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, Toronto, aged 76 years.  He married Miss Jane Ingersoll, daughter of the late Isaac Ingersoll, of the front of Fredericksburgh, who survives him with four sons.  He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and of extensive reading and travel.  He was the author of two quite popular books. His “Canadian Life of Fifty Years ago”, gives some very interesting sketches of habits and customs, especially of the people of this county during the first half of this century.  He was of U.E. L. stock and was much interested in the early history and traditions of the pioneers of this province.  One of his last duties performed was to spend some weeks, a year ago, among the archives at Washington, copying and arranging a number of valuable manuscripts of the correspondence and claims of the first Loyalists, which will soon be published by the Historical Society.

 

Canniff Haight, who died June 25th 1901, was the son of Shadrick Ricketson Haight, (son of Daniel Haight, U.E.L., who settled in Adolphustown) and his wife Mary, daughter of James Canniff U.E.L. He was born 4th June, 1825. Resided in Picton, County of Prince Edward, and subsequently in Toronto; was a journalist, and author ("Country Life in Canada Fifty Years Ago;" "A genealogy of the Haight family," etc.; transcribed with is own hand the MS. Reports of the Commissioners on U.E.L. Claims which were lost for many years, and are now in the Congressional Library at Washington, a work in which he was engaged from some months under the direction of Mr. James Bain, Public Librarian, Toronto, and with the assistance of this Association. He married, 23rd June, 1852, Jane Casey, daughter of Isaac Ingersoll, of Fredericksburgh, and granddaughter of Willet Casey, M.L.A., and had issue.

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.

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.

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.

The Late Mrs. Hall

We are called upon to record the death of Mrs. Wm. Hall, mother of Mr. W.F. Hall, secretary of the Napanee Mills Paper Co., which event took place on Tuesday last. The deceased lady was born in the year 1804 in South Fredericksburgh, and came of good old U.E. Loyalist stock. Her maiden name was Mary Diamond, and her family is noted for its longevity of life. She was the youngest of a family of six, two of which are still living in Belleville, William and John Diamond, aged respectively 85 and 90 years. She removed to Richmond in 1842, and was united in marriage with Wm. Hall, and became the mother of seven children, three sons and four daughters, all living.  Mrs. H. was a life-long Methodist. Her last illness was of only a week's duration. A large procession followed the remains to the Napanee Cemetery, Rev. D. Conolly performing the burial services.

The Late Mrs. W.F. Hall

One of Napanee's oldest and best known residents passed away Monday afternoon, when Mrs. W.F. Hall died at her home on the Newburgh Road.

Mrs. Hall had reached the advanced age nearly eighty-nine. For the past few years she had been practically confined to her home, but had retained, in a remarkable way, the use of her faculties, a fine mental alertness and a keen interest in all that was going on. Her last illness was of brief duration and she passed quietly away after a long and useful life.

Before her marriage, Mrs. Hall was Sarah Eliza Smith. She was one of four daughters of the late Geo. I. Smith and his wife, Mary Ann Huyck, all of whom have now passed on. She was born in North Fredericksburgh Township and removed to Napanee with her parents when they retired, over sixty years ago.

Shortly after coming to Napanee, she married the late W.F. Hall, who at that time was secretary-treasurer of the Paper Company at Napanee Mills, now Strathcona. Later, Mr. Hall conducted an insurance business in Napanee, and was interested in other enterprises. Mr. Hall died about eleven years ago.

The association of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hall with Trinity United church was one of long and honorable standing. Their life history was closely connected with the life history of the church during more than half a century. For many years, Mr. Hall was recording steward of the old Eastern Methodist Church, which later became Trinity United Church. For twenty-one years, Mrs. Hall was president of the Ladies' Aid a position from which she retired only eleven years ago. Their service was given in unstinted measure and was typical of service of a large group of similarly minded people, who made the building of the present church a possibility.

Mrs. Hall is survived by four daughters and one son; Mrs. Myers of Toronto, Miss Florence, at home, Mrs. Madden, the wife of Judge J. E. Madden, Napanee, Mrs. Challies, wife of the Hon, G.H. Challies, and Mr. Ernest, of Winnipeg, general storekeeper of the western lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The funeral service is being conducted at the home on Thursday afternoon, with Rev. Harry Pawson, minister of Trinity United Church, in charge.

Died - At his residence, Willow Glen, Ernestown, on Saturday evening, the 9th of November, after a most severe and painful illness, Benjamin Ham, Esq., aged 65 years.

Benjamin Ham was the seventh son (the last of eight brothers) of John Ham, a U.E. Loyalist, who came to Canada from the Hudson river in the year 1780 and took possession of the estate lately occupied by the deceased. The family were originally German, the ancestors having emigrated to America from Hanover, Germany, and Mr. Ham always prided himself upon his German descent. Besides being deeply mourned by a wife and family, to whom he was fondly attached, Mr. Ham's loss is keenly felt in the neighborhood where he lived, and looked upon by the community as a public calamity. As a devoted husband and kind, indulgent father, a christian gentleman and obliging neighbor, his loss will be felt more and more. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, but always gave liberally to all denominations. In politics, Mr. Ham belonged to the old school of Reformers, and always adhered to his principles with the most rigid independence, forgetting self, and striving with genuine sincerity to benefit his country and fellow man. Upright and honourable he always was, and of such strict integrity that it became a favorite saying of his friends and neighbors, that his word was as good as his bond. His disease was of the heart and his suffering heart rending to behold, but he relied upon the Saviour of all who will, and his prayer to the very last moment was "Lord, come quickly." He has gone to his rest, leaving no earthly doubt but that a crown of glory awaited him in Heaven.

Ex-R've Frank Ham Died Suddenly Kingston Hospital - Attended County Council From South Fred. For Nearly 4 years -

With the death of Frank N. Ham of Conway in Kingston General Hospital on Saturday, April 19th, the Township of South Fredericksburgh and the County of Lennox and Addington lost one of its most progressive citizens.

Mr. Ham who was only 49 years of age suffered an attack of coronary thrombosis in 1949. He was in the Hospital for some time, but appeared to have made a good recovery. Some weeks ago he returned to the hospital for a check-up and treatment and just before he was scheduled to return home had to undergo a rather serious operation. He was reported to be making satisfactory progress until he suffered a heart attack and passed away.

Mr. Ham was born at Conway and was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ham. His father's family have been identified with the public life of the Township for several generations. His grandfather Ira Ham was Reeve of the Township of South Fredericksburgh in 1873. His father George T. Ham was clerk of the Township for 29 years. Frank Ham was Reeve of South Fredericksburgh from 1944 to 1949. During his last year as Reeve he became ill and had to give up public life. During the time he was a member of the county Council he served on several important committees and had considerable to do with the formation of the county Health Unit, on the Board of which he acted for a few years. Many farm organizations in the county received his active support as well as St. Paul's Anglican Church at Sandhurst, of which he was a member.

Mr. Ham is survived by his wife, formerly Elizabeth Crews, by two children, Katherine and Thomas, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ham and four sisters, Mrs. Maurice Young, Sandhurst, Mrs. H. C. Hunter, Kingston and Mrs. Mary Smith of Denver, Colorado and Miss Margaret Ham, Toronto.

His funeral was conducted by Rev. Henry Hill, at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Sandhurst, on Tuesday afternoon and interment followed in St. Paul's Cemetery.

One of those periods of sorrow and gloom which periodically visit all communities, this week fell on the Ham family, Conway. The death of Frank Ham is a deep loss to the whole neighborhood.

Frank Ham, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Ham, died in Kingston General Hospital, Saturday, April 19th. His body was returned to his home to-day (Sunday) and the funeral will take place at St. Paul's Church, Sandhurst, April 22nd at 2:30 p.m.  He had been in ill-health for some time but faced all in great hopefulness.

Frank, as everyone knew him, was what we might term a mutation in our community. His nature refused to be fettered by the past. His methods cut across old custom and established practice. He pioneered new methods. Machinery fascinated him and he employed it beyond any previously established practice in our neighborhood. He studied crops and soils and fertility and drainage and rations. Any problem was a challenge and he sought the answer. What seemed the impossible to many was a spur to him and he sought to prove its practicability. Defeatism and surrender, when an undertaking went foul and unforeseen difficulties arose, was not in his nature.

Frank was essentially a man of the community. He was a member of the Anglican church, a leading Mason and gave much time and effort to Agricultural organization. He was also Reeve of our Township for several years.

To the public and in our neighbourhood, his greatest attribute was perhaps Friendliness. He possessed a magnetism that compelled respect even in disagreement. A neighbour he was to all - a Good Samaritan.

If it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved, Frank had loved. he was not permitted to carry out and on to maturity of years.

Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ham, his parents, and his wife and daughter and son, survive him. To these we wish to extend our deepest sympathy.   A NEIGHBOUR

Ham - At South Fredericksburgh, March 14th, 1899, George Ham, aged 86 years, 10 months and 26 days.

 

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.

 

We have to record the death of another of the pioneer settlers of South Fredericksburgh. George Ham passing over to the great majority on Wednesday last. Deceased was eighty-seven years of age and had lived all his long life in the township of Fredericksburgh. He was also of old united empire loyalist stock and connected with many of the leading families in this section, his wife being a sister of the late sheriff Pruyn, of Napanee, who with a family of four survive. They are: Mrs. Price, Mrs. Ross and Miss Jennie, at home and one son, Thatford, a farmer in South Fredericksburgh. Two brothers and two sisters also survive. They are Zina, Napanee; John, Albany, N.Y.; Mrs. Solomon Wright and Mrs. Byard Detlor, both living in South Fredericksburgh. Deceased was one of the most intelligent men of his day and a thrifty and prosperous farmer. He was postmaster at Conway for a number of years and held the position at the time of his death. He was a staunch conservative and a consistent member of the English church. Deceased had been ailing for about a year and his death was due to cancer of the stomach. The funeral took place yesterday.

Death of Ira Ham

We regret to learn that Ira Ham, Esq., for many years the Reeve of South Fredericksburgh, died at his residence, Hamburg, on Thursday, after a very long and painful sickness of cancer.

He has been troubled with a cancer on his temple for over two years, and for more than a year past it has been evident that, in the end, it must prove fatal. Mr. Ham was a gentleman much respected and popular in his native township, and for years was a leading spirit in the Conservative party in the municipality. He was at one time Warden of Lennox and Addington, and in the County Council he had much influence. He occupied a seat in the County Council for eight or ten years, until January, '80, when his health had become so feeble as to make it necessary for him to retire from public life.

Sudden Death - One of the most sudden and unexpected deaths that has occurred in Napanee for years, was that of John D. Ham, last evening. For some time past his friends have observed that he was falling rapidly, but no one had the slightest idea that his end was so near at hand. About seven o'clock in the evening, in company with his niece, Miss Hooper, he went for a short walk, and when near the residence of Mrs. Ross on Centre street, he was taken with a faint spell. He was immediately taken into Mrs. Ross and Dr. Grant sent for, who, with Dr. Ruttan, did all in their power to restore him, but to no avail, and he passed peacefully away.

Deceased was in his seventy-third year, and for the past half a century was one of the most prominent men in our county, occupying the highest positions in the county council and school board. Deceased leaves a faithful and sorrowing wife, who has been a partner of his joys and sorrows and had much to do with his eminently successful business career. Their only son died some years ago, and at Mr. Ham's request he will probably be laid at his side in the family plot at Newburgh on Monday next.

 

The Late John D. Ham (Napanee Express)

The late John D. Ham, who passed away so suddenly on Thursday, last week, was considered one of the best business men in Lennox and Addington. He was a very prominent man in the county, having occupied high positions in the county council and school board. Deceased was born in Bath, on 27th March, 1823. In 1843 he moved to Newburgh, where he went into the employ of Lasher & Stevenson, serving but a short time before he was taken into partnership, the name of the firm being changed to lasher, Stevenson & Ham. Mr. Lasher shortly afterwards retired. In 1855, Mr. Ham and the late Hon. John Stevenson dissolved partnership. Mr. Ham, however, continued in the mercantile business until 1868. He was always a prominent conservative in politics and had on different occasions been proposed as a candidate for M.P., but had refused. Deceased leaves a sorrowing wife and a daughter, Mrs. Dr. Vrooman, Yarker. Their only son died in 1858. The will of deceased was opened on Tuesday last. Mrs. Ham and daughter are left amply provided for, while a number of friends are also remembered. The executors are Messrs. James Haydon, Camden Eat and Harvey Warner, Napanee.

George

 

The many friends of George Hambly, a well-known and progressive Richmond farmer, will much regret to learn of his death, which took place at Denver, Colorado, on Sunday last, aged about thirty-three years. He was a son of Samuel Hambly, of South Napanee, and has been all his lifetime a resident of this locality. For the last few years he has been associated with his brother, John in hog and live stock dealing, and was well known throughout the county. Some months ago he took sick, of consumption, and spent some time at the sanitarium, at Gravenhurst, but received no benefits. He was next prevailed upon to go to Denver, hoping to receive benefit from the change of climate there. Last week his friends received encouraging letters from him. On Saturday, however, a telegram came stating that he was much worse and his brother John at once started to him. On Monday the sad tidings came of his death, which must have occurred before his brother could reach there. It is probable that the body will be brought back to Napanee as soon as possible for burial. He was married to Miss Edna Brandon, daughter of William Brandon, of the Selby road, who survives him, with one son, but fourteen months old.

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.

Rev. Robert Harding, for many years rector of old St. Paul's Adolphustown, died at Napanee on Friday, aged eighty-nine years.

   

Funeral of the Aged Minister

The funeral of the late Rev. R. Harding took place at the church of St. Alban the Martyr, Adolphustown. Before leaving Napanee a memorial service was held in St. Mary Magdalene Church. Clergy served as pallbearers, the casket being borne by old friends of deceased. The holy communion was celebrated by Rural Dean Baker, and Rev. F.D. Woodcock acting as gospeller and epistoler respectively. During the service the body rested in the choir, the clergy watching on either side.

At Adolphustown, the Rev. R.S. Forneri, rector, and several other clergymen received the funeral procession, which was augmented by a large number of Mr. Harding's old parishioners. The service in the church was very impressive. At Mr. Harding's own request no word of eulogy or funeral address marred the grand simplicity of the Anglican rite, the only departure from the regular form being the insertion of the prayer for the "church millitant" in commemoration of the faithful departed. At the grave the prayers were said by the rector and Rev. A. Jarvis, of Napanee.

The sudden passing in the Kingston General Hospital on Sunday, August 27th, of Ralph Harrison, 43, only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Blake Harrison of Adolphustown, came as a great shock to the community.

Death of F.W. Hart

Word was received in town on Monday announcing the death at his home in Hannah, Alberta, of Mr. F.W. Hart, for many years a resident of Napanee. Mr. Hart passed away on Thursday morning and the funeral service took place at the Anglican Church on Friday afternoon at Hannah, his illness having been of a duration of about three months. His passing will come as a great shock to his friends here. About four years ago Mr. Hart left the West and came to Napanee and spent several months here having rented a farm in Adolphustown, but having a desire to return where his family were residing, he again returned to Alberta. Prior to leaving for the West many years ago, he was, for a number of years, successful in the retail organ and piano business in Napanee knowing the business thoroughly and the name of Hart was well-known throughout the country. While in Napanee, he was a regular attendant at Napanee Lodge, No. 861 I.O.O.F. and was for some years pianist at the lodge. He was a member of the Anglican Church. To mourn his loss he leaves his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Isica, Athabaska, Mabel, at home; and three sons, George, Frank and Borden. Mrs. Archie Thompson, South Napanee, is a sister of Mrs. Hart.

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.

Died at the Age of 107 Years

Peter Hart, Sr., died on Friday at the home of his son, Mr. Russell Hart, who resides about half a mile north of the village of Roblin, at the ripe old age of 107 years. Deceased was probably the oldest resident of this section and possibly the oldest in the Province of Ontario. He was one of the earliest settlers of these parts and distinctly remembered and worked upon the construction of the old historical covered bridge, which formerly spanned the river at the east end of Napanee. He was at that time a young man about eighteen years of age. Besides helping to construct the old Grand Trunk Railway through this section, he was one of the early pioneers who blazed the first trail north as far as Roblin. At that time Napanee and the surrounding country was a huge wooded wilderness. The funeral took place on Sunday at 1.30 p.m., the services being held in the Holiness Movement Church at Roblin, after which the remains were laid to rest in the family plot just south of the village.

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 he 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 than 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.

Death from Hydrophobia - A melancholy event, the like of which is fortunately of very rare occurrence, transpired here last week. A little boy, about eight years of age, son of Mr. Sheldon Hawley of this town, died of hydrophobia on Thursday morning, having been bitten by a small dog owned by Mr. Hawley. The dog was not suspected of being rabid, and when the child was taken sick the parents did not know the true nature of the cause till medical men were called in, who saw at once that the little patient was suffering all the agonies of that dreadful malady.  The dog has been killed, as also several other dogs which were bitten by him, and we trust we shall have no more cases of the kind to chronicle.

The Late Mrs. Cartwright Hawley

Mrs. Cartwright Hawley passed away at her home in Napanee early Tuesday morning, following an illness of some weeks.  Mrs. Hawley had not enjoyed good health for some time, and about eight weeks ago suffered a severe stroke of apoplexy. For a few weeks she was a patient at the Kingston General Hospital, but was brought back to her home in Napanee about a month ago, since when her condition had steadily become more serious, until death resulted.

The late Mrs. Hawley was formerly Elizabeth Matilda Joyce, daughter of the late James and Marjory Jane Joyce. She was born in North Fredericksburgh, nearly seventy-one years ago, where she lived until her marriage to Mr. Cartwright Hawley, just a few months more than fifty years ago. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hawley resided for a short time at Hay Bay. Then for a number of years they resided in North Adolphustown, near Bardolph. They retired about twenty-three years ago and since have made their home in Napanee. In whatever community they have lived, they have been held in the highest respect by a large host of friends who sincerely regret the death of Mrs. Hawley. During her residence in Napanee, Mrs. Hawley had been a member of Trinity United church, where she took an active interest in all the organizations and had been most generous in her support.

Mrs. Hawley is survived by her husband and one adopted daughter, Mrs. C.D. Black of Kingston. One brother, Mr. J.M. Joyce, of Napanee, also survives. Her sisters, Mrs. T.A. Percy, Mrs. (Rev.) T.H. Richards, and her brothers, William, Samuel and Sheldon, predeceased her some years ago.

Her funeral is to be held at the family residence, Bridge St., Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. with Rev. Harry Pawson of Trinity Church in charge. Interment will follow at Riverside Cemetery.

Ex-Sheriff G.D. Hawley Died in 94th Year - Was Former M.L.A. for Lennox and Addington

Death removed one of the oldest and best known residents of the County of Lennox, when Mr. George Douglas Hawley passed away at his home on Thomas Street, Napanee, on Friday evening. Better known to the present generation as 'Sheriff Hawley', Mr. Hawley had also occupied other positions of prominence in the official life of the county, in his earlier days. He was a member of the Ontario Legislature for two terms, when he won the seat in two elections from the late George Tate Blackstock, K.C. He was defeated in the third election by the late Alex Roe.

After his defeat by Mr. Roe, Mr. Hawley was made Clerk of the Division court, which position he held for nine years, until he was appointed Sheriff, about forty years ago by the Mowat administration. For 29 years, Mr. Hawley retained the position of sheriff, until he superannuated eleven years ago, and the present sheriff, Mr. C.W. Vandervoort, was appointed to the office.

Intense Interest in Politics -

Mr. Hawley was a staunch Liberal in politics. He was one of the few remaining members of the old school of politicians. Politics to him was the breath of life. His interest in all matters pertaining to his party remained, a noteworthy characteristic until the end. While keenly interested in the affairs of the county and province, his interest extended to a far wider sphere. He kept informed on world events and had a grasp of British politics, which would be the envy of many a young man.

Until within a week of his death he was a constant reader of the daily papers and retained a keen grasp on current events.

The late Mr. Hawley was seriously ill only one week, although he had been confined to his room for the past two years. He was born in the Township of South Fredericksburgh, nearly 94 years ago, the eldest son of the late Joseph Hawley and Mary Douglas. At the age of four years he went to Kingston to live with his uncle, Charles Heath, a prominent druggist of the city. Until he was thirteen years of age he attended a private school in the city, conducted by Dr. McLean and then entered his uncle's drug store, where he remained until he was twenty-one. At that time he decided to return to his father's home and remained on the farm until he came to Napanee 38 years ago.

Bishop Renison Assisted at Funeral -

Mr. Hawley is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Caroline Bristol, daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Bristol of Napanee; one daughter, , Miss Ethel Hawley and one sister, Miss Caroline Hawley, Napanee. Other brothers and sisters who predeceased him were Charles Hawley, Miss Mary Anna Hawley, Mrs. Amanda Gunn, and John Hawley.

The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at the residence, Thomas Street. It was conducted by the Venerable Archdeacon Dumbrille of St. Mary Magdalene Church, of which Mr. Hawley was a member.

Mr. Dumbrille was assisted in the service by Bishop Renison of St. Paul's Cathedral, Toronto, a nephew of Mrs. Hawley.

Interment followed at Riverside cemetery in the Bristol plot.

One of Ernesttown's oldest residents passed away here on Thursday night last, in the person of Jason Hawley. Mr. Hawley was in his seventy-sixth year, and was born about two miles from this village, on the Quobin road. He has never lived outside of the township. During his lifetime, Mr. Hawley was a very hardworking man, and was always honorable in all his dealings. In his early years he was a great hunter and trapper, and was thoroughly acquainted with the back country. His latter years were quiet and peaceful, and he died with many friends and not an enemy in the world. For a number of years he was superintendent of the walks in the village, and always attended promptly to his work. For a few years, Mr. Hawley was never well, and during the last year he suffered greatly, but uncomplainingly from cancer of the stomach and gangrene in one foot. To his family he expressed his willingness to die and then quietly sank to sleep. He is mourned by a wife, three sons and three daughters, and two half-brothers, Billings Gordon, of Odessa, and John Gordon, of Parham, who were here to attend the funeral. Mrs. Jones, one of the daughters, came from Rome, N.Y., to attend the funeral, which was held on Sunday morning, at the Brick church, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Seccombe. A large number paid their last respects to the dead. The remains were interred at Wilton.

A Man Found Dead

This morning about 8 o'clock the people of West Ward in Napanee, were much startled to learn that a man was found lying dead in front of one of the coal oil cellars on a vacant lot. It turned out to be a Mr. Josiah Hawley, of Morven, a man about 60 years of age. It appears that Mr. Hawley, though a very temperate man usually, had been drinking some last evening, though not much the worst of liquor when last seen. He seems to have wandered off to the west part of the town and probably fell off the flat roof of the coal oil cellar where he came to his death. He was a man very respectably connected, and leaves a wife but no family. An inquest is being held before Coroner Huffman.

An Old Resident Gone

The death of Joseph C. Hawley, of South Fredericksburgh, resulted from an attack of congestion of the lungs. Mr. Hawley was 82 years of age, but up to a month prior to his death was in the enjoyment of excellent health. The Napanee Express says his funeral took place on Wednesday the place of interment being Bath. The deceased gentleman was a son of Davis Hawley, a U.E. Loyalist from New York State, who arrived in this country about 1870* and was among the first settlers of the district. He was the last of a family of nine, and was born on the farm where he resided up to the time of his death. Possessed of fine social qualities and a genial disposition he drew around him a large circle of friends, and it can be truthfully said of him that he had not an enemy. Though never taking a very active part in politics he was always a supporter of Reform principles, and by his good example in applying these principles to his every day walk he exerted a far-reaching influence for his party. He was for years an active member of the Canada Methodist Church, in which capacity he will probably be more greatly missed than in any other. He leaves behind him three sons - the late worthy member for the Local Legislature, C. and J.M. - all of whom are "worthy successors of a worthy sire." The daughters are Mrs. W.A. Gunn, of Kingston, and Misses Mary A. and Carrie Hawley, who reside on the homestead.
