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. |

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
Graham) |
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]

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 Sampson, James McCaren, Charles Vanalstyne,

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 |

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. |

Sills) |
In Hallowell, on Tuesday the 17th inst., Flora Hellen,
wife of Joseph Johnson and daughter of the Rev. George Sills of
Fredericksburgh, aged 22 years, the 2nd of September next. Died - In Hallowell, on Tuesday, the 17th
instant, Flora Helen, wife of Mr. Joseph Johnson, and daughter of the Rev. George Sills of
Fredericksburgh, aged 22 years the 2nd of September next. The subject of this memoir was awakened to
her lost estate, at the first Camp Meeting held in Adolphustown; and in a prayer meeting a few days after,
while pleading with God in prayer of the blessing of pardon, God in mercy,
spoke peace to her soul. She
immediately connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has
since that period given satisfactory evidence of the genuineness of her
character. She has found through all
the vicissitudes of this life, the Religion of Jesus Christ to be her support
and comfort - and that God who had supported her in the hour of trial, difficulty
and affliction, did not forsake her in the hour of death. When reduced by affliction and approaching
the verge of Eternity, the triumphs of Christianity shone in all their splendor. She
experienced and enjoyed the faith and patience of the saints. - could talk of
death and Eternity with the confidence of an apostle, when he said, "I
have a desire to depart, I have fought the good fight." A few hours previous to her departure, she
called to her bed side, a neighbor for whom she
felt much esteem, and after exhorting him to seek the Lord, she asked him, "now
neighbor S---- will you set out and serve the
Lord?" Upon his answering in the
affirmative, she said, "One thing more," "will you pray in your
family?" Upon his hesitating to
comply with her request, she earnestly repeated the solicitation, and
appeared unwilling to leave him without a positive answer. He at length replied that he would, upon
which, with a voice that astonished all present, she cried out, "Glory,
glory, glory." She then gave
directions respecting her funeral, and observing her friends weeping, she
said, "weep not for me, for I am going to glory." She requested them to lay her out plain and
decent, and not to shed a tear at her bed side, or at the grave; she then requested all present to pray and
praise God, "bid all my friends farewell," said she,
"and tell my youngest brother to set out and prepare to meet me
in glory." A few moments before
she expired, she said, "lay me straight, I am going to Glory," and
then without a sigh, struggle, or groan, fell asleep in her blessed Redeemer. A funeral discourse on this solemn and
interesting occasion, was preached by the Rev. T. Bevitt,
from Revelation 14th chap. 13th verse, "And I heard a voice from Heaven
saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from
Henceforth, Yea, saith the spirit that they may
rest from their labours and their works shall follow them" a text which she selected for that purpose. The writer of this memoir, is well aware of
his inability to do justice to the deceased, or her surviving friends, Not
being present at her death, and having collected a few only of her dying
expressions, he is obliged to leave out many, which was truly interesting and
encouraging, and highly characteristic of the blessedness of her state. Here is sufficient, however, for him to
say, let the Sceptic doubt, and let the Infidel mock, but let me "die
the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." P.V.E.

Johnson, Helen
Catherine (nee
Trumpour) |
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. |

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]

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
