JANET
TEMPLETON – Died, at Napanee, on Saturday morning, 11th February, Janet
Templeton, relict of the late Wm. Templeton, age 72 years. The deceased lady was one of the oldest
residents of the town, having lived here nearly half a century. She was born near Perth in the county of
Lanark of an old Scotch family. Her
father, James McIlquham, came from Scotland to
Canada about 1816 and settled near Perth, then but a hamlet in the
forest. Here he purchased land and
made a home on the banks of the Mississippi, where the deceased was born and
spent her early years. She was married
to Wm. Templeton in 1844, and immediately removed to Napanee, where her
husband had previously commenced business as a tanner. The town then consisted chiefly of what is
now known as Clarksville, little besides the Cartwright Grist Mill being
within the town as it now exists. Her
husband died in 1852, leaving the young wife with three children
surviving. She had many trials and
struggles through the next few years, but never lost courage or
patience. Early in life she became a
member of the Presbyterian church to which all her family belong, and
continued through her whole life an active worker in the cause of Christ,. Her life was
indeed most pure and blameless and affords a bright example of Christian
virtue. Always charitable, kind and
considerate for others, her counsel was constantly sought in church matters,
and her loss will be much felt by her former associates. Her illness dates [illegible line] her recovery
until Wednesday of last week when she was taken suddenly worse, and quietly
passed away on Saturday morning, respected by all who knew her, and beloved
by all who enjoyed her friendship.
Only two children survive her, W. Templeton, the respected publisher
of our contemporary the “Beaver, and Mrs. D. H. Preston, another son, James,
having predeceased her some twenty years.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. McEachren,
pastor of the Presbyterian church and many of the large number present were
moved to tears by his touching references to the many virtues of the
deceased. The Ladies’ Aid of the
Presbyterian Church purchased a very handsome wreath in Kingston as a floral
tribute. |

Templeton, William |
It is
with feelings of regret and a deep sense of loss that we are called upon to
chronicle the death of Mr. Wm. Templeton, late editor and proprietor of this
paper, which occurred on Tuesday morning, 3d March,
after a brief illness. Three weeks ago
today deceased, who was not feeling as well as usual, left the office and
went home. The first week of his
illness he seemed to improve at times and no alarming symptoms developed
until the following week, when he sank rapidly and passed peacefully away to
his reward, after having spent a very successful and useful life. The best of medical skill was obtained,
doctors from Montreal and Kingston being in attendance with the local
profession, and all that loving hands and hearts could do was of no
avail Mr. Templeton was born in
Napanee on the 27th November, 1848, and with the exception of a
few years, has spent his whole life in our midst. When about seventeen years
of age he became an apprentice to the printing art, shortly after entering
The Napanee Express as journeyman.
Afterwards he spent a term in offices in Montreal, Toronto and New
York, where he completed his course at the business and was satisfied to
return to his boyhood home. In
partnership with Rm. Edw. Stevenson, he purchased The Beaver. At a later date Mr. Geo. M. Beeman and Mr. W.C. Scott were associated with him in the
office. In 1892, Mr. Templeton
purchased the plant and has conducted it ever since. So successful has his
business career been that The Beaver is a welcome weekly visitor into almost
every home in the town and county, and is recognized as one of the foremost
journals of its class, all due to his progressive spirit and business
ability. Deceased was closely identified with the general social interests of
the community. He was a member of the
Royal Arch Masons, A.O.U.W., I.O.O.F., about twenty years has been United
States Consul at Napanee. For a number
of years he was also a valued member of the Board of Education. His death
spells a distinct loss for the whole community, especially for the
Presbyterian church, of which he had long been a devoted member. He was an Elder of the church, and Clerk of
the Session. Twenty-nine years ago he
was united in marriage to Miss Addie Perry, who, together with five children are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband
and father. The children are: Wm. A.
and Janet, at home;
Mrs. J. G. VanEvery, Owen Sound; Dr. Chas P. Templeton and Mrs. J. M.
McIntosh, Brandon, Man., who were all with him at the last. Mrs. D. H. Preston, a sister, also survives
him. A shadow of gloom was cast over
the whole town. His brother curlers
closed the rink all week, and on Thursday afternoon the schools were all
closed. Floral wreaths, bouquets and
flowers in profusion covered the casket and room. The funeral at the home on Thursday
afternoon was attended by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances from
near and far, showing the respect and esteem in which he was held by
all. The service was conducted by his
pastor, Rev. J. R. Conn, assisted by Rev. W. H. Emsley,
after which the beautiful burial service of the masons, who had charge of the
funeral, was read at the vault. His
smiling greeting will be greatly missed, not only in the home, but at the
office and on the street. His friends
were legion, ad expressions of sorrow an regret are
heard on every hand. The bearers were
Messrs. J. L. Boyes, W. H. Boyle, J. W. Robinson,
J. J. Flach, F. F. Miller, and W. T. Gibbard. |

THIBAULT – The news of the death of Angus Thibault came as a great shock to
his many friends in Picton when they learned of his demise early on Sunday
morning last. Very few knew of his
illness, which was only of some three days duration. He was in attendance at the county fair,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with his exhibit of Maxwell and Studebaker

sickness was not considered serious until shortly before his death. During Saturday night he rapidly grew worse
and expired about seven o’clock Sunday morning, aged
40 years. Angus Thibault will be
greatly missed. For some years past he
has conducted the business of auctioneer and in this way has become widely
known all over the county of Prince Edward. He has also conducted many sales
in Adolphustown and vicinity. As an
auctioneer he was not only popular, but he also had the respect and
confidence of the public generally. He
had a well deserved reputation for fair dealing and his genial friendly
manner made him friends everywhere.
For the last two or three years he had added the agency of the Maxwell
motor cars to his business and only recently had also taken the local Studebaker
agency. At the time of his death Mr.
Thibault was Deputy Reeve of the Town of Picton. This was his second term in this
position. He had previously held the
position of councillor in the town and was also some years ago a member of
the Municipal Council of the township of Hallowell. The deceased was an only son of Mr. Ed.
Thibault of Picton, and a nephew of Messrs. William Thibault of Picton and
George of Athol. His wife who survives
him was a Miss Head. The funeral service was held at his late residence,
Agnes St., Tuesday afternoon, when many of his friends and acquaintances
assembled to do honor to his memory.
The Maxwell motor Co. of Windsor, Ont. Was represented at the funeral
by Mr. F. T. Hodgins, of Toronto. The beautiful floral design Gates Afar, was sent by the Maxwell Co. The many other floral offerings gave
eloquent testimony to the high regard in which he was held and the sympathy
felt toward his surviving relatives.

The following
particulars relative to a late transaction have been related to us on such
authority that we do not hesitate in making them public; at the same time we express our
astonishment that such a transaction should have been kept so long in the dark. Shortly before
the April Sessions, the body of a child was found in the Napanee River near
its mouth. An inquest was held, and
after the examination of Dr. Allen of Napanee, and other witnesses, the Jury
returned a verdict of “wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown.”
The same afternoon after interring the corpse, the Coroner and part of
the Jury returned to the village of Napanee, and some whispers being current,
that a shoemaker’s wife of the name of Thomson had been unknown to her husband
(to whom she had been married but three weeks,) delivered of an infant, which
infant was spirited away, some enquiries were made which led to the
examination of a Dr. Wallen (not Dr. Allen) before
the Coroner and another magistrate, and it came out, the Dr. Wallen had attended the woman in question, and had
delivered her of a dead child, which he had put under the ice in the
river. Some other witnesses were
examined, but no farther proceedings taken.
The singularity attending this affair is,
that the woman should have been delivered of a child unknown to her husband,
and that the medical attendant should have taken upon himself the task of
grave-digger. |

Thurston, Stephen G. |
Cherry Valley
Old Resident Passes Away The death occurred
at his home on the Cherry Valley road, just west of Picton, Tuesday, of
Stephen G. Thurston, in his 93rd year. He was widely
known as a blacksmith for 45 years and even better known as an old time
fiddler for more than half a century. During his apprenticeship
in the blacksmith trade at Bath, he received $25 the first year, $35 the
second and $65 for the third year. From then on it was $1 a day as long as he
worked for someone else, but it was not long before he was running his own
shop at Bongards Corners, then at Glenora and later
in Picton. Mr. Thurston was wont to recall that in his early days shoes were
set for ten cents and new ones put on for 25 cents. On busy days there were
four or five teams waiting to be shod and 8 or 9 teams was a good day’s work
for a blacksmith. During the
period he was at Glenora, Mr. Thurston recalled that the ferry between
Glenora and Adolphustown was operated by a horse power treader,
making the trip in thirteen minutes. Mail then came to Picton via the Bath
road and the Glenora ferry; by stage coach to Adolphustown and after the
ferry crossing at Glenora, Mr. Thurston drove the mail to Picton. As an old time
fiddler, Mr. Thurston had few equals and he was in great demand at the
dances. For years he played for Hyatt and Macdonald at the Sandbanks and for
George Thibault at the Outlet. Mrs. Thurston,
formerly Diana Minaker, died in 1916 and two sons
and two daughters also predeceased him. Surviving are a son Merton in Calgary
and a son Edward with whom he made his home. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon at the A.M. Palmatier
Funeral Home with interment in Glenwood Cemetery. Rev. J.B. Creeggan officiated. |

Death of John
Tierney. We have learned
the following further particulars of the death of John Tierney, referred to
in our last issue. Deceased left home in Adolphustown on April 6th, 1899, in
company with Mr. R.W. Geddes, of Deseronto, arriving at Prince Albert on 29th
April. they continued their journey all summer and
went into winter quarters on 12th October. They erected a shack about 100
yards from the mouth of a creek flowing into the Laird river, about 100 miles
from Fort Simpson and 1200 miles from Edmonton. In January deceased took a
heavy cold, which aided in bringing on a slight attack of scurvy. The
sickness continued to develop until 4th April, when death from heart failure
relieved him from his sufferings. Of course one can imagine that the diet off
in that distant part of our land where facilities of communication are not
very good, was none of the best and especially for
an invalid. His comrades spent two days whip sawing lumber to make a coffin.
He was buried on the banks of the Laird river, the service as written is the
Church of England prayer book being read. A cross as erected to mark the spot, and the name cut upon it. We are indebted to Mr.
Geddes for the foregoing information. Trail of Death Kingston, Aug 20
- John Tierney, of Adolphustown, who left over a year ago for the Klondike,
died last March on his way home. His party endured great hardships going by
the Edmonton route. Mr. Tierney was first taken down with pneumonia and on
his recovery scurvy set in, which caused his death. He was over 60 years of
age and a highly respected farmer of Adolphustown. |

Tierney passed away at the Lenadco Home for the
Aged on Sept. 22, 1996. Mr. Tierney was
born July 23, 1908 at Gosport, Ont. (north Adolphustown). He was the only son of the late Thomas
Tierney and Achsah Louise Ogden. In March of 1917, the Tierney family moved
from their farm on the Bay of Quinte to Bridge Street in Napanee. Mr. Tierney
attended school in Napanee and he graduated from Ontario Business College in
Belleville. From 1926 to
1938, he worked for Belleville Creamery, Francis Bakery, as manager of
Eaton’s Hardware in Napanee, and assisted the firm of Masters & Tierney

corner of Centre and Mill Streets. In 1940, the
business moved to its present location at 123 Dundas St. W. Mr. Tierney retired in November 1978, but
was still active with the firm of Wannamaker-Tierney until poor health forced
his retirement four years ago. He was a member
of St. Mary Magdalene Church in Napanee from 1917, until his death. He sang in the choir, was a Sunday School

Scottish Rite in Kingston and became a member of the Shrine, Ramases Temple in Toronto. He also was a
member of the Argyle Lodge, the Royal Canadian Legion and charter member of
the Lions Club. He served in the
Army from 1942 until the end of the Second World War, but due to the death of
his father, was not engaged in active service overseas. Mr. Tierney was
very active in the community and his primary concern was to help lessen the
suffering of others in their time of need. He was a “people person” and enjoyed his
contact with everyone. He was
predeceased by his parents, his sisters, Mrs. Rose Mines, Mrs. Edith Wallace,

JAMIMA TINDALL - The subject of
this short memoir was the second daughter of Benjamin and Mary Jane Tindall. She
commenced her earthly pilgrimage in the township of Grey, county of Huron,
Ontario, on the 6th day of January, 1866. Very early in
life she entered the Sabbath school, and never left it until compelled to by
sickness, which ended in death. To be
found in the class gave her much pleasure.
And as soon as it was thought prudent she was raised to the position
of teacher - a position she filled with credit to herself, advantage to her
class, and satisfaction to all concerned.
The manner in which she attended to her work, the interest she
displayed and her success gave me and others much pleasure. She was led to
accept Christ as her Saviour when she was ten years of age; and when she gave her heart to God
she gave herself to the Church. And
from that day to
the day that she joined the blood-washed company and her dear father before
the throne, she was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. I never saw a thing heard a word, or knew
an action not in harmony with Bible truth.
She was a good, faithful, successful missionary collector. But her work is done (and well done) the
journey of life is ended and she has entered into rest. Her death took
place August 12th, 1886, and on the 14th, her remains
were laid to rest near her father. On
Sabbath afternoon the writer preached to a very large congregation from Jer.
xv. 9 “She
hath given up the ghost; her sun is
gone down while it was yet day.” Some
people do their work soon, and well, and early go to
rest. May the reader and writer meet

CROSSED THE DARK
RIVER - Picton
Gazette – The death of Mr. Almon C. Tobey occurred
at the family residence, west Main street, at an early hour on Monday
morning, 10th June. The
evening previous he was out walking about the house with his daughter, in his
apparent usual health, when he was suddenly taken with a fainting spell,
followed by convulsive vomiting, which ended his life about one o’clock. About two years ago he had a severe stroke
from which he never recovered, gradually growing worse until death. He was a great sufferer, but bore it
patiently to the end. The deceased
came to Picton from Napanee about twenty odd years ago, engaging in the jewellery business, and was one of our most affable and
successful business men. He was twice
married – his first wife being Miss Minnie Haight, the second Miss Ola Hurlburt. Two children by his first wife – Raymond
and Zeita – survive him to mourn the loss of a kind
and loving father. Deceased was 51
years of age. The funeral took place
on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The I.O Foresters, of which deceased was a

THE LATE MRS.
TOWNLEY - The mortal
remains of this deeply respected lady, late wife of the Rev. Adam Townley, D.D., Canon of Huron Cathedral, and Incumbent of
St. James Church in this town, who departed this life, on Monday evening, 3rd
April, surrounded by her husband, her Son and his Wife and several other
friends - were deposited (until the Church of England Cemetery is secured and
prepared) close by the Chancel of St. James’ Church, on the Thursday
following. The coffin,
which was covered with purple velveteen, had a large floriated oak Cross fastened
on the lid, and with its beautiful Cross and Wreath of flowers also, which
were all put in the grave, spoke of those bright hopes which were more than
comforting to the sorrows of the survivors.
The bearers were Messrs. Geo. Stanton, J. A. Penton,
Thos. Ryall, F. H. Haycock, Thos. Clark and W. C.
Jones. The mourners were - the whole
Parish! - but especially her bereaved Husband, her Son, the Rev. C. E.
Thomson, two of her Grandsons; her brother in law, Mr. A. B. Townley, and her nephew, Mr. H. C. Thomson; Dean Boomer,
Archdeacon Marsh, Canon Nelles, Revds
W. S. Darling, Rural Dean Holland, E. E. Newman and A. Anthony, besides which
a long list of other friends, also attended. The body was carried by the bearers from the house to the Chancel of
the Church, which with the Clergyman’s pew, &c., was deeply draped in
black - and thence to the Grave close adjoining. The service was effectively read by the Revds Dean Boomer, H. Holland, and W. S. Darling - the
last of whom also delivered a touching address, as being the oldest clerical
friend of the deceased, who was present.
The Choir also rendered their affectionate aid. It is needless to say that the Church was
very full, alike from strong regard to Mrs. Townley
and genuine sympathy with her sorrowing husband. Indeed we are pleased, though not
surprised, to learn that sympathy, both at home, and by letter, has been overflowingly expressed with the lonely grief of our, no
longer young, but highly respected Rector; very many old friends sending their
deep expressions of regret at being unable to be present, from a mistake
regarding the time and place of burial, or from previous engagements. Among
them were the Bishops of Huron, N---- and Toronto, and a letter from Mr.
-----, the Bishop of Algoma being ------. In our deceased
friend we lose another of those ancient Canadian landmarks that link the
present with the past. Mrs. Elizabeth Townley
was the only daughter of the late Wm. Ruttan, Esq., of the Bay of Quinte, and
officer in the British Army of the United States during the Revolutionary
War, who, at its close, came with his young wife, his elder brother, Captain
Ruttan, and other United Empire Loyalists to Canada, settling at once on the
Bay of Quinte, where he and his wife died in ripe old age. Their daughter, our late deceased friend,
was born October 27th, 1800.
She was married at a very early age to Hugh C. Thomson, Esq., of
Kingston, Member of the Provincial Parliament, for Frontenac, the father of
her remaining son, the Rev. C. E. Thomson, M.A., Rector of Elora, diocese of Niagara, and Rural Dean. Mrs. Thomson was left a widow in the prime
of life, and was married to her now sorrowing husband, the Rev. Dr. Townley, the 20th of April, 1837. For energy of
character, strong conscientiousness and an earnest effort to walk godly in
Christ Jesus, Mrs. Townley, was, we know, highly
distinguished. Take her moral, mental
and Christian characteristics all in all, and we really think that we are
more than commonly justified in saying: “We ne’er shall
look upon her like again.” And,
notwithstanding that she was spared to so ripe and age (upwards of 75 years)
and departed so calmly and with such bright prospects beyond, yet we cannot
withhold our sincere sympathies from her bereaved Husband and Son, and other
deeply attached friends, in this their irreparable loss. The Late Mrs. Townley - We perceive by the Paris Star that the remains
of the late Mrs. Townley, who died April 3rd, wife of
the late Rev. Adam Townley, D.D., Canon of Huron
Cathedral, were buried on Thursday. Mrs. Elizabeth Townley
was the only daughter of the late Wm. Ruttan, Esq., of the Bay of Quinte, an
officer in the British Army of the United States during the Revolutionary
War, who, at its close, came with his young wife, his older brother, Captain
Ruttan, and other United Empire Loyalists, to Canada, settling at once on the
Bay of Quinte, where he and wife died in ripe old age. Their daughter, our
late deceased friend, was born October 27th, 1800. She was married at a very
early age to Hugh C. Thomson, Esq., of Kingston, Member of the Provincial
Parliament for Frontenac, the father of her remaining son, the Rev. C.E.
Thomson, M.A., Rector of Elora, diocese of Niagara,
and Rural Dean. Mrs. Thomson was left a widow in the prime of life, and was
married to her now sorrowing husband, the Rev. Dr. Townley,
the 20th of April, 1837. |

Death - The many friends

attend the funeral of her brother-in-law, and while there had a bad spell.
Medical attention was secured and she was advised than an operation was
necessary. The operation was performed on Wednesday and apparently
successful, and the news on Saturday afternoon that she was dead cast a gloom
over the town. Miss Trumpour was a former resident of Adolphustown and came
to Napanee with her mother several years ago, and during her residence in
Napanee, endeared herself to a very large circle of friends, especially among
the younger people. |

OBITUARY –
Samuel Dorland Trumpour – Early Sunday morning last, All Saints’ Day, Samuel
Dorland Trumpour, well known to the citizens of Napanee, was most peacefully
called from his residence in Adolphustown to enter the fold of the church at
rest. The funeral was held the
following Tuesday at St. Alban’s Church, the Rector, Rev. W. Roberts, Mus.
Doc., conducting the service. The
deceased was born in Adolphustown being a descendant of the old Trumpour and
Dorland families, which originally of Dutch extraction, lived in New York
State until after the Revolutionary War, and then came to Canada among the
pioneer U.E. Loyalists. Mr. Trumpour
in earlier life lived in Prince Edward County, and was for fifteen years a
resident of Napanee;
the remainder of his life was spent in Adolphustown. He was a lifelong supporter of the
conservative party, and is among a very few who can lay claim to the
distinction of having gone to school with Sir John A Macdonald. In religion the deceased worshipped in the
old Quaker meeting house, which still stands on the shores of Hay Bay, but on
the breaking up of the Quakers as a distinct sect, he transferred his
allegiance to the Church of England.
Mr. Trumpour was of a retiring disposition; he never sought public office or
publicity in any way. Industry was the
keynote of his character, and by this means he amassed considerable
property. He served in the Fenian Raids in 1866 and was among those of the surviving
veterans who received medals in recognitions of their services. Until the last few years he had enjoyed the
best of health, having seldom suffered a day of illness. In 1870, he married a daughter of the late
Joseph Losee, who still survives him. He also leaves three children, Mrs. W. S.
Wannamaker, of Ameliasburgh; Herbert a prosperous and progressive farmer
in Adolphustown, and Harry, studying for the ministry at Wycliffe College,
Toronto, and an honor graduate of the University of Toronto. |

[*NOTE - In
original, spelling is “Trumpom”] MRS. SARAH
TRUMPOUR - Mrs. Sarah Trumpour, whose
maiden name was Bowers, was born in the township of Sophiasburg,
Prince Edward county, Ont., in the year 1817.
She was converted to God in early life, and united with the Wesleyan Church, her after Christian life affording undoubted
evidence of the genuine change grace had wrought in her. In after years, in her married life she was
happy, for her husband was a partner of the same like precious faith. Settling in the township of Hillier, she
became a member of the Methodist Society at Wellington. She held correct views of the higher
Christian life and being an ardent lover of ‘scriptural holiness,’ as taught
by the Methodist church, she always gave unwavering testimony of the fact, in
her own experience, that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth
from all sin. This grace made her
active in Christian service, exemplary in Christian life and character, and
in ripeness and maturity of
Christian experience to be called in at true sense, “a mother
in Israel.” Towards the close of life
a paralytic stroke partially disabled her for work, although recovering therefrom to a certain extent yet it left a sense of
feebleness. For two or three years
prior to her death she resided with her youngest son in Bloomfield, and
united with Methodist Society in that place.
For a time during the past winter she experienced a sense of more than
ordinary weakness, which proved to be the token of approaching dissolution. On the morning of Feb. 8th,
1886, while reclining to seek repose, and saying to the family as her last
utterance and dying testimony, “I am going to sleep with Jesus,” she peacefully
fell asleep in Christ, in the 69th year of her age. Her happy spirit rests forever with the
lord. Her remains were interred in the
burying ground at Wellington by the side of her husband. May the family follow their beloved
Christian parents, and fulfil all their promises to
meet them in that heavenly home beyond.

Tupper, Rev.
Reuben E. |
REV.
REUBEN E. TUPPER - Rev.
Reuben E. Tupper was born in the county of Leeds, on the 12th of
December, 1809. When about nine years
of age he yielded to the Spirit’s pleading and was led to trust in Jesus
Christ for salvation. Much of the
cheerful Christian experience and loving fidelity of his later years may be
traced to his early acceptance of Christ as his Saviour and consecration to
his service. In
1836, in response to the Master’s call, he engaged in the work of the
Christian ministry, but after one year of service he was compelled, on
account of ill health to locate for three years. Returning to the work, after the usual
probationary term he was received into full connexion
and ordained at the Conference of 1843.
Never possessing a vigorous constitution, he was obliged in 1855 to
superannuate, in which relation he remained for seven years. Returning
to the work in 1862, he spent about five years in faithful circuit service,
followed by four or five years in charge of Mount Elgin Industrial
School. He again superannuated in
1871. Three years more of rest, one of
service at Mount Brydges, eleven of superannuation
at London, and Bro. Tupper exchanged a changeful for the changeless
life. On Sunday, March 7th,
after a brief illness, he entered the rest that remaineth. As a
man Bro. Tupper was respected and beloved.
His quiet and often quaint demeanor, his kindly spirit and benevolent
nature, won for him not only a very desirable place in private friendship,
but also a large share of public esteem. As a
Christian he enjoyed a steady and constantly increasing wealth of happy
experience. He had a strong love and
deep reverence for the Word of God, and a growing attachment to the people of
God. Their fellowship was his joy and
delight. His zeal for the peace and
prosperity of Zion was very marked.
Her services to him were sweet and sacred. With great gladness of soul he was often
heard singing those beautiful lines: “Beyond
my highest joy, I
prize her heavenly ways, Her
sweet communion solemn vows, Her
hymns of love and praise.” As a
minister, Brother Tupper was called and chosen and faithful. Though subject to much physical infirmity,
sufficient to dishearten many yet such were his love and zeal for the work to
which he was called, that he never hesitated regarding the call of duty, but
did his work cheerfully and to the best of his ability. On
the 21st of February he attended church service for the last time,
saying at its close, “The Lord send thee help from the sanctuary, and
strengthen thee out of Zion.” On
the following Saturday he was taken ill, without any expectation of recovery
on his part. The thought of speedy
removal did not disturb his mind. His
trust in Jesus was unshaken. He richly
enjoyed the rest of faith, and rejoiced in strong assurance and hope of the
rest of heaven. After
one week’s illness he passed away in the triumph of Christian faith. He “was not, for God took him.” R.J. TRELEAVEN |

Hugh
Turner Killed – A very shocking accident occurred at Martin and Sayers’
flouring mills, Glenora, on Tuesday morning.
Hugh Turner was caught in a belt and whirled around a shaft to
instant death. Turner was working in
the mill on the ground floor and had been applying some belt dressing to a
belt running on a pulley on the main shaft, which is about shoulder
high. It is supposed his hand went too
near the pulley and was drawn in. The
unfortunate man was whirled around the shaft at a terrific speed, one belt
breaking and winding his left arm tight to the pulley. He made one cry for help, but when Mr.
Martin, who was not far from him arrived, and stopped the machinery, all was
over. Turner was dead. The left arm was torn from the socket and
almost severed from the body, both feet were mashed
to a pulp unrecognizable as feet.
There was no need of a doctor.
Coroner Whiteman went down Wednesday morning and issued a burial
certificate. The funeral took place
(today) Thursday at 10 o’clock. T.
Hugh Turner was a son of Mr. Thomas Turner of Black Creek, formerly of Picton, he was twenty-three years old and had been married
twice. He got his first wife in Lennox
County and for his second wife he married a Shaw of Picton, only about six
weeks ago. He was a hard working,
industrious man and he and his wife were just preparing to go keeping house
at Glenora, where he expected to have steady employment. Untimely
Calling Away Thomas
Hugh Turner, killed at Glenora roller mills on February 11th, was
the eldest son of Thomas Turner, Picton. He has one brother (J.W.) and three
sisters, Mrs. W.E. Holland, Misses Salina and Myrtle, at Glenora, with their
parents. Deceased was born in 1884; was married in 1904 to Miss Elsie Etta
Dorland, of Adolphustown, who died in 1905; on December 24th last
he was married to Miss Lena Shaw, of Glenora. The remains were taken to the
vault in Glenwood cemetery. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W.S.

- At North Fredericksburgh on Friday, February 11th, 1921, John Ungar, aged 74 years, 5 months. OBITUARY
- John W. Unger - Daniel
Unger, who in pre-union days, was an ordained deacon in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, shortly after his marriage settled in South
Fredericksburgh, on the farm which has since become the Unger homestead. There was born on Sept. 13th,
1846, a son, who was baptized John Wesley.
He had four brothers and three sisters. As a young man he, having the ministry in
view, studied for some time in Albert College. On account of ill health he had to abandon
that calling. He was a life long member of Grace Methodist Church, of which
church he was one of the oldest trustees and remained an official until his
death. His mind was well stored with
the Holy Scriptures, and many will not soon forget his recitations of long
passages in the Quarterly Fellowship meetings. During
the past year Time’s grim reaper has been very active in the Unger
family. Only about a year ago Nathan
was called to go, about a month ago, Nelson followed, and on Feb. 11th,
John was summoned to meet his two brothers on the other shore. His wife and two daughters, Ethel and Lilly,
predeceased him many years. He leaves
to mourn his loss three sons, Schuyler in the West, Edison in Montreal,
Gerald on the homestead;
and two daughters, Mrs. Vaughn, of Ottawa, and Miss Ella, of
Fall River, Mass. A good citizen, a
kind father and a Christian gentleman has left us. His
funeral, in charge of his Pastor, Rev. W. P. Rogers, took place on Sunday,
the 13th, in Grace Church.
The remains were placed in the Riverview vault. The

On
Friday night quite a commotion was created by the announcement of the death
of Miss Annie Urquhart. Deceased had been in poor health for some months and
had grown despondent and had been noticed and remarked to be acting strangely
at times, so much so that she had been under partial surveillance. At a time
unnoticed, when she was supposed to have gone to her room, to retire for the night, she gave
the other members of the family (her mother and brother with whom she
resided) the slip, and got out into the darkness and jumped into a deep well,
convenient to the house. Her absence was almost immediately noticed, the
alarm given and search made, with the result, that after a careful search of
the premises in the darkness, her body was discovered in the well in which there
was over six feet of water. The deceased was forty years of age. The funeral
took place at the Lutheran church at 2.30 p.m., Sunday, service being
conducted by Rev. W.W. Peck, M.A., of Napanee, assisted by Rev. W.T. Wickett, Morven. Miss
Annie Urquhart, of Chambers, aged about forty years, was found drowned in the
well of Mr. George Crabbe, of that place, last Friday night about 10 o'clock.
Deceased had been ailing mentally for some time past. Much sympathy is
expressed for her widowed mother and her brother. URQUHART

OBITUARY
- At Deseronto, on Wednesday, 24th March, 1915, at 8 p.m., at the
age of 79 years, 7 months and 11 days, Mr. Gordon D. G. Valleau
fell asleep in Jesus. Mr. Valleau was converted to God when a boy and had been a
consistent member of the Methodist Church up until his departure. During all those years he walked with God
closely. Bro. Valleau
loved to serve his Master. In 1859, he
gave himself up to the ministry and was a grand local preacher, and was an
instrument in God’s hands of bringing many souls to seek a higher and nobler
life. He conducted a great many
revivals at Mount Pleasant and Selby.
For the past few years he had been unable to attend the church he
dearly loved as often as he would like, but he was always willing to lend a
helping hand to any who needed help and to give comforting and cheering words
to any in trouble. He was a man very
highly appreciated and respected by all who knew him; a good man in the church and a
loving and affectionate husband and father in the home. He leaves to mourn his loss a loving wife
and three sons, the two eldest residing at Gananoque, and Gordon at home with
his mother; also two brothers, William, of Saskatchewan, and George W., of Selby. One brother passed away on the 13th
of March, 1915, at California. Still
we sorrow not as those who have no hope, for his life and testimony is a
benediction still and his family shall surely call him blessed as they recall
his simple faith and trust in Christ.
We commit his body to the dearth in a sure and certain hope of a part
in the first resurrection. “Let me die
the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.” |

Valleau, Willet |
Mr.
Willet Valleau - At Allisonville on the morning of April 25, 1924, there
passed away in the better land, Mr. Willet Valleau. He was one of Prince Edward county’s oldest
citizens, and was almost 90 years of age.
He was born in the Burr neighborhood, in Hillier, in September,
1834. He was the son of Peter and
Martha Potter Valleau, and the grandson of
Cornelius and Ann Rowe Valleau, and the great
grandson of Lieut. Peter Valleau, who left New York
city September 8, 1783, and who landed on the shores of Adolphustown, June 16,
1784. On both sides of the family
tree, all of his great-grandparents were among that now famous band of United
Empire Loyalists whose names are immortalized in Canadian history. As time passed hoary years rested gently on
his trembling frame and playfully crowned his brow with roseate hue, like the
lingering rays of the setting sun. But
few of all those who begin life here in mortality’s vale succeed in reaching
so great an age. Rarely do we find one
whose career is measured off by four score years and ten. His wife, who was Miss Edith Snider,
daughter of George Snider, one of the old pioneers of Massassaga
Point, predeceased him about four years ago.
Since then he has oftimes been lonely, and
with eyes bedimmed with age, he has been standing, leaning on his staff like
pious Jacob of old, and looking across death’s narrow stream beyond the
tide. Tired, weary, careworn, he stood
peering through the lattice, anxiously awaiting the summons - the echo of the
harvest call. Of a family of seven
sons and three daughters only one is left, Mrs. W. K. Burr of Lockport,
Illinois. In
politics Mr. Valleau was a Liberal; in religion, a
Methodist. In the year 1860, during a
revival meeting at Crofton, conducted by the Rev. Hiram Williams of the M. E.
Church, he and his wife were converted.
And for many years he was a member of the official board, and a
leading member of the church. He was
naturally kind hearted, genial, gently and obliging. His home was a home for he
preachers, and they were always generously entertained and received a most
cordial welcome and Christian greeting. He
was a remarkably kind husband, a good parent and an obliging neighbor. He had a family of two sons and two
daughters. They are all living and
were in attendance at the funeral; Mr.
Stanley E. Valleau of Toronto, Mrs. Robert Hazzard
of Bloomfield, Mrs. Samuel Rankin of Salmon Point, and Mr. Grant Valleau of Allisonville with
whom Mr. Valleau resided at the time of his
death. The funeral was held at the
Burr church and was very largely attended.
The gallery and aisles, as well as the body of the church, were all
occupied. The Rev. Gardnier
of the Melville circuit officiated.
His theme was: “Precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” His address was appropriate and was
listened to with marked attention. Mr.
Densmore Ainsworth and son, of Wellington, were the
funeral directors. Interment was made
in the Burr cemetery. Truly, precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. The
death last week of Mr. Willet Valleau, at the home
of his son, Mr. Grant Valleau, removes one of the
oldest and most highly respected residents of Hillier township. He was a man of industry, honesty and
integrity - a type of the sturdy, God-fearing men, whose lives have enriched
the rural communities. The deceased,
who was ill but a few days, was in his ninetieth year. He was a member of the Methodist
church. Surviving are two daughters,
Mrs. Rankin and Mrs. Hazard of Bloomfield, and two sons, Stanley of Toronto,
and Grant on the homestead. The
funeral, which was largely attended, was held on Sunday afternoon from his
late residence to Burr’s church, where Rev. G. W. Gardner spoke from the
text, Psalm 116-15, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his
saints.” the
choir, with Mrs. Hogle as accompanist, contributed
a beautiful selection. Interment was
made in Burr’s cemetery, the bearers being, Messrs. Charles McFaul, Lewis
McFaul, Bruce McFaul, Merritt McFaul, Spencer Huffman and George Ferguson. |

Valleyan, Child |
Sad
Occurrence - A very melancholy affair occurred last night at Selby. A child
of Mr. William Valleyan, between 6 and 7 years of
age, was sick with croup, and the doctor had prescribed steaming. This was
done by dropping a hot iron into a tub of water and holding the child,
wrapped in a blanket, over a tub. The little sufferer begged his mother not
to hold him over the steam, as he would be scalded, and she endeavored to
quiet his fears, but he said he knew he would be scalded. The little fellow's
fears were but too well founded - the iron was too hot, and the child was
scalded so badly that he died shortly after. the
mother was frantic with grief, and it was feared for some days that her
reason was permanently gone; but we are pleased to learn she is improving. |

other places. He came to Kingston and was connected with the Frontenac
Milling Company until its close, going from there to the Canadian Locomotive
Company, whom he served faithfully until his illness. Mr.

DEATH'S
HARVEST - Mrs. Elliott VanAlstine -- Passed peacefully away to rest last
Monday morning, after an illness of but a few weeks, cut off in the first
flush of womanhood. Deceased was married to her bereaved husband about four
years ago, coming to Napanee as a bride. She proved herself a model wife, and
gained the respect and esteem of all who had the pleasure of her
acquaintance. She bore her trying illness with Christian fortitude, and died
surrounded by her husband and friends. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. David
Young, of Sillsville. Mrs. VanAlstine was an active member of the Ladies Aid
of the Presbyterian church, and will be greatly missed by the members of the
Society. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. W.W. Peck
and were largely attended, the members of Napanee Lodge I.O.O.F. of which Mr.
VanAlstine is a member, attending in a body. The handsome casket was covered
with wreaths and flowers, the last thoughtful tokens from loving and admiring
friends. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to Mr. VanAlstine and
the bereaved friends in this their hour of trial. It
is our sad duty today to report the death of Mrs. Elliot Vanalstine,
which occurred yesterday evening at five o'clock, after an illness of over
five weeks. Deceased, whose maiden name was Ella Young, eldest daughter of
David Young of Sillsville, was in her 25th year, and had been
married only about four years. The sorrowing
husband, father, mother and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all.
About six weeks ago, Mrs. Vanalstine was taken ill
with an attack of grippe, which could not be arrested although the best
medical aid both in Napanee and Kingston was employed. For a time it was
hoped that the disease was overcome but Mrs. Vanalstine
grew weaker each day and being unable to take any solid food for over five
weeks she became so weakened that the disease proved fatal. The funeral will
be announced later. |

Death
of Rev. C. Vandusen - The Christian
Guardian last week contained the following: - "Just as we are going to
press we receive the following note from the Rev. W.H. Laird: The Rev. Conrad
Vandusen passed away peacefully on the evening of yesterday. He had been in
very feeble health for some months - expectantly waiting for his release. Our
venerable friend hailed his hour of departure with delight." The
deceased was well known throughout the whole country. He was one of the
oldest ministers of the Methodist Church of Canada, and was born in the
Township of Adolphustown, not many years after its first settlement by U.E.
Loyalists. His father kept the first public house between Kingston and York,
and when converted deliberately cut down his sign with an axe and banished
liquor from the premises. The subject of this brief notice had been
superannuated for several years, and resided at Whitby. |

VanLuven, Cornelius |
The Late
Cornelius Van Luven Esq. We
regret to have to announce the death of Cornelius Van Luven,
Esq., which took place on Dec. 27th. He passed quietly away after a short
illness, at the family homestead, Murvale. He was born in the year 1800, and his age at
the time of his death was 82 years and a few months. He was one of a long-lived family. One brother died on Thanksgiving day, aged
85 years; another
brother lives at Battersea, aged 88 years; there are also two aged sisters
living. The family came from near
Albany, N.Y. His grandfather was one
of the first settlers near Bath in the township of Ernesttown, long before
the Revolutionary war. Cornelius, when
a young man, was in the employ of John G. Cartwright, Esq., by whom he was
much respected and trusted. Mr.
Cartwright was desirous that Young Van Luven should
take charge of his outside business which was very large, but he was more
inclined to be independent and at the age of 28 years he purchased from J. S.
Cartwright, Esq., the farm and homestead where he had resided for over 54
years. In 1824 he married Sarah Amey,
a descendant of an U.E. Loyalist family that came from Little Falls, N.Y., at
the time of the Revolutionary war. Her
grandfather and a neighbor went one day to the woods to chop, but not
returning search was made and their bodies were found mutilated and scalped
by Indians. The family then sought
refuge in Canada under the British flag.
Mrs. VanLuven is 78 years of age and feels
keenly the separation from her husband.
They had a family of ten children - one dead and nine living, seven of
whom were boys and two girls, all married and occupying respectable
positions. They are: G. W. VanLuven,
Brockville, who has one daughter; Zara Van Luven,
merchant and postmaster, Moscow, who has one son a gaoler
at Napanee, another a clerk in Hinch & Scott’s
and two others at home; Peter Van Luven, Esq., retired farmer, Moscow, who is a director of
the N. T. & Q. Railway and a J.P.;
Alpheus VanLuven, manufacturer, Yarker, and
President of the Branch Reform Association.
The latter is married to a daughter of the late Samuel Scott, another
old U.E. family; their son assists the
father in his business and the daughter is married to Mr. John Ewart, woollen manufacturer,
and an ingenious mechanic and taxidermist, whose studio is full of rare
specimens of art which are worthy of inspection. Michael VanLuven,
Sydenham, harness-maker and independent;
Jane Van Luven married Mr. Geo. Robinson,
paper maker, Newburgh; Thos. Van Luven, Esq., county Treasurer, Frontenac, is another
son; John B. Van Luven,
another son, resides on the homestead and works the farm.’; Emily Van Luven
married Mr. George McKay, Brockville, conductor G.T.R. and has one
child. Cornelius Van Luven’s course through life was characterized by
straightforwardness, integrity and perseverance, which gave him a position of
esteem in the hearts of all who became acquainted with him. In early life he joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church and
for over fifty years was a constant attendant in the house of God and for a
long time a class leader and always active for the interests of the
church. He was genial and unobtrusive
and no cause which he considered right ever appealed to him in vain. He was a constant advocate of temperance
principles; always
opposed to the liquor business in every shape and form. In politics he was a
Reformer from principle. Early in life
he identified himself with that noble band of patriots that stood out firmly
against the tyranny of the family compact.
He never wavered in his allegiance to Liberal principles and he had
the satisfaction to see tyranny in church and state overthrown and
responsible government established.
Within his lifetime Canada has advanced from one province to a
Dominion of seven, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. His long life includes parts of the reigns
of four British Sovereigns. He was a
lad of five when Trafalgar was fought, in his teen when Wellington overthrew
Napoleon at Waterloo. When a lad 12
years old he drove his brother to Kingston to join his regiment to take part
in the war of 1812 and he was attracted by the music to join as a drummer
boy, but he had to take the horses home and take care of the old folks, his
mother anxiously awaiting his return.
In the rebellion of 1837-38 he was one who went to Kingston and took
up arms against the rebels, giving the lie to those who now-a-days look upon
the Reformers of that day as rebels, for no more loyal set of men ever lived
than the Reformers of ’37 and ’38, and among them Cornelius Van Luven was one who stood in the front to defend the rights
of the Crown and the Freedom of the people.
What a lot of wonderful events have occurred since this old veteran
came into the world at the commencement of the present century? In his time railways, steamboats, steam
printing presses, matches, telegraphing, telephone, and a multitude of other
improvements in agriculture came into use.
He leaves behind him an example worthy of imitation and a name that
his children may be proud of. His life
should be an example to those who have wandered away from their first
principles and are now unrespected even by those
who they have joined. Let them return,
and thus like our departed friend, leave behind them an honoured
name which is better than great riches. |

VanLuven, Martha Emily (nee Hoffman) |
Late
Mrs. Peter VanLuven Reminiscent
of Pioneer Days of the Hoffman Settlement There
was laid to rest in Yarker United Church cemetery recently the mortal remains
of Mrs. Peter VanLuven, formerly of that place, but
latterly of Brockville. Martha
Emily Hoffman was born in the Hoffman Settlement, township of Camden,
Addington County, on February 19, 1838, and was in her eighty-ninth year at
the time of her departure. Her demise has severed the last remaining link
with pioneer days in that neighborhood. She was the daughter of Elijah
Hoffman and Agnes Neville. Elijah and his brother Jacob were the first
settlers in the district. The two brothers were of United Empire Loyalist
stock, and came to the country in 1823, taking up their allotments of land
along what is now known as Hoffman Street. At that time there were no roads,
and the Hoffman brothers were obliged to pack their supplies over blazed
trails through the solid forests from below Napanee, a distance of over
twenty miles. Their father, Elias Hoffman, was one of that company
of brave and true loyalists to the British cause in the Revolutionary War
that landed upon the shores of the Bay of Quinte sometime toward the end of
the eighteenth century. He crossed over from South Fredericksburgh and
located along the Napanee River, a short distance from where the town of that
name now stands. It was there that Elijah and Jacob were raised, and from
there that they set out through the wilderness to locate and build up homes
for themselves. Over
a century has passed away since the two brothers first came into the woods of
what in later years was known as the “Hoffman Settlement.” There they cleared
the land, built their homes and raised their families. The last member of the
second generation of Hoffmans to be called away was
Martha Emily, youngest daughter of pioneer Elijah Hoffman. At
the age of twenty-one years she was joined in marriage to Peter VanLuven, who predeceased her some fifteen years. She had
been a life-long Methodist, a devoted Christian and a faithful worker in the
church to which she belonged. She was the mother to two children, one of
which, Franklin E. died in 1922, the other, Nellie E. (Mrs. M.C. Dunn),
living in Brockville. After
retiring from the farm Mr. and Mrs. VanLuven came
to Yarker to live; and after the former’s death, Mrs. VanLuven
went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Dunn. She leaves behind her a host of
friends, who remember her as one whose door and whose heart were always open
to welcome them, and whose hand was always outstretched in friendliness and
charity. G.T.

died at his residence Lake Street, Picton, on Saturday, 29th
October. Mr. VanVlack
had been ailing with rheumatism for the past three years. He had been confined to his house about
four weeks and Bright’s Disease was the cause of
death. He was a patient and resigned
sufferer. He was born at Waupoos, the son of the late Elias VanVlack
and Sarah Johnson. He was aged 74
years. He was a prosperous farmer and
fruit grower, having on his Waupoos farm as good an
orchard of its size as the county boasts.
Mr. VanVlack was held in the highest esteem
of a host of friends. Some five years
ago he retired from farming and moved to Picton. His widow, whose maiden name was Sarah Hurlbut, and two daughters survive, besides a brother,
George. The daughters are Mrs. Stanley
Palen, of Waupoos and

held on Tuesday and was largely attended by Picton and Waupoos
friends. Rev. Mr. Seaborn,

OBITUARY
- THE LATE JOHN VINE - Death
came with startling suddenness to one of Napanee’s best known and highly respected
residents in the person of Mr. John Vine, who passed away very shortly after
the midnight hour on Monday morning.
Although Mr. Vine had not been in the best of health for some time, he
was around as usual, and on Sunday morning, after partaking of a hearty
breakfast, took very ill and all day Sunday his condition was very serious,
in fact so much so that word was sent to his daughter, Mrs. Treleaven, in Toronto, to come to Napanee at once. Death was due to heart trouble, of which he
had been a sufferer for some time. Mr.
Vine was one of seven children, and he was the last surviving member of the
family. His parents were Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Vine, and he was born and always resided in Napanee. He was 82 years of age and was one of the
oldest members of Argyll Lodge No. 212, l.O.O.F. He loved Oddfellowship,
and until a few years ago was a regular attendant at the lodge session. He was also a lifelong member of Trinity
Church. His passing came as a great
shock to his many friends in Napanee and district. Surviving are his widow, who before her
marriage was Miss Fairbairn, three sons, A. G. Vine and George Vine, of
Winnipeg; John Vine, of Watertown and
four daughters, Mrs. W. B. Sills, and Mrs. Edwin Miller, Napanee; Mrs. Treleaven,
of Toronto, and Miss Laura Vine, Reg. N., of New York City. His son, A. G. Vine, of Winnipeg, spent a
few days last week in town with his parents and had just recently returned to
the west. |

Napanee,
Nov. 4 - Another respected and aged resident of Napanee, Mrs. William
Vrooman, mother of Dr. J.P. Vrooman of this town, died on Wednesday afternoon.

quite as well as usual, but was not thought to be seriously worse until the

county, being the daughter of Mr. Richard Ham of South Fredericksburgh and
after her marriage lived in Centreville, where she has many friends as well
as in Napanee and vicinity. Her husband predeceased her many years ago, but
she leaves behind her five children, Mrs. Nelson Wagar and Miss Vrooman of
Napanee and Mrs. Thomas Barry of Tamworth and Dr. J.P. Vrooman and Mr.
Bidwell Vrooman, postmaster of Walkerville, who
will most sincerely mourn her loss. VROOMAN
