Obituary - Mr. W.H. Cadman

It was with sincere regret that the many friends of Mr. W.H. Cadman learned that he had suddenly passed away on Sunday, April 15th, 1928, at his home, Napanee. Although in his eighty-first year, and confined to his bed many months, he was a patient sufferer, and a devoted member of Trinity United Church for eighteen years. His earlier years were spent in Adolphustown, where he was born.

The late Mr. Cadman was one of the few surviving veterans of the Fenian Raid of 1866 and until very recently retained a clear recollection of events surrounding the Raid. His wife predeceased him about two years ago. Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. (Capt.) Bloomfield, Kingston; Mrs. C.F. Allison, Adolphustown, Mrs. W.G. Fretts and Mrs. T.M. Asselstine, of Napanee, having resided with the latter the past six years. The funeral, which took place Tuesday afternoon, from his late residence to Riverview cemetery, was conducted by the Rev. Harry Pawson, of Trinity United Church.

 

A prominent and highly esteemed resident of South Fredericksburgh passed away on Sunday in the person of Mr. W.H. Cadman, whose death at the age of eighty-one years followed an illness of over a year’s duration. Although confined to his bed these many months he was a patient sufferer and notwithstanding the best of medical care and the careful nursing by his devoted family it was evident for some time that the end was approaching. The late Mr. Cadman was a native of South Fredericksburgh and in his earlier years was a resident of Gosport and Adolphustown. For the past eighteen  years he had been a resident of the township in which he was born. Two years ago he suffered a sore bereavement in the death of his wife. He was a devoted member of Trinity United Church, Napanee, for the past eighteen years. He is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Bloomfield, Kingston; Mrs. Fred Allison, Adolphustown; Mrs. W.G. Fretts and Mrs. T.M. Asselstine, Napanee, he having resided with the latter for the past six years.

His passing will be learned with regret by a host of friends not only in the district but in Napanee as well. The funeral service was held today from his late residence to Riverside Cemetery. Rev. harry Pawson, pastor of Trinity United Church, officiating.

Elizabeth

(nee Cook)

 

The Late Mrs. Cameron -  Elizabeth Cameron, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Camden, died December 22nd, at her home in Newburgh, in her ninetieth year.  The youngest daughter of the late Richard and Jane Cook of Camden, she was born October 17th 1849 and baptized on January 15th 1850, in the old church of St. Luke’s at Camden East by the Reverend Paul Shirley, Missionary of the United Churches of England and Ireland, in the Township of Sheffield - Camden, and first rector of St. Luke’s.

In 1871 she was married to Nathaniel Graham.  The four children from this marriage are Mrs. Robert Dowdle, Mrs. William Dowdle, Edward Graham and Archibald Graham, all of Camden.  Her second husband was Thomas Cameron, of Inverness Scotland, who predeceased her in 1906.  Their son, Herbert Cameron, lives in Windsor, where he is Classics Master in the Patterson Collegiate Institute.

Mrs. Cameron had a remarkable memory and was very conversant with the early history of Lennox and Addington.  Her mind continued to be keen and active till the very end of her life.  She was an indefatigable worker and took great pride in the management of her home which was always immaculate.  Conspicuous among her many virtues was the wonderful and ideal unselfishness which motivated her every action.  She thought always of others and never of herself.  A devoted mother, a kind and sympathetic neighbour, who could always be depended on in time of sickness or trouble and a devout Christian who read each day her Bible and the Book of Common Prayer.  She will be missed by a wide circle of friends, to whom she was an inspiration.

Her funeral took place on Saturday, December 24th.  Six grandsons acted as pall-bearers.  A short service was held at her late residence by the Rev. Canon R. W. Spencer.   By special request, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Wartman of Napanee, sang the beautiful hymn, “Does Jesus Care”.  The funeral cortege then proceeded to St. Luke’s Church at Camden East.  During the service, three favourite hymns of the deceased were sung.  “On the Resurrection Morning”, “Abide With Me” and “How Sweet the Hour of Closing Day.”  After a brief but impressive sermon on the hope and promise of the life immortal, interment was made in the cemetery of St. Luke’s where her parents, grandparents and so many of her friends rest.  “May light eternal shine upon her with Thy Saints, O Lord, forever.”

 

MRS. THOMAS CAMERON -

NEWBURGH -  Mrs. Thomas Cameron, one of the oldest residents of the village passed away on Thursday morning in her 90th year.  She had been ill for about one week.  She leaves to mourn her loss three sons, Edward and Archie Graham of Newburg, and J. H. Cameron, B.A., of Windsor, and two daughters, Mrs. Robert Dowdle and Mrs. William Dowdle of Camden as well as a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She was twice married.

Following a brief service at the home on Saturday the remains were taken to St. Luke’s Church, Camden East, where a public service was held, which was conducted by Rev. Canon R. W. Spancer.  At the service at the house, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Wartman of Napanee sang very feelingly “Does Jesus Care?”

The casket was laden with beautiful floral tributes and interment was made in St. Luke’s cemetery.  The pall-bearers were six grandson, Percy, James, Archie, Walter, Albert and Harvey Dowdle.

FOUND DEAD IN BED - John R. Cameron Was a Popular Journalist -

Hamilton, Ont., Dec. 30 - John R. Cameron, editor of the Hamilton Spectator, and one of the best known journalists in Canada, died, very suddenly during the night, at his home in East Flamboro.  It may be said of him that he died in harness for while he had not been in the best of health for some time he was in his office right up to noon on Saturday.  On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Cameron consulted his doctor who advised him to take a few holidays, as he appeared to be run down, but even then it was not thought that his condition was serious.  He was able to be about yesterday and last evening retired about the usual hour.  This morning he was found dead in bed.

John Robson Cameron was born in Lanark county, April 19th, 1845.  He learned his trade as a printer in Seaforth and afterwards moved to Sarnia where he worked on the Canadian, subsequently going to Detroit, where he worked for the Free Press.  When the call came for volunteers for the Red River expedition Mr. Cameron was one of the first to offer and was made color-sergeant of his regiment.  He went through the expedition under Wolseley, and afterwards settled in Winnipeg, where he was foreman on the Free Press.  He served as an alderman in Winnipeg for a couple of years and afterward went south and worked on a number of American papers.  When he returned to Canada he worked for a time on Stratford and Guelph papers and twenty-seven years ago he came to Hamilton as city editor of the Spectator.  Later he became managing editor and for the past fourteen years had been chief editor.  Mr. Cameron was known in newspaper circles as one of the brightest paragraphers in Canada and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.  a widow and four daughters survive.

Malcolm

 

HON. MALCOLM CAMERON - Amongst the names which, in Canada, will ever be inseparably connected with the Temperance movement, is that of the late Hon. Malcolm Cameron, whose death was announced a few days ago.  His life, which extended for over a period of sixty-eight years was ever an eventful one, his strong will and impulsive temperament often bringing him into situations sometimes more peculiar than pleasant.  His father was the late Mr. Angus Cameron, for sometime Hospital Sergeant of a Canadian regiment, which was disbanded in 1816, when Mr. Cameron, with his son, the prospective Minister of the State - who eight years previously had been born in Three Rivers - removed to the settlement of Perth, where he opened a house of entertainment, and as a landlord, gained a county-wide reputation. His wife carefully watched over her son, and not only cautioned him against the use of intoxicating drinks, but prevented him from obtaining any when under her jurisdiction. The effect of this watchful care and teaching may be seen in the son’s career, when the temptation to drink must have been almost impossible for any one unless educated as he was to withstand.  When twelve years old he commenced farming on a small scale, and kept the ferry at the Mississippi River, ten miles back from the Village of Perth.  Here his companions were stern, uncompromising Radicals, emigrants from Scotland who imbued the boy’s mind with those principles which ever afterwards had great influence informing his course in life.  His father died in 1822, and young Malcolm being offered a situation in a store in Laprairie removed there the following year.  But his master was one who could not guide a youth such as he had under his control;  a “Radical” imbued with the spirit of those bearing that name from Scotland could not consent to be tyrannized over, and the young man on a bitter cold day in 1821 started off and walked nine miles to this city, which he reached with both cheeks frozen.  Having no money he hired himself out as stable boy to a man named Martin in the Haymarket, where he saved money enough to pay his stage fare home.  His mother was then keeping a boarding house in the town of Perth, and he remained with her during the winter, occupying the time by attendance at the District school.  In the spring he was employed in the brewery and distillery of Hon. A. Graham, where he remained four years, never once deviating from his practice of total abstinence from all that intoxicates.  He spent much of his time during this four years in study, and it may be stated as an evidence of his literary taste, that the first money he saved was sent to England to purchase Hume, Smollet and Lloyd.  He was a voracious reader, and may have been said to have read through every house in the village.  In 1828 he entered into partnership with his brother-in-law, but soon separated, and then went to Scotland, where he entered into a life long partnership with his cousin, Miss Christiana McGregor daughter of Robert McGregor, Esq., cotton spinner, Glasgow.  He was very popular in his county, and in 1836 was elected to Parliament for Lanark, in opposition to Sir Francis Bond Head’s candidate.  He was a strong advocate of the union of the Provinces.  In 1841, he was offered the office of Inspector-General by Lord Sydenham, but declined.  He accepted the office of inspector of Revenue during the administration of Sir Charles Bagot, and subsequently in the Lafontaine-Baldwin and Hincks-Morin administrations held the offices of Assistant Commissioner of Public Works, President of the Executive council, Minister of Agriculture, and Postmaster General;  he was also a Government director of the Grand Trunk Railway, which was under construction.  He held the office of Queen’s Printer of Canada from 1863 to 1869.  In the latter year he resigned to contest South Renfrew for the Commons.  He was defeated, however, as also in 1871, when he contested Russell for the Ontario Legislature, and in the following year when he contested Russell for the House of Commons.  In 1874 he was elected for South Ontario, defeating Hon. T. N. Gibbs.  Hon. Malcolm was a strong, forcible speaker, and was never at fault in adapting himself to any audience which he had to address.  the term “Clear Grit” which has clung so closely to the Reform party, was adopted from the remark in a speech of his “They call us gritty - yes we are, and clear grit at that.”  As an advocate of total prohibition, Mr. Cameron was straightforward and unflinching, and on the platform or in the council of the Sons of Temperance or the Prohibitory League, his words were listened to with careful attention, and his counsel followed.

DEATH OF ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, ESQ.

Never perhaps in the history of our Village did the records of mortality fill up so rapidly as for the last few days.  Another prominent man has fallen, and is numbered with those who were, but are not.  Mr. Campbell, the Postmaster of our Village, and owner of the Campbell House expired on the evening of Thursday last, after a short but painful illness, thus following closely upon the lamented David Roblin, Esq.  Two prominent men, who grew up together, and mingled in many an exciting struggle in political life, are thus almost in a day removed from our midst and consigned to the earth.  An impressive warning this, and eminently calculated to moderate our worldly cares and lead us to think of, and prepare for the boundless future.

Mr. Campbell was born in Adolphustown, in April of 1803, and was consequently at the time of his death nearly 60 years of age.  His grandfather and father were U. E. Loyalists and were amongst the first settlers in this county.  Mr. Campbell was a Surveyor by profession, but for a number of years past had been in mercantile business in Napanee.  He succeeded A. McPherson, Esq., as Postmaster of our Village, and had held that office for several years.  He also held other minor offices in the gift of the Government, and of the Municipality.  Mr. Campbell was for some time proprietor and editor of this paper, and had some reputation as a public journalist.  More than once he was amongst those who were likely candidates for Parliamentary honors, but he never stood at an election.  For many years he was a staunch supporter of the Reform party, but in 1836, judging that they were going too far, he left them and ever after held himself to be a Conservative, but notwithstanding supported Mr. Roblin in his two last contests.  Mr. Campbell, in religious attachments was an Episcopalian.  He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his loss.  He was buried in the Methodist Cemetery on Saturday P.M., being followed to his grave by a number of mourning relatives, and a large concourse of friends.  The widow and children have the heartfelt sympathy of the community.

Another shock and thrill of sorrow was felt yesterday, when it became known that Mrs. Campbell, mother of Mrs. (Rev.) A. MacDonald, had passed away to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. Mrs. Campbell was ill only about a week of a trouble resembling indigestion. But her case was not thought to be serious until but a few hours before the end came. Deceased was in her eighty-first year. Mrs. Campbell’s maiden name was Jane Ham, daughter of the late Peter Ham, of Bath, a merchant in the early days of this country. Her girlhood days were spent in Bath and vicinity. She married Rev. John Campbell, M.A. at one time a minister at Nottawasaga, Simcoe county, who preceded her to the grave about thirty years ago. Deceased was a sister of the late John D. Ham, of Napanee. A sister, now living at St. Thomas, but for many years a resident of Camden East, is the only surviving member of the family. Mrs. Campbell was a cousin of T.J. Lockwood of this place. One daughter, Mrs.  (Rev.) A. MacDonald, survives. About seven years ago, shortly after the death of her brother the late John D. Ham, Mrs. Campbell removed to Napanee, to spend the declining years of her life in her native hand. Mrs. Campbell was a lady of very quiet and unassuming manners, with a retiring disposition, beloved by all with whom she became acquainted. In her young days she was a noted beauty and retained all her comeliness and grace of manner with her advancing years. The funeral takes place on Wednesday afternoon, at 2.30 p.m. from the residence of her son-in-law, Rev. A. MacDonald, Thomas street.

MRS. GEORGE C. CAMPBELL -  Whose maiden name was M. A. Murdock, fell asleep in Jesus on the 17th of September 1885.  She was born in Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland, about the year 1828.  She came to Canada with her parents and settled at Sand Point in Ontario.  On the 25th of January, 1847, she was united in marriage to Mr. George C. Campbell, who survives her and as a local preacher, delights in laboring for the Master.  The last thirty years of her life were spent at Forester’s Falls, Ont., at which place she was led to give her heart to the Saviour.  It was during the meetings conducted by Rev. D. Pomeroy that she found peace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and joined the Methodist Church, of which she remained a member until removed to the Church triumphant.  For years before her removal she was greatly afflicted, consequently her attendance at the house of God was very irregular, but her faith failed not, and she could say the best of all is, God is with me.  For some months before her release, at times her reason was almost gone, and she would imagine strange things.  But a few days before her death her former tenderness, patience, kindness, gentleness and joy in the Holy Ghost returned and remained till she passed triumphantly to the better land.  [signed] Wm.

Death of Mr. Canniff

Early Experience in this City - Frontier Military Service - His Public Usefulness

One after another of the pioneers of Canada and the other veterans of 1812 are passing away. Mr. Jonas Canniff, who died at the residence of his son, Dr. Canniff, at Toronto, on Sunday, had passed his 92nd birthday. He was born in Duchess county, N.Y. and came into the wilderness of Upper Canada when four years of age with his father, whose attachment to the British flag led him to undertake the long and tedious journey with his family and household goods in order to make a home on British soil.

The family settled in Adolphustown, and here the father, James Canniff, lived and died at a good old age. In 1815 Jonas moved to his half-constructed log house on the River Moira, near Belleville. Mr. Canniff served faithfully in 1812 as Sergeant in Captain Dorland's Company, raised in Adolphustown, under Colonel Cartwright at Kingston. When the American fleet passed down the bay from Bath with the object of attacking Kingston, he with his Company followed the vessels, which continued to send cannon shot among the militia, until they passed Kingston, not venturing to approach the shore. In 1815 Belleville was not yet named, and was but a small village, and only a few scattered settlers existed in the county of Hastings. Mr. Canniff was one of the pioneers in building saw and grist mills. He was a man of great energy, industry, integrity and Christian principle. After acting as Township Clerk for one year, shortly after the organization of the township of Thurlow, he steadfastly declined to accept any office. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace, but did not qualify. He assisted to organize the first Agricultural Association, but declined the Presidency. His body will be removed to Belleville for burial in the family plot.

 

The funeral of the late Jonas Canniff, father of Dr. Canniff, of Toronto, who died in that city on Sunday, took place on Tuesday in Belleville. He was a native of Adolphustown, but spent most of his life in Belleville. He died at the age of 92 years.

Carr-Harris,

Capt. E. D.

 

Yielded up His Life – For His Country in a Righteous Cause – The Late E. D. Carr-Harris, of Kingston, who was Killed in Battle at Forts in Gulf of Aden.

The news of the death of Capt. E. D. Carr-Harris, formerly of Kingston, who was killed in action during the battle in connection with the capture of the forts at the Gulf of Aden, has cast gloom not only upon the father and surviving brothers of the deceased heroic soldier, but upon a wide circle of friends.  Capt Carr-Harris was the son of Prof. R. Carr-Harris, Mack Street, of this city, and was born at Thurso Quebec.  In 1879 he came to Kingston and received a splendid education.  After graduating from high school, the late Capt. Carr-Harris took a two years course at Queen’s university and later entered the Royal Military College.  At this widely known military training college he achieved the highest honors that could possibly be won and graduated from the same in June, 1899.  His class was last that took the four year course, the period being changed to three years after the conclusion of this graduating session.  Capt. Carr-Harris was considered on of the cleverest students who ever went through the R.M.C., and was instrumental in taking the most prizes ever awarded a graduate.  He took the award of honor, held the battalion sergeant majorship, won the class prize and was captain of the football team.  Upon graduating he won those badges for such merit as the “star”, for being first in class marks, the “crown” for being first in five or more subjects;  “crossed rifles” , “crossed guns”, “crossed swords”, “crossed flags”, also “crossed spurs” for distinction in all subjects.  After graduating, Captain Carr-Harris accepted a commission in the Royal Engineers and joined the depot at Chatham England, being at this place for only nine months instead of the usual period of two years, before being sent on active service.  The late Captain Carr-Harris’ duties first brought him into distinction during the Boxer uprising in China.  Several years intervened, during which time the deceased reached a high stage of proficiency, after which between the years 1908 and 1912 he was the Royal Engineer in charge of construction of the so called “Broker Road” from the frontiers of India through the zone of independent states reaching almost as far as the frontiers of Afghanistan.  This road had often been attempted, but never completed until 1912  by the British government.  Recognition was then forthcoming for his valuable services, and he was nominated by selection to the India Staff College at Quetta by the commander-in-chief of the Indian army, then Sir O’Moore Creagh.  Captain Carr-Harris completed his two years course at the staff college at the beginning of last October and was dispatched as immediate field engineer.  In such a service the already distinguished soldier was recently sent forward, sailing from Bombay with the great expeditionary force which was successful in capturing the Turkish forts and positions at the mouth to the Gulf of  Aden.  Captain Carr-Harris’ able engineering was duly responsible for this wonderful achievement, but in the execution of it the noble officer lost his life.  When he was interviewed on Monday evening, the father of the heroic officer said; “It was better for my son to die in a noble cause than for the British race and empire to be destroyed by the internal spirit by which Germany seems to be actuated.”  Capt. Carr-Harris is the first Kingston soldier to give his life for his country and empire in this great war.

The Late John Carrington

John Carrington, born June 28th 1816, died Sunday, august 31st, 1902. Mr. Carrington was born in Summersetshire, England. At the age of twenty he came to Canada settling in Picton. In the year 1838 he married Miss Elizabeth Hazlett of Camblin. To them one son was born, namely Joseph Carrington, of Kingston. For many years he owned a tannery in Picton, where he has always been known and respected for his honest dealings, noble character and his many kindnesses to the poor and needy. He was one of the few men who have kind words for all. Later he went to Gananoque where he was also very successful and well liked. In the year 1884 he had occasion to mourn the death of his wife, Elizabeth Carrington. Two years later he sold out his business in Picton to his son who removed it to Kinston, where it has flourished ever since. He then retired from business and married his present wife, who was Miss Lettie Young, of Gretna, North Fredericksburgh, and who has tenderly watched and cared for him in his last suffering. In April of this year he complained of loss of appetite and weakness, and later it was known that tumor of the stomach was the trouble, and that his case was hopeless. For weeks he bore his suffering with great fortitude, never complaining, and trying to make it as easy as he could for his wife who so patiently and watchfully looked after his comfort night and day. His peace was with God and he was always delighted to have the minister pray for and with him. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, his son, two granddaughters and the family of the late William Carrington of Consecon. With these exceptions he has no relatives in this country. His many tenants and friends of this town mourn the loss of a good landlord and noble friend. Interment took place in Glenwood cemetery.

Davis & Son.  He was known all over the district, and held the respect of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.  Deceased is survived by his wife, formerly Adelaide Victoria, youngest daughter of J.

PASSING OF T. G. CARSCALLEN, ESQ. M.L.A. - On Thursday morning March 15th 1917, the whole community, without regard to class or party, was shocked by the announcement of the passing of Thomas G. Carscallen, Esq., representative of the Riding of Lennox in the Legislature of the Province of Ontario. He had been in attendance at the Legislature since the opening of the Session, and as was his custom, returned home on Friday evening last. The same night he was taken ill, and his physician pronounced it an extremely serious case of pneumonia. Other physicians were called in consultation and for a time it was hoped he would throw off the disease. The interest of his fellow citizens was shown in hundreds of anxious enquiries. On Wednesday it was apparent that exhaustion had been reached and at the break of the new day he passed peacefully and resignedly to rest. Mr. Carscallen was probably the most generally known resident of the County and especially of the Riding of Lennox, which he represented so long and so worthily. He had a record that few public men could boast of - that he was never beaten at the polls. As a lifelong and consistent Conservative, he enjoyed the confidence of the party locally as well as of the Leaders, but it was largely his personal popularity and a universal esteem for his upright life and his commercial integrity that drew to him the continuous support of the best element of the community. His passing calls forth regrets from all who knew him without regard to special standing, greed or politics. Mr. Carscallen's was an eminently useful life in a practical way. The community in which he lived, and the Province he served, are all better for his life's work, and his passing was "peace with honor" in the highest sense. Thomas G. Carscallen was a son of the late Isaac Carscallen, during his life, one of the most respected residents of North Fredericksburgh. Three brothers survive him, John D. whose active life was as a farmer on the homestead, two miles southwest of Napanee, but who has latterly been associated with the deceased in the undertaking business. Two brothers, Rufus and Norris, live at Dresden, Ontario. The early business career of the deceased was as a contracting painter and paperhanger, but about thirty years ago, he established an undertaking business, for which purpose he graduated from the best instructors of the day. In all his business undertakings, he enjoyed the confidence and support of the public. Forty-four years ago, Mr. Carscallen married Melinda, daughter of the late Alex. Mair. They were blessed with only one child, a daughter who lived but three months. Reciprocal devotion to each other made their social associations and their home life beautiful. Mrs. Carscallen predeceased her husband by only eleven months, and since this bereavement, his friends have remarked that his was a stricken life. For him in passing there was no moaning at the bar, only a joyous reunion in the harbor beyond. It was as a public man that Mr. Carscallen was best and most widely known. He first entered public life as a member of the municipal council of Napanee, in which he held a seat for seventeen years, five as Councillor, eight as Reeve, and four years as Mayor. He was also Warden of the County for one year. It was generally recognized that he was one of the most practical and efficient municipal representatives the town ever had. Mr. Carscallen was first elected to the Legislature in 1902, and was again returned at every election since, representing his native riding for nearly 15 successive years. He exercised a quiet but unusually strong influence in the Legislature and the administrative departments and this was always available to supporter and opponent alike. Few men possessed so fully the confidence of his associates and the esteem of his fellow citizens. Mr. Carscallen was born April 9th 1843. The funeral will be held privately on Saturday at 1 o'clock at the family residence and at Trinity Methodist Church at 2 o'clock.

THE LATE FRANK CARSON - The death occurred on Wednesday afternoon of one of Napanee’s well-known citizens, Mr. Frank Carson, after an illness of but a few days.  Deceased was taken ill on Saturday July 24th, the cause being later diagnosed as appendicitis. The following Saturday, an operation was successfully performed by Dr. Mundell of Kingston but complications set in, ending in death.  The subject of this sketch was born in South Napanee on February 28th, 1874, being a son of the late John and Hester Carson.  He was educated in our local schools and at an early age entered the shop of his father to learn the harness-making business, where he has employed his time ever since.  On the death of his father in 1903, the care and management of the business fell upon his shoulders and to his credit be it said that he made it a success.  In 1906, he was married to Miss Nora Lake, who survives him.  Like his father, Frank always took an active interest in affairs pertaining to the welfare of the town.  In 1912, he offered his services as Councillor, and was elected as he also was in 1913, 1914 and 1915, last year occupying the responsible position of Finance Minister.  Deceased was a prominent member of Argyll Lodge No. 212  I.O.O.F., in which he took an active interest having occupied every office in the gift of his brethren.  He was also closely and actively associated with Trinity Methodist Church, in the Sunday School, and for a number of years was a member of the choir.  In the death of Frank, the Church and State loses a valuable member and citizen, who deeply regret his early death.  Besides his wife, he leaves two brothers and one sister, Mr. James Carson, of DeKalb Junction, N.Y.;  Wm. J. Carson of Killarney, Man., and Mrs. Mark Graham, Napanee.  The funeral will take place from his late residence, Newburgh Road this (Friday) afternoon at 2 o’clock.  Service at the house, thence to Riverside Cemetery.

OBITUARY – MRS. THOS. W. CASEY – Mrs. Anne Empey Casey, widow of the late Thos. W. Casey, died at her home on Piety Hill, May 19, 1919, in her eighty-sixth year.  Mrs. Casey was born at Empey Hill on the 29th of March, 1834.  She was the second and last surviving daughter of Fletcher Empey and Charlotte Long, who both died when their children were young. The eldest, Mahala, became the wife of Thos. McGreer and Martha, the youngest, married the late Rev. James Thompson.  Mrs. Casey is survived by her son, Willet F. Casey, of Boston;  Mrs. A. R. Davis, Toronto;  Miss Nellie, of Troy, N.Y.; the Misses Annie and Dora at home and two grandchildren, Eleanor and Gordon Davis.  Mrs. Casey’s paternal great grandfather belonged to the original Methodist society formed by John Wesley in Ireland.  An obituary notice of her grandfather states:  “In 1788 he emigrated to the State of New York and became the means of introducing Methodism in a new settlement not far from noted Ash Grove.  Afterwards he became a resident in the Township of Richmond, Upper Canada and his dwelling soon became a preaching house, and to many, the place of their conversion.”  Mrs. Casey thus came naturally to her Methodist inheritance, and for many years her devotion to her church and unswerving faith in the religion of her forefathers made her a strong influence in the religious life of her generation.  In 1866 a woman’s class was formed in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, Napanee after a revival held by Dr. Meacham, and of this she became and continued leader for nearly forty years.  She was also active in other departments of the church work, where her deep spiritual life was a benefit and blessing to all who came in contact with her.  During her declining years she was relieved of all care by her faithful daughters, Anna and Dora, and thus was enabled to enjoy a good old age.  As a friend remarked, her passing was a beautiful sunset to a beautiful life.

Miss Dora F. Casey

Miss Dora Farley Casey, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Casey, the last member of one of the oldest and best known families of the town of Napanee, died on Monday, August 3, at her home, on Piety Hill.

Miss Casey, who was in her 92nd year, was the youngest member of the family of Mr. and Mrs. T.W. Casey, both of whom were descendants of United Empire Loyalists. She was born in Napanee and had lived practically all her lifetime in the home where she died. She had been confined to her bed for the past two and a half years, following a fall the day after the funeral of her sister, Miss Nellie Casey, in February of 1957. Throughout her long illness she had been given faithful care by her companion and housekeeper, Miss Edna Graham and by capable nurses.

In her younger days Miss Casey was a teacher, graduating from the Napanee Collegiate and Model School. Early in life her hearing became impaired and after teaching for nearly 20 years at Riverside School, near Napanee, she retired in September of 1918 because of increasing deafness. She had previously taught for several years in various schools in the county.

Despite almost total deafness for the greater part of her life, Miss Casey had kept abreast of the times by her interest in people and current events as well as by the reading of good literature. As a result her mind remained active and keen and her many friends found her an interesting personality.

Possibly her greatest interest was her church and its activities. She was a lifelong member of Trinity United Church, and, in spite of her handicap, had attended church services, meetings of the Women's Missionary Society, the Woman's Association and other social events in the church and the town until failing health prevented. She was also a member for many years, of the Imperial of the Women's Missionary Order Daughters of the Empire.

Miss Casey was predeceased by her parents many years ago and by three sisters and a brother; Miss Anna Casey, Miss Nellie Casey, Mrs. A.R. Davis and Willet Casey. She is survived by one niece, Miss Eleanor Davis, of Whitby and by several cousins.

Her funeral was conducted at the Wartman Funeral Home on Wednesday afternoon, August 5, by Rev. W.B. Thorneloe, of Grace United Church, in the absence of Rev. W.K. Pace, minister of Trinity Church. Burial was in the family plot in Riverside Cemetery. the pall-bearers were four cousins, W.R. McGreer, Harold McGreer and Robert McGreer, of Napanee; George Carson, Kingston and Jack Caldwell and Limbert Graham, of Napanee.

In his address at the funeral service, Rev. Mr. Thorneloe paid tribute to Miss Casey's fine Christian character, made evident by her devotion to her church, her belief in God's goodness and care and her generous support of all worthy causes.

Out of town friends who attended the funeral, included Mr. and Mrs. George Carson, Mrs. Ernest Dawson and Dr. Arrin Carson, of Kingston; Miss Hazel Farley and Worden Farley, of Trenton, and Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Davis and Miss Lillian Carr, of Adolphustown.

Late H.W. Casey

He Died on Monday After a Long Illness

The late Hiram W. Casey, whose death occurred at his residence on Brock street on Monday evening, was of thorough UE Loyalist stock. His grandparents were William Casey, Adolphustown, and Andrew Johnson [Jackson], Hallowell, both of whom were of the first UE Loyalist pioneers in these townships. He was born in Adolphustown sixty-nine years ago. After spending his early years in his native township, he resided for a time in Newburgh and then Napanee. Some years ago, he removed to Kingston where he has since resided. For years he has been troubled with consumption and for the last two years or more he has been almost totally incapacitated because of that disease, and it became evident to himself and his friends that he could not possibly recover. He viewed his end with the full resignation and confidence of a true Christian. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and a regular attendant of the Queen street church here. About forty five years ago, he married Miss Jane Murdoch, of Fredericksburgh, a lady well known and much respected among the Christian workers of this city. She survives him with their two children, Mrs. R.J. Carson, of Brock street and R. O. Casey of the city of Syracuse. He was a man of much intelligence and a great reader. He was an active supporter of the liberal party. Up to almost his last hours he was a constant reader and supporter of the Whig. His interest in the affairs of his country and his church remained active to his last hours.

SAMUEL THORNE CASEY - Passed peacefully away from earth November, 1886. Bro. Casey was born in Adolphustown, Nov. 28th 1807. He was converted at eleven years of age, and joined the Methodist Church, in which he remained an acknowledged member 68 years. He knew the history of Methodism in Canada in its early struggles and triumphs better than most laymen I ever met. He was sound in Methodist theology, and rejoiced in a personal knowledge of justification by faith, and believed in and sought after the growth and maturity of the graces of the Holy Spirit. His sickness was of three years' duration, and the disease of which he died, dropsy. As a wise man he in good time settled all his financial affairs as he wished. As the end drew near he became more spiritual, and at times apparently lost in contemplating his home in heaven, triumphing in the hope of eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. He was three times married, and has left a widow and five children who "mourn not as those who have o hope."  "Follow him as he followed Christ."    H. Williams

THOS. W. CASEY - The Local Historian, Has Joined his Ancestors -  A prominent citizen of our town, and a lifelong resident of this county, Mr. Thomas W. Casey, passed over to the great majority on Friday evening last, after an illness of nearly a year, a stroke of paralysis the day previous hastening the end of a long and trying sickness.  Deceased was a descendant of the U.E. Loyalists who landed on the shores of Adolphustown while it was yet a wilderness, at the close of the American rebellion, loyally preferring to endure loss of property and hardship that they might remain under the old flag.  Those of his family who landed at Adolphustown were his grand uncle, Willet Casey, and his grandfather, Wm. Casey.  They were natives of Providence, R. I., and both were active in the American War, and left for Canada at its close.  They first moved to the western border of Lake Champlain, supposing it was British territory, but finding this was not so when the international boundary was finally settled, they left for Upper Canada.  Willet Casey died in 1848, aged 86 years.  William Casey, deceased’s grandfather, died in 1842, aged 81 years.  They were progressive men.  Willet Casey erected the first iron foundry in the district, probably near “Carnahan Bay,” in the 2d Con. of Adolphustown, and is said to have cast the first iron mouldboard plows, known to be made in the province.  He was also elected to Parliament in about 18-1 and sat for a few years.  Later on his son Samuel, was elected to that position, and in still later years his grandson, Dr. Willet Casey, was elected for Prince Edward County.  William Casey, grandfather of deceased, erected the first wool-carding mill, located at first at Lake-on-the-Mountain, now Glenora, early in the century.  Deceased was a son of the late Willet Casey, and inherited his father’s beautiful farm at Casey’s Point, at the mouth of Hay Bay.  He was educated at Victoria University, Cobourg, and early acquired literary tastes which drew him away from farming pursuits, and into the newspaper world.  In 1874, he purchased the Napanee Express, and later assumed the Editorship of the Canada Casket, the organ of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and Grand Secretary for a number of years.  He was a life long total abstainer, and was known from Sarnia to Halifax as a fluent and earnest temperance worker and lecturer.  He was also appointed a provincial inspector  by Hon. Oliver Mowat at the time of Dunkin Act and Scott Act campaigns, and was a conscientious and fearless worker in a cause which lay near to his heart.  Perhaps the late Thos. W. Casey is better known to a large number of people in Canada and the United States, through his researches into the history of the United Empire Loyalists, and his “Old time records,” which were for years, a feature of the Beaver, and which he edited.  He knew the history of his loyal ancestors and his native Townships perhaps better than any man now living, and was consulted from far and near when the tangled skein of family history needed unravelling.  Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, was a close student of Mr. Casey, and consulted him frequently in his work of compiling the early history of our province.  Mr. Casey’s ancestors were amongst the first Methodists in  this  the cradle of Methodism, and deceased was a faithful adherent of the Eastern church.  No man will be more missed about town and county than the late Thos. W. Casey.  His genial smile and kindly interest in all made him particularly welcome wherever he went, and it will be many a day, and perhaps never, before one will rise up who will study and place on record the early history and heroic deeds of our forefathers.  Mr. Casey was a life long, but broad minded member of the  Reform Party, and was at one time a candidate for the local legislature, being defeated by the late Hon. John Stevenson in a three-cornered fight, in which the late Benj. C. Davy was a candidate.  Besides his bereaved and faithful wife, he leaves one son, Mr. Willet F. Casey, of Boston, Mass., and four daughters, Mrs. A. R. Davis, Brandon, Man.; Miss Nellie, Troy, N.Y., and Misses Anna and Dora at home.  The funeral services were conducted at his home on Monday afternoon, by Rev. C. E. McIntyre, who spoke feelingly and eloquently of the good qualities and sterling goodness of the deceased. The remains were afterwards interred in the Eastern cemetery.  Amongst the relatives from a distance in attendance were his cousins, Dr. John Farley, Belleville;  Wm Farley, Brighton;  Col. Farley, Quebec City;  Charles Farley, Belleville;  Albert Anderson, Rossmore, and Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Carson, Kingston.

 

The angel of death has been amongst us again and this time summoned home the spirit of T.W. Casey, to be forever with the Lord. The death occurred yesterday at 5:30 p.m. The deceased had been confined to the house since early last fall, but on Thursday morning suffered a stroke of paralysis and passed away without regaining consciousness. The deceased was born in Adolphustown sixty-nine years ago, a descendant of the U.E. Loyalists who settled in that district after the war of 1783. He lived all his long, active life in this district and was known far and wide by his clever writings about the early history and the old settlers in the district. He was able to write his “old time records” until last fall. A family of five children, besides his widow, survive. They are Willet F. Casey, Dorchester, Mass.; Alice, Mrs. A.R. Davis, Brandon, Man.; Dora, Rochester; Nellie and Annie at home. Mrs. Casey and Miss Nellie are both confined to their rooms, suffering with la grippe. The sympathy of the town goes out to the sorrowing ones in their sad bereavement. The funeral will be announced later. The deceased was known throughout the whole province, as a staunch advocate of temperance and spoke at meetings in the cause wherever an opportunity presented itself.

A. W. Caton Dies at Grimsby

The death occurred at Grimsby, Ontario, on Saturday, November 19, of Archibald Wesley Caton, a former well-known resident of Napanee and Newburgh.  His funeral was held at his late residence in Grimsby and interment was made at Newburgh cemetery on Tuesday afternoon.

The late Mr. Caton was born a little over eighty years ago at Newburgh and was a son of the late Allan Caton, druggist of the village.  His youth and young manhood were spent in Newburgh and after his marriage to Hattie Lloyd, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Lloyd of the Newburgh Road, he took up farming north of Napanee.   For some years, at a later period, he lived in Montreal and Cleveland, where he was a representative of an American fish company.  Some time later he and his wife returned to the Lloyd farm about three miles from Napanee, where Mr. Caton conducted a dairy farm.  His herd of Jerseys was well known throughout Ontario, and Mr. Caton’s progressive ideas brought him considerable success in his farming.

After farming for a number of years, Mr. and Mrs. Caton brought the Finkle home in Newburgh, where they lived until Mrs. Caton’s death, over ten years ago.  A few years ago, Mr. Caton married Mary A. Meeks of Grimsby and lived in Grimsby until his death .  His only son, Morris Caton, died in New York about three years ago, leaving a son and a daughter, who reside in the United States.

Death of Arthur Chalmers

On the morning of August 9th, at the home of his cousin, Thomas Chalmers, where he was visiting when his last sickness attacked him, died Arthur Chalmers, youngest son of Mrs. Wm. Chalmers, of Parma. Though of delicate health for a year or so, and his last illness was very severe, yet death's swift approach was hardly suspected. His short life has been a most innocent one, and withal a useful one. He was a very constant worshipper and regular communicant in St. Alban's Church, Adolphustown, and with his fine bass voice assisted very effectively in the choir work of the church. It seemed that he could ill be spared. But the fiat had gone forth, "The Lord hath need of him." After only nineteen years of life on earth, the Lord has called him to the higher service in His Paradise. The burial service was held August 11th in his old home at Parma, on account of his mother's weak condition, the consequence of constant nursing, the interment being in the family plot of St. Alban's Church yard. The vast number who attended the service showed, very clearly, general esteem for the deceased, as well as tender sympathy with his sorrowing mother, brothers and sisters.

Capt. James

 

The sad news reached town yesterday of the death of Capt. Chalmers, of Adolphustown village, father of reeve Chalmers. Last Friday while he was unlading grain in the barn something went wrong with the fork, and it broke striking him on the side. He lingered until yesterday morning. Deceased was well and popularly known in Adolphustown, having been a captain on the lakes for a number of years and was respected by all who knew him.

 

Death of Capt. Chalmers

Captain James Chalmers, one of the most respected and best known farmers in Adolphustown died at his residence on Monday evening last under particularly sad and painful circumstances. We are informed that on Friday of last week he was assisting to unload some grain with a horse fork when a rope broke, in consequence of which he was struck so violently in the side by a whiffle-tree that he died on Monday, having suffered greatly in the meantime. He was born in Ireland, being a relative, we believe, of the celebrated Rev. Dr. Chalmers, of Scotland. The family, consisting then of the parents and six children, came to Canada about forty years ago and settled in this section. He followed sailing in his earlier years and was captain of some lake vessels. About twenty years ago he purchased the old Casey homestead in the front of Adolphustown, where he has ever since resided. He was a successful farmer, an excellent neighbor and was highly respected by all as an honorable and upright citizen.

The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at St. Alban's church, Adolphustown, of which he was for many years an honored and consistent member. It was very largely attended, citizens of all creeds and classes, from all parts of the township and surrounding country were present to pay their last tribute of respect to one whom they all held in high esteem during his life.

He was the father of Mr. Frank Chalmers, Reeve of Adolphustown, and of Walter Chalmers, who is with his brother in the store and post office in that place. Another son was a graduate of the Royal Military College at Kingston, and is now connected with the Mounted Police in the North West. There are also two unmarried daughters at home, and a son in California, who is a successful farmer.

Within a few years five members of this family have died, all of whom were well known and highly respected by many readers of THE BEAVER. Mr. Thomas Chalmers died quite suddenly a few years ago on his farm in Adolphustown. He was unmarried. Later his brother, Peter, with whom he was in partnership, died on the same farm, leaving a large family, and now James has followed. Mrs. Charles Drury, a sister, and recently her husband, residents of the township north of Hay Bay, have both died. Also a married sister, residing in North Hastings. All that now remains of a large and healthy family of a few years ago, is Mr. William Chalmers, a well known farmer residing near Parma.

The Late Peter Chalmers, Adolphustown

The announcement of the death of Peter Chalmers, of pneumonia, on Feb. 6th, at the age of sixty-two years, was received with profound regret throughout a large section of the surrounding country, for no man has ever been better loved and more highly esteemed for his public and private virtues by the community in which he lived than he. He was a native of Ireland, having been born in the county of Wicklow on the 24th Dec., 1831. With his parents and brothers and sisters he came to Canada in the year 1849. In the year 1868 he married Jane Russell, daughter of Thos. Russell, of North Fredericksburgh, and settled upon the picturesque spot at the head of Carnahan bay, in Adolphustown, which has been his home ever since; and where he has brought up his family of seven children, six of whom; one son and five daughters, survive to mourn with their stricken mother their irreparable loss. His property, the fruits of his honourable toil, consists of two hundred acres of arable land, upon which only two years ago he erected a fine residence. He was a member of the Church of England, and in politics was a staunch conservative. The funeral of the deceased took place on Thursday, 8th inst., and was the occasion of an immense gathering of friends and acquaintances. The service was held in St. Alban's Memorial church by the Rev. R.S. Forneri, who preached the funeral sermon, taking his text from Luke XII-10. "We are all mourners here this morning," said the preacher, "a life of practical godliness, a life that proclaimed by every act that our departed brother was a true follower of God, has come to a premature end. The wise and loving husband and father, the staunch friend, the high-minded citizen, the earnest churchman, the diligent worker - Peter Chalmers, with his open hand and big heart, has passed from our sight, but never from our love or our memory. The empty place in the home can only be filled by Him that has made it empty. Every member of this church must feel with me (continued the preacher) that a strong stay has gone from us. A wider circle, for whom I may presume to speak, mourn the loss of a dear friend, a still wider one, represented by all here present from near and far, feel an affectionate and earnest sympathy with the stricken hearts in the mourners' pew to-day." Later on in the discourse the preacher dwelt more particularly upon the character of the departed, and showed how "to live the life of practical christianity was the end of his desire and of his deed.

 

History of the Chalmers - The Story of the Ancestry of the Family Shortly Presented -

With reference to the obituary notice of the late Peter Chalmers, of Adolphustown, which appeared in our issue of 17th Feb., a relative of his in Scotland writes to us as follows:

   "You describe Peter Chalmers as a native of Ireland, which is true in the sense that a man is said to be a native of the country in which he was born. His father, Peter Chalmers, was a native of the parish of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland, who lived in Ireland for a few years before settling in Canada. His father, James Chalmers, was a farmer in Mains of Mause in Blairgowrie parish, whose wife's name was Margaret McGlashan. They had eleven children of whom Peters was the eldest. They belonged to a race of sterling worth, long settled in the parish. There has always been one or more of them elders in the Kirk session of Blairgowrie since the reformation. The above James Chalmers' father, William, was ordained to the eldership in 1759, and his father, James (Cauldhame) in 1715. He was the James Chalmers mentioned in the famous story of "The Chalet o'Mause (1730) which was seen by a man named Soutar. The Chalmers' traced their descent from Thomas de Camera, of Drumloughlie parish of Blairgowrie, who received a charter of the lands of Drumlouchie from King Robert the Bruce" (See p. 18 No. 90, Robertson's Index of Charters.)

Thomas Herbert

 

Thomas Herbert Chalmers died suddenly at his home on the Trent Road, Sidney Township, on Saturday, Oct 15. He was apparently in good health when taken with a heart seizure and died immediately.

To many friends, the sudden death of Mr. Chalmers will bring sincere regret. He was widely known in Belleville and throughout the district and was highly esteemed. For many years he was engaged in the farm implement agency business in Belleville as representative for the Frost and Wood Company of Smiths Falls. For a time the business was known as Chalmers and Hollis; later a change was made and the firm became Chalmers and Hubbs. This arrangement was dissolved in 1930 and from that time until 1932 when he retired, he conducted the business alone. In every respect he was a good citizen; he resided in Belleville and in the vicinity since 1914.

The late Mr. Chalmers, who was in his 74th year, was born at Adolphustown, Lennox County, his parents being the late Mr. and Mrs. William Chalmers. During his residence in Belleville he was a faithful member of St. Thomas' Anglican Church and served at one time as a warden and also as a representative to the diocesan Synod. Fraternally he was a life member of Prince Edward Lodge No. 18 A.F. & A.M.

Mr. Chalmers was twice married, his first wife was Margaret David; she died in 1945 and a year ago last May he married Mabel Roblin, who survives him, together with a son, Mr. Gordon Chalmers, Trent Road.

Obituary - Wm. Chalmers

Death of the last of a large family.

St. Alban's church, Adolphustown, was filled an many had to remain outside on Monday last, the occasion being the funeral of the late William Chalmers, of South Fredericksburgh, who died very suddenly on Friday last. Deceased had been enjoying the best of health for some weeks, even better than he had previously been, was jovial and able to do work upon the farm. He retired about ten o'clock and before he had gone to sleep felt a distress in his throat, got up and sat in a chair and asked from a drink of water. He said he believed he was going, which were the last words he said that could be understood. He shook his wife's  hand and tried to speak but could not and passed away in a few minutes. Dr. Northmore was telephoned for but before he could arrive he had passed away from the earth to join a son and three brothers and two sisters who had gone before, all but one having died within the last few years, making a death each year for '93, '94,'95,'96. He leaves a fine family of five boys and four girls, and their mother and many friends to mourn his loss. Peter Chalmers, the father of this family, moved from Scotland to Ireland when a young man, and followed the calling of land steward there. He married and raised a family of four boys and two girls, living in the counties of Wicklow and Carlo. About forty-eight years ago the family moved to Canada. The direct object in view was the taking of a farm to work belonging to the father's brother, who was then lock master near Montreal or Ottawa and teaching his son the business, but just the night before they arrived this brother died; thus they changed their course and went to Toronto, thinking of taking up a farm in the wooded condition and clearing it. But one son, James, having a letter to Major Boucher at Kingston, said he would take the letter to him and perchance something else might turn up. Major Boucher went to the mayor of the city and he offered to give the young man a position on the police force, but he declined, saying he would not like the work; his business was farming. He was then given a letter to a Church of England minister in Adolphustown, who in those days made their living out of farms belonging to the parish. Although he did not get a situation with this gentleman he got work near by, and after attending church service on the following Sunday and seeing the congregation he thought he had come to a good land, and immediately wrote to the rest of the family at Toronto, who in a short time came to him and settled in or near Adolphustown. James Chalmers afterwards sailed on the bay and lakes for seventeen years, after which he took to faming only, at which he worked until his death. The rest of the family all took to farming and have made homes for themselves and families. A singular incident of the family is that they loved to be together and have died within a short space of time. Thomas Chalmers died in 1866, Mrs. Eliza Chalmers Hart died in 1888, Mrs. Margaret Chalmers Drury died in 1893, Peter Chalmers died in 1894, James Chalmers died in 1895, William Chalmers died in 1896, the last four leaving large families.

 

Died Very Suddenly – William Chalmers, of Parma, a South Fredericksburgh farmer, died very suddenly on Friday evening last, after a sickness of but a few hours. His brother, Capt. Chalmers, of Adolphustown, died very suddenly about this time last year. They are the last of a large and respectable family, residents of Adolphustown for many years past.

Chalmers,

Mrs. William

 

Mrs. William Chalmers, Parma, died on March 29th, aged seventy-five years. She was an Anglican and a noble lady. Four sons and four daughters, one, Harry Chalmers, living in Kingston.

 

One of the most highly respected residents of the community, in the person of Mrs. William Chalmers, passed away at her home, Parma, on Saturday, the 29th day of March. The funeral on Monday was largely attended, the burial service being taken by her Clergyman, the Rev. A.S. Dickinson, rector of Adolphustown. Mrs. Chalmers was in her seventy-fifth year and had lived most of her days in the home where she died. Latterly her health had not been all that might be desired, and when stricken with influenza about a month ago, her illness proved fatal. Mrs. Chalmers will be greatly missed by a host of friends to whom she had endeared herself. She was a kind neighbor and a loyal, consistent God fearing church woman. The good influence exerted by her during life will be a lasting tribute to her memory, for it manifests itself in the lives of her sons and daughters who are a creditable, living witness to the wise counsel and careful training of a good Christian mother, who was dearly loved by them all. Mrs. Chalmers leaves to mourn her loss four sons, Harry of Kingston; Herbert, of Belleville; George, of Adolphustown; Albert, at home and four daughters, Mrs. F.B. Roblin, Mrs. Hugh Milling, Mrs. Roy Johnston, and Miss Gertrude, all of whom have the sincere sympathy of their many friends and neighbours in their recent bereavement.

In Memoriam

late Charles Chambers, Fredericksburgh

Charles Chambers, an old and well known resident of North Fredericksburgh, Big Creek, died on July 31st, at the age of eighty-two years. He was born in England, and came with his parents to Fredericksburgh when a boy at some time in the early forties. His father, Philip Chambers, purchased the grist mill built by the late James Fraser, and for many years it was known as Chambers mills. The deceased spent all his life in Fredericksburgh, with the exception of a few years at Deseronto. He was an active and successful farmer, a man of great strength and industry and succeeded in securing a competency for himself and family. Several years ago, he fell into very poor health which compelled him to retire from active business; for the past couple of years he became so paralyzed that he was not able to even feed himself. In that condition he remained until his death. He married Miss Ruth Parks, eldest daughter of the late David Parks, North Fredericksburgh. She survives with three sons and a daughter. The sons are : Draper, of Seattle, Washington territory, George S. on the homestead, Philip, ranching in Montana. The daughter is Mrs. James Burgess, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. The funeral took place Thursday and was very largely attended. The body will be interred in the Napanee cemetery.

Mr. Coleman had to be away on Tuesday, the funeral was held on Monday afternoon.

SAD DEATH AT CHIPPEWA -  One of the saddest deaths ever recorded took place on Dec 14th, when Miss Mary A. Clair passed to her reward.  What the reward was we know not but we do know that Mary was a constant worker of the church and a devoted member of the Sacred Heart.  Deceased had been ailing for some time previous to her death but during her long and weary hours of illness she was never know to complain and was always willing to share her lot however unpleasant it was.  Mary was of an amiable and lively disposition which endeared her to all.  Through life she won many friends, but all the while her young life was nearing its destiny.  What a sadness it was for her dear ones to think that she must be removed from their earthly eyes forevermore, but all was in vain for Mary had to go.  Her funeral which was one of the largest seen in some time, consisted of nearly ninety vehicles, followed the remains to the Roman Catholic Church, Chippewa, where a solemn high mass of requiem was sung by Rev. Father O’Reilly, after which the remains were place in the vault to await interment in the spring.  Her pallbearers were Edward and James Tallon, John and Joseph Dowling and Thomas and Michael Moran.  The sorrowing family have the deepest sympathy of the whole community in their sad hour of bereavement.
