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, Jane

Ingersoll) |
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. |

Ham, George |
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. |

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.

Hart, Florence (nee

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. |

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

Hartin, John |
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. |

Hawkins, 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. |

said she had no preparations to make and urged her nurses and those around
her to meet her in Heaven. Mrs.
Heazlitt was a bright, beautiful, consistent, happy Christian, continually
letting her light shine for the glory of her Master. As a Sabbath School Superintendent she was
faithful and beloved. |

unexpectedly at his home at Lime Lake early on Sunday morning, February 21st. Although in his 82nd year, Mr.

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. |

to cut a piece of meat, when his wife interfered to prevent him, and in a
playful manner struck his arm with the gamble stick and then retreated
towards the house. He immediately
pursued, and seizing her plunged the butcher knife into her side, from which
wound she died the following Friday.
The murderer was immediately arrested and is now lodged in jail at

Hepburn, Robert
Grant Keith |
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. Jack Johnson of Buffalo, N.Y., and
Will Johnson of Lockport, N.Y. and Miss Dorothy Johnson of Belleville,
brothers and sisters of Mrs. Hepburn were at the funeral. Interment in Glenwood cemetery. |

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. CROUTER |

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. |

1922, at his father’s home, Camden East, of James Leo Hinch, third son of
James Hinch. In spite of loving care
and attention, he grew gradually weaker.
During his illness he was continually cheered and comforted by his
many friends for whom he always had a welcome smile. He was born July 19th, 1886,
and his early demise at the age of 36 years, leaves its desolute sting in the
hearts of his relatives who cannot yet realize that they will see him no
more. The funeral took place on
Friday morning to the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, where a solemn Requiem
Mass was sung for the repose of his soul, by Rev. 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. |

wherever she was known. The funeral
was held at her late residence, on March 18, and was conducted by her pastor,
assisted by the Rev. R. W. Weymour, who preached from the 7th
chapter of Revelations, the last five verses. The love and esteem of her friends was demonstrated by the
large number of floral tributes which surrounded the beautiful casket. Deceased leaves to mourn her loss her
sorrowing husband, one son and one granddaughter, on the homestead besides
two brothers, Henry Wood of Brandon and J. C. Wood of Peterborough, and one
sister, Mrs. Edgar Taylor of Sharpton, Ont., and a number of nieces and

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.” |

John (nee
Furse) |
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. |

Horsey, Emma (nee

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. |

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." |

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,

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

bereaved. – Kingston Standard. Miss

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. |

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. |

Huff, Rachel |
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. |

Huffman, Henry |
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. The body was deposited in the Morven vault, and will be interred in
the Violet cemetery beside that of his wife and other relatives. |

Huffman, Henry
Neely |
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. |

Huffman, Hiram |
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. Mr. Huffman was married in early
life to Miss Elizabeth Amey, of Ernesttown, who died some years ago. He
leaves to mourn his loss two sons and three daughters, Ezra, on the old
homestead; James of Prince Edward County; Mrs. B. Steinburg, of Trenton; Mrs.
Arthur Loyst, South Fredericksburgh, and Mrs. John Brown, Hay Bay, besides
one brother Edward, of Richmond and four sisters, Mrs. Daniel Outwater and
Mrs. A. Pringle, of Napanee; Mrs. Jesse Amey, Ernestown, and Mrs. John Sills,
of South Fredericksburgh, and many dear friends who will deeply mourn his
departure. 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. |

She remained there until the time of her passing. Marion played an active
role in the operation of the family farm with her husband prior to his death.
She continued her farm interest with her two sons Arthur and David for a

a supervisory position. Marion continued as a member of the Ontario Nursing
Association during her retirement years. She was very community minded, a
life long member of the United Church of Canada, president of several women's
organizations such as the WMS, UCW, and the WI (former) district president.
She had the honour of being made a life member of Moscow Women's Institute.
During her retirement years, Marion enjoyed taking trips, knitting, candle
making, cooking and quilt making and activity in which she had great
expertise. Visits with family, friends, and relatives were of great importance
to her. She was predeceased by her husband William in 1951, son Arthur in
1997 and great granddaughter Maggie MacLaughlin in February 2000. Marion is
survived by her son David (Charlene) Moscow, and daughter in law, Marion

Huffman, Mary
Anne (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. |

S. B. |
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. |

Amos |
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. |

Hughes, Eliza
Jane (nee
Doupe) |
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. |

Hughes, Marion |
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.
