Mabee,

Dr. J. E.

 

MABEE - Entered into rest at his home, Odessa, on Tuesday, August 20, 1940, Dr. J. E. Mabee, dear husband of B. Decker, formerly of Whitby, and father of Dr. H. C. Mabee, Kingston, Ontario.  Funeral will take place from his late residence on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock (Daylight Saving time).  Friends and acquaintances respectfully invited to attend.  Interment at Cataraqui Cemetery.  Masonic service..

 

Dr. J. E. Mabee Medical man For 53 Years -

Funeral services for the late Dr. J. E. Mabee, who died at his home in Odessa late Tuesday morning, will be conducted at his residence Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock (D.S.T.) Interment will be at Cataraqui Cemetery and a Masonic service will be held.

The death of Dr. Mabee removed the oldest practising physician in this part of the country for it was for 53 years that Dr. Mabee practised his profession, always at Odessa.  For 52 years of that he was medical health officer of the Township of Ernestown, a record believed to be unequalled anywhere in Canada.  The late Dr. Mabee was born May 22, 1851, in the Township of Louth, near Beamsville, the son of Thomas Mabee of Prince Edward County and Amanda Tinlin of Beamsville.  The family moved to Odessa when Dr. Mabee was six years old and outside of the time he was in attendance at Queen’s University, he had resided in Odessa.  He was educated there, going on to Queen’s University in the medical school from which he graduated in 1887.  He went right back to Odessa, bought out the practice of Dr. Thomas Beeman, started in to practise medicine and continued there ever since.  Dr. Mabee was known all over the countryside.  He was a friend and counsellor to the great majority of the people of the community and not only attended to their medical and surgical needs but shared their troubles and joys.  He was the typical family doctor, confidant and thoroughly interested friend, all rolled into one.  Despite his long years of practice, he had not actually retired from the profession, though of late he had not done extensive work.

He was ill in bed only a little more than a week.  He had been in Bloomfield on August 9 to see his first cousin, P.A. Mabee, whose wife died last May.  They had been married 77 years.

Honored Doctor -

Dr. Mabee was a member of the Frontenac Medical Association and the Lennox and Addington Medical Association.  He was a life member of the Ontario Medical Association.  Three years ago he was honoured by the Frontenac Medical Society when he had completed fifty years of medical practice.  A dinner was tendered in his honor at the Kingston General Hospital and he was presented with a gold-headed cane and the warm congratulations of members of the medical profession.  He was a member of the Independent Order of Foresters, Chosen Friends, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Prince Arthur Masonic Lodge, all of Odessa.  He was also a member of the Eastern Star.  During the first World War he took a keen interest in the work of the Red Cross and played a leading part of the activities of the Red Cross in the Odessa district.

The deceased doctor had also taken an active interest in the militia in his younger days and succeeded Lt.-Col. Cox of Enterprise as commanding officer of the old 47th Regiment, which had a company in Odessa.  He was a member of the United Church.

He married twice.  His first wife was Frances Storms of Odessa, who died in 1888.  To this union were born one son, Dr. Horace Mabee, William Street, Kingston, and one daughter, Grace, who died at the age of 16 years.  Dr. Mabee married Beatrice Decker of Whitby in 1903, who survives.

In Memoriam - The Late Miss Macdonald

Miss Macdonald, only sister of Sir John A. Macdonald, died at three o'clock on Sunday morning. About two weeks ago her illness assumed a serious aspect, and since that time she has been gradually growing worse. Her disease was the result of a heart affection from which she suffered for many years. The deceased was seventy years of age, several years younger than the premier. She was a resident of Kingston for nearly half a century, residing with her brother while he lived here, and for the past twenty years with her brother-in-law, Rev. Dr. Williamson, of Queen's University. She was mild and gentle in character and disposition, and beloved by all with whom she came in contact. She was a woman of much ability, well read and brilliant in conversation. She bubbled over with humour and wit, even eclipsing her eminent brother in rapartee. She was of generous and noble impulse, and quite religious. For years she was connected with St. Andrew's church. Although an invalid for the best part of her life, she ever maintained patience and resignation. Sir John arrived here yesterday, but his sister had departed this life. Mr. McIntrye broke the news to him. The funeral occurs tomorrow morning.

Death of Mrs. Macdonald

The death of Mrs. Macdonald, relict of the late Hugh Macdonald, Esq., and mother of the Hon. John a. Macdonald, Ex-Attorney General, will be found noted in the appropriate place. This lady, by her relationship to the ex-Premier, was known all over the Province, and her death will be heard with regret by hundreds who have met her in social intercourse and partaken of her hospitality. Thousands also of Mr. Macdonald's personal friends will condole with him in his affliction at the loss of an estimable parent. The deceased lady died at the advanced age of 85 years, and was perhaps the last connecting link of an old circle of Kingston society. Her demise has deprived the city of one more of its oldest inhabitants - those who remember Kingston in the early days of its settlement, and are intimately acquainted with each subsequent development of its growth into political and commercial importance.

SLEPT PEACEFULLY AWAY -

Death of Miss Mary Mackenzie, in Rochester -

In the midst of her studies, by which she was preparing herself to become a medical missionary, Miss Mary Mackenzie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Mackenzie, passed peacefully to rest, at the Medical Missions Training School, Rochester, N.Y., on Friday morning.  She had been ill but a few hours, with that treacherous disease, pneumonia, when she said to those with her that she thought she would go to sleep.  Thus easily she slipped from the lower to the higher training school.  Miss Mackenzie, who was the beloved elder sister of a family of nine children, graduated from Toronto General Hospital training school for nurses, a short time ago and was but twenty-five years old.  Four brothers and four sisters survive, Misses Elsie, Janet, Mima and Maggie at home;  Allan, New York;  William, St. Louis;  Duncan and Kenneth, of this city.  William Young, an uncle, and Allan Mackenzie brought the body from Rochester to this city for burial;  the funeral will take place to-morrow.  Miss Mackenzie was a member of Chalmers church and many friends will grieve deeply at her death.

JAMES MADDEN -  Was born in Belleville in the year 1852, and died at Chatham, Ont., Dec. 19th, 1885.  He was a brother of the late Rev. C.C. Madden, of the London Conference Methodist Church of Canada.  Bro. Madden was blessed with truly Christian parents, and during his childhood was surrounded by holy influences;  at the age of nine years he was converted at a camp meeting, held at Kingston, and from that time rejoiced in the evidence of his acceptance through the Precious Blood.  The writer became acquainted with Bro. Madden while stationed at Chatham, where he was attending high school  His thought and aspirations then were toward the Methodist ministry.  As a student he was earnest, and his Christian example produced good effect.  Through change of circumstances he was unable to pursue his studies.  He removed to the North - West, and engaged in evangelistic work.   On his return to Chatham he found the Salvation Army at work, he saw then a field for service, and joined the ranks;   his promotion was rapid.  He became staff-captain and divisional officer of the Kingston Division.  His subsequent career, including his persecution and imprisonment at Montreal, has been freely noticed in the Army papers.  Bro. Madden fell a prey to consumption and his death no doubt was hastened by hard work and exposure.  He was sick for nearly twelve months.  He bore his illness with marked patience and resignation. On being asked if Jesus was precious he replied “His presence fills the room.”  His end was peace;  without a sigh or groan he fell asleep in Jesus.  “He was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost.”  [signed] G.R.T.

Madole,

Marshall Seymour

 

After an illness of several months, Mr. M. S. Madole passed away on Wednesday morning, Sept 18th.  The end was not unexpected as he had been suffering from Artero Sclerosis for some time.  Mr. Madole had entered probably more fully into the business, political, municipal and church life of the community than any other man in Napanee.  He served successfully as Councillor and Mayor at the council board, and was at his death a member of the Board of Education.  Twice he successfully contested Lennox in the Liberal Interest, his opponent in both instances being the late T. G. Carscallen.  For many years Mr. Madole had been one of the strongest and most faithful members of Grace Methodist Church and Sunday School and an ardent supporter of every movement to increase the spiritual and material welfare of the church.  In business Mr. Madole was known all over the county and highly respected.  Among other hardware dealers he was also honoured by being elected president of their association. Besides his widow he leaves three daughters, Mrs. Reddick, Napanee, Mrs., Allen, New York, and Miss Maisie at home.  The funeral took place from his late residence Friday afternoon.  Private service was held at the home and a public service in Grace Church. –Napanee Express.

Mrs. Annabella (Anderson) Magee

Mrs. Robert Magee, daughter of James Anderson and Ann Jane McCornock was born at Fermanagh, Ireland January 2 1829 and died at the Union appointment on the Adolphustown circuit, December 18, 1887. At the age of nineteen, she was married to Robert Magee of Donegal, Ireland, July 13, 1848. They came to this country in the year 1869 and settled first in Prince Edward County, on the Bay of Quinte, where they remained one year. Then they moved to Adolphustown and in 1872 settled in the old farm at Hay Bay where after years of labor she entered into rest.

Mrs. Magee was the mother of eight children, seven sons and one daughter. One son, Samuel, died in the triumphs of the Christian faith a few years ago. I have seen many suffer much, but few so patiently, so fully resigned, calm and peaceful, waiting the call of the Master, as did Sister Magee. She spoke frequently and freely of the approaching hour. She knew it was coming and knew it was near, and yet never lost confidence in God or spoke of it without hope. She was always ready to converse on the subject of religion. Her home was a cheerful place of rest for the Methodist ministers in this country, and also in Ireland. Their house was open for services, and I have heard her tell of many seasons of refreshing she had in the meetings held in their own house in the old country.

Mrs. Magee was a Methodist of the fourth generation. It is said by one who has the record of their ancestors many years back that not one was addicted to drinking habits or using tobacco in any form, and all have been either members of or adherents to the Methodist Church.

Sister Magee lived well, and died as she lived. According to her request, her six sons bore her remains to the gravel. As her pastor was unable to attend her funeral, her former pastor, Rev. W.R. Young, preached a very comforting sermon from Matt. XXVIII 6: Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  (Rev. M.J. Bates)

Mrs. Magee was laid to rest in the U.E.L. Methodist Church Cemetery in Adolphustown. Since 925, this church has been known as the U.E.L. Memorial United Church of Adolphustown.

Bryce Magee Drowned at The Pines

A sad accident happened on Hay Bay, near the home of Mr. Andrew Magee, on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 7th, 1909, which resulted in the death by drowning, of Bryce Alton Magee, the eldest child of Mr. Joseph Magee, age 9 years past. Skating was good, and the children of the neighborhood had been enjoying a good past time during the forenoon and little Bryce, with his parents' consent, started out to enjoy his afternoon. He had place on his skates and apparently directed his course over a dangerous bar where he broke in; his screams were heard by his uncle, who hastened with a boat to the rescue, only to find that the poor little fellow had sunk to a watery death. His body was straightway recovered and born in sadness to his home, where a broken hearted mother and father, who had received the intimation earlier, received all that was left of their son, so active in life but an hour and a half before. This death has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood, who in very large numbers showed their sympathy  in every possible way. The funeral was conducted by the pastor, W.S. Boyce, at 10 a.m. on Saturday, 9th, taking for his text, "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in Heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."

Little Bryce had been trained in a religious manner and was a regular and an attentive member of the Sunday School where in the summer on Decision Day, he with many others, decided for Christ. It is no vain thing to serve the Lord. Mr. and Mrs. Magee mourn their loss, but not without hope, they have the sympathy and prayers of the entire community and many beside.

 

Sad Drowning Accident

The Pines, Jan. 11 – A very sad drowning accident happened on Thursday, January 7th, when Bryce Alton, eldest son of Joseph Magee, The Pines, a boy of nine years, after eating his dinner left his home going to Hay Bay a short distance away, to skate. After passing his Uncle Andrew’s, he skated into a crack in the ice, over a bar. His uncle heard him call, but not recognizing it as a human voice, thought it was an owl and looking around for the bird saw the little fellow disappear. He reached the spot as soon as possible, help was secured but too late and in a little more than an hour after he left his home, a bright, active boy, the lifeless body was carried in to his sorrowing mother. An impressive service was conducted at the home on Saturday by Rev. W.S. Boyce, Methodist minister, after which the body was taken to Napanee vault to await interment.

McGEE – At the Pines, on Nov. 9th, Joseph McGee, aged forty-seven years.

 

Death's messenger came with but little warning on Tuesday, November 9th to Joseph Magee, at his home, Belleview Farm, The Pines post office. Although he had not been in the best of health for some time, Mr. Magee was able to be about and attend to his ordinary duties, and on the Saturday preceding his death finished up his plowing and other fall work. He did not complain before retiring on Saturday night, but early Sunday morning he got up to attend to one of the children and was seized with a hemorrhage of the brain. He was unable to get back into bed without assistance and soon afterward lapsed into unconsciousness. Relatives and a doctor were speedily summoned, but they could do but little for him and he sank gradually until Tuesday morning, when he passed away shortly before 8 o'clock. In the opinion of the family doctor and his friends, the unfortunate man's death was hastened by an incident which happened a few days before he was taken ill. His team ran away from the front of the house as he was preparing to drive into Napanee and he had a long chase after the horses. The excitement caused his nose to bleed very freely, and from that time on he was troubled with nose bleeds. Fretting over the death of his eldest son, Brice, who was drowned in Hay Bay while skating last winter, is also thought to have hastened the end, Mr. Magee not having enjoyed the best of health since that unfortunate occurrence.

The late Joseph Magee was a member of one of the oldest and best known families in Lennox County, and being of a genial disposition and generous almost to a fault, was highly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was born in Ireland 49 years ago, but when a mere lad came to Canada with his father, the late Robert Magee, who passed away two years ago. The family first located near Picton, but very shortly afterward took up land at The Pines and has resided there ever since. In politics deceased was a staunch Liberal, while in religion he was prominently identified with the Methodist church. He was also a member of the Orange Order, and one of the most public spirited residents of the neighborhood in which he spent the greater portion of his life. A widow and three small children survive him and they have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.

The funeral took place on Thursday of last week, and was one of the largest seen in Lennox County in many years, friends driving many miles to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of deceased. Among the mourners were relatives and friends from Toronto, Hamilton, Picton, Napanee, Wolfe Island, Bath, Kingston and other places. An impressive funeral service was conducted at the house by the Methodist minister, after which the remains were taken to Napanee and place in the vault. Later on they will be transferred to the family burial ground and placed beside those of the father and son of deceased. The pall bearers were five brothers, William, Andrew, John and Alex., all of the Pines, Robert, of Toronto, and a brother-in-law, James Dickson, of Sillsville.

 

Very sad indeed was the death of Joseph McGee, “The Pines” on Tuesday morning, after but a few days illness. Deceased took ill on Saturday night and when a doctor was summoned pronounced the trouble hemorrhage of the brain. He was forty-nine years of age and leaves a wife and three small children. About ten months ago the eldest son was drowned. Deceased was one of a family of six brothers, all residents of Fredericksburgh. The funeral took place this afternoon.

Margaret Elizabeth

(nee Lawson)

 

THE LATE MRS. JOHN MAGEE - Margaret Elizabeth Lawson, beloved wife of John Magee, passed away at her home in South Fredericksburgh on March the 29th . The daughter of the late James Lawson and his wife, Mary Ann Melville, Mrs. Magee was born on a farm adjoining the one on which she spent her married life. In her early childhood her parents moved to Petrolia where her father was in business for some years until their return to Napanee. She was married to John Magee on September 3rd 1889, theirs being the first marriage in the U.E. L. Church at Dorland.

Mrs. Magee leaves to mourn her loss, one sister, Mrs. D. S. Cowan, of Petrolia; an aunt, Mrs. R. J. McKee of Los Angeles; her husband, one son, Bert, of Sillsville, and six daughters, the Misses Hattie and Margaret, at home, Mrs. H. M. Hough of Sillsville; Mrs. Floyd Vannest, of Hawley, Mrs. F. B. Wright and Mrs. William Henwood of Conway.

Mrs. Magee was much respected and beloved in the community. She was a woman of ready wit and youthful spirit, which kept her young in heart and mind to the last. Due to the proximity of the Union Church the ministers, both Anglican and Methodist, were the frequent recipients of her broad-minded hospitality. She was a woman of deep religious convictions and strove to impress them upon her family. Her passing has left a great gap in the family circle.

The funeral service was held in the U.E.L. Church, Dorland, from which she was carried to the cemetery, and laid to rest beside her father.

 

At Adolphustown, Wednesday, March 29th, 1939, Mrs. John Magee, in her 77th year.

 

MRS. JOHN MAGEE

SILLSVILLE – After an illness of less than two weeks, Mrs. John Magee passed peacefully away at her home recently. Mrs. Magee, whose maiden name was Margaret Elizabeth Lawson, was the eldest daughter of the late James Lawson and Mary Ann Melville, and was born in Adolphustown 76 years ago. During her childhood the family moved to Petrolia, where her father was engaged in the oil business for a number of years, later returning to this neighborhood.

On September 3, 1889, she was united in marriage to John Magee in the U.E.L. Methodist Church, and since then had lived on the same farm. Besides her sorrowing husband, she is survived by one son, R. J. Magee, and six daughters, Mrs. Harold Hough (Marion), Mrs. F.B. Wright (Jessie), Mrs. Floyd Vannest (Edna), Mrs. W.R. Henwood (Elsie), and Miss Hattie and Miss Margaret at home, also twenty grandchildren and one sister (Hattie), Mrs. D.S. Cowan, Petrolia, and one niece, Mrs. William Abrahart, Sarnia, and one aunt, Mrs. Rebecca MacKee, of Los Angeles, Calif. Two brothers, John and James, and one sister, Ida, predeceased her.

While not enjoying the best of health for some years, she had been as well as usual all winter, and when the W.M.S. of which she was a life member, met in her home on March 1, she led the devotional part of the meeting. When she first contracted the prevailing epidemic, pneumonia developed and proved fatal, in spite of all that medical attention and loving care could do.

The funeral services were conducted by her minister, Rev. G.A. Puttenham, B.A., B.D. After a short service at the house the cortege proceeded to the U.E.L. United Church, where Mr. Puttenham gave a comforting message. Interment was made in the cemetery adjoining. The bearers were her son, her four sons-in-law, and her eldest grandson, Douglas Magee.

MAGEE – At South Fredericksburgh, 20th Nov., Robert Magee, aged eighty-four years.

 

PAST THREE SCORE AND TEN - Mr. Robert Magee was born in the County of Donegal, Ireland, in the year 1823, and died at The Pines, South Fredericksburgh, on November 20th, 1907, having reached the ripe age of 84 years, 9 months and 6 days. The funeral was held in the Union church, where in spite of the unfavorable condition of the roads, and other obstacles, a large number of neighbors and friends gathered to pay their respect to all that was mortal of the deceased. Six sons, viz., Robert, of Toronto; William, John, Andrew, Alexander and Joseph, all of The Pines, acting as pall bearers, and one daughter, Mrs. J. Dickson, Hayburn, mourn the loss of a kind-hearted and affectionate father. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. W. S. Boyce, after which the body was placed in the vault at Napanee, to be interred at a later date in the Methodist cemetery, Adolphustown. The subject of this obituary was a good citizen, highly respected, in religion a Methodist; in his Christian life he was devoted to his Master, and the church of his choice. He was one of the principal men who engaged in the erection of the Union church, and was one of the chief supporters of God's cause in this community. A large number of friends sympathize with the sons and daughter and relatives of the deceased, believing however, that their loss was his gain.

 

MAGEE - Robert Magee was born in Donegal, Ireland, 1823, and died at “The Pines,” South Fredericksburgh, November 20, 1907, at the advanced age of eighty-four years, nine months, and six days.  The funeral was held at the Union Church, and was largely attended.  The body, which was laid in Napanee vault, will be buried in the U.E.L. Methodist cemetery at Adolphustown.  Bro. Magee was a life-long Methodist, his early home in Ireland being a regular place for worship.  He was highly respected by all, and was a man of pure life and deep piety, devoted to the church of his choice, and a good supporter of it.  He was alive to every good work.  He leaves behind him a family of six sons and one daughter to mourn his loss.  We believe that “He was faithful unto death,” as he longed for his Master’s coming to adorn him with “a crown of life.”  The sorrowing friends have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.    W.S. Boyce

 

ROBERT MAGEE - The subject of this memoir was born in Donnegal, Ireland, Feb. 14th, 1823. In 1848 he married Annabella Anderson, with whom he lied happily, till she was called to the home above, in Dec. 1887. Their home was consecrated to the worship of God, regular preaching service being conducted in it almost from the time of their marriage till their removal to Canada in 1869. On their arrival here they promptly connected themselves with the church of their choice viz Methodist and many Methodist ministers will remember with pleasure the genial welcome they always received at the Magee home. He was a willing worker, and frequently during his illness expressed regret that he was no longer able to serve the church. In 1871 he settled on the farm on the shore of Hay Bay, South Fredericksburgh, where he remained till his death Nov. 20th, 1907. His last days were spent with his youngest son, Alex where all that tender hands could do to relieve his suffering was done. His last words to his daughter-in-law were "God Bless You." They raised a family of seven sons and one daughter. Samuel passed to the beautiful home twenty-seven years ago. The remaining six sons, William, Robert, Andrew, John, Joseph, and Alexander, bore all that was mortal of their father to his last resting place. The daughter is Mrs. James Dickson, of Hayburn. Relatives came from Hamilton, Toronto, Picton and Milford to pay their tribute of respect to the departed. We cannot mourn for him, he was anxious to pass away and be at rest. The funeral was in Union Church, Rev. W.S. Boyce officiating with true brotherly sympathy.

Ella & Harry

 

Obituary - The fatal diphtheria has made sad havoc in the home of Mr. Ezra A. Mallory, of Adolphustown.  Ella the youngest child, a bright and beautiful girl, in the 13th year of her age, fell a victim to its power on the 18th Nov., 1889.  During her brief illness everything that the utmost love and tenderness could suggest was done to save her life, but in vain. She was very sweetly resigned to the blessed Saviour's will, and died in the triumphs of a child's confiding faith.

On the evening of the day of little Ella's funeral, Harry, the youngest boy, - a fine, promising young fellow, in the 17th year of his age, was seized with the fatal malady;  and while the promptest measures were adopted, he sank rapidly, and on the 28th Nov. was laid to rest in the Methodist burying ground, by the side of his sister whom he loved so well.

If there be any consolation in religion in the hours of our deepest anguish, it must surely be a comfort to the bereft parents and friends to know that the dear children had so recently knelt side by side at the Saviour's feet for salvation, and through the simple faith of childhood had obtained the brightest assurance of their acceptance with God.  In his last moments Harry gave the clearest evidence of the hope of eternal life, and talked very sweetly of the reunion with his darling sister in the beautiful mansions of light.  They were lovely in life, and in death undivided.

For ever with the Lord, amen, so let it be.     H. Ash.

Annie

(nee Gleason)

 

Mrs. John Manion -

Death once again has caused a widespread sorrow throughout this community, on February 9th last, also around her native country where she was born, in the person of Mrs. John Manion, formerly Miss Annie Gleason.  She was of a loveable disposition, a person of rare Christian virtues, whose life was an adornment, which dignified the sacred position of a wife and mother, a holy life studded thick and fair with earthly deeds.  She was a young woman, whose future life seemed to be foreshadowed with every happiness, as her home seemed to always have a ray of bright sunshine within, no matter how dark it seemed outside.  She was great of soul with a keen intelligence, a generous heart, a loyal and energetic disposition, with an unshakable will, she being the kind of a mother we all love to admire.

Her kindness and strength of character endeared her not only to her family, but also to the many friends whom she always treated in a cordial manner. Her company was always agreeable and attractive, and many were the tributes heard to her womanly character and staunch faith;  also messages of grief and regret heard on all sides.  So we all send prayerful sympathy to her dear family, especially her mother and sisters and poor dear little children, who have ever been the object of her tender care and attention.  So may her Blessed Mother console these in her tender and loving way, until time gives pleasure to the love that they  all will enjoy together for all eternity.

The kindness of the neighbours is to be remembered since her death offering a helping hand in different ways.  the same was with herself, no sacrifice was too great for her to show her good will in giving a helping hand to any one who stood in need of it.

Her funeral took place on Tuesday to St. Patrick’s Church, where a solemn High Mass was sung by her Priest Father McDonald, who administered the last rites of her Church to her on her dying bed.  The many spiritual offerings, numbering sixty-seven, bore testimony of the esteem in which the deceased was held.

MANION - At Richmond, on Saturday, February 9th, 1929, Annie Manion, aged 42 years and 8 months.

 

OBITUARY - Miss Ida May Manion -

Many hearts were saddened and shocked on Monday morning, July 10th, when word was received that Ida Manion had passed peacefully away to the Great Beyond, at her beautiful home, near Selby, after a lingering illness, although for several years she had been failing in health, the last two months being very trying.  Despite all that loving hands and medical skill could do to prolong her earthly flight, she passed away with a perfect resignation to God’s will.  Her sufferings were very intense by times, but she bore them with great patience and cheerfulness with a courage seldom exceeded.

It seems so hard to see a sweet young life like Ida’s cut off in the prime.  It seems so strange about a month ago her friends were summoned to her bedside, fearing the end was near, but with wonderful recuperative power she rallied again, and seemed much better in health, but a sudden change later on seemed to follow, and terminated in her death.  She was a member of the League of the Sacred Heart and Altar Society.  She was also a member of the Women’s League, in which she was always much interested.  She was very fond of music and flowers, and enjoyed the association of her friends.

The funeral took place Wednesday morning to St. Patrick’s Church, Napanee, where a solemn requiem mass was sung by Reverend Father O’Connor for the repose of her soul.  Her beautiful casket had a number of religious offerings from her friends.   The pall-bearers were Messrs. Frank Denison, Shirley Lewis, Jack Donovan, John Manion, Tom Manion and Mr. Bradshaw.

Reginald Mapp’s Body Recovered -

NAPANEE,  June 21 - The body of Reginald map, who lost his life in the Napanee River on Thursday morning was recovered shortly after three o’clock in the afternoon, the recovery being mad by the use of a seine.  From twenty to twenty-five men were working when the body was recovered.  It was down to a depth of over twenty feet.  The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of VanLuven and Wartman.  No inquest will be held.

Mapp, a young Englishman, aged about 23 years, was drowned in the Napanee River near Woodcock’s school-house, about five miles west of here, yesterday morning.

The young man, who formerly worked for several farms in the district, had been employed with the stone-crusher.  A boat, which had been tied to the dock, drifted out into the river and the young man threw off his coat and started to swim out. He had gone a short distance when he sank from sight.  Efforts were made to rescue him, but they proved to no avail.

KILLED IN ACTION - PTE. R. M. MARLIN -

Pte. Richie M. Marlin was born in Hungerford, Ont., February 16th, 1897, and died on the field of France, April 9th, 1917.  Pte. Marlin was of a kind and loving disposition, always willing to lend a helping hand, and was well liked by young and old of the neighborhood in which he lived.  Richie was one of the brave boys who thought that liberty and freedom were better than life under Prussian rule.  He therefore voluntarily left his father’s home and went to a foreign land to do his bit for King and Country.  A memorial service was held on Sunday, June 24th, in Ebenezer Church.  The church was crowded with sympathizing friends, and the address was given by his Pastor, Rev. J. F. Everson, and was full of sympathy and patriotism.  It was a masterly address from the text, Matthew 10:39, “He that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” 

He threw his living breast to stem the German tide,

This volunteer from Canada he as veteran tried.

He met the boast of William’s host,

He met them hand to hand,

This volunteer from Canada,

This boy of our land.

When men come back from war’s grim track,

And silent is the gun;

I’ll look with pride on him that died,

And say he was my son.

MARY A. MERRETT -  The beloved wife of Israel Marshall, died in the Lord August 20th, 1885, at their residence, Caistor township, aged forty years five months and twelve days.  Our sister was married to him that now mourns his loss for nineteen years.   The gap that death has made is great, as there are eight of an offspring left behind, and a part of whom are very tender in days and years, and need much care.  The departed sister was brought to God at the early age of twelve years, and has been a member of the Church ever since.  In early life the servants of God made their home at her father’s house.  And it was no doubt a source of comfort to her  to remember the fervent prayers that were offered for her in early life by the missionaries that scattered the Gospel truths through this part of the work.  Her aged father passed on before her some five years, and will greet her on the other shore.  For some ten years our departed sister has been in an uncertain state of health, and been thus reminded that her end was somewhat nigh.  Rev. Mr. Kennedy visited and prayed with her, and gave testimony at the funeral of her bright prospects for the land of the holy.  Though much desired, her useful life could not be spared.  Her remains are deposited in the graveyard at Ker Church; but her spirit is with Christ.  The funeral was large, and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Duff and Rev. Mr. Kennedy.  The pastor discoursed from the words, “All flesh is as grass.”  Many tokens were shown by those present of their deep respect that they had for Sister Marshall.  May her family and neighbors meet her in heaven, when our toils are over.

ROBERT MARTIN -

Robert Martin of Camden, born in the village of Newburg in the early fifties, died at his residence at the age of 85.  Having contracted pneumonia he lay ill for ten days and failed to respond to the treatment afforded him.  All of his family were at his bedside when the end came.  The deceased, whose father died when he was quite young, was left the sole support of a widowed mother and five sisters, only one of whom, a sister, Mrs. Yerex of Portland, Oregon, survives him.

Later in life he married Agnes E. Weese, who predeceased him almost three years ago.  Of the union three sons and two daughters were born, all of whom survive him, Harry C. and Dr. R. D. of Niagara Falls, N.Y., Reginald of Winnipeg, Miss Hazel at home and Mrs. Harold Nugent of Wesley.

The deceased was a successful farmer, having developed and maintained one of the best farms in the township.  His judgement was often sought relative to crop and soil conditions, of which he had made a study.  His home was an open house to anyone who cared to come under his roof.  He was a strong supporter of the Conservative Party. In his passing the community loses a familiar figure with a fund of ready Irish wit.

Rev. E. F. Swayne conducted a very impressive service at Wesley United Church and later at Camden East cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest beside those of this wife, sister and father.

After an illness extending over a period of several months, there passed away on Monday one of the best known and highly esteemed residents of Napanee, in the person of Ashton McCabe at the age of 72 years.

For the past number of years, Mr. McCabe had not been in the best of health and retired from a farm several years ago, coming to Napanee. Since April he had been confined to his bed and for the past few weeks his condition had been critical.

McCaul,

John Potter

 

The Late John P. McCaul

John Potter McCaul, one of Napanee's oldest residents, died on Saturday, December 7th, at his home, Centre Street, after a short illness. The late Mr. McCaul, who was 90 years of age on November 10th, had been quite active until a short time before his death. A few years ago he fell and broke his hip, but recovered sufficiently to continue to care for quite a large garden. Until his retirement from active work about sixteen years ago, when with his late wife and his daughter, Miss Myrtle McCaul, he came to Napanee to reside, Mr. McCaul had followed the vocation of farming.

He was a son of the late William McCaul and was born in the Township of Adolphustown. When a young boy he moved with his parents to Richmond Township, and with the exception of about six years, spent on a farm near London, Ont., nearly all his life had been spent in Richmond, near Napanee. Mr. McCaul was a successful farmer and for many years he and Mrs. McCaul brought produce to the Napanee market. AS a result they became well known to a large number of town and country people and were very highly respected by all who knew them.

For several years Mr. and Mrs. McCaul were members of St. Andrew's Church until it was disbanded and Mr. McCaul recently was an adherent of Grace United Church.

His wife, formerly Ellen Norris, died in March, 1937, and Mr. McCaul leaves three daughters, Mrs. Frank Richmond, Richmond Township, Mrs. John Amey, Moscow, and miss Myrtle at home. His oldest daughter, Mrs. Frank Hawley, died 28 years ago. He also leaves four grandchildren, Mac Hawley, Beverly Richmond, John and Jean Amey and one great-grandchild, Barbara Ann Hawley.

His funeral was conducted at his late residence on Tuesday afternoon, by Rev. C.D. McLellan, Minister of Grace United church and interment followed in Riverview Cemetery.

DISTRICT NEWS – On Wednesday of last week, Mr. James McDonald, Jr., of Tamworth, while engaged on a drive of logs on Salmon river, about two miles from Arden, lost his life while assisting in breaking a “jam.”  He slipped off the log he was standing upon, and, when he came to the surface was struck by another log and knocked under the jam.  His body was recovered in about an hour.

 

On Wednesday afternoon the 7th inst., the people of this place and its vicinity were greatly shocked by the sad news that Jimmy (James) Macdonald was killed about noon that day.  Shortly the mournful tale was proved to be true, when by friends and relatives the body was brought home.  Sorrow filled the hearts of all who knew Jimmy, when the news of his untimely death was announced.  This young man was within a few days to be 17.  He had his growth young, and was employed as one of the river drivers in the Rathbun firm.  This accident, it is said, happened near Cross Lake by falling into the stream, and struck senseless by one of the logs, so that he sank and drowned.  Being young and ambitious, probably he exposed himself more than was needed.  His life gave a fair prospect of manhood, but in the spring time of that life suddenly it was taken away.  On Thursday afternoon a large number of friends and connections assembled at the house for the funeral to pay their last respects to the departed.  The services were conducted by J. H. Jones at Beaver lake school house, text Luke xii, 40, after which the remains of the departed one were laid in Thompson’s cemetery near Beaver lake.

Mrs. Henrietta McDowall Has Passed Away

In the death of Mrs. Henrietta McDowall, which occurred at her residence, Princess street on Thursday afternoon, one of Kingston’s oldest residents has passed into the silent beyond. The late Mrs. McDowall was born in Coteau Du Lac in 1817 and was of good U.E. Loyalist stock, her forbears having accompanied Sir William Johnston, at the time of the revolution. Her grandfather, fighting Capt. Hugh Macdonnell, led the attack against Ogdensburg in 1812 and her father, who was lieutenant under Macdonnell, was severely wounded in that attack. She was cousin of Sir Roderick Cameron and niece of Archibald Macdonnell, then collector of customs at this port, and married James A. McDowall, who was an active business man in this city for many years. Mrs. McDowall was one of the original members of Chalmers church, only one of whom now survives.

Of a large family, Mrs. McDowall is survived by Miss McDowall and Mrs. N.C. Polson, of this city, besides numerous grandchildren.

Death of J.A. McDowall

Came of an Interesting Family - An Old Queen's Man

The community will learn with great regret of the death of James A. McDowall, barrister, Sarnia, which occurred on Wednesday morning at his mother's residence in this city. He had lived in Sarnia many years, where he had practiced his profession. Up to a year ago he enjoyed excellent health, but about that time symptoms of the malady which caused his death began to show themselves. During the fall and early winter he grew worse, and about two weeks ago, his brother, Robert McDowall, went to Sarnia and brought him to his mother's. After a few days rest among his friends, he appeared to revive somewhat, but soon he began to sink, and yesterday the end came.

Mr. McDowall graduated at Queen's in 1867, and after graduation entered on the study of law in the office of Campbell, Mowat & Macdonnell. He was also a graduate of the old Kingston military school. During his college and law courses he was one of a group of young men who took special interest in the old alma mater society, when that body was more of a debating and literary temper than at the present. That was a feature of the old college days, a profitable one; and none enjoyed the meetings more than the late Mr. McDowall. After graduating in law he began practise in Sarnia, where he was much esteemed as  a citizen. He was a man of pure spirit, and scrupulously honorable in his professional relations. Though somewhat reticent of speech, yet he was a very interesting man in conversation, because of his wide reading, cultured taste and judgment. He came of an interesting line. His grandfather was Rev. Robert McDowall, the first Presbyterian minister in central Canada, and the organizer of St. Andrew's church, of this city. The Memorial church at Fredericksburgh was built in honor of his name and memory.

The late Mr. McDowall was connected with St. Andrew's church, Sarnia, and the last interview between Dr. Tomson, the pastor, and himself, as they spoke of the calm, strong assurance in which the christian lives and dies, was uncommonly touching, and when the end drew near he was not afraid. His remains will be buried with his departed kindred in the family burying plot at Fredericksburgh Memorial church. Mrs. N.C. Polson, of this city is a sister of the late Mr. McDowall. Sincere sympathy is extended to his venerable mother and the other bereaved relatives.

Dr. J. L. McDowall, Noted Sportsman, Buried in Kingston.

Remembered by many in Ottawa as Prominent Football and Hockey Star in Early Nineties.

The funeral took place at Kingston today of Dr. John L. McDowall of Perth Amboy, N.J. He died there on Monday.  He earned distinction as an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist.  He was 65.

Dr. McDowall will be remembered by many in Ottawa as an outstanding athlete. He was a member of the old Granite football team of Kingston and Queen's University football team, and played often in Ottawa in the early 1900's against the old Ottawa College and Rough Rider teams.  He played on the famous all-Canadian football team at Buffalo in 1900.

He was also a fine hockey player and was a member of the old Frontenac and Queen's University hockey teams, starring along with Hon. Dr. R.J. Manion, with whom he maintained a close friendship.  Later his hobbies were deep sea fishing and big game hunting.  After graduation from Queen's he was an intern at the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital, following which he was connected with the Presbyterian Hospital at New York. He carried out many special works for the Washington government.  For many years he was in private practice. 

Dr. McDowall was a son of the late Robert J. McDowall of Kingston and a great grandson of the Rev. Robert J. McDowall, a United Empire Loyalist in 1798, and the pioneer Church of Scotland minister in Kingston, his parish at that time extending from Kingston to Queenston.

He leaves to mourn his loss two sisters and one brother:  Mrs. W. L. McFarland, Toronto;  Mrs. K. Johnston, Kingston, and Robert J. McDowall, Ottawa;  also three nephews and three nieces:  Lieut. J. W. McDowall, Royal Canadian Navy;  Robert McDowall, R.C.S.F., in Scotland;  J. Robertson, Belleville, Ont.;  Mrs. D. Ross, Belleville;  Mrs. Gordon Bolton, Toronto;  Mrs. Mary McFarland, England.

McDowall,

Rev. Robert

 

At his residence in Fredericksburgh on 3rd  inst., the Rev. Robert McDowall, aged 73.

 

The Rev. Robert McDowall, who died on August 3, was born in 1768 in Saratoga N.Y. of Scotch parents. His father, having been a zealous loyalist, was detained in prison by the Revolutionary party during the war, and lost all his property which appears to have been valuable. He commenced his studies, first at Grammar School after leaving which he went to Williams College in Massachusetts, and completed his studies under the late Rev. Mr. Romeyn, Prof. of Theology at Schenectady, under the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church. At the request of those settlers belonging to that church who, after the American Revolution, emigrated to Canada, he was ordained by the Classis or Presbytery of Albany, and appointed to labour amongst them as a Missionary, coming to Canada in 1798 to the neighbourhood of the Bay of Quinte.

 

MCDOWELL, Rev. Robert, died at his residence, Fredericksburgh, Aug 2 1841, age 73.

 

DIED - At his residence in Fredericksburgh, last evening the Reverend Robert Macdowell, aged 73, much regretted and universally esteemed.  His numerous friends and acquaintances are respectfully informed that his funeral will take place on Friday next the 6th inst., at 2:00 p.m.

Died Far Away – Robert J. McDowall Has Passed to Rest

Robert J. McDowall died in Oakland, California, at one o’clock Monday morning. This sad intelligence came by telegram Monday noon to his son, Dr. John L. McDowall, and was a great shock to the family, for it was not thought that Mr. McDowall was in any immediate danger. Stricken down a few months ago by an almost incurable disease, Mr. McDowall, when he had sufficiently recovered to travel, was ordered south in the hope that a year spent in a warmer climate would place him on the road to health. On December 5th, he and Mrs. McDowall left Kingston, en route for Oakland, California, where they stayed with Dr. Price, a Canadian friend, formerly of this district. On Friday a telegram to Dr. McDowall told of his father’s dangerous condition, and advised him to leave for the south. A later message said that Mr. McDowall was much better and for the doctor not to leave. The followed the sad news of his passing away.

The late Mr. McDowall was a son of R.J. McDowall, a former furrier and a grandson of Rev. John McDowall, the pioneer Presbyterian clergyman of Central Ontario, to whom a memorial church was dedicated several years ago at Adolphustown. He was in the sixtieth year of his age, and was a native of Kingston, residing here all his life, with the exception of a few years. For the past twenty-five years, Mr. McDowall was in the music business, and built up an extensive district trade, having branch stores in Kingston and in Cape Vincent, N.Y. H was a great fraternal society man, in fat it is doubtful if there is another in Eastern Ontario so widely connected in that regard. In the Sons of Scotland he was district deputy grand chief; he was treasurer of the Kingston Circle, No. 105, Canadian Home Circle, and a member of the Oddfellows, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Canadian Order of Chosen Friends, Royal Arcanum, Masonic Order, and St. Andrew’s Society.

Deceased married Miss Lazier, of Belleville, who survives, with three daughters and two sons: Mrs. McFarland, Markdale, Ont.; Mrs. J.J. Roberson, Kingston; Elda, Dr. John L. and Robert J. at home. Deceased’s mother is also living in Kingston. His only sister is Mrs. N.C. Polson, University Avenue.

The late Mr. McDowall was for many years a member of Chalmers’ church, and latterly of St. Andrew’s. In politics he was a liberal. For many years, Mr. McDowall was connected with the Kingston public library, of which board he was several times president. He was a well-read man, and a polished after-dinner speaker.

Dr. McDowall will go to Chicago to meet his mother and the mains. The funeral will likely take place on Saturday or Monday next.

McGill, who was born in the township, near Centreville, on February 12th, 1848, and with the exception of a few short visits to other points, spent all his life therein.  He was one of a family of ten children of the late Thomas McGill and his wife, Mary King,  and was carefully trained in early life in those virtues that go to make useful citizens.  

On November 5th, 1875, he was united in marriage with Annie Copeland.  On his farm he worked faithfully and with method and perseverance succeeded in building up a valuable property.  In the church he was ever a reverent worshipper and attended faithfully to the work of the various offices given him.  Of a quiet and somewhat reserved disposition he never sought public office, but his counsel was often of worth to those filling office.  His home was one in which godly influence was ever exerted for the good of this family and friends.  For nearly forty years, he was treasurer of L. O. L. No 756 and for many years a member of the John W. Bell Black Preceptory No. 725 

The funeral service of Saturday last, which were attended  by a large number of friends and relatives were held in the home and  the Methodist Church and were conducted by his Pastor, Rev. M. W. Leigh, B. A., and the officers of the lodges of which he was a member.  The pall-bearers were all Orangemen, as follows,  Robert Wilson, Robert Brown, Joseph Tate, Solomon  Clancy, Jacob Doupe and John W. Reid.  To cherish the memory of his useful and godly life, there remain in addition to his wife, two sons, Thomas E. and Geo. A., both of Centreville;  four daughters, Mrs. F. C. Gerow, Mrs. Fred Milligan, both of Centreville;  Mrs. J. Toshack, of Drumheller Alta., and Mrs. J. Paxton of Regina;  two brothers, Wesley and Robert and a large circle of acquaintances.

In Memoriam – The Late Mrs. McHenry, Napanee

The Napanee Beaver gives a sketch of the Mrs. McHenry, who died of a broken heart consequent upon the death of her favorite son. The deceased was a daughter of Archibald and Catherine Campbell and was born in Adolphustown on March 29th, 1812.

She married Alexander McHenry at Napanee about the year 1839. Mr. McHenry was for a time engaged in the lumber business on the Ottawa, but finally settled in Napanee and devoted himself to the dry goods business, in which he continued until failing health compelled him to retire. He died in the year 1847, leaving three small children to the care of his wife. The succeeding years of her widowhood were a long series of devotion to her children. Her aim was to secure their eternal welfare and to give them a substantial education and it was a great consolation that she succeeded so well. She was herself converted when about sixteen years of age and from that time forward was a member of the Methodist church and an earnest, consistent christian. The brisk cottage in which she resided, on the corner of Centre and Mill streets, was erected by her husband nearly fifty years ago and she lived the continually until her death. It was either the first of second brick house erected in Napanee.

Weary at last of the long day's toll, She has laid life's burdens down to rest in the land of sorrows free, the land of the soul's renown.

She has learned the secret eternal, That death's but an open door

That swings to let heaven's glory through

As we drift to that better shore.

THE LATE MRS. McINTYRE -  On Monday evening, shortly after six o’clock, Mrs. John McIntyre, Sydenham street, entered into rest.  Her death was not unexpected for her illness had extended over a year, though she had somewhat recovered after an interval.  Part of December and January she spent at Saranac Lake N.Y. with her daughter, Mrs. Bruce Carruthers, but was unimproved.  Her last illness extended over several weeks, and no hope was held out for recovery.  The late Mrs. McIntyre’s maiden name was Harriet Wrigley, and she was born at Adolphustown.  She was married twice, her first husband being the late James Macpherson,  crown lands’ agent here.  In 1876, she was married to Mr. McIntyre, who survives.  Mrs. Carruthers was her only child.  Mrs. McIntyre was very much beloved by a wide circle of friends, who will mourn the loss of one who had always been one of the city’s social leaders, and a prominent figure in church and philanthropic work.  She was a devout member of St. Andrew’s, but was ever ready to assist in the furtherance of any good work beyond the confines of her own church.  Mrs. McIntyre was a rare combination of gentleness and strength, full of tact and wise judgment, always sympathetic, and her passing from our midst has left a void in Kingston.  The funeral service will be held at 2.30 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday at the family residence, Sydenham street.

JAMES ROBERT McKIBBON -

Son of John McKibbon, was born in Packenham, Ontario, December 21st, 1874. In 1878 the family came to Manitoba, and settled in Meadow Lea.  In 1884 he became the subject of converting grace, under the ministry of Rev. J. H. Rattan, and ever after presented such a beautiful Christian life as demonstrated his union with Christ the Vine.  After a long and painful illness, which lasted over a year, and was borne with the patience of an aged saint, he sweetly and triumphantly entered into the heavenly rest, on the 6th of September, 1886.  His last utterance was “Blessed Jesus, take me home speedily if it is thy will.”  Thank God, our people still die well.  On the 8th his body was borne to its last resting place by a large and deeply affected concourse of people, where we laid him to rest until the Master calls him forth robed in resurrection grandeur.  May God console the parents, and prepare them to meet him on high.

Mr. J.N. McKim, aged 78 years, died on Friday afternoon last. Mr. McKim, was, up to a little over a week ago, able to be up around, and despite his years, walked with a firmness and erectness that might well be copied by many young men. On February 22nd, Mr. McKim was seized with neuralgia of the heart, and for a number of days he suffered severely, until death relieved him. Mr. McKim was a man of fine physique, being over 6 feet in height, and was one of a family of five brothers, all fine men, the sons of the late John and Lydia McKim, of Switzerville, who were of the old U.E.L. stock.

The deceased was married to Miss Jane Shibley, daughter of John Shibley, a well-known resident of Portland township, who, with the following children survive: - Anson and Nelson, of Montreal, the well-known advertising agents; Walter Palmer, Manitoba; Mrs. George Shorey, North Fredericksburgh; Mrs. James Rose, North Dakota; Mrs. George Rose, of Manitoba; Mrs. (Dr.) Graham, of Deloraine; and Mrs. A.R. Boyes, of Dawson city, Yukon.

Mr. McKim was a class leader in the Eastern Methodist Church and in politics a Liberal.

The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to their family in their sad bereavement, in which THE STAR joins.

The funeral, which was one of the largest seen in Napanee for a long time, took place at 2.30 on Sunday afternoon at the Eastern Methodist church.

OBITUARY - DR. R. V. McLAUGHLIN -

With the death on Tuesday, December 4th, of Dr. Ross V. McLaughlin, Napanee lost a skilled dentist, who in the 27 years he had practised in Napanee had built up a large practise, and will be greatly missed by his many patients and friends.

Dr. McLaughlin was born just 53 years ago at Athens, Ontario, and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. McLaughlin.  He attended school at Athens and graduated from the Ontario College of Dentistry in Toronto, in 1917.  All his professional life was spent in Napanee.

He was married twice and was predeceased by his first wife Margaret McMillan, leaving one daughter, Floy, in 1918.  He later married Miss Tena Richardson, of Napanee, who died shortly after, leaving one son, Richard.  He was also predeceased by one brother, Roy McLaughlin, of Winnipeg and by a sister, Mrs. Walter Barker.  He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Herbert Gaulin and a son, Richard, both of Napanee and by a brother, Dr. K. E. McLaughlin, Athens, and a sister, Mrs. C. L. Gordon, of Montreal.

His funeral was conducted at the Tierney Funeral Home on Friday morning, by Rev. C. D. McLellan and interment followed at Athens.

Universal sorrow is expressed on all sides in the irreparable loss which Dr. Ross V. McLaughlin has sustained in the death of his wife, which took place at the Kingston General Hospital on Thursday evening. Deceased was taken to the hospital last week and word was received on Thursday afternoon conveying the good tidings that her condition was improving nicely. Her sudden death in the evening was a severe shock to her many friends here.

The late Mrs. McLaughlin, who, before her marriage a little over a year ago, was Miss Tena Richardson, daughter of Mr. R. and the late Mrs. Richardson, South Napanee, was one of the most popular young ladies in Napanee For a number of years prior to her marriage she was a faithful worker in the many departments of Grace Church, particularly the Young People’s Society, the Mission Circle and the Mission Band. She was also a faithful member of the choir, always being in her accustomed place on the Sabbath day.

Since her marriage she still maintained her active interest in several departments of the young people’s work and her sudden passing has cast a gloom over the community.

Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved husband who with a motherless child two days old are left to mourn the loss of one whose personality captivated everyone who knew her. The remains were brought to Napanee, the funeral taking place today from her late residence, John Street, to Riverview cemetery.

Mr. Wm. McLaughlin, well known among Napanee’s younger citizens, passed away at his home on John St., on Saturday morning.  Mr. McLaughlin has been ailing since the New Year from pernicious anaemia, so that there was no hope for his recovery from the first.  Gradually growing weaker as the disease progressed, he finally succumbed on Saturday.

Mr. McLaughlin was the son of the late Ephraim McLaughlin, who predeceased him by about a year, and Mrs. McLaughlin, the ticket agent for the C.P.R. in Napanee.  Mr. McLaughlin at the time of his death was employed as Express Agent at the station.

He was just in the prime of life and had all along been a keen athlete and intensely interested in the athletics of the town and vicinity.  At the time of his death he was the President of the town Hockey Club.  He was as well a member and active worker of the Oddfellows organization, to which he devoted a good deal of his time.

There survives him, his wife (formerly Miss Grace Oliver), Napanee, his mother and two sisters.

The funeral was held from his late home on Monday afternoon.  The service at the house was of a private character.  The Oddfellows and the Hockey Club in uniform, accompanied the body to St. Andrew’s Church, where a public service was held.  Mr. Caldwell and Mrs. Valkman sang “Jesus Lover of My Soul” as a duet.  The hymns were the same as were sung at his father’s funeral a year ago.  Mr. Wilson spoke of Mr. McLaughlin’s life and athletic activities, and spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing wife and family.

After the Church service the Oddfellows conducted their funeral rites, and the procession re-formed and proceeded to Riverview cemetery, where interment was made.

The bearers were Wm. Galt, Wm. Hunter, W. S. Wilson, A. Kimmerly, Limbert Graham and Fred Knapp.

The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved, particularly his wife to whom Mr. McLaughlin had been married a little more than a year.

MEHETABELL CARTER -  Was born in Cape Breton, in 1807, her parents having come over from the State of Massachusetts, as they were U.E. Loyalists.  In 1827, she was joined in bonds of holy matrimony to the late Malcom McLeod, who had come from Scotland (his native land) to his country in 1800.  About 1834 they moved to the western part of his Province, and settled in Goderich, Huron county.  After a few years spent in the State of Michigan, United States, they finally located, in 1845, in the township of Raleigh, county of Kent.  They identified themselves with the then Wesleyan Methodist church - and first among those with whose ministry they were favored, the Rev. Dr. Cochran, now of Japan, was held in fond remembrance. After nearly fifty years of wedded life, she was left to finish the journey alone, and yet not alone, for she trusted in the promise of him who hath said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”  An illness of a very severe character prostrated her on March 19th, 1886, resulting in her death, April 10th.  She bore it with Christian fortitude, though often praying the Master, if it were his will, to release her, and her request was granted.  On April 12th, her remains were laid away in Maple Leaf Cemetery, Chatham.  The funeral sermon was preached at Union Hall, Raleigh, on Easter Sunday, by the Rev. J. G. Scott, Chairman of the District.  The text was Micah ii. 10.  “This is not your rest.”  He repeated during his sermon the following from the pen of C. Mackay, which contains the gist of the discourse. [Poem follows]  [signed] F.M.H.

Well Known Mariner Dies at Picton

Capt. Robert McLeod, operator of the Glenora-Adolphustown ferry for nearly 30 years, died in Prince Edward County Hospital here early yesterday. He had been in failing health for some months and had undergone an operation in the spring. He marked his 63rd birthday in July.

Funeral service, under Masonic auspices, is being held at his late residence, Adolphustown, Friday afternoon. He will cross the ferry on his final trip as the cortege wends its way to Glenwood Cemetery, Picton.

Son of the late Robert McLeod and his wife, Annie Orr, he was born in Picton. As a young man he sailed on the lakes, serving as mate on the barge Algonquin. Later, he was a member of the Toronto police force. He built and operated a six-car ferry at the Glenora crossing. When the Ontario Government established a free ferry service there in 1934, he commanded the ‘Quinte’ and had since been in charge.

He was widely known to the thousands who used the ferry and was a courteous and obliging official. He built his home on the Adolphustown side of the ferry in 1938. He was a member of the Prince Edward Lodge, No. 16, AF and AM.

Survivors are his wife, formerly Julia Watson, three sons, Robert Jr., employed on the ferry, William and Chris who attend school in Napanee; three daughters, Margaret and Audrey, both of Kingston and Mrs. Ball, Cornwall, the latter by his first marriage.

ROBERT McMILLEN - In the death of the subject of this obituary we have another example of the triumph of faith over sin and death.   Robert McMillen was born in the county of Antrim, Ireland, in the year 1807.  When but a youth he gave his heart to God, associated himself with the Church, and became a laborer with its pale.  He was soon appointed to the position of class-leader, which he continued to hold until the hour of his decease.  When about twenty-one years of age he was married to Sarah McMillen, a lady of high Christian virtue, and although of the same name, was no relation of his own.  In the year 1848, with his wife and family of nine children, he came to his country and settled near where he sleeps today.  Only two of this large family, Mrs. Starr, of Norwood, and Mr. Thomas McMillen are left to follow in the footsteps of their now sainted parents.  Father McMillen was a man of earnest piety, very much attached to the cause of God;  very seldom was he absent from the means of grace, and thought no sacrifice too great for the pleasures of the sanctuary.  As a result his light shone brightly, and when the end drew near he was found ready.  His final illness was not protracted.  His pastor, Rev. Mr. Gee, on the eve of his leaving home for a few weeks, in company with the writer, visited him and found him very happy and fully trusting in Jesus.  When for the last time we visited him he was full of joy, notwithstanding great physical weakness;  we sang together that beautiful hymn, “The far away home of the soul,“ when with ecstatic joy he exclaimed, “Glory, glory!”  We then knelt by his bedside and prayed together, feeling, in spite of the gloom, that death had already lost his sting.  A short time afterward he calmly breathed his last in the 78th year of his age.  [signed]  M.

The death of George Barrett McMullen, third son of the late George W. McMullen, leaves a deep sense of personal loss to his many friends and acquaintances.  While at school Barrett McMullen was a great favorite, and as the years went by deep rooted became the love and esteem of every man, woman and child in the town who had the privilege of coming in touch with him.  During the few weeks of his illness, great was the strain felt by all and anxiety was visibly expressed from day to day on the faces of almost every person of his native town.  For some years he was engaged in endeavouring to carry on the business of an extensive farm which had been started by his father, the details of which were diligently attended to by him.  The church, the homes, the musical circles – nay many places not only in the immediate town but in all the county, will feel a void by his removal.  In 1909 he married Miss Herbertha Roblin, only daughter of the Rev. Herbert Roblin of Boston, who with a son and three daughters survive him.  The deep and heartfelt sympathy of the whole town go out to the wife, the mother, sister and four brothers and his immediate relatives.

Death of Mr. J. B. McMullen – The sad news of the sudden death of Mr. James Bates McMullen was announced in Picton by telegram on Saturday morning.  Mr. McMullen had resided at Cairo, Ill., since January last and had even in that short time made many warm friends. He had of late been unusually cheerful and well and no thought of a sudden close to his active life entered the mind of any who knew him.  His son, Frederick B. McMullen, was with him for several days during the  last part of June and had bidden him good-bye on Monday of last week. July 4 (Friday) was a national holiday and Mr. McMullen invited some friends to a picnic on the Missouri side of the river opposite Cairo.  A pleasant day was spent and the party was preparing to return.  One gentleman belated by business had ridden a wheel.  It was suggested that his bicycle be tied to the carriage and he ride back with the others.  Mr. McMullen and he were doing his when the end came, and he sank lifeless to the ground.  There was no struggle, and in a moment he who had been the life of the pleasant party was called away.  It was his oft expressed wish that when his end came, it should be as it was.  The remains were brought to Picton and the funeral took place from the residence of Mr. H. C. McMullen on Tuesday.  The services at the funeral were largely attended by his wide circle of friends and relatives, who bid a long farewell to one whose life was filled with kindness for all who encountered him.  Mr. McMullen was married in 1870 to Mary E. Bogart of Adolphustown, the only daughter of the late L. L. Bogart.  She died in 1873 leaving one son, Frederick Bogart McMullen of Chicago.  In 1891 Mr. McMullen married Mrs. Sylvia Patterson who survives him.  She was with him at his death and in her grief has the profoundest sympathy of all who knew them both, and who can thus appreciated her acute sorrow.   The services at the house were conducted by Rev.

Obituary - Mary Ann McMurrin

wife of Mr. James McMurrin of Gosport, Ontario, was born in Athol, Prince Edward County, and died in the hospital at Kingston, after undergoing a severe surgical operation on Oct. 21st, aged 46 years. The daughter of Methodist parents, she was converted to God and joined the church during revival services held by the now sainted Richard Potter, at what is now known as Glenora, in 1864. Married to her now sorrowing husband in 1874, they spent the first part of their married life in South Fredericksburgh, afterwards settling on the farm at Gosport, directly opposite the old Hay Bay Church, the first Methodist church built in Upper Canada. Sister McMurrin was afflicted for about five years, bearing her sufferings with wonderful patience, exhibiting and manifesting the grace of submission to the Divine will. She has left an excellent name for christian integrity; she was a loving and faithful wife and an ardent worker and supporter of the church.

Deceased was greatly interested along with her husband in the building of the new Hay Bay church, built to supersede the two old churches, one known in olden times as Parks' Chapel, the other as Gosport. The day of the dedication was a great day for her. None worked harder, none provided more liberally than our lamented sister. She was not permitted, however, to worship in it very often.

Rev. Dr. Ryckman, of Kingston, kindly ministered to her while at the hospital. To him and to her husband she gave her dying testimony, and then departed to be forever with the Lord.

The funeral was largely attended, the sermon preached by the writer, in the new church, Hay Bay, from the latter part of 12th verse of the eighth of Ecclesiastics. It was true in her case.

Aged Citizen Passes - James McMurrin

Napanee lost an aged and highly respected citizen on Thursday, September 12th, 1928, when Mr. James McMurrin passed away. Mr. McMurrin had been in failing health for some time, but in spite of his nearly eighty four years, he was able to be around, read the papers, and take an interest in life almost up until the time of his death. He was around as usual and there was no indication of any change when he retire on Wednesday, but early in the morning he slept quietly away.

In the passing of Mr. Murrin one more link with the past has been severed. He came with his parents to this country in 1854, when only ten years of age, from County Monahan, Ireland. It was long before the days of Leviathans and Berengarias. It took the family  about three months in a sailing vessel to reach this country. Locating in Kingston, Mr. John McMurrin, the father of the deceased, secured work as a stone mason. But after four years he moved to Adolphustown, and worked on the Gibbs farm. Later on they bought the Cole farm on the north side of Hay Bay in Gosport, and there they spent most their lives. When John McMurrin died Mr. James McMurrin inherited the property, and continued to dwell there until 1905, when he sold out and removed to Napanee. The deceased was an ardent Protestant, and member of the Orange Order, and an enthusiastic Royal Arch Mason. He was as well a member of St. Andrew's United church. all his life he had been interested in the Church and religious matters and continued to attend their meetings as long as he was physically able.

The funeral was held from his late home, Thomas Street, on Saturday and was conducted by Rev. A.J. Wilson, Pastor of St. Andrew's Church and by the Masonic Order. The body was taken to Picton for burial, where it was met by members of the Picton Masonic Lodge and friends who participated in the last rites.

He is mourned by his widow, and by a large host of friends to whom he had become well known during his long career.

During the service Mrs. and Miss G. Richardson sang together one of Mabel's favorite hymns, "He Lifted Me." The pall bearers, friends of the deceased, were Earle Howell, Jack Howell, Frank Mellow, Ross Joyce, Clare Snook and Earle Walmsley.

OBITUARY - MRS. JOHN E. MEEKS

On October 17th, near Croydon, death again visited the neighborhood and took from our midst, Mrs. John E. Meeks.  She was in her sixty-seventh year and had been ill for over a year.  She bore her suffering with great patience, believing God had a better place awaiting her, where no sickness, ever comes.  She loved the beautiful songs of Zion and was often heard with songs on her lips.

The funeral was held in West Plain United Church, her former place of residence.  Service was conducted by the Rev. A. E. Oliver and Rev. Mayor. A very impressive sermon was preached from the text, “Come unto me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”; a chosen text of the deceased.  The choir sang one of her favourite hymns, “I am coming to Jesus for rest.”  The remains were laid to rest in West Plain cemetery, where her young son was buried, years ago.

She leaves to mourn her loss, a devoted husband and one daughter, Mrs. R. Johnson, who lived with her during her illness, and did all that loving hands could do.  Three grandchildren also mourn the loss of a kind and loving grandmother.

Sympathy is extended to the sorrowing friends.

Mellow - At South Fredericksburgh, on Sunday, Jan. 12th, 1913, Mrs. Thomas Mellow, aged 45 years.

 

Georgeana Card - Beloved wife of Mr. Thomas Mellow, Sandhurst, fell asleep in Jesus on Sunday, Jan. 12th, 1913, after a long and lingering illness of over two years, which she bore with great patience and suffering. Hers was a beautiful Christian life. The writer, who knew her from infancy, has for years past frequently remarked and heard others remark that  they never knew of a more sanctimonious person; always cheerful, pleasant and sunny, and ever ready and willing to discharge any Christian or neighborly duty that presented itself. They had recently erected a beautiful new home and fully expected to spend many years of comfort and retirement there, but God's will be done. While sick she received all the loving care a loving husband could give. She was a great worker in the Methodist church and societies, being a member of several, the Women's Institute and also of the Ladies Aid. She leaves to mourn a kind and grief-stricken husband and two sons, Merton and Leonard, and Pearl, a married daughter in Red Deer, Sask. The funeral was held at her late residence, and was largely attended, Rev. Mr. Garrett preaching a very impressive sermon. She was followed from her residence by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, the Ladies Aid accompanying in a body. The remains were placed in the vault, there to await interment, not without leaving her mourning friends with an assurance that she has passed from death into life and gone to be with Christ which is far better.

MELLOW - At Sillsville, Thursday, 11th August, 1904, Samuel Henry Mellow, aged 76 years and 4 months.

 

SAMUEL H. MELLOW - On Thursday evening, Aug. 11th , Mr. Samuel H. Mellow, of Sillsville passed suddenly away in his 77th  year. He had been in his usual state of fair health during the day and was spending the evening with Mrs. Mellow, at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Duncan Hough. After making a passing remark in a cheerful conversation, he laid his head against the back of his chair, a pallor overspread his countenance, and when his side was reached his spirit had fled. Deceased was born in St. Austell, Cornwall, England in 1828, and came to Canada in 1850 when he engaged in teaching at Morven and at Anderson's school house near Napanee. In 1854 he visited his old home, and in 1855, was married to Mary J. Yelland of Penzance, who survives him. Returning in 1855 with his brother, Wm. J. Mellow, of Gretna, also recently married, they were shipwrecked at night at Holyhead, on the coast of Wales, but escaped with most of their belongings though the ship sank almost immediately. On their arrival in Canada the brothers opened a store in Morven and a few years later purchased a tract of land in Kaladar, where they resided for three years, but found transportation too difficult to make farming a success in that then remote township. About forty years ago Samuel H, removed to Sillsville, and a few years later purchased a part of the Glebe of Clergy Reserve land, which has since been his home. Early in his married life deceased joined the Methodist church, of which he has ever since been an earnest and consistent member, and with a few others struggled for many years to maintain an appointment at Sillsville. Immediately after moving to Sillsville he assisted in organizing the Glebe Sunday School, of which he has ever since been the superintendent. During the forty years which have elapsed he has seen his youngest scholars grow to manhood and womanhood and their children take the place in his class which the parents formerly occupied. His kindly nature made him the interested companion and loving friend of children and young people, and he ever strove to inculcate in their minds those gentle thoughts and noble precepts which tend to elevate the mind and enoble the character. On Sunday morning, Aug. 14th, at the hour at which he was accustomed to assemble with his beloved Sunday School his body was borne to the church by his five sons and his son-in-law, preceded by the Sunday School singing his favorite hymn. The casket was covered with flowers, sent by the Sunday School, his children and numerous friends. After an Impressive service by Rev. Mr. Thomas, he was laid at rest. "He was not for God took him." His loving wife and the devoted mother of his children survives him. The other members of the family are Annie J., now Mrs. Duncan Hough, of Sillsville; Dr. Samuel J., of Port Perry; Thomas Y., of Sandhurst; Felix, of Bath; Fannie and Arthur W., at home, and Dr. Frank E. at Sainfield.

Dr. S. J. Mellow –

It is with sincere regret that we record the death of Dr. S. J. Mellow, on Thursday, March 4th, 1925.  He will be greatly missed in his professional capacity and as a citizen.

Dr. Mellow was born September 19th, 1859, at Morven, near Napanee.  After his Public School course, he attended High School at Napanee, took his Normal course, and taught school for three years at Camden and Sillsville, Ont.  He then went to Queen’s University and took his medical course, graduating in 1886.  He first practiced medicine at Bath, Ont., staying there three years.  While residing at Bath, Dr. Mellow married Miss Bertha Louise Armstrong.

Shortly after their marriage, Dr. and Mrs. Mellow moved to Bay City, Michigan, where he remained for five years as a resident doctor.  In 1894 Dr. and Mrs. Mellow moved to Port Perry, where they have since resided.

Since coming to Port Perry, Dr. Mellow has taken an active part in the affairs of the town.  He was in the council for a number of years, and was Reeve for a term.  Perhaps his greatest interest was shown in his service to the Board of Education of which he was a member for some twenty years, and at one time became chairman of that body.  He was also a member of the Library Board, and has been President of the Board since the change from an Association to Public Library, taking a leading part in promoting the building of a War Memorial Library.

While public affairs were of importance, Dr. Mellow’s practice grew steadily and in this field he will be most seriously missed.  It will be difficult for the community to get along without his constant, skilful, and painstaking service.

Dr. Mellow was fond of sport, and his recreations were lawn bowling, tennis and curling.  He maintained his own tennis lawn, and made all tennis lovers welcome in the use of it.  As a member of the Lawn Bowling Club, he leaves a gap hard to fill. 

The outstanding features of Dr. Mellow’s life have been his untiring industry and his sincerity, coupled with excellent judgement of men and affairs.

Dr. Mellow is survived by Mrs. Mellow and their three daughters – Mrs. Merlin Letcher and the Misses Helen and Francis Mellow, also by six brothers and sisters, all of whom were at the unreal – Mrs. D. H. Hough, of Sillsville, Ont.;  Thos. Y. Mellow, Bath, Ont.;  Felix Mellow, of Kingston;  Mrs. W. R. Hough, Sillsville, Ont.’  Arthur W. Mellow, Sillsville, and Dr. F. El Mellow, Uxbridge.

The funeral services were conducted on Saturday afternoon by Rev. Wm. Higgs, and Rev. A. E. Thornley, and were  very largely attended.

The many floral gifts were a striking tribute to the high esteem in which the Doctor was held.  Besides the flowers sent by the immediate relatives, those the tributes of private friends, there were beautiful gifts of flowers from the following bodies, - Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club;  the council of the Corporation of the Village of Port Perry;  Port Perry Board of Education;  Port Perry Public Library Board;  the staff’s of the High and Public Schools, and Ontario County Medical Association.

OBITUARY – Elizabeth Jane Membery – wife of Fred Membery, Reeve of Adolphustown, who has been suffering for the past ten months from Bright’s disease, passed quietly away about 7 o’clock in the evening, on Saturday, 21st inst..  She was taken ill the last week in July and was examined by some of the best doctors in Picton, Bath and Toronto, and there did not seem to be much difference in their opinion.  They all at first thought that the seat of the disease was a diseased lung, with a little Bright’s disease, and not until February, Dr. Northmore, of Bath, was called and pronounced her disease Bright’s disease of a chronic form.  She was tenderly cared for by her daughters for over six months in bed, one of them being a lately graduated nurse from the Winnipeg General Hospital training school for nurses.  Mrs. Membery was a true Christian of the doctrine of Christ, having joined the Brethren many years ago, when Lord Cecil first came to Adolphustown to preach the Gospel of Christ, and remained a true believer to the end, enduring all her suffering with patience, with a firm belief of meeting her Saviour in Heaven.  The funeral was one of the largest here for years, and she was laid to rest in St. Paul’s churchyard, in a plot taken up next her grandfather’s plot, Major Peter V. Dorland and descendants. A gentle rain fell upon the coffin as she was being borne to the grave.  Mrs. Membery was a lady very highly respected, a genial, kind-hearted friend to the sick and suffering in her neighborhood at all times during the whole of her life. The people of Adolphustown village, as well as her husband and children, have lost their greatest friend.  She was born Oct 30th, 1842 and died May 21st 1898, making her 55 years, 6 months and 22 days.  She was married January 1st 1863.  Mrs. Membery was the daughter of the late Philip Dorland, who died twenty-eight years ago, and granddaughter of Major Peter V. Dorland, and great-granddaughter of Philip Dorland, U.E. Loyalist, who was once elected to Parliament by acclamation, and resigned his seat rather than take an oath the  law required, he being a Quaker in faith.  J.W. Dorland, formerly of the Campbell House, is a brother of Mrs. Membery, and Mrs. W.R. Membery, of the Daly House, Toronto, and Mrs. Glass, of Chicago are sisters, who came to see her on her deathbed and attended her funeral.  James Grace, Sec. And Treas. of the Toronto Street Railway Co., is a first cousin, her father’s sister’s son.  Mrs. Membery’s mother is a sister of the S.W. Trumpour, so long the Treasurer of this Township.  The Dorland family have a splendid reputation for generations back, and a book is now being compiled by John Dorland, Governor of Washington, tracing the family back to the first settlement of New York City, of which two brothers from Germany located, a lot of 200 acres a piece, now the very center of the city, and their descendants are now to be found in nearly every state of the Union, occupying some of the most prominent positions in the country.  The Dorlands are growing few in Adolphustown, sorry to say, only J.W., Samuel and Redford Dorland, Tp. Clerk, and none of these have any heirs or likely to now at their age.  Mrs. Membery had only two children, Mrs. Geo. Armstrong and Ida Membery, the professional nurse.

CORRECTION - Adolphustown, May 21st , '06 - Dear Editor -- In the obituary of the late D. W. Allison in last week's Beaver, an error appears in the maiden name of his widow. She is my sister. We are no relation to the Emburys of this County. My grandfather, Amos Membery came from Dorsetshire, England in the year 1845 and settled in Adolphustown, purchasing the old U.E.L. farm owned by Capt. Mabee, now owned by J. B. Allison, Esq., who also married a sister of mine. My grandfather brought with him from England $30,000.00 in gold -  a good sum to own so far back as 1845. The name "Membery" can be traced as far back in England as the year A.D. 449 in "Dooms Day Book" and a town in Devonshire County, still retains our name, and just outside of the town of Membery are the ruins of a castle still called "Castle Membery". Please correct the error and oblige your sincere friend. (Signed) Fred Membery.

An Old Resident - Giles Membery Dies at Adolphustown - Life on the Sea in Early Days

Giles Membery, who died at his residence, Adolphustown, June 10th, 1896, was born at Dorsetshire, Eng., April 3rd, 1808, and was therefore, at his death, eighty-eight years, two months and seven days old. He was a resident of Adolphustown fifty one years, having come to Adolphustown in 1845, purchased the old Capt. Maybee farm and resided upon it till his death. He was a successful farmer, and the late Philip Ham is authority for stating that Giles Membery was the first man to fall plough for a spring crop in all this part of the country. His success in so doing soon showed others the lesson to follow suit, and today no one would think of doing otherwise for a successful crop. He had seven children: Mrs. H.F. Stone, San Francisco; the late A.M. Membery, ex-reeve and township clerk, Adolphustown; the late Mrs. J.B. Allison; Mrs. W.A. Hammond, jeweler, San Francisco; W.R. Membery, now of the Daly house, Toronto, and Mrs. D.W. Allison, Adolphustown.

Giles Membery's father came to this country in '38 and purchased the old Beeman homestead in S. Fredericksburgh. He also bought each of his children a farm in the United States, of which he had eight, where his grandchildren and great grandchildren are to be found today in prosperity, many of them getting high positions in the government. L. Marsh, once state senator of Michigan, Col. E. Marsh, of Missouri, and A. Marsh, who ran at the last election, State legislature, Watertown democratic ticket, are his grandchildren. Giles Membery's father, Amos Membery was a successful English farmer, coming to this country a wealthy man. In his young days, his father sent him to sea to see if he would like that life better than farming. He left Bristol, Eng., for Bermuda, in the ship Renewal, April, 1800, and it took to October following to return. There were 125 vessels in the fleet, protected by two men-of-war.

The vessels were merchantmen. They lost two vessels by pirates before their return. The name of the flag ship was the "Commodore". The instrument he used "quadrant or quarter circle" for telling the latitude and longitude they were in, is now in Fred Membery's possession, together with the log or diary book of the fleet and their everyday movements on the six months' trip, and contains some very interesting notes. The book is dated 17th April, 1800, and the instrument for telling the latitude and longitude is dated and inscribed "Made by T. Parnell, No. 25 opposite Glasgow wharf, for Andrew Davidson, A.D. 1789." On his return to England he dropped the sea bubble and took to farming with his father, who at the time kept 5,000 sheep on his ranch. Farming in England in those days was done by the biggest guns, and was very remunerative to those engaged in it. Giles Membery belonged to the church of England and was reform in politics. His father was a Presbyterian in religion and a conservative in politics.

Level Crossing Accident Takes Lives of Two People – Couple on Way to Napanee as Train Hits Car –

SILLSVILLE – Nov. 2 – (Special) -   Robert Merritt, 62, of Sillsville, was killed instantly Saturday night at Mooney’s Crossing on the Hamburg Road, two miles south of Napanee, about 7.15 and his wife was fatally injured.  A car in which Mr. and Mrs. Merritt were driving to Napanee from Sillsville was struck by a C.N.R. westbound fast passenger  train.  Poor visibility, because of a heavy downpour of rain, is believed to have been responsible for the accident.  Mrs. Merritt died in the Kingston General Hospital two hours after the accident.

It was later learned that Mr. and Mrs. Merritt were on their way to Napanee with a quilt for the Salvation Army.  Provincial Constable F. W. Barrett was summoned to the scene of the accident and Coroner D. R. Hall conducted an investigation.  It was not certain today if an inquest would be held. 

The late Mr. and Mrs. Merritt resided on a farm at Sillsville, where they had lived since coming to Canada from England 33 years ago.  They were both active in church and charitable organization.

Surviving are a daughter Mrs. Clarence Davis of Adolphustown, and two sons, Percy, on a nearby farm at Sillsville, and Leslie, stationed at Winnipeg with the R.C.A., who was previously with the Bank of Commerce head office at Toronto.

The late Mr. Merritt was a well-known Holstein breeder and showed pure-bred cattle at many of the fairs in this district, including Kingston, Napanee, Belleville and Picton.  He was a member of the South Fredericksburg Board of Education and the township council and the board of stewards of the United Church and he sang in the choir.

Mrs. Merritt was prominent in charitable and church work.  She was a member of the Women’s Association of the United Church and had attended every W. A. annual meeting, including the one held at Wilton 20 years ago.  She had done a great deal of knitting for war work.

SILLSVILLE -  Nov. 6 – The funeral service of the late Robert and Ada Merritt who were accidentally killed at Mooney’s Crossing was held at their home “Elmville Farm” on Tuesday afternoon at 2.30.  Rev. Mr. Crawford conducted the service and hymns sung were “Nearer My God to Thee” and “Abide With Me”.

Because their younger son, Leslie, was delayed in his journey at Fort Garry owing to a rock slide north of Lake Superior, he was unable to be present on Tuesday and the committal service was delayed until Wednesday at 2 p.m., when, after a short service at the home, interment was made at Riverview Cemetery, Napanee.  The pall-bearers were Morley Whyte, Harold Hough, Morley Creighton, Bert Windover, Lachlan McLean and J.B.

We have this week to report a sad death in the person of Jacob Meyers. He has resided with his brother for a number of years and was picking pears off a tree in the orchard, when he slipped and fell, injuring the spine and fracturing the skull. Dr. Northmore, of Bath, was summoned and did all that could be done for the sufferer, but without avail. He succumbed to his injuries in a few short hours. Everything that could be done to make a sufferer happy was done. The accident occurred on Wednesday, 1st Sept., and he died on the 2nd, aged 58 years. All that can be said of deceased is that he was a quiet, harmless, inoffensive citizen and a true member of the Methodist church, of which he was a faithful worker. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Williams, at Bethel church, on Saturday, and the remains were placed in Morven vault. His end was peace.

Death of a Veteran

He Passed Away Last Week in Picton

Rev. Aaron D. Miller Did Good Service in the Methodist Church – Some of His Strong Characteristics.

Picton Gazette

About midnight on Friday last, 17th inst., Aaron D. Miller, an aged saint, many  years ago a powerful factor in the cause of Methodism in this part of the province, heard the summons of the Master to come up higher, and quietly and silently passed on to his reward. For many years he had been so afflicted with the loss of sight and hearing that the world had been almost a blank to him, and life to him had been confined almost to contemplation and the fervent religious duties that in his experience could never grow old. He was born at Switzerville, township of Ernesttown, on November 17th, 1822, and at the time of his death was in his 89th year. A life of such length in the active work of the church could not fail to have many wonderful experiences. Aaron Miller was received on probation in the Methodist ministry in the year 1851, his name standing in an honored place between those of George MacDougall and John W. German. His father, John M. Miller, generally called Squire Miller, was a well-to-do farmer in the Adolphustown district, and there acquired a large property of 500 acres, the gift of the crown to one who had stood steadfast to Britain in the time of the revolutionary war. Squire Miller joined to his farming operations other business projects and advanced to considerable wealth. He was not too favorable to his son’s assumption of the life of a Methodist preacher, not because he undervalued the moral worth of such a career, but because he questioned if his somewhat limited attainments would sufficiently qualify him for the undertaking. From his mother, who was a truly noble and consecrated woman, he received nothing but the highest encouragement, and the inspiration that could not fail to nerve him for his work. So with perhaps some misgivings, but with unlimited honesty of purpose and zeal, he started with horse and saddlebags, to his first appointment on the Brighton Circuit under the superintendency of George F. Playter and the superintendency of Richard Jones. His ministry was confined chiefly to the bounds of the London, Montreal and Bay of Quinte Conferences, and in the latter he achieved his most signal successes.

His strong, energetic temperament and restless sort of character gave a sort of rugged eloquence to his sermons and made him take as a preacher. He was indefatigable in his efforts to enlarge his field of knowledge and to acquire some graces of style that would render him more acceptable as a preacher. He read constantly the best books, especially the Bible, and gradually grew into the affection and appreciation of his people. He spoke the words of life in a bold, unflinching tone and manner, and fearlessly reproved men for their sins. His outspoken utterances and his faithful presentation of his message ultimately prevailed. Men began to repent of their sins and revival influence spread in mighty power over whole townships. In these days, of poor church accommodation, camp meetings were numerous, and at these romantic gatherings under the shiver leaf sounds of the forest where the heart beats in closest sympathy with nature, the voice of Aaron Miller was loudest in his appeals to his fellow men. All his life he seemed to have a special gift in prayer and accomplished much by his impassioned, powerful appeals, that started sinners into a realization of their situation and their need of higher help. Conversions were numerous and the word of the lord increased daily, as in olden days. It was toward the close of his career in this section of the country that a spirit of doubt and despondency, from whatever cause, private criticism or public indifference, got hold of him and nearly blasted the promise of his earlier years. He doubted his call to preach and felt his unpreparedness for the great work before him. With Aaron Miller such a misgiving was equivalent to throwing up his credentials. He packed up his belongings and signified his determination to abandon his work. But the lady of the house where he was staying, hearing of his mental condition, remonstrated with him and pointed to his many succe3sses as evidences of his call. She abjured him to continue in his work. Aaron Miller, always positive in his character, conceiving the fault was in himself, withdrew to his room and laid the matter before the Lord. He did not come forth till by mighty pleadings and a fresh and complete consecration of himself to God, he had received the tokens of divine acceptance that he never afterwards lost. Henceforth the path before him was plain. His duty was to preach the gospel everywhere, and by all waters, and he never receded from the lofty consciousness of the mission which he felt had been placed upon him by higher than human hands.  Subsequently he came to the southeastern parts of this county and his voice was heard constantly in Milford, Cressy, in fact all points from Indian Head to Carrying Place. Great revivals rocked the country, and men everywhere joined the church. If men of the present day wish to understand what Aaron Miller was in the days of his strength, they must talk with men that have passed the 80th or 90th meridian of life, not with those who have known him only when the white blossoms of the almond tree have been flourishing thick on his venerable form.

At some of the prominent meetings in this county it is said that as many as 300 converts joined the church. These were the olden times, the good old days when a sturdy earnestness pervaded the church and when the motto of its ministers seemed to be: “The world, the world for Christ.” For the past 29 years Aaron Miller has held a superannuated relationship to the church, but has always maintained an active interest in it. His service is only remembered by the few, for the great masses among whom he labored, have preceded him to the silent land, but those who survive and are qualified to speak on so important a subject are one in their testimony of his evangelical spirit, and his desire to be a burning and a shining light in the salvation of men. Such for many a year he remained.

His funeral took place on Monday at 3 p.m. and was conducted by Rev. W.H. Elmsley, of the First Methodist church, assisted by Rev. Dr. Harrison of the main street church.

A goodly company assembled at the Miller homestead to pay their last tribute of respect to this worthy man of God, and listen to the eloquent remarks of Rev. Mr. Elmsley, who took as the basis of his subject the “nunc dimittis,” Luke II, 20, “Lord, lettest now Thy servant depart in peace for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.” His wife, Elizabeth Huff, whose pious memory still preserves its fragrance in this community, predeceased him some five or six years ago. He was laid to rest by her side in Glenwood cemetery.

(nee Cadman)

 

MILLER, Mrs. Elizabeth, daughter of William Cadman, a UEL, was born in the province of New York in 1774, and came to Canada with her parents at the close of the Revolutionary War, settling in Fredericksburgh twp. She married George Miller of Ernestown who predeceased her in January 1844. She died in Ernestown Apr 11 1856, survived by her sons and daughters.

 

Mrs. Elizabeth Miller of Ernesttown

Sister Miller was born in the state of New York (then Province) in the year 1774. Her father, William Cadman - a  U.E. Loyalist - with his family came to Canada at the close of the Revolutionary War, and were among the first settlers in the Township of Fredericksburgh. In the year 1791, that faithful and zealous Missionary, the Rev. William Losee, formed a circuit along the shores of the Bay of Quinte, where he was instrumental in the hand of God in gathering many lost sheep into the fold of Christ, among whom was the subject of his memoir; she joined the society of the (then despised) Methodists, and received a bright evidence of the pardon of her sins through the blood of Christ, she soon after sought and obtained the blessing of entire satisfaction. She was united in marriage to Mr. George Miller, of Ernest Town who became an Exhorter and Class-leader. Sister Miller was blessed with a remarkably mild and kind disposition, which being purified by grace, caused her to be much esteemed by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, and she "adorned her profession by a well-ordered life and godly conversation." Class meeting were her delight, at which, she had many happy seasons during her lengthy pilgrimage in this vale of tears; but for many years past, bodily affliction prevented her enjoying the privilege of the class most of the time; but she held fast her integrity and was ever noted for her humility and patience. She was an affectionate wife, an indulgent mother and kind neighbor; she raised a large family, most of whom are following her in the path of righteousness.

Sister Miller had great regard for the preachers of the gospel, who were ever welcome guests at her home;  among the early heralds of salvation in Upper Canada, who, as they went their rounds, partook of the hospitality of her and her kind husband, were the Rev. Messrs. Losee, Dunham, Woolsey, Wooster, Bishop, Coleman, Crowell, Jewell, Michael and Samuel Coate &c.

There is now but one person left, known to the writer, who was converted under the ministration of Mr. Losee, and she is in the 85th years of her age. In January, 1844, Mother Miller's respected husband was called home and she was left a widow, but she had filial attention paid her in her afflictions by her youngest son, and two unmarried daughters. Three weeks previous to her death she had a premonition of her exit, but she was not alarmed; she had "fought a good fight", she had finished her course", she had "kept her faith," and was waiting for the crown: "Not Jordan's dream, nor death's cold flood, could fright her from the shore." She manifested a resignation to the will of her Divine Master in the last moments of her life. She died the 11th of April, 1856, aged 81 years, 65 of which she had been a consistent and worthy member of the Methodist Church.

An impressive discourse was delivered at her funeral, by the Rev. D.C. Clappison.

A wave of deep regret swept over the community of Morven, on Friday, Sept. 26th 1919, when it was learned that Mr. J. B. Miller had succumbed to apoplexy.  Mr. and Mrs. Miller had been at Kingston for the day and returning Thursday evening at 9 o’clock, Mr. Miller went out to his barn.  When he did not return in the usual time, Mrs. Miller became anxious and went in search only to find her husband unconscious.  Help was secured and medical assistance, but to no avail and shortly after midnight death occurred.  The late Jas. B. Miller was born in 1849, on the Miller homestead, three miles east of Napanee, on the York Road, and spent his whole life in this county.  He was one of a family of eight, of which only two sisters survive, Mrs. Fred Kayler, Winnipeg, and Mrs. Chas Kayler of Napanee.  In 1868 he married Sarah Ellen Perry, of Morven and for forty-one years they have fought life’s battles and met life’s joys together.  Only one child was born to their home Roy, who died in early childhood.  Mrs. Miller has the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends in the hour of her sorrow.  For the last thirty-six years Mr. Miller has lived in his late residence, which has ever been the centre of friendship and hospitality.  Forty years ago Mr. Miller became identified with the Methodist Church and has ever since been an official and closely identified with its activities.  At the time of death he was a Trustee and member of the Official Board at Morven.  The funeral was on Sunday at the Brick Church.  Rev. Mr. Wickett, Tyrone, and Rev. Mr. Seymour, of Bath, assisted the Pastor.  The large congregation of friends present was sufficient evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Miller was held.  No words of eulogy is necessary.  The highest tribute that can be paid to any man is the memory that is cherished by those who knew and loved him.

On Thursday, the 23rd inst. the coroner was called to view the body of a man by the name of John Miller who fell down dead in the street - It seems that Mr. Miller had come from Ernest Town, his place of residence, the day previous, and early on Thursday morning, feeling himself unwell had procured some medicine which he did not take however, and had proceeded down St--- Street as far as Mr. Dowling’s when he fell down dead immediately opposite the door.  And would it be believed, from the general humane character of the inhabitants of Kingston, that his body was permitted to lie in the street from six till 12 o’clock?  Yet it is nevertheless true - Jury’s verdict, visitation of God.  Reader!  what a warning, to be prepared to meet your God at any moment.

The Late J.S. Miller

Our translated brother was born in Adolphustown in March, 1841, and had passed his 64th year at the time of his death, which event took place at the family residence, "Prospect Hill", No. 11, North Fredericksburgh, Nov. 9th. Deceased married for his first wife Miss M.A. Ruttan, who was early taken from his side, in the 24th year of their married life. She left one son, James Herbert Miller, who still survives. Deceased was the senior son of Wm. R. Miller and his wife Lucy Wagar, both of whom are numbered among the vanished pioneers. On May 2d, 1893, he married Mrs. M.A. Wagar. The sorrowing widow now for the second time mourns the loss of the staff and stay of this life. The second family consists of one daughter and one son, both of tender years. Her grown daughter, Lottie Wagar, is still at home. The departed was converted to God some twenty-five years ago and was identified with the Methodist Church until he was promoted to the services of the Church Triumphant. For many years he filled with credit some of the highest offices in the gift of the church of his choice. In politics he was a loyal Liberal and was some time member of the council of this old historic township. In business he was ever faithful and honest and succeeded beyond the average in regard to this world's good. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. Wesley Down, of Bay Circuit. A very impressive service was held in the Bethany church, when a timely and effective sermon was preached to one of the most representative audiences ever assembled in the church. The whole community joins in sympathy with the sorrowing family.

Mrs. Harry Miller

After an illness of years, Mrs. H. Miller passed to her eternal reward on Saturday, January 6th, at Gravenhurst. Mrs. Miller was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hicks, of North Fredericksburgh, and about fourteen years ago was united in marriage to Mr. Harry Miller. For a number of years they had resided in Oshawa, but during her illness she had spent months at her home at Bethany.

Mrs. Miller who was so often known as 'Kitty' Hicks, was a very pleasing personality and during the years of her suffering she was always patient and hopeful that she might become strong again. She was an affectionate daughter, a devoted wife and a loving mother.

The funeral service was held on Monday, January 8th, in Bethany United Church. Rev. J.E. Beckel, minister of the Bay Circuit, had charge of the service. Rev. T.H.P. Anderson of Newburgh, who had performed the marriage ceremony years ago, was present and preached the funeral sermon. The choir sang several comforting messages of song. The floral tributes and the crowded church were evidences of the esteem in which the deceased was held by friends and relatives. Interment was made in Bethany Cemetery.

She leaves to mourn her loss, her father and mother, her husband, two children, Helen and Mary, and five brothers, Ben and James of North Fredericksburgh, Joseph of Detroit, Walter of New Ontario, and George of British Columbia. Another brother died in the days of the world war.

 

On Saturday morning Mrs. Miller, beloved wife of Harry Miller died at the sanitarium at Gravenhurst after a long illness and the remains arrived in Napanee on the midnight train Saturday and were conveyed to the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hicks. Mrs. Miller before her marriage some twelve years ago was Miss ‘Kitty’ Hicks and was a very estimable young lady and greatly esteemed by her wide circle of friends. She was born at Bethany where she had always resided and the sympathy of the community is extended to her bereaved husband and two daughters as well as to her parents and relatives. There are three brothers, Ben and James, North Fredericksburgh, and Joseph in the United States.

Mrs. Miller took quite an interest in the church work of Bethany. The funeral service was held this afternoon to the Bethany United Church with her minister, Rev. J.E. Beckel in charge.

Miller,

Matthew

 

It is with no ordinary degree of regret that we notice the death of the Rev. Matthew Miller, who was drowned in the Bay of Quinte on Saturday, the 15th instant.

It is not quite two years since Mr. Miller was appointed, by the Glasgow Colonial Society, a Missionary to this province, with instructions, on his arrival in the country, to place himself under the direction of the Synod of Canada.  In this capacity he travelled from one extremity of the Province to the other, and traversed the wilderness in various directions, labouring faithfully and diligently for the good of his fellow men.  He was subsequently ordained to the pastoral charge of the two Presbyterian Congregations of Cobourg and Colborne, making the latter his usual place of residence.

He lately went on a visit to the Bathurst District, and on his return passed through Kingston on Friday, the day before he was lost.  Contrary to the wish of some of his friends in Kingston, and even to his own expressed intention, he was tempted, by the more easy and expeditious mode of travelling on the ice, to venture upon it, and finding it so much more pleasant that dragging heavily and slowly over the land, he proceeded as far as the Rev. Robert McDowall's in Fredericksburgh, where he arrived in safety and  remained for the night.  Here, Mr. McDowall, after having endeavoured without success to divert him from his purpose of proceeding farther on the ice, gave him written instructions how to travel so as to avoid the dangerous places.  The morning of the Saturday proving rainy, Mr. McDowall again attempted to dissuade him from taking the ice, but the difficulties of the land travelling now hourly  increasing, he was tempted to persist in his original intention, and set out on the ice as before.  The precise course he pursued can only be guessed at, but it would seem that he very soon altogether deviated from the instructions he had received, and took the direction of some of the most unsafe places in the whole Bay, when he soon came to his end off Trumpour's Point. as appears by his watch having stopped at a quarter past 9 o'clock.  The place where he was found was quite open, but, as we have said, it was raining at the time, and there being water on the surface of the ice, the opening would no doubt be undistinguishable by him until he found himself suddenly precipitated into the water.  The place being very lonely, it was not until the evening of the following day that the melancholy occurrence was known, when part of the Sleigh was seen above the water, leading to the supposition that someone had been lost.  Search was immediately made, and the body of a stranger found in about ten feet water, and conveyed to the house of Mr. John Trumpour.  Mr. Trumpour gave notice to Samuel Casey, Esq., who, with very kind and humane considerations, lost no time in conveying the intelligence of this sad event to Kingston and Colborne, where, from some papers found  on the person of the deceased, Mr. Casey rightly conjectured that his friends and place of residence would be discovered.  On Monday evening the rumour of a person having been lost in the ice reached Mr. McDowall, who, as soon as he ascertained that it was the Rev. Mr. Miller, hastened with Mrs. McDowall, to the spot, where lay the remains of their late friend, and united in their exertion with those other humane and kind hearted individuals whom we have mentioned, in making the necessary preparations for the decent interment of the deceased.  The Rev. M. Machar, on the news of this melancholy event being communicated to him on Tuesday morning, set out for Adolphustown, and arriving at Mr. Trumpour's after midnight, has the satisfaction, a mournful one it is true, of seeing that every necessary preparation had been made for the funeral of his lamented Brother in the Ministry.  On Wednesday morning, he attended his remains to the place of interment, in the Old Burial Ground at Adolphustown, a place, decently enclosed, where is deposited the dust of some of the earliest and most respectable settlers in the Township, and where too, may now be seen, the Stranger's grave.

 

We are requested to announce that the remains of the much lamented Rev. Mr. Miller, whose melancholy fate has excited such universal sympathy, having been removed from Adolphustown, will arrive here on Saturday next, for re-interment in the new Presbyterian Church of this place;   also, that on Sunday next, a suitable funeral sermon will be delivered at the usual place of meeting, by the Rev. Mr. Rogers, of Peterboro'. [Cobourg Star, 5th March]

 

On Saturday night last, the Rev. Matthew Miller, Minister of the Scotch church at Cobourg, while crossing from Adolphustown to the stone mills, Marysburgh, with his horse and sleigh, broke through the ice, off Trumpour’s Point, and unfortunately, all perished.  His body and the horse were found the next morning.  It would appear that the accident occurred at half past ten o’clock, from the fact that his watch, which was found on his person, stopped at that hour.  Mr. Miller was highly esteemed for his superior talents, unassuming manners, and religious life.  The untimely removal of such men is a public as well as private loss.

Obituary - Mrs. James Miller

At the Hotel Dieu, Kingston, on Wednesday night, Mrs. James Miller, of Bethany, passed away after an illness of several months.

Her passing, although expected for some time owing to the serious nature of the malady, has cast a gloom over the district where she had spent her whole life, and the heartfelt sympathy of everyone is extended to the grief-stricken husband, the two children, her father and brother.

The deceased was a native of the Township of North Fredericksburgh, being the daughter of Mr. Ben Huyck and the late Mrs. Huyck. Beloved in her home, beloved in the church, there is no one in Bethany who will be missed more.

An ex-president of the ladies' Aid and organist of the Bethany Church, a great assistant in many departments of the Church's work, a splendid worker in the Sunday School, her passing will leave a gap that will be hard to fill.

During her long illness both at home and in the hospital, she bore it with Christian fortitude and was ready to accept the Master's call. She received the best of medical care and nursing, and every day enquiries were made by her legion of friends.

The remains were brought to Napanee and taken to her late home, the funeral service being held at the Bethany Church on Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J.E. Beckel.

Besides her husband, two children, Marion and Ronnie are left to mourn also, her father, Mr. Ben Huyck and her brother, E.B. Huyck.

Horrible Murder - On the 4th instant, a person of the name of James Milligan, of Fredericksburgh, murdered his wife under circumstances of singular brutality. The unfortunate woman was about to be confined, and in the absence of the female attending upon her, she was assaulted by her husband, while under the influence of liquor, and the child taken from her in a manner altogether revolting. She survived about two hours. Milligan was committed to the District Gaol here this morning to stand his trial at the approaching Assizes. We learn that the mother and child were buried on the 6th and what appears to us singular is that Milligan was not apprehended till the 22d inst. It appears also very strange that there was no Coroner's Inquest held over the bodies.

W.H. Milling, Napanee, Well Known Farmer and Business Man

Had Been Ill Only Few Days

Early Wednesday morning, the death occurred at the Kingston General Hospital of one of the best known and highly esteemed residents of the Napanee district in the person of W.H. Milling in his 57th year. His serious illness had been of a very brief nature and on Sunday he went to the hospital, suffering from pneumonia. There were also other complications and his condition grew steadily worse. On Tuesday word was received in town that his condition was very critical.

He was a native of the township of North Fredericksburgh, an only son of Mrs. John Milling and the late Mr. Milling. For many years he was a successful farmer and on retiring from the arduous duties of the farm he purchased the grocery business on Dundas St. East, Napanee, for many years known as the Smith store. He was in business for some time and eventually disposed of it after which he returned to the farm.

He came to Napanee a few years ago and erected a home just outside of the westerly limits of the town. For the past number of years he not only superintended his 200 acre farm but he did contracting business, in which he was very successful. In 1922 at the solicitation of many ratepayers, he consented to run for the office of reeve of North Fredericksburgh and was elected.

In 1923 and 1924 he was again re-elected and in the latter year was named to the highest position in the gift of the county, that of warden, a position which he ably filled. He was well liked by his confreres both on the township and county councils.

He had been a member of Union Lodge No. 9 A.F. & A.M. for several years and was a member of the Napanee Rotary Club a few years ago. Owing to being away so much he, with much regret withdrew from the Rotary Club. He was a life-long Conservative.

His father passed away in June 1931. He was twice married, his first wife having been a daughter of J.A. Bell and the late Mrs. Bell.

His second wife, who survives, was before her marriage, Miss Chalmers of Adolphustown. Besides his mother, who has been in ill health for many years, he leaves four daughters, Mrs. E.R. Edwards (Mildred) of Toronto, Mrs. Rod Sharpe (Helen) of Napanee R.R., Mrs. J.D. Mayhew (Harriet) of Napanee and Mrs. J.G. Hunter (Jean) of Malartic, Que.

The passing of Mr. Milling, or Hugh as he was known to everyone, was heard with sincere regret by his legion of friends in Napanee and the district adjoining.

The funeral service, which will be held under Masonic auspices, will take place from his late residence at 2.30 on Friday afternoon with interment in Riverside Cemetery, Napanee.

Successful Businessman and Former Fire Chief Frank Mills Died Monday -

Franklin Boyce Mills, 66, a lifelong resident of Napanee and successful retired businessman died Monday morning in Kingston General Hospital.  Mr. Mills had recently undergone an operation and did not recover from it before he was stricken with a heart attack last Friday.  The funeral is being held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m., at Trinity United Church.

He was the fire chief in Napanee from 1945 until 1959 and before that had been a member of the fire department from 1919.  He leaves his wife, the former Evelyn McKim and a son, Dr. Myron S. Mills, as well as one grandchild.

He retired officially from business in January 1959 when his company, the M. B. Mills Co., and Mills Chick Hatchery were sold to Lasher’s Feed and Seeds Limited  He continued to work that spring and assisted this spring as well in the hatchery.  In April of last year he was honored by the Napanee Fire Department when he retired as volunteer chief.

Born at Napanee, he was the son of the late Myron B. Mills and received his early education here.  Later he graduated form the New York Electrical School in New York City, as an electrician.  When World War I was on, he was chief electrician at the shore docks at Ashtabula, Ohio.

He returned home and enlisted with the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery which was mustered across the country and trained at New Westminster, B. C.  He shipped with the cavalry and horses to serve with the army of occupation at Valivostock, Russia, but when the ship was 500 miles out to sea, it was found to be unseaworthy and the contingent was returned to Canada.

Demobilized at Pembroke, Ont., he returned to Napanee where he served with the Seymour Electric Co., the predecessor of Napanee Public Utilities Commission.  As an electrician he wired a large number of the older houses in Napanee. 

Leaving the Seymour Company he went into business with his father.  The M. B. Mills Co. was originally a taxidermy business and later conducted a carriage business.  They also manufactured tents and awnings.

The company purchased a building at the foot of John Street on the present location of the Lennox and Addington Mutual Fire Insurance Co., and an extensive feed business was built up.

Mr. Mills’ father died in 1932, and he carried on, entering the chick hatching business.  Fire destroyed the firm’s premises in 1947 and they purchased the Wiseman garage building at the corner of Centre and Bridge streets.  Lorne Smart, reeve of Napanee and the late Hugh Brennan were active in the company through these years.  It was sold to Lasher’s Feed and Seed Limited in January 1959.  That building was sold this year to the Sun Oil Co., and has since been torn down.

Mr. Mills was an active member of Trinity United Church and a member of the session.  At one time he was a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows in Napanee.

He was a sailing enthusiast in his younger years, sailing with his father on the Dolphin, taking cruising parties through the Bay of Quinte.  His father won a number of sailing races as well with his son as crew member.

William R. Mitts

Father Mitts, the subject of the following obituary notice, was a man highly respected by the community in which he lived and by the members of the church to which he belonged. He was born in the township of Fredericksburgh, August 19th, 1808, and departed this life November 5th, 1889, in the eighty-second year of his age. He was married to his now sorrowing widow, Hannah Young, January 5th, 1830. Eight children were born to them, four sons and four daughters, seven of whom have gone to the better land.

Our brother was converted to God about half a century ago, under the ministry of Rev. Joseph Greenleaf, in the house of Peter Wright, Esq. His conversion was genuine and ever after his life gave evidence of a blessed change. For several years he held the position of steward, an office his son has since filled to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. During the past few years Father Mitts’ health has been feeble, so much so as to prevent him from attending the means of grace, but at all times his testimony to the saving power of the blood of Jesus to cleanse from all sin was clear and scriptural. He retained his mental faculties until the end, recognizing his neighbors as they called to see him and left the blessed assurance to his widow and children that all was well.

A large concourse of sorrowing friends and acquaintances attended his funeral and laid his remains in the family burying-ground at Ivanhoe, to await the resurrection of the just. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”   S.B. Phillips.

ALBERT E. MOORE, LONG ILL, IS DEAD - HAD BEEN CONNECTED WITH A. BUSHNELL & CO. SINCE 1911.  Albert E. Moore, well known employee of A. Bushnell & Company, died late Friday afternoon at his home, 115 Ward Street, following a long illness.  His death was unexpected, however, for he had appeared improved during the past week, when he suffered a relapse.  He was born and had always resided in this city.  He was the son of Mrs. Mary E., and the late Jacob H. Moore.  He was employed for many years as clerk in the dry goods store of Oliver B. Cadwell, 11 Public Square, and acquired in this store a thorough knowledge of domestic dry goods.  When Mr. Cadwell went out of business in 1911, Mr. Moore secured a position with A. Bushnell & company and during the past eight years had been buyer and manager of the domestic dry goods department as well as being one of the staff managers of the store.  He was known to hundreds of patrons of the store in northern New York who relied upon his expert knowledge of materials to guide them in their purchases.  “Mr. Moore came to us in 1911.”  said Karl George, treasurer of the company today. “He was popular and well liked by all of the employees of the store.  There is no doubt but that he was one of the best buyers of domestic dry goods in northern New York.  He had a training that is practically impossible to secure today.  He was a  specialist in his line.  He was a generally useful man.  Nothing can be said that is too good of the man himself.”  Mr. Moore was a member of Trinity Episcopal church and was prominent in the Sunday school work at the church, being superintendent of the school for some time.  He was a member of the local lodge, Improved Order of Red Men.  Surviving are his widow, Elsie Hurlbut Moore, his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Moore, and a brother, Fred H. Moore, all of this city.  The funeral will be held at 2 Monday afternoon from the Moore residence, 115 Ward street.  Rev. Francis W. Eason, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, officiating.   Interment will be in Brookside cemetery.

Death of Mrs. Mary Morgan -

Mrs. Mary Morgan aged 84 years, 10 months and 21 days died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Ingold, at Duquesne, Pa. December 31st 1907.  The deceased was the daughter of the late John and Katherine Hope of Camden township and she was born near Newburgh, Feby 10th 1823 and was married in May 1846 to Richard Morgan, who predeceased her in 1887.  To this union there were born 14 children, of whom five sons and four daughters survive, as follows:  John W. and Joseph Morgan of McKeesport Pa.;  William F. and James H. Morgan of Duquesne;  and Henry Morgan, of Chatham Ontario;  Mrs. Mary Walrath of McKeesport;  Mrs. Isabella Stevens, Mrs. Mabel Morris and Mrs. Katherine Ingold of Duquesne.  One sister, Mrs. George Coburn of Ludington, Mich., survives.  Mrs. Morgan had been a resident of Duquesne for fifteen years, having left Canada in 1872.  She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Elizabeth, Pa., and was a consistent Christian woman.  She had lived to see five generations and leaves 75 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.  The funeral services were held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Ingold and interment was made in the cemetery at Elizabeth beside her husband.  Death is sad, however contemplated, but when one so full of honor and years like this Christian woman is called away, there is a degree of pleasure and satisfaction to know that the full measure of human life and usefulness has been filled, and that the end has been reached  in peace.

ELIZA ARMSTRONG - The subject of this sketch was twice married, first to Wm. Manders, with whom she spent many happy years, and raised a large family, several of whom are followers of Christ.  She was born in the years 1827 in Sligo, Ireland, and died March 2nd 1886.  Her now sorrowing husband, Mr. Thomas Moss, mourns not as those who have no hope of meeting by the “river that flows by the throne of God.”  She was one of the most devoted women we have ever known.  She was for many years a devoted follower of her Lord and Master.  All her brothers and sisters, and father and mother, are endeavoring to make the desired haven of rest.  Her father, for forty years a class leader, is now listening for the Master’s call to “inherit the kingdom prepared for him.”  She had a long illness, which was most patiently endured as seeing him who was invisible.  That memorable hour will not soon be forgotten when her pure spirit soared out of the crumbling wreck to “crown him Lord of all”  Her bereaved partner is one of the most lonely of men, and we will not soon forget how his heart melted as she said, “I’m going home.”  May her dear children walk in the light, and meet her in her own dear home in heaven.  She has gone to participate in the rest that remains for the people of God.  May our sorrowing brother cling to Christ and constantly have the consolations of his grave.  [signed] N.B.

Death of Shepherd Mullett

On Saturday evening last, October 7th, a great shock came to the people of Morven and vicinity as the sad news spread from home to home that Shepherd Mullett died in Napanee today. There seemed a note of finality in the report that forbad any doubts as to its truth, and all too true the rumor proved to be. Mr. Mullett had gone to the station for some building material. When only a few blocks away on his return, he was seen to throw up his hands and fall. Telephoned physicians were quickly in attendance. Their verdict was that probably death had ensued before he fell. His friends and neighbors gathered about him and the remains were lovingly and sorrowfully borne to the home he had so lately left. It was Mr. Mullett's desire to live among the relatives and friends at Morven which led him to leave his farm in Adolphustown some four years ago and settle here. With characteristic energy and faithfulness he threw himself into the religious life of the community in connection with the Methodist church. Here he will be keenly missed. He filled most acceptably the different offices of financial steward, Sunday School teacher and also superintendent. But it will be as a Sabbath School worker that his place will be hardest to fill. As superintendent he will long live in the memory of the people. Last Rally Day will be particularly remembered. The ability and energy with which he planned and conducted the exercises on that occasion came as a surprise, even to those who knew him best. In fact the last days of Bro. Mullett seemed to be his brightest and happiest, reminding those who are left of the path of the righteous, which shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Truly, a man diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, has gone out from among us. The funeral obsequies were conducted on Monday at the White Church by Rev. R. Garrett, pastor, assisted by Rev. G. Horton, a former pastor. The sermon by Rev. R. Garrett was most impressive, founded upon Job xiv-10 "But a man dieth and wasteth away, yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. Geo. Clark, of Conway. They have the sympathy of the whole community in this, their sad bereavement.
