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.
L. Windover, of Napanee, who is left to mourn his loss. |

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.

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.

DIED - On Monday, 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

Outwater, Belyat |
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

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.” |
