she remained at
her post until the Master called her back to himself. To work for God truly was the delight of
her soul. She was by no means
disobedient; her motto in life was “Work for the night is coming.” The night has come and she sleeps. On Saturday,
October 3rd, 10.30 a.m., the friends gathered to take the last
look, and bid adieu to that familiar face; a short service at the house and
the body borne away to Stratford for interment. The funeral took place Sunday, October 4th,
from Mr. John Read’s Wellington Street, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Cunningham,
October 10th, at Kilworth, where the
departed worshipped, a funeral sermon was preached
by the pastor, the Rev. J. Vale, from Ps
x 12, to a very large and deeply affected congregation. Her Sunday
school class sat there, but no teacher.
The organ was fittingly draped, beside which she stood so
faithfully. The choir sang in a very
impressive manner, “Sister, we shall miss thee.: May we all meet again in the morning. COM. |

HURLBURT FUNERAL
HELD AT SCRANTON PA. - The Scranton,
(Pa.) Times of Monday says of the late Charles W. Hurlburt, a former resident
of State street, this city: The
funeral of Charles W. Hurlbut, who died Saturday
morning after a lingering illness, was held this morning from the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel H. Stevens, 447 Clay avenue.
Services were conducted at the house by Rev. J. D. Skilton,
of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, at 11 o’clock. They were attended only by the relatives of
the deceased, the funeral being private.
The high esteem in which Mr. Hurlbut was
held was attested by the number of oral tributes in the parlor of the
Stevens’ home, where the body reposed.
The pall bearers were: Lawrence
M. Connell, Carlton A. Connell, Walter P. Stevens, Harold R. VanDuesen, Frank E. Donnelley and S. S. Derman. Interment
was made in the Dunmore cemetery.
Death came as a blessed relief to Charles W. Hurlbut,
who had for the last four years been making a gallant, though losing fight,
against that dread disease, tuberculosis.
Thirteen years ago he married Helen Louise Stevens, only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Sam H. Stevens, and a year of so after
went South and located in Atlanta, Ga., as the manager of a five and ten cent
store for the firm of S. H. Kress & Co.
When he took charge his store was No. 9 in rating, but by his able
management it came into first rank the first year he was in their
service. But Mr. Hurlbut
broke his health by devotion to the business and for nearly four years had
been unable to do anything but try to regain his health. As he did not seem to do so, last October
the family came North and made their home with the Stevens family. Mr. Hurlbut was
born in Canada, 38 years ago. Besides
his widow, two sons, John and Charles, Jr., aged eight and 11, and one
sister, Mrs. Alfred E. Moore, of Watertown, N.Y. survive him. His wife and sister were with him when the
end came. |

Frozen to Death On Sunday last,
as two boys were skating on the bay near Grassy Point, on the Prince Edward
shore, they discovered the body of a man, frozen stiff, lying on the ice.
Upon examination it proved to be the body of John Huyck, senior, of
Adolphustown, an old man of eighty-one years of age. It appears he had been absent
from home some days, but as he was in the habit of visiting among the
neighbors, no anxiety was felt by his family about him. On Thursday evening
some parties on the Prince Edward side of the by heard some
one shouting; but they paid no attention to it, supposing it to
proceed from some intoxicated person driving on the ice. It seems probable
that the cries proceeded from the poor old man, who must have lost his way in
attempting to cross the ice, as the night was very foggy. An inquest was held
on the body on Monday, by Dr. Chamberlain, County Coroner, when a verdict of
Accidental Death was recorded, in accordance with the above facts. |

his horse stumbled and threw its rider. One foot was held fast in the

its master to death and then escaped, leaving him in the middle of the
highway. After being picked up he breathed faintly about ten minutes, but

Peter Huyck In the death of
Mr. Peter Huyck, the Gosport district has lost one of its best known and most
highly respected citizens. The sad event took place at his late residence on
Tuesday afternoon, April 25th. Up until a few months ago the deceased was in
comparatively good health, but had been under the doctor's care for some
little time, consequently his death came as a shock to his many friends. Mr.
Huyck leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved wife, two daughters, Mrs.
Clarence Baird, of Hawley, and Mrs. Davis, of Toronto; also two sons, Bruce
and Guy. His brother, Mr. John Huyck, and two sisters, Mrs. F.H. Armitage and
Mrs. E.J. Sexsmith, also survive him. Mr. Huyck was a
loyal member of the United Church and for many years was Superintendent of
Hay Bay Sunday School, an office he held with much distinction. Recently
however, he became teacher of the Adult Bible Class, where his services were
greatly appreciated. His intimate knowledge of the scriptures made him a very
efficient teacher. Upon the consummation of Union in 1925, he was elected to
the Eldership of the Church, and held that office until his death. He was a
good singer and used his talent to good advantage in the services of the church. Mr. Huyck was
deeply interested in community affairs and gave himself to every worthwhile
project for the betterment of society. His funeral
service on Thursday afternoon was conducted by his minister Rev. A.C. McCallum,
who paid a fitting tribute to a life well lived. He
was assisted by the Rev. E.D. Sexsmith, of Cardinal, Ont., a
nephew of the deceased. The Hay Bay choir led the singing, and sang a number.
Mr. Wartman sang, "In the Garden". There were beautiful floral
tributes, which indicated the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Burial took
place at Riverside Cemetery, Napanee. The following were pallbearers: Rae

died suddenly in Toronto last Thursday, apparently in good health, until he
suffered a heart attack while at work as a salesman with General Motors. He was rushed to hospital, but a second
attack led to his death. Born in

Hyatt, Mary (nee Ruttan) |
The Oldest in
County The passing by death
of Mrs. Mary Ruttan Hyatt at Picton on July 28th, in her
ninety-eighth year is remarkable not alone for her longevity of life but from
the fact that she was the oldest person at the time of her death that was
born in the county of Prince Edward. Mrs. Hyatt was born in a log house
(burned down long ago) near the shore of the Bay of Quinte, about two miles
west of Glenora, on the old Ruttan farm. She was the youngest daughter of
Abram Ruttan and Catherine Ellis, his wife. Mrs. Hyatt’s father was a soldier,
born in Duchess county, New York, and a direct descendant of the Ruttans,
U.E. Loyalists, that landed with other Loyalists at Adolphustown the 16th
of June, 1784. Abram Ruttan, Mrs. Hyatt’s father was given a grant of land by
the king, near what is now called Demorestville, in Prince Edward county,
which sold later to a man by the name of Doolittle. He then acquired 200
acres near Glenora, running from the bay shore south to the Greenbush line.
On this farm Mrs. Hyatt was born. She is the last of her father’s family of
eleven children, seven sons and four daughters. The late Abram Ruttan,
Picton, a brother of Mrs. Hyatt, was the youngest of the family. |
