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, 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 is 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.

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 my son.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 NEIGHBOUR

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.

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.

George

 

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.  [signed] N.

Rev. Robert Harding, for many years rector of old St. Paul's Adolphustown, died at Napanee on Friday, aged eighty-nine years.

   

Funeral of the Aged Minister

The funeral of the late Rev. R. Harding took place at the church of St. Alban the Martyr, Adolphustown. Before leaving Napanee a memorial service was held in St. Mary Magdalene Church. Clergy served as pallbearers, the casket being borne by old friends of deceased. The holy communion was celebrated by Rural Dean Baker, and Rev. F.D. Woodcock acting as gospeller and epistoler respectively. During the service the body rested in the choir, the clergy watching on either side.

At Adolphustown, the Rev. R.S. Forneri, rector, and several other clergymen received the funeral procession, which was augmented by a large number of Mr. Harding's old parishioners. The service in the church was very impressive. At Mr. Harding's own request no word of eulogy or funeral address marred the grand simplicity of the Anglican rite, the only departure from the regular form being the insertion of the prayer for the "church millitant" in commemoration of the faithful departed. At the grave the prayers were said by the rector and Rev. A. Jarvis, of Napanee.

The sudden passing in the Kingston General Hospital on Sunday, August 27th, of Ralph Harrison, 43, only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Blake Harrison of Adolphustown, came as a great shock to the community.

Death of F.W. Hart

Word was received in town on Monday announcing the death at his home in Hannah, Alberta, of Mr. F.W. Hart, for many years a resident of Napanee. Mr. Hart passed away on Thursday morning and the funeral service took place at the Anglican Church on Friday afternoon at Hannah, his illness having been of a duration of about three months. His passing will come as a great shock to his friends here. About four years ago Mr. Hart left the West and came to Napanee and spent several months here having rented a farm in Adolphustown, but having a desire to return where his family were residing, he again returned to Alberta. Prior to leaving for the West many years ago, he was, for a number of years, successful in the retail organ and piano business in Napanee knowing the business thoroughly and the name of Hart was well-known throughout the country. While in Napanee, he was a regular attendant at Napanee Lodge, No. 861 I.O.O.F. and was for some years pianist at the lodge. He was a member of the Anglican Church. To mourn his loss he leaves his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Isica, Athabaska, Mabel, at home; and three sons, George, Frank and Borden. Mrs. Archie Thompson, South Napanee, is a sister of Mrs. Hart.

OBITUARY - Mrs. 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.

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 done.

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.

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 Hydrophobia - A melancholy event, the like of which is fortunately of very rare occurrence, transpired here last week. A little boy, about eight years 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 trust we shall have no more cases of the kind to chronicle.

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 Kingston. One brother, Mr. J.M. Joyce, of Napanee, also survives. Her sisters, Mrs. T.A. Percy, Mrs. (Rev.) T.H. Richards, and her brothers, William, Samuel and Sheldon, predeceased her some years ago.

Her funeral is to be held at the family residence, Bridge St., Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. with Rev. Harry Pawson of Trinity Church in charge. Interment will follow at Riverside Cemetery.

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 brothers and sisters who predeceased him were Charles Hawley, Miss Mary Anna Hawley, Mrs. Amanda Gunn, and John Hawley.

The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at the residence, Thomas Street. It was conducted by the Venerable Archdeacon Dumbrille of St. Mary Magdalene Church, of which Mr. Hawley was a member.

Mr. Dumbrille was assisted in the service by Bishop Renison of St. Paul's Cathedral, Toronto, a nephew of Mrs. Hawley.

Interment followed at Riverside cemetery in the Bristol plot.

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.

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."

Obituary - Mrs. J. C. Hawley - Mary Collins, beloved wife of Mr. John C. Hawley, of Napanee, died 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 fireside, howso'ere defended

But has one vacant chair!

 

Another very sad 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 Fredericksburgh, at whose place the death took place. Deceased was in her thirty-fifth year, and leaves, besides her husband, four small children to mourn the loss of a tender wife and devoted mother.

On Monday morning at two o'clock the spirit of Nettie Hawley, youngest daughter of Mrs. William Hawley, Robert street, winged its flight to that happy realm above. Deceased was aged twenty-four years and one month and was a victim of that fell disease, consumption. Nettie was a girl of a lovely and amiable disposition, and beloved by all her acquaintances and friends.

She was tenderly nursed all through her illness by her loving mother and sister, who are receiving the condolences of very many friends in this, their hour of trouble. Deceased was born in Ernesttown near Morven, and after the death of her father, the late William Hawley, which occurred about twenty years ago, the mother with her little family of three children moved to Picton to be near her relatives, and after living there some ten or twelve years they came to Napanee, and have been amongst us ever since.

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 attended.

Joseph L. Haycock Dead

Joseph L. Haycock, a grand old political fighter, passed away on Monday at the home of his son, Joseph L. Haycock, Jr. deputy-sheriff of Lennox and Addington.

Mr. Haycock Sr., was 87 years of age and had been in ill health for some time. He was a native of Lennox & Addington having been born at Switzerville in Ernesttown Township. His lifetime was spent in Frontenac and 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 Scotch parentage, Mr. Haycock was born at Switzerville. His lifetime was spent in Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Counties, in Adolphustown, Kingston and latterly in Napanee. His wife, formerly Martha Grange, of Napanee, predeceased him five years ago. They had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1927. During his term of office in the Legislature he moved for the abolition of Government House and all the Conservatives voted in favor of it, but the Liberals solidly opposed it. At the Bournemouth 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 daughters survive. The sons are J.L. Haycock, Napanee; George H. Haycock, Montreal and A.W. Haycock, ex-MP for Stratford, England. The daughters are Mrs. P.L. Webb, Kingston and Mrs. Dr. Ferguson, Montreal.

The funeral will be held on Wednesday at 2.30 from the residence of his son. Interment will be in Riverside Cemetery.

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.

MR. WILLIAM HENDERSON

On Monday, May 8th, Mr. William Henderson, an aged and much respected citizen of this district, died at his home on the Kingston Highway, about one mile east of Napanee.

He is survived by his widow and one son, John, who resides in Toronto.  There are besides four brothers, George, Thomas, Robert and Andrew, and five sisters, Mrs. German, Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Masters, Mrs. Hudgins and Mrs. Bird.

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 W.R. Henwood

The township of North Fredericksburgh and the Morven community lost a highly esteemed resident on Saturday morning in the death of William R. Henwood at the advanced age of 84 years. Mr. Henwood was taken ill about four weeks ago and heart trouble was the cause of death. For the past seventy years he had been an honored resident of Morven and there was no one in the community who was better known.

A son of Daniel Henwood and Jeminah Reynolds, the deceased was born in the city of Kingston and came to Morven when fourteen years of age. His parents were natives of England and came to Canada during the year of the rebellion between Upper and lower Canada. His father was a most successful farmer and the son followed in his footsteps.

The deceased was a member of the Morven United Church and in politics was a strong Conservative. He had a very quiet disposition but the friendships which he made were lasting. Besides his widow who before her marriage was Miss Melinda Clarke of Switzerville, one son and five daughters are left to mourn; Will Henwood of Sandhurst; Mrs. George Fralick of Morven; Mrs. Harry Curran of Alberta; Mrs. (Rev.) J.M. Lovelace of Manilla, Ont., and Mrs. Clarence Wilton of Kingston who was with her father during his illness and Bessie of the General Motors staff, Oshawa.

The funeral service took place on Monday afternoon and was held at his late residence. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends and the service was conducted by Rev. R.W. Street, of Morven. Beautiful floral tributes banked the casket. Interment took place in the White Church cemetery.

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. Howard Cryan, Capt. Geo. O’Brien and Messrs. A. E. Wilson, Desmond Shannon and Howard Vandusen, the latter of Toronto.  Messrs.

OBITUARY -  Mrs. W. S. Herrington

Deep grief was felt throughout the town in the late afternoon of Sunday, March 6th, when the news spread of the death of Mrs. Herrington, wife of Walter S. Herrington, K.C.  Mrs. Herrington’s 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.

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.

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 Anglican Church, and a member of the Masonic Order.

Besides his wife, he leaves three daughters and one son to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father.  One brother, Mr. Wm. Hill, of Toronto, and two sisters, also survive.

When but a lad he, with his brother Joseph, served an apprenticeship with Mr. John Gibbard, of this town, and together for a time, they made fanning mills in Camden, and then Thomas carried on the business alone. He bought a farm near the old homestead, and on the 27th Feb., 1849, was married to Mary M. Quigley, daughter of the late Ogden Quigley, by whom he had eight children, one of whom died in infancy.

He was again married to Mrs. Mary A.E. Shephard on May 20th, 1891, who also survives him. He was one of a family of nine children of whom his brother Joseph, living in North Fredericksburgh, is the only surviving member. For a number of years deceased was a member of the Church of England, but in his later days he became a member of the Methodist church, and passed away leaning with implicit confidence on the Saviour whom in his hours of pain and trial he had learned to love and trust most fully. He was a member of the Masonic body, and a staunch Conservative. Deceased was a strong, rugged man until about five years ago when he had a slight stroke, since which time he had never been strong, and for the past three years had been almost a constant sufferer, notwithstanding the tender care and ministrations of his wife and family.

Charles R. Hoover – Going about town in his usual health on Thursday, retiring for the night about 10 o’clock, and being overtaken by a stroke of paralysis from which he never regained consciousness up to the time of his death on Saturday was the fate of Charles Ruttan Hoover.  The late Mr. Hoover was born in the township of North Marysburgh 75 years ago.  He married a daughter of the late Thomas Waring and to them one child, Mrs. Charles H. Rogers of London, Ont., was born.  Mr. Hoover followed the occupation of farming and was considered a successful man.  Of late years he has been living retired in Picton.  He was of a very sociable disposition, fond of the company of his friends and was ever a prominent and welcome companion among them.  Besides his widow and daughter he leaves to mourn, two sisters, Mrs. Jaspar Dingman of Picton, and Mrs. David Bradshaw of Foxboro.  Mr. Hoover was a staunch conservative in politics, and adherent to the First Methodist Church and although he never sought public office, it was his pleasure to sit as a member of the high school board for some nine years and out of respect for him the flag of the school was at half mast.  The funeral took place on Monday.  Rev. J. J. Rae and Rev. W.L. Armitage conducted a private service for the family at two o’clock and owing to Mr. Rae being called out of town by the afternoon train Mr. Armitage conducted the public service at three o’clock.  The funeral was largely attended and by most of the prominent business men.  The bearers were: Mr. Samuel Ellis, Mr. Thomas Walmsley, Mr. Nelson Ballie, Mr. Amos Baker, Mr. W.

ROBERT HORD - Passed from earth to his heavenly inheritance January 28th, 1885, and was buried on the 30th of the same month, in sure and certain hope of a joyful resurrection through our Lord Jesus Christ.  The subject of this obituary 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.”

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.

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.

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.

Death of Mrs. Hough

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. Hough.

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."

Another of the old residents passed away on Thursday last in the person of Mrs. Margaret 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.

A. J. Rikely.

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, predeceased her nearly three years ago.

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 Howard was a sister of Mrs. Wm. Tait, Picton

DIED – Howe – From 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.

Was Instantly Killed - A Hunter Drew His Gun and it Discharged

Napanee, Dec. 8 - William D.D. Howell, a farmer, thirty-five years of age, who lived in North Fredericksburgh, while duck hunting on Hay Bay yesterday, accidentally shot and killed himself instantly. Mr. Howell was drawing his gun towards himself by the muzzle, in order to fire at a flock of ducks, when the trigger caught some part of the boat, and discharged the weapon, the contents entering Mr. Howell's heart. He leaves a wife and three small children.

 

W.D. Howell Instantly Killed

Napanee Dec. 10 - A thrill of sorrow was caused by the news on Saturday morning of the tragic death, by a gun accident, of William D. Howell, Hay Bay. The unfortunate man was well and favorably known in the town and throughout the neighborhood, where he has lived for many years. the accident, occurring on Hay Bay, where Mr. Howell and his brother-in-law were duck hunting, was caused by Mr. Howell reaching for the gun and drawing it toward him, while his eyes were fixed on a flock of ducks. The trigger of the gun caught on the seat of the boat and was drawn just far enough back to cause the gun to go off, the full charge entering just above the heart, completely severing the main artery and causing instant death. The unfortunate man never spoke, but fell over on his brother-in-law's lap and expired instantly. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved widow and family in their sad bereavement.

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.

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.

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.

They then removed to the Johnson neighborhood, Ernesttown, where they resided until 1856, when they came to Napanee. She was the mother of four children - Stephen, who died in infancy; Sarah E. (Mrs. F. Lane); Thomas A., and Frank, who died at the age of 21 years. In the year 1856, at the stone school house, near the White church, Morven, during revival services, held by the late Rev. J. G. Bull, she was converted, and since that time has lived a Christian life, and loyal to her church and family. About four years ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis, which greatly affected her. Her mind and limbs became weak and gradually she became more feeble. A few days before her death she suffered a second stroke and sank rapidly. She had no pain during her long sickness. Her brother, Mr. Freeman Garratt, of Wellington, and sisters, Mrs. Richard Noxon, of the same place, and Mrs. George Raynor, of Rose Hall were present at the funeral, which took place on Tuesday afternoon.

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

 

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.

He leaves to mourn his loss two sons and three daughters, Ezra, on the old homestead; James of Prince Edward County; Mrs. B.

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.

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 B. Huffman, South Marysburgh; Mrs. Rev. W.H. Rowson, Burlington, and Mrs. George N. Fraser, Napanee, who mourn her loss, the aged and honored husband the loss of a beloved companion of more than fifty years, 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 respect in which she was held.

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.

An Old Resident Gone - The death of Mrs. Willard Huffman, a former Napanee lady, took place at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Edward Kaylor, Morven, last Saturday evening from the effects of a cancer. Deceased was a daughter of the late John Switzer, of Switzerville, and was aged 68 years.

Deceased was a true christian woman, and during her stay in town was an attendant of the Eastern Methodist Church. For the last three years of her life she had been troubled with a cancer, for the removal of which she had undergone two operations, but the epithelial growth still continued until it had reached such a stage that she knew death was nigh, and was fully prepared for her departure. She leaves four daughters and three sons. The daughters are Mrs. Samuel Bell, of Dakota; Mrs. Sheldon Joyce, North Fredericksburgh; Mrs. E. Kaylor, Morven; and Miss Victoria Huffman.

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.

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.

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.

The funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon, at Reidville United Church, when Rev. M.

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.

When about a mile and a half from home his horse stumbled and threw its rider. One foot was held fast in the stirrup, while the frightened animal, otherwise a very quiet horse, kicked 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 never spoke. He leaves a wife and one child.

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 Smith, Napanee; Mr. Barker, Ralph Sexsmith, Ross Sexsmith, Ward Sexsmith, Napanee and Rev. Earl Sexsmith, Cardinal, Ont.

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.

Mrs. Wilson Hyland

Gloom was cast over the entire community, June 26th, when it became known that Mrs. Wilson Hyland had passed peacefully away.  Mrs. Hyland had been ailing for some time but was always bright and alert.  She could converse with her friends and neighbors, for her sight and hearing were not impaired. 

Mrs. Hyland was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Reid of Camden.  She was born November 5th, 1843.  On December 4th, 1863, she married Wilson, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hyland, who predeceased her five years ago.  Mrs. Hyland despite her eighty-six years was active until the end.  Her funeral was held Friday afternoon, June 28th at Reidville Church, where she was an active member all her life.  The pallbearers were Messrs. Adam Fingland, Jno. W. Reid, Nath. Reid, Geo. MacLaren, Fred. Reid, and Geo. Wagar.

There is left to mourn, her sister Mrs. Sheild of Almonte;  six children, Mrs. Geo. Kennedy, Chatham;  Mrs. Geo. Milligan, Tamworth;  Thomas of Camden East, William of Belleville, George and Almore at home.  Two children died in infancy.  There are thirteen grand-children and five great grand-children.  The many beautiful floral offerings from family and grandchildren, friends and neighbors show the esteem in which she was held.
