marriage to Mr. Nash took place in Picton, her husband having been a resident
of Bloomfield. They resided in Kingston for a great many years, Mr. Nash
having been a traveler. Five years ago, Mrs. Nash moved to Deseronto and
although of a retiring disposition, she made many close friends here, all of
whom were very sorry to learn of her passing. The deceased,
who was 77 years of age leaves to mourn her loss an only son, Edward Allen
Nash and two brothers, Thomas Allen and C.P. Allen of Adolphustown. During
the past few weeks her niece, Mrs. Preston, whose husband is a Presbyterian
minister at Vankleek Hill has been with her. |

Nash, Thomas
Webb |
At the General Hospital,
Kingston, Tuesday afternoon, March 23rd, 1915. Thomas Webb Nash,
C. E., in his 88th year.
Funeral from the undertaking rooms of Robert J. Reid, 230 Princess
Street to Cataraqui Cemetery on Friday morning at 10:30 o’clock. Friends and acquaintances respectfully
invited to attend. Father of K.
& P. Has Passed Away Career of Thos.
W. Nash, Engineer, is Closed He Laid out
plans for Kingston and Pembroke Ry. – Was an Engineer of Authority Mr. Thomas Webb
Nash succumbed to the ravages of old age in the General Hospital Last
night. He had been in the institution
for about two weeks but age had set heavily on his weakened shoulders and he
gradually sank, passing away peacefully last night. The late Mr. Nash was born on Amherst
Island on the 29th of December 1826. His father, Thomas Nash came from Bristol;, England, and carried on a store at Picton, Ont. On his mother’s side he was descended form Mrs. Haris, of Albeston, a somewhat distinguished member of the “Society
of Friends” (Quakers). A short account
of her life was published at Bristol in 1834.
Mr. Nash himself was a Quaker in sympathies and has been heard to
claim that he was still a member of that Society as he had “never been read
out.” At the same time his religious
connection for many years was with the Methodist church. His heart was set on being an engineer, and
he articled himself to John Emmerson, a Provincial
Land Surveyor at Thurlow, and was in his employment, when the construction of
the Grand Trunk Railway from Toronto to Montreal was begun. He obtained employment as an engineer of
the great new railway and continued with the Grand Trunk until the road was
completed, and subsequently came to Kingston and settled down here pursuing
the vocation of a Provincial Land Surveyor, which he carried on up to a few
months ago. When the Kingston &
Pembroke Railway was organized he became their Chief Engineer. The laying out of the road as it now runs
was his work. Only Engineers know the
difficulties with which he had to contend in constructing a road through the
broken country between Kingston and Renfrew.
He was one of the makers of Canada, whose work is done out of sight,
without noise, but is none the less of the greatest value to his country. It would not be incorrect to say that Mr.
Nash was universally esteemed as a man of unblemished character and
reputation quiet, simple and unostentatious in his life “doing good by
stealth,” in ways that very few people
knew anything about. There are men in
Kingston who could tell of sincere services of friendship and assistance
rendered to them by the deceased citizen, which were never heard of or known
except between the giver and receiver.
Mr. Nash took a real interest in the University and School of Mining
and for some years was a Governor of the latter institution. He leaves two brothers, Dr. Alfred Nash,
Joliet, Ill.; Dr. Samuel Nash of Bath, Ont., and three sisters, Mrs. L. E.
Loomis, of Rich Hill, Mo.,
Mrs. Isobel Sweatman, of Bloomfield,
Ont., and Mrs. Mary Allen Kingston, Ont. |

A Fragrant
Memory - The Life of the Late Mrs. Neilson of South Fredericksburgh On Sunday, May 20th,
Eliza Neilson, widow of the late Thomas Neilson, of South Fredericksburgh
sank peacefully into her eternal rest at the advanced age of ninety years and
six months. The deceased was born in island Magee county Antrim, Ireland, and
was the eldest sister of the late Thomas Downey, of Napanee. In 1830 she came
over with her husband to this country and settled in Sandhurst, where they
brought up a numerous family, eight of whom survive her, all well known and
highly esteemed members of the community. Those who saw Mrs. Neilson only in
the last years of her life, in the decrepitude to which old age had reduced
her, could hardly realize the remarkable mental and physical vigor and
activity which characterized her all her working days. In the year 1858, she
was suddenly deprived by death of the support and counsel of her wise and
faithful husband. Henceforth she had to bear alone the burden of the family
cares and responsibilities, but she proved equal to the task, ruling her
household "prudently with all her power," bringing up her sons and
daughters in the virtue and admonition of the lord, and teaching them by an
example of quiet and unpretending religion how to live good and useful lives.
Her house was one in which industry, godliness, charity and purity predominated.
Sir Christopher Wren's epitaph, in reference to St. Paul's cathedral "
Si queris monumentom circumspice, " "if you seek my monument look
around,: is in a higher and nobler sense applicable to her, as surrounded, so
to speak, by her sons and daughters ornaments of the community in which they
live. She sleeps peacefully in the quiet churchyard of St. Paul's church,
Sandhurst. |

NEILSON - At
Napanee, by drowning, June 4th, 1895, Fred R. Neilson, aged 16 years and 11
months. Sad Drowning
Accident The town was
thrown in a state of excitement Tuesday evening about half-past five o'clock
by the sad intelligence that Master Freddie Neilson, a lad nearly seventeen
years of age, had been drowned in the river while bathing at the sandbanks
near Whittington's brickyard. The lad is a son of Mr. Allan Neilson, of
Sandhurst, and had been a student at the Collegiate Institute for nearly
three years. He was a great favorite with is associates and teachers who
loved and respected him as did all who knew him. In school he was always
obedient, industrious and studious, very quiet and gentlemanly. The citizens
of the town express much sympathy of the sorrowing parents. His brother,
Master John Neilson, in W.S. Detlor's drug store,
was almost distracted on being told the news while the mother fainted away on
receiving the intelligence by telephone. After school, Fred, along with a
number of boys, went down the river in a row boat to bathe. The other boys,
who were better swimmers than he, had gone a considerable way out in the
channel when they heard his cries for help and turned around immediately, but
were nearly tired out on reaching the spot, and although they made repeated
attempts to rescue him, could not succeed. In the meantime the news of the
accident was carried up the river and Master Allen Preston, son of Mr. D.H.
Preston, Q.C., who was in bathing at one of the steamboat docks, hearing the
cries, jumped into a punt close by and rowed manfully to the spot, about half
a mile, where, after diving a number of times he succeeded in bringing the
body to the surface. Every effort was immediately made to resuscitate him by
Dr. Ward and others, but proved unavailing, the body having been in the water
over half an hour. The remains were conveyed to Carscallen's undertaking
establishment where they were place in a casket and afterwards taken to the
home of the parents. The funeral took place at 10:30 o'clock yesterday
morning and was largely attended. The Principal of the Institute and many of
his former schoolmates were among the cortege. A floral anchor with the
initials N.C.I. adorned the coffin, sent by the teachers and scholars of the
Napanee Collegiate Institute. Napanee Ont.,
June 4 - A very sad drowning accident happened this afternoon about five
o’clock, when Fred, the fifteen-year-old son of Mr. Allan Neilson, of
Sandhurst, lost his life. After
school, a number of the school boys went down to the river to bathe. It is supposed that the deceased took
cramps, and before assistance could be procured was drowned. The other boys who were with him were
small, and could not swim well. He was
in the water more than half an hour, and all efforts to resuscitate him
proved fruitless. Napanee, June 5.
- A very sad accident occurred at the sand banks on the Napanee river
yesterday afternoon about five o'clock, when Fred, the fifteen year old son
of Allan Neilson, of Sandhurst, lost his life. After school a few of the boys
went down the river to bathe, and it appears young
Neilson took cramps and drowned before assistance could be procured. Allan
Preston recovered the body after being in the water over half an hour, and
all efforts to resuscitate him proved fruitless. The other boys
who were with him were small and could not swim well, and therefore could not
render him assistance. The remains were taken to his father's last night. The remains of
the late Fred Neilson, drowned in the river on Monday afternoon were
conveyed, yesterday morning, to his home in Sandhurst. The funeral takes
place today. |

Neilson, James Silliman |
Late J.S.
Neilson, Stella The death
occurred on Sunday at 12.30 p.m. of James Silliman Neilson, general merchant,
Stella, after an illness of two weeks. The deceased was born at Sandhurst sixty-nine
years and nine months ago. He had resided at Stella since 1883 when he opened
a general store and coal business. In religion he was an Anglican and
belonged to the A.O.U.W. Surviving are his wife; two sisters, Mrs. George
Wright, Sandhurst, and Miss Anna Neilson, Cobourg; two younger brothers; two
daughters, Mrs. (Dr.) Thompson and Mrs. Backus both of Brooklyn N.Y., and two
sons, Arthur C. of Toronto and L.R. of Stella. The Late James
S. Neilson of Stella, Amherst Island On Sunday, Feb.
20th, James Silliman Neilson died at his home, Stella, Amherst
Island, in his seventieth year, greatly regretted. He was the youngest
surviving son of the late Thomas Neilson of Fredericksburgh and his wife
Elizabeth Downey. He spent his boyhood days on his father’s farm and got his
education in the public school on the next farm. There were good schools in
those days and apt scholars. The Neilson family and others who attended the
same school profited by the instruction of a competent master. It was under
him that Robert Neilson, C.E., an elder brother, laid the foundation of a
brilliant and successful career. He later became president of one of the
leading railroads in the United States. James, after
learning the business of a general merchant, in a leading Napanee store, went
to Amherst Island forty-seven years ago. He then formed a partnership with
the late Captain Thomas Polley. They conducted the
business of general merchants for four years, after which the partnership was
dissolved by united consent. Capt. Polley
continuing the business with his brother-in-law the late George Wright as
partner. J.S. Neilson began business for himself in a small store where the
present large building stands. In 1873 he
married Miss Sarah Louisa Preston, daughter of the late David Preston of
Amherst Island. To them were born four children: Gertrude, who married Dr.
Thompson of Brooklyn; Mollie, who married Mr. Backus, M.E.,;
William, who died eight years ago and Arthur, Mechanical Engineer, Toronto. In 1885 Mrs.
Neilson died. In June 1888 Mr. Neilson married Miss Ida Isabel Roddick of
Port Hope, of this marriage there are six children: Lawrence Roddick, C.E.;
Kathleen who married Arnold Wemp of Amherst Island; Marjory, Isabel, Harold
Hagerman, Frederick Silliman and Anna Lorean, all
at home. Mr. Neilson was
of a quiet retiring disposition, kind and charitable both in word and deed.
During almost a lifetime of constant intercourse the writer never heard him
utter one unkind or uncharitable word. As a business man he was shrewd, upright,
ablying, and has left an honourable
record. He had a faculty for training young men for business and has sent out
quite a number who are doing well. He held the
responsible offices of Past Master and Township Treasurer for many years. He
was trustee for a long time, and was secretary-treasurer of the Continuation
School from its inception. The neat little Anglican church and commodious
rectory are both monuments of his liberality and zeal for his church, for
although he was ably assisted by others, yet he was the moving spirit. He was church
warden and a delegate to the Synod on several occasions. He was Past Master
of Tanti Lodge, A.O.U.W. In politics he was a liberal. The funeral took
place on Tuesday, February 22nd at 2 p.m. to the Church of St.
Alban the Martyr, and was largely attended by the people of Amherst Island.
There were also a number present from Napanee, Fredericksburgh and Kingston.
His nephews were the pallbearers. His brethren of Tanti Lodge led in the
mournful procession, followed by the pupils of the Continuation School and
their teachers. All his nine living children were present except Mrs.
Thompson, who was ill and with Mrs. Neilson, followed the casket on which
were fragrant flowers wrought into appropriate forms and placed there by
loving hands. The rector, Rev.
J. Connolly Dixon, accompanied by Rev. Mr. McTear,
rector of Bath, met the procession at the church door and conducted the
bearers to the front, after which the solemn funeral service was read and
appropriate hymns sung, closing with “Come to Me and Rest.” The body was then placed in the vault for
interment. Canon Roberts,
Cataraqui, a former rector, drove all the way to be present at the last rite
of his former parishioner and friend, but unfortunately was not able to arrive
in time for the first part of the service. So ends the
active career of a man who for forty-seven years identified himself with the
best interests of the island, and who will be sadly missed for many a day. |

Neville, Mr.
& Mrs. Mitchell |
Obituary Since the last
issue of the STANDARD death has claimed among others as its victims two old
and highly respected residents, whose deaths occurred so nearly together that
it seemed as if ordained that they who had been so long and happily united in
life should not be parted in death.
The deaths referred to are those of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Neville,
which occurred on Monday and Thursday of last week. Mrs. Neville preceding her husband by the
three days indicated above. Mr.
Neville was born in Switzerville in the year 1813, and Mrs. Neville in North
Fredericksburgh about two years later.
Both had been in poor health for some time and the release from their
sufferings at last was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Neville was a man of more than ordinary
intelligence, one who might well have become conspicuous in the affairs of
any community, but he seems to have preferred reserving his energies for the
service of religious and benevolent enterprises. Many years ago he united with what is now
known as the Canada Methodist Church, in which body he became subsequently a
local preacher of ability much above the average of the class. He loved his religion well, and by his
daily life sought to set an example to all around him which
would win for it respect and lead others to embrace it. He also at various times and in many ways
has rendered valuable service to the temperance cause, of which he was long a
firm friend. In Mrs. Neville he had
fortunately a helpmate who thoroughly sympathized with his religious and
benevolent feelings and who gave him valuable assistance in all his
undertakings in their behalf. The
place that they have vacated in church and society affairs will not readily
be filled. Their presence, kindly
counsel, loving Christian encouragement and generous aid will be greatly
missed by many, who sincerely mourn their departure hence to their eternal
reward. Of a family of twelve children
with which their union was blessed, eight survive them and now fill honorable
positions. |

OBITUARY - In the death of
Ernest Stewart Newport, editor and publisher of the Deseronto Post, the
community has lost a good citizen and a bright, energetic worker. Though but 26 years old, he was well known
to the public and enjoyed a wide circle of friends. With determination to win, and increasing
labor, he gained a portion of that success which surely would have been his
if death had not claimed him so early.
His honesty, cheerfulness and forcefulness of purpose won for him the
respect of all that knew him. Mr. Newport served his apprenticeship with the
Napanee Beaver, and was later connected with The Daily British Whig,
Kingston. In 1915, he took over the
Deseronto Post, and raised that paper to its present standing. He was an active member of the Board of
Education in Deseronto, and took a prominent part in all public and church
movements. In 1917 he married Miss N.

South Fredericksburgh, on Saturday, September 27th, 1919, Arthur Frank
Ohlman, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ohlman, aged 27 years, 7 months and
10 days. Obituary - It was a sudden
shock to the community when one of South Fredericksburgh's most promising
young men as "picked off" in the person of Arthur Frank Ohlman,
younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Ohlman, after a short severe illness of
scarcely four days. Deceased was in
the best of health when he contracted Spinal Meningitis, and in spite of the
best of medical skill, passed peacefully away on Saturday afternoon, Sept.
27th, 1919. His mind was exceptionally clear to the very last, with the
exception of about an hour, when he sank into a deep sleep, (the first during
his illness), from which he never awoke, but just passed "over there
where the flowers are", which were his last words, expressing his desire
to be out of this world of pain. Among the floral
tributes was a beautiful spray from the On-We-Glide Orchestra, of which he
was a member. His casket was surrounded with flowers, while his soul revelled in the heavenly ones of his desire. He was only 27
years old, but his memory will live with those with whom he came in contact.
He leaves to mourn their loss, his father, mother, four sisters and one
brother. Mrs. Wm. Blackadder, Slash Road; Mrs. Arch. Hegadorn,

Norman O'Neil A sad accident occurred
at Hay Bay on Monday morning resulting in the death of Mr. Norman O'Neil, a
highly respected resident of that vicinity, in his 71st year. Deceased was

ago. Three daughters and two sons are left to mourn the loss of a kind and
loving father. The funeral will be held tomorrow (Thursday). Interment at

accident took place on Hay Bay on Monday morning, May 12, when Mr. Norman
O’Neil was killed. Mr. O’Neil was driving the tractor and must have taken a
weak spell and fell off and he was dragged for considerable distance by the
cultivator, which was fastened to the tractor. When discovered, life was
found to be extinct. The late Mr. O’Neil was in his seventy-first year and
for over twenty years had lived on the Bay. He was born at Tamworth and lived
for a time at Violet, later moving to his present home. His wife predeceased

MARY S.
OSTERHOUT - The Church and society of Frankfort have sustained a great loss
in the death of our dear sister, the beloved wife of Bro. William Osterhout, of this charge, one of our oldest and most highly
respected members of the Official Board, in the forty-third year of her
age. Her departure was very unexpected, being stricken down of inflammation on
the night of Friday, Jan. 14th.
She calmly passed away at an early hour on Sabbath morning, after a
little over twenty-four hours of great suffering. Our sister was of a bright and cheerful
disposition, which was improved by a full consecration to God and the work of
the Church; having
been converted in early life, she was ever ready to perform well her part
in behalf of the cause, and when the
call came she was found ready to go the way of all the earth without a
murmur. Before her departure she
called all the friends to her side to take a last earthly farewell, requiring
from each a promise to meet her in the better land, at the same time assuring
her heart-stricken husband that the time and way were short until they would
be reunited. Bro. Osterhout
is greatly broken down, this being the third companion taken from his fond
embrace, as well as several children.
Having acquired a competency of this world’s goods and provided well
for a large family, he and his departed companion had retired a little over a
year ago to a comfortable home in the village, where they expected to spend a
few happy years, and where our brother now is sad and alone, greatly cast
down but not forsaken. May the God of
all grace administer and comfort. We
laid her to rest, with due ceremony in the presence of a large concourse of
relatives and neighbors. [signed] H. McQuad. |

Mrs. Florence
Casey Ostrom - Widow of the late Thomas Marshall Ostrom, of Belleville and Toronto, daughter of the late Gilbert
S. Casey and Esther Casey, of Adolphustown, passed away suddenly at her home,
Piety Hill, Napanee, on October 10th last. Mrs. Ostrom spent her girlhood days in the Township of
Adolphustown, and latterly in school. She was well known in those days by a
large circle of friends in Napanee and Adolphustown and the country around.
After her marriage she moved to Toronto, where she spent most of her life. It
was her unfortunate experience to lose three of her children. She left her
surviving only one son, Mr. D.M. Ostrom, of
Toronto, who has visited his mother here on different occasions and who was
suddenly called to Napanee after his mother had passed away. The late Mrs. Ostrom was most attentive to her mother during her
mother's last years, which were unfortunately years of feebleness and
illness. Mrs. Ostrom was in very indifferent health during these years,
and she suffered a physical breakdown, and spent considerable time in the
Hospital in Toronto during the last winter, but she felt sufficiently recovered
in health to open her home in Napanee this Spring, and endeavored to attend
to her usual duties, and engaged in her work as a member of the Woman's
Auxiliary of St. Mary Magdalene's Church, and of the I.O.D.E. To those who
knew her intimately she appeared brightly alert to all the activities, both
local and general, and her companionship was an inspiration for her friends,
among whom she will be sadly missed. The funeral took
place in St. Mary Magdalene's Church on Thursday of last week, and was conducted
by the Rev. Mr. Dumbrille. The sympathy of
the community is extended to her son and his family, and relatives, in the
bereavement they have sustained. |

the 24th June, in the township of Sidney, of Hydrophobia, Miss Margaret M. Ostrom, 12 years, 5 months, and 16 days. The deceased was
bitten by a mad dog on or about the 14th May, but did not exhibit any
symptoms of madness till Thursday the 20th June, when she became deranged,
and would attempt to snap at almost every thing
that fell in her way, especially when water was presented to her. During the time she was seized with
madness, and the time she died, a period of only four days, she had several
lucid intervals, when she would converse with her friends, forgave the rabid
animal which bit her, and expressed a sincere wish to leave this world of
sorrow and woe. She wished that her
case might be published to the world.
The day preceding her death, the writer of this short sketch saw her,
and he never beheld such a sight. He
believes that a pamphlet describing her situation during her illness, is
preparing for publication. The Editors
of Newspapers in this Province are requested by her afflicted relatives to
insert this short obituary in their respective papers. |

OBITUARIES -
BELYAT OUTWATER On Thursday,
December 22nd, 1938, at his late residence, Suite 9, Clayton Apartments,
Young Street, Winnipeg, Man., Belyat Outwater, aged
72 years, beloved husband of Sarah Outwater, passed away. Interment was made in Brookside Cemetery,
Winnipeg. He had been in failing
health for about one year, but was able to be around up to within three days
from the time he was confined to his bed. Bill, as he was
familiarly known, was born at Hay Bay, Ontario, September 24th,
1866, and remained on the old home place until 1916, when he disposed of the
farm and came west to Goodeye, Sask. He entered the services of the Canadian
National Railway in whose employ he served fourteen years, at Central Butte
and Fort Qu’appele Sask., as baggageman. He retired from active service in 1932, and
moved to Winnipeg. He was a staunch
member of the former Methodist Church long before Church Union. His birthplace on the shores of the old Hay
Bay, Ont., a historical spot on account of the first Methodist meeting House
in Canada having been erected on its shores, this building still stands, and
has been kept in such a state of preservation, that memorial services are
still conducted periodically. The Rev. W. E.
Donnelly, Pastor of Young United Church, Winnipeg, conducted the service at
the Mordue Funeral Home on December 24th,
making particular mention of the historic birth place of the deceased,
emphasizing the excellent character of the U.E. Loyalists and paying a very
high tribute of respect to the departed.
Mr. Donnelly took his text from the 14th chapter of St.
John, verses 1 and 2: “In my Father’s
house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you, I go to
prepare a place for you, and if I go I will come again and receive you unto
myself, that where I am there ye may be also.” Mr. Donnelly’s
remarks were very sympathetic and comforting.
“Asleep in Jesus” was very beautifully sung by Mrs. Scott. The high esteem
in which the deceased was held was made manifest by the very numerous floral
tributes. Mr. Outwater
leaves to mourn his widow and two daughters, Alberta of Winnipeg and Mrs.
Harry Phillips of Ituna, Sask., also two sisters,
Mrs. Edward Dirby of Belleville, Ont., and Mrs. M.
Arnold, Chatham, Ont., and two grandchildren, Edna and Roy Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Outwater’s only son, Roy, died in Toronto, October 28th,
1918. |

DEATH OF MRS. S.
M. OUTWATER - On Saturday, July 13th in Adolphustown, departed
this life a dear old saint in the person of Mrs. S. M. Outwater, aged 85, and
on the following Monday morning, after service by the Rector, Rev. Canon
Roberts, in her late home, a large concourse testifying to the high regard in
which she was deservedly held, her “tired body” was laid in St. Alban’s
cemetery, beside that of her good husband who predeceased her a little over
two years. While friends and neighbors
deeply sympathize with the sorrowing relatives left behind, yet they cannot
but feel it a matter for contest, nay rejoicing, that these two old
wayfarers, after a short term of separation, are now reunited in the fair
land beyond the sea, and there continuing and that more effectively, their
work for God begun here for “Lo from earth’s imperfect labour He hath call’d them to His feet, There to work, where free from
failure, Work is sweet.” |
