Wagar, Jacob H.	A NONOGENARIAN - Mr. Jacob H. Wagar, one of the old landmarks of the county, died at the residence of his son, Dr. N. Wagar, on Saturday morning last, aged 92 years and four months. Deceased retained all his faculties to the last, and was able to be about the house as usual the day before he died. The cause of his death was evidently heart failure. Mr. Wagar was born in the Township of South Fredericksburgh, where he spent most of his days, coming to Napanee a few years ago to reside with his son. Deceased was a staunch liberal, and in his younger days took a deep interest in the affairs of his native township, and sat at its council board. Mrs. Wagar predeceased him eight years, and out of a large family of eleven children there now remain but four, Dr. Wagar, Napanee, Allan Wagar, South River Road, George, on the homestead, and Mrs. Arthur Snyder, Thousand Island Park, NY. Years ago a sad misfortune befell the family. Mr. and Mrs. Wagar had gone out to spend the evening with a neighbor. During their absence the house took fire and on their return it was reduced to ashes, their five children perishing in the flames. Death of Jacob H. Wagar Mr. Jacob H. Wagar passed peacefully away at the home of his son, Dr. N. Wagar on Saturday afternoon last at 2 p.m. at the ripe old age of 92 years, 4 months, and 5 days. The cause of death was simply old age. He ate his dinner on Saturday and as was usual, retired shortly afterwards. About twenty minutes afterwards, Mrs. Wagar went to his room to see if he was comfortable, or if he needed anything, and found him cold in death. Evidently, he had not moved after getting in bed, simply going to sleep, never to awaken again in this world. Mr. Wagar was well known in this section of the country, having been born in the township of North Fredericksburgh, in the year 1811, where he resided on his farm the greater period of his existence. His wife predeceased him about eight years ago. Of a family of eleven children four are left to mourn, three sons and one daughter, as follows; Dr. N. Wagar, Napanee, Allen Wagar, on the homestead, North Fredericksburgh, George Wagar of the same township, and Mrs. Snider, , 1000 Island Park.

Wagar, James Everton	Wagar - Accidentally killed near his residence, South Napanee, on Monday, 7^th inst., James Everton Wagar, aged 24 years, 7 months and 24 days. Terribly Sudden Death On Monday last a very sad accident occurred in South Napanee, in consequence of which Mr. James Everton Wagar, a well known citizen of Napanee was instantly killed. Mr. Wm. Ferguson had a number of men assisting to jack up a building he has recently purchased preparatory to putting new sills underneath it. Mr. Wagar was one of the men thus employed. As they were about to lower the building on a temporary foundation he was at one of the jacks, which appears to have slipped from its foundation letting that end of the building suddenly settle. He was caught under the building and its weight suddenly crushed the life out of him. He only breathed a few times after being relieved from the weight of the building. Deceased was a strong and healthy man, just apparently in the prime of life, and in his 25th year. He had only commenced work for Mr. Ferguson that morning. Last year his wife died, of consumption, and soon after their only child also died. The entire family has thus been swept away. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wagar, also well-known residents of our town. The funeral took place from his late residence on Wednesday afternoon, and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Bartlett, the interment being in the Napanee Cemetery. Only a couple of months ago he took out a twenty-year endowment life policy with the Crown Life company, of which Mr. Hartley Lapum is agent, on which he had only paid two installments. An Inquest Ordered - In order that all the facts in connection with this terrible accident may be made clear, Mr. J.C. Huffman, coroner, thought best to order an inquest. The following gentlemen were sworn in as jurors on Tuesday; Robert Boyes, foreman; Albert Root, J.H. Fitzpatrick, W. Maybee, M.T. Vanslyck, Levi Storms, J. Lafave, C.W. Guess, M.H. Shibley, Fred. J.

Walker, Isaac	ISAAC WALKER - Was born of Methodist parents in county Sligo, Ireland, in 1846. He died at Mono Road, April 9^th, 1885. The class met at his father’s house in Ireland. Deep impressions were thus made upon his susceptible heart. Early in life he learned to believe in the necessity, the reality, the blessedness of heartfelt piety. In 1867, under the ministry of Rev. B. Sherlook, on Albion Circuit, he found the one thing needful. To the end he kept the faith, enduring as seeing him who is invisible. For two weeks, as death was laying his hand on a strong frame, he suffered agonies of pain, but without a murmur. “Not a doubt,” was his repeated testimony to his minister in regard to the Saviour’s pardoning love. Again and again he expressed his gratitude that he had been led to Christ before the days of pain and dying agony. To his wife, the second daughter of Bro. Joseph Lindsay, with whom, for sixteen years, he had shared life’s sorrows and its joys, he said, “I am going to leave you; it is not now I have to begin to seek God; I’ll soon be drinking at the fountain.” Ten children, from whom he felt it hard to part, were left behind. Trusting to that faithful God whose promise is to be “a father of the fatherless,” he was enabled to say, “Thy will be done.” The sudden call of one so generally esteemed, and so much needed in life’s early prime has made a deep impression.

Walker, Jessie (nee Robertson)	MRS. WALKER - Relict of the late Alexander Walker, Esq., Mitchell, county of Perth, Ont., died at Lion’s Head, in the house of her son-in-law, Feb. 14^th, 1887. Her maiden name was Jessie Robertson, a native of Blair-Athol, Scotland. She was godly from her youth to her age. In early life she was a member of the Presbyterian Church in her native place. In company with her husband and a growing family she came to Canada thirty-three or thirty-four years ago. Owing to distance from the services of the people of her early communion, and that the Methodists were close by, she gave her name as a member with them. She was a constant reader and warm admirer of the GUARDIAN. Her piety was constant, consistent, and deep-toned; her intelligent, broad catholicity of spirit, was very refreshing. At times it sounded like her Master’s own voice as he said, “Whosoever shall do the will of my Father in Heaven, the same is my mother and sister and brother.” During her long life her faith failed not, though severely tried. Seven of her ten children and her husband having been called away before her - one of them in the very prime of life by drowning - her chastened cheerfulness, faith, hope and love showed how grace can sustain its children on the earth and make meet for heaven. Her remains were taken by train from the Peninsula to Mitchell, and laid by the side of her husband to await the resurrection of the just. [signed] Robert Carson		March 9 1887 The Christian Guardian

Wallace, Ann	MISS ANN WALLACE - The subject of this brief notice was born at Castledigge, county Tyrone, Ireland. Residing on the Strachan Circuit, while yet young, she gave her heart to God. Coming to this country with her family, they settled in the township of Albion. After the death of her parents she came to reside with her only brother, John, who is very widely known by a large circle of Methodist ministers. His house was a home for the Methodist itinerant for many years, and is today a home like that spoken of in Scripture, where the blessed Master used to resort. Here with the brother and his wife two of the sisters have lived up till June 18^th, when Ann, the eldest of the family, passed away to her final rest in great peace. Her illness was short, but through it all she had a sure sense of God’s presence and favor, often speaking of the rest of heaven as her final home. Friday evening she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, in the 54^th year of her age. On Sunday, June 21^st, we laid her remains away in the Mount Hurst burial ground, to await the resurrection of the just.

Walrath was known to his many friends and neighbors as a man of clean, honest and upright character, also one of the most active men in agricultural pursuits in the township. He was a staunch Liberal in politics though never a politician. Dropsical heart trouble was the cause of death and though his last illness was of less than a year’s duration he was a great sufferer. He was resigned to go and many times during the last two days while his loved ones were standing by his bedside, he murmured, “Lord take me now.” and after the poor tired body was at rest, many spoke of the calm, sweet smile that had lingered even through the pangs of death. Besides his widow, to whom he was married in Selby, on Nov. 23 1880, he leaves his only child, Mrs. George H. Brooks, to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father.

Mr. Garratt, his pastor, who had visited him several times during his illness, took the service. Mr. Garratt chose as his text, Chron. 1 Chap 29, part of the 15^th verse, - “Our days on the earth are as a shadow and there is none abiding.” All the pain and grief are over, Every restless tossing passed. He is now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. And He cam Himself to meet him, In that way so hard to tread, And with Jesus’ arm to lean on, Could he have one doubt or dread.		1918 Scrapbook Clipping

Ward, George Collins Tremaine	WARD – At his residence, East St., Napanee, on Saturday, July 27^th, 1912, George Collins Tremaine Ward, M. D., aged 56 years and 6 months. DEATH OF DR. G. C. T. WARD – Our citizens were shocked to learn on Saturday evening that one of our highly esteemed and most able physicians, in the person of Dr. George Collins Tremaine Ward, had suddenly passed away at his residence, East St., heart trouble being the cause. Dr. Ward was born at Cataraqui, Ont., in 1856. He lived for a few years on a farm at Sandy Creek, N.Y., and afterwards attended Grammar School at Kingston and Bath. In the year 1879, he graduated from Queen’s University Kingston, and commenced the practice of his profession in Napanee the same year. During his long residence in Napanee – some thirty-three years – the doctor has given much of his time and ability for the welfare of the town. He has represented East Ward for many years in the Town Council and in 1897 was elected Mayor. He also gave valuable service on the Board of Electric Light Commissioners when the town had a municipal plant. Doctor Ward was one of the many examples of what a young man of the right stuff may attain to in this Canada of ours. He was a self made man, and from the age of fifteen years was largely dependent upon himself. While living at Bath, for part of two summers, he drove the mail from Kingston to Sandhurst and return daily. While a teacher he spent his holidays selling books and maps. At College he won, by competitive examination, the appointment of Demonstrator of Anatomy. By these various means he managed to get through College a little better than even with the world, and during the thirty-three years of his residence in Napanee had worked up a large and lucrative practice. Besides his sorrowing wife, he leaves five children, Dr. Harold Ward, New York City; Mrs. H.P.

Ward, Mary (nee Tremaine)	Mrs. Mary Tremaine Ward – Who died on Saturday Nov 2d 1907, at the residence of her son, Dr. G. C. Tremaine Ward, which has been her home for the past twenty years, was born in Rodman, N.Y. in 1816. She came to Waterloo, now named Cataraqui, when a young woman, as assistant teacher in her brother’s school, afterwards marrying John Ferris Ward of that place, whose death occurred nine years ago. Her father, Reuben Tremaine, was a congregational preacher, and the family were brought up according to the strict Puritan customs. Her husband was a member of the Society of Friends. The children, three boys and two girls are all living, inheriting vigorous constitutions. Mrs. Ward was a woman of unusual intellectual powers, a student and lover of nature, and always taking keen interest in current affairs, reading the daily papers until the last few weeks. She kept in touch with the friends of early life by correspondence and visits, until their dropping off one by one, she was nearly alone. Our venerable townsman, Mr. John Gibbard, was a schoolmate in Rodman. Her firmly established Christian faith enabled her to meet death in the same calm, cheerful spirit that had upheld her in the inevitable trials of life. She retained her mental faculties until the last. Her physical death was of the gentlest like the dying away of a summer breeze. Her practical sense in every day affairs her unswerving faith in God’s guidance, and her artistic nature, were elements of character which cause her to be held in loving remembrance.		1907 From the Watson Scrapbooks

Warner, Sidney	The Late Sidney Warner - A Sketch of a Worthy Resident - His Funeral Very Largely Attended The late Sidney Warner, of Wilton whose sudden death on Monday was recorded, was the eldest son of the late Stephen Warner, and was born in Montgomery county, New York. He came into Canada in 1812. His father located on what was known as the "John Bell farm" in Fredericksburgh. In 1824, the family moved to Ernesttown. Mr. Warner early in life evinced a desire for a mercantile calling, and opened up business on the farm, but in 1832 moved to Wilton, where he successfully carried on business for forty years. Deceased was a Methodist and gave liberally towards the support of the ministry. In 1832 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace and postmaster at Wilton, which office he resigned six months before his death. Mr. Warner was always Liberal in politics. He was elected a member of the old district council in 1847. For many years he was Reeve of Ernesttown, Warden of the United Counties, and later Warden of Lennox and Addington.

Wartman, A. E.	SERGT. A. E. WARTMAN eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wartman of Newburgh and a nephew of Mrs. M. E. Shorey, 151 Robert Street, died in hospital in France on Oct 16 from a wound in the thigh received on Sept 17 while he was helping to bring in the wounded. Pte. Wartman was studying medicine at Queen’s University, Kingston, and came to Toronto to enlist in the 5^th Field ambulance Canadian Army Medical Corps, with which he went overseas. He was [illegible] years of age. He was a member of the Masonic Order. THE LATE SERGT. A. E. WARTMAN, B.A. In the death of Sergt. A. E. Wartman, B.A., Canada has lost one of her most promising young men. He was born at Wesley, near Newburgh, where his father, George E. Wartman, still resides. At twelve years of age he gained admittance into the Newburgh High School, from which he secured his Second Class certificate, with honors, also his Junior matriculation. Wishing a University course, he went to Napanee Collegiate in order to receive his Senior Matriculation. In the fall of 1909, he entered Queen’s University, starting an Arts course. Always being a lover of nature and an out-door life, at the commencement of his second year at college, in addition to his Arts course he decided to take out a B.Sc. degree with a view to being a Civil Engineer. In 1912, he secured his B.A. degree, but a severe attack of heart trouble unfitted him for the strenuous life of a Civil Engineer, and led him to decide on a course in medicine. At the outbreak of war he offered his services to his country. Failing to pass the medical examination at Regina, he again offered himself at Toronto, where he was accepted. In place of coming home the fall of 1914 to enter upon his third year of medical work, he came to tell his parents and brothers that he had enlisted and was accepted for overseas service, as a member of the 5^th Field ambulance Corps. “For you know,”, he said, “I thought you would consent to my going, when you knew that wounded men lie for days where they fall on the battlefield, unattended and with no one to help them.” April, 1915, he crossed to England. He was soon in active service in France, where his thoughts were of others. His work on the two terrible days of September 15^th and 16^th, 1916, secured for him the recommendation of a Distinguished Conduct medal. On September 17^th, while manfully and cheerfully doing his duty, of rescuing others who had fallen in the fierce of the fight, he, himself received his death wound, from a piece of shrapnel entering his right side and penetrating his lung. Being weakened from the wound, which was most serious in itself, he apparently seemed to hold his own for a few weeks, until pneumonia set in and he died October 16^th. His superior officer paid him this tribute, “He has been of great use to his comrades, his officers and his country. I have depended on him often as much as on my graduated medical officers.” Sergt. Wartman was a member of the Methodist Church from a boy. At a farewell given him by his friends and the members of his Sunday School class, he assured them he had thoroughly considered the step he was taking, from all its standpoints, and should he not return all was well. About the time of his enlistment he left this autograph which certainly seemed to be his motto: - “Lost is that day, Whose low, departing sun, Sees not to man, Some little kindness done.” On Sunday afternoon, November 5^th, an impressive memorial Service was held in the Methodist Church at Wesley, conducted by the Pastor, Rev. E. Farnsworth, assisted by Rev. C. W. DeMille, and D. A. Nesbitt, B.A., a former teacher. The masons were in attendance, he being a member of the Prince of Wales Lodge. The esteem in which he was held was shown by the numbers who from far and near, attended to pay their tribute to his memory. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”		Nov 1915 Scrapbook Clipping

Wartman, Dr. Courtland H.	At Napanee, on Monday July 31^st, 1916, Dr. Courtland H. Wartman, aged 58 years DR. C. H. WARTMAN - It was with a great sense of loss that the community at large heard of the sudden death of Dr. Cortland Homer Wartman, on July 31^st, at his home in Napanee. Apparently in his usual health until a week previous, his passing was unexpected and deeply regretted. The deceased was the 7^th son of Peter Wartman and Rhoda Shibley, and was born at Glenvale, Kingston Township, August 21^st, 1858. Just thirty-three years ago he married Miss Emma Leonard, daughter of John A. Leonard, Esq. Receiving his certificate from Sydenham High School, he taught in the home community, going from there to Iowa as Principal of the State Industrial School for boys, which position he held for six years, his wife being Musical Instructress. He resigned this position to study dentistry, and after graduation, he practised in Napanee with his brother, and after Dr. C. D. Wartman’s death, continued the office alone, completing twenty-five years. He was the last of ten children, seven sons and three daughters. His great grandfather was Captain Grass, who piloted the U.E.L. contingent up the river to what is now Kingston. Another great grandfather came with his family from the Susquehanna Valley, following the Revolutionary War, and they were related to Laura Secord. With such an ancestry, it is not a surprise that the two sons of Dr. Wartman, are in khaki, Clarence in France and Leonard at Barriefield. For twenty-three years he was Superintendent of Trinity Methodist Sunday School, and was intimately associated with every department of Church work. Quiet and unassuming he did not fill as large a place in the public eye as a man who forces himself, but an exceptionally large circle of friends experience a deep loss in his passing. Expressions of regret and sympathy from Church Boards and the School Board, of which he was a member, show the esteem in which he was held by the men with whom he worked.		1916 From the Watson Scrapbooks & Scrapbook Clipping

Washburn Ebenezer	At Hallowell, on Sunday, the 12th November, Ebenezer Washburn, Esq., aged 70 years, 7 months, and 4 days, universally regretted by a numerous family and acquaintance. He was born in the province (now State) of Massachusetts, on 8th April, 1756, and joined the Royal standard shortly after the commencement of hostilities between the colonies and Great Britain, under which he continued during the remainder of the revolutionary struggle. After the peace he came to his District, as one of the first settlers, since which time he has been one of our most active, industrious and enterprising inhabitants; and in the mercantile transactions in which he has engaged, was generally characterised for assiduity, punctuality, and integrity. In him was fully exemplified the summit of human virtue so simply yet elegantly described by the poet, "An honest man's the noblest work of God." In public life, he filled the offices of Justice of the Peace, and member of Parliament in two different sessions, to the honor of himself and the benefit and satisfaction of the public. In private life he was social, affectionate, and friendly. The disease which terminated his existence was dropsy, under which he laboured for nearly the last ten years of his life. During the last eighteen months he underwent the operation of tapping* ten times, without ever repining or murmuring at the will of Divine Providence. He was perfectly conscious of his approaching dissolution, and met it with that fortitude and resignation which could only arise from the prospect of a happy futurity; knowing that if his earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, he had a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. *Dates of the different tappings &c. &c. 1825, July 7, Water extracted 14 qts. 0 pts.

Weese, Peter D.	OBITUARIES - PETER D. WEESE One of the best known and most highly esteemed residents of the Township of Ernesttown passed away at his home, near Bath on Tuesday morning, March 14^th, 1939. The funeral service was held on Thursday afternoon at Bath United Church, and was conducted by Rev. G. T. McKenzie. Mr. Weese, who was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Weese, had been in failing health for some time and his many friends were sorry to hear of his death. He died on the farm where he had lived for the past 55 years. The deceased, who was a Conservative in politics, served in the Council for a period of eight years, and was a member of the Maple Leaf Masonic Lodge, Bath. The funeral, which was largely attended, was in charge of that Order. His wife, who, before her marriage, was Miss Annie McIlwaine, of Selby, predeceased him 20 years ago and his only daughter, Mrs. T. D. Creighton, 10 years ago. Mr. Weese was the last surviving member of a family of five. His brother, Sam, met with a tragic death at Collin’s Bay 43 years ago. Stewart, another brother, passed away at his residence near Selby seven years ago. Mrs. George Sexsmith, of Napanee, a sister, passed away two days after her brother Stewart.

Weese, Stephen	STEPHEN WEESE - Stephen Weese died at his residence, 3d Con. Camden, near Strathcona village, Dec 31^st 1907 aged 70 years, 7 months and 12 days. He was a son of Samuel Weese, and Susanna Sweet, U.E.L. people who came to this county from the states. They settled in Richmond, where the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. When a young man, Mr. Weese purchased the farm where he died. About a year after coming to Camden he married Miss Eliza Lockridge, which was 48 years ago. Five children were born to them, three sons and two daughters. The oldest son, Samuel was killed at Collins Bay crossing by the cars about eleven years ago, which was a terrible shock to the family as well as to the whole community. The remaining children are Mrs. Martin of Camden, Mrs. G. S. Sexsmith of Richmond, and Peter, of Bath and Stewart, on the homestead. Mrs. Weese also survives him. For 13 years, Mrs. Weese occupied seats in the township and County Council, where his upright dealing won the respect and confidence of all. About 8 months ago, Mr. Weese found he was afflicted with cancer. Although everything that could be done was done without avail the terrible disease made steady progress until Dec 31^st 1907 when death put a period to his sufferings. He was the friend of all; everyone who went to him for help or advice was never disappointed. We may well say with one of old, “Where shall we find the like again?” He had no fear of death and spoke of “going home.” Rev. C. L. Thompson, his pastor, visited him frequently, at the last administered the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. The funeral took place on Thursday under the auspices of the Masonic Order at Newburgh Methodist Church. The funeral cortage was the largest seen in these parts for years. The remains were deposited in Newburgh vault. Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death There surely is some blessed clime Whence life is not a breath Nor life’s affection transcient fire Whose sparks fly upward to expire.		1907 Newspaper Clipping

Weston, Emma	EMMA WESTON - Wife of Mr. Peter Weston, on the city of London, passed away to the better world on the 3^rd day of August last, in the 59^th year of her age. She was born in Camberwell, London, Eng., but the greater part of her life was spent in Canada. At a very early age she embraced the religion of Jesus Christ as a personal privilege and experience. Concerning her conversion, she never doubted, and her piety was of that decided type that makes itself known in the outward life. She at once became connected with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and was for several years a teacher in the old Adelaide Street school, Toronto. She afterwards, with her husband, became united with the Methodist New Connexion Church. In the course of time her residence was changed to London, and after the union of the two Churches in 1874, she became a member of the Queen’s Avenue Church in that city. Here she resumed her active labors for Christ. She remained a valued and efficient teacher in the Sunday-school until the time of her death. She was also a faithful attendant at class-meeting, and greatly enjoyed the benefits arising from that time-honored means of spiritual communion. But it was in connection with the public charities of the city that her religious life most made itself felt. For many years she was a working member of the Woman’s Christian Association, and as chairwoman of the Public Relief Committee her services were simply invaluable. She was eminently fitted for the position by her keen perception and large experience, and was ever ready to go out in all kinds of weather and traverse all parts of the city to serve the poor and needy. It will not be easy to fill her place. She was ardently attached to Methodism, and for years her house was considered the minister’s home. Her last illness was prolonged and severe. The greater part of the past winter was spent at her brother’s in New York, in the hope of obtaining some relief from the disease that was wasting her strength. After her return to London, however, her health continued to decline, until it became evident to all that her days were numbered. She possessed her soul in patience, and from the first was fully resigned to her heavenly Father’s will. Her faith in Christ continued unshaken. Her hope of the better world was bright and strong. Many expressions came from her lips that were full of comfort to her sorrowing friends. Her family gathered about her, some of them coming from a distance and received her parting words of counsel and affection, and then she quietly awaited the Lord’s summons to come up higher. Of her it may well be said, “She rests from her labors, and her works do follow her.” [signed] D.G.S.		Oct 7 1885 The Christian Guardian

In February last the baby contracted scarlet fever. Anxious for the life of her darling baby boy, she took no thought for herself.

Her whole nervous system broke down and gave way. She made all her plans for her funeral even to the minutest detail, but recovered sufficiently however, to be able to be up again and go out driving, but was taken down again the latter part of June, and sank very fast into a decline, despite all that the best of medical treatment and loving care could do to save her. She was fully resigned to go and left every assurance of a glad and glorious resurrection. After death the remains were taken to her grandmother's home, the late Mrs. Elizabeth A. Diamond, Providence, R.I. where the funeral was held.		1907 From the Hough Scrapbooks.

Wilkison, Wm. H.	DEATH’S HARVEST – WM. H. WILKISON, County Judge, Dies Suddenly in his Bathroom - No greater shock was ever experienced by our citizens as a whole than the announcement made on Wednesday morning that His Honor Judge Wilkison had been found dead while in the act of taking his usual morning plunge in a bath of cold water. Could it be possible that the handsome, genial, whole souled gentleman who was about as usual the day before, in the best of health and spirits, would never again on earth exchange his kindly greetings with our citizens, young and old, rich and poor? The sad fact is alas too true, and it is a fact also that no one will be more missed from our town. There is little to tell as to his death. It was his habit to take a cold bath on rising in the morning, and on Wednesday it was noticed that he remained longer than usual in the bath room, detaining breakfast. Wondering what was the trouble, Mrs. Wilkison sent the man to find out. He knocked at the door and receiving no answer, opened it and to his horror found the Judge dead in the tub. The sudden shock of the cold plunge is supposed to have caused heart failure. The distressing scene is too pathetic to dwell on. In apparently the vigor of matured manhood, with the laurels of a well spent life earned and being enjoyed, he is cut off without a moment’s warning. It will be well for us all however, if when called we can show such a blameless life and are able to appear before our Maker with as unblemished a character as the late Wm. H. Wilkison possessed – all that any man can take with him out of this world. Judge Wilkison was born in the City of Kingston, Nov. 3d 1838, and was the son of the late William Wilkison, of Kingston, and formerly of Belfast, Ireland. He was educated at the old Grammar School in Kingston, through which many illustrious Canadians passed. In 1861, he was called to the bar, and came to Napanee to practice. From September, 1864, till 1869 he held the office of county crown attorney and clerk of the peace for the Counties of Lennox and Addington, and had worked up a large and lucrative law practice. On May 28^th 1869, he received the appointment of Judge for this county, and this position he has honourably and successfully filled ever since. The Judge was married to Isabella Allan, eldest daughter of the late Wm. Allan Geddes, barrister, Kingston, in 1863, who is left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and a model man in every respect. Deceased was a member of the Anglican church, and took a deep interest in the home church as well as in the welfare of the church in general. He was for years a lay delegate to the Synod, and was one of its prominent members. The Judge was deeply interested in works of mercy and was yearly instrumental in gaining a liberal grant from the County council to the Kingston General Hospital, of which he was a governor. Out of respect for deceased the flags are flying at half mast on the Town Hall and court House. The funeral service will be held today at 10:45 o’clock at St. Mary Magdalene’s church and thence by special B. of Q. train detailed through the courtesy of his life long friend, Mr. E. W. Rathbun, to Kingston, where the remains will be placed in the vault at Cataraqui, to be later interred in the family plot there. The pall bearers were the members of the local bar: - D. H. Preston, K. C., H. M. Deroche, K. C., W. S. Herrington, K. C., John English, J. H. Madden, W. G. Wilson, U. M. Wilson, W. H. Perry , G. F. Ruttan and T. B. German. The remains will be taken to the church at 10 o’clock, where the many friends will be given an opportunity of taking a last look at the deceased. The service will be held in the church at 10:45 and the special train will leave the station at 11:15 a.m. Deceased is laid out in his judicial robes. The pall-bearers will also wear their legal gowns. The body will arrive in Kingston at 1:15 and the funeral will take place from the train. It is likely the Kingston Bar Association and the Synod of the Diocese of Ontario will be represented at the funeral.		1903 From the Watson Scrapbooks

Williams, John	Death of John Williams – Leaves a Large Family to Mourn His Loss On Sunday morning, 4^th April, John Williams, a wealthy and very old resident of Bath, passed peacefully away to his rest at the ripe age of eighty-seven years and eight months. He had been ailing for many weeks; his robust constitution resisted the inroads of disease while it could but at last give way under the weight of years. Mr. Williams was born in Adolphustown on the 27^th of August, 1812 and fifty-eight years ago moved to Bath, where he resided up to the day of his death, following the blacksmith’s trade, in which, being skilful and industrious, he was always successful. Of his twelve children six sons and three daughters survive him, five of whom, viz: Knox, Solomon, Samuel, Patience and Samantha were at the funeral. In 1891 his wife, a most exemplary Chrisian woman, was called away, since which event he and his faithful daughter Patience have lived in retirement together. In early life a member of the society of Friends, he subsequently left them and frequented the worship of the Presbyterians, but after the death of his wife he conformed to the church of England, was baptized by the Rev. Mr. Baker, and on Trinity Sunday, 31^st May last, received confirmation at the hands of his grace archbishop Lewis. The funeral, which took place at St. John’s church Tuesday afternoon, 6^th inst., was attended by a large number of the friends of the esteemed family and the remains were laid to rest beside those of his late beloved partner in life in the family plot, where lie also those of two of the three children who preceded him to the grave. The old man’s illness was of such a nature that it was necessary he should be watched and tended night after night and day after day for weeks before the end came and to do this the assistance of the neighbors had to be called in and it was given with such cheerful alacrity and good will that Miss Williams begs the writer to thank all those who so kindly afforded her help in the hour of her need. A similar coincidence in connection with Mr. Williams’ death may be mentioned here before closing. Fifty years ago a daughter died in the same month of the year, April, on the same day of the month, 4^th, the same day of the week, Sunday and the same time in the morning, seven o’clock. Obituary - John Williams - On Sunday morning, 4th April, John Williams, a very old and esteemed resident of Bath, passed peacefully to his rest, having attained the ripe age of 85 years and 8 months. He had been ailing for many weeks, his exceptionally robust constitution resisting the inroads of disease while it could, but at last giving way under the weight of years. Mr. Williams was born in Adolphustown on the 27th August, 1812, and 58 years ago moved to Bath where he resided until the day of his death, following the blacksmith's trade, in which, being an expert workman and most industrious, he was always successful. Of his large and respectable family of children - twelve in all - six sons and three daughters survive him, five of whom, viz., Knox, Solomon, Samuel, Patience and Samantha were present at the funeral. In 1891, his wife, a most exemplary Christian woman, was called away, since which he and his faithful daughter, Patience, have lived together in retirement. In early life, a member of the Society of Friends, he subsequently left them and frequently they worshiped at the Presbyterians, but after the death of his wife he conformed to the English Church, was baptised by the Rev. M. Baker, and on Trinity Sunday, 31st May last received confirmation at the hands of His Grace Archbishop Lewis. The funeral took place at St. John's church on Tuesday afternoon and was attended by a large number of the friends of the esteemed family, and the remains were laid to rest besides those of his late beloved partner in life in the family plot where lie also those of two of the three children who preceded him to the grave. A singular coincidence in connection with his death may be mentioned here. Just 50 years ago, a daughter died in the same month of the year, April, on the same day of the month, 4th, the same day of the week, Sunday, and at the same hour, 7 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Williams' illness was of such a nature that it was necessary he should be watched and tended night and day for weeks without cessation until the end came, and to do this the assistance of the neighbors had to be called in, and this assistance was given with such cheerful alacrity and good will that Miss Williams desires that public expression be given of her thanks in this sketch to the many friends who so kindly came to her aid in the hour of need.

Wilson, Mrs. Charles S.	Funeral of Mrs. C. S. Wilson On Thursday, April 29^th, a simple but impressive service was held in the Methodist church here, a number of friends having gathered to show respect and affection for the late Mrs. Charles S. Wilson, who for many years was a resident of the town. Rev. Dr. Alfred Brown conducted the service, offering prayer after the singing of “Abide With Me: by the congregation, and reading the twenty-third Psalm and selections from John XIV. The ladies quartet then rendered “Nearer My God To Thee”, and Rev. Dr. S. J. Shorey gave a brief but effective address wherein he emphasized nature’s answer to the question, “If a man die, shall he live again?” An illustration used was that of the migratory bird which winging its far flight from the only land it has known, finds a home awaiting it. Surely God who provides satisfaction for the bird in its quest, will not deny man the fulfillment of his desire, hope and trust. That the conditions of the future life are not more fully revealed to us, the speaker affirmed was owing to our present undeveloped state which made it impossible for us to receive a more perfect revelation. Dr. Shorey spoke feelingly of the affectionate esteem in which he with many others hold the memory of Mrs. Wilson and referred to the spirit of hospitality which pervaded her home. “Safe in the arms of Jesus” was sung at the close of the sermon. Among near relatives present were Mrs. Wilson’s daughter Mrs. Louella Standish of Toronto and nephews, Mr. Fred Wilson of Belleville and Mr. H. W. Bedell, Picton, Mrs. Stephen Noxon of Ingersoll and daughter Miss Marion, who, intending to be present had come as far as Toronto, were prevented from continuing the journey by Mrs. Noxon’s illness. Another daughter, Mrs. May C. Eaton resides in France. The Y’s in whose work Mrs. Wilson has always taken a peculiar interest were in attendance, being seated near the flower laden casket. Pallbearers were Messrs. Fred Wilson, Charles Wilson, H. C. McMullen, H. B. Bristol, C. B. Allison and Jas. H. Porte. Interment took place in the family plot at Glenwood.		From the Watson Scrapbooks
Wilson, Clara M.	OBITUARY – We regret to chronicle the death of Miss Clara M. Wilson, eldest daughter of Jas. C. Wilson, Esq., of Glenora. It is well known to most people of this community that during the past winter Miss Wilson was afflicted with an attack of small pox in its most malignant form. By the aid of very skilful medical treatment and most careful nursing she was enabled to recover partially, but with a constitution thoroughly impaired by the virulence and prolonged nature of the disease. A brief visit to Montreal in consultation of medical advice gave little hopes of her ultimate recovery, and she retired to Toronto, to the residence of her uncle, Dr. Meachain, for change of air and treatment. Here she gradually weakened and on Saturday, the 15^th inst., her spirit passed peacefully away. Her remains were brought to Picton, on Monday last, and interred in Glenwood cemetery in the presence of a large number of sympathizing friends. Miss Wilson was educated at Hamilton Ladies’ College, of which institution she was one of the most gifted and brilliant alumni. In addition to the general subjects of a liberal education she gave special attention to the fine Arts and many specimens from her brush and pencil remain to show how exquisite was the taste and how deft the touch with which her colors were made to glow into life and beauty on the canvas. It was not, however, in the domain of the polite accomplishments alone, that Miss Wilson exercised her wealth of talent and her leisure hours. She was an unobtrusive but very effectual worker in the Christian Church, and the sphere of useful --- varied duties she managed to bring about her, and in which she took such keen delight will now be left to the hands of others. Her life was one of much promise, full of sweetness and light and calm faith, and her death one of the glories of the cross. She seemed to realize that life is real, life is earnest, and though cut down in its very morning she had done much to widen her experience and lift her to a higher plane of enjoyment. We are sure that her parents and relatives have the sincere condolence of the public in their bereavement.		From the Watson Scrapbooks
Wilson, David (Rev.)	The Methodist church has lost one of its oldest and well known ministers in the death of the Rev. David Wilson, which took place at his residence, North Fredericksburgh, on Tuesday morning last. Though in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and the fifty-fifth of his Christian ministry, he retained to the last his vigor, mental and physical, to a wonderful degree. Up to the day of his death his mind and memory remained clear and undimmed, and his physical strength was remarkable for one of his years. Until three or four weeks ago he continued active, and his genial face and cordial greeting were familiar on our streets, as at almost any time for the past half century. His strength began then to give way, but it was only for a couple of weeks he was confined to his room. Even then his mind continued clear and his voice strong as before sickness. He suffered little pain. It might be said of him as of the aged Charles Wesley, simply that "the weary wheels of life stood still." The Rev. David Wilson has been so well know in all these counties for the past two generations that we need say little of him. Our gray-headed readers remember first hearing him preach when they were young boys and some remark that seldom has a year occurred since when they have not heard him. He was a man of clear mind, extensive reading, of strong and decided views of his own on nearly every question, religious and political, but withal so genial and kindly that his friends could be counted by thousands, including all sects and parties. Five years ago THE BEAVER wrote of him as follows: 'The Rev. David Wilson is now the oldest and best known Methodist minister in the counties. He is now in his jubilee year as a Methodist minister, and it is somewhat singular that his first sermon from a text was preached from the same pulpit in the early winter of 1845 (the Old Park's church, on Hay Bay, now torn down). Two or three times he was its regular 'pulpit supply', the 'circuit preacher', twice as 'Presiding Elder of the district', in the old days of Episcopal Methodist regime, and now for years past as 'Father Wilson' an old and much respected 'superannuate', always available and ready, always practical and efficient. We believe that no other minister of any other church whatever in the county has so long stood before the people, has preached so many sermons in so many places, throughout the boundaries, and whose face has become so familiar to three generations, and who has commanded and retained the confidence and respect of all, as our venerable friend.' Ever since that and right up to the days of his last illness he has continued to preach and work in behalf of his Master's cause. HIS OWN RECORD There lies before us a letter prepared by Mr. Wilson himself, written for an old friend, nearly two years ago, which gives in his own words, a brief record of his ministerial work. 'Dear Mr. Casey: I send you the following, as you requested, concerning myself and work in the church. Born in the year 1816 in Scotland, and educated there. Left Scotland for America June, 1840; arrived in Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence county, New York, after being on the voyage for about seven weeks. There were no steamers running at that time. Came to Canada in 1842. Entered the Methodist Episcopal church at the Annual Conference held at Northport, Sept. 10^th 1845, on probation for the ministry. Sent to labor with Rev. George D. Greenleaf, as junior preacher on the Bay of Quinte Circuit, which then took in the following townships, viz, North and South Fredericksburgh, Bath and Ernesttown. 'Served in the active work for thirty-seven years; health beginning to fail, I asked a superannuated relation and still continue in that relation, assisting the ministers in the active work as health will permit. 'We had on the Bay Circuit at that time George Sills and Daniel Unger, ordained Local Elders. Among the trusted laymen were the Forshees, Parkses, Bogarts, Coles, Clarks, Andersons, Dollars, Detlors, Frasers, Smiths, Gibbards and many others that I might name, most of whom have left this for the better world above. They were grand men. 'While Presiding Elder on the Napanee district I travelled over the following counties: Prince Edward, Lennox and Addington, and a part of Hastings. You will see I have had a pretty active life and I have been wonderfully preserved, with fairly good health. I may say that when I came on the Bay Circuit we had only one church, on the work; built chiefly by the brothers Parks, assisted by others. Make of his what you think best. If it will assist you in your work I will be glad. Your sincere friend and well wisher, DAVID WILSON The venerable Rev. James Gardner, D. D., of Belleville, also well know in these counties, writes us a very interesting letter in regard to Mr. Wilson's work and their associations. We much regret there is not now space at our disposal to use it. Dr. Gardner was Mr. Wilson's senior in the ministry by a year or two, and so is the Rev. Thomas Wester, D. D., of Newbury, Ont. These are the only two left of all his early associates in the church. Mr. Wilson married Miss Jane Forshee, a daughter of Jas. Forshee, one of the early pioneers of Fredericksburgh. She predeceased him over twenty years. Their surviving children are all well know and influential men, the Rev. James Wilson, M. A., now of Oshawa, and formerly pastor of the Western church here; Rev. W. D. P. Wilson, of Stirling, and our well known neighbor, Frank Wilson Esq., who resides on the old homestead in North Fredericksburgh. The venerable Rev. Dr. James Gardner writes: 'Rev. David Wilson was highly esteemed by all his brethren, in all the relations of the church work. His name and influence are cherished; he was eminently fruitful in his ministry. He was my trusted, true and faithful brother in the gospel. You may speak freely and strongly about our mutual friend, David Wilson. We may as well here give the ministerial record of the oldest and most venerable of the Methodist ministers now living: Rev. Thomas Webster, D. D. Newbury, entered the work in 1833. Rev. George Abbs, Grimsby, 1840. Rev. James Gardner, D. D., Belleville, 1841. Rev. Ephraim B. Harper, D. D., Barrie, 1841. Rev. George Young, D. D., Toronto, 1841. Rev. Francis Coleman, Hamilton, as early as 1840. These are all Superannuated old men now. They all well served their day and generation.		Sept 22 1899 From the Hough Scrapbooks - Napanee Beaver

While a resident here he was an active member of Grace Church being a member of the official board and also of the pulpit supply committee. He took a great interest in the work of the church and was greatly missed from the official board on his removal to Belleville. The deceased was the son of the late Rev. David and Mrs. Wilson, the former being a pioneer minister of the Methodist Church. Surviving are his daughter, who resides in the West, but who came East on learning of the critical condition of her father, and two brothers, Rev. J.P. Wilson, D.D. and Rev. W.D.

Wilson, L. Ethelbert	OBITUARY - Mr. L. E. Wilson That death is no respector of age is plainly seen in the way it entered the home of L. E. Wilson, on Monday, June 19^th, 1922, and claimed for its victim dearly loved Ethelbert, the sunshine of that home. By the death of Mr. Wilson, not only his wife is greatly bereaved, but also his relatives and innumerable friends,. He was not only a loving and devoted husband, but a Christian abounding in good works and a model of what a husband should be. Although for several years he had been in failing health, the last nine months being very trying, despite all that loving hands and medical skill could do to prolong his earthly flight he passed peacefully into the arms of his loving Saviour with a perfect resignation to God’s will. His sufferings were very intense, yet never a murmur, but always a smile and cheery word for all. Truly it can be said, “Patient through suffering:. It seems so hard to see a sweet young life like Ethelbert’s cut off in the prime, but let us say in our deep sorrow, “Thy will be done.” He has been called to a higher service, called to be forever with the Lord whom he loved and delighted to serve. We sorrow not for him, but for those who have been left behind - for his broken-hearted wife and sister, Mrs. W. A. Ramsay. His funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Wednesday, June 21^st, at Camden V. Presbyterian Church, it being under the Masonic Order. His Pastor, Rev. E. B. Cooke, assisted by a former Pastor, Rev. J. A. McLean, spoke very brief and suitable words of comfort; a solo which was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Cooke, “Sometime We’ll Understand”, being very appropriate, as the deceased was often heard to express those words. The numerous floral tributes betokened the sympathy of his many friends.		1922 Scrapbook Clipping

Wilson, Nathaniel	A sad event occurred when Nathaniel Wilson passed out from our midst on Thursday, Dec. 15^th, after an illness lasting only eight days. Mr. Wilson was born in the township of Sheffield in 1846. About six years ago he came to Ernestown, purchasing a farm, and by the persistent indefatigable industry which characterized the man, brought it to its present high state of cultivation. Possessing great vitality and an iron constitution, Mr. Wilson has scarcely a day’s illness in his life until he was attacked by pneumonia on Wednesday, Dec 7^th. In spite of the best medical skill and careful nursing he sank rapidly and expired on the evening of the 15^th, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. Mr. Wilson belonged to that sturdy yeomanry class who have so materially helped to build up our country and his death will be a distinct loss. By his neighbourly qualities he gained the good will and respect of those about him. On Sunday morning, Dec. 18^th, a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends assembled for the memorial service in the Switzerville church after which the corpse was conveyed to the Napanee vault. A widow and three children are left behind, who in their great loss will have the sincere and general sympathy of the neighborhood.		1904 Newspaper Clipping

Wilson, Mrs. Thomas (nee Casey)	Yesterday the silent messenger visited two homes in Kingston and carried off venerable ladies enjoying the affection of their families and the esteem of a wide circle of friends. Mrs. Deacon and Mrs. Wilson had lived in Kingston for over half a century, had worshiped throughout in the same church, and each died in the homes of the children and grandchildren, having survived their husbands. They were motherly women, in the true sense devoted to their families, kindly and sympathetic towards friends, and a strength and example in the circles in which they moved: Mrs. Wilson was born in Adolphustown in 1810, being a daughter of Samuel and Cynthia Casey; moved to Kingston in 1832 when married to Thomas Wilson, who became an active and prominent citizen and held a high place for over forty years. She was granddaughter of Willet Casey, a leading United Empire Loyalist. Mrs. Wilson had great activity and her life was of uncommon usefulness. She was ever zealous and sacrificing for those about her, and grateful tears will be shed over her removal. She was indeed a good wife and mother. In her last illness, which was painful and lingering, remarkable spirit and vitality were shown, but her end was resigned and peaceful. Dr. Wilson, of Montreal, Mrs. Malloch and Mrs. Wilson of Kingston are surviving members of her family.		Sept 7 1892 Daily British Whig
Wilson, Uriah	Uriah Wilson, ex-M.P. who died at Napanee, February 2^nd last, was born March 17^th, 1841 in the Township of North Fredericksburgh. His father, James Wilson, came from Yorkshire, England and his mother, Harriet Worthington, was a native of the County of Tyrone, Ireland. In 1849, the family moved to Napanee where James Wilson, the father, a stone mason, died in 1853, survived by his widow and a family of small children. Uriah Wilson at this time had received all his school training; the necessities of the family required him to help his father at his trade and after the father’s death he found employment upon the docks at Napanee, which was then a busy and important lumber centre. Afterwards he was employed as an errand boy to fetch and carry the small things so necessary in the construction of the great enterprise then building, the G.T.R. In this early employment he developed those traits of thrift, honesty, diligence, application, observation and sturdy independence which characterized his whole life. His earnings were faithfully carried home each week to his mother. Later he became apprentice to the late Benoni Briggs and after the usual four years apprenticeship, became a journeyman shoemaker. Those were the days when boots were custom made, men worked on the bench, pounded sole leather on the lap iron, made their own wax and pegs and worked by the light of home-made tallow candles. He obtained employment in Port Hope, but after a few months there, returned to Napanee and entered into partnership with his brothers, Samuel and John in 1863, from which Samuel shortly retired. The partnership subsisting between Uriah Wilson and his brother, John, continued from them till the latter’s death in 1917, constituting a business record of over half a century in partnership. The early days of the partners were busy ones, work starting before 7 a.m. and continuing for the most part to nearly midnight, getting out work for the workmen employed in their growing business. The success which attended the mercantile life of the firm drew the attention of their fellow citizens, and Uriah Wilson entered the Napanee Town Council in 1879, became Deputy-Reeve in 1881, was re-elected to that office in 1882, when he became Warden of the County. He was elected Reeve in 1884 and 1885, and become Mayor in 1886 by acclamation. He was nominated by the Liberal Conservative Association of Lennox to be their standard bearer at the general election for the House of Commons, held February 22^nd, 1887, when he was elected by a small majority, defeating the late D.W. Allison, ex-M.P. At this time the party in Lennox had become torn by internal dissentions although party feeling had been running strongly as shown by the numerous contests in the court and at the polls during the previous decade in Lennox. The national policy issue was before the people, the whole country was aroused and both parties bent all their energies to win, with the result mentioned. The new member set himself to the task of mastering the routine of Parliament and the work of the Government Departments to learn how best to serve the people. He felt the responsibility of his new position and started on a course which he conceived to be the proper one in responsible Government; of the people, but the people and for the people and this continued to be his policy through his long career. He also began to increase his store of knowledge and paid particular attention to the facts of history in the making, so that in after years his mind became a treasury of historical facts which made him a most delightful companion especially when he became reminiscent. During his first term, he was brought seriously into conflict with the patronage system in a short time. A meritorious appointment contrary to the local party recommendations, a conscientious vote on the Jesuit estates bill supporting the government which refused disallowance and the growing criticism of a party already in power for thirteen years, caused his defeat as the government candidate for Lennox in 1891 by his erstwhile opponent, Mr. D.W. Allison. It is noteworthy here that in the only two contests for public honors in which he suffered defeat, namely his first contest for the wardenship and the general election of 1891 for the Commons, his opponent was Mr. D.W. Allison. Mr. Allison’s election was protested and in 1892, Mr. Wilson, after the seat had been declared vacant, was again elected by a small majority. In the meantime, Sir John A. Macdonald had died, June 6^th, 1891 to be succeeded by Sir J.J.C. Abbott, Sir John Thompson, Sir Mackenzie Bowell and in 1896 by Sir Charles Tupper, Premiers who have all since passed away. In 1896, the Remedial Bill giving the minority in Manitoba relief from the judgment of the Privy Council on the vexed school question, had become the leading issue and a new organization, the P.P.A.’s entered the political field. The cry that the Government had been in power too long added to the difficulties of the Government candidate. The farmers became restless and many were induced to join a Farmers’ organization and as a result of the new organization, Mr. Wilson, who had again been nominated as the Conservative Standard Bearer in the general elections in 1896, found himself opposed by Charles Stevens, the P.P.A. candidate and E.B. Switzer, the farmers’ candidate. Mr. Wilson was elected by a good plurality after a contest which had many thrills, in which the principal actors outside of the candidates were Mr. Alex Kerr, Editor of Mr. Stevens’ paper, The Star, and Rev. Madill, who was assisting Mr. Wilson in the campaign. Many of the older electors will probably remember the meeting in Napanee the night preceding the election, at which Mr. J.W. Edward, M.P. for Frontenac, held the audience from 8 to 11 p.m. and afterwards, waiting for the arrival of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Stevens, and Mrs. Madill from Roblin, where the meeting was continued till the early hours of the morning. The Government was defeated and during the remainder of his Parliamentary career, Mr. Wilson was elected as the Opposition candidate by increasing majorities in 1900, 1904 and 1908., his opponents being respectively Dr. R.A. Leonard, in the last contest for Lennox and F.S. Wartman and Hiram Keech, after the Redistribution Bill when the constituencies of Lennox and Addington were united to follow the county boundaries. Mr. Wilson’s last majority in 1908 being 489. In his campaigns, Mr. Wilson endeavored to put the issues between the parties fairly and squarely before the people and before he had ended his first parliamentary term, he conceived the idea of giving an account of his stewardship and addressed meetings throughout his constituency to inform the people on the work of the parliamentary term. As years advanced he became a fluent and pleasant speaker and it was a matter of remark that his addresses were practically free from those errors which are all too common in men who have received a higher education. Though he seldom addressed the House, he always gained an attentive hearing as he confined his remarks to matters of which he had knowledge and subjects which he had studied thoroughly. There was plenty of committee work to do and he was most assiduous in discharging his duties there. His study of the Immigration question was most searching and the Government’s administration of that Department was thoroughly searched and criticized during Mr. Wilson’s term on the Opposition side. His research and investigation and criticism caused a revision of the Immigration laws of Canada and a more rigid supervision of the class of immigrant admitted and a more thorough control over the officials throughout the country in dealing with the newly arrived immigrants. While attending the Sessions of Parliament, Mr. Wilson was careful to see that nay visitors to the Capital from this constituency received proper attention and he was always most solicitous to facilitate their business with the Government Departments at the Capital and that their stay in the city would be made pleasant for them. After his last election in 1908, Mr. Wilson announced his intention of retiring from politics at the end of his term and when the House of Commons was dissolved in 1911, he retired. The deceased was a life long Methodist, a member of Trinity Church, of which he was one of the stewards and trustees at the time of his death. On October 16^th, 1867 he married Mary Moyle and they celebrated their golden wedding October 16^th last by a family reunion. She died December 29^th last. In his home life his affections were deep seated and found expression in many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness which leave a precious and treasured memory. He is survived by four sons, Messrs. James A. Wilson, merchant; U.M. Wilson, Crown Attorney, of Napanee; and John T. Wilson, railway mail service and Dr. C.E. Wilson, of Toronto and by several nieces and grandnephews and nieces. The funeral was held at Trinity Church, February 5^th, at which there was a large gathering of the citizens and the services were conducted by Rev. C.W. DeMille, assisted by Rev. W.P. Rogers, Rev. W.S.P. Boyce and Rev. A.J. Wilson.		Feb 15 1918 Napanee Beaver

Wilson, William A.	WILLIAM A. WILSON - Was born in Guysborough, Nova Scotia, October 1^st, 1822. He was converted to God when quite young, and at once became active in the cause of Christ. In company with other young men, one of whom was the Rev. Joseph Scott, of the New England Conference, he went out soon after his conversion and held cottage prayer-meetings. About forty-five years ago he went to reside in the United States, where he lived until he removed to Ontario four years ago. Brother Wilson was always an active Christian. He often visited his friends and neighbors, inquiring of them how their souls prospered. He accompanied the writer on several occasions in making pastoral calls, and manifested a deep interest in the spiritual welfare of the people. In the prayer-meeting his advice was always sound, and his testimony was always clear. While he loved all God’s people he felt a special attachment for the Methodist Church, of which he remained a consistent member until his death. He died at his home in Greenway, Ont., June 10, 1886, aged sixty-three years. His end was peace. [signed] Joseph Deacon		July 28 1886 Christian Guardian

Wood was walking in front of Hayes when a bird suddenly flew up behind them. Both turned quickly and in a manner which Mr. Hayes could not explain the gun was discharged. The shot struck Wood in the hip, travelling upward through his body. Mr. Wood was rushed to the Kingston hospital, but died Sunday morning. The funeral will be held on Tuesday. A most unfortunate accident occurred on Saturday afternoon resulting in the death of Mr. William Wood of the Township of South Fredericksburgh. Mr. Wood, while hunting pheasants on his farm with jack Hayes and Kenneth Murphy of Napanee, was accidentally shot in the hip when Hayes’ gun unexpectedly discharged. The injured man was able to walk to his home, a distance of 100 yards from the place where he was hurt. Dr. D.R. Hall was called and after giving him first aid treatment, rushed him to Kingston General Hospital, where he was attended by Drs. Bogart and Boucher. His condition was considered satisfactory until about midnight Saturday, when he was suddenly taken worse and died at about 3:00 a.m. The cause of death was attributed to internal hemorrhage. Complete investigation was made by Provincial Constable Barrett and Coroner Dr. D.R. Hall and an inquest was deemed unnecessary. Jack Hayes and his nephew Kenneth Murphy, friends of long standing of the late Mr. Wood, were invited by Wood to come o his farm on Saturday afternoon for a pheasant shoot. They arrived at the farm, situated in the Third Concession of South Fredericksburgh at about 1:30 p.m. On the farm there is an extensive marsh jutting out into the east side of Hay Bay, in which there was said to be a large number of pheasants. Hayes and Murphy, after a two-hour tramp alone through the rushes and tall grass of the swamp, had not bagged a bird. They were about to give up the hunt when Wood, who was working in a nearby field, offered to show them where they might find some birds. The three men started across the marsh, walking with difficulty over the uneven ground, through the tall rushes and swamp grass. Wood was in the centre with Murphy on his left and Hayes on his right, with about forty feet between them. Hayes, who was carrying a pump-hammer gun, noticed a pheasant rising behind him and turned quickly. He turned to his left, with his gun held hip high. As he was in about a direct line with Wood, Hayes’ gun went off without any apparent reason. Mr. Hayes’ only explanation was that the hammer of the gun must have caught in his coat as he turned, as he had no recollection of pulling the trigger. He had been hunting for about thirty years and was used to handling guns. Wood, who had partially turned, received most of the contents of the shell in his left hip. Murphy also had heard the pheasant rise and at the same time turned and fired his gun, missing the bird. He was not aware that Hayes’ gun had gone off or that Wood had been hurt until he saw him fall to the ground, on account of the noise of the discharge of his own gun. The late Mr. Wood came to Canada with his family from England about twenty years ago. He purchased the farm formerly owned by the late Samuel Asselstine. He and his family have been well known and highly regarded during their residence in the district. He was a member of Union Lodge A.F. & A.M. No. 9 Napanee. He is survived by his wife and two sons, John and Ernest. Another son was killed a few years ago in an accident on the farm and another son, Ernest, lost an eye a short time ago, when struck with a splinter of steel. Mr. Woods’ funeral was held from his late residence on Tuesday and interment followed at Riverview Cemetery, Napanee.		Nov 4 1935 Toronto Star Nov 1935 Napanee Beaver

Woodcock, Mrs. Peter	DESECRATING THE GRAVE THE BODY OF AN OLD LADY STOLEN FROM THE CEMETERY TORONTO, Ontario, Feb. 14. - On Saturday last, Mrs. Peter Woodcock, of North Fredericksburgh, mother of the Rev. Eli Gilbert and Nelson Woodcock, died at the advanced age of 94 years and 11 months. Her remains were buried on Sunday last in the cemetery adjoining Bethany Church, and on Monday night the body was stolen. Immediately upon the desecration being discovered every endeavor was put forth by the family to discover the thieves but as yet no trace of the remains has been obtained. Monday evening a gentleman saw two men in the vicinity of the burying ground, their horse being tied to the fence. it is supposed these parties committed the deed. One of the sons of the deceased lady went to Kingston on Wednesday to search the medical college, but without success. The family feel very badly over the matter. It is stated that the body of Alexander Babcock, a pauper who died recently in jail, has been stolen from the Napanee Cemetery, and rumors are afloat regarding similar depredations at other burial grounds in the neighborhood. The general belief is that the desecration is the work of American students, whose operations are facilitated by the ease with which they can cross the river in the Winter.

Woods, Marjorie C. (nee Meyers)	OBITUARY - Mrs. Volney Woods One of the saddest deaths recorded her in some time, occurred at three o’clock Friday morning, Jan. 11^th, 1929, when Marjorie C. Meyers, beloved wife of Mr. Volney Woods, of Roblin, passed away to the Great Beyond. The deceased, who was 28 years of age, contracted a severe cold a few weeks ago, which later developed into pneumonia.

Since her marriage, she, with her husband, resided in Roblin. Her death has cast a gloom over the whole community, she being full of life and beloved by a wide circle of friends. She was a member of Napanee Chapter, No. 151, Order of the Eastern Star and was always ready to assist in every way the social activities of the Order. Besides her bereaved husband and parents, she leaves to mourn her loss an only sister, Agnes, to whom the sympathy of the entire community is extended. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon, at the home of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Meyers, Bridge street. Although the funeral was of a private nature the home was filled with relatives and friends from Napanee, Hawley, and Roblin.

Throughout his long life, Mr. Wright had been one of the most outstanding residents of the community. He came from fine English stock, pioneers in the county and had worthily carried on the tradition of his race. In his latter days he had enjoyed excellent health as in his youth. He maintained a keen interest in public affairs and derived a great deal of pleasure from life. Mr. Wright was the eldest of five sons of the late Solomon Wright, a retired English officer, who first settled in Prince Edward County and later came to Lennox County and settled with four miles of the place where Mr. Wright later made his home. For over sixty years Mr. Wright lived on the farm where he died. During his long life he saw many changes, but had kept well abreast of the times.

Wright Passes Away After a Brief Illness On Sunday, death claimed one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of the Sandhurst district when George A. Wright passed away after a very brief illness at the advanced age of 91 years. Had Mr. Wright lived until March he would have been 92 years of age. The deceased was a member of a family in which longevity prevailed, four of his brothers who survive having passed the three and four score mark. On December 30^th, his brother, Charles Wright and Mrs. Wright of Napanee observed their golden wedding anniversary. The deceased was one of a family of eight, a son of Mr. Solomon Wright and Azubah Ham. His birthplace was in the Hawley settlement but his home had been in the Sandhurst district for nearly 70 years.

He always enjoyed the best of health and since a young man was never confined to his bed through illness. A week preceding his death he caught a cold and was forced to take to his bed. His death removes one of the old landmarks of Sandhurst. He leaves to mourn his loss, a son, Robert Wright of Conway and two daughters, Mrs. George Roddick of Sandhurst and Mrs. Ralph Sills, also of Sandhurst.

Wright, Helen Kathleen	WRIGHT - At South Fredericksburgh on Tuesday, December 2nd, 1919, Helen Kathleen A. Wright, daughter of E.H. and the late Mrs. Wright, aged 20 years and 8 months. OBITUARY - On Tuesday, December 2^nd, 1919, there passed away at Conway, Helen Kathleen Wright, daughter of the late Mrs. Wright and Mr. Ed. Wright, in her 20^th year. For some time past her health had not been of the best, but her natural cheerfulness and buoyant disposition forbade the thought of so early a termination of so youthful a career. As playmate and companion she was full of the joy and vivacity of youth. As a student her life was promising indeed, having obtained Matriculation and Teacher's certificate during the three years spent in Napanee High School. Upon her graduating from High School, through the sudden death of her mother, she immediately assumed the duties and responsibilities of home life, comforting and consoling a bereaved father and loved ones. Her death now comes as an additional grief and loss, the harder to sustain because of the larger place she filled in the life of the home.

Wright, Solomon Photo	Died - Wright - At North (sic) Fredericksburgh, on April 9th, Solomon Wright, aged 82 years. Solomon Wright, Fredericksburgh, father of John A. Wright, barrister, Picton, died on Wednesday last, aged 82 years. Solomon Wright - Was born in North Marysburgh, April 6th 1808 and departed this life April 9^th 1890 in South Fredericksburgh. When he was twelve years of age he removed to the latter place, where he resided the remainder of his life. He was married in September 1837 to Miss Azubah Ham, who still survives him. Together, they trod life's pathway, and were mutually helpful. Both were industrious and economical, and God blessed them with a large measure of prosperity. Brother Wright pursued the vocation of a farmer, and was successful beyond many. Everything he undertook seemed to prosper and the result was acknowledged as the gift of God. The turning point in his life's history occurred in 1845, in a revival service held in Adolphustown, conducted by the late Rev. Cyrus R. Allison. His conversion was a sound one, reaching both head and heart. He connected himself with the then Wesleyan Methodist Church, and continued in union with the Methodist body until his translation to the Church triumphant. The Church had place, office and work for a man of Solomon Wright's type, and sterling worth, and during his forty-five years connection with Methodism, he filled almost every official position his brethren could honor him with. His was not an emotional nature, but he was a man of unswerving and untiring devotion to duty. Anything he undertook for the Church, as for himself, he did punctually and thoroughly. The church where he worshipped at Conway, on the Adolphustown Circuit was largely brought to completion through his labors and contributions. He and his sons contributing in the neighborhood of $1000 towards its erection. He had six sons, who grew up to man's estate. One, Simon, a few years ago was called to be with God, leaving behind a sorrowing and devoted wife and a little family. Three are well-to-do farmers, son John, graduated in arts at Victoria College, and for a number of years has been engaged in the profession of law in the town of Picton. His two daughters are married. All gathered around their father's bedside in the closing days and hours of his earthly pilgrimage, save one, Mrs. Nelson, who was sojourning in Denver, Colorado, for her health. During the winter, Bro. Wright was seized with the prevailing disease, la grippe, and never rallied from its effects. He gradually weakened and wasted until the morning mentioned above, and God said, "It is enough. Come up higher", and "he was not, for God took him." By request, the writer, having known him for nearly twenty-three years, was called upon to preach his funeral sermon. The text was selected was from Philippians i.21. All felt that these words were his dying experience, and that dying was gain to Father Wright. Revs. J.C. Ash and H. I. Allen assisted in the service, and Bor. Ash bore testimony, at the close of the sermon, as to the worth and excellency of the deceased as a man and Christian. The large and representative gathering at his funeral testified as to the esteem in which he was held. His family mourn, but not without hope. We all miss him, but we shall meet again, and in the meantime calmly say, "Father, thy will be done." (submitted by) JOSEPH YOUNG.		Apr 11 1890 British Whig 1890 Stray Newspaper Clipping
