Babcock, Alexander	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.	Feb 15 1885 New York Times

Baird, Mrs. Wm. M.	Obituary - Mrs. Wm. M. Baird It is but seldom that the quiet community of Anderson is stirred by anything out of the usual, but on Monday, the 23rd March, 1925, Mrs. W.M. Baird, who for upwards of 50 years had been an honoured and beloved resident in the locality, passed away. She lived to the ripe old age of nearly 88 years. This in a measure is not to be wondered at, for while trouble is more or less the common lot of all people, Mrs. Baird, for more than half a century had been visited time and again with many serious afflictions, sufficient to break up many a more robust one. Mrs. Baird, whose first husband died in Glasgow, Scotland, was left with three small children all alone in that far off land. Her parents were in Canada and naturally her thoughts turned this way, and being a woman of outstanding courage, she gathered her wee bairns around her and started for this land. Arriving here she settled down within two miles of the spot where she died. In the course of time she married Mr. W. M. Baird, of Anderson, a union which proved in every way a blessing to themselves and it overflowed to enrich the whole countryside. The dark cloud again settled down on this brave little woman, when again she was widowed for the second time, for after a lingering illness, Mr. Baird passed away. As is often said, "Every rose had its thorn", so every night has its day, and while our heroine was so sorely bereft, she was now surrounded by her children, all of whom could and did comfort their sorrowing mother. The children are Mrs. John Joyce, of Napanee; Mr. James Cuthill and Mr. W.W. Baird, and Mr. Sam Baird (stepson) of Napanee. The recent years of her life has been shadowed by much serious affliction. Many times of late her life has been despaired of, but her time had not yet come, and in a slight way she revived. The grim monster, however, was not to be defeated, for he had laid his hungry hands upon her and seven months ago she was again laid low. Speculation did not believe that there could be sufficient vim and will to over-ride this storm, for when one would look at such a frail bark, truly there did not appear to be anything to build upon, but there was a stubborn physical resistance hidden away in that beautiful and delicate form that no eye could see. It was however now apparent to all that a great challenge was made to kindness, tenderness and medical watchfulness, and none of these things were lacking. Mr. and Mrs. W. Baird secured the services of Nurse Menor, who for seven long weary months, day and night, watched with loving and tender vigil, responding to every call, with all the thought and patience of which human nature is capable. Her bedside was constantly brightened by the presence of her children and grandchildren, all of whom she dearly loved. A wide range of neighbours and friends were ever calling and enquiring as to her welfare. The last few hours, however, threatened to be unusually painful both to patient and children, when the family physician, Dr. Stratton, was summoned, and for hours he sat by the bedside, watching and treating his patient, with the result that Mrs. Baird passed away like a child falling to sleep, to the express comfort of all. On Wednesday the funeral took place in Anderson Church. The crowd was immense, the feeling of respect for the deceased was intense, the sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved was sincere and cordial. The Anderson Choir sang very sweetly the selection, "Does Jesus Care". The Pastor, Rev. W. H. Truscott, conducted the service. Had it not been for sickness, the Rev. A. J. Wilson would have assisted, but he was called away. The remains were taken to Morven and were borne to the grave by Messrs. Parks, Baldwin, Sills, Card, Nugent and Moore.	Apr 3 1925 Napanee Beaver

Some fifteen years ago he went into partnership with Mr. George Sexsmith in the grain brokerage business. The firm was engaged extensively in buying for Richardsons of Kingston. Besides the grain business, Mr. Baker was extensively interested during this time in many private enterprises of a more or less speculative nature. He was also agent for the Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte Navigation Co. in Picton for many years.

Always it was a pleasure to visit this charming lady and the place now left vacant by her death will be felt, not only by her immediate family, who have the sympathy of the community at this time, but by all who were privileged to know her.

Bartlet, Nancy	DIED - In this town on the 11^th instant, MRS NANCY BARTLET, consort of SMITH BARTLET Esq. in the 36^th year of her age. A gradual decline, of nearly two years, terminated her active and useful life. On the 14^th her remains were attended to the place of interment, by the inhabitants of the town generally, with every mark of sympathy and respect. Mrs. Bartlet possessed a sensible and discriminating mind engaging manners and ready vivacity. With versatile powers and inflexible perseverance, she accomplished more in half the allotted term of life, than the less ardent and energetic, in the full period of three score years and ten. An exemplary wife and a devoted mother in the domestic circle she shone pre-eminently. There her affections and her virtues centered. There “her duties walked their daily round.” For her family, her exertions were unwearied. To them her thoughts and her attentions were dedicated, and even the alternate prevalence of hope and fear, arising from the variable nature of her disease, could scarcely abate her solicituded for those who were most dear. For them she had lived; and in the affection of her husband and the fair promise of her children, her heart was reaping its reward. Thus blest and blessing, she was summoned to resign this life and all its endearments and most flattering prospects. A humble trust in a reconciled God enabled her to receive the summons with submission, and to meet the king of terrors without dismay.	Kingston Chronicle Feb 19 1819

He lived a life in Christ so true and pure, that one might follow him through this life as he followed his Master, not simply in form, but with strong faith in Christ; having believed for many years that true happiness is found only in Christ, he had great peace and was not disappointed when death came. He successfully held the office of steward in the church for several years, until his son, J. W. Bass, entered into his labors.

He retired to rest on Saturday evening, January 22^nd, as well as usual; on the following Monday morning he was numbered with the dead.

Reggie enlisted for overseas service in the early stages of the war, with the local corps, and his faithfulness and bravery were recognized by his winning the D. C. M. The funeral took place from S.

He could not swim very well and got beyond his depth and went down. The accident occurred about 11 o’clock and the body was recovered three hours later by Wilkey Markle. Three younger boys were in bathing with Beasley at the time of the accident. They noticed that he went down and never came up and they rushed for help, but when aid did arrive, it was too late. Chief of Police Barrett was notified of the unfortunate affair and with several others, commenced a search for the body of the young man and as already stated, Wilkey Markle found the body. Deceased served overseas and for some time since returning home had been engaged in drawing milk to the cheese factory. He was a fine young man, well liked by all his acquaintances. Dr. Cowan, coroner, was notified of the affair, but after learning of the circumstances decided that an inquest was unnecessary. A very sad incident in connection with the affair is that the deceased was engaged to a young lady residing in Napanee and he was spending the weekend in Napanee to be with her.

Bell, Aylsworth Perry Bowen	OBITUARY - Aylsworth Perry Bowen Bell. The subject of this sketch, Aylsworth Perry Bowen Bell, was born in the Township of Camden, County of Addington, Ont., on the farm now owned by Alfred M. Bell on the last day of November, 1840. He has always lived near his birthplace, with exception of the past three years, which he spent with his children in the Canadian West and in Michigan. He was the seventh son of John and Sarah Bell, who both predeceased him. There was a large family of children, eight sons and four daughters, and “Bowen” as he was familiarly known, was the last to pass out. Mr. Bell was married to Thressa Breault, of Camden on July 3^rd 1864, thus they celebrated their golden wedding more that a year and a half ago. To this union was born six sons and three daughters. Besides one boy who died in infancy, there have also passed to their reward, Amelia in 1906, and Seymour in 1910, thus leaving besides the heartbroken widow, who also is stricken in years, four sons, Elwell, of Napanee; Wellington of Saskatchewan; Rev. E. Frazer of Freemont, Mich.; Rev. Aylsworth B., of Buffalo Centre, Iowa, and two daughters, Bathilda and Edith, also of Saskatchewan. Mr. Bell has always been a consistent member of the Methodist Church, having been converted in his youth at revival meetings held at Lynn, by his brother, Rev. J. D. Bell. He was educated at Newburgh Academy, graduating from there with a second class teachers certificate when he was 19 years of age. He taught school for several years before settling upon his farm at Wesley. Mr. Bell is a man who is widely known and highly respected by all, old and young and will be mourned by a wide circle of friends. He was a hardworking and dutiful father and a faithful husband, and will be missed by one and all. Truly we can say of him, “Thou shalt be missed because thy place will be vacant.” No task was too hard and no sacrifice too great for him if the happiness of his family were concerned, and while we miss father and mourn him as gone from us, yet we can only remember that the Good Gardener has just seen fit to transplant our loved one in that great expanse where he may develop and grow in happiness and felicity throughout eternity. And so while we say sadly, “good-bye father”, yet we also add, your life was an inspiration to us to live, so as to meet you with all our loved ones in that better land. Mr. Bell passed away December 24^th, 1915, at his home in Napanee. Funeral took place there from on Sunday Dec. 26^th at 2 o’clock. Thus all that is mortal of one we loved has been bid away, but his memory shall be green as long as we live, for form the sundown of his long and useful life shall remain that beautiful afterglow that will lighten the pathway of many a way-worn traveller.	1915 Newspaper Clipping

Bell, Mrs. John Albert (nee Lloyd)	Obituary - Mrs. John Albert Ball It is with sorrow that we report the death of Mrs. John Albert Bell, which took place at her home, on Tuesday evening, Dec. 28th, 1926, following a brief illness. She was the daughter of godly parents, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Lloyd, who were devoted members of the Wesleyan Methodist church. It was on July 9th, 1854, in North Fredericksburgh Township, that she was born into this Christian home, surrounded with the atmosphere of a living and vital religion in her parents' lives. It is not surprising that at the early age of 9 years, she experienced a new found joy in her own conversion and consecration to Jesus Christ as her Saviour, and in His service she continued with all diligence to add to her knowledge, virtue, grace and godliness. In the year 1879, she was united in marriage to Mr. John Albert Bell. This proved to be a most happy union of two lives consecrated to their Saviour's service, and continued to strengthen through their varied experiences of 47 years of married life. In part perhaps this was due to the fact that during their courtship days, she by her Christian influence, won him to the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus one in heart, life and ideals, they walked the way of life most happily together. However, on Tuesday evening, December 28th, this happy bond was broken; our consolation is "She is not for God took her" - "Servant of God well done, Thy glorious warfare's past, The battle's fought, the race is won, And thou art crowned at last." From her earliest years she manifested a zealous desire to follow in the paths of righteousness and thus pressing on in this way developed a noble, pure and beautiful character, which eventually brought forth much fruit in strenuous and untiring labours for the church of her choice. For many years she has been an ardent supporter of Christian stewardship of her means, time and personality. This explains why she was always willing, not only to be a member of our Women's Missionary Society, Ladies' Aid, Sunday School and class, but an energetic leader and worker in all our church enterprises. She was one to whom we could look in our problems for wise counsel and guidance. Her restless activity and youthfulness of spirit made us feel that she was younger than years would say. But now her voice is silent and her heart and hands are at rest. Is it possible for such a life to cease without it being most sadly missed? No. In her home her saintly influence counted greatly through all the years, as a true helpmate to her husband and a loving mother to her children. Though not too robust in health, yet she maintained a spirit of cheerfulness that was an inspiration to her husband, children and grandchildren, who will remember her with loving hearts, for her devoted and unselfish life, her large-heartedness, and wise counsels. The funeral service, conducted by her Pastor, was very largely attended and was very fittingly held in the Brick Church,, Morven, being the place of worship that her father helped to build over fifty years ago; also for the reason that ever since her childhood, it has been her church home, and very rarely was she absent from the Sunday School, Class, or public worship in this church when she was physically able to be present. Her regularity in attending and attentiveness to the preaching of the gospel has always been an inspiration to her Pastor. She will be greatly missed, not only in her home, but from our church and kindred societies, also from the circle of our neighbourhood, for we feel that every phase of our community life has been enriched by her life. Of her immediate relatives, he leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, Mr. John Albert Bell, and one daughter, Mrs. Clarence Sharp, and her grandchildren; also two sisters, Mrs. Sam Bell and Mrs. M.N. Empey.	Jan 14 1927 Napanee Beaver

Bennett, Bertha E. (nee Hawley)	Late Bertha E. Bennett - Passed away Jan. 24th at the early age of 29 years, Bertha E. Bennett, only daughter of A.W. Hawley, of North Fredericksburgh, and beloved wife of James G. Bennett of Kingston. Her disease, consumption, threatened seriously over a year ago, and for change of climate she was taken to Michigan to spend the summer with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Drury. She still failed in health, and, in October, returned to Canada to gradually fade away. In youth she experienced the saving power, lived an earnest Christian life, and during her illness was patient and resigned to the heavenly will. Nearly six years ago she was married to J.G. Bennett, then of Toronto. During her stay in Kingston she made a host of friends, and no enemies. She many times desired to be at rest, and was ready at any moment to slip her hand in the great palm of a loving Saviour, and cross the dark river, which, when she had stepped in, mysteriously became "only a little brook." A few hours before she died, she said, "Do they think I am dying? I wish I was; I am so happy. I see all the good things before me now." Shortly after, she crossed the river, very calmly, without a struggle, to pillow her head on the bosom of her Father, who she loved and served so well.

Betzner, David	DAVID BETZNER - Was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was a good man of varied talents and industrious beyond many, and had saved quite a competency. He knew how to get, he knew how to save, and he knew how to give, and that is what few do know. His ancestors came from Germany to Pennsylvania, and his parents were among the earliest settlers in Waterloo county, in Canada. David was born in 1801, and was the first white child born in that county. His ancestors were Tankers, and he was converted at an early age and united with that church. About thirty years ago he united with the New Connexion Methodist at Copetown. From that time he was known far and near as the ministers’ friend. How many have enjoyed the hospitality of his home and the cheer of his Christian counsel and liberality. Though living to a great age, he retained all his faculties of body till the last. He retained the cheer and vivacity of youth even down to old age. His last sickness was protracted and painful, but he never murmured, and often spoke of his joy and trust in the Saviour. Many who read those lines will be saddened at the loss of an old familiar friend. He passed away on March 16^th, 1886, at the ripe old age of 85 years, two months and seven days. His remains were borne to their resting place by his five sons and a nephew, who are walking in his footsteps. A large concourse of friends and acquaintances met to pay a tribute of respect to his memory, while we endeavoured to discourse upon Prov. xxii 1, he having made this better choice.

Bogart, Betsy Maria (nee Dorland)	At her residence in Ameliasburgh, Nov. Last, aged 23 years, Betsy Maria, wife of Mr. Cornelius V. Bogart, and daughter of Peter Dorland Esq., of Adolphustown. In early life sister Bogart was brought up in and instructed by, the Church of England, by which she profited beyond many of her fellows, as far as theory went. But nothwithstanding these advantages, she permitted the spirit to be lost in the letter, the substance in the shade, till several years of her short life had passed away. In 1831, she was united in matrimony with Mr. Bogart, who some time previous was brought to the knowledge of the truth by the remission of sins and joined the methodist Church. Immediately after their union, brother Bogart (as all heads of families should do) set up an alter to the God of Heaven, at which he and his late companion regularly bowed to worship. Mrs. Bogart soon became deeply affected and much concerned about the salvation of her soul and was oft times seen to weep when her husband was pleading at a throne of grace for himself and her. She continued in this state manifesting great anxiety to obtain the forgiveness of her sins, till the next year, when she and her husband attended a Camp Meeting, during which her burdened soul was delivered, her bound spirit set free, by faith in him who “bore her grief and carried her sorrows, and by whose stripes she was healed.” Being now adopted into the family of God, sister Bogart immediately joined the Methodist Church, of which she remained a faithful and consistent member till she joined the Church above. In 1836 brother and sister Bogart left the Bay of Quinte and removed over to the Murray circuit and were made a great blessing to the neighborhood in which they settled. Early in last fall it pleased the great head of the Church to commence a gracious work of conviction and conversion within the bounds of brother Bogart’s class. During this revival, sister Bogart was very active and zealous in her labour of love, perhaps too much so for her constitution, the firmness of which was already shaken by severe afflictions. Early in Nov. she caught a severe cold upon which the inflammation set in to such a degree, that it was only at rare intervals that she had her right mind. Whenever she had, she expressed a strong confidence in the Lord. I visited her in her afflictions and found her very much deranged at times. Shortly after I went in, she seemed to rally and recognized me and asked me to pray for her. Before engaging in this solemn duty, I asked her respecting her prospects of the upper world. “Brother Allison,” said she, “that is just what I am thinking about, how it will be with me in the other world, I believe it will be well.” We then commenced in prayer, during which she seemed to be much engaged. Thus she continued whenever reason took its seat, to give evidence “of her part in the Redeemer’s blood,” till the 18^th of Nov., when her happy spirit took its flight, no doubt to the paradise of God. She has left an affectionate husband, two children (one of whom was but six months old) and a large circle of more distant relatives and friends to suffer and mourn her loss. Her remains were taken and deposited in the clay of her native Township; there to remain among the pale nations of the dead, till the sound of the last trumpet shall be heard, when we have no doubt her happy spirit, and her slumbering dust will come up, all immortalized before the eternal throne and hear the welcome sentence, “well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord,” amen and Amen.
