Ingersoll - At
Regina, N.W.T., on 30th July, Marshall Bidwell Ingersoll, formerly of Conway,
Fredericksburgh, and brother-in-law of Miss Harding, Napanee, aged 66 years. Obituary -
Marshall Bidwell Ingersoll - a native, and for many years a well known
resident of the Township of South Fredericksburgh, died at his residence in
Regina, N.W.T., last week of paralysis, aged about 65 years. Having spent all
his early days on the farm where he was born and raised, near Conway, he went
to the North West over twenty years ago and became one of the pioneer
settlers at Regina, where he spent the remainder of his days. The body passed
through here on Thursday last, to be buried in the Adolphustown churchyard,
beside the grave of his wife, who was a daughter of the late Rev. M. Harding,
so many years Rector of Adolphustown and Fredericksburgh. She predeceased him
a good many years. The Ingersoll family was among the oldest of the U.E.
Loyalists in this county and a large number of its members were well known
residents of Fredericksburgh at one time, but not one of the name is now left
in the country, we believe. Death of M.B.
Ingersoll Regina lost one
of its longest residents in the death of M.B. Ingersoll, familiarly known as
Col. Ingersoll, which sad event took place on last Saturday morning. Mr. Ingersoll
had been very ill for several weeks. Hemorrhage of the brain was the direct
cause of death. Deceased was a brother of Dr. Ingersoll of Regina. He was
aged 66 years. The funeral sermon was preached on Sunday afternoon at St.
Paul's church, by the rector, Rev. W.E. Brown, who dwelt upon some of the
admirable characteristics of the deceased gentleman, the great kindness of
heart only partly hidden beneath a gruff exterior, and his interest in and
love for children, all of whom were his friends. Deceased was a Mason, and
the fraternity took charge of the funeral arrangements. The remains were sent
to Adolphustown, Ont., to be interred beside the grave of the wife who years
ago preceded him to the great beyond. Mr. R. B. Fergusson, whom the Colonel
had named in his will as executor, accompanied the body east. The late Mr.
Ingersoll was a man of marked individuality. He was tall, very corpulent, and
possessed a beard of unusually great length. He came to Regina in the early
eighties. For a number of years past he kept a confectionery and grocery
store, and dealt quite extensively in fruits. He preferred to live alone, but
was withal of very sociable disposition, and a good conversationalist. He had
a host of acquaintances and not an enemy. |

JACKSON – NAPANEE – Dec 15 – The sudden death of Mrs. Robert Jackson, 79, of
Morven, at the home of her son, John, at Bath Saturday came as a shock to
friends and relatives as she was believed to be in good health. The funeral was held at the St. Thomas
church in Morven yesterday afternoon to Morven Cemetery with Rev. S. Walker
and Ven. Archdeacon R. J. Dumbrille officiating at the service. Until four years
ago, the deceased had lived on a farm in Morven for over 40 years, and since
that time had been living with her daughter, Mrs. Claude Knight of
Napanee. Formerly Emma Louise Irvine,
she leaves one son, John, at Bath, and three daughters, Mrs. C. H. Knight,
Mrs. R. VanAlstyne of St. Catharines, and Mrs. William Tompkins of Chinook,
Alta. Her husband died four years ago
in Morven, and the deceased has been an active member of St. Thomas Church
during her lifetime. Messrs. Harry
Spence, Lawrence Chadwick, Delbert Snider, Harold Brandon, Matt Sheltor and
Luke Young acted as pall-bearers. THE LATE MRS.
ROBERT JACKSON – The sudden death of Mrs. Robert Jackson occurred last
Saturday at the home of her son, John Jackson, Bath, where she had gone a few
days before to spend a short time.
Mrs. Jackson, since the death of her husband, about five years ago,
had made her home in Napanee with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Claude H. Knight. When she left town
last Thursday, to spend the week-end at the home of her son, she was
apparently in her usual state of good health., On Saturday morning, when she
failed to rise at her usual time and when members of the family went to her
room they found she had passed away.
Later in the day her body was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Knight in Napanee and on Monday afternoon a short service was conducted at
the house by Rev. L. G. Osborne-Walker of Bath and Archdeacon Dumbrille of
Napanee, after which a public service was held at St. Thomas Church at
Morven, followed by burial at Morven Cemetery. Mrs. Jackson,
who before her marriage was Emma Louise Irwin, was born in England about 79
years ago. She was the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. John Irwin, who came to Canada when Mrs. Jackson was about
seven years of age and settled at Milton, Ontario. Mr. and Mrs.
Jackson were married at Milton and came to Morven about 45 years ago, where
they farmed until Mr. Jackson’s death.
Mrs. Jackson was an active member of St. Thomas Anglican Church at
Morven and was especially interested in the work of the Women’s auxiliary. Mrs. Jackson
leaves three daughters Mrs. C. H. Knight, Napanee, Mrs. Reta Vanalstine, St.
Catharines, and Mrs. W. J. Tompkins, Alberta, and one son, John, at Bath. The pall-bearers
at the funeral were Messrs Harry Spence, Lawrence Chadwick, Debert Snider,
Harold Brandon, Matthew Shetlor and Luke Young. |

I. S. Jackson In the early
morn of the 4th day of April, 1929, in her eightieth year, there
passed to her reward M. J. Booth, loved wife of I. S. Jackson, and daughter
of the late Wm. Booth, who emigrated from Ireland in the early forties of the
last century, and settled near the Village of Roblin, in early days known as
Spencer’s Mills, where the subject of this sketch was born. Early converted to God in a revival held
under the administration of the late J. T. Clark, of the old M. E.
church. She lived her whole life in
the Township of Richmond, a truly exemplary Christian life, one truly devoted
to her Saviour. While not caring for
too great an activity in too many church organizations her religion was a
profound and lasting one, of all the essentials of a Christ-like life. Her home and duty thereof were her
palace. She was always ready to help
those in need and it was her delight to live a quiet unpretentious exemplary
Christian life, fully resigned when the end came. She leaves to mourn, her husband and two
daughters, Mrs. T. J. Russell and Mrs. Wilbert Winter, both of Empey Hill,
and two sons, Gardiner Wilson, near Selby, and Wm. Edwin on the
homestead. May she rest in peace. |

ELIZABETH
JACQUES - Elizabeth, relict of the late Thomas Jacques, and whose maiden name
was Graham, was born in Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1828; was united in marriage to her late husband
in 1853, came to Canada in 1854, and settled in the township of Arran, where
they lived till death terminated their mortal career. They were brought up to the English Church,
but some twenty-seven years ago experienced renewing grace in a protracted
meeting held at Mount Hope, on this (Arkwright) circuit. They at once united with the Methodist
Church, of which they remained devoted members until death. Sister Jacques was remarked for her affable
manner, her kindly disposition, her mental activity, her tender affection as
a wife mother, and friend, and her self-forgetfulness to oblige others. To the writer she, in her last illness,
spoke of how great was her attachment to the public worship of God, and
especially the class meeting. In the
first of her illness - which was congestion of the lungs, and was very brief
- she said “her acceptance with God was not so clear as she would like - that
there were shadows between her and the Saviour. “ But, thank God, for several hours before
her death, which occurred Jan. 5th, 1885, the true light shone
upon her soul, the shadows fled, and she quietly fell asleep in Jesus. May the surviving and sorrowing family so
live that they may have a happy meeting on the other side the river. [signed]

The Late Mr.
Alex. Jayne Mr. Alex. Jane,
elder son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James A. Jayne, passed away on Saturday
evening, January 30, 1937 in Kingston General Hospital. Although ill with pneumonia for six weeks,
his physicians still held out hopes for his recovery, so his sudden death
came as a shock to his relatives and friends. Alex. was of a
cheerful disposition. His smiling
countenance and humorous expressions won for him a good many friends in
Adolphustown, where he formerly resided and in the Napanee district. Besides the
bereaved wife, he leaves to mourn his loss, one brother, Mr. John Jayne,
Camden East and five sisters, Mrs. C. Kellar, Deseronto Rd., Mrs. W. E.

of Sharp’s Corners. The funeral
service, which was held at his residence, a short distance north of Napanee,
was well attended by neighbours and friends.
His pastor, Rev. W. E. L. Smith, who had visited him during his
illness consoled the bereaved friends with his comforting message, while Mr.
Ward Wartman sang by request “Some Day We’ll Understand.” Then the funeral cortege proceeded on its
way to Riverview Cemetery, where interment was made in the family plot. The pall-bearers were Messrs Bidwell,

Obituary - Mrs.
Jas. A. Jayne - On Wednesday morning, August 24th, 1927, Mrs. Jas. a. Jayne
passed peacefully away at her home, Sharp's Corners, in her eighty-fourth
year. Mrs. Jayne was a
daughter of the late Mr. Alexander Thompson, and spent her girlhood days a
short distance north of Napanee. Later in life after her marriage to Mr. Jas.
a. Jayne, she and her husband resided in Richmond, North Fredericksburgh, and
twenty-three years in Adolphustown. Then in need of care during her declining
years, they moved to Sharp's Corners, where they resided with their two
daughters. The deceased was
widely known and had a great many friends. The friendships formed years ago
remained with her throughout a life time. She was very thoughtful towards the
poor. Years ago, when there were a great many people in needy help throughout
the county, she always met them with a kind word, and, with the co-operation
of her husband, did all she could to comfort and provide them with the
necessities of life. She will be greatly missed in the home. Her memory shall
ever be cherished by her loved ones, as a patient wife and a kind mother. During her
illness of several years duration, she was given the best medical attention
and care. For several years there seemed to be little change in her frail
constitution, but last Spring it became evident to the family that her
condition was becoming more serious, and she could not be with them much
longer. The late Mrs.
Jayne had been a member of the Methodist (United) Church for years, but being of a quiet and reserved disposition,
she will be remembered as a Christian lady, not as much by her profession, as
from her daily walk through life. During the last weeks of her illness she
was drawn closer to her Saviour. Her husband and family will never forget her
last words to them, "I'm going Home", as she roused in her dying
hour. Very soon she left all sickness and care behind, and went
"Home" to join the loved ones who have passed on before. "Home!
Home!, Safe, safe at Home! There's no friend like Jesus - He leads ius gently
Home." Besides an aged
and sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, five daughters and two
sons, Mrs. C. Kellar, Deseronto Road;
Mr. Alex. Jayne, Richmond; Mrs. W.B. Nolan, Hay Bay; Mr. John Jayne,
Camden East; Mrs. Wm. McConnell and Misses Electa and Etta Jayne, Sharp's
Corners. The impressive
funeral service held at the (Methodist) United church, Selby, conducted by
her Pastor, Rev. J. Batstone, assisted by Rev. T.H.P. Anderson, was attended
by several friends from a distance. The pallbearers were relatives of the
deceased and her body was laid to rest in Riverview cemetery, beneath the
beautiful flowers that covered her grave, to await the coming of her Saviour
on the Resurrection Morn. |

JANE AUSTIN
JEFFREY - In Winnipeg,
August 26th, while visiting her daughter, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. M.
Jeffrey, of Plympton, Man., died after a few days’ illness. She was born in
County Down, Ireland, September 23rd, 1826 her maiden name being
Austin. February 21st, 1847, she married Mr. M. Jeffrey, with whom
she emigrated the same year to the township of Fitzroy, County Carleton,
Ont., where were born to them three sons and four daughters, and where they
buried one son and two daughters.
After a residence there of twenty eight years they removed to the
township of Plympton, Man., where Mrs. J. enjoyed the distinction of being
the first lady settler. Here they
prospered, and had all the comforts of an Ontario home. We rejoice to be able to record more than
mere earthly prosperity. Though the
subject of this notice, with her husband, had been brought up as
Presbyterians, they had not experienced the new birth until 1862 in a revival
conducted by Revs. Case, Hayhurst and Gable, they were both converted to God,
and joined the Methodist Church, of which they have since been honored
members. Mrs. J. was intensely
religious; placing her Christian duties in the forefront, she sought to
“crown Christ Lord of all,” the realm of her affection and ambition, and
became, what seems to be unusual here, a breakwater against the all-whelming
tide of worldliness. The family altar
through all these years has been the sheet-anchor of their home religion in
every storm. When her husband was
absent, though diffident and retiring, yet in loyalty to her Master the
family Bible was taken down, and the family and others, if present, were
regularly and devoutly led in their devotions. When through “often infirmities” in later
years she could rarely be induced to leave her home for other purposes, yet more
rarely could she be induced to stay at home from the means of grace. In the class meeting which she loved, her
rich, ripe testimony to the goodness of God and the sufficiency of his grace
betokened frequent and close communion with God. The enterprise
and liberality of this family, and their love to Methodism, largely led to
the formation of Plympton Methodist Mission. Theirs was the
home of our first missionaries. The
body of the deceased was removed to her late residence, Aug. 27th,
and on the 28th, a large concourse of friends from the city and
surrounding townships assembled to sadly commit her body to its resting place
in Sunnyside cemetery. A sorrowing
husband, two daughters and a son survive and deeply mourn their loss, but
brightly anticipate a blissful reunion in the better country. A sermon full of
consolation and Christian hope and triumph was preached from the favorite
Psalm xxiii of the deceased by her pastor, S. O. IRVINE |

Dies of Wounds – Word has been received of the death of Laurie Jellet, an

Battalion. The notice was to the
effect that he died of wounds on Jan. 28th. He was the eldest son of St. George Jellet
of Edmonton and was among the first to join the colors at the outbreak of
war. Few Edmonton boys were better
known in that city than he, and the enlistment of many of his friends was due
to his example. Ewan Jellett, a

was quite unexpected by his friends at Dorland. Being in the prime of life,
it was thought he would be able to overcome the disease – typhoid fever. But
Providence willed it otherwise and he gave up his soul to Him who gave it on
the 22d ult., aged about 26 years. He
had the best of medical skill and day and night was given every attention
during his illness, by an affectionate mother and a faithful loving sister.
His brother and wife, in whose home he was ill and died, devoted their
energies to his care. AS he was the principal support of his widowed mother
and sister, the loss will be severe. Deceased will long be remembered as a young
man of sterling qualities, kind and obliging to neighbors and friends,
dutiful to parents, affectionate to his sisters. Generally, he regularly
attended church and Sunday School. One of his requests before his demise was
that Rev. Mr. Boyce, who was on the Dorland circuit some few years ago, would
perform the funeral obsequies if he did not recover. Blasphemy and slang, too
common, he always decried and never uttered. He is survived by his sorrowing
mother, two sisters, Mrs. Geo. Vandewater, Bellview, Ohio, U.S., and Hattie
at home. Also a brother, W.J. Jewell, Napanee. After the funeral service on
the 24th ult., the remains were temporarily placed in Riverview
cemetery vault and on the 29th were finally laid in the family
plot in the Methodist U.E.L. Cemetery, Adolphustown. The bereaved family have
the sympathy of all the neighborhood. |

McGillivray of Picton, Mr. Jewell and his wife lived in Ohio for a short time
before they returned to Napanee, where they have since continued to reside. Mr. Jewell was
well known for the excellence of his workmanship. Many homes and buildings in
the town contain examples of his work. Some years ago, Mr. Jewell was a
member of the Town council and to honor his memory, the flag on the town hall
was flown at half mast, following his death. For many years

In Hallowell, on
Tuesday the 17th inst.,
Flora Hellen, wife of Joseph Johnson and daughter of the Rev. George Sills of
Fredericksburgh, aged 22 years, the 2nd of September next. Died - In
Hallowell, on Tuesday, the 17th instant, Flora Helen, wife of Mr. Joseph
Johnson, and daughter of
the Rev. George Sills of Fredericksburgh, aged 22 years the 2nd of September
next. The subject of this memoir was
awakened to her lost estate, at the first Camp Meeting held in Adolphustown; and in a prayer meeting a few days after,
while pleading with God in prayer of the blessing of pardon, God in mercy,
spoke peace to her soul. She
immediately connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has
since that period given satisfactory evidence of the genuineness of her
character. She has found through all
the vicissitudes of this life, the Religion of Jesus Christ to be her support
and comfort - and that God who had supported her in the hour of trial,
difficulty and affliction, did not forsake her in the hour of death. When reduced by affliction and approaching
the verge of Eternity, the triumphs of Christianity shone in all their
splendor. She experienced and enjoyed
the faith and patience of the saints. - could talk of death and Eternity with
the confidence of an apostle, when he said, "I have a desire to depart,
I have fought the good fight." A
few hours previous to her departure, she called to her bed side, a neighbor
for whom she felt much esteem, and after exhorting him to seek the Lord, she
asked him, "now neighbor S---- will you set out and serve the
Lord?" Upon his answering in the
affirmative, she said, "One thing more," "will you pray in your
family?" Upon his hesitating to
comply with her request, she earnestly repeated the solicitation, and
appeared unwilling to leave him without a positive answer. He at length replied that he would, upon
which, with a voice that astonished all present, she cried out, "Glory,
glory, glory." She then gave
directions respecting her funeral, and observing her friends weeping, she
said, "weep not for me, for I am going to glory." She requested them to lay her out plain and
decent, and not to shed a tear at her bed side, or at the grave; she then
requested all present to pray and praise God, "bid all my friends
farewell," said she, "and tell my youngest brother to set
out and prepare to meet me in glory."
A few moments before she expired, she said, "lay me straight, I
am going to Glory," and then without a sigh, struggle, or groan, fell
asleep in her blessed Redeemer. A funeral
discourse on this solemn and interesting occasion, was preached by the Rev.
T. Bevitt, from Revelation 14th chap. 13th verse, "And I heard a voice
from Heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord, from Henceforth, Yea, saith the spirit that they may rest from their
labours and their works shall follow them" a text which she selected for
that purpose. The writer of
this memoir, is well aware of his inability to do justice to the deceased, or
her surviving friends, Not being present at her death, and having collected a
few only of her dying expressions, he is obliged to leave out many, which was
truly interesting and encouraging, and highly characteristic of the
blessedness of her state. Here is
sufficient, however, for him to say, let the Sceptic doubt, and let the
Infidel mock, but let me "die the death of the righteous, and let my
last end be like his." P.V.E. Hallowell, July 20, 1832. |

JOHNSON – At
Adolphustown, on Sunday, Nov 5, Helen Catherine Johnson, aged 48 years and 11
months. A very sad event
occurred at the home of the late Thomas Trumpour, Adolphustown, Nov. 5th,
when his only daughter Helen, wife of J. Johnson, departed this life on her
journey to the better land. She had
been suffering for some time with cancer in the stomach, and finally, she
whom we had learned to love for her patient and pure life, was called to her
final rest on Sunday evening Nov. 5th at 9 o’clock. The deceased was one of our best known and
respected citizens. She enjoyed a
large circle of acquaintances and she was loved and held in the highest
esteem by all who knew her. The
removal of such a life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that is
deeply realized by her many friends in this community, but while we mourn the
loss we have sustained, we humbly submit to the will of our Father, who has
taken her away. Our loss is her gain,
for a beautiful life never ends in death.
Her life’s work is done, she has passed to her final rest and while
tender memories of her virtues linger, we trust that the star that is gone,
the light of whose going makes our night, makes somewhere else a day for her.
The funeral was held at the U.E.L. Episcopal church, where a very impressive
service was conducted by the Rev. Canon Roberts. A large procession of relatives and friends
escorted the remains to the church after which the remains were taken to
Napanee and placed in the vault. The
people of this place and vicinity extend to the bereaved family their deepest
sympathy in this their sad hour of affliction. While their home is made desolate by the
shadow of death, our community has been deprived of a most faithful friend
and an honest Christian worker. |

Johnston, Andrew |
Mr. Andrew
Johnston died this week in the Township of Sidney and the Belleville Ontario
publishes the following curious history of his life: - At the time the
Thirteen Colonies declared their independence of Great Britain a man named
Johnston was living in the upper part of Central New York. He declared in
favor of the Royal cause and did his king good and faithful service during
the whole of that long struggle as a scout and guide, between the British
forces in Canada and those farther south. At the close of the Revolution he
followed the Royal Standard to Montreal and ultimately settled at Bath, when
that now ancient village was a wilderness. Johnston had
five sons and two daughters, the eldest, Andrew, was ten years old at the
declaration of Independence and he died last Sunday at the house of his son,
Mr. William Johnston, on the Front of Sidney. This old man,
whose memory extended back beyond the birth of the great nation at the south
of us, retained his faculties to the last, remembering and loving to dwell
upon the scenes of his early life. He kept a tavern in Bath for over forty
years, in the days of good old Jamaica rum and “regulation spirits,” and yet,
strange to tell, never tasted strong drink in his life. His table was famous
for its good cheer among all wayfarers between Little York and Kingston and
yet he never tasted meat; he, however, confessed to a great weakness for
chicken. Mr. Johnson, in
the war of 1812 – then a man approaching fifty – carried despatches and mails
between Kingston and York on foot, coming up through Adolphustown, crossing a
ferry at the Stone Mills and so along Prince Edward shore to the Carrying
Place. He crossed the then unbridged streams by improvised rafts; slept where
night overtook him, in the rude cabin of the settler, or in the woods. He was
a famous pedestrian in those days and on one occasion left Kingston with a
companion who was well mounted and who for a day or two left him out of
sight, but he overhauled the jaded horse somewhere about where Whitby now
stands and beat him and his rider into York by five hours. Mr. Johnston was
a life-long member of the Church of England and for many years led the responses
in the old Bath Church, in the days of the Rev. M. Langhorn, the clergyman of
whom it is told that every morning of the year he took his plunge into the
bay; in the winter of course through a hole in the ice. While keeping
tavern in Bath, he became acquainted with
every body on the bay, as in those days they had to go to mill at
Kingston with their boats and his house standing near the water was a
favorite stopping place. Kingston, too, divided the honors of the law with
Adolphustown, and many a boat load of suitors and jurors have sat beside
Johnston’s cheerful fire and related the court news, or hazarded wise
opinions on the law. Mr. Johnston, then, did not come among strangers when he
moved about the time of the rebellion to Picton, where he lived till about 15
years ago, when his son, William took him home to his own house, where he
remained till his death. On the Thursday before his death he said to his
daughter-in-law, “Mammy, you and William have taken good care of me for many
years, but I shall not be here much longer.” It is very
gratifying to his friends to know that he died in the full serene hope of a
Christian. The Rev. M. Campbell preached his funeral sermon and he was buried
in the Meyer’s burying ground, on that beautiful mound overlooking the Bay of
Quinte, on whose waters he had looked almost every day for nearly a century. Mr. Johnston was
the brother and was ten years the senior of the celebrated “Bill” Johnston of
Thousand Island fame. His brothers’ course was a matter of keen regret to the
loyal old man, but he knew circumstances which went far in explanation if not
in extenuation of the fierce rage which the valiant outlaw entertained for
Canada. It is an interesting fact that “Bill Johnston was buried on the
Sunday just seven weeks before the death of his brother Andrew. He died at
Clayton, the same place which was the scene of most daring exploits and where
he has left a large and very respectable family, one of them being Collector
of Customs at that port. |

Benjamin Johnson was a life-long resident of Napanee. He was born in the town
about seventy-one years ago, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Johnston. He had followed the vocation of a carpenter and for thirty-five
years was caretaker of the Royal Bank,
as position he still held at the time of his death. Mr. Johnston was
twice married. His first wife died many years ago and his second wife,
formerly Amy Walker, passed away about eleven years ago. He is survived by
twelve children, six from the first marriage and six from the second. They
are Roy, Robert, George Mrs. Harrington, Mrs. E. Emmons, Mrs. C. Emmons, and
Frank, Gerald, Harold, Mrs. Normile, Mrs. Allen and Miss Edith. There are
also three sisters, Mrs. Wesley Young of Sillsville, the Misses Nellie and
Maggie of Lethbridge, Alta., and one brother, George of Fredericksburgh. The funeral was
held on Tuesday afternoon at St. Mary Magdalene Church, of which decreased

were Charles N. Loucks, James Daly, A.F. LaSalle, Robert Blake, J.M. Joyce
and F.P. Smith. |

DIED - At Ernest
town, on Thursday evening the 10th inst. WILLIAM JOHNSTON,
Esquire, late Colonel of the Addington Militia, aged 84 years, ten months,
and ten days. He was one of the first
settlers in this Country after the American Revolution; and has since resided in this place. His Loyalty to His King and attachment to
his country were strong traits in his character; having served his Majesty
faithfully for 60 years; and during
that period through three wars. He was
at the reduction of Canada in the years 59 and 60 and two succeeding
wars; he had many highly valuable
qualities - a kind friend a generous benefactor, and the poor was never known
to go empty away from his hospitable door;
he will be much lamented by all his friends and acquaintance; but
those more intimately acquainted with him will long, very long, regret the
loss of their inestimable friend. Ernest town,

WILLIAM H.
JOHNSTON - Was born in Peel township, county of Wellington, in the year 1852,
and died at his home on June 4th, 1885. He was converted when a youth of seventeen
or eighteen, from which event he lived a devoted and consistent life until
the Lord took him. About the latter
part of the winter of 1884, during a revival service held by Revs. Sherlock
and Kennedy, he sought and found the blessing of perfect love; he consecrated
his all fully to the Lord and entered into the rest of faith. From that point his Christian character was
marked by a steady and rapid development, as a result of his devotion to God
and zeal for his glory. He found a
helpmeet in his Christian life and work in one Miss E. Watson, to whom he was
united in marriage on July 9th, 1884, and who is now so shortly
called upon to mourn their separation.
But it is only for a time. She
is being comforted by divine grace and a hope of heaven. Brother Johnston was one of our most
promising men. Rising rapidly in the
esteem and confidence of his brethren, and being a man of rather more than
ordinary ability, he was appointed to several positions of usefulness and
responsibility, the last of which was a place on the local preachers’ plan by
the Official Board at its last meeting before he died. The Church anticipated many years of useful
service from him, but her great Head has ordered it otherwise. We bow in submission and say, “Thy will be
done.” [signed] T. R. Fydell |

Extract of a
letter, dated Ernest Town, Wednesday morning, 2 o’clock, Feb. 17th,
1819 Mr. James W.
Jones expected to have been in town on Saturday, but repeated disappointments
prevented him. Last night he went up
to the widow Williams’s (about 3 miles above the village) intending to remain
there until the morning, then to take a horse from thence and go down to
Kingston. About 12 o’clock, I was
waked by shrieks of some one passing
my window, calling to me something (I know not what) about fire. As I opened my eyes, I perceived the room
brightly lighted, and, at first, thought it must be our own house enveloped
in flame. I sprang from bed, and saw,
from the window, Mr. Jones’s house covered with sheets of fire. The same moment, his daughter, Julia (about
12 years of age) opened the kitchen door, and told us her mother was in the
house. We ran over. The front part of the house shewed no
fire. Mr. Wilcox caught a board, burst
open the door, and stepped to enter, when the upper floor came down with a
dreadful crash, and a volume of smoke and flame, bursting out, drove him
back. The building was now enclosed in
an awful conflagration, and we were forced to stand by, and gaze on the
scene, silent, awe-struck and inactive.
Julia says, they went to bed about 9 o’clock. She and a little sister, a year or two old,
slept with her mother, in the bed room at the end of the front room. Her mother put two or three green sticks
and some kindling wood into the stove.
She was waked by her mother, standing by the bed side, screaming to
her; pointing to the kitchen filled with flame, and exclaiming, “see the
fire!” She opened the kitchen door, to
try if she could get to her little daughters in the other bed room; and, at
the same time, told Julia to spring out of the window, which she did. She saw her mother shut the kitchen door,
and thinks she threw something over the window, as if to keep the air from
drawing through. But perhaps it was
smoke. At all events, she turned to
take the child from the bed. Julia ran
round to the window of the room, where her other two sisters slept, but the
flame prevented her from entering or looking in; and when she returned to the
front window, she could see nothing of her mother. We can now
distinguish Mrs. Jones’s remains lying near where the bed stood; but have not yet attempted to remove
them. The scene is dreadful. I never witnessed any event, which cast so
heavy a gloom over my feelings. |

Mrs. J. Joyce
Dies Sunday at Napanee The death took
place on Sunday morning of one of the oldest and most highly respected
residents of the Napanee district in the person of Mrs. John Joyce at the
advanced age of 92 years. Her death took place at her late home, a short
distance east of the Gretna United Church. About three
years ago, Mrs. Joyce had the misfortune to sustain a fractured hip and since
that time had more or less been confined to her bed. She was formerly Miss
Ann Jane Shannon and was one of a family of twelve, a daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. William Shannon of Sunbury, where she attended school and church
in her young years. About 70 years ago she was united in marriage to John
Joyce of North Fredericksburgh and came with her husband to the Napanee
district to reside. For 64 years she occupied the same house in the township
and on the death of her son, Stanley Joyce, six years ago, moved to her new
home. Mr. Joyce died 24 years ago. She was a
life-long member of the United Church of Canada and until advancing years
took an active interest in the work of the Bethany United Church, having been
prominent in the work of the Sunday School, the Women’s Missionary Society
and the Woman’s Association. She will
be greatly missed in the neighborhood as she was known to a wide circle of
friends. She leaves two
sons, W.C. Joyce of Gretna and Amos Joyce in Calgary and one daughter, Mrs.
Silas Storrington in Richmond Township. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Isaac Allen of Kingston and Mrs. Bell of Sidney Township. There are 10
grandchildren and six great grandchildren. The funeral
service will be held on Tuesday afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. A.C.
McCallum. Note: Photo included in original

Obituary
- Another of the old landmarks has been removed from the Anderson Methodist
church, Bay Circuit, in the death on Wednesday, February 19th, 1913, of Mr.
James Joyce. He was born June 10th, 1827, about one mile east of this late
home where he came with his parents when about eight years old. His father
and mother came from County Down, Ireland, about the year 1820. A much prized
heirloom in possession of Mr. J.M. Joyce, son of deceased, is a certificate
of transfer of membership from L.O.L. of County Down, Ireland, No. 65, dated
1820, showing he was a member of the Orange Order with the degree of Royal
Arch Purple Marksman and signed by Joseph Johnston, Master and Thos. Hughs,
Secretary. Deceased was also for many years a member of the Order, showing
the family have for a long time been identified with Orangeism. He was
in his eighty-sixth year, and enjoying his usual good health until a few days
before death, when he took la grippe, which rapidly developed pneumonia. His
physician, Dr. Vrooman, was called, but from the first held out little hope
of his recovery. Mr. Joyce was a loyal citizen, in politics, a Conservative,
and interested in all matters concerning the public good. An upright man,
possessed of a kindly winning disposition, he won and held the confidence of
both old and young. He was a consistent member and a liberal supporter of the
Methodist church, loyal to his pastor, and ready to assist any worthy social
or church enterprise. He was converted early in life, had a deep reverence
for the House of God, was regular in attendance at all its services, and
showed that the Spirit of the Master had become deeply wrought in his
character. He had been for many years Treasurer of the Trustee Board of
Anderson church, and a member of the Quarterly Board of the Bay Circuit.
During his last illness he expressed to his Pastor his abiding faith in God
and trust in his Saviour. He retained consciousness until the last, and a few
minutes before death, looking up, he seemed to see his Saviour coming, and
raised his hands as if trying to go to meet Him. He was a
kind and indulgent father, a loving husband, and as the responsible head of
his home, he tried to order his house after God's plan. Firm but kind with
his children, they will surely rise up and call him blessed. His wife
predeceased him about six years, and his four sons and three daughters
survive. The
funeral took place on Saturday, Feb. 22nd, leaving his late residence at 1
p.m., service in Anderson Methodist church. His Pastor, Rev. Geo. Nickle,
preached from the text Eccl. 7:1 "A good name is better than precious
ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth." Revds. J.P.
Wilson, Chairman of the District, J.W. Down, Selby, and W.D.P. Wilson,
Wilton, were present, and spoke words of high praise and personal
appreciation of the deceased. The remains were placed in the vault at Morven
cemetery. |

Obituary
- Miss Marjorie Joyce On
Friday afternoon last the funeral service of the late Marjorie Joyce called
forth warmest expressions of sincerest sympathy and regret and floral offerings
of great beauty and profusion testified to the large circle that shared a
common sorrow. Marjorie
was born in North Fredericksburgh, more than twenty years ago. Later,
sojourning in Napanee, she studied in the Collegiate, and was greatly beloved
for her genial social qualities. She delighted to help in the activities of
Grace church, of which she was a member. She joined in the work of the Choir,
and gladly assisted in whatever work was in the interest of the children and
young people. In her
second year of energetic training at the Rochester Homeopathic Hospital, she
came home on leave. Her fellow workers write much about her ability, and
acceptability. The rest cure not proving immediately effective, she spent a
short time in the Mowat Hospital at Kingston. For the last eight months she
dwelt happily with her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Joyce, in a beautiful, new cottage, among the fragrant
pines at Bancroft. Her sister, Jessie, came home, and gladly gave unremitting
care. On the evening of Tuesday, March 31st, the long, patient fight came to
an end that was peace. The
brothers, Sheldon and Arthur, returned from Rochester, and the remains were
brought from Bancroft. At the funeral service, held at the home, on Robert
St., on Friday, April 3rd, by request Mr. Wiseman and Miss Green sang
"When Night is Near". The Pastor, Rev. A.J. Terrill, spoke
feelingly of the zest of living, of the considerateness of others, and the
high courage that continued to the earthly end, and in which she showed Christian
fortitude. The remains were laid to rest in Riverside cemetery. The
young people of the community, by whom she has been much respected, have been
deeply moved by this decease. Especial sympathy is felt for the family
because of the recent death of Mrs. Baird, the mother of Mrs. Joyce. |

Joyce, Marjorie Jane (nee Baird) |
Gone to
Rest The
subject of this sketch, Marjorie Jane Baird, the beloved wife of James Joyce,
of North Fredericksburgh, departed this life in great peace, on Sunday March
10th, 1907. Her ancestors were numbered among the pioneers of this old
historic County, her father having been Samuel Baird, and her revered
mother's maiden name was Cynthia Shibley, both of whom have long since
crossed the bourne. The deceased was born in Ernesttown, near the village of
Bath, in the year 1829, and had she lived sixteen days longer she would have
attained her 78th year. She was married to her now sorrowing husband on April
2d, 1850. So they lived in happy wedded life for nearly 57 years. Their union
was blessed with four sons and three daughters who all survive and rise up to
call their sainted mother blessed. The honored sons are Samuel James,
William, John M. and Sheldon. the devoted daughters are Mrs. Rev. T.H.
Richard, Mrs. T.A. Percy, who has been for some years a widow, and Mrs.
Cartwright Hawley. Our translated friend was converted to God in early life
under the ministry of Rev. Sheldon Young of sacred memory. She united in
fellowship with the M.E. church shortly after her conversion, and was a loyal
and devoted member at the Anderson appointment on the Bay circuit, when her
Lord and Master said, "It is enough, come up higher." There never
was any special enterprise to be promoted in the church of her choice, in
which she did not have a hand, and the various means of grace were to her a
constant delight. She was visited with a slight stroke some four years ago,
from the effects of which she never recovered. About mid-summer she was taken
worse and gradually wasted away until she quietly fell asleep in Jesus, on
the last hour of the holy Sabbath the day she loved so well. She has gone to
be where her much loved Sabbath days will never end. The funeral which took place
on Wednesday, March 13th, was large and representative. A very touching and
effective memorial service was held in the Anderson Methodist church at 1.30
p.m. The church was beautifully draped and decorated, the floral display
being very fine. Her pastor, Rev. J.W. Down, preached a sermon of great
pathos and power, from the text; "If a man die shall he live again; all
the days of my appointed time will I wait until my change comes." Her
remains will rest in the City of the silent at Morven, until she has a part
in the first resurrection. |

Obituary
- Mr. Sheldon Young Joyce Sheldon
Y. Joyce, for many years a resident of Napanee, passed away Tuesday evening,
November 27th, 1928, at his late residence, corner of Bridge and Adelphi
Streets. His death was a great shock to all. Mr.
Joyce was at active business as usual on the Saturday immediately preceding
his death, but not feeling well and it may be that he did not realize how
serious his condition was. He enjoyed the best of health during his life
until a few months ago after which he complained of not feeling as well as
usual. He did
not know the seriousness of his condition until Sunday afternoon, November
25th, when he obtained medical advice. A sudden turn for the worse took place
Monday evening, and he rapidly grew weaker and passed away Tuesday evening at
8.30 o'clock. Mr.
Sheldon Y. Joyce was the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Joyce,
and was born on May 30th, 1861, in North Fredericksburgh on the old
homestead, near the Anderson Church, and he could well remember when that
church was built. He spent his boyhood days in that neighbourhood and
vicinity. Mr.
Joyce leaves to mourn his loss his widow, one daughter, and four sons, Mrs.
Arnold W. Wylie, of Brampton; Mrs. Percy S. Joyce, of Hamilton; Mr. Zina J.
Joyce and Mr. C. Dwight Joyce, of Toronto, and Mr. Sperry C. Joyce, of St.
Mary's and five grandchildren; also one sister and two brothers; Mrs.
Cartwright Hawley, Mr. William Joyce and Mr. John M. Joyce, all of Napanee. Mr.
Sheldon Y. Joyce was a member of the United Church, and a Conservative in his
politics. He was highly respected in the community, and his passing will be
severely felt by all. The
funeral was held at his late residence, on Friday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock,
and was conducted by Rev. Harry Pawson,
of Trinity United Church. He was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery, by his
four sons, son-in-law and brother. The
floral tributes from relatives and friends were lovely and numerous. |

JOYCE - After an illness of a few days William Joyce, of Adolphustown, passed
away at 6 o'clock, Wednesday evening, 25th March, from heart trouble and
pneumonia. Drs. Young and Northmore attended him and did all that could be
done to arrest the disease, but he gradually grew worse, and on the evening
of the 6th day of his illness he passed into the "beautiful
beyond." A good man has gone; gone out to come in no more forever, and
those endeared by kindred ties are called upon to mourn over and wonder at
the dispensation of providence, which has left an aching void to be filled
only by sweet thoughts and living remembrances of him they called husband,
father and friend. The deceased was a life-long Orangeman, 57 years of age,
and a useful and consistent member of the Methodist church. He leaves a wife
and three daughters, who have the sympathy of the entire community in this

Keech, Victoria (nee Joyce) |
Obituary - The
subject of this sketch, the late Mrs. Nelson Keech, nee Miss Victoria Joyce,
was born March 1st, 1839, and entered into rest on Sunday, March 1st, 1914,
being just 75 years of age. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Valentine
Joyce, of Armah, Ireland, with three children, came to Canada about 1828.
They settled in North Fredericksburgh and spent the remainder of life in that
township, on the farm now occupied by their son, Mr. John Joyce. Nine more
children were born in this country, one of whom was the subject of this
memoir. Forty-five years ago she married her now sorrowing husband. Three
sons, Melvin and Edwin, at home; James H., of North Fredericksburgh and Mrs.
Charles Lowry, Newburgh, survive to mourn the loss of a kind and loving
mother who sought to train her family up in the fear of the Lord. She was
converted to God in early life, joined the Bethany Methodist church and has
been a faithful attendant at the church services, especially enjoying the
class and fellowship meetings, and always ready to help in any enterprise of
the church. A good neighbor, a faithful wife, a kind mother. When quite young
she won a small Bible as a prize given by the late Rev. Eli Woodcock to the
child who learned the greatest number of Bible verses. To the last she highly
prized this little token. Our departed sister was in her usual health, and in
the early hours of the morning she awoke her sons and complained of a
difficulty in breathing, which soon became distressing The doctor was at once
called by phone, but in less than half an hour she passed away reclining in
the arms of her son, Melvin. Her body was placed in the vault, to be later
interred in the Bethany graveyard. Owing to a heavy snow storm, which blocked
the roads, the funeral service was postponed until Sunday, March 8th, when
the pastor, Rev. Geo. Nickle, conducted the service in Bethany Church. His
text was taken from 1. John 4:8 and John 13-1. A large number of friends were
present to express their sympathy with the family. |

Kennedy, Dr.
Roderick |
On March 15th,
1911, Dr. Roderick Kennedy, for many years a useful and highly respected
citizen of Bath, passed peacefully away, in the General Hospital, Kingston.
He was born at Cumberland House, on the Saskatchewan River, July 8th
1822 and was therefore in his 89th year. He was the youngest son of Alexander
Kennedy, Chief Factor of the Hudson Bay Company, at Cumberland House. His
brother, John was surgeon of the Hudson Bay Company at Fort Simpson on the
Pacific Coast and represented the District of Nanaimo, in the first
Parliament of British Columbia when Sir James Douglas was Governor. His
brother, William, was a daring and skilful navigator in the northern seas. In
1854, when Lady Franklin fitted out an expedition to go in search of her
husband, Sir John, she selected Captain William Kennedy to command the
expedition in the ship Prince Albert. He spent the winters of 1854-5 in the
Arctic Seas, and always believed that the expedition would have been
successful in finding what became of Sir John Franklin and his comrades, but
for the sad loss of Lieutenant Belat, who commanded the other ship, in an ice
crevass. A third brother, George, carried on business for a number of years
in the early days in Kingston. Roderick, the
subject of our sketch was sent when a boy to St. John's School at Fort Garry,
on the Red River, now Winnipeg, where he received his early education. His
father having died about this time, Sire George Simpson, Governor of the
Company, became his friend and adviser. When fourteen
years of age he left the school at Fort Garry with a good elementary
education received from those pioneer missionaries and teachers, whose memories
he always cherished in grateful remembrance and journeyed to Hudson Bay from
which place he took ship to London and then to the Orkney Islands. Here he
spent a year of more at St. Margaret's Hope, the old home of his ancestors.
He then went to Aberdeen, where he attended St. Andrew's College, preparing
for his chosen profession. In 1839 he entered the Royal College of Physicians
and Surgeons, Edinburgh, and after a distinguished course, graduated in 1844
L.R.C.P.S. Edin. In the same year Sir George Simpson appointed him Surgeon of
the Hudson Bay Company at Moose Factory, on James Bay. Arriving in Montreal
he started from Lachine early in the winter of 1844-5 with a Company of
voyagers and on snow shoes journeyed all the way via Bytown to Moose Factory.
Here he spent five years in the discharge of the duties of his office. In
1847 he married Mary, daughter of Governor McTavish, of the Hudson Bay
Company, and widow of the late George Ross, Factor of the Hudson Bay Company
at Moose Factory. Dr. Kennedy, in
addition to his large practice, filled several positions of honor and trust.
He was for several years Professor of Anatomy in the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Kingston. He was a member of the Bath School Board
and also of the Municipal and County Council. He was identified with the
Reform party in politics, and in religion was a member of the Anglican
Church. Mrs. Kennedy
died in 1886. She bore two sons and a daughter to the doctor. The daughter
died in infancy. The sons are Dr. Alexander, of Amherst Island, and Roderick,
Professor of Music. Dr. Kennedy
married Miss Mary Walkem, of Kingston, who also predeceased him. The Rev.
Alexander Howard Kennedy, B.A., of Sommerville, near Boston, and Mr. Roderick
Kennedy, of Portland, are sons of Dr. Alexander, who married Miss Howard, of
Bath. She died a few years ago. |

during the many years which he followed this profession. He was well versed

DEATH'S HARVEST
- ANDREW A. KERR - Sunday morning, Nov. 17th 1901, Andrew A. Kerr, one of our esteemed
citizens, died of Chronic Bright's disease at his late residence in North
Marysburgh. Though a sufferer from the disease for about ten years he was
able to manage his business, except for the last few months, when confined to
his house the rapid change in his condition gave evidence that the end was
not far distant. His illness and death were the cause of deep regret among
his friends, many of whom cherished fond hopes of his recovery during several
years after the symptoms of the disease first appeared. Deceased was the
eldest son of Wm. Kerr, Esq., who still survives him, and Catherine
McDonnell, the other surviving members being J. J. Kerr, merchant, London;
Mrs. David, Picton; Mrs. Wright, Conway. He was born in North Marysburgh 47
years ago, received a liberal education at the public school, managed the
homestead for a number of years, when he disposed of the farm and became a
general dealer in fruit, stock, etc., with considerable success. The
testimony of all who had business with or knew him, is that he was a man of
ability, honor and strict integrity, a quiet, peace-loving neighbor, a
dutiful son, loving husband and father, a consistent member of the church.
Faithful and devoted in his services at St. John's Anglican Church, having
filled each place of official honor. His presence and help will be greatly
missed by the congregation. The funeral services were conducted at St. John's
Church, by the Rev. Canon Loucks, assisted by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Irvine;
the Canon delivering an able and appropriate sermon, full of sympathy and
consolation for the bereaved family and friends. The A.O.U.W. and Foresters
Orders, of which he was a member, having been Financial Secretary of Court,
Waupoos, since its charter, in procession accompanied the funeral cortege to
the Church, thence to the Cemetery, and after the beautiful church burial
service was read by Rev. Canon Loucks, the burial service and rites of the orders
at the grave were conducted by the proper officers and brethren. Deceased
leaves a widow and four daughters who have the sympathy of their many friends
in this time of trial and bereavement. |

An Old Pioneer
Gone There died at
his residence at Napanee, on Sunday, Mr. John Kimmerly, aged 91 years and 6
months. Mr. Kimmerly was a son of a U.E. Loyalist and was born on the banks
of the Napanee River in 1788, and was among the first white children born in
that section of country. He has always resided in nearly the same locality,
cheerfully enduring all the privations and hardships of pioneer life. In the
war of 1812-15 he bore arms in behalf of his country and was a captain of the
militia. He drew a pension as one of the veterans. He was a man of very
cheerful and charitable disposition and temperate habits, and until within a
few hours of his death continued to go about cheerful and in good health. He
did not complain of one hour's pain. On Saturday he showed signs of faintness
and laid down, but continued to converse, in full possession of his senses,
until within a few minutes of his end. In regard to his death it may be
merely said "the weary wheels of life stood still." |

OBITUARY -
Arthur Ross King It has been a
long time since such widespread sorrow has been so keenly felt and expressed
as that caused by the death of the late Arthur Ross King, eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert King on Wednesday Sept. 1st, 1915. He had been engaged all summer drawing milk
from his home at Fifth Lake to Enterprise cheese factory. And on Wednesday morning while going down a
hill near Mrs. J. Burgess’ residence, about two miles north of Enterprise,
some part of the harness broke, and in trying to save his load of milk, he
lost his balance and fell under the horses feet. He was picked up by friends near by and was
taken in Mrs. Burgess’ home, and Dr. Horton was summoned immediately. But it was learned that he had sustained
injuries from which he could not recover, and he passed peacefully away at
5:30 p.m. The deceased was in his 27th
year. His pleasant smile and jolly
jokes were always heard on every side when he was present. He was liked by the old as well as the
young and was held in the highest respect by all. He was always on hand to do all he could in
time of need. This was one of the
saddest funerals that moved out from behind the hills in this locality in
many years and will long be remembered.
Gone, Arthur, but not forgotten.
Your good works and days of toil, your loving, cheery words cannot
leave us, although you are not with us.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the much bereaved parents, brothers
and sisters, and we trust that God will constantly visit them now while their
cup of sorrow is running over, and comfort them in their hour of need. The remains were followed by a large

Kirkpatrick, George
Airey |
THE LATE SIR
GEORGE AIREY KIRKPATRICK – Sir George Airey Kirkpatrick was born in Kingston,
Ont., 13th September, 1841 and was the fourth son of the late
Thos. Kirkpatrick. Q.C., who came from Coolmine. County Dublin, Ireland. Mr. Kirkpatrick received part of his
education at the Grammar School, Kingston, and the High School, St. Johns,
P.Q.; after which he was sent to Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated
with high honours, receiving the degrees of B.A. and L.L. B.; he also
graduated as moderator and silver medallist for law, literature and political
economy. Returning home, he entered
his father’s office, and there applied himself to a diligent study of the
law, and was called to the bar of Upper Canada and was appointed Queen’s
Counsel on the 11th October, 1880.
He received from his alma mater, in June, 1884, the degree of
L.L.D. In military affairs, Mr.
Kirkpatrick had always taken an active part, entering as a private during the
Trent affair, and rose step by step in the ranks until he reached the highest
command, that of Lieut.-Colonel. He
went again into active service in the town of Cornwall, during the Fenian
invasion, and acted during that period as adjutant to the 14th
P.W.O. Battalion. He was elected President of the Dominion Rifle Association,
and also commanded the Wimbledon Rifle team in 1876. In commercial life Mr. Kirkpatrick had
always had the advancement of his native city at heart, and had been one of
the foremost in founding several of its most important works. A large number of his friends, perceiving
his marked abilities and being anxious that they should be employed for the benefit
of his country in some legislative sphere, waited upon him and pressed upon
him to allow himself to be put in nomination for the seat in the House of
Commons made vacant by the death of his father. This was in the year 1870, and Mr.
Kirkpatrick’s father had for many years represented Frontenac. Mr. Kirkpatrick was returned, and the
electorate which had felt such confidence in their young representative were
soon convinced that their forecasting had been correct, for he at once
manifested the same excellent intellectual qualities in public which he had
shown in his private affairs. Whenever
he arose in the House it was for the purpose of accomplishing something
important, and when he spoke attention was given to him. His manner was never repellent, but always
gathered support, his bearing being dignified, kindly, but firm and
uncompromising. Soon men about the
Treasury benches began to say one to another that Mr. Kirkpatrick’s day for
some positioning the Government was drawing near. Meanwhile he had given his time to
legislative measures, and it was he who introduced the measure which aimed at
securing a lien for seamen’s wages on vessels plying on inland waters. Year
after year he introduced his measure, until eventually it found expression in
Mr. Blake’s Maritime court Act for Ontario.
How important Mr. Kirkpatrick’s measure was is now apparent to the
public, and sailors on inland seas regarded him justly as their
benefactor. As already stated, Mr.
Kirkpatrick was first returned to the House of commons for Frontenac in
1870. At the general elections of
1872, he was returned by acclamation; again returned in 1874; in 1878, and by acclamation at the general
election, which followed. Perceiving
his courtesy, dignity and address and his acute knowledge of Parliamentary
procedure, he was elected Speaker on the 8th of February,
1883. As a Speaker he was dignified,
impartial and effective; and always held the reins of the House with a firm
hand. He was married first on the 25th
of October, 1865 to Miss Frances Jane, daughter of the late Hon. John
Macaulay. She died on the 20th
of January, 1877. He married again on
the 26th of September, 1883, Miss Isabel Louisa, youngest daughter
of the Hon. Sir David L. Macpherson, Senator.
In politics, Mr. Kirkpatrick was always a Liberal-Conservative. In religion he was a member of the Church
of England. Mr. Kirkpatrick sat in the
House of Commons until 1892, being Speaker until 1887. In 1892, his seat was rendered vacant by
his accepting the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, upon the death of
Sir Alex Campbell. He had four sons
and one daughter by his first wife, and one son by his second wife – all
living. Mr. Kirkpatrick left Toronto
for England on the 16th of November, 1896. [**Clipping is cut off **] |

Kyes, Lizzie
R. (nee
Perry) |
Born At Violet
in 1860, Dies in U.S. - Mrs. Lizzie R.
Kyes, a native of this area, died October 1 in Riverside, California, a week
after reaching her 100th birthday. She was born at
Violet where her United Empire Loyalist parents lived on a Crown grant. At her birth there was a mill on the farm
whose foundations still exist. She was
the former Eliza Perry and her father, Daniel, was a cousin of the American
naval hero, Commodore Oliver H. Perry.
Her mother’s maiden name was
Comer. Mrs. Kyes moved
to Riverside from Kansas in 1879, making the transcontinental trip by train
and the last lap of the journey by stagecoach. At that time she had a sister, Mrs. M. B.
VanFleet, whose husband was the first Wells Fargo agent in Riverside. Born on
September 25, 1860, Mrs. Kyes was married Christmas Day, 1879, to H. P. Kyes,
an orange grower, and was active in the community life of Riverside for 81
years. On her 100th birthday she received congratulations from
President Eisenhower. When Grandma
Moses celebrated her 100th birthday, Mrs. Kyes sent her congratulations
and received a reply, while she was in hospital. Among the survivors is a daughter, Vera B.
Kyes, an artist, who lived with her mother. Mrs. Kyes was a
charter member of the women’s Christian Temperance Union and belonged to
Grace Methodist Church. For 10 years
every Christmas she used to collect and repair dolls and send them to
children in the mountains of Kentucky.
One year she sent 500. For many
of these youngsters they were the only dolls they ever saw. She began this hobby in 1941 and in later
years sent crocheted baby jackets and booties to Kentucky. Sixty years ago
Mrs. Kyes and her daughter visited Mrs. Kyes’ sister, Mrs Ryerson Gardiner,
the former Mercy Perry, at Violet. |
