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.

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

Like his brother James, whose obituary notice appeared in the CHRISTIAN GUARDIAN, January 6^th, he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Augusta for over fifty years. 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 lived to see nearly all his children converted and members of the Methodist Church. His death was sudden. 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. On being reminded that he was very ill and it was probable that death would soon release him from his sufferings, he said; “I am ready to go any minute.” He died trusting in Christ. At his funeral a large number of people gathered in the Methodist Church showing their sympathy for the bereaved and their respect for the deceased. [signed] S. G.

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 know, 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 striken 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

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, David Ford (Rev. Canon)	Canon Bogart of Belleville, Dead – After a long patiently borne illness, the Rev. Canon David Ford Bogart passed away at his home on Commercial Street, Belleville, on Thursday, Nov 19^th. Prior to the closing of St. John’s Church on Murney’s hill a little over two years ago, his health had not been of the best and it was owing to his indisposition in the main that services in that church were discontinued. He had had a slight stroke. Recently he was confined to his home. A pathetic feature of his demise is that he leaves a widow who is herself an invalid. Rev. Canon Bogart was born in Brockville seventy-three years ago. He was educated at Upper Canada College and Trinity University; Toronto, at both of which institutions he distinguished himself in studies and on the campus, having been captain of the U.C.C. cricket team and also of that at Trinity, proceeded to the degree of M.A. and was ordained deacon in 1865 and to the priesthood in 1866. He first ministered at Tetley and became curate to his brother, Rev. James John Bogart, then parish priest at Napanee, but now the Venerable Archdeacon Bogart of Ottawa. Later he became incumbent of Selby and Salmon River and in 1883 became rector of St. John’s Anglican Church in West Belleville. Here he was the second and last rector, as he occupied the pulpit until the sanctuary was closed. The late Canon Bogart was known to all classes of citizens and his prolonged illness had called forth many expressions of deep regret. His widow whose illness has been of even longer duration has the deepest sympathy of the public. Canon Bogart is not survived by any family. He leaves two nephews, Clarence Bogart, general manager of the Dominion Bank, and Mortimer Bogart of the Dominion Bank, Montreal. An intimate cousin of deceased is Mr. Beverly Jones, solicitor for the Canada Permanent Loan and Savings Co. Canon Bogart’s funeral was held on Saturday, Nov 21^st in St. Thomas’ church.

Bogart, Mrs.	MRS. BOGART - Our readers will join with us in regretting the death of the venerable Mrs. Bogart, of Adolphustown. Up to the time of her death Mrs. Bogart, though of the great age of 101 years and 5 months, retained the use of all her senses, and finally passed away very suddenly. She leaves a numerous circle of relatives, about 150 we understand, to mourn her decease, including children, grand-children and great-grand-children. She was one of the first settlers, having located in Adolphustown in the year 1780, and ever since made that her home. She was born in New Jersey, near New York, while it was yet a British Province. For the last two years her friends and relations have celebrated her birthday by giving a grand pic-nic. At the last celebration about one thousand people were present, some coming from Chicago, Ill., and other distant places. -Intelligencer, Jan. 31	1874 Journal of Education for Ontario

DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT - On Monday morning last Mrs. Phoebe Bogart, relict of the late John Bogart, of Adolphustown, died at the residence of her son, Peter Bogart, Esq., Bridge street, Napanee. She was ailing but a very short time, merely complaining with a cold and was not considered at all dangerous until Sunday, so that the news of her death came as an unpleasant surprise to both friends and relatives. Deceased was a daughter of the late Archibald Campbell, Esq., one of the pioneers of Adolphustown. She was born in the township and has always resided there; was married to her late husband in the year 1826. She was the mother of eight children, all of whom survive her; three of her sons live in Napanee - Gilbert Bogart Esq., postmaster; Peter Bogart, Esq., and Mr. James Bogart, of the registry office. She was aged 78 years and 11 months at the time of her death, having survived her husband 11 years. Deceased has long been a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist Church of Canada and was highly respected for her piety and many Christian virtues. She was widely known, especially in the township of Adolphustown, and it is safe to say that none was more generally esteemed. For the last few years she has lived at the homestead, at what is known as Bogart's wharf, during the summer months, and during the winter with her children in Napanee. Her remains were interred in the family plot at the homestead, and the funeral was attended by a large number of relatives and sympathising friends, who drove a long distance through the piercing cold to pay the last sad homage of respect to the deceased.	1889 From the Watson Scrapbooks

He belonged to the Independent Order of Foresters and was one of the organizers of Court Laurentian, of which he was a zealous member. In the civil service he was deservedly esteemed, occupying the position of assistant to his respected father, Mr. Edward Botterell, distributor of parliamentary papers, House of Commons.

Bowerman, Deborah (nee Mullett)	OBITUARY - Deborah, relict of the late Vincent Bowerman, of Hallowell, died on October 27^th, 1892, aged 87 years and 11 months. She was the daughter of William Mullet and his wife Mary Clothier who came to Canada from Frompton, Illminster, England, about the year 1818. Mrs. Bowerman’s first husband was Consider Haight, of Adolphustown. Their children are Mrs. Robert Cadman and Mrs. Nelson Sills, of Lennox county, and Mrs. Levi Bowerman and Mrs. John P. Williams, of Hallowell. Mrs. Wm. Clendenan and Mrs. Robert Richardson, of Pickering, Ont., were sisters of the deceased.

Bowerman, Ida Eleanor (nee Bedell)	In Memoriam - There died on the 11^th inst., at her home near Bloomfield, Ida Eleanor Bedell, wife of Dr. A. C. Bowerman. The funeral occurred at 2 o’clock on Friday, and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. It was but a little over two weeks ago that Mrs. Bowerman was surrounded by loving relatives, and enjoyed a large circle of intimate friends with whom she was a favorite; today she and her little son are sleeping in “Glenwood”. The sympathy of this community is extended to the bereaved relatives in their affliction. When in health, Mrs. Bowerman never entertained flattering ideas of life, nor gilded it with false colors; she never believed that her life would be greatly prolonged, but she was not at all discouraged by the fact, and when the messenger came she was ready; when told that the end was near, she received the information with composure, and, with a countenance glowing with heavenly inspiration, said; “Weep not for me, but for yourselves.” When life’s taper had nearly ceased to burn, her mind continued clear, and when speech had left, her face was brightened with a smile so sweet and heavenly - so indicative of perfect happiness, as to ever be to those who witnessed it a source of comforting reflection. - Though consigned to the tomb, she continues to live in the affection and memory of many who had been favored with her acquaintance; in spirit she is with us, and shall be till from the page of life our names are gone. “What is life? ‘Tis a delicate shell. thrown up from eternity’s flow. On time’s bank of quicksand to dwell, and a moment its loveliness show. Gone back to the element grand Is the billow that brought it on shore; See! A mother is washing the sand, And the beautiful shell is no more.” Lottie Talcott. Bloomfield, Aug 18, 1894.	1894 Newspaper Clipping

Box, Hugh	Sillsville Resident, Hugh Box, Killed on C.N.R. Crossing - Car Struck by Fast East Bound Express Saturday Afternoon - Hugh Box, one of the best known residents of the south part of the county of Lennox and Addington, was killed instantly shortly after two o'clock, daylight saving time, last Saturday afternoon, when his car was struck by a fast east-bound C.N.R. express at Hart's Crossing, about three miles east of Napanee. Mr. Box was a well-known farmer of the Sillsville district and for the past nine years had been agent for the Massey-Harris Implement Company. In his latter capacity he had many contacts with people throughout the county. On Saturday, Mr. Box had been in Napanee during the morning and when on his way home shortly after lunch, turned north from the Hamburg Road at what is known as the cheese factory corner to make a business call at the home of Mr. Frank Hart. After going through a subway under the C.N.R. track, the road turns and, in order to reach the Hart farm, vehicles ascend a rather steep approach to a level crossing. It was on this crossing that Mr. Box's car was struck by the second section of the fast express. So far as can be learned there were no eye-witnesses of the accident with the possible exception of the trainmen. Iris Hart, 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hart, was standing at the window of the Hart home when she heard the express make an unusual noise as it came to a sudden stop. When she looked up, she saw a car being thrown into a deep ditch. She and her grandmother ran out and found Mr. Box's body lying in the ditch. A neighbour, Mrs. Jack Lawlor, who is a nurse, was summoned, but Mr. Box was dead. His car, which was carried some distance by the train, was a total wreck. The late Mr. Box was born in South Fredericksburgh on the farm where he had been living for the past thirty years or more. He was a son of the late Philip Box and Edith Clapp, members of old families of the district. His parents died when he was a young boy and part of his early life was spent in Kingston, where he attended school and graduated from a business college. After his marriage to Jane Roberts, daughter of the late Canon William Roberts, for some time rector of the Anglican Parish of Adolphustown, Mr. Box took up farming and continued to live on the family homestead, until his death. For many years he was president of the UEL Cheese Factory, and recently was one of the canvassers in connection with the Red Cross Campaign and the Victory Loan Campaign. He was a member of St. Alban's Anglican Church, Adolphustown, where his funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, with Rev. C.C. Brazill, the rector, in charge. Interment followed in Riverside Cemetery. Mr. Box is survived by his wife, one daughter, Edith, Mrs. (Capt.) Leavens, Kingston, and one son, William, at home.	From the Scrapbook of Mrs. Marguerite Duffett

Bradley, Ethel (nee Robertson)	MRS. BRADLEY’S DEATH – Deceased Lady Had Large Number of Friends in Toronto – Special Despatch to The Globe – Belleville, Aug. 6 - Mrs. Bradley, wife of Dr. O.W. Bradley of Montreal, who was killed by a passenger train in Montreal on Saturday, was the only child of the late Alex. Robertson, M.P. for West Hastings. She was married here to Dr. Bradley on April 26 last. Mrs. Stewart, who was injured, was an aunt of the deceased. Mrs. Bradley was a most popular lady here, and her tragic death came as a terrible shock to her hundreds of friends here. Mrs. Stewart was a sister of Mr. J. Grace, Secretary of the Toronto Railway Company. KILLED AT DORVAL – A very sad accident occurred at Dorval Station on Saturday evening by which the young wife of Dr. O. W. Bradley, Montreal, was instantly killed and her aunt, Mrs. George Stewart, of Belleville, was severely injured. It is not known as yet exactly how the accident occurred. Mrs. Stewart, however, attributes it to the air suction of the rapidly moving train which passed. She states that she and her niece were standing on the narrow platform between the two tracks at Dorval, waiting for the motor car to take Mrs. Bradley back to Montreal. While watching the motor car they did not observe the Imperial Limited, which came along very fast, and by the disturbance of air swirled them against it. Mrs. Bradley was struck on the temple by some projection, which smashed her skull in on her brain, causing instant death. Mrs. Stewart was more fortunate, and was struck on the arm with such force as to throw her away from the rushing train. Her arm was badly fractured and lacerated, and she suffered a severe shaking up. It was not thought, however, that she will lose the arm or suffer any permanent ill effects from the accident. Mrs. Bradley was Miss Ethel Robertson, of Belleville, and niece of the late John Bell, K.C. Both Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Stewart are well known in Napanee, having visited Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Wilson, frequently here.	From the Watson Scrapbooks

Breckenridge, Alexander	THE LATE ALEXANDER BRECKENRIDGE - A sad gloom was cast over this community on Easter Sunday morning when it became known that the venerable old gentleman, Mr. Alexander Breckenridge, of Little Creek, had passed away. Although his death was not unexpected for some time past, he held all his faculties till near the last. He was born at Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland, on March 10^th, 1810, and accordingly had passed the century mark. He indeed had a wonderful intellect and memory for a man of his age, and his many friends more that enjoyed many hours listening to his tales concerning the Highlands of his dear old Scotland. With his wife, Miss Robona McGill, who preceded him to the grave some twenty seven years ago, and three of his family, he set sail for Canada in 1854, and after a very rough three months voyage he landed in Kingston, and took up farming near Colinsbay, and thence to Amherst Island when it was yet but a forest. He resided at Little Creek on the farm upon which he died for the past thirty five years, most of which he was very active, and was widely known in the district. Some five years ago he received his second sight, and it was wonderful to hear him read without any aid from glasses. Although he never took any active part in politics he was always relied upon as a staunch supporter of the Liberal party. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Mr. Conn conducted the funeral services at his home on Tuesday, March 20^th. His family consisted of Alexander Jr. and David who died some few years ago, John of British Columbia, and James and Annie, on the old homestead. His pallbearers were Messrs. J. F. Smith, Alf. Kent, Jas. Dillenbeck, G. M. Card, A. Herrington and A. Bowen. The funeral was largely attended and his remains were placed in the Western cemetery vault to await interment in the family plot.	1910 Newspaper Clipping
Brennan, Barnabas	DIED - At Adolphustown, on Thursday last, Mr. Barnabus Brennan, for many years an inhabitant of Kingston, aged 44 years. DIED - At Adolphustown, on Thursday last, the 14^th inst., Mr. BARNABAS BRENNAN, for many years a resident of Kingston, merchant, aged 44 years. Mr. B. was a native of Ireland, but came to this Province in 1816, where he has resided ever since. Having been an acceptable member of the Methodist church before he came to the place, he soon attached himself to the Society in Kingston, in which he has sustained, with distinguished zeal and ability, several responsible situations, but for the greatest portion of time that of Recording Steward, in the faithful discharge of the duties of which he did honor to his head and his heart. He was also superintendent of a large Sabbath School for several years, for the spiritual prosperity of which his ardor and zeal were untiring; and in all the relations in which he stood to the church, he endeared himself to his brethren by the strict integrity and singleness of heart with which he was ever guided. - In June last, he came to the resolution of retiring from the town, and settling himself in the country, for which purpose he purchased a pleasantly situated farm on Hay Bay in Adolphustown; but previous to his removal there, was suddenly attacked by a paralytic affection, from which he never recovered, but which continued, from time to time, with increased violence, rendering him incapable of attending, with few exceptions, to his temporal concerns. But the immortal, deathless spirit, was still ripening fro eternal joys, and it may be truly said of our deceased brother, the he did “in patience possess his soul,” for not a murmur, or single word of repining was known to escape his lips, from the time of his first severe attack till he resigned his soul, in the triumphs of faith, into the hands of his Redeemer. - Much might be said, for the encouragement of Christians, respecting the deceased, but which would occupy too great a space of your interesting paper suffice it, therefore, to say, that he lived a consistent Christian, and has left a wife, several children, and a numerous circle of friends to mourn, but not without hope, their exceeding great loss; but which, it is confidently believed, will prove his infinite and eternal gain. His funeral took place on Sunday last, at the residence of his father-in-law, Mr. Nicholas Peterson, Sen., on Hay Bay, which was numerously attended; and the universal sympathy of feeling manifested on the occasion, showed the high esteem in which he was held by those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. - “Let me die the death of the righteous, let my last end be like his.” The Christian Guardian will confer a favor by inserting the above.

During the last few years, he had enjoyed fairly good health with the exception of occasional heart attacks. It was one of these attacks which resulted in his sudden passing. Since the death of his father, the late Charles Jacob Brown, on September 6^th 1916, he and his widowed mother lived a good deal of the time alone on the old Brown homestead, near Fredericksburgh station, and his sudden passing was a terrible shock to his aged mother. He was a true lover of nature and was especially interested in poultry, gardening and flowers, and made a success of these hobbies. He was of a kind, gentle and thoughtful nature, always earnest and true and ready to give assistance, always being more ready to give than to receive; a truly devoted son. His funeral was held at the home Thursday November 24^th and was conducted by his pastor, the Rev. R. W. Street, Morven United Church. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fralick sang a beautiful duet, "Sometime We Will Understand". The body was laid to rest in the family plot at Morven. Besides his aged and heart-broken mother, who passed away shortly after his death, he left to mourn his loss four sisters, Mrs. B.S. VanAystyne; Mrs. S. A. Amey; Mrs. J.C. Parrott and Mrs. J. S. Amey. The homestead was handed down from his grandfather, Sergt. David Bucklin Brown. In its early days it was renowned for its woollen and saw mills. His son, Charles, learned the carriage making and opened up a shop at Centreville, but after the death of his father, returned to the home and became one of the most prosperous farmers of his time. He married Theresa Clancy, daughter of William Clancy of Newburgh. Both Charles and his son David were born and died on the homestead. His ancestors came to America on the Mayflower and settled near Bath. Two brothers, Sergt. David Bucklin Brown, who married the daughter of Col. Isaac Fraser and afterwards acquired the property at Fredericksburgh, and James Brown, who settled in the Limestone City. Three other brothers settled in the States. General Jacob Brown, was commander-in-chief of the American Army during the early Mexican War, losing his life at Brownsville, Texas. Fort Brown was named in his honor across the Rio Grande from Mexico. Another brother an English Church clergyman settled in Rhode Island, a descendant of whom John Nicholas Brown founded Brown University. The other brother, Lieut. Brown settled in Massachussetts. Of the two families who settled in Canada, Dr. M. J. Brown, Kingston and Charles Jacob Brown, of Fredericksburgh, were spared to within a few months of each other.	1932 From Mrs. Walter Paul's scrapbook

Brown, Samuel S.	OBITUARY - Samuel S. Brown On December 30^th, 1927, after a protracted illness of several months, Mr. Samuel S. Brown passed away, at the age of 49 years. The deceased had been a resident of this district all his life, and his quiet, pleasant, lovable disposition, had won for him a host of friends. His untimely death is much to be regretted, for it has taken him from his loving wife and baby son, and the whole community suffers the loss of a most loyal, worthy and respected citizen. Besides his wife and baby son, he leaves to mourn his loss, four brothers, Wm., of Lime Lake; George, Thomas and James, of Ebenezer, and two sisters, Mrs. Wm. Metcalfe, of the West, and Mrs. Wm. English, of Shannonville. The funeral service which was largely attended, was held in Ebenezer Church, Rev. M. Sharpe, a former pastor, officiating. The bearers were W. Whiteman, G. Provins, J. Doyle, C. Anderson, C. Mastin and H. Mastin. Rev. Mr. Sharpe took for his text, “Behold I show you a mystery”. God’s ways are not our ways and He will provide a way. We know the departed never lost his trust in God, through all his illness, for he left a message to his sorrowing wife, “Trust in God and follow on.” Ebenezer Church has indeed lost a very useful member, for he loved the Church he had been brought up in and never hesitated to respond to any call made on him. In the choir his assistance was freely given. For a number of years he was superintendent of the Sunday School, and also taught a class of young boys. He loved the young people and never forgot to give an encouraging word. He was a faithful member of the Orange Lodge, being Master of the Ebenezer Lodge, 974, and Chaplain of the black Order. To the sorrowing friends, the whole community extends their deepest sympathy and remembering the beautiful words of the anthem rendered by the choir, “Meekly Wait and Murmur Not.”	1927 Scrapbook Clipping
Brown, Theressa (nee Clancy)	Theressa Clancy Brown, widow of the late Charles J. Brown, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. D. Parrott, Odessa, on February 13^th , 1933, after an illness of about three weeks, was one of Morven's oldest and most respected residents. Mrs. Brown was a daughter of the late William Clancy of Newburgh. She had the rare distinction of being one of triplets, one of whom, Jacob Pool, died in 1898, and another, William Harve, died in infancy. Deceased who was in her 91^st year, was a member of Morven United Church. All her life, she had been associated with the Methodist and later with the United Church. In August 1868, she married Charles Jacob Brown and for 64 years she resided on the Brown homestead. Mr. Brown predeceased her in 1916. She was a great lover of flowers and music, and as a girl attended singing school and sang in the choir. Even when very ill, she asked for her favorite songs and joined in the singing. Her prime interest was in homemaking, and in every sense was a helpmate, a loyal mother, and wife. Her husband set a high value on her judgement, and it was this harmony that brought them success and happiness. She was perpetually young and delighted in sharing her pleasures and having her friends in her home. She was a good friend, a notable mother and was loved for her cheerful spirit and happy outlook on life. Her flowers were a source of delight to her in her declining years, she loved them all; her tall palm she had watched grow from a seedling, and so many choice plants inside and outside the home. The sudden death of her son was a great shock but she did her best to bear up under the strain. Last Christmas was spent in the old home with her family, after which she went to spend the winter with her daughter. On January 22nd, she celebrated her 90th birthday. Many friends called to extend congratulations and gifts and greetings were received from far and near. A few days after her birthday she was taken ill and despite all loving hands could do, she gradually slipped away at her master's call. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Fletcher of Odessa, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.C. Parrott and interment was made at the family plot in Morven. At the service, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fralick friends of the family, sang a beautiful duet. Surviving are four daughters - Mrs. B. S Vanalstyne, Mrs. S. A. Amey, Mrs. J.C. Parrott and Mrs. J. S. Amey, three sisters, Mrs. A.M.

Buchanan, Mrs. James (nee Campbell)	MRS. JAMES BUCHANAN - Daughter of Mr. G. C. Campbell, of Forester’s Falls, was suddenly removed from earth to heaven on the 18^th of March, 1886. She was born at Forester’s Falls on the 11^th of October, 1856. She gave her heart to her Saviour when only a child, and through her life, which was short, “lived her God to love, her God to glorify.” On the 19^th of March, 1879, she was united in marriage to Mr. James Buchanan, of Beachburg, who now deeply mourns his loss, and whom we hope will one day meet her in that glorious world above where husbands and wives and loved ones, who have died in the Lord, meet to part no more. How often death takes those who seem to be the most valuable in the home circle, in the Church and in society; it seems so in this case. She was one of those devoted wives and mothers who make home bright, happy and blessed. Nearly two years ago she was seized with bronchitis, which finally turned to consumption, and though everything which medical skill and a self sacrificing, devoted, loving husband and kind sister could do was done, yet she passed away from earth and left grief stricken ones behind. but, though dead, her influence for good while living still remains. Her sick-room was not saddened with doubts and fears, but was brightened with the assurance of the presence and blessing of Jesus. She could say, “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth me from all sin.” She was anxious to live with her husband and little boy, whom she loved so dearly; yet she could say, “Thy will be done.” She had no fear of death. She said that very often she thought that she was as happy as she could live, and it seemed to her at times as if she could see her Saviour in her room. [signed] Wm.

He was 21 and his wife 18. Mr. Burrows took a great interest in his former pupils, and his only regret was that most of them were scattered all over the globe. On the occasion of his last birthday, several of his old pupils called on him to offer their congratulations. Poetry attracted the aged educationist and one of his poems were published in 1928 in the March issue of the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society.

During this time he was ever trying to raise the status of the county schools, and had a keen sympathy for the young teachers of that day and gave many a helping hand in conducting their classes. During early years, travelling in the far north was difficult and hazardous, and accommodation was poor. Often the north section had to be visited on horseback and roads were impassable. Frequently accommodation was obtained at lumber camps and many stories were told of the rough but kindly shantymen. During his inspectorate he had many special appointments from the Department of Education, including, examiner at the Deaf and Dumb Institute, Belleville, and at normal schools.

Busby, Sidney John	SIDNEY JOHN BUSBY The angel of death came into our neighborhood Friday evening March 11^th, and took from our midst a loving husband, son, brother, and neighbor, in the person of Sidney Busby. He had been enjoying good health until one week previous to his passing, when he was taken ill, and although everything was done that loving hands could do and medical assistance provide, he passed into the Great Beyond, a ransomed soul. Happy to meet and be with his Saviour. His passing came as a great shock to everyone. Sid, as we all knew him, had lived all his brief life in our midst, being born on November 14^th, 1894. He lived with his parents on the old homestead, situated a short distance from the place where he resided at the time of his passing , and although his brief span of life seemed all too short, he had endeared himself to each and everyone by his fine Christian qualities, manly principles,, loving and unselfish disposition. On March 19^th, 1919, he married Bessie Baird, of Anderson, who is left to mourn a loving husband. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Busby, of Napanee, one sister, Mrs. Edward Sexsmith, and a niece, Hazel Sexsmith, of Wesley are left to mourn a dutiful son, brother and uncle as well as the surrounding community, where he will be missed by all. He was a general favorite where ever he chanced to be, having for the past few years filled the office of secretary for School Section No. 8, a position he filled admirably, and with general satisfaction to all. He was also employed and satisfactorily served the township of Richmond in road construction work and later did much valuable work along the same line for the county of Lennox. The funeral assembled at his residence, near Forest Mills, and proceeded to Selby United Church, where they were joined by a large number of friends who had gathered to pay their final tribute. The service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. A. C. Oliver, assisted by Rev. Foley, of Selby, who gave a very comforting and soul inspiring discourse. The text was taken from Samuel I, 20^th Chapter, 3^rd verse “There is but a step between Me and Death” together with the reading of the 90^th Psalm and a well chosen selection by the Forest Mills Choir, and the well known number “My Saviour First of All”, ably rendered by W. Davis, concluded the service that seemed to blend the sympathies of man with the divine compassion. From there the cortege proceeded to Riverview vault, Napanee, where interment will take place later. The pall-bearers were Frank, Fred and Charley McFarlane, Harry Pringle, Alex. Collins and Ernest Kerr. The many floral tributes were carried by David Garrick, Ambrose Switzer, Percy Pringle and Wilbert Bush. “Asleep in Jesus, Blessed sheep From which none ever wake to weep.” Death of Sidney Busby The death of Sidney Busby which took place at his home at Forest Mills on Friday evening came as a shock to his relatives and many friends throughout this district. A man only thirty-eight years of age and one of the best known of the younger farmers in Richmond Township, his illness had been of a few days duration. A little over a week ago, he was taken ill with jaundice and since that time other complications had set in, and for two days preceding his death his condition had been very low. A son of Mr. and Mrs. William Busby, he was born in the Township of Richmond, and followed in the footsteps of his father, that of farming, and after his parents had moved to Napanee some few years ago, he assumed charge of the old homestead. He was a frequent visitor to Napanee, was exceptionally well-known and had a wide circle of friends, by whom he was held in the highest of esteem. Several years ago he was united in marriage to Bessie Baird, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Baird of Anderson. About five years ago, Mrs. Baird was very ill for a considerable time and was in the Kingston General Hospital for several weeks. He was a member of the United Church, and the high regard in which he was held was evidenced on Sunday afternoon when the United Church at Selby was filled with relatives and friends for the funeral service. After the service the funeral cortege proceeded to Napanee where interment took place. Besides his aged parents, who reside on the Belleville Road, he leaves his widow, also one sister, Mrs. Sexsmith of Wesley. Mrs. George Chalk, Bridge street is a sister of Mrs. Baird. A considerable number from Napanee attended the funeral service. BUSBY - In loving memory of Sidney Busby, who passed away on March 11^th, 1932.

From early boyhood he showed great inclination for soldiering which increased as he grew older, until, as soon as old enough, he joined the 47^th Frontenac Regiment. In the year 1911 he passed through the Royal School of Infantry, obtaining his Lieutenancy, and returning the following year, 1912, was again successful and was gazetted to the rank of Captain. He was always kindly disposed, thoroughly dependable and a fine manly character, respected and esteemed by all, being especially a favorite with the boys. When it was decided to organize the boy Scouts at Camden East, he was the unanimous choice of the boys for the office of scoutmaster, and his work and influence among them will not be easily forgotten. In September, 1916, he enlisted for overseas service in the 146^th, being gazetted to the rank of Lieutenant, and on April 29^th, 1917, died of wounds in France. Many inquiries have been received as to the exact cause of his death. The undernoted letters, received by his brother, Sydney, Bush, supply the answer: April 29^th, 1917 Dear Mr. Bush - It is with the greatest regret that I have to tell you of your brother’s death. He was in his dugout with his Company Commander, Major Cooper (who was instantly killed), about 7 p.m. This was located near some of our 4.5 howitzer batteries, and the Germans started shelling one of these positions, during which one of the shells fell short and hit the dugout. Your brother was taken out unconscious and lived until the next day, but never recovered consciousness. We buried him in the cemetery of Aubigney and his grave is marked with our Battalion Cross. It was impossible for me to be present, owing to operations. Your brother had been with us six months and was always a very gallant officer and soldier. He was a fellow I could absolutely rely on, and his work on April 9^th in taking of the Vimy Ridge was fine. He was always willing and keen to go first. We all feel his death deeply, and his loss is a great one to his Battalion. His kit and personal effects have been forwarded to you. Again, accept my sincere sympathy in your great loss of a chap who always played the game, Yours very sincerely, J. B. ROGERS, Commanding 3^rd Canadian Battalion, Toronto Regiment. May 7^th, 1917 My Dear Mr. Bush - You will have heard some days ago the sad news of your brother’s death, and ever since I have been trying to get a chance to write. Perhaps you have heard from others how he was killed. He was with his Company, holding a support position during one of the notable advances our men have made lately, when a shell hit the top of the dugout, breaking it down on them. Your brother was injured in the head and did not become conscious at all, but lived until he reached the Casualty Clearing Station Aubigney, and died there. There was, of course, absolutely no chance for him from the first, and Major Cooper, his company Commander, died instantly. Your brother leaves such a good record in this Battalion for faithful work and cheerful devotion and comradeship that he will be greatly missed. Yet one cannot grudge him the glory of having played his part in the recent great advances, nor the privilege of having given himself in sacrifice in helping to secure such triumphs for his Battalion and his Country,. His own work as a Platoon Officer, both last month and all the time he has been here, helped greatly to accomplish the result. I do not know what others he leaves at home. I do know you must all remember him with loving pride and think to-day he rests in the peace of God’s Paradise. His body was laid to rest near where he died by the Chaplain and Capt. Calham, and other of the officers were present, and a cross erected by his Battalion will mark his grave., Yours very sincerely, M .L. ARCHER, Chaplain, 1^st Canadian Infantry.	1917 Scrapbook Clipping
Bussey, Albert E.	Death of A.E. Bussey – the many friends of Albert E. Bussey were surprised and pained to hear of his sudden death, at his home in Westernville, on Monday evening, Sept. 6. He was taken sick at Rochester, where he was engaged in business with his brother, Geo. H. Bussey. He hastened home to be cared for by the hands of loved ones; but their loving care could not save him. God saw fit in His infinite wisdom to take him hence, and He doeth all things well. A little more than five years have passed since he married Belle, the eldest daughter of Mr. Daniel G. Drummond, of Lee. Their married life has been short, but a very happy one. Of three children, two are left, and one has gone before to the fold of the Good Shepherd. Mr. Bussey was a promising young man. He had business abilities of a high order, was a very kind husband, and generous in all his feelings and actions. His truthfulness and honor in all business matters was well understood and appreciated by all who came in contact with him.. The testimony of sympathy for his stricken household, and to the warm place he held in the hearts of those who knew him, was shown by the large and solemn concourse of weeping friends who attended the funeral service. Several of his Rochester friends were present, bringing with them many beautiful flowers, in various and appropriate designs. Many from Rome were present also, and joined with his neighbors and friends in the last sad rites – laying him to rest in the cemetery familiar to him from his childhood.	From the Watson Scrapbooks

Byers, Rev. Henry	Sad Drowning of the Rev. Henry Byers. – Last evening about four o’clock the body of Rev. Hy. Byers, Kingston, was found floating in shallow water off the Barriefield shore near the other end of Cataraqui Bridge. On the bank were his overcoat and hat and two bottles of medicine. At first it was thought that it was a case of suicide, but now his friends are not of that opinion. He was in the hospital for a few days not feeling well; in fact he was sick for some time. Yesterday morning about six o’clock he was seen crossing the bridge, and it is thought that shortly after that hour he met his death. He was in the habit of bathing his head, and those who were best acquainted with him think that he went to the lake shore to bathe his head, and becoming suddenly ill fell forward and was drowned. The body was in only two feet of water. Of late he was very weak indeed. Deceased was born in Ireland, which country he left in 1838. In 1847 he came to Kingston and found employment as a painter for several years. He then studied for the ministry, and was located in the Wilton circuit preaching in several places. About thirty years ago he became a supernumerary, and then opened a boarding house at the head of Brock street, at which the students of Queen’s lodged. Of late he boarded on Queen street in a house which he owned. His property is said to be worth ten thousand dollars. He leaves a widow, who is the sister of Mr. I. Simpson.
