MRS. ROBERT JACKSON – NAPANEE – Dec 15 – The sudden death
of Mrs. Robert Jackson, 79, of Morven, at the home of her son, John, at Bath
Saturday came as a shock to friends and relatives as she was believed to be
in good health. The funeral was
held at the St. Thomas church in Morven yesterday afternoon to Morven
Cemetery with Rev. S. Walker and Ven. Archdeacon R. J. Dumbrille officiating
at the service. Until four years ago, the deceased had lived on a farm in
Morven for over 40 years, and since that time had been living with her
daughter, Mrs. Claude Knight of Napanee. Formerly Emma Louise Irvine, she leaves one son, John, at
Bath, and three daughters, Mrs. C. H. Knight, Mrs. R. VanAlstyne of St.
Catharines, and Mrs. William Tompkins of Chinook, Alta. Her husband died four years ago in
Morven, and the deceased has been an active member of St. Thomas Church
during her lifetime. Messrs. Harry Spence, Lawrence Chadwick, Delbert Snider,
Harold Brandon, Matt Sheltor and Luke Young acted as pall-bearers. THE LATE MRS. ROBERT JACKSON – The sudden death of Mrs.
Robert Jackson occurred last Saturday at the home of her son, John Jackson,
Bath, where she had gone a few days before to spend a short time. Mrs. Jackson, since the death of her
husband, about five years ago, had made her home in Napanee with her
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Claude H. Knight. When she left town last Thursday, to
spend the week-end at the home of her son, she was apparently in her usual
state of good health., On Saturday morning, when she failed to rise at her
usual time and when members of the family went to her room they found she had
passed away. Later in the day
her body was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Knight in Napanee and on
Monday afternoon a short service was conducted at the house by Rev. L. G.
Osborne-Walker of Bath and Archdeacon Dumbrille of Napanee, after which a
public service was held at St. Thomas Church at Morven, followed by burial at
Morven Cemetery. Mrs. Jackson, who before her marriage was Emma Louise
Irwin, was born in England about 79 years ago. She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Irwin,
who came to Canada when Mrs. Jackson was about seven years of age and settled
at Milton, Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were married at Milton and came to
Morven about 45 years ago, where they farmed until Mr. Jackson’s death. Mrs. Jackson was an active member of
St. Thomas Anglican Church at Morven and was especially interested in the
work of the Women’s auxiliary. Mrs. Jackson leaves three daughters Mrs. C. H. Knight,
Napanee, Mrs. Reta Vanalstine, St. Catharines, and Mrs. W. J. Tompkins,
Alberta, and one son, John, at Bath. The pall-bearers at the funeral were Messrs Harry Spence,
Lawrence Chadwick, Debert Snider, Harold Brandon, Matthew Shetlor and Luke
Young. |

Jackson, M. J. |
OBITUARY - Mrs. I. S. Jackson In the early morn of the 4th day of April,
1929, in her eightieth year, there passed to her reward M. J. Booth, loved
wife of I. S. Jackson, and daughter of the late Wm. Booth, who emigrated from
Ireland in the early forties of the last century, and settled near the
Village of Roblin, in early days known as Spencer’s Mills, where the subject
of this sketch was born. Early
converted to God in a revival held under the administration of the late J. T.
Clark, of the old M. E. church.
She lived her whole life in the Township of Richmond, a truly
exemplary Christian life, one truly devoted to her Saviour. While not caring for too great an
activity in too many church organizations her religion was a profound and
lasting one, of all the essentials of a Christ-like life. Her home and duty thereof were her
palace. She was always ready to
help those in need and it was her delight to live a quiet unpretentious
exemplary Christian life, fully resigned when the end came. She leaves to mourn, her husband and
two daughters, Mrs. T. J. Russell and Mrs. Wilbert Winter, both of Empey
Hill, and two sons, Gardiner Wilson, near Selby, and Wm. Edwin on the
homestead. May she rest in
peace. |

Jacques, Elizabeth (nee

ELIZABETH JACQUES - Elizabeth, relict of the late Thomas Jacques,
and whose maiden name was Graham, was born in Fermanagh, Ireland, in
1828; was united in marriage to
her late husband in 1853, came to Canada in 1854, and settled in the township
of Arran, where they lived till death terminated their mortal career. They were brought up to the English
Church, but some twenty-seven years ago experienced renewing grace in a
protracted meeting held at Mount Hope, on this (Arkwright) circuit. They at once united with the
Methodist Church, of which they remained devoted members until death. Sister Jacques was remarked for her
affable manner, her kindly disposition, her mental activity, her tender
affection as a wife mother, and friend, and her self-forgetfulness to oblige others. To the writer she, in her last illness,
spoke of how great was her attachment to the public worship of God, and
especially the class meeting. In
the first of her illness - which was congestion of the lungs, and was very
brief - she said “her acceptance with God was not so clear as she would like
- that there were shadows between her and the Saviour. “ But, thank God, for several hours
before her death, which occurred Jan. 5th, 1885, the true light
shone upon her soul, the shadows fled, and she quietly fell asleep in
Jesus. May the surviving and
sorrowing family so live that they may have a happy meeting on the other side
the river. [signed] W.W.L. |

The Late Mr. Alex. Jayne Mr. Alex. Jane, elder son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James
A. Jayne, passed away on Saturday evening, January 30, 1937 in Kingston
General Hospital. Although ill with
pneumonia for six weeks, his physicians still held out hopes for his
recovery, so his sudden death came as a shock to his relatives and friends. Alex. was of a cheerful disposition. His smiling countenance and humorous
expressions won for him a good many friends in Adolphustown, where he
formerly resided and in the Napanee district. Besides the bereaved wife, he leaves to mourn his loss,
one brother, Mr. John Jayne, Camden East and five sisters, Mrs. C. Kellar,
Deseronto Rd., Mrs. W. E. Nolan, Hay Bay, Mrs. William McConnell and the
Misses Electa and Etta Jayne, of Sharp’s Corners. The funeral service, which was held at his residence, a
short distance north of Napanee was well attended by neighbours and
friends. His pastor, Rev. W. E.
L. Smith, who had visited him during his illness consoled the bereaved
friends with his comforting message, while Mr. Ward Wartman sang by request
“Some Day We’ll Understand.”
Then the funeral cortege proceeded on its way to Riverview Cemetery,
where interment was made in the family plot. The pall-bearers were Messrs Bidwell, Kimmett, Geo

Jeffrey, Jane (nee
Austin) |
JANE AUSTIN JEFFREY - In Winnipeg, August 26th, while visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. M. Jeffrey, of Plympton, Man., died after a few
days’ illness. She was born in County Down, Ireland, September 23rd,
1826 her maiden name being Austin. February 21st, 1847, she
married Mr. M. Jeffrey, with whom she emigrated the same year to the township
of Fitzroy, County Carleton, Ont., where were born to them three sons and
four daughters, and where they buried one son and two daughters. After a residence there of twenty
eight years they removed to the township of Plympton, Man., where Mrs. J.
enjoyed the distinction of being the first lady settler. Here they prospered, and had all the
comforts of an Ontario home. We
rejoice to be able to record more than mere earthly prosperity. Though the subject of this notice,
with her husband, had been brought up as Presbyterians, they had not
experienced the new birth until 1862 in a revival conducted by Revs. Case,
Hayhurst and Gable, they were both converted to God, and joined the Methodist
Church, of which they have since been honored members. Mrs. J. was intensely religious;
placing her Christian duties in the forefront, she sought to “crown Christ
Lord of all,” the realm of her affection and ambition, and became, what seems
to be unusual here, a breakwater against the all-whelming tide of
worldliness. The family altar through all these years has been the
sheet-anchor of their home religion in every storm. When her husband was absent, though diffident and
retiring, yet in loyalty to her Master the family Bible was taken down, and
the family and others, if present, were regularly and devoutly led in their
devotions. When through “often
infirmities” in later years she could rarely be induced to leave her home for
other purposes, yet more rarely could she be induced to stay at home from the
means of grace. In the class
meeting which she loved, her rich, ripe testimony to the goodness of God and
the sufficiency of his grace betokened frequent and close communion with God. The enterprise and liberality of this family, and their
love to Methodism, largely led to the formation of Plympton Methodist
Mission. Theirs was the home of our first missionaries. The body of the deceased was removed
to her late residence, Aug. 27th, and on the 28th, a
large concourse of friends from the city and surrounding townships assembled
to sadly commit her body to its resting place in Sunnyside cemetery. A sorrowing husband, two daughters
and a son survive and deeply mourn their loss, but brightly anticipate a
blissful reunion in the better country. A sermon full of consolation and Christian hope and
triumph was preached from the favorite Psalm xxiii of the deceased by her
pastor, S. O. IRVINE |

Laurie Jellet Dies of Wounds – Word has been received of
the death of Laurie Jellet, an Edmonton boy 27 years of age, who went
overseas early in the war with the 66th Battalion. The notice was to the effect that he
died of wounds on Jan. 28th.
He was the eldest son of St. George Jellet of Edmonton and was among
the first to join the colors at the outbreak of war. Few Edmonton boys were better known
in that city than he, and the enlistment of many of his friends was due to
his example. Ewan Jellett, a
younger brother of the deceased, is now a prisoner in Germany. Laurie Jellet was a grandson of the late Judge Jellet and nephew of
Mrs. D.J. Baker. |

JOHNSON – At Adolphustown, on Sunday, Nov 5, Helen Catherine
Johnson, aged 48 years and 11 months. A very sad event occurred at the home of the late Thomas
Trumpour, Adolphustown, Nov. 5th, when his only daughter Helen,
wife of J. Johnson, departed this life on her journey to the better
land. She had been suffering for
some time with cancer in the stomach, and finally, she whom we had learned to
love for her patient and pure life, was called to her final rest on Sunday
evening Nov. 5th at 9 o’clock. The deceased was one of our best known and respected citizens. She enjoyed a large circle of
acquaintances and she was loved and held in the highest esteem by all who
knew her. The removal of such a
life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that is deeply realized by
her many friends in this community, but while we mourn the loss we have
sustained, we humbly submit to the will of our Father, who has taken her
away. Our loss is her gain, for
a beautiful life never ends in death.
Her life’s work is done, she has passed to her final rest and while
tender memories of her virtues linger, we trust that the star that is gone,
the light of whose going makes our night, makes somewhere else a day for her.
The funeral was held at the U.E.L. Episcopal church, where a very impressive
service was conducted by the Rev. Canon Roberts. A large procession of relatives and friends escorted the
remains to the church after which the remains were taken to Napanee and
placed in the vault. The people
of this place and vicinity extend to the bereaved family their deepest sympathy
in this their sad hour of affliction.
While their home is made desolate by the shadow of death, our
community has been deprived of a most faithful friend and an honest Christian
worker. |

THE LATE J. S. JOHNSTON - The funeral of the late Jesse Shibley
Johnston, was held at his late home, Dorland, on Saturday afternoon, and was

the Council and officials of the County of Lennox and Addington. The service was conducted by Rev.
G. W. Gardiner, Minister of the United Church at Adolphustown and burial

Until in early life he lived in Bath and later spent a number of years

Dorland, where he continued to live until his death. For quite a number of years he was a
member of the Township Council of Adolphustown and for ten years was Reeve. In 1923 he was honored by his
associates in the County council by being elected as Warden of the
County. He retired from
municipal life on account of ill-health. Mr. Johnston was twice married. His first wife, Helen Trumpour, died
many years ago. She left two
sons, Roy, who survives and lives at Dorland and Thomas, who passed away some
years ago. While living in
Watertown, N.Y., Mr. Johnston married as his second wife, Mrs. Smith, a
former resident of Kemptville, Ont., who also survives him. He leaves also, one sister, Mrs.
Gilbert, in Toronto, and a brother, James Johnston, in Florida. The pall-bearers at the funeral were
former associates of Mr. Johnston when he was a member of the County
Council. They were Messrs. W. H.

disposition and never murmured or complained during her illness, and was
much beloved by her relatives
and friends. She leaves to mourn
her loss her young husband, her wee son, father, mother, two brothers, and
one sister. The Rev. Mr. Pringle spoke a few short impressive words

He was one of the first settlers in this Country after the American

Loyalty to His King and attachment to his country were strong traits in his
character; having served his
Majesty faithfully for 60 years;
and during that period through three wars. He was at the reduction of Canada in the years 59 and 60
and two succeeding wars; he had
many highly valuable qualities - a kind friend a generous benefactor, and the
poor was never known to go empty away from his hospitable door; he will be much lamented by all his

H. |
WILLIAM H. JOHNSTON - Was born in Peel township, county of Wellington, in the
year 1852, and died at his home on June 4th, 1885. He was converted when a youth of
seventeen or eighteen, from which event he lived a devoted and consistent
life until the Lord took him.
About the latter part of the winter of 1884, during a revival service
held by Revs. Sherlock and Kennedy, he sought and found the blessing of
perfect love; he consecrated his all fully to the Lord and entered into the
rest of faith. From that point
his Christian character was marked by a steady and rapid development, as a
result of his devotion to God and zeal for his glory. He found a helpmeet in his Christian
life and work in one Miss E. Watson, to whom he was united in marriage on
July 9th, 1884, and who is now so shortly called upon to mourn
their separation. But it is only
for a time. She is being
comforted by divine grace and a hope of heaven. Brother Johnston was one of our most promising men. Rising rapidly in the esteem and
confidence of his brethren, and being a man of rather more than ordinary
ability, he was appointed to several positions of usefulness and
responsibility, the last of which was a place on the local preachers’ plan by
the Official Board at its last meeting before he died. The Church anticipated many years of
useful service from him, but her great Head has ordered it otherwise. We bow in submission and say, “Thy
will be done.” [signed] T.

Jones, Mrs.
James W. |
Extract of a letter, dated Ernest Town, Wednesday morning,
2 o’clock, Feb. 17th, 1819 Mr. James W. Jones expected to have been in town on
Saturday, but repeated disappointments prevented him. Last night he went up to the widow
Williams’s (about 3 miles above the village) intending to remain there until
the morning, then to take a horse from thence and go down to Kingston. About 12 o’clock, I was waked by shrieks of some one passing my
window, calling to me something (I know not what) about fire. As I opened my eyes, I perceived the
room brightly lighted, and, at first, thought it must be our own house
enveloped in flame. I sprang
from bed, and saw, from the window, Mr. Jones’s house covered with sheets of
fire. The same moment, his
daughter, Julia (about 12 years
of age) opened the kitchen door, and told us her mother was in the house. We ran over. The front part of the house shewed no
fire. Mr. Wilcox caught a board,
burst open the door, and stepped to enter, when the upper floor came down
with a dreadful crash, and a volume of smoke and flame, bursting out, drove
him back. The building was now
enclosed in an awful conflagration, and we were forced to stand by, and gaze
on the scene, silent, awe-struck and inactive. Julia says, they went to bed about 9 o’clock. She and a little sister, a year or
two old, slept with her mother, in the bed room at the end of the front
room. Her mother put two or
three green sticks and some kindling wood into the stove. She was waked by her mother, standing
by the bed side, screaming to her; pointing to the kitchen filled with flame,
and exclaiming, “see the fire!”
She opened the kitchen door, to try if she could get to her little
daughters in the other bed room;
and, at the same time, told Julia to spring out of the window, which
she did. She saw her mother shut
the kitchen door, and thinks she threw something over the window, as if to
keep the air from drawing through.
But perhaps it was smoke.
At all events, she turned to take the child from the bed. Julia ran round to the window of the
room, where her other two sisters slept, but the flame prevented her from
entering or looking in; and when
she returned to the front window, she could see nothing of her mother. We can now distinguish Mrs. Jones’s remains lying near
where the bed stood; but have
not yet attempted to remove them.
The scene is dreadful. I
never witnessed any event, which cast so heavy a gloom over my feelings. |

Kennedy, Dr.
Roderick |
On March 15th , 1911, Dr. Roderick Kennedy, for
many years a useful and highly respected citizen of Bath, passed peacefully
away, in the General Hospital, Kingston. He was born at Cumberland House, on
the Saskatchewan River, July 8th 1822 and was therefore in his 89th year. He was the
youngest son of Alexander Kennedy, Chief Factor of the Hudson Bay Company, at
Cumberland House. His brother, John was surgeon of the Hudson Bay Company at
Fort Simpson on the Pacific Coast and represented the District of Nanaimo, in
the first Parliament of British Columbia when Sir James Douglas was Governor.
His brother, William, was a daring and skilful navigator in the northern
seas. In 1854, when Lady Franklin fitted out an expedition to go in search of
her husband, Sir John, she selected Captain William Kennedy to command the
expedition in the ship Prince Albert. He spent the winters of 1854-5 in the
Arctic Seas, and always believed that the expedition would have been
successful in finding what became of Sir John Franklin and his comrades, but
for the sad loss of Lieutenant Belat, who commanded the other ship, in an ice
crevass. A third brother, George, carried on business for a number of years
in the early days in Kingston. |

Kerr, Andrew
A. |
DEATH'S HARVEST - ANDREW A. KERR - Sunday morning, Nov. 17th 1901, Andrew A. Kerr, one of our
esteemed citizens, died of Chronic Bright's disease at his late residence in
North Marysburgh. Though a sufferer from the disease for about ten years he
was able to manage his business, except for the last few months, when
confined to his house the rapid change in his condition gave evidence that
the end was not far distant. His illness and death were the cause of deep
regret among his friends, many of whom cherished fond hopes of his recovery
during several years after the symptoms of the disease first appeared.
Deceased was the eldest son of Wm. Kerr, Esq., who still survives him, and
Catherine McDonnell, the other surviving members being J. J. Kerr, merchant,
London; Mrs. David, Picton; Mrs. Wright, Conway. He was born in North
Marysburgh 47 years ago, received a liberal education at the public school, managed
the homestead for a number of years, when he disposed of the farm and became
a general dealer in fruit, stock, etc., with considerable success. The
testimony of all who had business with or knew him, is that he was a man of
ability, honor and strict integrity, a quiet, peace-loving neighbor, a
dutiful son, loving husband and father, a consistent member of the church.
Faithful and devoted in his services at St. John's Anglican Church, having
filled each place of official honor. His presence and help will be greatly
missed by the congregation. The funeral services were conducted at St. John's
Church, by the Rev. Canon Loucks, assisted by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Irvine;
the Canon delivering an able and appropriate sermon, full of sympathy and
consolation for the bereaved family and friends. The A.O.U.W. and Foresters
Orders, of which he was a member, having been Financial Secretary of Court,
Waupoos, since its charter, in procession accompanied the funeral cortege to
the Church, thence to the Cemetery, and after the beautiful church burial
service was read by Rev. Canon Loucks, the burial service and rites of the
orders at the grave were conducted by the proper officers and brethren.
Deceased leaves a widow and four daughters who have the sympathy of their many
friends in this time of trial and bereavement. |

King, Arthur
Ross |
OBITUARY - Arthur Ross King It has been a long time since such widespread sorrow has
been so keenly felt and expressed as that caused by the death of the late
Arthur Ross King, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert King on Wednesday Sept. 1st,
1915. He had been engaged all
summer drawing milk from his home at Fifth Lake to Enterprise cheese
factory. And on Wednesday
morning while going down a hill near Mrs. J. Burgess’ residence, about two
miles north of Enterprise, some part of the harness broke, and in trying to
save his load of milk, he lost his ballance and fell under the horses
feet. He was picked up by
friends near by and was taken in Mrs. Burgess’ home, and Dr. Horton was
summoned immediately. But it was
learned that he had sustained injuries from which he could not recover, and
he passed peacefully away at 5:30 p.m.
The deceased was in his 27th year. His pleasant smile and jolly jokes
were always heard on every side when he was present. He was liked by the old as well as
the young and was held in the highest respect by all. He was always on hand to do all he
could in time of need. This was
one of the saddest funerals that moved out from behind the hills in this
locality in many years and will long be remembered. Gone, Arthur, but not forgotten. Your good works and days of toil, your loving, cheery
words cannot leave us, although you are not with us. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the much bereaved parents, brothers and sisters, and we trust that God will
constantly visit them now while their cup of sorrow is running over, and
comfort them in their hour of need.
The remains were followed by a large concourse of friends to the
Methodist Church at Fifth Lake, on Friday, where a very impressive sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr. Kemp, taking for his text John 11:35 “Jesus wept” The remains were afterwards placed in
the cemetery there. Deceased was
a member of the L.O.L., Enterprise, and was buried under that Order. |

Death at Perth – On Friday last there departed Alex Kippen,
Sr., aged ninety years and nine months, the oldest man in Perth. Mr. Kippen
has enjoyed unusually good health I his old days until grippe fastened itself
upon him, and the attack proved fatal.

to Canada with his family in 1832, his wife being Miss Catherine Walker. Mr. Kippen was a builder by trade,
and among his earliest jobs in town was finishing the McMartin mansion, while
all over town some of the best buildings in it could point to him as their
constructor. He was a member of the old Free church since the disruption and
before that of the Church of Scotland, and died an elder in Knox church. He leaves a family of six children,
Duncan Kippen, mayor, being the eldest. |

Kirkpatrick, George
Airey |
THE LATE SIR GEORGE AIREY KIRKPATRICK – Sir George Airey
Kirkpatrick was born in Kingston, Ont., 13th September, 1841 and
was the fourth son of the late Thos. Kirkpatrick. Q.C., who came from
Coolmine. County Dublin, Ireland.
Mr. Kirkpatrick received part of his education at the Grammar School,
Kingston, and the High School, St. Johns, P.Q.; after which he was sent to
Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated with high honours, receiving the
degrees of B.A. and L.L. B.; he also graduated as moderator and silver
medallist for law., literature and political economy. Returning home, he entered his
father’s office, and there applied himself to a diligent study of the law,
and was called to the bar of Upper Canada and was appointed Queen’s Counsel
on the 11th October, 1880.
He received from his alma mater, in June, 1884, the degree of
L.L.D. In military
affairs, Mr. Kirkpatrick had always taken an active part, entering as a
private during the Trent affair, and rose step by step in the ranks until he
reached the highest command, that of Lieut.-Colonel. He went again into active service in
the town of Cornwall, during the Fenian invasion, and acted during that
period as adjutant to the 14th P.W.O. Battalion. He was elected
President of the Dominion Rifle Association, and also commanded the Wimbledon
Rifle team in 1876. In
commercial life Mr. Kirkpatrick had always had the advancement of his native
city at heart, and had been one of the foremost in founding several of its
most important works. A large
number of his friends, perceiving his marked abilities and being anxious that
they should be employed for the benefit of his country in some legislative
sphere, waited upon him and pressed upon him to allow himself to be put in
nomination for the seat in the House of Commons made vacant by the death of
his father. This was in the year
1870, and Mr. Kirkpatrick’s father had for many years represented
Frontenac. Mr. Kirkpatrick was
returned, and the electorate which had felt such confidence in their young
representative were soon convinced that their forecasting had been correct,
for he at once manifested the same excellent intellectual qualities in public
which he had shown in his private affairs. Whenever he arose in the House it was for the purpose of
accomplishing something important, and when he spoke attention was given to
him. His manner was never
repellent, but always gathered support, his bearing being dignified, kindly,
but firm and uncompromising.
Soon men about the Treasury benches began to say one to another that
Mr. Kirkpatrick’s day for some positioning the Government was drawing
near. Meanwhile he had given his
time to legislative measures, and it was he who introduced the measure which
aimed at securing a lien for seamen’s wages on vessels plying on inland
waters. Year after year he introduced his measure, until eventually it found
expression in Mr. Blake’s Maritime court Act for Ontario. How important Mr. Kirkpatrick’s
measure was is now apparent to the public, and sailors on inland seas
regarded him justly as their benefactor. As already stated, Mr. Kirkpatrick was first returned to
the House of commons for Frontenac in 1870. At the general elections of 1872, he was returned by
acclamation; again returned in
1874; in 1878, and by acclamation
at the general election, which followed. Perceiving his courtesy, dignity and address and his acute
knowledge of Parliamentary procedure, he was elected Speaker on the 8th
of February, 1883. As a Speaker
he was dignified, impartial and effective; and always held the reins of the
House with a firm hand. He was
married first on the 25th of October, 1865 to Miss Frances Jane,
daughter of the late Hon. John Macaulay. She died on the 20th of January, 1877. He married again on the 26th
of September, 1883, Miss Isabel Louisa, youngest daughter of the Hon. Sir
David L. Macpherson, Senator. In
politics, Mr. Kirkpatrick was always a Liberal-Conservative. In religion he was a member of the
Church of England. Mr.
Kirkpatrick sat in the House of Commons until 1892, being Speaker until 1887. In 1892, his seat was rendered vacant
by his accepting the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, upon the death
of Sir Alex Campbell. He had
four sons and one daughter by his first wife, and one son by his second wife
– all living. Mr. Kirkpatrick
left Toronto for England on the 16th of November, 1896. [**Clipping is cut off **] |

Kyes, Lizzie
R. (nee
Perry) |
Born At Violet in 1860, Dies in U.S. - Mrs. Lizzie R. Kyes, a native of this area, died October 1
in Riverside, California, a week after reaching her 100th
birthday. She was born at Violet where her United Empire Loyalist
parents lived on a Crown grant.
At her birth there was a mill on the farm whose foundations still
exist. She was the former Eliza
Perry and her father, Daniel, was a cousin of the American naval hero,
Commodore Oliver H. Perry. Her
mother’s maiden name was Comer. Mrs. Kyes moved to Riverside from Kansas in 1879, making
the transcontinental trip by train and the last lap of the journey by
stagecoach. At that time she had
a sister, Mrs. M. B. VanFleet, whose husband was the first Wells Fargo agent
in Riverside. Born on September 25, 1860, Mrs. Kyes was married
Christmas Day, 1879, to H. P. Kyes, an orange grower, and was active in the
community life of Riverside for 81 years. On her 100th birthday
she received congratulations from President Eisenhower. When Grandma Moses celebrated her 100th
birthday, Mrs. Kyes sent her congratulations and received a reply, while she
was in hospital. Among the
survivors is a daughter, Vera B. Kyes, an artist, who lived with her mother. Mrs. Kyes was a charter member of the women’s Christian
Temperance Union and belonged to Grace Methodist Church. For 10 years every Christmas she used
to collect and repair dolls and send them to children in the mountains of
Kentucky. One year she sent
500. For many of these
youngsters they were the only dolls they ever saw. She began this hobby in 1941 and in later years sent
crocheted baby jackets and booties to Kentucky. Sixty years ago Mrs. Kyes and her daughter visited Mrs.
Kyes’ sister, Mrs Ryerson Gardiner, the former Mercy Perry, at Violet. |
