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 |

their declining years with their grandson Herb. C. Parks, at Berkeley, Cal.,

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

trade of harness-making, after which he served as apprentice in a jewellery
store, and in the year 1895 he opened a jewellery store of his own, in
Tamworth, and continued in that business as long as his health permitted him
to do so. Although he gave up his
store about four years ago, he continued to do repair work at his home until
this spring. In
1903 he married Miss Ada Trigg who predeceased him in 1912, and in 1917 he
married Miss Sarah Stinson, who predeceased him in 1923. He was a life-long Conservative in
politics, and a devoted member of Christ Church here, where he served as

a great interest in all branches of church work, including the choir, of
which he was a member for thirty years.
He served the township of Sheffield as treasurer for twenty years, and
was clerk of the township for eight years.

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

entered the employ of the Bay of Quinte Railway under Mr. H. B. Sherwood of

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

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. |

- 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. |

highly respected citizens when John Henry Patterson died at the home of his
son-in-law, C. H. Lapum, Napanee on the early morning of April 18th,

spent the first twenty seven years of his life when he removed to a farm in
the Township of Camden about two miles north of the Village of Newburgh and
married Miss Marietta Potter, of Moscow, in 1878. After farming for a few years, he retired
and removed to Newburgh in 1891, where he was for many years a member of the
Newburgh School Board, on the Trustee Board of the Methodist Church,
Superintendent of the Newburgh Cemetery and Clerk of the Division Court up to
the time of his decease. His youngest
son, Robert Percy Patterson, B. A., BSc., predeceased him about thirteen
years ago and since the passing of his wife in 1922, he had lived alone, but
visited frequently with his daughter, Mrs. C. H. Lapum, at Napanee, who, with
his son, Dr. W. E. Patterson, a practicing physician of Westbrooke,
Minnesota, his daughter, Miss Pearl Patterson of Kingston and a sister Mrs.
Margaret Hagerman of Stirling, survive along with numerous grandchildren and
other relatives. The funeral, which

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 mining engineer at
Gem, Idaho; Dr. J. Harvey, of

A strong man of mind and body, after ailing three months, he became
much worse Tuesday and sank rapidly in spite of all 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
Pastor spoke feelingly from Rev. 7:9.
He said Brother Paul was a genuine kindly Christian. He had hosts of friends, but he had not
heard of one enemy. A large concourse
of relatives, and friends followed his remains to the vault. Those who knew him best will miss him

- At Camden on Sunday, 10th October 1909, William M. Paul, aged 66

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. |

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. |

A

by drinking a solution of saltpetre.
The mother had a strong solution of saltpetre for use on the throat of
a younger child afflicted with quinsy, and the older child wanting a drink,
the mother, by mistake, gave it a drink out of the cup containing the
saltpetre. She discovered the mistake,
but felt no great alarm until the child began to turn purple. A doctor was at once brought, who
administered an antidote, but it was too late to save the child’s life. |

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. |

Died
at Ernest Town, the 12th of January instant, Jemima Perry, wife of Robert
Perry, Senr. and sister of
the late Ebenezer Washburn, Esq. of Hallowell, in the 76th year of her age.
Her remains were interred on the 14th, with every mark of real but
unostentatious grief and respect. In
the beginning of last November, she was seized with a distressing asthmatic
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
and family into this Province, among its first settlers. She
has left an aged partner, with whom she had lived in conjugal union and
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. |

Perry had been suffering for some time with pernicious anaemia, and the

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

Perry, William Hawley |
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) |

MARY
E. PHILP - Daughter of John and Mary Marshall, was born in Port Hope on the
11th of July, 1859, and died in Hamilton on the 7th of
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.” [signed]

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.

high mass being celebrated by Rev. Father O’Connor in St. Patrick’s R. C. Church

inst., aged 96 years and 2 months. He was the oldest resident of that township
at the time of his death. He was the last surviving member of one of the best
known families in this county at one time. The Platt farm of about a thousand
acres, lying on the south shore of Hay Bay, was for years the largest farm in
the county, and was noted for its productiveness and good 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,
conducting a large private dairy. Mr. Platt has been quite feeble for years
the results of injuries received in a runaway at one time, and was mostly
confined to his house. He was a very active man at the time. He was never
married. The funeral took place on Tuesday of last week, and the burial was
in the family plot at St. Alban's church, Adolphustown. Another
of the old residents of Adolphustown passed away on Tuesday and was buried
yesterday, in the person of Benjamin Platt, aged ninety years. The deceased
had been a resident of Adolphustown for many years on what was known as the
old judge Fisher property. The property, consisting of 600 acres, will now be
divided amongst the relatives of the deceased. Two sisters survive, but they
reside in the old country, and only nephews and nieces are the next of kin in
this country. |

Post, Belinda |
(Sillsville)
- A gloom was cast over our community when it became known that Mrs. Belinda
Post had died very suddenly. The late Mrs. Post lived alone, and although
over seventy-nine years old, she did her usual work every day, and on Sunday
morning when a neighbor's child called, he found the door fastened, and he
informed his parents who immediately investigated. They too could not waken
her when they rapped and called, so they entered the house to see. They found
the lamp still burning, and evidently Mrs. Post was preparing for bed, and
had expired, falling over in the bed. The funeral was held from her late home
on Tuesday. She leaves one son to
mourn, Mr. D. Post, of Bath. Deaths

Price, Adelaide (nee
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. |

Valleau (Judge) |
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. |
