Denis

 

Died - On Monday, the 23rd inst., Denis Lake, Esq., in the 66th year of his age. The funeral will take place from his late residence, corner of Queen and Sydenham streets to Cataraqui Cemetery, on Thursday, the 26th inst., at 2 o'clock p.m. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.

 

The Late Denis Lake, Esq.

By the death of Denis Lake, Esq., another active citizen has gone from amongst us and left a family in deep sorrow over the loss of a kind father, a dutiful husband, and good advisor.

Denis Lake was in the 66th year of his age. He was born in the year 1808 on lot 11 in the 4th concession of Ernestown, and the house in which he was born, though a frame one, is still standing and occupied. The Lakes spoken of in Dr. Canniff's "Settlement of Upper Canada", as amongst the first settlers of Ernestown were connected with his ancestry, and both his father and mother were sprung from related families bearing the same name. These families, mingling with others around them, gave him an extended tie of relationship in his native township.

'Hard work' being the motto in those days, he was early taught to bear his share, and to realize that this was his only road to fortune; and in aiming at this end, he spared no exertions.

When about 25 years of age he settled in Portland, where he continued to reside till last fall. When he went there that part of the country was almost a wilderness, although now it is one of the finest sections about Kingston.

By industry, strict economy, and good judgment he succeeded in his vocation, and soon becoming an extensive and model farmer, he was enabled to secure a large quantity of land, which under his management and good taste became one of the finest country homesteads in the Province. Believing good roads to be the great necessity for the development of a country, he took an active part in the construction of the Kingston and Portland macadamized road, which passed his door, and in which he was a part owner when he died.

He had no ambition for municipal or political honours, although he held the position of councillor, both in the township of Portland and in the County of Frontenac for several years.

Finding his bodily and mental powers beginning to fail, last summer he decided to sell his homestead, and to retire from active business life; he sold and moved into Kingston with this intention, but his quiet enjoyment has been suddenly brought to a close by death.

He has followed to the grave an infant son and two married daughters, and has now left a wife and three daughters - two married, and one unmarried - to follow him.

Mr. Lake was always a strictly temperate man, moral and upright in his conduct; and believed that every man was the 'architect of his own fortune,' with power to make it lucky or unlucky by his own course of conduct; that industry coupled with virtue will surely succeed, and that idleness and vice will as certainly lead to utter failure.

In religious matters he was liberal, and looked upon particular dogmas, and the various separations on account of creed, as the inventions of man; the foundation of his religious belief being expressed in a text which he frequently used to quote, "to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God," as being the whole duty of man.

Although not belonging strictly to any church, he had for many years past manifested a preference for the church of England; and during his last illness he received the constant attention of two of its ministers, the Revs. Messrs. Mulock and Wilson. The Revs. Messrs. Sanderson and Eason of the W.M. Church visited him also, the former frequently, and with their Christian kindness he was much pleased. He died triumphant in the faith, notwithstanding the extreme bodily suffering he passed through.

In politics he was also liberal, and latterly was strongly in favour of reform principles. Although his education in youth was from necessity defective, it was sufficiently competent for business transactions, and for many years having been an extensive reader, he was a well informed man and thoroughly acquainted with the history and politics of his own country.

Mr. Lake furnishes a good example to young men, by showing that one can go into the woods with is axe on his shoulder, and a determination to succeed, as his only stock in trade, and in the course of a lifetime become one of the wealthiest men of his locality and times, and dying fell the satisfaction of leaving his family well and comfortably provided for.

May we all be instructed by his example, and encouraged to persevere.

 

Funeral - Yesterday, the funeral of the late Mr. Denis Lake took place, and was largely attended by his old friends and acquaintances. The body was conveyed to St. Paul's Church, where the service was read, after which it was taken to Cataraqui Cemetery. The pall-bearers were Sheriff Ferguson, Messrs John A. Shibley, Isaac Simpson, Johnson Day, A. McCormick, and Peter McKim.

James P. Lake, Morven, aged seventy-four died at the general hospital this morning from disease of the liver. A couple of weeks ago deceased came to Kingston to undergo treatment at the hands of the christian scientists, but becoming worse, entered the hospital two days ago.

 

In Memoriam - The Late James Parker Lake

James P. Lake, whose death occurred at Kingston hospital Thursday of last week, 31st ult., was one of the old and well-known residents of the county. He was a son of James Lake, one of the early residents, and was born in Ernesttown on August 19th 1825. He was, therefore, past seventy-four years of age at the time of his death. He was an active business man in the county for many years. From 1850 to 1864 he and his brother, the late Samuel Lake, carried on a large carriage making business at Morven, which was then a very active and flourishing manufacturing village. They moved to Newburgh, and later on he conducted quite an extensive manufacturing business in Napanee, on the corner of Dundas and Robert Streets, the site of the old skating rink. The buildings were burned there and he carried on farming and carriage building from some time near the Fredericksburg railway station. Years later he and his sons became interested in the Temperance colonization company in the north-west territories, and they were proprietors of the celebrated "Clark's Ferry" at the time of the great North-West rebellion. It was near that place that the decisive battle of Batoche was fought on the 12th of May, 1885, which terminated the hostilities. The home and teams of the Lakes were used by the Canadian forces during that time. Since then Mr. Lake returned to this county and has been a resident here ever since. His health had been very poor for some months past, of some liver trouble, but only a few weeks ago he informed the writer that he expected to recover again. He had just then returned from some weeks' stay among friends at Niagara and Toronto, and felt greatly benefitted by the change.

Mr. Lake was twice married, first to Mrs. Amy Frazer, daughter of the late Lewis Gordanier, of Morven, who died in October, 1892, and later on to Mrs. Electa Martin, daughter of the late Calvin Miller, Esq., of Switzerville, who survives him. His sons who survive him are J.F. Lake, Morven, and Parker D. and C.A. who are in the north-west. Mrs. Mullett, of South Fredericksburgh, is a daughter. He was an active member of the Methodist church from 1853 until the time of his death, and died in triumphs of the faith in which he lived. His surviving brothers are Silas Lake, near Trenton, a local preacher and class leader there, and John N. Lake, of Toronto, in the real estate business there, and one of the treasurers of the Methodist general conference funds. Both these gentlemen were once residents of Ernesttown, and are well known to many of our readers. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon last at the Morven Methodist church. Rev Mr. Wickett conducting it. The body was deposited in the Morven vault.

 

[Fredericksburgh, Sept. 12] The remains of the late James P. Lake were interred in the White church burying ground today.

At Buffalo N.Y. on Tuesday, Dec 8th, 1914, Mrs. Freeman Lane, aged 68 years.

 

Another of the former residents of Napanee has added her name to the large roll of those who have passed from these to everlasting habitations.  Mrs. Sarah E. Lane, wife and widow of Freeman Lane, also formerly of this town, died in Buffalo, N.Y., on Tuesday, the 8th of December.  She was for many years an active and enthusiastic member of the Western Methodist Church (now Grace Church), never grudging any personal effort to forward the interests and the spiritual enterprises of that church body, and yet always ready to lend a helping hand to the advancement of the cause of the Kingdom of God under whatsoever auspices the appeal came.  She was a faithful participant in all good works and was above all a good mother, who administered unto her children with truest fidelity, the higher things of the spirit.  And now that she has fought the good fight and finished the course and kept the faith, there is laid up for her the crown of righteousness, and unto her children there remains the power of her just life and the memory of a faith unfailing and undimmed to guide their way.  She was predeceased by her husband about two years ago and by her brother, Thomas A. Huffman, about a year ago.  There remain to mourn her loss two sons, Dr. M. S. Lane of Buffalo, N.Y. and Prof. Wilmot B. Lane, of Victoria College, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.

Another of the older generation and a life long resident of our town has passed away, in the person of Mrs. E. S. Lapum, who died very unexpectedly on the early morning of January 25th, 1921.  Her maiden name was Margaret Lavina Duncan, and she was born in the Township of Fredericksburgh, just east of the town, on February 14th, 1851, but her family moved into Napanee when she was yet a little girl.  Besides her husband, she leaves two sons, Fred S., of Mexico City, and Hartley, of Napanee, and one sister, Mrs. W. A. Steacy.  Mrs. Lapum had not been in good health for the past ten years of more, but she bore any troubles she may have had as only one whose ideas were all the highest and who lived up to them, could bear the.  Her immediate relatives have our sincere sympathy, in the loss of one who was loved by those who knew her well enough and who was respected by everyone who knew her at all.  The funeral, which was a large and representative one, was held in Trinity Church at 2.30 p.m. on Thursday, January 27th.

MRS. J. LAWRENCE -

Whose maiden name was Matilda Rickenbrode, was born in the township of Washington, Clarion Co., Pa., in the year 1849 and died in Harwich, county of Kent, July 16th, 1886. 

Sister Lawrence was converted to God when fifteen years of age.   Being born of pious and devoted parents, her young feet were early taught to tread in the paths of righteousness.  She having known the Scriptures from her youth, and having more than an ordinary amiable disposition the Holy Ghost found in her heart a beautiful temple for his abiding home; her life beautifully illustrating the words of the Master, “I am the vine, ye are the branches; he that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit.”  The fruit of her Christian life was seen in the home, where she ruled with firmness and love.  Her smiles seemed bathed in sweetness and light and her laughter chastened by grace more musical that the rippling brook.  She was a “mother”. The Church to her mind was the intermediate state between earth and heaven.  The language of her heart was “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.”  During her long and painful affliction she was often heard to say, “My soul longeth, yea even fainteth, for the courts of the Lord.  My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.”  When so weakened by disease that she could no longer take her place in the sanctuary she committed her all to the ever living One, who kept her by his mighty power through the fiery furnace through which she was called to pass.  When in the valley she asked the writer to sing.  I said, “What shall I sing?”  “Sing:  “Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb?”

Thus died one of God’s elect and most precious jewels, in hope of a glorious immortality.  She left behind, a kind husband and five dear children, who deeply feel their loss.  Her last remains were followed by a large concourse of people to the Methodist church in the town of Blenheim, where an appropriate service was held, and thence to the evergreen cemetery where she was laid away in the hope of a glorious resurrection.     J.

Edward Lloyd Killed by Milk Truck

A most unfortunate accident occurred early Monday morning at Sillsville, when Mr. Edward Lloyd was struck and instantly killed by a truck driver and owned by George Ohlman.

The accident happened at Mr. Lloyd's home just opposite the post office at the village of Sillsville, on the county road. Mr. Ohlman, who draws milk to the Acme Farmers' Dairy at Napanee, was coming to town with his morning's load of milk. He was accompanied by Durwood Garrison. Mr. Lloyd, it is alleged, was moving large lumps of mud from the road, which had been dropped by a tractor. The wheels on the left-hand side of the truck apparently struck Mr. Lloyd and passed over part of his body, killing him instantly.

Dr. Hall, of Napanee, and Provincial Constable F.W. Barrett were called immediately, and investigated.

An inquest will be held on Friday, May 18th, at 2:00 p.m. at Sillsville.

Mr. Lloyd was a fisherman who had lived in the Sillsville district all his life. He was 55 years of age and leaves his wife and family of ten children. One of his older sons has worked in Napanee for some years with W.H. Hunter & Son, in connection with their milk business.

Five Children Burned to Death

Napanee, Jan. 31st - Five young children left alone in a house three miles from here to-day were burned to death when the house was completely destroyed by fire.  The children were all of the family of Arthur Lloyd, cheesemaker of North Fredericksburg Station.

Mr. Lloyd was in the bush gathering wood.  Mrs. Lloyd was visiting at a neighbor's house and the oldest child was at school when the fire broke out from an unknown cause, at ten o'clock.

Volunteer helpers called all over the surrounding countryside were too late either to check the flames or to effect an entrance to the burning building.  The body of one child has been recovered from the ruins.

 

Five Kiddies Lost Lives in Home Fire

Napanee, Ont., Jan. 31. – Five children, ranging from one to nine years of age, were burned to death this morning when the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lloyd, of Fredericksburgh Station was destroyed by fire. The husband was working in the woods and the mother was returning a borrowed tub to a neighbor half a mile away when the fire started. One of the eldest children had just left for school.

 

Five Children Die in Ontario Farmhouse Fire – Frame House of Arthur Lloyd, North Fredericksburgh, Destroyed – Both Parents are Absent at Outbreak – Coroner and Policeman Reach Scene to Investigate by Horse-Sleigh

Napanee, Ont., Jan. 31 – Provincial police and a coroner are investigating the death of five small children, who perished in the flames of their burning home at North Fredericksburgh Station, five miles east of here this morning.

The children ranged in age from one to nine years and were the family of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lloyd. One of the children was sick in bed.

Communications Broken – Provincial Police Officer F.W. Barrett and Dr. T.M. Galbraith, coroner, went to the scene of the fire this afternoon by horse sleigh. Snowstorms have disrupted telephonic communications and the roads are impassable for automobiles.

Arthur Lloyd was not a home when the fire took place. He was in the bush cutting wood, while his wife was visiting a neighbor half a mile distant from her home.

Cause Unknown – The cause of the fire, which totally destroyed the little frame farmhouse remains unknown.

Attracted by the smoke, the distracted mother rushed to her burning home with neighbours, but they could not help the imprisoned children.

 

Five Children Are Burned to Death At Fredericksburgh

Awful Tragedy Occurred at Frame Residence of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lloyd on Friday Morning – One Child Was Ill – Fire Broke Out During Parents’ Absence – Father at Work, Mother at a Neighbour’s House

Napanee, Jan.31 - A terrible tragedy occurred at Fredericksburgh, about five miles east of Napanee, at about 9 a.m. today when five children, ranging in age from one year to nine years, lost their lives in a disastrous fire which destroyed the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lloyd.

It appears that Mr. Lloyd went to cut wood in the bush this morning from his home in the vicinity of Fredericksburgh Station leaving his wife and six children in the home. One of the children later left the home for school, the other five children, one of whom was ill in bed, remaining in the house with their mother.

Shortly before nine o’clock, Mrs. Lloyd had occasion to leave her five small children alone for a time while she went to the home of a neighbour, about a quarter of a mile away and it was during her absence that fire broke out.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd was of wooden frame structure and the fire, caused through some agency which has not yet been ascertained, spread most rapidly, trapping the children who were either burned to death or suffocated by the smoke and fumes.

Attracted by the smoke, the distracted mother rushed to the scene with neighbours but they could not help the imprisoned children.

Boys Tried Rescue

Two young boys saw the flames and smoke from the road and are said to have tried to break into the blazing home through a window but were driven off by the dense smoke. Faintly they could hear the cries of the children trapped within.

When Mrs. Lloyd and neighbours arrived on the scene, the building was a mass of flames.

Telephone communication with Fredericksburgh has been interrupted by heavy snow storms with the roads from this town practically impassable except for horse-drawn vehicles. The tragedy is being investigated by the authorities from here who were compelled to travel to the scene of the accident by horse and sleigh.

Provincial Officer Barrett, who investigated the occurrence states that the names of the children who perished are Harold, aged eight; Allen, aged six; Cora, aged four; George, nearly three years old; and Madeline, aged sixteen months.

The bodies of the unfortunate victims were discovered huddled together as if for protection in the cellar of the house, the remains being badly burned.

Mrs. Lloyd, the mother of the children is said to have been the first to discover the fire when she noticed flames issuing from the building as she came out of her neighbour’s home. An alarm was immediately raised and Fred A. Berry, on whose farm the house stood together with A. Hill, the school teacher and other men in the vicinity immediately rushed to the scene but it was impossible to enter the building so fiercely was the fire raging.

Dr. T.M. Galbraith, the coroner from Napanee, after receiving Provincial Officer Barrett’s report and viewing the remains, decided that an inquest was unnecessary.

 

No Clue to Cause of Fire Which Caused Tragedy - Burial of Five Young Children of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lloyd Takes Place at Napanee Sunday

Napanee, Feb.1 – A close examination of the ruins of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lloyd, Fredericksburgh Station, has revealed practically no clue to the cause of the fire which yesterday destroyed the house and wiped out the lives of five little children.

The mother is in a state of collapse, but she was able to tell officers investigating the fire that when she left home Friday morning, there was a coal fire in a stove in the kitchen. She looked at it before she went out and it was quite all right. The fire seems to have started in the kitchen, where the mother left her little family playing about and indications were that when it broke out the children ran into an adjacent bedroom, probably to hide from the flames. The bodies were found in the cellar of the house, just below where the bedroom had been.

The grief-stricken parents and the surviving children were taken care of at the home of Mr. William Cummings for a time after the fire and later they went to Napanee with Mrs. Lloyd’s father, Mr. William Sweet.

The little bodies were also removed to a Napanee undertaking parlor and while funeral arrangements were not complete Saturday morning, it was expected that the burial would be on Sunday at Napanee.

The whole of the Township of Fredericksburgh is terribly shocked by the tragic occurrence and expressions of sympathy for the sorely bereaved parents are on everyone’s lips.

Lloyd, who for practically all his lifetime had been a resident of Napanee, died suddenly early Saturday morning at his home on Water street.  Mr. Lloyd, about three years ago suffered a severe stroke and since that time had been confined to the house.  His condition had been about as usual, until he was suddenly stricken with a severe heart attack, from which he passed away with a short time.

Mr. Lloyd was born in South Fredericksburgh and was the son of the late Jacob and Mary Lloyd.  For thirty years he was engaged in railroad work, from which he retired about five years ago.  He was one of the first men to work on the Bay Quinte Railroad and was foreman of a section gang.  Later he was employed by the G.T.R. and the C.N.R.  For a short time he lived in Oshawa, but the greater part of his life was spent in Napanee.  He was in his 76th year.

Mr. Lloyd is survived by his wife formerly Clara Lynn, and four daughters and one son.  The children are Mrs. Peter Bates, Hobart, Indiana;   Mrs. Harry Harvey, Chicago, Ill.;  Mrs. M. Schuster, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Wilfred Boyd, Portland, Oregon, and Raymond Lloyd of California.  One daughter, Mrs. Tom Spence, died a short time ago.

Man Killed By Auto

Victim From Sillsville Suffers Broken Neck

Kingston, August 1 - A man identified as William H. Lloyd, 53, of Sillsville, Ont., was instantly killed late last night when struck by an automobile on a highway near here. The man, who suffered a broken neck and internal injuries, was believed to have been walking home after spending the day in Kingston.

The automobile, travelling west in the same direction as Lloyd, was said to have been driven by Charles Purdy, of Cataraqui. Police said the man appeared suddenly in front of the car and the driver had no chance to avoid hitting him.

An inquest will be held, probably on Wednesday.

OBITUARY -

Mrs. J. S. Lochhead, the subject of this brief sketch, formerly Miss Eliza Ann Baker, was born in Camden on June 3d 1833 and passed to her reward on Wednesday, April 8th, 1908.  She was of U. E. Descent.  When seventeen years of age the change took place which altered the whole current of her life and made her what her life proved to be, a benediction to her home and a blessing to the community.  Our departed sister was a consistent and devoted member of the Methodist church for fifty-seven years and a lover of the old fashioned class and prayer meetings.

On Sept 30th 1857, she was united in marriage to James S. Lochhead, of Centreville, where she resided the remainder of her life.  The fruits of her godly life were best seen in her home, where for long years, she presided with wisdom, tact and self-poise.  Her strong common sense and true maternal instincts under the direction and control of the divine spirit, made her a centre of influence, not only in her own family but in the church, the village and the community at large, where she was a veritable tower of strength in any time of trouble.

Her death came unexpectedly.  Going out to mail a letter to one of her children, she slipped and fell, becoming unconscious almost immediately.  She remained in that comatose state till evening, when she was not for God took her. 

The funeral services were conducted at the house by her pastor, Rev. R. Allin and were very impressive.  What a contrast there was between this gathering and the one on Sept 30th of last year, when she and her husband celebrated their golden wedding.

Her husband, four daughters, Janet, at home, Mrs. T. C. Craighead and Clara, of Vancouver, and Laura, of Peterborough, and three sons, Dr. J. A. of Hamilton; J. Mortimer, at home, and William M.A., of Berlin, remain to mourn a keenly felt loss, but with a sure and certain hope of meeting on the other side of the river, where we shall see as we are seen and know as we are known.

RAILROAD CONDUCTOR MEETS HIS DEATH NEAR RICE’S – James Locke of Watertown Struck by Club Train, Dying on Way to Hospital – Watertown, Nov. 3 – Struck by the Club train within a few hundred yards of Rice’s this morning, James F. Locke, 31 years of age, a well-known railroad conductor, residing at No. 100 South Massey street, died while being hurried to the City Hospital a half hour later,  Mr. Locke is survived by a widow and two sisters, one residing in Ottawa, the other in the West.  Conductor Locke was born in Ottawa, but had resided here for the past twelve years.  Among railroad men he was regarded as one of the most careful in the company’s employ.  He left here this morning in charge of a work train that took a switch at Rice’s to allow a double-header to pass it northbound.  The freight had passed and Conductor Locke, after throwing the switch, walked around the locomotive attached to his train and stepped directly in front of the Club train, southbound, on the third track.  The Club train was running perhaps thirty miles an hour, and hurled the man to what later resulted in his death.  Mr. Locke was placed in the caboose and hurried here in the hope that medical attendance might forestall death, but in vain.  Though awaiting word from the sister in the West, it is probable that the funeral will be held Saturday at the home of a sister-in-law, Mrs. James Hopper, No., 139 North Hamilton street.

 

OBITUARY – Funeral of James Locke – The funeral of James Locke, the conductor who died on the way to the hospital yesterday, after being struck by a train at Rices, will be held at the home of his brother-in-law James Hoppe, No. 139 North Hamilton street, Saturday morning at 8:15 and from St. Patrick’s church at 9:30.  Rev. P. J. Devlin will officiate in High Mass.  Interment will be made at Copenhagen.  The railroad company has given a special train for the use of the relatives, friends and railroad employees, and it will leave for Copenhagen at 10:30.  Mr. Locke is survived by a wife, Mrs. Maude Graham Locke and two sisters, Mrs. Ernest Baker of Ottawa, and Mrs. J. R. Murphy of Mitchell, S.D.  He was a member of the Railroad Order of Conductors and was popular among his fellow workmen, and has many friends in the city.  Coroner S.C. Hollins of Belleville viewed the remains at Payne & Burns’ undertaking parlors, and will hold an inquest at Adams tomorrow at 10 o’clock.  Dr. C. N. Bibbins acted as coroner’s physician, and gave as the cause of death, shock and internal hemorrhages, due to accident.

Hannah Lockwood

The subject of this obituary, whose maiden name was Stove, was born in Earnestown, August 24th, 1795 and was married to Joseph Lockwood in 1814, and with him moved to the township of Sidney in the same year; she was converted in 1815 and joined the Methodist Church. Methodism was comparatively young in Canada at that time, but it was aggressive and prosperous. Sister Lockwood was happy in her religious life; she loved the Church and was faithful in her attendance upon the means of grace and it was no unusual occurrence for her to shout aloud the praises of God. The Methodists in those days usually went to the Quarterly Meetings, travelling sometimes forty and fifty miles to do so, and would stay from Saturday until Monday among the brethren in the neighborhood of the meeting. Brother and Sister Lockwood have entertained as high as sixteen during a quarterly meeting in their neighborhood, and considered it an honor to have the privilege of doing so. Her house was called “the preacher’s home,” and many a weary itinerant found there a place of refreshment and rest. I became acquainted with her in September, 1845 and from a personal experience know whereof I write. In aiding the Church financially, she dealt with a liberal hand in measure as ability had been given. Of her it in truth can be said, “She did what she could.” She had the common infirmities of a redeemed humanity in a probationary state, but she kept steadily pressing “toward the mark of the prize,” and after having served her generation in the church seventy-five years, she fell to sleep in Jesus, on February 8th, 1890.   H. Williams.

About a week before his death he suffered a very severe stroke from which he did not rally.

The late Mr. Loucks was born in North Fredericksburgh eighty-five years ago, but had resided in Clarksville, a suburb of Napanee, practically all his life. In early life he was united in marriage to Miss Chatterson, Napanee, and had issue of two sons, Arthur, who died about ten years ago, and Charles, who resides on Thomas Street, Napanee.

J.G. Loucks

J.G. Loucks died at his residence, Newburgh Road, on Saturday evening after a five day illness. He was in rather poor health for the past two years.

Mr. Loucks, who was in his 85th year, had lived in Napanee all his life. He was born in North Fredericksburgh, a short distance from Clarksville, in a log house, built by his United Empire Loyalist grandfather, Jacob Loucks, on land deeded him by the Crown in the 1770s. He was the son of the late A.E. Loucks and husband of the late Nellie Phillips.

In a statement made upon his retirement from business, some 10 years ago, he said he had established a record in the number of years of actually carrying on a business in the town. He had at that time run his butcher shop for over 50 years.

Up to a few years ago, he was an active member of Grace United Church, but ill-health prevented his attendance there recently. He had been a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters for many years and a few years ago he was made an honorary member.

He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Mark Shultz, Napanee; a half-sister, Mrs. Della Wood, Camp Hill, Pa.; and two brothers, Fletcher of Winnipeg and Thomas of Melita, Manitoba.

Late John Lucas, Moscow - He Was the Son of a U.E. Loyalist - His Long Career and Pious Ending - 

The subject of this obituary has no doubt been known from many years in this city and the adjoining townships.

John Lucas was born in Earnestown, near Odessa, on Sept. 30th, 1820, and died Dec. 14th, 1885, in the 76th year of his age. He was a son of the late Dennis Lucas, United Empire Loyalist. John Lucas settled in the Township of Camden, in the Huffman neighborhood, now known as Moscow, in 1833. On the 1st of October in the following year (1834), he was united in marriage to Mary J. Aylsworth, daughter of the late Bowen Aylsworth, of Earnestown. In her he found a devoted and faithful wife. She still lives to mourn his loss. They had fourteen children and all are living, and grown to man and womanhood, six boys and eight girls. All these are married and settled in life except three girls, still living at the old home. John Lucas was a Christian of worthy example to many. He was converted in his own home, in October of the year 1836, and united with the Methodist church, and continued a consistent member until his death. His great concern through life was for the welfare of his family and his church. He was painstaking and careful to look after all the interests of his family, making them comfortable. He proved a devoted husband and faithful father. In the church he acted as steward and class leader for many years with great acceptation. His interest in the political welfare of his country as a Reformer was ever consistently and prudently directed. He never allowed politics to interfere with his religion. The last years of his life were years of quiet and patient suffering. In all his devotion to Christ it was evident that he lived in readiness for the coming of the master to call him home. May the mantle of the father fall on the children.

The Late John Lucas

The death occurred at his home in Napanee of Mr. John Lucas, on Sunday, February 3rd. Mr. Lucas, who was caretaker of Riverside cemetery, was taken suddenly ill on the preceding Friday, while helping to trim trees in the cemetery grounds. Shortly after, he was seized with a paralytic stroke, and passed away on Sunday evening.

The late Mr. Lucas, who was in his 77th year, was born at Big Creek in North Fredericksburgh Township. His father, who was of English U.E. Loyalist stock, was a farmer and the son followed the same vocation for many years. A little over 19 years ago, he became the caretaker of Riverside Cemetery, a position he filled efficiently until his death.

The splendidly kept grounds reflected much credit on the care and taste of Mr. Lucas.

Mr. Lucas was twice married. His first wife, formerly Lucinda Akey, died over thirty years ago, leaving two sons, John Jr. and Percy. Twenty years ago, Mr. Lucas married Mrs. Peter Smith, at Springbrook, Ont. To them was born one daughter, Janet. Mr. Angus Smith is a step-son.

Mr. Lucas was a member of the Plymouth Brethren and the funeral service was conducted on Tuesday afternoon by Mr. Hayhoe, a minister for the Brethren from Ottawa. The body was borne to the vault in the cemetery by Mr. E.J. Walters, Mr. R.S. Wales, Mr. Percy Vine, Mr. Angus Smith, Mr. John Lucas and Mr. Epriam Robinson.

The subject of this sketch was well known for many years in Moscow and surrounding country. Mary J. Lucas was born in Ernesttown, near Bath, on April 4th, 1815 and died on Feb. 26th, 1890 in the seventy-fifth year of her age. She was a daughter of the late Bowen Aylesworth and married the late John Lucas on Oct. 1st, 1834. They had fourteen children. All are living. The six boys and eight girls are all married and settled in life except one girl, who still lives at the old home with her brother, D.W. Lucas. Mary J. Lucas was a faithful wife and a loving mother. She was a member of the Methodist church for nearly sixty years.

She was converted in 1830, though for six years previously she was much impressed with her sinful state and did much to secure pardon. Her first religious impressions occurred when her brother died, when she was nine years of age. In after life she was a vigorous christian. Her great desire was the salvation of her children. She was ill for two weeks and then passed to rest. In the last six years of her life she spent a great deal of her time reading the bible, which she read through six times in the last seven years. Her funeral was largely attended. Rev. S.F. Depew preached a sermon from Luke VII. 48.
