Hagerman,

Abraham

 

The death of Abe Hagerman, who passed away at the Belleville General Hospital on Saturday, October 31st, has occasioned deep regret among those who knew him.  Mr. Hagerman was seriously injured at the Trenton Airport when he was hit by flying debris caused by the cyclone and he received severe injuries to the head.

The late Mr. Hagerman was born at Bath, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Hagerman who reside on a farm which was deeded to them from the Government.  Going to Oshawa, 13 years ago, Mr. Hagerman was employed on the trim and hardware line of General Motors.  While there he was a member of Cedardale United Church and a member of the choir.  He was also a member of the Independent Order of Forresters and of the Orange Order.  He had a host of friends and a number of relatives in and around the city.  Mr. and Mrs. Hagerman and son Roy moved to Trenton a year ago and he had been employed at the airport ever since.  He was a member of Bayside Church, Trenton and a member of the choir there.  Mrs. Hagerman was at the church the Thursday afternoon when she received word of her husband’s accident.

Besides the bereaved wife, who was formerly Miss Jennie Pinney, daughter of Mrs. Ross Pinney and the late William Pinney, Sharps Corners, he leaves to mourn his loss, one son, Roy;  his parents;  five brothers, Edward of Toronto, Leonard of Oshawa, Alexander, Mountain Grove, John, Bath, Borden, Bath;  two sisters, Mrs. Pearl Kitchen, Huntsville, Lorraine, Bath.

The funeral was held from the family residence, 1st Concession, Sidney Township on Tuesday, November 3rd with service at the house at 1 p.m. to Selby United church for service at 3 p.m.  Rev. James Plant of Bayside assisted by Dr. Smith conducted the service and the choir from Bayside contributed a couple of anthems.  Rev. M. Plant delivered a very comforting message from the text “Blessed is that servant whom, when his Lord cometh, shall find watching,”  and paid a high tribute to the life and character of the deceased.  He also read letters of sympathy received by the family from former pastors, Rev. Mr. McDermid of Cedardale Church, Oshawa, and Rev. T. H. P. Anderson.

At the conclusion of the service, which was one of the largest in the point of attendance held in the church for a number of years, the funeral cortege motored to the cemetery at Camden V. where interment was made. The floral tributes were beautiful and were carried into the church by eight of Roy’s school friends.

 

IN LOVING MEMORY - In loving memory of my dear husband, Abraham a. Hagerman, who passed away on October 31st, 1936 from injuries received by the tornado at the Trenton Airport……Wife and Son, Roy.

HAIGHT - At Lynhurst Hospital on Wednesday March 4 1914, Jane Casey Ingersoll, widow of the late Canniff Haight, in her 87th year. Funeral private on Saturday from the residence of her son, W. H. Haight, 669 Huron Street.

DEATH OF WIDOW OF LATE CANNIFF HAIGHT - WELL KNOWN WRITER ON PIONEER LIFE RECALLED - IN HER 87TH YEAR -- Death came yesterday to Mrs. Canniff Haight, in her eighty-seventh year, at Lyndhurst Hospital, after a comparatively short illness, although she had been somewhat infirm on account of advanced age for some time. The passing of Mrs. Haight recalled the work of her talented husband who perhaps did more to visualize Canadian pioneer life in Ontario than any other single contributor to Canadian literature. His work "Country Life in Canada Fifty Years Ago", written in 1885 and "Here and There in the Home Land - England, Scotland and Ireland - as Seen By a Canadian", written in 1895, are to be found in nearly every Canadian public library. The late Mrs. Haight, like her husband, was a descendant of UE Loyalist stock and was born at Adolphustown, Lennox County in 1826. Although she had lived in Toronto since 1872, many years of her life were spent in Picton, Ont. She married Mr. Haight in Fredericksburgh in 1852 and is survived by four sons, Messrs. W.R. Haight, Toronto; H. H. Haight, Scranton Penn, USA; W. L. Haight, Crown Attorney at Parry Sound and C. P. Haight of Toronto. The interment, which will be private, takes place in St James Cemetery on Saturday from the residence of her son, Mr. W.R. Haight, Huron Street.

Haines,

J. A. (Bert)

 

Pte. J. A. Haines - Pts. Bert Haines was born in Camden Ontario September 25th 1895 and died on the field of Flanders January 5th 1917. 

Pte Haines was of a kind and loving disposition always willing to lend a helping hand and was well liked by young and old of the neighborhood of Anderson, where he lived for the past fifteen years. 

A letter from the Lieut. of his Battalion, M. B. Thornhill, says of him, “That he was unassuming, quiet, always calm and collected while under fire.”  Bert was one of the brave boys, who thought that liberty and freedom were better than life under Prussian rule.  He therefore voluntarily left his father’s home and went to a foreign land to do his bit for King and Country. 

A memorial service was held last Sunday in Anderson Church.  The church was crowded with sympathizing friends and the address given by his Pastor, Rev. W. S. Boyes, B. A., was full of sympathy and patriotism.  It was a masterly address from the text  “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another.” 

He threw his living breast to stem the German tide. 

This volunteer from Canada he fought as veteran tried.

He met the boast of William’s host

He met them hand to hand.

This volunteer of Canada, this boy from our land.

When men come back from war’s grim track

And silent is the gun

I’ll look with pride on him that died

And say he was my son.

Hales,

William

 

WILLIAM HALES (Kingston) - Was born  in Kingston, and on the 19th of last November reached the age of forty-nine.  After lingering for six weeks  with a tumor on the brain, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious, and often in great agony of pain, he slept in the arms of his Redeemer on Saturday, Dec. 18th, 1886;  and having spent many Sabbaths of delight in the Church upon earth, he went to spend the following Sabbath with the “Church triumphant,”  in that “building of God,”  that “house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”  All through his affliction his faith in Christ was firm and his hope was bright.  One morning, when so far gone that he spoke with great difficulty, he asked for water, and when his dry lips, parched tongue and languid body were refreshed, his eye brightened, and he said, “That reminds me of the streams which make glad . . . “  He was evidently thinking of the “river the streams whereof shall make glad the City of God.”  An unusually large number of friends, including the Society of the  Ancient Order of United Workmen, attended the funeral, and the memorial service held about two weeks afterwards in the church.  The discourse of his pastor on the last-named occasion was based on Amos v. 8.  The central idea set forth in the discourse being that the shadow of death will be turned for the Christian into the morning of heavenly day.  Bro. Hales had lived nearly twenty-two years of happy married life;  and besides his faithful, affectionate companion, leaves two daughters and a son, nearly grown to maturity and much respected.  Ever after  God took away his dear little boy, six years of age, his mind was seriously turned toward the “sweet by-and-bye,” when he expected to see the budding rose-bush which had been plucked from his side on earth blooming in full angelic splendor in the gardens of heaven.  Before his conversion, which occurred about eleven years ago, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Porter, he was exceedingly lively;  and after his conversion became a lively Christian - a “lively stone” in God’s spiritual house.  In Kingston Fourth Church our departed brother took an intense interest, being a member of the Quarterly Board, an efficient class-leader, and for some time society steward.  The Board of the church passed a tender resolution of condolence to his family, and appreciative of his usefulness, as well as deploring his death as a personal bereavement.  He was a soul-winner, faithful at the family altar, and a willing worker in the church, while a happy cheerfulness pervaded his life.  It was truly touching to see little children who had plucked his garments and shared his smile upon the street, come and weep to notice the face of their merry friend so fixed and solemn.  They sorrowed most of all, knowing that they should see his face no more.  Almost every person loved him, because he loved them.   [signed]  Reuben Stilwell.

GEORGE HAM ESQ. - one of the oldest and most respected residents of South Fredericksburgh, died at his residence, Conway P.O. on Tuesday, 14th  inst., after a long and painful illness which continued over a year. Mr. Ham was a life long resident of this county, a descendant of one of the U.E.L. pioneers, who came up the Bay of Quinte in 1784, and settled in what was then an unbroken wilderness in the vicinity of Hamburgh. Deceased was a son of Mr. John Ham, a prominent resident of the township, both in Christian work and business affairs. He was in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He was married fifty-nine years ago to Miss Pruyn, a sister of the late Sheriff Pruyn, of this county, who survives him with their four children, Wm. Thatford Ham, Esq., who lives a few lots west of the old homestead, Mrs. Price., of Moorhead Minn, Mrs. Ross of Napanee, and Miss Jennie Ham, residing at home. Mr. and Mrs. Ham soon after their marriage settled on their newly acquired farm, at Conway, where they have always since lived and became the oldest residents of the locality. He was a man of intelligence and ability and of much influence in his day. It is said he was Sir Richard Cartwright's choice for sheriff when this County was first divided from Frontenac. In politics he was a staunch Conservative and used to claim he never gave a vote to any other party in his life. He was a consistent member of the Church of England and knew intimately every minister who has ever labored in that parish. He was for many years and until the time of his death Postmaster at Conway. By his industry and excellent business ability he became a man of considerable wealth. Mrs. Solomon Wright and Mrs. Byard Detlor are sisters and our townsman, Zina Ham and Mr. John Ham of Albany N. Y. are surviving brothers.

ELIZABETH McDONALD - Beloved wife of John Hannah, was born in Glengarry, May 17th, 1819, and departed this life in her quiet home near Mississippi Station, March 28th, 1886.  Our departed sister was united in marriage to Mr. John Hannah, March 14th, 1845, and about two years after moved to their present residence, and for over 41 years shared life’s joys and sorrow.  It seemed sad to separate them even for a short time.  They had eight daughters and three sons. One son has gone to rest, and ten affectionate children and a loving husband mourn the departed, but do not mourn as those without hope.  “Tis God who has bereft them, and he can all their sorrows heat.”  All are members of our church except two, and in her dying moments that dear son out of Christ was in her mind, and the hope that he would be led to Christ and meet her in heaven, in her heart.   It was not possible for three daughters in the west to be present.  Daniel, however, who was absent on the “survey of the Brockville and Westport Railroad,”  returned in time for the funeral.  May the whole family appear on the “right hand” as they meet before the throne.  Her disposition was not impulsive, but rather retiring, and she was calm amidst the greatest suffering.  She calmly fell asleep in Jesus with a pleasing smile upon her countenance.  At eventide there was truly light.  [signed] N.

OBITUARY - Mrs. Peter Hart

Mrs. Peter Hart, a resident of Roblin, passed away at Kingston General Hospital, on Saturday, October 24th, where she had been taken one week ago.  On October 4th a little son was born to their home.  Everything was favourable at first for a quick recovery, when complications arose, and her condition became serious and she was moved to Kingston General Hospital in Martin’s ambulance on October 18th.  While there everything that skilful medical attendance and careful nursing could do, was done, but it was of no avail, and she passed peacefully away on Saturday, with perfect submission to the will of God.

The deceased was Florence Pennell, daughter of Peter Pennell, of Roblin, and had spent all of her lifetime in this vicinity, where she was widely known and highly respected.  She will be sadly missed by her many friends and especially her husband and nine children, three girls and six boys, the oldest seventeen years, and the youngest the tiny infant of three weeks.

Seldom has the whole community been so saddened by a death as by Mrs. Hart’s death, at the early age of 36 years and 10 months.  The funeral service was held in the Holiness Movement Church, where Rev. C. J. Wilson preached a very impressive sermon, assisted by Rev. S. H. Jeffrey.  The church was crowded with sympathetic friends.  Sympathy and sadness was written on everyone’s face, as they looked upon the little helpless family left without the kind loving care of their mother.  Besides her own family she leaves her father and one brother, Ross Pennell, of Wilton to mourn her loss.  Her remains were conveyed to the Roblin cemetery and interred in the family plot.

NELSON HART -

The death occurred at the home of his son, Nelson, on Wednesday morning, November 18th, of Nelson Hart, one of Napanee’s oldest residents.  The late Mr. Hart had been in ill health for several months and was confined to his bed for several weeks.

A son of Mr. and Mrs. Darius Hart, he was one of a family of thirteen, and was born in this county, where he was a successful farmer for a number of years.

At the age of 22 years, he married Margaret Anne Thompson, of Roblin, who predeceased him fourteen years ago.   They lived, with their family, near Roblin for a number of years.  Leaving that district Mr. Hart purchased a farm near Moscow and remained in that neighborhood for four years. Leaving Moscow, he moved to the Anderson district where he and Mrs. Hart resided until her death, six years later.  The family remained on the farm for three years and then Mr. Hart and his son moved to Croydon, where they resided for four years, after which Mr. Hart purchased the Roland Hawley farm on the Newburgh Road.  After a life-time spent on the farm he retired to enjoy a well-earned competence and came to Napanee, where he has resided for the past three years.  He was a member of the United Church and a Conservative in politics.  Until his illness he enjoyed exceptionally good health and was a remarkable man for his age.  He was exceptionally well known throughout the northern parts of the county and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.  He leaves to mourn his loss eight children, forty grandchildren and twenty great grand-children and one brother, Miles Hart of Dresden.  His children are:  Edward Hart of Roblin, Frank Hart of Little Creek, Nelson Hart of Napanee, Alex. Hart, Croydon;  Mrs. Marlin, Tamworth;  Mrs. Will Smith, Centreville;  Mrs. Marshall, St. Catharines;  and Mrs. Albert Young, Napanee.  The funeral service was held on Friday afternoon November 12th, from the residence of his son, Robert Street, to Grace United Church, Rev.

OBITUARY - Mr. John Hartin

Mr. John Hartin, of West Plain, passed peacefully away on October 26th, 1928, at the age of seventy-three. He had been ailing from some time, but was only in bed a few days when the call came to come up higher.

Everything was done that could be done to stay the hand of death, but God had called and he must go.

Many years he had been a servant of the Lord, and a faithful helper in church and community life.  He left a clear evidence behind that the Lord was with him, with no dark clouds to hide the master’s face, as he went down into the valley of death.

The funeral was largely attended at the United Church at West Plain where he was a regular attendant.  The service was conducted by his Pastor, Rev A. E. Oliver, and Rev. Mr. Bennett, Pastor of the Holiness Movement Church at Roblin. A beautiful duet was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Brooks, of Roblin.  The Scripture lesson chosen by the deceased,  was taken from the 14th chapter of John, that being his favourite chapter.

He leaves to mourn his loss a sorrowing wife and two daughters, Mrs. W. J. Tyner, and Mrs. W. G. Pringle;  also three sisters and two brothers.  Mr. Hartin will be greatly missed, and the vacancy will be hard to fill, but his work was done.

Henry

 

HENRY HAWKINS - Was born at Bittirswell, near Lutterworth, Leicestershire, England, Dec. 21st, 1807.  He was clearly converted to God when he was seventeen years of age, the memory of which remained throughout his life and formed a delightsome subject of conversation the days preceding his death.  He united first with the Congregationalists in Lutterworth, and afterwards with the people called “Methodists,” who met in a little church called the Bethel, in the town of Leicester.  Here he became a local preacher, and continued in that office as long as the was able to take appointments, and thus work for the Master.  He came to Canada in 1839, and found a church home among the Episcopal and Primitive Methodists;  and after coming to St. Mary’s he joined with the Methodist Church, which he attended as long as he was able.  The principal part of his active Christian life was spent in connection with the Brampton and Wellesley Circuits of the Primitive Methodist Church.  I enjoyed my visits with him during the latter days of his life, and found him in the exercise of strong faith in God and of good hope in the home prepared for him.  He was among those who say “the former days were better than these,”  and yet he was much interested in the work of the Church, and especially anxious for the salvation of his own family, each of whom regarded him as a godly father.  He died on the 22nd of December, 1886.

SUN SET AT NOON
The expression 'sun set at noon', applies very pathetically to the deceased of our lamented friend, Charles Gibson Hawley, who departed this life in the old home at Gosport, in the Township of Adolphustown, on Tuesday evening, March 12th  1907. He was the only son of the late Samuel Hawley and his esteemed wife, whose maiden name was Miss Jemima Huycke. His birth took place on the 20th  day of August, in the year 1855. He was always proud to claim Ernesttown as his native township. His age, at the time of his death was a few months less that 52 years. How true that with him the sun of life went down while it was still high noon.
He was married to Miss Hannah Baker, of Portsmouth, near Kingston, in the year 1880. Those who survive him and now mourn his loss are, his devoted wife, his sorrowing and aged mother, one widowed sister, Mrs. Randell, and two children, Frank, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. Jas. Robertson, now residing in the old home at Gosport, with her devoted husband and widowed mother. The deceased contracted a severe cold, some ten weeks previous to his death, which developed into pneumonia and terminated fatally, in spite of all that medical science and skilful nursing could do. He entertained but slight hopes of recovery from the beginning, and at once surrendered to the will of God. He spent the weeks of his lingering illness in seeking and trusting Christ, under the earnest and faithful direction of pastor and many praying friends. While our transfated friend felt satisfied that he had made his peace with God, before he was taken away, yet he wished to leave a dying message for his neighbors and friends. This is the message coming from his dying lips. 'make your peace with God, at once, do not waste your lives in sin, and run the risk of losing your souls forever.' May we all be disposed to heed our neighbor's dying message, since it has been written by God, 'He that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.' The funeral, which took place on March 14th , was largely attended, and the memorial service, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Down, was very suitable an deeply impressive. What is mortal of our lost one will wait the trumpet's call, in the Eastern cemetery at Napanee. May his ashes rest in peace until the morning breaks - Com.

LIFE’S DREAM IS O’ER - On Tuesday morning, March 28th, one of Napanee’s estimable young ladies, Miss Ethel Hemstreet, was called to her reward.  Deceased was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.

The sudden death of George H. Henderson occurred unexpectedly at his home at Lime Lake early on Sunday morning, February 21st.  Although in his 82nd year, Mr. Henderson had been enjoying unusually good health.  Recently, whilst visiting his daughter at Roslin, he had an attack of influenza, from which he made a good recovery.  Since returning to his home he had been about as usual, but was suddenly stricken with a heart attack early Sunday.

For many years he had been a successful farmer and had also followed the vocation of carpenter, and was responsible for the building of many homes and barns in the district.  He was an active and regular attendant of the United Church and for over 45 years was a member of Lime Lake Orange Lodge.

HENDERSON - At Napanee, on Thursday, May 12th, 1921, Mrs. Margaret Henderson, aged 87 years and 11 months.

 

OBITUARY - Margaret Henderson.

On Friday, May 12th, 1921, there passed peacefully away one of the oldest and most respected residents of the Town of Napanee. 

Margaret Henderson, who was a daughter of John Scott, of Ebenezer, was born in Ireland, in 1833, and came to this country when about a year old.  The family lived for some years in Adolphustown, but finally settled at Ebenezer, in Tyendinaga.  here her early years were spent.  She was one of a large family, only two of whom are now left to mourn her loss, Henry, of Northport, Michigan and David, of California.  She was one of the pioneer school teachers of the County, having taught successfully for a number of years.  In 1870, she married John Henderson, merchant, of Lime Lake, one of the early settlers of Hastings Co., who predeceased her some fourteen years.

When quite young she was converted to God and united with the Methodist Church, of which she was to the end a faithful and zealous supporter.  She leaves a large family to mourn her loss, her stepchildren, William, Thomas, Robert and Andrew, of Napanee;  John of Port Huron, Michigan;  George, of Lime lake;  James, of Parish, New York;  Mrs. Elijah Jarmin, lime Lake;  Mrs. Herman Masters, Hamilton, and Mrs. Thos. H. Alexander, of Hillier, P.E. County;  and her own family, Mrs. E. W. Hudgins, of Parish, New York;  Mrs. M. B. Alexander, Napanee, and Mrs. J. Lucas, Lime Lake.

Although Mrs. Henderson had nearly reached the advanced age of 88 years, her mind was as keen and her intellect as brilliant as ever, while her interest in and knowledge of the current events of the day far surpassed that of many younger persons.

She was one who was always youthful in thought, fearless in speech, true to her convictions, a kind and obliging neighbour, a generous and indulgent mother and a faithful friend.

Her loss will be greatly felt not only by the family, but by the large circle of friends and acquaintances, with whom she came in contact.  Up to within a few days of her death she was active as ever.  But on Wednesday morning she was taken suddenly ill.  Medical aid was at once summoned, but in spite of all that loving friends could do, she passed peacefully away at 8 o’clock on Thursday night.

Her funeral, which took place from the residence of her daughter Mrs. M. B. Alexander, Richard St., on Sunday, was largely attended.  The short service at the house was conducted by her Pastor, Rev. Dr. Shorey.  Her pall-bearers were her six sons.  The remains were then taken to Lime Lake church, near which a good many years of her life had been spent.  This church, though crowded to its utmost capacity would not hold the large crowd of neighbours and friends who came to show her respect and honour.

A very able and inspiring address was delivered by Rev. E. B. Cooke, of Newburgh, a former Pastor.  He was assisted in the services by Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Roblin, Pastor of the Church.  Both clergymen spoke very highly of deceased, emphasing especially the fact that her life had been one of service.  Mr. Cooke spoke from the text, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints”.  The Choir rendered beautiful and appropriate music.  She was interred by the side of her husband in the cemetery at Lime lake.  Friends were present from new York city, Port Huron, Mich., Parish, New York, Trenton, Belleville, Odessa, Selby and Hillier.

DEATH OF R. G. K. HEPBURN – In the death of Robert Grant Keith Hepburn, Picton has lost one of its most outstanding  young business men, the community a useful and respected citizen and his family a kind and loving husband and father.  Keith Hepburn was called away in the prime of life.  A young man, only 39 years of age, and full of life and vigor, many years of happiness and usefulness seemed ahead.  But death, the grim reaper, did not spare him.  After an illness of only three days, he passed away at the Picton Hospital on Wednesday, February 22nd, following an operation for appendicitis on the previous Monday.  Everything that medical skill could suggest was unavailing and his death is mourned by the entire community, who extend to his family their deepest sympathy.  R. G. K. Hepburn was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hepburn, and was born and had always lived in Picton.  He was for some years associated with his father and brothers in the steamship business.  He was also one of the members of the firm of Hepburn Bros. who carried on an extensive milling, lumber and coal and wood business. On the retirement of the other members of the firm some five or six years ago, he took over the business and has since carried on the coal and wood trade of Hepburn Bros.  About four years ago he organized the Quinte Canning Co. utilizing the mill premises at the dock and since that time has put up tomatoes at their plant.  Mr. Hepburn was a keen sportsman.  He was a good shot and thoroughly enjoyed a days shooting.  He was a member of the Picton Curling Club and a good curler.  His wife who survives him was Miss Johnson, daughter of the late J. W. Johnson of Belleville.  Four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest 11 years and the youngest 3 years of age also survive.  Mr. Hepburn had three brothers, Brig.-General B. R. Hepburn, C. M. G. of Woburn Chase, London, England;  Major Colin Hepburn, also of London, England, and Mr. Jas. D.C. Hepburn who just landed in England with his family on Sunday last.  His father Mr. A. W. Hepburn is also in England.

His mother, Mrs. A. W. Hepburn of Toronto reached Picton just before his death.  Three sisters, Mrs. Plummer and Mrs. Padmore of Toronto, and Mrs. Ackerman of Peterboro, were at the funeral.  His two other sisters are in the west.  Mrs. Noakes in Winnipeg and Miss Gena in Calgary.  The funeral at his late residence on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock was largely attended.  Rev. F. Louis Barber officiated.  The pallbearers were Judge McLean, Dr. Howard Cryan, Capt. Geo. O’Brien and Messrs. A. E. Wilson, Desmond Shannon and Howard Vandusen, the latter of Toronto.  Messrs.

OBITUARY -  Mrs. W. S. Herrington

Deep grief was felt throughout the town in the late afternoon of Sunday, march 6th, when the news spread of the death of Mrs. Herrington, wife of Walter S. Herrington, K.C.  Mrs. Herrington’s health had been impaired from some time, but she had been able to continue most of her usual activites, and had appeared to be regaining her strength.  Her final illness was but of a few hours’ duration, and the end came with unexpected suddenness.

Mrs. Herrington was a very prominent and public-spirited member of the community , and was an enthusiastic and energetic worker in every good cause.  For many years she had been identified with the Children’s Aid Society, and at the time of her death was head of the Women’s finance Committee of the Victorian Order of Nurses.  During the war the Red Cross work benefited by her labours, and it many be said that no movement for the welfare of the community failed to draw from her a sympathetic and substantial support.  But what elicited the most unstinted devotion of her time and her talents was the work of her Church.  In Sunday School, Choir, W.A., and almost every form of church activity, her earnest zeal was manifested.  For several years she had been President of the Church Womans’ Guild, and upon its work were lavished her time and her efforts, while her gifts of leadership and her personal popularity ensured that cooperation which so recently resulted in the achievement of the society’s main objective.  In her Church, in the town, and in a very wide circle of friends, will Mrs. Herrington be greatly missed.

The funeral service was held in St. Mary Magdalene’s Church, on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the Vicar, Rev. Rural Dean Coleman, assisted by Rev. Messrs. A. H. Coleman, A. H. Creeggan, R. W. Spencer, and J. deP. Wright.  the church was filled to the doors.  The hymns, “For All the Saints” and “Abide with Me:, were well rendered by the large choir, and Mr. Marvin Rathbun sang very beautifully “Rock of Ages:.

Mrs. Herrington was the daughter of the late William Tilley, who was Science Master at the Napanee High School about forty years ago.  Besides her husband, she is survived by three children, Miss Helen, of New York;  Mrs. T. D. Sneath, of Boston, and W. Harold, of Kingston;  and by one brother, J. Fred Tilley, of Toronto.  A brother, Major William Tilley, died in England, about 1 year ago.

JAMES GUILDFORD HESS -

The subject of this memoir was born in the township of Sidney, Ont., March 27th, 1853;  died September, 1885. 

His parents were pious.  His father was a class-leader in the Methodist Church, who died when James was ten years of age, committing him to the care of his heavenly Father.

He learned the drug business in the city of Belleville.  His employers and all who knew him respected him for his strict business habits and integrity of character.

The last  thirteen years of his life was spent in the United states.  For several years he was manager of a large drug store in the city of St. Louis, where he was united in marriage to Laura A. Bell who, with two sons, is left to mourn the loss of a kind father.

His health failing him, his physicians sent him to Colorado in hopes of regaining his health, where he still continued a drug store successfully, trying every means to restore his health, without avail.

Although a thorough and careful business man, he had not yet given his heart to God.  The prayers of a mother followed him continually, and when told by his physicians that he had but a short time to live (his disease was consumption) his longing for home, and to see his mother once more was so great that with his family and a brother he started on a journey of 2,000 miles.  Weak and exhausted he reached his home, died the ninth day after. He says, “Mother, I have not seen you in ten years, and I have come all this way to died with you, and now I want you to pray with me.”  It was a great trial, but the Lord was present in great power.  He exclaimed, “Now the Lord has lifted the burden off my soul, and I am happy!”  The morning of his death he asked his step-father to pray, and all gathering around his bed united in prayer;   he said it was the happiest day of his life.  For months he had been trying to give himself to the Lord, and now he shouted his praises aloud, entreating of a brother, who was holding him up in bed, to give his heart to Jesus and commence to pray  then exclaiming with joy beaming from his countenance, “religion is a grand and glorious thing, and regretting that he had not spent his whole life in serving God.”  Thus died an affectionate and dutiful son.  God be praised, he does and will still continue to answer the prayers of his people.  Mothers, continue to pray.              M.

KILLED AT NEWBURGH - G. FRED HILL, ONE OF NEWBURGH’S MOST PROMINENT CITIZENS, INSTANTLY KILLED BY TRAIN

The news of the sudden death of one of Newburgh’s popular citizens was a severe shock to the villagers early on Tuesday morning, when it was learned that Fred Hill had been instantly killed while walking on the Canadian National tracks at Newburgh.

The supposition is that Mr. Hill, who was in night attire when found, had left his home, which is near the track, and walked on the track towards the station while asleep.  It is also thought that he was struck by the fast Ottawa-Toronto train, which does not stop at Newburgh, and, as this train was late on the morning of the accident, it would have passed through Newburgh about the time the accident happened.

Deceased, who was in his early fifties, was one of Newburgh’s most prominent and popular citizens, and his untimely demise is sincerely regretted by old and young, as well as by a host of friends throughout the County.  Mr. Hill was a member of Newburgh Board of Education, Warden in the Anglican Church, and a member of the Masonic Order.

Besides his wife, he leaves three daughters and one son to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father.  One brother, Mr. Wm. Hill, of Toronto, and two sisters, also survive.

Father MacCarthy.  He leaves besides his aged father, two sisters, Mrs. John Gehan and Mrs. Chas Ingoldsby, and two brothers, Peter and Matthew, to mourn his death.

Charles R. Hoover – Going about town in his usual health on Thursday, retiring for the night about 10 o’clock, and being overtaken by a stroke of paralysis from which he never regained consciousness up to the time of his death on Saturday was the fate of Charles Ruttan Hoover.  The late Mr. Hoover was born in the township of North Marysburgh 75 years ago.  He married a daughter of the late Thomas Waring and to them one child, Mrs. Charles H. Rogers of London, Ont., was born.  Mr. Hoover followed the occupation of farming and was considered a successful man.  Of late years he has been living retired in Picton.  He was of a very sociable disposition, fond of the company of his friends and was ever a prominent and welcome companion among them.  Besides his widow and daughter he leaves to mourn, two sisters, Mrs. Jaspar Dingman of Picton, and Mrs. David Bradshaw of Foxboro.  Mr. Hoover was a staunch conservative in politics, and adherent to the First Methodist Church and although he never sought public office, it was his pleasure to sit as a member of the high school board for some nine years and out of respect for him the flag of the school was at half mast.  The funeral took place on Monday.  Rev. J. J. Rae and Rev. W.L. Armitage conducted a private service for the family at two o’clock and owing to Mr. Rae being called out of town by the afternoon train Mr. Armitage conducted the public service at three o’clock.  The funeral was largely attended and by most of the prominent business men.  The bearers were: Mr. Samuel Ellis, Mr. Thomas Walmsley, Mr. Nelson Ballie, Mr. Amos Baker, Mr. W.

ROBERT HORD -  Passed from earth to his heavenly inheritance January 28th, 1885, and was buried on the 30th of the same month, in sure and certain hope of a joyful resurrection through our Lord Jesus Christ.  The subject of this obituary was born in London township, and from childhood was placed under religious influences.  He did not, however, unite with the Church, until in the fall of 1879, under the labors of the Rev. J. E. Moore, in a revival meeting in the village of Komoka.  Our dear departed brother kept a general store in Komoka for eighteen years, and was post-master at the time of his death.  He did much for the moral, religious, and educational interests of the vicinity in which he lived.  The Methodist Church in Komoka stands as a  memorial of his energy and usefulness.  As a Christian, a society steward, and a member of the Trustee Board he is missed.  His house was a welcome home for the servants of God.  Revs. S.S. Weaver and A. Kaniman were given a home gratuitously - in fact, his liberality was almost unbounded.  His funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. J.E. Moore, his pastor, from the words, “Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his,”  to a very large audience, which gave evidence of the very high esteem in which he was held by the neighborhood in which he had been a public benefactor.  Brother Hord leaves a widow and seven children, besides a large circle of influential friends to mourn their loss.  May we meet him in the  “better land.”

MRS. JOHN HORNER – Sudden indeed did the Angel of Death take one from our midst.  The call came to a much respected neighbor and friend, in the person of Mrs. John Horner, of Adolphustown, on Wednesday, May 3d.  Mrs. Horner was seriously ill only a few days and very few of her friends knew of her illness, her death coming as a very severe shock to all.  The deceased was the daughter of Mr. John Furse, being the youngest (only 32 years of age) of a large family.  Three sisters and three brothers remain, besides her aged father, all of whom were present to pay their last respects.  She also leaves behind a sorrowing husband and a little daughter about three years of  age.  She will be sadly missed in the home circle by all, and more especially by her aged father, to whom she has been untiring in her devotion during his serious illness of the past four weeks.  The neighbors also regret her departure to the better world as her pleasant manner won her many friends.  But we must remember that we may all meet again if we so wish as a Home in Heaven is given to all who seek it through our Lord Jesus Christ.  The funeral took place on Friday last at 1 o’clock, the services being held at the house, conducted by Rev. Mr. Thomas and was largely attended.  The remains were placed in the U.E.L. Methodist cemetery.

Obituary – The funeral of the late Mrs. E. E. Horsey (nee Miss Emma Moxon), took place last Thursday afternoon at Kingston.  The service was conducted by Canon Loucks assisted by Rev. R S. Forneri, and was attended by Mrs. Horsey’s near relatives, including her father, Mr. John Moxon,  ---  Herbert and Miss Mary Moxon of Picton, Dr. and Mrs. Elliott of Chesaning, Mich.,  A. J. Moxon of Binghampton, N.Y., and Mrs. Pearsoll of Toronto.  Among the many beautiful floral tributes were noticed two little bunches of flowers brought by two of the little ones in her infant class at St. Luke’s Sunday school where she had been a successful and much loved teacher.  Though always frail, her death came as a great shock to all her friends, for she had been feeling unusually well and was preparing to move from her house on Frontenac Street.  On Monday, the day of her death, she had been out both in the afternoon and evening and retired about 9:30 p.m. apparently quite well. About ten o’clock she awakened her husband as she was suffocating.  Mr. Horsey summoned their neighbor to stay with his wife while he brought the nearest doctor, as the telephone did not act properly.  While he was away the few minutes necessary to go two blocks, she became unconscious and in that state passed away, the attack having only lasted in all about 30 minutes.  The remains lie in the family plot at Glenwood.

JOHN N. HOUGH 1842-1917 -- The subject of this obituary was born on Lot 1, in the 4th Concession of North Fredericksburgh original in the year 1842. He lived and died on the above mentioned old homestead, having passed away on January 1st, 1917, at the age of 74 years, 8 months. John N. Hough was a highly respected and widely known citizen in these parts. He took an interest in the political affairs of the country, and was for his lifetime, a staunch Conservative, but was liberal minded in his views. He was a councillor in the municipality for a number of years and a Justice of the Peace since 1905. In religion he was a life-long Methodist and a member of the same for upwards of forty years. As an active member of the Church he has filled the office of Class Leader, S.S. Superintendent, Steward, Recording Steward, and was a trustee of the Gretna Church at the time it was built. He was a regular and faithful attendant of the means of grace and a supporter of the Church in every way, both spiritually and financially. In business, he was honest, industrious and economical and succeeded where many would have failed. In the home he was so appreciated that here more than any other place his absence will be most keenly felt. During his protracted illness he manifested great patience and cheerfulness, and endured everything without a murmur. He leaves to mourn his loss two brothers and two sisters, viz., Wm. H. Hough, St. Catharines, Charles W. and Maria Hough on the homestead; Mrs. J. A. Ronson, Toronto. Everything possible was done to add to his comfort during his sickness, and in this respect, his nephew, Bismark Edgar, was especially kind. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. S. Boyce and Rev. C. W. DeMille, in the Gretna Church on Thursday, January 4th , where a great number of sympathizing friends and acquaintances came to pay their last respects to an honored citizen. The remains were placed in the vault of Riverside cemetery. The friends have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. And so of John N. Hough, it can truly be said, "He rests from his labours and his works do follow him."

Late W. B. Hough – Word was received in town on Saturday announcing the death of a well-known and highly esteemed resident of the Sillsville district in the person of W. B. Hough at the age of 76 years and the funeral service, which was held from his late residence to the Sillsville United Church on Sunday afternoon was very largely attended.

The illness of Mr. Hough had been of a brief duration, about two weeks, and in his passing the Sillsville district has lost a life-long resident, one who had been a farmer all his life and who had always taken a keen interest in the better things of life.

The members of the Hough family were native of Sillsville and the only remaining brother is Mr. Martin L. Hough.  The deceased had been a member of the official board and by his pleasant manner won a wide circle of friends.  He was well-known in Napanee where in the years that are gone he was a frequent visitor and where he did his shopping.  A few years ago he suffered a sore bereavement in the passing of his life partner.  A brother passed away several months ago, and there was only a short time between the death of his brother and the latter’s wife.  The service was conducted by the Rev. A. J. Rikely.

MABEL HOWARD – Nor for many years have the residents of Collins Bay received such a blow as when two weeks ago the sad news came that Miss Mabel Howard, our faithful school teacher, had passed away at the General Hospital. She was taken sick a few days previously by what was considered a cold. Medical aid was summoned and it was found to be of a more serious nature.  All loving hands could do was of no avail and she was taken to the hospital and three days later she bade farewell to her mother who never left her bedside, and passed away to her heavenly home.  She cared not for the alluring pleasure of frivolous life.  Her life was one of care and love devoted to her home and mother.  As a school teacher she was loved by all.  The funeral took place from her home at Collins Bay.  Rev. Mr. Smith of Christ Church, Cataraqui, took charge of the service.  Many beautiful flowers were placed on the casket by kind friends, among them being gates ajar from the school section.  Her remains were laid to rest in the family lot at Bath.  As the funeral procession passed the school house the old bell in solemn tones rang out.  It had lost a friend.  The deepest sympathy is extended to all bereaved. – Kingston Standard.  Miss Howard was a sister of Mrs. Wm.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT – A Little Boy Seriously Burned – His Recovery Doubtful – A little boy, aged five years, the son of Mr. William Howe, painter, Cumberland street, was very badly burned yesterday morning , his injuries being of such a serious character that his life is despaired of.  It appears that the child went into the bathroom, which is just opposite the room in which he sleeps, and it is supposed his clothes, the ones in which he had slept, caught fire from a small stove  in the room.  The clothing must have caught readily and burned fiercely, as although but a few seconds elapsed from the time the child’s screams were heard and the arrival of his mother, he was frightfully burned.  Mr. Howe’ son, who was sitting at the dining table, was the first one to hear the cries of his suffering brother and hastened up a back stairs to ascertain the cause of the trouble.  On reaching the bath room door he found that the door was locked, and realizing that some danger threatened his younger brother, he attempted without avail, to break open the door.  In the meantime, Mrs. Howe who had heard the screams, rushed up the front staircase, and succeeded in getting into the room by another door and her terror and sorrow may be better imagined than described, when she saw the unfortunate boy standing beside the door endeavoring to get outside, and calling for assistance, with his face, head and body, terribly burned by the relentless fire, which had not at the time of her entrance entirely consumed the child’s clothing.  Mrs.  Howe instantly caught the child in her arms, and with her dress subdued the flames.  A large quantity of raw oil was immediately applied to the little fellow’s body.  Doctors Sweetland and Macdougal made their appearance soon after the occurrence, and prescribed the proper remedies.  The doctors, upon an examination of the body, expressed the opinion that some of the vital parts had been affected by the fire, and the child’s recovery was therefore, extremely improbable.  Mrs. Howe, who had up to this period, borne her trouble with calmness and fortitude, fainted away, and has since been suffering from a temporary fit of insanity brought on by the strain upon her nerves.  Mrs. Howe’s hands were found to be slightly burned, but were not seriously injured.  Morphine was administered to the child, who rested quietly all day.  The little fellow was a great favorite with all who knew him.

He was a son of the late James and Sarah E. Hudgin and spent his entire life in the vicinity of Selby.  He served the Township of Richmond, as road superintendent for over twenty years.  He was a kind husband and an indulgent father, and a man of patience and courage actuated always by that most worthy of all motives, goodwill.  He was a life-long member of the Methodist (now United) Church.

TRAGIC END OF GEORGE HUDSON - The explosion of the Hinchinbrooke dam in the Napanee River, near Parham, lead to tragic results on Thursday of last week, when George Hudson, a well known and respected farmer living near Centreville, met a watery grave.  Mr. Hudson left his home on the ill-fated morning at seven o’clock to go to Parham.  Upon arrival at the bridge crossing the river he found the water very high.  Mrs. McCumber, and two boys and girl, were on the bank of the river near the bridge at the time.  The lady told Mr. Hudson that she thought the bridge was unsafe for travel, but he said he felt sure it would carry himself and rig all right.  He crossed the bridge in safety, but upon arrival at the opposite end found a strong flow of water blocking his way.  The horse refused to go father, but Mr. Hudson, thinking the bottom was safe for travel, urged the beast on.  The current of water had washed away the bed of the road to such a depth that, upon going forward, the horse, buggy and occupant were precipitated into the rushing torrent of water and all were swept away.  The buggy and drowned horse were found about half a mile from the bridge, and the body of the unfortunate young man was recovered on Saturday about forty rods from the bridge.  The funeral was held on Monday from his late home.

The dam at Hinchinbrooke is the fifth dam and is farthest up stream, being sometimes called the head dam.  It is the custom to keep the water dammed back until late in the summer, and then let it loose, which drowns large stretches of arable land.  this dam is supposed to have been dynamited late on Wednesday night by unknown persons and the water released, causing the sad fatality above narrated.

RACHEL HUFF - Was born July 4th  1836, in the township of Adolphustown. Her parents being intelligent and pious, she early had the teaching and example, which, with the blessing of God, were well calculated to produce in after life the fruits of good living. In her childhood she was caressed, as the last born, by a tender mother, blessed as the darling of a father's generous heart, happy in the confidence of brothers and sisters, and surrounded by all the satisfying blessings of a cheerful home. The home of her maturing years was cloudless and crimeless; virtue finding its fairest temple, and purity a holy sanctuary in her heart. At the age of eighteen she was converted to God through the instrumentality of Revs. Geo. Beynon and Wm. Bryers when travelling the Bath Circuit. The youngest of a large family, and the first to profess Christ before the world, and although surrounded by companions who were either halting between two opinions, backsliding from their profession, or altogether regardless of God, she ever proved true to her first love; so much so that she gained the confidence of all, especially of her most intimate associates. After her conversion, having nothing to fear in the spring tide of her first love, her speech was rapture, and her step was buoyancy. Happiness shone brightly o'er her life being all sunshine, and time for her treading only on flowers. She was a loving, obedient child, a kind and thoughtful sister, an ardent, unselfish friend, and energetic and faithful, beyond her physical strength, in the performance of every duty, and ever ready to lend a helping hand to others. In the year 1857, she left home to attend Adelaide Academy, Hamilton, where she made considerable progress in the higher English, music and drawing. After returning home, she continued to apply herself to her studies, especially to music, until she was so far advanced as to be able to instruct others. As a missionary collector, for many years, she was ever at her post, regardless of fatigue and discouragement, walking many miles when no other mode of travelling was convenient. But while she was shedding the fragrance of her love, and the light of ardent by unostentatious piety, it became painfully evident to the quick apprehensive affections of beloved relatives that death had marked her for his victim. Amid her vivacity and loveliness the eye sparkles with unwonted brightness; the cheek blooms, but there is fever, not health in its blush; a strange languor seizes her, and she assumes that transparent radiance which is but the spirit's preparation for the casting off of its earthly vestments - the first transition to the sublimities of the spiritual body. the consuming fever burns on till at length strength fails and the hollow cough peals out its warning knell. It was now that the beautiful simplicity of our dear sister's Christian character was more fully developed. Desiring constantly the society of Christian people, delighting in hearing the songs of Zion, ever anxious to see her ministers and hear them offer up prayer for her, for God's people, but especially for the unconverted and backslider. The writer always found her rejoicing in the prospect of soon being with Jesus. Often so much so that her friends thought her (at times) over anxious to go. But it was not through fear of what she might yet suffer, for she had a firm reliance and a persevering confidence in God's sufficient grace and a submissive willingness to suffer the will of God, ever trusting all to Jesus. A few months before her death she obtained the long sought for blessing of entire sanctification. Calling her mother and sisters to the bedside to rejoice with her, telling them what great thing the Lord had done for her and to have no fear about her as she knew if taken in her sleep all was well. Those who visited her during the last few weeks of her illness, can never forget the earnestness of her exhortations to them to love Jesus, beseeching sinners to flee the wrath to come. Though always rejoicing her happiness was sometimes so enrapturing that the expression of her face was angelic. Two days before death came she dwelt so near heaven that she heard its singing struck to a familiar tune. Heavenly music (she said) in which a great many were employed. She wished them not to weep for her when she was dying, but kneel in prayer and sing "Home of the soul" She also chose to be sung at her funeral "Over There", Meet me in that lovely land" "My home is there." A short time before the messenger came, as we knelt around her bed endeavoring to comply with her request, with sobbing heart and broken utterance, the writer repeated the passage "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil." &c. She rallied a moment to exclaim, "I fear no evil, no not a bit of evil do I fear.:" Being lifted up she again exclaimed, "Come Lord Jesus, come and take me to morrow." The request was answered, for it was already tomorrow as the sun was then just beginning to scatter the darkness from the bosom of the earth. Thus passed away from the world's dim twilight, one of earth's most patient sufferers on the morning of the 31st October, in the 38th year of her age.

HUFFMAN – At Wheatland, Wyoming on Tuesday, 29th Aug., George E. Huffman, youngest son of Mr. Thos. A. Huffman, Napanee aged 22 years and 2 months.

 

DIED IN A DISTANT LAND – On Tuesday, Mr. T. A. Huffman received a despatch from Wheatland, Wyoming, stating that his youngest son, George E. Huffman had died there that morning. The despatch was from Dr. F. Huffman, brother of the deceased who is practicing his profession at Wheatland.  The news will prove a shock to a large circle of friends besides his bereaved father.  George was twenty two years of age on 4th June last, and was cut off in the first flush of young manhood, and until recently with the prospect of a brilliant future.  Deceased was a medical student at Queen’s University, Kingston.  In the winter of 1914, he contracted a severe cold which settled on his lungs.  In January of that year he left for Wyoming in search of health. Although for a time he slightly improved, the change of climate did not prove beneficial, and he continued to decline in health until the end came.  At home George was a universal favorite, a good boy, and at college he proved a diligent and bright pupil, liked by both teachers and fellow students.  He was in his second year in Medicine, and passed his exams most successfully.  Deceased early became a member of the Presbyterian Church here and was in every way an exemplary son and citizen.  He leaves besides his father, brother, Dr. Freeman Huffman, to whom the heartfelt sympathy of all their friends and acquaintances goes out.  The remains will arrive in Napanee on Saturday midnight, and the funeral will take place from the railway station to the Eastern cemetery at 9 o’clock on Sunday morning.

HENRY HUFFMAN, J.P. - one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of South Fredericksburgh, died at his residence south of Hawley, on Sunday last, 30th March. He was born on the same farm on which all his days were spent, and on which he died, on New Year's Day, 1814, and he was consequently in his 89th year at the time of his death. He was a man of intelligence, industry and inflexible integrity and stood in his day among the very best farmers in this county. He was an active and a life-long temperance man, a reliable member of the Methodist church, and in politics a staunch member of the old Reform party. He married Miss Mary A. Clark, a daughter of the late Benjamin Clark, J.P., at one time a prominent farmer of Switzerville. She was a sister of Mrs. Williams, widow of the late Rev. J.B. Williams, D.D. at one time general superintendent of the Methodist church of Canada. Mrs. Huffman died some years ago. Their surviving children are Cyrus, who resides on the old homestead; Mrs. Rawson, of Burlington, Ont., and Mrs. George Fraser, Kingston. The funeral took place at his late residence on Tuesday.

HENRY NEELY HUFFMAN – Something over a hundred years ago there went into the back woods of Camden Township two brothers by the name of Huffman, Elijah and Jacob.  They blazed a trail most of the distance from the Huffman homestead on the Napanee River, just below the present town site of Napanee, to the wilderness homesteads they were to make for themselves in that part of Camden now known as Huffman Street, Moscow.  Those pioneers, of course, are gone, and the last of the second generation was laid to rest in Yarker Cemetery a short time ago in the remains of Mrs. Peter VanLuven;  and now one who was of the third generation has passed away.

Henry Neely Huffman was the grandson of Jacob Huffman, the pioneer, and son of Edward Huffman and Sarah Neely.  He was born on a portion of the old homestead on the 9th of March in the year 1866, and was, at the time of his death, which occurred on the 27th of November, 1933, in his 68th  year.

By the will of his grandmother, Mrs. Jacob Huffman, he inherited the east half of the old homestead which he took possession of in the year 1888 and lived there with his parents for five years when he sold the farm to George Huffman, and moved to the village of Moscow taking possession of the house on Anthony’s Hill.  Two years later he went into business in Kinburn near Ottawa with his cousin, Edward Osborne.  While in Kinburn he married Alma, daughter of Joseph Lucas of Moscow.  In 1902 they returned to Camden and lived with her parents, taking charge of the farming operations there for twelve or thirteen years, at the end of which time they removed to heir house in the village. Mrs. Huffman died there about three years later, and Henry lived alone for the next three years.  About twelve years ago his widowed sister, Mrs. Rombough came to live with him, and has made her home there ever since.

During the years of his retirement Mr. Huffman engaged in agencies for farm implements and machinery, and was also the coal dealer for the Moscow district.  Through these business activities he became well-known in the countryside.  He was a most public-spirited man, helping to promote every cause that had for its aim the well-being of the community.  In politics he was a liberal minded Conservative, one who could see virtues in other parties and was not blind to the errors of his own.  In religion he had been raised in the Methodist tradition, and was a strong advocate of church union.  Though never having joined the church, he was, nevertheless, a faithful attendant upon the church service in the little stone church near his home, and an active supporter of the church’s activities both financially and appreciatively.  For several years he collected the finances through the northern section of the Moscow appointment and without remuneration of any kind, excepting the goodwill of the congregation, acted as caretaker of the church for a number of years.

Mr. Huffman was popular among both young and old – he never seemed to have grown old.  He was what might be called a good mixer.  He was of a fine, friendly and neighbourly temperament, jovial, humorous, fond of a good joke, and an artist at telling a story, or relating a narrative.  He had been good to his parents, giving them a home in their old age and caring for them through the years of their infirmities.  His passing has left a vacancy in the social body  of the Moscow community that will not readily be filled.  All that now remains of him lies in the White Church Cemetery along the highway his forefathers built, and upon which he travelled for so many years, while his soul goes marching on.

One brother, Rev. Archibald of Aurora, and one sister, Mrs. Bella Rombough, who had lived with him for the past twelve years, are left to mourn his demise.

OBITUARY - HIRAM HUFFMAN - On Saturday last, 20th  January, Hiram Huffman, one of North Fredericksburgh's most respected citizens, passed from earth to join the great majority. The neighborhood in which he lived has lost one who was ever ready to give a helping hand to those in need as also to take an active part in anything tending to the welfare of the community. The deceased lived and died on the farm where he was born and which descended to him from his father and grandfather. Mr. Huffman was of U.E. Loyalist descent, his grandfather having been one of the celebrated Butler's Rangers, in the Revolutionary war. In politics he was a conservative, and served his municipality as township councillor for a number of years. Deceased had been in his usual health up to Sunday morning, 14th  inst., when he was suddenly taken with a severe pain in the region of his heart. Medical aid was summoned but temporary relief was all that could be given him and he gradually sank until Saturday noon when death came and he passed away in the 68th year of his age.

Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church and took a deep interest in the new church at Sand Hill. Although a man of few words on religious matters, still he had firm faith in the promises of God, and that he had made an acknowledgment to friends during his short illness that he had tried to live a true Christian life for the past five years, and was ready when God saw fit to call him home. The funeral on Monday was a very large one, the remains being placed in the Napanee cemetery vault, where they will be left until spring, when they will be removed to the family plot at Hay Bay.

HUFFMAN - At Napanee, on Saturday March 11th , James Conrad Huffman, aged 88 years and 10 months

 

PASSED OVER THE RIVER -  During the present week four well known residents of Napanee and vicinity, passed over to the vast majority, full of years and confident of a sure resurrection.  The first, and eldest is JAMES CONRAD HUFFMAN  whose picture heads this column.  Mr. Huffman was a more than usually representative man, in church and municipal affairs, and was widely known and respected.  For over fifty years he was an esteemed resident of our town, an upright business man, loving husband and father, faithful church member, reliable civic official.  Deceased was born about two miles southwest of the village of Bath, on the town line between Ernesttown and South Fredericksburgh, on the shores of the Bay of Quinte, May 20th 1821, his ancestors being United Empire Loyalists.  When a young man he clerked for the late John Benson, who kept a general store on the corner of Dundas and East sts., where M.V.W. Harts music store now stands.  Later he was employed in a store in Kingston.  When about 23 years of age he married Almira Garratt, and moved to a farm near Moscow, from which he removed a couple of years later to the farm now owned by Mr. John Garrison, in Ernesttown.  In 1853, with others, he contracted the ‘gold fever’ and went to Australia  where he remained two years.  Shortly after his return, he came to Napanee and entered into partnership with the late Dr. David Ash in the drug business, their store being on the site now occupied by the Coxali Co.  After a year, in 1856, he bought out the Dr., and continued the business alone until 1872 when his son, Mr. T. A. Huffman, was taken into the business, being an active member of the firm until February 2d last, when he had a faint spell, from which although able to be about, he never recovered.  Mr. Huffman took a keen interest in municipal affairs, and was the second Mayor of our town, which position he occupied for four successive years – 1868-1871.  The first Mayor was the late Benj. C. Davy.  Deceased was also at times a member of our town council, reeve and deputy reeve, and was also coroner, holding his first inquest April 14th 1875.  Mr. Huffman was a life-long Methodist and was converted under the preaching of Rev. John Bull at the White Church, Morven, over fifty years ago, and was a faithful and prominent member of the Western Methodist church from that time until his death.  In politics, Mr. Huffman was a Liberal, but was willing that everyone should exercise his own judgment in such matters.  Deceased was the last of a family of twelve.  He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Freeman Lane, who kept his home since her mother’s death, and anticipated his every wish and one son, our esteemed townsman Mr. Thos. A. Huffman.  The funeral service was held in the Western Methodist church on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the remains lying in state for an hour before in the sacred edifice which during his long life was so dear to him, and of which he was so faithful a member and official.  The church was  full of our townspeople, and many from the surrounding country, anxious to pay a last tribute of respect to so worthy a citizen.  The services were taken part in by his pastor, Rev. J.R. Real, and Revds W. S. Emsley, J. S. White and J.P. Wilson, who said he had come to bid farewell to his father’s friend and also one of his dearest friends from boyhood until the present time.  The remains were placed in the Western vault to await interment later.  The drug stores of the town, were closed during the service out of respect for deceased.

(nee Clark)

 

MRS. MARY ANNE HUFFMAN - This excellent Christian woman passed away to her eternal rest, May 26, 1893, in the seventy-fifth year of her age. She was the oldest daughter of the late Mr. Benjamin Clark, of Ernestown, who for many years was a faithful member and official of the Switzerville church - one of the old historic churches of early Methodism. Her whole subsequent life bore blessed fruits of the pious training she received in that godly home. She was converted to God at a camp meeting in 1846, held in the neighborhood of her home, and that conversion evidenced its genuineness by a most exemplary and beneficent Christian life extending over a period of some forty seven years. In 1842 she was married to Mr. Henry Huffman, which proved to be a most happy union for both. Her aged and honored husband with three children, Mr. C. B. Huffman, of South Fredericksburgh, Mrs. (Rev.) W. H. Rowson, of Burlington, and Mrs. G. N. Frazer of Napanee, survive. She was greatly beloved by many of the old Methodist ministers, such as Revs. James Gray, C. Fish, and Dr. John A. Williams (her brother-in-law) Her interest in the Woman's Missionary Society was intense, and from its beginning she took an active part in promoting its welfare. Six years ago she became a life member of the Society. Her interest was equally great in the important subject of systematic giving, of which she had very enlightened views, and carried them out into faithful practice. Many a delightful and profitable hour as the writer spent in the society of this noblehearted Christian woman. He can cheerfully endorse what one of her former pastors, Rev. William Sheridan, has said; :Thinking over the many noble Christian women we have met, she was one of the most unselfish. We have never forgotten her willingness to sacrifice herself to keep and comfort and encourage us. It is a benediction to have know her. Her end was in harmony with her Christian profession and life; it was most peaceful, most triumphant, most blessed. Her last hours were spent in prayer for her family, the Church, her neighborhood, the Woman's Missionary Society and the heathen. The funeral was the largest seen in this region for a long time, and was a deeply impressive occasion. The Lord be with her sorrowing partner and family. Bath. Ont. James C. Seymour.

WM. McC. S. B. HUFFMAN -

In the death of Wm. McC. S. B. Huffman which occurred at the family residence on the 8th day of April 1893, another of the  old residents has been removed from the township of Sheffield.  He was born Dec 19th, 1826, and is reported to be the first white child born in the township, his parents James and Flora Bell Huffman, being some of the earliest there.  The deceased spent his whole life (a period upwards of sixty-six years) in the township in which he was born, highly esteemed, and respected by all.  In the year 1859 he married Miss Jane McGill, who still survives him and is now left a widow to mourn his loss.  Their family consisted of seven children, four sons and three daughters.  Mr. and Mrs Huffman were converted at an early age and became members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church and entered on their married life.  In the fear of God, “Partness of like precious faith”, they naturally shared each others joys and sorrows, for nearly thirty-four years.  Mr. Huffman’s sickness was somewhat of a lingering character, but when the end came, he was found ready, peaceful, triumphant.  His funeral was largely attended and the occasion unproved in the Methodist Church at Tamworth (of which he was a member and at an earlier day exercising in public) by Rev. H. I  Allen, from Rev. 14 13.  His remains were entered in the Methodist Cemetery adjoining the village.

OBITUARY -  A deep gloom was cast over the entire community, when the sad news spread of the serious accident which occurred to Mrs. Amos Hughes, on Monday, Dec. 24th, 1917, at 10 a.m.  In spite of all that medical aid and loving hands could do, deep sleep crept peacefully upon her, and she passed to the loving arms of her Saviour at 2 p.m.  Deceased was born August 29th, 1875.  She was ever ready to help anyone in need, and cheerfully administered to the sick or distressed in any way.  She was much loved and very highly respected by all who knew her, a kind neighbor, a faithful wife and a loving mother.  It seems so hard to see a young life like Alice cut off in prime, but let us say in our deep sorrow, “Thy will be done:.  She has been called to a higher service.  We sorrow not for her, but for those who have been left behind.  Besides her broken-hearted husband, and mother, Mrs. Thomas Penny, she leaves to mourn her loss four small children.  The bereaved ones have the deepest heartfelt sympathy of the whole community.

Deceased was a member of Camden V. Presbyterian Church from her girlhood, and was ever present on The Sabbath day.  She also attended the weekly prayer meetings at Sharpe’s Corners, where it was always her delight to worship and do her part in helping on her Master’s cause.

Her remains were removed from her late residence on Wednesday, at 1.30 and proceeded to Camden V. Church, followed by a very large procession to pay their last tribute of respect to a truly beloved neighbour.  The service was conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Mr. MacLean, who preached an earnest and impressive sermon from St. Mark 13:37.  “What I say unto you, I say unto all, watch”.  He was assisted by Rev. Mr. Cook.  The beautiful casket was laden with choice flowers tributes of respect from her many friends from far and near.  We shall meet our departed sister in the dawning of eternal morning.  It is not on earth that Heavenly justice ends.  Think what earth is compared to the world to which her spirit has winged its flight.

OBITUARY - Mrs. Samuel Hughes.

Mrs. Samuel Hughes, nee Eliza Jane Doupe, died on January 7th, at the age of 57 years.  Born in Camden Township, a daughter of the late Samuel  and Susanna Doupe, she was well and favourable known in her early home neighborhood, and also for the past twenty-one years in Roblin community.  Until a comparatively recent period she was able to perform her daily duties, but the disease eventually conquered and she peacefully passed away confident of a happy meeting with her Saviour in that glorious place He has prepared for his followers.

Mrs. Hughes was of a kindly and sympathetic disposition.  She lived for others.  Wherever illness or distress of any kind appeared she was ready with her practical aid and cheerful service.  Her ministrations were quietly performed.  It was not the praise of humanity she wanted, but the approval of her master for her benefactions were done as unto Him.  She was a highly esteemed member of Roblin Methodist Church, and a generous supporter of the Woman’s Missionary Society.  The Saviour’s love was uppermost in her thought on that last Sunday spent on earth as indicated in her choice of hymns to be sung and scripture read,

“Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, “I Love to Tell the Story”,  “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling”, and Luke 23: 33-38.

Besides her sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, one surviving sister, Anna, and three brothers, Joseph, Samuel and Jacob Doupe, of Centreville.

The funeral service in Roblin Methodist Church, on January 8th, was very impressive.  The church was filled with relatives and friends.  The Choir rendered appropriate selections, and the Pastor, Rev. C. J. Wilson, preached from the text, Matthew 25:34.  The remains were taken to Centreville vault, and next spring will be interred in Camden V. cemetery.

OBITUARY

The community of Croydon received another shock on Sunday night, March 3rd, when the news spread of the death of Miss Marion Hughes, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hughes.  Although Marion had not been in the best of health the past few years, with Diabetes, her death came as a great shock, as she was feeling as well as usual up until Saturday morning, when she took a chill.  Dr. Horton was called in, and all that loving hands could do was done, but of no avail.

Marion was a bright young girl of just sixteen years and nine months old, of fine personality and cheerful disposition.  She made a host of friends throughout her life, which was marked by her kindness and friendliness at all times.

She leaves to mourn her loss, her heart-broken parents, two brothers, James and Harold.

The funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon, at Reidville United Church, when Rev. M. Beckstead preached a very impressive sermon to a crowded church of friends and neighbours.  The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, which showed the high esteem in which she was held.  Parents and brothers, wheel with broken spoke, of roses and carnations;  Mr. and Mrs. Kelusky and daughters, Vereen and Leola, Bancroft, wreath roses and narcisses;  Annie Close, sheaf of Easter lilies;  L.O.L. and L.O.B.A., pillow, roses and carnations;  Women’s Institute, broken circle of roses.  The pall bearers were Sidney Griffen, Leonard Martin, Geo. Sharpe, Glen Lochhead, Earl Teskey and Raymond Campbell.

The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the parent and brothers in their sad bereavement.
