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.

MRS. ROBERT 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. |

OBITUARY - Mrs. 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] W.W.L. |

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. Nolan, Hay Bay, Mrs. William
McConnell and the Misses Electa and Etta Jayne, 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, Kimmett, Geo Sampson, James

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.

(nee
Austin) |
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 |

Laurie Jellet Dies of Wounds – Word
has been received of the death of Laurie Jellet, an Edmonton boy 27 years of
age, who went overseas early in the war with the 66th
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 younger
brother of the deceased, is now a prisoner in Germany. Laurie Jellet was a grandson of the late Judge Jellet and nephew of Mrs.
D.J. Baker. |

Tuesday, September 11, 1934, William Jewell. Funeral Thursday afternoon, at
1:30 o'clock. The Late William J. Jewell The funeral service of the late
William J. Jewell, who died early on Tuesday morning, was held at his late
residence on Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock under Masonic auspices. The late Mr. Jewell had been in poor
health for some months and had been critically ill for about a month. He was
born in Prince Edward County, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Jewell,
with whom he removed to Adolphustown in this county, in his early youth. Mr. Jewell was a well known carpenter
and contractor in Napanee and the district. He learned his trade with his
father and later spent some time in Rochester, where he perfected his
knowledge of his calling. Following
his marriage to Miss Annie 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

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.

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. |

It is with regret we report the death
of the late John Joslin who passed away at his family residence on the 11th
inst. He contracted a severe cold some two months ago, which baffled medical
skill, and death claimed him as its victim. He leaves a wife and four small
boys to mourn the loss of a kind husband and loving father. The sympathy of
the community is for the bereaved family. Mr. Joslin labored in our midst for
a number of years. He was industrious, honest and a hard working man, and a
general favorite among all who knew him. The funeral was held in the White

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 paper.

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. |

WILLIAM 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
the hour of their great bereavement. The funeral, which took place on Friday,
was conducted by Rev. Mr. Shorey, and was largely attended. |

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. |

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. |

Kimmerly, John |
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 ballance 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
concourse of friends to the Methodist Church at Fifth Lake, on Friday, where
a very impressive sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Kemp, taking for his text
John 11:35 “Jesus wept” The remains were afterwards placed in the
cemetery there. Deceased was a member
of the L.O.L., Enterprise, and was buried under that Order. |

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. |
