Palen,
Victoria (nee
Pierce) |
In Memorial
- The sudden death of Victoria, wife of J. Stanley Palen, of Waupoos, has
cast a terrible gloom over that community and elsewhere. The deceased lady was greatly beloved and
respected. Mrs. Palen was the third
daughter of John and Lydia Pierce, of
North Marysburgh. Her education was
obtained from Picton High School, Toronto and Ottawa Normal Schools. Her devotion to the cause of education
placed her to the front as a public school teacher. In her profession, it may be said, she had
few, if any superiors. From the days
of her lovely childhood she had been a constant inspiration to others. Her influence for good upon the young
people in her neighborhood was very marked.
She taught, not simply by word, but by act. We who knew and loved her, can recall that
gentle womanly presence, the loving voce, with sweet compelling power. She met death as she had met life, with
dignity and courage. She was a member
of the Church of England. Her funeral
on Sunday, Dec 21st, at St. John’s church, North Marysburgh, was
largely attended, though the weather was inclement. Rev. Mr. Kennedy and Canon Loucks
officiated. The loss occasioned by
Mrs. Palen’s death at the early age of thirty-seven, is keenly felt, and the
sorrowing husband, relatives and friends have the deep sympathy of
everyone. C.C.T. |

JOHN
PAINTER - The subject of this brief memoir was born in England in 1811 and
came to Canada in 1844. During the
time he was in England he was occupied on the farm, always finding plenty of
work, as he was a faith man. He was
brought up to the English Church, and for fifteen years previous to his
coming to Canada he was a singer in it.
Coming to Canada he came to Woodstock, and after a few days’ stay came
to Blanshard, where he lived till the time of his death. He and his faithful partner struggled hard
through many difficulties but never alone; for during the labors of Rev. Mr.
Codville, a Primitive Methodist, he was savingly converted to God and in his
struggles God’s presence was his greatest comfort. After his conversion to God he continued a
faithful member to the Primitive Methodist Church. For years previous to his departure he
suffered from a very severe affliction, which loosened his affections and
desires for this world and strengthened them for that land where no shadows
fall or afflictions are felt. He bore
his sufferings with Christian fortitude and courage, often stating without a
doubt that his peace was made with God, and that he was waiting God’s time.
He passed sweetly into rest on the 7th of Oct. 1885. [signed] E. A. Fear |

name of Wright and blows were exchanged. Wright afterwards induced James and
Alexander West to join him in pursuit of Parks, with whom he designed to
renew the quarrel. They met and West challenged Parks to fight, which the
latter declined. West then struck Parks and in falling, his head came in
contact with a sleigh and is supposed to have fractured his skull. West
followed the blow with others and about ten minutes after the fracas ended,
Parks is dead. West immediately fled. Nearly one hundred persons were
present, but allowed him to escape without attempting to prevent him. West is
about five feet ten inches high, stout built, red face, light hair and no
whiskers. Had on when he left a California hat, grey pantaloons and blue
frock or smock. He is supposed to have gone the road to Kingston by the back

The
Late Jason Parks It
is a sad duty to record the death of Jason Parks, late of North Fredericksburgh,
and father of Irvine Parks, treasurer of Lennox. Deceased was born on the old
homestead and left four years ago with his wife to spend their declining
years with their grandson Herb. C. Parks, at Berkeley, Cal., at whose home he
passed peacefully away on Oct. 23rd. He was a life long reformer, a devoted
husband and a kind father, and having lived a consistent christian life.
Deceased was for years a councillor for the united townships of North and
South Fredericksburgh, and after the separation was elected reeve of the
township of North Fredericksburgh, and served in the county council, after
which he retired into private life. He was a son of Nathaniel Parke (the name
having been since), son of Capt. Parke, one of the U.E. loyalists that landed
at Adolphustown. Deceased was a member of Capt. Casey's troop during the
rebellion of 1837-38. Deceased married Miss Mary Ann Jackson, who accompanied
him to California, and died there three years ago. Death
is the wind up of all things. It is my sad duty to close this letter with
recording the death of Jason Parks, late of North Fredericksburgh. He has
lived for the past four years at Berkely, California, with his grandson,
Herbert C. Parks, at whose home he passed peacefully away a few weeks ago. He
was a son of Captain Parks, one of the U.E. Loyalists that landed at
Adolphustown. Deceased was a member of Capt. Casey's troop during the
rebellion of '37-'38. Irvine Parks, a son of the above, has the discharge of
his grandfather, Captain N. Parks, from Her Majesty's Provincial Regiment of

Late Marshall Parks Mr.
Marshall Parks, for many years a conductor on the old Bay of Quinte Railway,
the Canadian Northern Railway, and latterly the Canadian national Railway,
passed away last Saturday at the home of his brother-in-law, George Greer,
Napanee, after a lengthy illness. His
funeral was conducted at Mr. Greer’s home on Monday afternoon by Rev. P. T.
Richards of Grace United Church and at the vault in Riverside cemetery, the
Masonic Order conducted their service for the dead. In the spring Mr. Parks’ body will be
buried at Riverside cemetery. The
late Mr. Parks retired from active railway service about twelve years ago and
since that time had spent the greater part of his time with Mr. Greer and his
sister, Mrs. Greer. Several winters he
spent in California with his son. Mr.
Parks was well known, and very popular with a large number of people who came
in contact with him when travelling on his trains during the forty-seven
years he served as conductor. He
was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Parks and was born just over 83 years
ago in Rawden Township in Hastings.
When still very young his parents moved to Prince Edward County near
Picton, for a few years, and when he was about 18, they came to Napanee. When
Mr. Parks was 22 he married and went to live at Deseronto, at which time he
entered the employ of the Bay of Quinte Railway under Mr. H. B. Sherwood of
Napanee, as a conductor. When the Bay
of Quinte was taken over by the Canadian Northern he remained with the
company and continued also when the Canadian Northern became part of the
Canadian National. His runs were
mostly in the Bay of Quinte district extending from Kingston to Picton and he
thus became very familiar with a large number of the citizens of the
district. His
wife died about 14 years ago and after his retirement, the next year he came
to Napanee to reside. He
leaves one son, Herbert in California, who expected to be in town for his
father’s funeral, but was unable to arrive in time because of trouble with
the plane in which he was flying to Chicago.
He expects to come to Napanee in about two weeks time. Mr.

On
Tuesday, Feb. 20th, Milo Parks, the oldest resident of Hay Bay,
died at the ripe age of eighty-seven years, four months and seventeen days.
Deceased was of U.E. Loyalist descent and son of the late Capt. C. Parks, who
came to this country in those troublous times and settled in the Hay Bay
district. Deceased
leaves, besides an aged widow, four sons, A.C. Parks on the homestead;
Charles B. and John F. on farms close by and James C. in Kansas City.
Deceased was a man of exemplary habits, a kind and thoughtful neighbor, whose
deeds of love will live for many a day in the hearts of his neighbors. The
funeral will take place today at one o’clock, to the Hay Bay Church, thence
to the Napanee Cemetery vault. One
of the oldest and most highly respected residents of North Fredericksburgh
died at his residence, on the north shore of Hay Bay, on Tuesday 29th
inst., at the ripe age of 87 years 4 months and 17 days. He was one of the
very last of the second generation of U.E. Loyalist pioneers of the township
and a capital specimen of that hardy and energetic race which ought long to
live in the memories of the people. Mr. Parks was born, lived all his long
and active life and died on the same farm, -a home hewed out of the
wilderness of Upper Canada by his father Cyrenus Parks, who came here with
the first of the early British refugees in 1784. The same farm has now been
occupied by four hardy generations of men. The whole locality was long
popularly known as 'the Parks neighborhood. The deceased was the youngest of
twenty children by the same father who was twice married, and they nearly all
lived to become active men and women. The descendants of the original Cyrenus
Parks are now numbered by the hundreds, we believe. Of the deceased it could
well be said "he was one of nature's noblest work, an honest man,"
- one of those whose word was deemed as good as his bond by all who knew him;
a man of whom it could be well and truly said "you always know where to
find him,' in all matters, in business, in politics and the church and in all
moral movements. He was a man 'diligent in business, fervent in spirit,
serving the lord', who truly feared God and honored the King. Though a man of
very quiet and unpretending habits he occupied a very influential position
for many of his active years. In municipal affairs he was a leading man in
the township council and represented it in the County council; in politics he
was one of the old reliables of the Conservative party; in the Methodist
church he was a trusted 'stand-by' for two generations; his home was always
open to ministers, Christian workers and to his friends and neighbors - a man
'given to hospitality' in its truest sense. He was noted, in his quiet way,
for his liberality in all the works of his church, honoring God with his
substance, and it is not to be wondered at therefore, that in business
affairs, he was always well prospered and enjoyed in his declining years, the
satisfaction of seeing his sons all successful and prosperous business men.
About sixty-five years ago he married Miss Bathsheba Lazier, of Prince Edward
County, also a member of a large and well known UEL family, who was to him,
in all his long life and down to his very dying hours, a helpmate indeed. She
still remains in good health, and well in possession of her mental and
physical facilities though now past the eighty fifth milestone of an active
life, and sixty-fifth of a happy wifehood. Their surviving children are
Messrs John F., Albert C., and Charles B. S Parks, all well known farmers in
their native township, and Mr. James Parks, who has for many years occupied a
position in Kansas City post office. Their one daughter, Mrs. Rosetta Lucas,
died in Kansas years ago. The funeral took place yesterday at the Hay Bay
Methodist Church, near his home, and the body was deposited in Napanee vault. |

Obituary
- Ralph Parks It
was on the 19th day of February last that the peaceful community of South Fredericksburgh
was shocked by the news that travelled over the busy wires that Ralph Parks
had been seriously injured by the falling of a large tree which struck him. Fortunately
four brothers and the father witnessed the accident and immediately rendered
first aid. It was at once observed that the accident was a serious one, and
they promptly took him to his home and summoned Dr. Hall, who at once ordered
his immediate removal to the hospital at Kingston. A hurried consultation
with Dr. Mundell resulted in an operation which was skillfully performed, but
in spite of the best medical skill and unstinted nursing, care and kindness,
Ralph passed into the Great Beyond early in the morning of the 23rd of
February. Rapidly
as the news of his accident spread, still more so did the news of his death
when a whole community for many miles distant were plunged into deep mourning
for one they knew and loved so much. Yes!
It was Ralph Parks, a boy from one of the best homes in the country. A boy
who reflected those pious principles and all those strong and yet gentle
features of noble manhood which were so faithfully inculcated by loving
christian parents into his growing and expanding nature, that made him of
more than ordinary value as a man among men. Ralph
was not rash in his decisions nor unduly speculative in his undertakings for
he possessed the rare ability of a calm and calculative meditation which
saved him from many cares and sorrows so common to others. In no instance is
this more plainly seen than in relation to his marriage. It
was on the 7th April, 1920, when 32 years of age, he married Laura, the
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Mellow, of Gretna. While this was not
everybody's business, yet everybody rejoiced over this happy union. It was
felt by all that a more beautiful and ideal example of conjugal relationship
could not be witnessed and on that ever memorable day this happy couple were
united in wedlock in the presence of a host of admiring friends at the
bride's home. It was immediately following this that Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Parks
commenced to make their home on their new farm at Hawley. It is not possible
in this brief sketch to express the wholesome devotion of these young people
to the task of their life, starting out as they had done on a new farm with
everything to make for the present and future too. One thing, however, must
be said to their credit, and that is they did not either neglect or forget
their obligation to the church, as should always be the case. They in the
fear of God put first things first. Laura was organist at Hawley Church, a
post which she faithfully and lovingly filled. Ralph was a member of the
Official Board, was Secretary of the Trustee Board and Secretary of the
Sunday School, and all of these duties were faithfully performed, the value
of which will never be forgotten. The
funeral service was held at the home of the deceased's parents, where the body
was brought, and notwithstanding the bitter cold weather, hundreds of people
gathered to pay their last respects. Pastor Hoffman conduced the service,
assisted by the Rev. W.H. Truscott, and so there closed one of the saddest
chapters in the history of South Fredericksburgh. There
is an unending expression of sympathy for the young widow by everybody; also
for Mr. and Mrs. Archie Parks, the parents, together with the five brothers
and two sisters. |

It
is with sadness that we are called upon to chronicle the demise of William J.
Parks, who passed away early yesterday morning, at the age of thirty-two
years, four months and one day. Deceased had been very poorly for the last
six months, and had been slowly getting worse, until Thursday afternoon, when
he took a sudden change for the worse. Deceased was a young man, liked by all
he came in contact with, and his sudden departure from this world of care and
sorrow has cast a gloom over the immediate vicinity. His last hours were
spent in peace and happiness, and he died trusting in the Redeemer. The
sympathy of the community at large is extended to his grief stricken
relatives, who deeply feel the loss of such a good brother. The funeral,
which was largely attended, took place this afternoon at three o'clock, and
his remains were laid at rest in the Huffman cemetery. |

- At Camden East, on Sunday, Jan 10th, 1915, Herman H. Parrott,
aged 62 years. OBITUARY
- The death of Herman H. Parrott, of Camden East, on the 10th of
this month, removes from this community a man who will be very much
missed. Mr. Parrott was born and lived
on the old homestead, near Switzerville, until fifteen years ago when he
moved with his father and mother to Camden East in order to be near his only
sister, Mrs. L. H. Stover. Since his
removal he was engaged in handling stock through this section. He was a close and careful buyer, but his
straightforwardness soon won for him the confidence and esteem of the whole
community. He was a member of the
Methodist church and a regular attendant at its services. He was also a strong temperance man, who
always gave his vote to abolish the bar, and his personal influence to
impress the young men he came in contact with never to form the habit of
drink. Herman, as he was called by his
friends, was a quiet unassuming man, but his fondness of humor and pleasant
helpfulness made him a great favorite with his friends both old and young. He
devoted nearly all his life to the loving care of his father and mother, who
lived to a great age; his father being both deaf and blind for years and very
helpless. To some sons that would have
been a great burden and care, but not so to Herman. It seemed to him a pleasure to look after
his dear old parents and minister to their wants, answering every whim and
notion, and doing everything in his power to make them as comfortable and
happy as possible. In fact his life in
this respect furnished one of the most beautiful illustrations of devotion we
have ever witnessed. He
was confined to his bed about three months.
During his illness he never murmured, but seemed perfectly resigned to
God’s will. He sent for a number of
his old associates and asked them to meet him in Heaven. For the last six weeks he was unable to
speak. All the care and attention
willing hands and loving heart could give him was of no avail. He leaves to mourn his loss an only sister,
Mrs. L. H. Stover, of Camden East, whom he loved very dearly, and three
brothers, Emerson, of Saskatoon; Byron
of Blackie, Alberta, and Arthur, on the old homestead. The
funeral services, which were held in the Methodist Church, Camden East, were
very largely attended evidencing the esteem in which he was held by the whole
community. |

Patton, Archdeacon |
ARCHDEACON
PATTON, D.D. - The late much lamented Archdeacon Patton was born of English
parentage about the year 1806, in the County of Donegal, Ireland, and the son
of Major Patton of the British army.
He came with his parents at an early age to Canada, and the Patton
family settled on the Bay of Quinte, in the township of Adolphustown. He, in his early years, was educated (in
part at least) under the Rev. J. Braithvaite, M.A., Rector of Chambly, in the
province of Quebec, who was an eminent teacher in those early days of
provincial educational matters. In or
about the 1829, he was ordained successively deacon and priest by the then
Bishop of Quebec, (Canada’s only bishop at that period) the Hon. Right
Reverend Charles James Stewart, D. D., and was appointed to the then mission
of Kemptville, where he laboured many years very successfully as its first
rector; and no one can visit that interesting parish, but must note the
enduring effects of the pastoral zeal and energetic efforts of that first
able and judicious parochial administrator.
In 1846, he was appointed by the late Bishop in Toronto in succession
to himself and such other zealous men as Salter J. Mountain, Archbold, and
Lindsay, Rector of Cornwall. Here, for
a period of over twenty-five years he laboured and successfully too,
following directly in the wake of such great missionary spirits, and
contributed largely to make Cornwall the model parish of the Diocese of
Ontario in order, liberality and zealous parochial efforts. Whilst Cornwall and the whole of the
Diocese of Ontario was a portion of that of Toronto, he was latterly Rural
Dean of the Eastern District, which position he continued to hold until the
new one of the former was created.
Here his zeal and ability were pre-eminent, as in other matters. About fourteen years ago the degree of
Doctor of Civil Law, or D. C. L., was conferred upon him by the University of
Trinity College, Toronto. In 1871, he
was unanimously elected Prolocutor of the Provincial Synod assembling in
Montreal, and in succession to the Rev. Dr. Beaven, of Toronto, who had
previously held the office at each session since its constitution in
1861. Again, in the special sessions
held in 1872 and 1873, which resulted in the election of the Missionary
Bishop of Algoma, he most ably filled the Prolucutor’s chair as at
first. On the death of the late Rector
of Belleville, the Rev. John Grier, M.A., in October, 1871, Archdeacon
Patton, was nominated to the Rectory, and he was inducted as such on the 30th
of November of the same year. During
his brief tenure of office in Belleville, the beautiful Grier memorial window
in St. Thomas’ Church, and the new and elegant ecclesiastical rectory are
momentoes of his zeal and energy, and the noble Bishop Strachan Memorial
Church, in its origination and construction was one of the latest of his
zealous efforts at Cornwall, previous to his leaving it. The foundation stone
of this structure was laid in 1869. It
is now one of the most stately and beautiful ecclesiastical churches in the
Diocese. - Intelligencer |

HARVEY PAUL - On Sunday afternoon, November 25th, 1917, J. Harvey
Paul died at his residence, north of Newburgh. Oldest son of James and Hannah Wood Paul,
he was born April 1st, 1841 at the homestead occupied by Joseph
Paul. Educated at Newburgh Grammar
School, he obtained a teacher’s certificate and taught school. He also assisted on his father’s farm until
he went to California during the gold rush in 1862. He returned after five years’ sojourn in
the mining camps, where he had many companions. He had fever at San Francisco, when his
brother, Will, joined him there. Will
was kidnapped and taken on a whaling vessel.
He was married on September 9th, 1868 to Mary Dunlop by
Rev. James Gray. He and his bride
moved to a farm near Lonsdale, where they lived until 1875, when he bought
his grandmother Woods’ farm, which has now been occupied by a member of the
family for nearly a century. He joined
the Methodist Church at Lonsdale in 1869, and has continued a faithful member
of the Wesley Church until his death.
Of a kind disposition and honest as the day, fair in his dealings, a
faithful husband and a loving father. He leaves a large number of relatives and a
host of friends to mourn his loss.
Quiet and unostentatious, he believed in family and private prayer and
bible study. He was also a member of
the Church Board at Wesley. The
minister was always a welcome visitor to his home. He is survived by his widow, nine sons and
two daughters. George B., electrical

that expert medical attendance and skilful nursing could accomplish, until
Sunday, at 2.20 p.m., when he passed peacefully away. On
Tuesday, November 27th, his Pastor, Rev. E. Farnsworth, conducted
a short service at the house at one o’clock, and a service at the Methodist
Church, Newburgh, at two o’clock. The

He said Brother Paul was a genuine kindly Christian. He had hosts of friends, but he had not

- At Camden on Sunday, 10th October 1909, William M. Paul, aged 66
years and 8 months. WILLIAM
MATTHEW PAUL - At his home, near {ripped page}, after four days’
illness {ripped page} of
October 10th, 1909, there passed peacefully to his rest, one of
Camden’s most successful farmers, Mr. Wm. M. Paul, in his 67th
year. Deceased was born on the old
home farm, now occupied by Joseph Paul, near Newburgh, March 24th,
1843. He was the second son in the
family of eight sons and four daughters of the late Jas. Paul. He received his education at Newburgh
Grammar school, obtaining a first-class certificate and also succeeded in
passing his exams in Civil Engineering.
Mr.
Paul was a man of unusual intelligence, having read and travelled much. When nineteen years of age, his health
being delicate, he took a trip to San Francisco. While there he and some of his companions were decoyed on board a
whaling vessel, and there forcibly detained.
When Mr. Paul found himself kidnapped and the vessel had set sail, he
made the best of the situation and went manfully to work to learn the
management of the ship and soon became a favorite with master and men. After six months whale-fishing he was
allowed to go ashore at a South American port, where he secreted himself
until his ship left port, then by the directions of Spaniards, whose language
he could not speak he found a British ship bound for Australia, on which he
took passage and from thence he made his way homeward via Scotland and
England, visiting and studying many of the historic towns, especially
Westminster Abbey. He arrived home,
after an absence of four years. His
journeyings had thoroughly restored his health, and on Nov. 5th,
1872, he married Elizabeth Hinch, and settled on a farm near Wesley church,
where he has been so faithful a worker.
He made a life study of his Bible, and was a capable class leader and
representative of the Wesley appointment, at the General Board of Newburgh
Circuit. But in the Sunday School was
where Mr. Paul did his most effective work.
In him each child felt it had a personal friend and companion, and
each juvenile ambition was to do or be “like Mr. Paul,” and it is small
wonder that he and Mr. A. V. Price, (now retired), have gathered around them
the largest Sunday School on the Newburgh Circuit. As
energetic physically as mentally, his death came as a shock to all who knew
him, so gracefully was he growing old, one scarcely realized he was nearing
the allotted threescore and ten years.
The widow and sons have the sympathy of the community in their loss of
a wise, kind and loving husband and father.
The surviving sons are Walter and Norman, of Hinch; Vernon and Percy,
at home. The brothers are Harvey and
Joseph, of Newburgh; Stuart, of Bath;
Shirley and Robert, of Saskatchewan, and Henry, of Kingston. The sisters are Mrs. Matilda Clancy,
Newburgh; Miss Eliza Paul, Prince Albert, and Miss Hannah Paul, missionary to
the Tsimpshean Indians at Port Simpson, B.C., now home on furlough. Rev. M. E. Sexsmith, his pastor, between
whom and deceased existed a warm friendship and Christian fellowship,
preached an eloquent sermon from II Cor., 4:16. |

- The Kingston Whig of last week reports the death of Charles Penner,
Esq., of Kingston, aged 88 years. Mr.
Penner was well known and highly respected by many readers of the
EXPRESS. He was a gentleman of wealth
and liberality and much kindness of heart.
For years Mr. Penner owned a farm in Adolphustown, where he spent his
summers, and took great satisfaction in introducing improved implements and
systems of husbandry, as well as superior breeds of farm stock. There is no doubt but the system of farming
in Adolphustown, and in the county was much improved by the influence he
exerted. He was a fine type of the
real “English Gentleman” and will long be remembered with pleasure by those
who knew him. |

THE
LATE MRS. PERCEVAL - Was the Daughter of Leading Family of County Down.
- Old friends attended the burial
service in St. Paul’s church on Saturday afternoon for the late Mrs. Harriett Perceval, who
passed away on Friday at the age of ninety-three years and eleven
months. Canon FitzGerald made a very
touching reference to the deceased venerable lady, whose life, he said, had
been one of sweetness and gentleness.
Her home for years was the centre of many of the activities of St.
Paul’s church. Canon FitzGerald said
that among the old friends who had come to look upon the face of the deceased
for the last time was an aged man who when a boy had lived near the family
home of Mrs. Perceval at Echlinville, County Down, Ireland. He said that Mrs. Perceval, who was then
Miss Echlin, the daughter of one of the leading families of the county, was a
beautiful young lady, and on Sundays he used to watch for her arrival at the
parish church. She would drive up in
a coach-and-four, and the footman
would procede her into the church carrying her books to the family pew. That was about seventy-five years ago, and
the memory of those far-off days lingered with the old man whom Canon
FitzGerald said he brought to the Perceval home on Brock street to see the
lady of boyhood memory who had lived to such a ripe old age. |

Perry, Ebenezer |
THE
LATE E. PERRY, ESQ. - SOME PARTICULARS OF HIS USEFUL LIFE From
a very full and eulogistic sketch of the life of the late Ebenezer Perry,
Esq., reeve of Sheffield, published in the Tamworth Echo we glean the
following particulars: - Mr.
Perry was twice married, first to Isabel Vrooman on the 22nd of
Feb. 1826, and lastly to Jennet Bartles, 10th Aug., 1856. By his first wife he had eight sons and two
daughters, all of whom are married but one, Thomas. One daughter is married to Wilson Clark and
the other to Peter F. Carscallen. The
second marriage brought no issue, and the second wife, now widowed, is the
recipient of much sympathy. He
entered public life in 1840 as councillor, being elected to that office in
and for Ernesttown, and remained continuously in the Council up to 1858. In 1856 he was appointed Crown Lands Agent,
and took up his residence in Tamworth.
He was elected reeve of Sheffield in 1861, and was elected warden in
1872. Altogether he filled the office
of Reeve for Sheffield thirteen years and with great credit to himself and
profit to the municipality; and
closed an eventful life retaining the confidence of the public and wearing
the honor of that office, having been elected last January without any effort
on his part. During
his county councillorship many important questions were fought out and set at
rest; among them the separation of Lennox and Addington from Frontenac, and
establishing the County Town; there
having been a keen strife between Napanee and Newburgh for tit. He gave his vote and influence in favor of
Napanee, and it is mainly due to him that Napanee got it. His
supervision of Sheffield matters in the council was most successful, and
distinguished him as a man of sense, and devoted to the work of improvement
and building up. His great influence
in the county council enabled him to get large sums of money on county roads;
sometimes obtaining out of the county funds grants for county roads in
Sheffield of a greater amount than the County rate paid into the
treasurer. So that he was “father of
the Township” (as he was often styled) in many respects. In
the election of 1872, for the Ontario Legislature, Mr. Perry was brought out
as a candidate for the riding of Addington, and was backed by all the old and
influential politicians of the riding; but the young men chose Mr. Deroche,
the present member, and as the Conservative candidate, Mr. Hooper, was a
young man, and the boys of both parties were spoiling for a fight, Mr. Perry
magnanimously waved his superior claim in Mr. Deroche’s favor and that after
issuing his address. That address
showed how deeply he had the true interests of the province at heart, and
especially this portion of it. Had he
been elected he would have proven his ability commensurate with the wider
field. He was by nature a politician and so keen in debate that few cared to
do him battle. All through life he was
a Reformer and an active worker in that party. |

affection, which finally terminated her life, and which she endured with
Christian patience & resignation to the will of heaven. Mrs.
Perry was born in the Province of Massachusetts; and came with her husband

affection 58 years; seven children; a numerous train of grand children and
great grand children; and a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Her
loss is extensively felt. In the various relations of life, as a wife, a
mother, a sister, a neighbour, and a member of civil and Christian society,
her exemplary conduct entitled her to the esteem of all who knew her. In
early life she embraced the religion of Jesus Christ, and was a member of the
Methodist Church about 40 years, during which period she gave practical
evidence of the sincerity of her profession. She was distinguished for
charity and hospitality. Her doors were always open to the weary pilgrim.
Like the Shunaninite in the days of Elisha, in concurrence with her
hospitable, pious husband, she often furnished for the missionary 'man of
God' a chamber by the wall, with a bed, a table, a chair, and a candlestick,
that, when passing that way, he might turn in and lodge there and eat bread,
as the Prophet did of old; and, for many years, her house was an occasional
chapel for religious worship. While able, she was a strict attendant upon the
appointed ordinances and means of grace. Having, by her example, taught
surviving friends how to live, she was enabled by Divine grace to teach them
the more difficult lesson, how to die. She left the world in a triumph of
faith. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." |

OBITUARY
– J. RUD PERRY – Universal consternation was expressed in Napanee on Tuesday
afternoon last when it was learned that Mr. J. Bud Perry had died suddenly at
Strathmore, Alberta. Deceased and Mr. J. M. Bogart left about two weeks ago
for the Northwest with a large consignment of young cattle. They reached their destination about forty
miles east of Calgary, without mishap, and all was apparently going
well. On Tuesday afternoon three
telegrams arrived at the same hour, one from deceased stating that his cold
was better and the cattle were grazing near Strathmore. The second was from
Mr. Bogart, stating that Mr. Perry had died that morning, and a third from A.
B. Perry, Regina, who had also been notified of his brother’s death. Deceased was suffering from a severe cold
when he left Napanee, and it is most probable pneumonia set in and caused his
sudden death. Mr. Perry was a victim
of heart trouble which complication no doubt produced the suddenly fatal
result. Mr. J. Rud. Perry was a son of
the late Wm. Perry, of Violet, and leaves a bereaved wife and two daughters;
also a brother, Commissioner A. I. Perry, Regina, of the Mounted Police and
Mrs. W. A. Rockwell, Napanee and Mrs. Isaac Fraser, Ernesttown and Mrs.
Leonard Davy, Pennelville, N.Y., half sisters. Heart failure carried off three
brothers: Rev. Nathan Perry, Ludlow,
Vermont; Daniel Perry and Edwin Perry,
Violet. Deceased was a civil engineer
and engaged in his profession for years in the Northwest, assisting in the
survey of the main line of the Canada Pacific . He spent several years in Northern British
Columbia, and in the Yukon as a miner, and was a man of wide experience, and
a most entertaining conversationalist and companion. For the past four years he engaged in
cattle raising, and last year sold his large ranch at Carstairs, Alberta, and
returned to Napanee to reside. Mrs. Perry and her daughters, Augusta and
Pearl, as well as the bereaved relatives, have the sympathy of all our
citizens in this their hour of trial.
His brother, Commissioner Perry left Calgary with the remains on
Wednesday midnight, and will not likely arrive in Napanee until Sunday
night. The funeral will probably be held
at his late residence on Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock. A despatch received yesterday stated Mr.
Perry died suddenly of heart failure. |

Geo. Perry There
passed to her rest at Gretna on March 15th, one of the neighborhood's finest
christian characters, in the person of Mrs. Geo. Perry. Mrs.
Perry had been suffering for some time with pernicious anaemia, and the
grippe took hold of her and in her weakened condition could not throw it off.
However, her last illness was a lesson to all who beheld her patience and
faith in God. She never murmured or complained, but was ready to accept God's
mandate and obey the summons when it came. Mrs.
Perry was born in 1861 at Hay Bay, her maiden name being Mary Catherine
Quackenbush and she was the last surviving member of that family. She
received her early education at Hay Bay, and in early life took God as her
guide. She was married to Mr. Geo. Perry on Jan. 27th, 1885 by the Rev. Mr.
Bates, of Napanee, and their union was blessed with two children, Alma, at
home, and Mrs. Edward Hambly, Gosport. These, with the sorrowing husband,

at North Fredericksburgh on Monday, March 15th, 1920, Mary
Katherine, beloved wife of George W. Perry, aged 58 years and 6 months. The

William
Hawley Perry, Esq., - one of the old and highly respected residents of this
county, died at the residence of his son, Mr. J. Rud Perry, C.E., here on
Monday morning last, after a brief sickness of four days, aged 87 years. Mr.
Perry was born in Ernesttown on the 10th of November 1810, and spent all his
life time in his native township. He was a man of great energy and industry
and did well his share in building up this county and making it what it is.
His father, Daniel Perry, was also a life long resident of the same township,
a U.E. Loyalist, and well-known and successful farmer. He had a family of
nine children, of whom the deceased was the last survivor. When
Mr. Perry was yet a young man in his teens he bought from the Crown an
uncleared farm at what is now the Village of Violet, on which he built a log
house, such as nearly all his neighbors had at that time. On that farm he
spent all the active days of his very busy life. Being a man of much energy
he also engaged in other lines of business. At one time, in company with his
brother, the late A.B. Perry, Esq., he owned and carried on a saw mill and a
grist mill in the same locality. He had an interest in large contracts in
building, years ago, the Addington Government Colonization road, and the
large bridge across the Madawaska River, at what is now the Village of
Combermere and also in the carpenter work of our County Court House here in
Napanee over thirty years ago. He was for a time a member of the council of
Ernesttown and took an active interest in municipal and political affairs. He
also represented the township in the county council. In politics he was a
Liberal and did much to assist in the elections of David Roblin and the
earlier elections of Sir Richard Cartwright in this county. He was also an
active temperance man and took a prominent part in the old Dunkin Act
contests in Ernesttown in the early sixties. He was nearly a life long member
of the Methodist church and took an active interest in all that pertained to
its work. He often referred to the fact that he was converted at the age of
15 years, under the ministration of Father Healy, one of the pioneer
Methodist preachers, at the old "Fourth Concession Chapel," the
second Methodist church built in Upper Canada. He always remained a faithful
member thereafter, and was at his regular place in the church here the Sunday
previous to his death. Only a few Sunday evenings before he fell pretty
heavily in leaving the church and the injuries he then received, no doubt,
hastened his end. He remained on his farm till a few months ago when he left
it to spend the remainder of his days with his son, Mr. J. Rud Perry of John
st. Mr.
Perry was twice married, first to a daughter of the late Nathan Fellows, of
Ernesttown and a sister of James Fellows, Esq., of East street. She died many
years ago leaving some children. He afterwards married Eleanor, daughter of
Capt. Daniel Fraser, who was a native of the locality of violet, and who
survives him. Though now over 80 years of age she was constantly at his bed
side from his first sickness until his eyes were closed in death. After he
ceased to be able to speak the deceased by his eyes, with their looks, and
kindly smiles, gave indication of his loving recognition of his faithful life
companion. His end was very gentle and peaceful and such as Lord chesterfield
said to a young sceptic, "See how a Christian can die." Mr.
Perry had nine children, only five of whom survive him. these are Martha,
Mrs. W.A. Rockwell, of John street; Sarah, wife of Isaac Fraser, of
Ernesttown; Electa, wife of Rev. Leonard Davy, of Pennelville, N.Y.; J. Rud,
of Napanee, and Major A.B., of the North West Mounted Police, who has
returned from his trip to England and Ireland, where he was in charge of the
N.W.M.P. during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebration, but was taken ill in
Montreal on his return and was unable to be present at the deathbed or
funeral. Two of his children, Mrs. James F. Madden, York road, and Edwin died
within the past year or two. The
funeral services were held at his late residence on Tuesday afternoon and
were of a private character; the body being deposited in the vault here, but
will be buried in the violet cemetery, beside those of several members of the
family. The services were conducted by his late pastor, Rev. W. Coombe, of
Violet. Dr. Crothers, Rev. W. Limbert, Selby, and Rev. E. S. Shorey also
assisted. |

OBITUARY
- ROBERT PHILLIPS - for years, principal of Napanee Public and High Schools,
died at Fergus, Ont., on Sunday, 26th, aged 78 years. Mr. Phillips
was, away back in the sixties and for years previous to that, one of most
successful teachers and one of the most respected citizens of this county. He
came from Scotland when a young man, and was at first employed in Squire
Asselstine's factory on Mill Creek, a few miles below Odessa. He was then
induced to take his first school. That was about in 1842 and he taught there
three years. He then went to Bath and taught successfully there for six
years. In 1855 he was induced to come to Napanee and take charge of the
Grammar School here. The school buildings were then located on Robert street,
just back of where the Western Methodist church now stands. The trustees here
then were Dr. Carey, chairman; John Benson, secretary; John Stevenson, Jas.
Blakely, Allan Templeton and John Gibbard. All are now gone but our venerable
townsman, John Gibbard. Napanee was then a village of 1,400 inhabitants, and
some of our now leading townsmen in Napanee and the county were among his
pupils. He continued to teach here until 1867, when he voluntarily retired,
much to the regret of the townspeople. He moved to Fergus, where he has ever since
lived. He was also a leading spirit in the Presbyterian church here and took
an active interest in the building of the present church. He was a man very
highly respected and much beloved, and did well his duty in his day and
generation. (**Beaver Aug 31 1900) |

February, 1886. She was baptized by
the Rev. Richard Whiting, now President of the Montreal Conference. She was surrounded by the influences of a
religious home, and when yet a child accepted Christ as her Saviour, under
the ministry of the late Rev. J. B. Howard.
She subsequently lost to some extent the evidence of her acceptance
with God, but in a series of revival services conducted by the Rev. John
Philp, M.A., during his pastorate in Wesley Church, there was restored unto
her the joy of God’s salvation, and she united with the Church. On the 26th of November, 1884,
she was married to Mr. Henry Philp, and the union was one which promised long
years of happiness, but alas ! in the hour of deepest joy, a dark cloud
overshadowed the home, and the young wife and mother was told that medical
skill could do no more, and that she was already in the valley. She was neither terrified nor
agitated. As the writer and her
relatives met in the chamber of death, and, at her request, dedicated her
babe to God in Christian baptism, many were the words of faith and victory
which fell from her lips. With a full
clear voice she sang, “I’m going home to die no more,” the same words which her sainted father
sang on his death-bed. It was my
mournful privilege to impress the lessons of her life and death upon the
minds and hearts of a large congregation in Wesley Church (Hamilton), from the
words of the prophet, “Her sun is gone
down while it was yet day.”

FANNY
PHIPPEN – Just three months ago, the late lamented William Phippen died, and
now the family have suffered a second terrible bereavement in the death of
the eldest daughter, Fanny Phippen, a noble young woman. She was laid in the vault at Sandhurst on
Sunday last, the 12th, inst., amid a large concourse of deeply
sorrowing relatives and friends. Miss
Phippen was deservedly beloved and valued by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed by her family,
her church, and by the whole community; for one more useful, more unselfish,
or more charitable it would be hard to find in all the land. Her funeral sermon was preached in St.
Paul’s church, Sandhurst, by the Rev. R. S. Forneri, on Sunday morning, from
the text, “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” a text, the preacher
said, suggested by an observation of the deceased on her death bed. “Why should I fear death,” she said, “it is
only like going from one room to another of my Father’s house.” The sermon was devoted to the expanding of
this beautiful and consoling idea, which embodied the truth, that earth and
heaven and paradise, the world visible and the world invisible are only so
many shadows of our Father’s house. In
the course of the sermon the preacher described the Christian character of
the departed. “She had remembered her
Creator, he said, in the days of her youth, and consecrated her earliest
years to Christ. She had so numbered
her days as to have accomplished life’s great end while it was yet morning,
and hence she met the early summons to depart, and death’s awful conflict
with a heart sweetly subdued by grace, with a faith in God which many waters
could not quench, and with a hope of glory and blessedness to be realized in
heaven, which shone out full and bright over the valley of the shadow of
death, and cheered her passage through it.” Cold,
cold lies the sod on a heart once as warm As
ever to earth was given, And
sadly and wild moans the winter’s storm, On
as gentle a breast and comely a form, As
ever seemed moulded for Heaven. |

On Monday
morning came the sad news from Kingston of the death of Miss Mabel Pixley,
second oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner Pixley, after only a few
days’ illness with scarlet fever, aged sixteen years and ten months. Three weeks ago Miss Pixley left her home
to clerk in one of the stores in Kingston, and on Monday week she walked to
the hospital, not feeling well, and she had improved so much her father
expected to drive to the city and bring her home this Monday or Tuesday. But on Saturday typhoid set in and after
two days of terrible suffering she died Sunday night. Her father and cousin drove in on Monday
and brought the remains direct to the cemetery, where a large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends were waiting.
After the reading of the burial service by Rev. Mr. Hanna the burial
took place in the family plot. The
funeral sermon will be preached Sunday morning, at the M. E. Church. Miss Pixley had many friends, who loved her
for her gentle and affectionate way, and she will be sadly missed, especially
in her home, where she was always trying to make those around her happy. Her parents, three sisters and two
brothers, besides her aged grandmother, and a host of other relatives, are
left to mourn, and they will have the sympathy of all in their great grief. [NOTE: Same person as Victoria Pixley??] |

DIED
IN EARLY YOUTH - On Monday morning about 10 o’clock, death entered the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Pizzariello, and claimed the spirit of their eldest son,
Master Danny, a bright and manly young lad of eleven years. About three weeks ago he was stricken with
typhoid fever and slowly grew worse until last Saturday night he seemed
decidedly better, so much so that the parents and friends felt satisfied that
the chances for recovery were exceedingly bright. Later that same evening he became worse
again and slowly failed until the Angel of Death took him away on Monday
morning, despite all that medical attendance and kind and loving care could
do. Danny was a great favourite among
his playmates and will be sadly missed by his schoolmates at the West Ward
School. Among the beautiful floral
tributes were a spray of carnations from the scholars in Miss Caton’s room,
of which deceased was a member; spray
of carnations from Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Waller;
large cross of assorted flowers from his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. I.

attendance at the funeral, which was held yesterday morning at nine o’clock
from his parents residence, Union Street, a solemn requiem high mass being
celebrated by Rev. Father O’Connor in St. Patrick’s R. C. Church after which,

tillage. The family of six active men in the forties, became wealthy by
farming, raising thousands of bushels of grain besides large quantities of
live stock. They were the first extensive cheese makers in this county,

Victim of the Battlefield - We regret to learn that Wilfred Theodore Powis,
who had been residing in Winnipeg for some years past was instantly killed on
the 31st March last, while in the trenches. When in London last summer, on a visit, he
joined the London Rifle Brigade and went over to France about the month of
February. One of his brothers was
close to him when the shot that killed him was fired. Mr. Powis was a nephew of Mrs. T. H.
Oliver, and of Miss Grace Duffett, of this city. |

Demille) |
MRS.
ANDREW V. PRICE (ADELAIDE DEMILLE) - The subject of this sketch, was born at
Northport, Jan 3d, 1831, and died at Newburgh, July 6th,
1904. Her father was Peter I. Demille
of United Empire Loyalist stock, one of the sturdy pioneers to whose
intelligence and integrity we owe so much in the making of our country. Nurtured by the rippling waters of the Bay
of Quinte and amongst the graves and orchards of Prince Edward County, she
retained throughout a long life, a passionate fondness for nature in all her
variant moods. In the early fifties
she attended the Normal School at Toronto, which was then showing the
influence of the strong mind of Dr. Sangster.
The trip to Toronto was made by stage coach. The writer has heard her describe the city
as it then was - a commons north of Carleton St., and only a sparse settlement between Carleton and
Queen sts. Afterwards she attended for
a time the Newburgh Grammar School, which was then the leading educational
institution of the district. In
September 1855 she was married to Andrew V. Price of Camden township who
still remains to mourn a faithful companion and affectionate wife. Her talents and nature were such that she
would have adorned any station and in the sphere, into which Providence cast
her life, she served with eminent ability.
In all that pertains to the duties of wife and mother she evidenced
superior sagacity, devotion and kindness.
Her end was sudden, but found her not unprepared. From earliest years, an ardent Christian
and a consistent member of the Methodist Church, she ripened in Christian
character with the progress of the years and toward the last had been
literally living in heavenly places in Jesus Christ. The Bible reading for her last day was
about the heavenly mansions prepared, and though still in usual health, the
theme impressed her sufficiently that she called her husband’s attention to
it and together they made it the subject of comment and pleasant
anticipation. While driving through
the streets of Newburgh with her husband on the afternoon of the 6th
of July, the horse shied at a wheel that was being run across the road from
one carriage shop to another, and after running a short distance, upset the
buggy, resulting in fatal shock to herself and serious injury to Mr. Price. She lived but fifteen minutes after the
accident and was scarcely conscious but though not privileged to leave a
parting message to those she loved, she had already done this in writing
unknown to the family. Needless to say
they consider this a priceless treasure.
Six sons carried the mortal tenement to the grave. The funeral address
was preached by Rev. J. F. Mears to a large assembly of sympathizing
friends. Of a large family all were
present save one, Mrs. Malcolm C. Shorey of San Dimas California. Other daughters are Mrs. W. J. Delmage of
Camden, Mrs. J. F. Hawley of Napanee, and Mrs. M. H. Coburn of Pentwater,
Mich. Her sons are A. M. Price and Dr.
Weston A. Price, M.E. of Cleveland O.: Dr. F. D. Price of Toronto; Dr. Norman W. Price B. Sc. of Niagara Falls,
U.S; Rev T. W. Price B.A. of Elm
Creek, Man, and Reginald B. Price, who resides at home. These all, with the father, share a lively
expectation of meeting the sainted wife and mother when travelling days are
done. If lives are measured by
influences we feel no hesitation in saying that the subject of this sketch
has blessed the world with the most potent and permanent kind of service. Truly she being dead yet speaketh. Her children shall rise up and call her
blessed. |

Died,
at her residence, in Newburgh, on Thursday morning, the 26th ult, Catherine
V., the beloved wife of Thomas Price, Esq. The deceased,
who was long and favorably known, both in Newburgh and the adjacent county,
was born in the year 1807, in Adolphustown in the vicinity of Hay Bay. In
1828 she was united in marriage to her now bereaved and sorrowing partner,
and with him shared the toils and privations of life peculiar to the new
country, residing for over forty years in the township of Camden. Mrs. Price
was for nearly fifty years a consistent member of the C.M. Church. She had
the comfort and satisfaction of seeing her interesting family grow up around
her and several of them called to occupy positions of respect and
responsibility, both in the Church and the world. - "Her children arise
up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he doth praise her." For
several years the deceased was the subject of severe bodily suffering which
she bore with Christian fortitude and resignation, and although long an
invalid, yet she endured her protracted affliction without murmuring -
disposed to say, "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my
change come." The
funeral services were conducted last Sabbath morning by the Superintendent of
the circuit, in the C.M. Church of this place, where a large congregation had
assembled. After the usual service at the Church a large procession followed
the remains to the Newburgh cemetery. |

Death
of Judge Price – PASSED AWAY AT 2:30 O’CLOCK FRIDAY MORNING – Retired in
Splendid Spirits – Spent Thirty-five Years on Bench – Was Seventy-nine Years
of Age – Sketch of His Career. Judge
Price of Kingston, died suddenly about 2:30 o’clock Friday morning, from
heart failure. His death came as a
cruel surprise to family and friends, as it was wholly unexpected. He retired Thursday night in splendid
spirits. As usual, he spent the
evening with his family, and all commented on the fact that he seemed to be feeling unusually well. He was downtown Thursday afternoon, and
discoursed brightly with all with whom he came in contact. No one who witnessed his joviality and
sprightliness expected to hear next morning of his passing. Such an expectation was farthest from their
minds. But such is life. Often the sun of happiness is quickly
obscured by the dark clouds of grief.
Shortly after two o’clock in the morning the Judge awakened his
daughter, Miss Price, being in much distress from his heart. She telephoned for Howard S. Folger and
family and for a doctor, but before they arrived he had passed away. Mr. Folger and family, who had left him
only a few hours before, were grief-stricken to find him lying cold in death. THIRTY-FIVE
YEARS ON BENCH – judge Price spent over thirty-five years on the bench,
retiring in the latter part of 1913.
He was an excellent judge, learned in the law, kindly and discerning. He always tempered justice with mercy, and
being a keen student of human nature, he rarely made a mistake in those to
whom he gave an opportunity to forget the past. His judgments were invariably sound, and it
was a rare thing for an appeal to be taken and a rarer thing for it to be
allowed. SKETCH
OF CAREER – Cornelius Valleau Price was the son of Thomas Price, and his
wife, Catherine Valleau, both of United Empire Loyalist descent, and was born
in the Township of Camden, Addington County, in 1837. He was educated at the Newburgh Grammar
School and at queen’s University, from which he graduated an L.L.B. in
1863. He was called to the bar in 1865
and practised his profession at Kingston in partnership with B. M. Britton,
now Justice Britton, Toronto. He was
appointed judge of the County of Frontenac by the Earl of Dufferin, May 25
1878, and a Surrogate Judge of the Maritime Court of Ontario by the Marquis
of Lorne, March 3, 1879. He sat in the
Kingston City Council from 1870 to 1873, representing St. Lawrence Ward. He was one of the promoters of the Kingston
and Pembroke Railway, and was the first solicitor to that company. He was
also a trustee of the Collegiate Institute and a governor of the General
Hospital. He was elected President of
The Ontario Building and Savings Society of Kingston in 1897. In religion the late judge was a Methodist,
and was a faithful attendant of Sydenham Street Church. He was a Liberal in
politics, and previous to his appointment to the bench took a deep interest
in his party. HIS
PRIVATE LIFE – In 1868 he married Elizabeth, daughter of the late John
Waudby, formerly Clerk of the Peace, Kingston. After nearly half a century of singular
happiness, Mrs. Price passed away a year ago last June. The Judge and Mrs. Price were much devoted
to each other, and her passing was a sad loss to him. Two daughters, Mrs. Howard S. Folger and
Miss Ida Price, survive, and much sympathy is expressed to them on the
passing of an affectionate father.
Judge Price will be much missed.
He was a kind man, a good citizen and a firm friend. |

OBITUARIES
- THE LATE E. R. PRICE - The
death of Edward Rogers Price of Empey Hill, which occurred on Wednesday
morning, June 8, after an illness of only five days, with pneumonia, came as
a great shock to his relatives and many friends throughout his home district,
where he was exceptionally well known and held in very high esteem. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L.
Price, Selby, and was born at Mountain Grove, nearly forty-six years ago,
where he resided until a young man, when he enlisted in the Great War, and
went Overseas. He served three years
and was in England when the Armistice was signed, having been wounded a few
months before. On
January 1st, 1919, he returned to his home in Canada, and in 1922
married Miss Cora Hudgins, youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. M. P.
Hudgins, and purchased the farm where he lived until his death. To them was born one daughter, Marjorie,
now fifteen years of age, and attending Deseronto High School. The
late Mr. Price was very congenial in his disposition, and made many
friends. He was a faithful member and
regular attendant of Empey Hill United Church, and took an active interest in
every good work pertaining to church and community. Surviving
to mourn his loss, besides his widow, daughter and parents, are two brothers,
George and Everett of Selby, and five sisters, Mrs. Ferg Card, Leslieville,
Alberta; Mrs. Leslie Warren,
Mallorytown; Mrs. Melvin Pulver,
Rednersville; Mrs. Percy Hudgins and
Mrs. Chas. Pringle, Selby. The
funeral service was held at - p.m. on
Friday at Empey Hill church, which was far too small to accommodate the large
crowd that gathered to honour one who was highly respected by all. A comforting and helpful message was
delivered by his pastor, Dr. W. E. L. Smith and appropriate music was
rendered by the choir. The
pall bearers were the immediate neighbours and the young men of the community
carried the flowers. Interment was
made in Riverview Cemetery, Napanee. |

OBITUARY
- MR. R. B. PRICE - The
subject of this sketch was born on June 8th 1875 and passed to
rest on February 23rd 1924 in his 49th year. His great grandfather, John Price, served
in the British Army in the American Revolution, and for his services was
given U.E.L. Grants to property in Addington County, and about the year 1800
he settled on Lot 12 Con. 4 of Camden Township. This farm has since remained in the Price
Family, the deceased being the fourth generation that spent his life and died
there. The four generations were prominent active members of the Wesley
Methodist church. On
January 23rd, 1901, Mr. R B. Price married Miss Lillie Baker of
Camden and their home was one of happiness, where their friends loved to
visit and every Methodist minister found a royal welcome around the family
board. He has for years held a
prominent place on the Quarterly Official Board, Trustee Board, and has, with
more than ordinary success, superintended the Wesley Sunday School for about
ten years. Possessed of a good tenor
voice he was often asked and was always ready to contribute to the programme
of religious or social gatherings. He
was a man of good judgment, kind hearted, sympathetic towards every need,
giving good wholesome counsel to the youth of his Sunday School, interested
in every form of church and social activity, a worthy and honored citizen,
loyal to his Pastor, his church and especially to his Sunday School for which
he thought and worked and prayed, a loving husband and a kind father. His passing leaves a place not easily
filled. Though
he did his work as usual his health had not been the best for some time. On January 16th last, he
suddenly became ill, and the same day was taken to Kingston Hospital, where
he underwent a successful operation for appendicitis. He quickly recovered
and returned home on January 28th and was doing so well that it
was thought his health would be better than before. But on the morning of February 23rd,
he was in fine spirits, and at breakfast he was suddenly seized with pains
caused by adhesions, and in spite of care and medical skill he passed away in
the evening of the same day. The
funeral services were conducted by his Pastor Rev. Geo. Nickle, on Tuesday,
February 26th in the Newburgh Methodist Church, where the large
attendance testified to the esteem in which he was held. The text used was 11 Tim 4: 6-8 The body was placed in the vault, to be
later interred in the Camden Fifth cemetery. Deceased
leaves a sorrowing wife, two sons, Clarence B. and Russell Valleau, and one
daughter, Pearl, also five brothers, Albert of California; Frank D.D.S. of
Toronto; Norman M.D., Eye, Ear and
Throat Specialist of Niagara Falls, N.Y., Weston, D.D.S., of Cleveland, and
Rev. Wilbur of Winnipeg; and two
sisters, Mrs. Nettie Dulmage, of Cleveland and Mrs. Mae Coburn, of Michigan,
U.S. Word
reached Napanee on Sunday of the death of Mr. Reginald Price of Wesley. Mr. Price was operated on for appendicitis
a short time ago and was making splendid progress, when a relapse set in. Mr. Price was a son of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Andrew Price of Wesley, and was one of a large family who in early life
identified himself to the church and who throughout his lifetime was a great
worker in the cause of Christianity.
He was a man of sterling character and his word was as good as his
bond. His loss will be keenly felt in
his home church at Wesley, also the County School Association of which he was
an ardent worker. In early life he married a Miss Baker, who survives him,
also one son and one daughter. His
many friends will learn with sincere regret his passing and the sympathy of
the whole community goes out to the bereaved family. Miss Blanche Hawley, town, is a niece of
the deceased. |

Peacefully
Entered Into Rest. Death
touched the frame of Mrs. Ezra D. Priest, mother of Mrs. (Rev.) William
Bryers, on Monday evening and she peacefully fell asleep. She had attained
the ripe old age of 88 years. Mrs. Priest was born at Earnesttown, near Bath,
in 1810, and lived with her parents there until her marriage. After her
husband's death some sixteen years ago, she went to live in Napanee, where
she remained until five years ago. The past five years she has spent with her
daughter, Mrs. Bryers, in Acton. Owing to failing physical and mental vigor
the past year or so she was confined to the house, and latterly has been a
great care. Her daughter and other members of the family ministered to all
her wants with loving attention and everything was done to smooth the path of
the old lady in her declining years. Her father's house and her own home
always extended a hearty welcome to the pioneer ministers, and Mrs. Priest
always enjoyed the services of the house of God as long as her health
permitted her attendance. A private funeral service was conducted at the
house on Tuesday evening by Rev. J. A. McLachlan, M.A., assisted by the Rev.
H.A. Macpherson, and the remains were accompanied to Napanee yesterday
morning by Mrs. Bryers and her brother, Mr. Priest, of Toronto, for
interment. |

ENTERED
INTO REST - On
May 24th, 1929, the white winged messenger of death entered the
home of Mr. Robert Pringle, at West Plain, and bore to the Paradise of God
the soul of Mrs. Elizabeth Pringle, widow of the late James Riley Pringle, in
her 74th years. The
deceased had not been well for a few weeks, having been subject to several
attacks of acute indigestion. From
these she seemed to rally, and was apparently much better and able to be up. On the day of her demise she had dinner and
supper with the family, but she suffered a severe attack, lasting but a few
minutes, later in the evening, from which she never rallied. Her end was clear and triumphant. Of a
retiring disposition she bore the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which
is in the sight of God of great price.
She lived a beautiful, even life patiently, perseveringly, pressing
toward the mark of her high calling in Christ Jesus. Her home was always open to the ministers
of the Gospel, and of her hospitality many have partaken from time to time. The
high esteem in which she was held in the neighborhood where she had spent all
her days, was very manifest by the large attendance at her funeral, which was
held in the United Church, by Rev. P. C. Bennett, assisted by Rev. A. E.
Oliver, Pastor of the church. The service was very impressive
throughout. The text used on the
occasion is found in Matt. 24:44. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Brooks sang very
touchingly “There Will Be No Shadows on the Other Side”, one of the favorites
of the departed. Interment was made in
the family plot at West Plain. Mrs.
Pringle was married in 1874, and there are left to mourn the loss of a true
mother, seven daughters, three sons and two step-daughters, namely Mrs. Chas.
Caughill, Niagara-on-the-Lake; Mrs.
Milton Hughes, Mrs. Ezra Dafoe, Mrs. Reggis Asselstine, Roblin; Mrs. G. W. Beaupit, Mrs. J. Saddler,

Young
Woman Drowned - The Napanee Standard says: "On Sunday, the 2nd instant, an
accident occurred on the Hay Bay, near the Town Hall, South Fredericksburgh,
by which a young woman named Ester O. Pringle was drowned. It appears that
the young woman in company with two boys, aged seven and fourteen years
respectively, were strolling along the shore and came upon a boat, which they
launched and got into for a sail. The only means they had for propelling the
boat was a piece of rail, and with this they got out some distance before
they discovered the boat was leaking badly. They started to return to the
shore with all possible haste, but it soon became evident that before they
could reach land the boat would be full of water. When they reached the
weeds, the deceased thought the water was shallow and that she could wade to
shore, and jumped out into about ten feet of water, and was followed by the
youngest boy. The other boy, seeing their danger, also jumped out to
endeavour to save them. He gave the boy the piece of rail, but could do
nothing for the unfortunate girl, and clung to the boat to save himself. Two
men swam out from the shore and rescued the youngest boy, and another came
from an island near by and picked up the other boy and the body of the young
woman. It required great exertions to bring the youngest boy to
consciousness, and the girl was beyond the hope of recovery. The deceased was
the youngest daughter of Joseph Pringle, of Hungerford. |

Late Andrew Prout – Had Lived Long Time in Sheffield Township At
the home of his brother, J.G., in Adolphustown, on Dec. 4th,
Andrew Prout, a life long resident of Sheffield, died suddenly of heart
failure. Owing to declining health, he sold the old homestead, which had been
in possession of the family since 1835, about four years ago. For the past
year he had been living at his brother’s in Adolphustown. He was able to walk
around some distance and do routine work every day. On returning from his
usual walk, he sat on a chair by the stove, and when Mrs. Prout came in
immediately, he had passed away. Dr. Duffett, who was called by telephone,
was there in less than ten minutes, removed him from the chair, placed him on
a couch, and pronounced him dead. It was a terrible shock to his relatives. He
was of a quiet disposition, always the same temperament. He was well and
favorably known by all his neighbors. Those who had dealings with him always
considered him an honest man. He was fairly successful as a farmer. He was
twice married. First to Mary McKeown, who only lived about a year; then he
married Elizabeth Burns, for his second wife, who was his partner for forty
years, dying in 1915. His sorrowing relatives are his brother, John G., and
family of Adolphustown, and Nancy, of Selby, Ont. He was a consistent member
of the Roman Catholic Church regularly in his seat every Sunday’ generous in
support of his pastor and all requirements of the church. |

Mrs.
O.T. Pruyn. Elizabeth R. Dorland, relict of the late Sherriff Oliver Thatford
Pruyn, died on Sunday morning at the residence of her son, Thomas Dorland
Pruyn, ex-Mayor of Napanee, at the advanced age of 82 years. She was a native
of Adolphustown, and she lived in this county all her life and was well known
to many of the old readers of the Beaver. Her grandfather, John Dorland, was
one of the pioneer settlers of Adolphustown. He was a prominent Quaker and it
was on his farm in the third concession of Adolphustown, on the shores of Hay
Bay, that the first Quaker meeting house in Upper Canada was built and the
first burying ground of that society was established. Her father, Thos. I.
Dorland, was also a well know and prominent Quaker, and inherited the family
homestead, where he lived and died in 1869. He married Betsey Trumpour also
an early native of the same township. They had six children of whom Deborah,
the subject of these notes was the youngest child. She married Oliver
Thatford Pruyn, then a young farmer residing on the front of South
Fredericksburgh, just west of the boundary line of Ernesttown, where all
their married days were spent. Mr. Pruyn was a prominent and much respected
man and was appointed Sheriff of this county at the time of its separation, a
position which he held until the time of his death, a little over six years
ago. He was much attached to his farm, however, and never left it to take
personal charge of the Sheriff's office, which was first filled by his
brother, the late Matthew W. Pruyn, and later on by his only son, Thomas
Dorland Pruyn. Sheriff Hawley succeeded to the office at the time of Mr.
Pruyn's death. Since her husband's death the deceased has lived with her son
at Napanee. He is just now absent at Victoria British Columbia - too far away
to reach home for her funeral, which took place on Tuesday forenoon. Like her
husband, she was a member of the Church of England, and they now have their
last resting place, side by side, in St. Paul's church yard at Sandhurst - a
church of which they were regular attendants for many years. She enjoyed
fairly good health until a few months ago, when she slipped and fell on the
icy ground near her own door and fractured the bone of her thigh. She so far
recovered from that accident as to be able to walk about some again. As the
result of that accident, and of her last sickness, she suffered a good deal
of pain, and no doubt, it was a relief to be at last at rest - a happy change
to enjoy that rest which remaineth to the people of God. Died
at Napanee - Mrs. Pruyn Passes Away Napanee,
June 25 - Mrs. O.T. Pruyn, mother of T.D. Pruyn, passed away on Saturday
night at the advanced age of eighty two years. She was the youngest daughter
of the late Thomas D. Dorland, one of the oldest settlers in the bay
district, and was one of a large family, all of whom have now passed away.

Pruyn, Matthew William |
Obituary
- Matthew William Pruyn - An old and respected resident of Napanee, passed
over to the great majority on Thursday morning, 10th instant, after a brief
and painless illness. He was at his place of business until closing time
Saturday afternoon in apparently his usual good health. On rising about 6
o'clock Sunday morning he remarked that he did not know when he had enjoyed
such a good night's rest. Almost immediately afterwards he fell to the floor
unconscious, and never rallied, passing peacefully away yesterday morning. He
was born on the shores of Bay of Quinte, on the first lot in the Township of
Fredericksburgh, October 22d 1819, the youngest son of William Pruyn of that
place, one of the pioneer U.E. Loyalist settlers of this county. He spent his
early days on his father's farm, where he received his education in the
schools of the locality. When a young man he went west and was always in
mercantile life. From 1836 to 1840 he lived in Woodstock. He then moved to
Brantford, then a small town, and spent the next 22 years there. He became a
large and successful merchant there and one of the leading citizens. For
years he was a member of the Brantford council and served for one term as its
Mayor. While there he married Miss Mary Margaret Kerby, Dec. 13th, 1843, a
daughter of the late William Kerby, Esq., for years one of the most prominent
residents of that place. Mrs. Pruyn, with their two sons, John R., of
Chicago, and William K., of Napanee, survive him. The latter gentleman has
been for many years associated with his father in business here. Meeting
with some business reverses at Brantford, Mr. Pruyn went west to the Pacific
coast in 1862 and was for a time a resident of British Columbia. In 1864,
when the County of Lennox and Addington was set apart from Frontenac, Mr.
Pruyn was invited to return to his native county and accept the situation of
Deputy Sheriff, which office he filled for seven years. He has been a
resident of Napanee ever since. Soon after settling here he established a
large grocery and liquor store, in connection with his sons, and has been in
business here ever since. In
politics Mr. Pruyn was a Conservative and an ardent supporter and personal
friend of the late Sir John Macdonald. When Sir John was elected in Lennox in
1882, Mr. Pruyn was one of his warm supporters. When that election was
declared void, a year or two later, and Sir John retained his seat for
Carleton County, Mr. Pruyn was the nominee of the Conservative party as his
successor; a very hardly contested election was held and he was defeated by David W. Allison, Esq.,
by only four votes. That election was, in its turn, protested and made void
and Mr. Pruyn was again the conservative candidate defeating Mr. Allison by a
majority of 58. He then represented the county until the election in 1887
when Mr. Uriah Wilson received the party nomination. Those were stirring
times in the political history of this County. During the four sessions of
the Fifth Parliament we had three elections and two protests and three
separate representatives in the House: - Sir John in the session of 1883; Mr.
Allison in the session of 1884; and Mr. Pruyn during the sessions of 1885 and
'86. Mr.
Pruyn was a life-long member of the Church of England and one of its regular
communicants. In his death the community has lost a respected and
enterprising citizen, the church a faithful member and the sons a kindly
father and his aged wife an affectionate and much loved companion. The
funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. M.W.
Pruyn attacked by paralysis on Sunday died this morning. M.W.
Pruyn was a native of South Fredericksburgh, Lennox county. He was born there
on the 22nd of October, 1819. His father, William Pruyn was among the early
U.E.L. settlers on the shores of Bay of Quinte two or three miles west of the
village of Bath. According to the records in the old Upper Canada crown lands
department he does not appear to have come to this province until about 1808
or twenty-six years later than the U.E.L. settlers. He was a man of
considerable means and much business energy and was among the first of the
extensive lumbermen on the Bay of Quinte. He is said to have built the first
saw mill on the Salmon river, near where the village of Shannonville now
stands. That, for years, became an active business locality both for saw and
grist mills. The Pruyns were a well-to-do family residing at Kinderbrook, on
the Hudson river, province of New York, years before the American revolution.
Harmen, grandfather of the late M.W., appears to have been a wealthy resident
in that locality as early as 1750. During the revolution he took sides with
the British, and he was afterwards reported "banished" from his
native land and considerable of his property was confiscated for that offence
- as were a great many others in those days who remained loyal to the British
flag. He also came to Upper Canada, where some of his relatives and friends
had preceded him. He afterwards lived and died in this province. The
Pruyns were among the families who brought slaves with the, which they
retained for many years. The Pruyn family were connected by inter-marriage
with a number of the then well known pioneer families about the Bay of
Quinte, including the Fairfields, Finkles, Churches, Dorlands and others. When
the subject of this sketch was a young man he went west and entered the
mercantile business, which he followed all his remaining days. He was first
at Woodstock, then a small village, then he located at Brantford, then but a
thriving town. There he remained for years and was at one time the mayor of
Brantford and one of the leading business men. He there married Miss Mary M.
Kerby, daughter of the late William Kerby, one of the founders of what is now
the city of Brantford. She survives him, though now quite feeble, being
seventy-six years of age. Their two sons, John Rose, of Chicago, and William
Kerby, of Napanee, are also living. When
Lennox and Addington was separated from Frontenac as a separate county, in
1831, the late Oliver Hatford Pruyn was appointed sheriff, and on his
invitation his brother, Matthew William, moved to Napanee and became deputy
sheriff, a position which he held for seven or eight years. In the general
dominion election of 1882 Sir John Macdonald left Kingston and became the
Conservative candidate for Lennox, where he was declared elected by a small
majority over David W. Allison, Adolphustown, the liberal nominee. The late
Mr. Pruyn was an ardent supporter and personal friend of Sir John. The
election was protested and Sir John was unseated, after he had represented
the county for one session. At the bye-election that ensued, Mr. Pruyn was
the nominee of the conservative party, and was defeated by a narrow majority
of eight by Mr. Allison, who represented the county at the next session. His
election was in turn protested and voided, and at the ensuring election Mr.
Pruyn was declared returned by a majority of eighty-five, and he represented
the county during the next two sessions. Thus during our fifth dominion
parliament Lennox had three elections, two protests and was represented by
three men. During the same time there were two elections and two protests in
connection with the provincial legislature. The county never before or since
witnessed so much political excitement and commotion as between 1882 and
1886. At the next general election Uriah Wilson, the present M.P. for the
county, received the conservative nomination over Mr. Pruyn, who then retired
and he has never been a candidate for political honors since. Mr.
Pruyn was a staunch member of the Church of England and a regular communicant
for many years. He was an enterprising citizen, a kindly neighbor and a man
of intelligence and good business habits.

Purdy, William |
Mr.
Wm. Purdy, of Bath Died
at his residence in Bath on the 15th January, Mr. William Purdy,
in the 77th year of his age. The subject of this brief memoir was
born in Westchester, state of New York, August 14th, 1770. All
that we have been able to learn concerning his youthful days is, that he was
seriously inclined and at times, the subject of deep and serious concern for
his salvation. He came to Canada shortly after the Revolution, sustaining
considerable pecuniary loss. He settled a few miles west of Brockville,
within the boundaries of what is now called the Elizabethtown Circuit, where
he had occasional opportunities of hearing the Rev. W. Losee, under whose
faithful and zealous ministrations he became truly awakened to a sense of his
guilt and danger, as a fallen and helpless sinner. He was not long, however,
in this state, until he was brought to know, from personal and heartfelt
experience, that Christ had power on earth to forgive sin. He united with the
then despised people of God and remained a consistent member of the Church of
his choice for nearly 50 years. It is not known at what precise period our
departed brother removed to Thornhill, on the Yonge Street circuit. While
residing there he sustained for several years, the important relation to the
Church in a class-leader and circuit steward, his house always furnishing a
welcome for Itenerant Minister. In
1823 or 4 he and his family removed to Ops, where he also held the same
offices. In 1841 he removed to Bath. His health was tolerably good until
within a few days of his death. His illness was short. His friends and
medical attendant did not anticipate so speedy a dissolution. He manifested
throughout the short time of his sickness a calm and patient resignation to
the will of his Heavenly Father. His end was peace. The occasion was improved
by a discourse by the writer from 2 Cor. V. 1-4, to a large and attentive
audience. W. Haw. |

The
Late James Purtelle - There
passed away in Bloomfield on March 8th, 1925, James Purtelle, in
his 81st year. Mr. Purtelle
had been in ill health for only a few weeks, but was finally prostrated one
week ago from a serious malady that caused unceasing suffering until death
released him on Sunday morning last.
James Purtelle was born in Glengarry county, of Irish parentage. This family comprised several children, the
one who lived in close touch with our community life, was James
Purtelle. He might have lived an
absolutely obscure life, but circumstances and unseen destiny decreed
otherwise, He was converted to
Methodism when a young man; and his whole life has been an expression of a
highly religious nature with marked mental ability, and a profound
consciousness of his duty to his God and to his fellow man. His sympathy was tender and
far-reaching. His devotion to his
church, and every good cause, is so well known that it seems idle to narrate,
since his life and character are indisputable evidence of a great soul, that
from boyhood to old age was identified with everything that was uplifting in
the social, religious and community life around us. James Purtelle was a
minister of the Gospel in the truest sense; if not called to ordination by
the Church, he was truly called of God, and his religious utterances were
frequently heard in years past, especially in the Hallowell district. He was also an efficient class teacher, and
many there are who recall his Christian profession, as one interested in the
spiritual welfare of his fellows. In
this service he remained active until quite recently, when ill health bound
him closer to the home life. He
married in early life Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbert Leavens, and there was born to
this union, one son and one daughter - Edward B. Purtelle, who resides in
Bloomfield and (Emma) Mrs. Andrew Van de Water, Picton. His second marriage was with Mrs. Nancy
Rose Steinberg; with whom he lived
most happily for three years and more.
His brother, Thomas Purtelle, a highly respected member of the family,
predeceased his brother three years ago and his brother Edward, Oshawa, is
the only surviving member of that family and was present at the funeral. The funeral on Tuesday, March 10th,
was largely attended. Rev. J. J.
Mellor, pastor of Picton United Church of Canada, officiated with great
acceptance. Mr. Mellor spoke of his
farewell visit to Mr. Purtelle, of his strong belief that he was “about to
enter upon a new and wonderful life with his eternal God.” His faith, love and trust were so intensely
real, that his countenance shone with the light from the other world - where,
as he said “In my Father’s house are many mansions - if it were not so, I
would have told you.” Miss Bull sang
“Lead Kindly Light.” The floral
tributes were as follows: Mr. and Mrs.
Ted Van de Water, a spray; Methodist Bible Class, a wreath; from the family, a pillow; Mr. and Mrs. B. Wilson, a spray; R. J. Purtelle, a wreath; Mr. and Mrs. Earl Purtelle, a spray; Mr. and Mrs. George Mitford, a wreath; Mount Pleasant Church, a spray; Hallowell Canning Factory, a wreath; Bristol’s staff, floral basket. Sympathy is expressed for the bereaved
widow, and the family, who fell most keenly their loss. The Bearers were: William Gough, Peter
Cave, Edwin Baxter, Clarence Mallory, Clayton Burr and Hubert McDonald. The interment was made in Glenwood
cemetery. |

were conducted at the family residence, one mile east of Bath, the birthplace
of the deceased, by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Everson, assisted by a former
pastor, Rev. J. Webster, Brock Street, Kingston. The text was a very appropriate and fitting
one. “Except a corn of wheat fall into
the ground and die it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much
fruit.: The morning being very fine
the friends gathered in large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect to
one they loved so dearly. The display
of flowers and wreaths were sufficient to show the very high esteem in which
our sister was held. Among which there
was a wreath from Bath W.M.S. Auxiliary, many members being present. As the body was moved from the house they
followed it singing :”There’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we
can see it afar, For the Father waits
over the way, To Prepare us a dwelling
place there.” Interment took place at
Lyn, Township of Young, County of Leeds. The many friends and neighbors
extend their sympathies to the bereaved and sorrowing husband in the
declining hours of his life. |

OBITUARY
– On Saturday, March 22d 1913, there passed away at Bath, William Roy Purvis,
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. P.C. Purvis after an illness lasting about three
years, which took a more acute form about six weeks ago, being brought on by
an attack of la grippe, from which he never rallied. During the last few weeks he suffered
severely but he bore his pain very cheerfully. He was born in the County of Leeds,
Township of Lyn, Ontario, May 22d, 1891 and was brought up in a Christian
home. With his parents, he moved to
Bath in March, 1903, where he lived until the time of his death. Soon after coming to Bath he received the
new birth, and afterwards connected himself with the Bath Methodist Church,
where he rendered active service for God until death called him home. His name was most frequently associated
with his appearance, at church, Sabbath School or class meeting. During his prolonged illness he was
somewhat deprived of these privileges, which deprivation he felt quite
keenly. Throughout his sickness, and
during the critical moments he was entirely resigned to the Will of God. Written upon his face was the evidence that
he was looking forward to the time when he would see his Saviour face to
face. All who knew him can testify of
his zealous Christian character, unselfish in every way. The interment took place at Young’s Mills,
Lyn, on Easter Monday, March 24th.
The service was conducted at the house by Rev. J. F. Everson, his
pastor, who, in a very few but appropriate remarks, expressed the feeling and
sentiment of the many who had gathered there to pay their last tribute of **

Edmonton, and four sisters, Mrs. Dr. Nash, Kingston, Mrs. Judson,
Cowansville; Mrs. Williams, New York,

Travelling
With a Corpse On Thursday
evening the four sons of the late Peter Quackenbush, of Denbigh, who died on
the 17th of October last, arrived in Napanee with the remains of their
father, and deposited them in the churchyard at Sand Hill, North
Fredericksburgh. They were four days upon the road, travelling with a sleigh
until they reached Roblin where they were obliged to borrow a waggon to
complete their journey. The young men performed the tedious and wearisome
pilgrimage to fulfil the wish of their deceased parent, who expressed a
desire to be buried near the scenes of his boyhood. Before returning, the
young men ordered a neat monument to mark the last resting place of their
father. Such final regard for the memory of a departed parent, adds the
Beaver, speaks volumes for the true manhood of those devoted sons. |
