Cadman - At North Fredericksburgh, on
Sunday, April 15th, 1928, William H. Cadman, aged 80 years, 5 months. 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

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.

Cameron, 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. |

Cameron, 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. |

Campbell, Alexander |
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. |

the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Close, and took from their loving care their
beloved and only daughter, Dorothea Campbell, who in thirteen short years had

very early in life, she learned to love His ways and now has gone to be with
Him, to whom she gave her heart. Much sympathy is extended to the sorrowing
parents and friends by the entire community who can but bid them remember
that it is but one more in the chain that binds earth to heaven. The funeral service was conducted by the

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

Campbell, M.A. (nee
Murdock) |
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. Knox. |

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. |

Carrington, John |
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.

of the city, in the person of John Joseph Carrington, who passed away very
suddenly, at his home on River street, about noon. Deceased was sixty-three of age. The late Mr. Carrington was born at Picton,
on October 25th, 1847, and received all his early training and
education here. When quite a young
man, he went into the tanning business, with his father, John Carrington, at
Picton. In 1876, their factory was
burned down, and he and his father then moved to Gananoque, and started a
tannery there. They stayed in
Gananoque until 1884, when they sold out, deceased coming to Kingston, and
establishing the now well-known tannery.
He opened it himself, and although it was a very small beginning, but
soon developed into one of the city’s best industries, in fact it was looked
upon as one of the best tanneries in Ontario.
Deceased conducted this tannery, until six years ago, when he disposed
of it to A. Davis & Son. He was
known all over the district, and held the respect of all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. Deceased is

at 1 p.m. The entire community is in
mourning over his passing. Thirty years ago, Mr. Carscallen took over
the old Sherman property in Tamworth and ten years ago purchased the Thornton
property and rebuilt it. His general

and had machinery installed and operated.
He was formerly located on the site of Mace’s old mill, which was
destroyed by fire. Deceased also had

Limited. Although always a busy business man, Mr.
Carscallen found time to devote to other activities. He was Reeve of Sheffield Township,
director and secretary-treasurer of the Sheffield Cheese Company, and was
also prominent in educational circles.
He was a member of the School Board for many years and it was through
his efforts that the Consolidated School was built in 1911, which is regarded
as one of the finest Continuation schools in Ontario. Mr. Carscallen was also President of the
Redden Telephone Company, and a member of the Official Board of the United
Church at Tamworth. He was also a

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. |

Carson, Frank |
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. |

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Casey, in her 92nd year. Rested at the Wartman Funeral Home,
Napanee, for funeral service on Wednesday, August 5, 1959 at 2:00 p.m. Interment Riverside Cemetery. 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.

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

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,

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. |

A sad death occurred on August 9th

a short illness. Chalmers - At Adolphustown, on Tuesday,
Aug. 9th, 1910, Arthur Chalmers, aged 19 years, 10 months and 3 days. 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. |

Chalmers, 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. "Friend after friend departs, Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, Here doth not find an end." |

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.) CHALMERS - At Adolphustown, Feb. 6th, Peter

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. |

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.

Chinneck, Fred |
Death of Mr. Fred. Chinneck. – One of the
few remaining business men of the early days of Napanee, 50 years ago, passed
away early Sunday morning in the person of Fred Chinneck, at the age of 73
years, after a six months illness. He
was active in his business until last November. This was his first and only illness due no
doubt to his regular and conservative habits of living and fortunately he
suffered no pain during his sickness.
Born in Devonport, Devonshire, England, he came to Ontario a boy of
about 9 years, with his parents, and lived in the County of Wellington till
grown up. He came east to Napanee in
1873, and established the Jewellery business which still bears his name. He was a lifelong Conservative and a member
of the Church of England, and leaves to mourn his loss a son and daughter in
the business here, and daughter, Mrs. Foley, in Medicine Hat, Alta. Owing to the fact that the Rev. Mr. Coleman
had to be away on Tuesday, the funeral was held on Monday afternoon. |
