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

HAIGHT – At Toronto on Tuesday, 25th
June, at the residence of his son, Mr. Canniff Haight, a native of
Adolphustown, aged 76 years. OBITUARY – MR. CANNIFF HAIGHT – A
native of Adolphustown, and for many years a prominent citizen of Picton, and

residence of his son, Mr. W. R. Haight, Toronto, aged 76 years. He married Miss Jane Ingersoll, daughter of
the late Isaac Ingersoll, of the front of Fredericksburgh, who survives him
with four sons. He was a man of more
than ordinary intelligence and of extensive reading and travel. He was the author of two quite popular books.
His “Canadian Life of Fifty Years ago”, gives some very interesting sketches
of habits and customs, especially of the people of this county during the
first half of this century. He was of
U.E. L. stock and was much interested in the early history and traditions of
the pioneers of this province. One of
his last duties performed was to spend some weeks, a year ago, among the
archives at Washington, copying and arranging a number of valuable
manuscripts of the correspondence and claims of the first Loyalists, which
will soon be published by the Historical Society. Canniff Haight, who died June 25th
1901, was the son of Shadrick Ricketson Haight, (son of Daniel Haight,
U.E.L., who settled in Adolphustown) and his wife Mary, daughter of James
Canniff U.E.L. He was born 4th June, 1825. Resided in Picton, County of Prince
Edward, and subsequently in Toronto; was a journalist, and author
("Country Life in Canada Fifty Years Ago;" "A genealogy of the
Haight family," etc.; transcribed with 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Ham, John D. |
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.

Representative in Ontario House Charles W. Hambly, for many years
prominent in the business and political life of Napanee and the surrounding
county, and a former member of the Ontario Legislature, representing Lennox
County, died at the Kingston General Hospital on Thursday, November 12th, in
his 82nd year. The late Mr. Hambly had been in failing health for the past
two years and about six weeks ago he was removed to the Hospital for
treatment, when his condition became serious. Mr. Hambly was born in North
Fredericksburgh and was a son of the late William and Catherine Hambly. His
father came from England as a young man and his mother was a native of the
county. All his life was spent on the farm in North Fredericksburgh until 1913,
when he moved to Napanee where he had since resided. Before coming to Napanee, Mr. Hambly
was a member of North Fredericksburgh Township Council for many years and was
reeve of the township and warden of the County of Lennox and Addington in

the congregation of St. Mary Magdalene's Anglican Church. After leaving the farm and coming to

Hambly, 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.

Hannah, Elizabeth |
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. B. Topping. |

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.

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. |

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

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

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

citizens of Ernestown Township. Deceased was a son of the late John Machar
Hawley and Mary Minerva Pearson, and a great-great-grandson of Capt. Jeptha
Hawley, one of the early U.E. Loyalist settlers in Ernestown. Mr. Hawley received his early
education at the Bath Continuation School and on moving to Watertown NY, with
his parents, completed his education there, where he specialized in music and
art. When living in Napanee he practised
photography for a number of years, and was the first photographer to take
family groups in the homes. In his earlier years he was an enthusiastic
hunter and sportsman, and looked forward to the yearly hunting season in the
north country. IN 1925 he was married to Jean
McGreer, who, with one daughter, Mary, survives him. Miss Ethel Hawley, of
Napanee and Miss Edith Hawley, of Spokane, Wash., are first cousins of the
deceased. Mr. Hawley's latter days were spent in the Hawley district. In August

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

Death from 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

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.

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.

administration. For 29 years, Mr. Hawley retained the position of sheriff,

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

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

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

Church. He was the father of six sons and three daughters, the most of whom
are still living. He did duty during the war of 1812-13, and during that time
he was promoted to the office of captain, and was one of the old pensioners
for many years. His wife departed this life just ten months previous to his

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. |

Hawley, Lizzie |
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. |

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

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.

weakened until New Years eve, when she passed peacefully away. Though her sickness was short yet she was
ready and willing to go, said she had no preparations to make and urged her
nurses and those around her to meet her in Heaven. Mrs. Heazlitt was a bright, beautiful,
consistent, happy Christian, continually letting her light shine for the
glory of her Master. As a Sabbath

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. |

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

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

Grant Keith |
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. Jack Johnson of Buffalo, N.Y., and Will Johnson of Lockport,
N.Y. and Miss Dorothy Johnson of Belleville, brothers and sisters of Mrs.
Hepburn were at the funeral. Interment

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. |

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

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

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

announce this week the death of another of the pioneers of this country, Mr.
Thomas Hinch, who, after a lingering and painful illness, passed peacefully
away on Friday morning last, 20th Jan, 1899. Deceased was born in County
Kilkenny, Ireland, March 31st, 1822 and in 1824 came with his parents to this
country, and with them lived near Newburgh for a time, and afterwards settled
in the fifth concession of Camden, where his parents, George and Catherine
Hinch died, the former on June 13th, 1833, the latter Dec. 25th, 1848. 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. The others are William A., of Deloraine, Man.;
Ogden, of Carman, Man.; Simpson P., of this town; Mrs. (Dr.) D.G. Storms, of
Hamilton; Mrs. J. Bailey Hamm, of North Fredericksburgh, and George H., of
Hamilton, all of whom survive him. In 1871 he sold his farm in Camden and
purchased the old Rombough homestead in North Fredericksburgh, where he
resided until June of 1884, when, desiring to retire from active life he
removed to Napanee, where Mrs. Hinch died on the 19th Dec. of the same year.
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. The funeral on Sunday last was largely attended. Rev. Dr.
Crothers conducting the services at the house, after which the remains were

preached from the text, "The spirit shall return to God, who gave
it." The hymns were "Now the Labourers' Task is O'er",
"On the Resurrection Morning", and "Where the Light Forever

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.” |

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

weeks. The neighbors also regret her
departure to the better world as her pleasant manner won her many

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

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

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. |

Hough, Annie Jane (nee Mellow) |
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." |

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

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. |

Late W. B. Hough – Word was received in
town on Saturday announcing the death of a well-known and highly esteemed
resident of the Sillsville district in the person of W. B. Hough at the age
of 76 years and the funeral service, which was held from his late residence
to the Sillsville United Church on Sunday afternoon was very largely
attended. The illness of Mr. Hough had been of
a brief duration, about two weeks, and in his passing the Sillsville district
has lost a life-long resident, one who had been a farmer all his life and who
had always taken a keen interest in the better things of life. The members of the Hough family were
native of Sillsville and the only remaining brother is Mr. Martin L.
Hough. The deceased had been a member
of the official board and by his pleasant manner won a wide circle of friends. He was well-known in Napanee where in the
years that are gone he was a frequent visitor and where he did his
shopping. A few years ago he suffered
a sore bereavement in the passing of his life partner. A brother passed away several months ago,
and there was only a short time between the death of his brother and the
latter’s wife. The service was
conducted by the Rev. A. J. Rikely. William B. Hough - The death occurred
on Friday, March 23rd, of William B. Hough, at his home in Sillsville. Mr. Hough had been ill only a short
time and his death was a shock to his many friends. Deceased was a life-long resident of
the Sillsville community and his friendliness and encouragement in all
community activities, will be sorely missed. In the church which he loved, his
name especially will live through wise provisions for yearly contributions to
the ministers of Sillsville Church, the Ladies Aid and the Missionary and

Hough, Mrs. Wm. B. |
Mrs. William B. Hough The death occurred very unexpectedly of
Mrs. Wm. B. Hough, at the home of her brother, Mr. Felix Mellow, in Kingston,
on Saturday, October 29th, 1927. Deceased had been in ill health for a number
of years, but her death came as a great shock to the community. Her husband
had taken her to Kingston to consult a specialist, and she had arranged to
remain with her brother of the week end. While in conversation with him she
passed quietly away. Mrs. William Hough was the daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. S.H. Mellow, and was a life-long resident of
Sillsville. She was a faithful church worker, having been organist in both
church and Sunday School; a charter member and past President of the W.M.S.;
a member of the Ladies' Aid since its organization, and a strong advocate of
temperance. Surviving are her husband, one
sister, Mrs. D.H. Hough, of Sillsville; and four brothers, Felix, of
Kingston; Thomas, of Sandhurst; Arthur, of Sillsville; Dr. Frank, of
Uxbridge. One brother, Dr. S.J. Mellow, of Port Perry, predeceased her two
years ago. Her Pastor, Rev. Mr. Plant, conducted
the funeral services at the house and church, and preached a comforting
sermon from the text "In my Father's house are many mansions. I go to
prepare a place for you." Miss Mitchell sang by request, "Safe in
the Arms of Jesus". The floral tributes were beautiful. The pall-bearers
were the four brothers and two nephews, Merton Mellow, of Bath, and Harold
Hough, Sillsville,. Interment was made in Sillsville cemetery. [Sillsville] - A gloom was cast over
our community when it became known that Mrs. Wm. B. Hough had passed away.
Mrs. Hough had been in poor health for several years, and at times was a
great sufferer, but for the past few weeks she appeared to be improving, and
was able to get out a few times. On Saturday afternoon she, with her husband,
motored to Kingston on a visit to her twin brother, Mr. Felix Mellow. She had
enjoyed the beautiful drive and was chatting merrily with her relatives when
she suddenly passed away. She leaves to mourn, besides her sorrowing husband,
her only sister, Mrs. Duncan Hough, and four brothers, Thomas, of Sandhurst;
Felix, of Kingston; Arthur, of Sillsville, and Dr. Frank E. Mellow, Uxbridge,
Ont. An older brother, Dr. S.J. Mellow, predeceased her nearly three years
ago. The remains were brought to her home in Sillsville, and the funeral was
held in Sillsville United Church, her Pastor, Rev. Mr. Plant, speaking very
kindly of her beautiful Christian character. For many years she was organist
of Sillsville church, only giving it up when her health failed. She was also
an active Epworth League member, a member of both the W.M.S. and Ladies' Aid. Dr. Frank and Mrs. Mellow, of
Uxbridge; Mrs. S.J. Mellow and daughter, Mrs. M. Letcher, of Port Perry,
attended the funeral of Mrs. W.B. Hough. Among others from a distance were
Mr. and Mrs. W. Mellow, Deseronto; Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Mellow, Enterprise; Mr.
and Mrs. J.P. Mellow and daughter, Mrs. Laura Parks and Mildred; Mr. and Mrs.

of Mrs. James C. Howard, due to shock as the result of an accident while
motoring across the bay. Mrs. Howard was born of U.E. Loyalist
stock in Fredericksburgh in 1843, but had been a member of this community for
seventy years. Before her marriage, her name was Julia Isabel Clute. In 1863
she married James Connor Howard, also of U.E. Loyalist descent, who
predeceased her in 1904. Despite her advanced age, Mrs. Howard’s mental
faculties were wonderfully alert and unimpaired and she was actively engaged
in her every-day duties up to the time of her death. Of thirteen children born, four sons
and four daughters remain to mourn the loss of a loving mother; George T.,
Amherst Island; Arthur E., Grimsby; Harold H., New Liskeard; Clarence Vere,

sister and Mrs. C. Mackay, Mrs. J.T. Sutherland and Mr. A.H. Metcalfe of
Kingston are nieces and nephew of deceased. There are also fourteen
grandchildren and nine great-grand-children. The largely-attended funeral was held
on Monday, January 24th from the residence of her son, George T.,
to St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Owing to the proximity of the church, the
minister, the Rev. J. Vint Laughland, and officers very kindly offered its
use for the funeral service. The service was held under the auspices of the
Rev. Thomas Leech, M.A., rector of St. Alban’s Anglican Church, assisted by

Howard, Mabel |
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,

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. |

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. |

Huff, Mrs. H.W. (nee Wales) |
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. Meng, Napanee, Mrs. Robert Mills, Lime Lake,
and Mrs. Colwell, Sydenham.

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

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

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

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

the farm, which has been in the hands of the family since the country's first
settlement. His father, the late John Huffman, and the deceased were both

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

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

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.

Friday and Saturday in usual good health, and retired as usual that evening

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

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

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

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

Hughs, John Ham |
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

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. |

Fatal Accident - On Thursday night a
sad and fatal accident occurred in North Fredericksburgh. Mr. Paul Huyck,
jr., was returning home from Mill Point about five o'clock on horseback. 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.

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

D. W. Huyche - Donald Wilfred Huycke
died suddenly in Toronto last Thursday, apparently in good health, until he
suffered a heart attack while at work as a salesman with General Motors. He was rushed to hospital, but a second
attack led to his death. Born in Adolphustown almost 50 years
ago, he was the son of the late Blake Huycke and of Mrs. Huycke, Bridge
street. He moved to Napanee with his
parents when a young boy and attended the Napanee schools until entering the

He was employed in Fredericton, N.B., when he went overseas during the
Second World War. To mourn his loss he leaves his wife,
the former Kay Kelly of Toronto; two
daughters: Mrs. John Sollaway, (Marilyn), Toronto, and Mrs. John Duffy,
(Ann), Calgary; a grandson and

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