Mabee, who died at his home in Odessa late Tuesday morning, will be conducted at his residence Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock (D.S.T.) Interment will be at Cataraqui Cemetery and a Masonic service will be held. The death of Dr. Mabee removed the oldest practising physician in this part of the country for it was for 53 years that Dr. Mabee practised his profession, always at Odessa. For 52 years of that he was medical health officer of the Township of Ernestown, a record believed to be unequalled anywhere in Canada. The late Dr. Mabee was born May 22, 1851, in the Township of Louth, near Beamsville, the son of Thomas Mabee of Prince Edward County and Amanda Tinlin of Beamsville. The family moved to Odessa when Dr. Mabee was six years old and outside of the time he was in attendance at Queen’s University, he had resided in Odessa. He was educated there, going on to Queen’s University in the medical school from which he graduated in 1887. He went right back to Odessa, bought out the practice of Dr. Thomas Beeman, started in to practise medicine and continued there ever since. Dr. Mabee was known all over the countryside. He was a friend and counsellor to the great majority of the people of the community and not only attended to their medical and surgical needs but shared their troubles and joys. He was the typical family doctor, confidant and thoroughly interested friend, all rolled into one. Despite his long years of practice, he had not actually retired from the profession, though of late he had not done extensive work. He was ill in bed only a little more than a week. He had been in Bloomfield on August 9 to see his first cousin, P.A. Mabee, whose wife died last May. They had been married 77 years. Honored Doctor - Dr. Mabee was a member of the Frontenac Medical Association and the Lennox and Addington Medical Association. He was a life member of the Ontario Medical Association. Three years ago he was honoured by the Frontenac Medical Society when he had completed fifty years of medical practice. A dinner was tendered in his honor at the Kingston General Hospital and he was presented with a gold-headed cane and the warm congratulations of members of the medical profession. He was a member of the Independent Order of Foresters, Chosen Friends, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Prince Arthur Masonic Lodge, all of Odessa. He was also a member of the Eastern Star. During the first World War he took a keen interest in the work of the Red Cross and played a leading part of the activities of the Red Cross in the Odessa district. The deceased doctor had also taken an active interest in the militia in his younger days and succeeded Lt.-Col. Cox of Enterprise as commanding officer of the old 47^th Regiment, which had a company in Odessa. He was a member of the United Church. He married twice. His first wife was Frances Storms of Odessa, who died in 1888. To this union were born one son, Dr. Horace Mabee, William Street, Kingston, and one daughter, Grace, who died at the age of 16 years. Dr. Mabee married Beatrice Decker of Whitby in 1903, who survives.	1940 Newspaper Clipping (submitted)

A. Mackenzie, passed peacefully to rest, at the Medical Missions Training School, Rochester, N.Y., on Friday morning. She had been ill but a few hours, with that treacherous disease, pneumonia, when she said to those with her that she thought she would go to sleep.

Madden, James	JAMES MADDEN - Was born in Belleville in the year 1852, and died at Chatham, Ont., Dec. 19^th, 1885. He was a brother of the late Rev. C.C. Madden, of the London Conference Methodist Church of Canada. Bro. Madden was blessed with truly Christian parents, and during his childhood was surrounded by holy influences; at the age of nine years he was converted at a camp meeting, held at Kingston, and from that time rejoiced in the evidence of his acceptance through the Precious Blood. The writer became acquainted with Bro. Madden while stationed at Chatham, where he was attending high school His thought and aspirations then were toward the Methodist ministry. As a student he was earnest, and his Christian example produced good effect. Through change of circumstances he was unable to pursue his studies. He removed to the North - West, and engaged in evangelistic work. On his return to Chatham he found the Salvation Army at work, he saw then a field for service, and joined the ranks; his promotion was rapid. He became staff-captain and divisional officer of the Kingston Division. His subsequent career, including his persecution and imprisonment at Montreal, has been freely noticed in the Army papers. Bro. Madden fell a prey to consumption and his death no doubt was hastened by hard work and exposure. He was sick for nearly twelve months. He bore his illness with marked patience and resignation. On being asked if Jesus was precious he replied “His presence fills the room.” His end was peace; without a sigh or groan he fell asleep in Jesus. “He was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost.” [signed] G.R.T.

Manion, Annie (nee Gleason)	Mrs. John Manion - Death once again has caused a widespread sorrow throughout this community, on February 9^th last, also around her native country where she was born, in the person of Mrs. John Manion, formerly Miss Annie Gleason. She was of a loveable disposition, a person of rare Christian virtues, whose life was an adornment, which dignified the sacred position of a wife and mother, a holy life studded thick and fair with earthly deeds. She was a young woman, whose future life seemed to be foreshadowed with every happiness, as her home seemed to always have a ray of bright sunshine within, no matter how dark it seemed outside. She was great of soul with a keen intelligence, a generous heart, a loyal and energetic disposition, with an unshakable will, she being the kind of a mother we all love to admire. Her kindness and strength of character endeared her not only to her family, but also to the many friends whom she always treated in a cordial manner. Her company was always agreeable and attractive, and many were the tributes heard to her womanly character and staunch faith; also messages of grief and regret heard on all sides. So we all send prayerful sympathy to her dear family, especially her mother and sisters and poor dear little children, who have ever been the object of her tender care and attention. So may her Blessed Mother console these in her tender and loving way, until time gives pleasure to the love that they all will enjoy together for all eternity. The kindness of the neighbours is to be remembered since her death offering a helping hand in different ways. the same was with herself, no sacrifice was too great for her to show her good will in giving a helping hand to any one who stood in need of it. Her funeral took place on Tuesday to St. Patrick’s Church, where a solemn High Mass was sung by her Priest Father McDonald, who administered the last rites of her Church to her on her dying bed. The many spiritual offerings, numbering sixty-seven, bore testimony of the esteem in which the deceased was held.	Scrapbook Clipping
Manion, Ida May	MANION - At Richmond, on Saturday, February 9^th, 1929, Annie Manion, aged 42 years and 8 months. OBITUARY - Miss Ida May Manion - Many hearts were saddened and shocked on Monday morning, July 10^th, when word was received that Ida Manion had passed peacefully away to the Great Beyond, at her beautiful home, near Selby, after a lingering illness, although for several years she had been failing in health, the last two months being very trying. Despite all that loving hands and medical skill could do to prolong her earthly flight, she passed away with a perfect resignation to God’s will. Her sufferings were very intense by times, but she bore them with great patience and cheerfulness with a courage seldom exceeded. It seems so hard to see a sweet young life like Ida’s cut off in the prime. It seems so strange about a month ago her friends were summoned to her bedside, fearing the end was near, but with wonderful recuperative power she rallied again, and seemed much better in health, but a sudden change later on seemed to follow, and terminated in her death. She was a member of the League of the Sacred Heart and Altar Society. She was also a member of the Women’s League, in which she was always much interested. She was very fond of music and flowers, and enjoyed the association of her friends. The funeral took place Wednesday morning to St. Patrick’s Church, Napanee, where a solemn requiem mass was sung by Reverend Father O’Connor for the repose of her soul. Her beautiful casket had a number of religious offerings from her friends. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Frank Denison, Shirley Lewis, Jack Donovan, John Manion, Tom Manion and Mr. Bradshaw.	1929 Scrapbook Clipping

Marlin, Richie M.	KILLED IN ACTION - PTE. R. M. MARLIN - Pte. Richie M. Marlin was born in Hungerford, Ont., February 16^th, 1897, and died on the field of France, April 9^th, 1917. Pte. Marlin 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 in which he lived. Richie 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 on Sunday, June 24^th, in Ebenezer Church. The church was crowded with sympathizing friends, and the address was given by his Pastor, Rev. J. F. Everson, and was full of sympathy and patriotism. It was a masterly address from the text, Matthew 10:39, “He that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” He threw his living breast to stem the German tide, This volunteer from Canada he as veteran tried. He met the boast of William’s host, He met them hand to hand, This volunteer from Canada, This boy of 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.	1917 Scrapbook Clipping

Marshall, Mary A. (nee Merrett)	MARY A. MERRETT - The beloved wife of Israel Marshall, died in the Lord August 20^th, 1885, at their residence, Caistor township, aged forty years five months and twelve days. Our sister was married to him that now mourns his loss for nineteen years. The gap that death has made is great, as there are eight of an offspring left behind, and a part of whom are very tender in days and years, and need much care. The departed sister was brought to God at the early age of twelve years, and has been a member of the Church ever since. In early life the servants of God made their home at her father’s house. And it was no doubt a source of comfort to her to remember the fervent prayers that were offered for her in early life by the missionaries that scattered the Gospel truths through this part of the work. Her aged father passed on before her some five years, and will greet her on the other shore. For some ten years our departed sister has been in an uncertain state of health, and been thus reminded that her end was somewhat nigh. Rev. Mr. Kennedy visited and prayed with her, and gave testimony at the funeral of her bright prospects for the land of the holy. Though much desired, her useful life could not be spared. Her remains are deposited in the graveyard at Ker Church; but her spirit is with Christ. The funeral was large, and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Duff and Rev. Mr. Kennedy. The pastor discoursed from the words, “All flesh is as grass.” Many tokens were shown by those present of their deep respect that they had for Sister Marshall. May her family and neighbors meet her in heaven, when our toils are over. [signed] E. Whitworth.	Sept 16 1885 The Christian Guardian

Martin, Robert	ROBERT MARTIN - Robert Martin of Camden, born in the village of Newburg in the early fifties, died at his residence at the age of 85. Having contracted pneumonia he lay ill for ten days and failed to respond to the treatment afforded him. All of his family were at his bedside when the end came. The deceased, whose father died when he was quite young, was left the sole support of a widowed mother and five sisters, only one of whom, a sister, Mrs. Yerex of Portland, Oregon, survives him. Later in life he married Agnes E. Weese, who predeceased him almost three years ago. Of the union three sons and two daughters were born, all of whom survive him, Harry C. and Dr. R. D. of Niagara Falls, N.Y., Reginald of Winnipeg, Miss Hazel at home and Mrs. Harold Nugent of Wesley. The deceased was a successful farmer, having developed and maintained one of the best farms in the township. His judgement was often sought relative to crop and soil conditions, of which he had made a study. His home was an open house to anyone who cared to come under his roof. He was a strong supporter of the Conservative Party. In his passing the community loses a familiar figure with a fund of ready Irish wit. Rev. E. F. Swayne conducted a very impressive service at Wesley United Church and later at Camden East cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest beside those of this wife, sister and father.

McDonald, James	DISTRICT NEWS – On Wednesday of last week, Mr. James McDonald, Jr., of Tamworth, while engaged on a drive of logs on Salmon river, about two miles from Arden, lost his life while assisting in breaking a “jam.” He slipped off the log he was standing upon, and, when he came to the surface was struck by another log and knocked under the jam. His body was recovered in about an hour. On Wednesday afternoon the 7^th inst., the people of this place and its vicinity were greatly shocked by the sad news that Jimmy (James) Macdonald was killed about noon that day. Shortly the mournful tale was proved to be true, when by friends and relatives the body was brought home. Sorrow filled the hearts of all who knew Jimmy, when the news of his untimely death was announced. This young man was within a few days to be 17. He had his growth young, and was employed as one of the river drivers in the Rathbun firm. This accident, it is said, happened near Cross Lake by falling into the stream, and struck senseless by one of the logs, so that he sank and drowned. Being young and ambitious, probably he exposed himself more than was needed. His life gave a fair prospect of manhood, but in the spring time of that life suddenly it was taken away. On Thursday afternoon a large number of friends and connections assembled at the house for the funeral to pay their last respects to the departed. The services were conducted by J. H. Jones at Beaver lake school house, text Luke xii, 40, after which the remains of the departed one were laid in Thompson’s cemetery near Beaver lake.

McGonion James, Alexander, James Jr.	DISTRESSING CASUALTY - On Wednesday, the 15^th October, as Mr. Jas. M’Gonion and his two sons, Alexander, aged 20 and James, aged 10 years were returning in a sail boat from Kingston to Adolphustown (the place of their residence) when nearly opposite Herchimer’s Point, the boat, as it is supposed, unfortunately capsized, and all three of them were drowned. The body of the oldest son was found on Monday last, and that of the father on Wednesday, and decently interred. It is supposed the body of the youngest son is in the boat. They were natives of Scotland, from whence they emigrated about eight years ago.

McIntyre, Harriet (nee Wrigley)	THE LATE MRS. McINTYRE - On Monday evening, shortly after six o’clock, Mrs. John McIntyre, Sydenham street, entered into rest. Her death was not unexpected for her illness had extended over a year, though she had somewhat recovered after an interval. Part of December and January she spent at Saranac Lake N.Y. with her daughter, Mrs. Bruce Carruthers, but was unimproved. Her last illness extended over several weeks, and no hope was held out fro recovery. The late Mrs. McIntyre’s maiden name was Harriet Wrigley, and she was born at Adolphustown. She was married twice, her first husband being the late James Macpherson, crown lands’ agent here. In 1876, she was married to Mr. McIntyre, who survives. Mrs. Carruthers was her only child. Mrs. McIntyre was very much beloved by a wide circle of friends, who will mourn the loss of one who had always been one of the city’s social leaders, and a prominent figure in church and philanthropic work. She was a devout member of St. Andrew’s, but was ever ready to assist in the furtherance of any good work beyond the confines of her own church. Mrs. McIntyre was a rare combination of gentleness and strength, full of tact and wise judgment, always sympathetic, and her passing from our midst has left a void in Kingston. The funeral service will be held at 2.30 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday at the family residence, Sydenham street.	March 1903 From the Watson Scrapbooks

In 1884 he became the subject of converting grace, under the ministry of Rev. J. H. Rattan, and ever after presented such a beautiful Christian life as demonstrated his union with Christ the Vine.

McLaughlin Wm.	Wm. McLaughlin Mr. Wm. McLaughlin, well known among Napanee’s younger citizens, passed away at his home on John St., on Saturday morning. Mr. McLaughlin has been ailing since the New Year from pernicious anaemia, so that there was no hope for his recovery from the first. Gradually growing weaker as the disease progressed, he finally succumbed on Saturday. Mr. McLaughlin was the son of the late Ephraim McLaughlin, who predeceased him by about a year, and Mrs. McLaughlin, the ticket agent for the C.P.R. in Napanee. Mr. McLaughlin at the time of his death was employed as Express Agent at the station.

There survives him, his wife (formerly Miss Grace Oliver), Napanee, his mother and two sisters. The funeral was held from his late home on Monday afternoon. The service at the house was of a private character. The Oddfellows and the Hockey Club in uniform, accompanied the body to St. Andrew’s Church, where a public service was held. Mr. Caldwell and Mrs. Valkman sang “Jesus Lover of My Soul” as a duet. The hymns were the same as were sung at his father’s funeral a year ago. Mr. Wilson spoke of Mr. McLaughlin’s life and athletic activities, and spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing wife and family. After the Church service the Oddfellows conducted their funeral rites, and the procession re-formed and proceeded to Riverview cemetery, where interment was made. The bearers were Wm. Galt, Wm. Hunter, W. S. Wilson, A.

McLeod, Mehetabell	MEHETABELL CARTER - Was born in Cape Breton, in 1807, her parents having come over from the State of Massachusetts, as they were U.E. Loyalists. In 1827, she was joined in bonds of holy matrimony to the late Malcom McLeod, who had come from Scotland (his native land) to his country in 1800. About 1834 they moved to the western part of his Province, and settled in Goderich, Huron county. After a few years spent in the State of Michigan, United States, they finally located, in 1845, in the township of Raleigh, county of Kent. They identified themselves with the then Wesleyan Methodist church - and first among those with whose ministry they were favored, the Rev. Dr. Cochran, now of Japan, was held in fond remembrance. After nearly fifty years of wedded life, she was left to finish the journey alone, and yet not alone, for she trusted in the promise of him who hath said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” An illness of a very severe character prostrated her on March 19^th, 1886, resulting in her death, April 10^th. She bore it with Christian fortitude, though often praying the Master, if it were his will, to release her, and her request was granted. On April 12^th, her remains were laid away in Maple Leaf Cemetery, Chatham. The funeral sermon was preached at Union Hall, Raleigh, on Easter Sunday, by the Rev. J. G. Scott, Chairman of the District. The text was Micah ii. 10. “This is not your rest.” He repeated during his sermon the following from the pen of C. Mackay, which contains the gist of the discourse.

McMillen, Robert	ROBERT McMILLEN - In the death of the subject of this obituary we have another example of the triumph of faith over sin and death. Robert McMillen was born in the county of Antrim, Ireland, in the year 1807. When but a youth he gave his heart to God, associated himself with the Church, and became a laborer with its pale. He was soon appointed to the position of class-leader, which he continued to hold until the hour of his decease. When about twenty-one years of age he was married to Sarah McMillen, a lady of high Christian virtue, and although of the same name, was no relation of his own. In the year 1848, with his wife and family of nine children, he came to his country and settled near where he sleeps today. Only two of this large family, Mrs. Starr, of Norwood, and Mr. Thomas McMillen are left to follow in the footsteps of their now sainted parents. Father McMillen was a man of earnest piety, very much attached to the cause of God; very seldom was he absent from the means of grace, and thought no sacrifice too great for the pleasures of the sanctuary. As a result his light shone brightly, and when the end drew near he was found ready. His final illness was not protracted. His pastor, Rev. Mr. Gee, on the eve of his leaving home for a few weeks, in company with the writer, visited him and found him very happy and fully trusting in Jesus. When for the last time we visited him he was full of joy, notwithstanding great physical weakness; we sang together that beautiful hymn, “The far away home of the soul,“ when with ecstatic joy he exclaimed, “Glory, glory!” We then knelt by his bedside and prayed together, feeling, in spite of the gloom, that death had already lost his sting. A short time afterward he calmly breathed his last in the 78^th year of his age. [signed] M. E. Wilson	Oct 7 1885 The Christian Guardian
McMullen, George Barrett	The death of George Barrett McMullen, third son of the late George W. McMullen, leaves a deep sense of personal loss to his many friends and acquaintances. While at school Barrett McMullen was a great favorite, and as the years went by deep rooted became the love and esteem of every man, woman and child in the town who had the privilege of coming in touch with him. During the few weeks of his illness, great was the strain felt by all and anxiety was visibly expressed from day to day on the faces of almost every person of his native town. For some years he was engaged in endeavouring to carry on the business of an extensive farm which had been started by his father, the details of which were diligently attended to by him. The church, the homes, the musical circles – nay many places not only in the immediate town but in all the county, will feel a void by his removal. In 1909 he married Miss Herbertha Roblin, only daughter of the Rev. Herbert Roblin of Boston, who with a son and three daughters survive him. The deep and heartfelt sympathy of the whole town go out to the wife, the mother, sister and four brothers and his immediate relatives.	(ca 1916-20) From the Watson Scrapbooks

McMullen, James Bates	Death of Mr. J. B. McMullen – The sad news of the sudden death of Mr. James Bates McMullen was announced in Picton by telegram on Saturday morning. Mr. McMullen had resided at Cairo, Ill., since January last and had even in that short time made many warm friends. He had of late been unusually cheerful and well and no thought of a sudden close to his active life entered the mind of any who knew him. His son, Frederick B. McMullen, was with him for several days during the last part of June and had bidden him good-bye on Monday of last week. July 4 (Friday) was a national holiday and Mr. McMullen invited some friends to a picnic on the Missouri side of the river opposite Cairo. A pleasant day was spent and the party was preparing to return. One gentleman belated by business had ridden a wheel. It was suggested that his bicycle be tied to the carriage and he ride back with the others. Mr. McMullen and he were doing his when the end came, and he sank lifeless to the ground. There was no struggle, and in a moment he who had been the life of the pleasant party was called away. It was his oft expressed wish that when his end came, it should be as it was. The remains were brought to Picton and the funeral took place from the residence of Mr. H. C. McMullen on Tuesday. The services at the funeral were largely attended by his wide circle of friends and relatives, who bid a long farewell to one whose life was filled with kindness for all who encountered him. Mr. McMullen was married in 1870 to Mary E. Bogart of Adolphustown, the only daughter of the late L. L. Bogart. She died in 1873 leaving one son, Frederick Bogart McMullen of Chicago. In 1891 Mr. McMullen married Mrs. Sylvia Patterson who survives him. She was with him at his death and in her grief has the profoundest sympathy of all who knew them both, and who can thus appreciated her acute sorrow. The services at the house were conducted by Rev. S. J. Shorey and N. A. McDiarmid, of Deseronto, the former a brother-in-law of the deceased, and the latter an old friend. The pallbearers were of his immediate family: Frederick B. McMullen, his son; his three brothers, H. C. and George McMullen of Picton, and Roger B. McMullen of Chicago; and his brothers-in –law, Rev. S. J. Shorey of Picton, and M. C. Bogart of Napanee. The members of the A.O.U.W. lodge attended in a body and added their impressive ceremony to the usual services at the interment.

Mellow, Samuel H.	SAMUEL H. MELLOW - On Thursday evening, Aug. 11^th , Mr. Samuel H. Mellow, of Sillsville passed suddenly away in his 77^th year. He had been in his usual state of fair health during the day and was spending the evening with Mrs. Mellow, at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Duncan Hough. After making a passing remark in a cheerful conversation, he laid his head against the back of his chair, a pallor overspread his countenance, and when his side was reached his spirit had fled. Deceased was born in St. Austell, Cornwall, England in 1828, and came to Canada in 1850 when he engaged in teaching at Morven and at Anderson's school house near Napanee. In 1854 he visited his old home, and in 1855, was married to Mary J. Yelland of Penzance, who survives him. Returning in 1855 with his brother, Wm. J. Mellow, of Gretna, also recently married, they were shipwrecked at night at Holyhead, on the coast of Wales, but escaped with most of their belongings though the ship sank almost immediately. On their arrival in Canada the brothers opened a store in Morven and a few years later purchased a tract of land in Kaladar, where they resided for three years, but found transportation too difficult to make farming a success in that then remote township. About forty years ago Samuel H, removed to Sillsville, and a few years later purchased a part of the Glebe of Clergy Reserve land, which has since been his home. Early in his married life deceased joined the Methodist church, of which he has ever since been an earnest and consistent member, and with a few others struggled for many years to maintain an appointment at Sillsville. Immediately after moving to Sillsville he assisted in organizing the Glebe Sunday School, of which he has ever since been the superintendent. During the forty years which have elapsed he has seen his youngest scholars grow to manhood and womanhood and their children take the place in his class which the parents formerly occupied. His kindly nature made him the interested companion and loving friend of children and young people, and he ever strove to inculcate in their minds those gentle thoughts and noble precepts which tend to elevate the mind and enoble the character. On Sunday morning, Aug. 14th, at the hour at which he was accustomed to assemble with his beloved Sunday School his body was borne to the church by his five sons and his son-in-law, preceded by the Sunday School singing his favorite hymn. The casket was covered with flowers, sent by the Sunday School, his children and numerous friends. After an Impressive service by Rev. Mr. Thomas, he was laid at rest. "He was not for God took him." His loving wife and the devoted mother of his children survives him. The other members of the family are Annie J., now Mrs. Duncan Hough, of Sillsville; Dr. Samuel J., of Port Perry; Thomas Y., of Sandhurst; Felix, of Bath; Fannie and Arthur W., at home, and Dr. Frank E. at Sainfield.	1904 From the Hough Scrapbooks.
Mellow, Dr. S. J.	Dr. S. J. Mellow – It is with sincere regret that we record the death of Dr. S. J. Mellow, on Thursday, March 4^th, 1925. He will be greatly missed in his professional capacity and as a citizen. Dr. Mellow was born September 19^th, 1859, at Morven, near Napanee. After his Public School course, he attended High School at Napanee, took his Normal course, and taught school for three years at Camden and Sillsville, Ont. He then went to Queen’s University and took his medical course, graduating in 1886. He first practiced medicine at Bath, Ont., staying there three years. While residing at Bath, Dr. Mellow married Miss Bertha Louise Armstrong. Shortly after their marriage, Dr. and Mrs. Mellow moved to Bay City, Michigan, where he remained for five years as a resident doctor. In 1894 Dr. and Mrs. Mellow moved to Port Perry, where they have since resided. Since coming to Port Perry, Dr. Mellow has taken an active part in the affairs of the town. He was in the council for a number of years, and was Reeve for a term. Perhaps his greatest interest was shown in his service to the Board of Education of which he was a member for some twenty years, and at one time became chairman of that body. He was also a member of the Library Board, and has been President of the Board since the change from an Association to Public Library, taking a leading part in promoting the building of a War Memorial Library. While public affairs were of importance, Dr. Mellow’s practice grew steadily and in this field he will be most seriously missed. It will be difficult for the community to get along without his constant, skilful, and painstaking service. Dr. Mellow was fond of sport, and his recreations were lawn bowling, tennis and curling. He maintained his own tennis lawn, and made all tennis lovers welcome in the use of it. As a member of the Lawn Bowling Club, he leaves a gap hard to fill. The outstanding features of Dr. Mellow’s life have been his untiring industry and his sincerity, coupled with excellent judgement of men and affairs. Dr. Mellow is survived by Mrs. Mellow and their three daughters – Mrs. Merlin Letcher and the Misses Helen and Francis Mellow, also by six brothers and sisters, all of whom were at the unreal – Mrs. D. H. Hough, of Sillsville, Ont.; Thos. Y. Mellow, Bath, Ont.; Felix Mellow, of Kingston; Mrs. W. R. Hough, Sillsville, Ont.’ Arthur W. Mellow, Sillsville, and Dr. F. El Mellow, Uxbridge. The funeral services were conducted on Saturday afternoon by Rev. Wm. Higgs, and Rev. A. E. Thornley, and were very largely attended. The many floral gifts were a striking tribute to the high esteem in which the Doctor was held. Besides the flowers sent by the immediate relatives, those the tributes of private friends, there were beautiful gifts of flowers from the following bodies, - Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club; the council of the Corporation of the Village of Port Perry; Port Perry Board of Education; Port Perry Public Library Board; the staff’s of the High and Public Schools, and Ontario County Medical Association.	1925 Newspaper Clipping

He petitioned the Government for a post office, which was opened, he being postmaster for about 45 years. Also, he, with Mr. Wm. Hambly, Mr. Paul Howell, Mr. John N.

Membery, Elizabeth Jane (nee Dorland)	OBITUARY – Elizabeth Jane Membery – wife of Fred Membery, Reeve of Adolphustown, who has been suffering for the past ten months from Bright’s disease, passed quietly away about 7 o’clock in the evening, on Saturday, 21^st inst.. She was taken ill the last week in July and was examined by some of the best doctors in Picton, Bath and Toronto, and there did not seem to be much difference in their opinion. They all at first thought that the seat of the disease was a diseased lung, with a little Bright’s disease, and not until February, Dr. Northmore, of Bath, was called and pronounced her disease Bright’s disease of a chronic form. She was tenderly cared for by her daughters for over six months in bed, one of them being a lately graduated nurse from the Winnipeg General Hospital training school for nurses. Mrs. Membery was a true Christian of the doctrine of Christ, having joined the Brethren many years ago, when Lord Cecil first came to Adolphustown to preach the Gospel of Christ, and remained a true believer to the end, enduring all her suffering with patience, with a firm belief of meeting her Saviour in Heaven. The funeral was one of the largest here for years, and she was laid to rest in St. Paul’s churchyard, in a plot taken up next her grandfather’s plot, Major Peter V. Dorland and descendants. A gentle rain fell upon the coffin as she was being borne to the grave. Mrs. Membery was a lady very highly respected, a genial, kind-hearted friend to the sick and suffering in her neighborhood at all times during the whole of her life. The people of Adolphustown village, as well as her husband and children, have lost their greatest friend. She was born Oct 30^th, 1842 and died May 21^st 1898, making her 55 years, 6 months and 22 days. She was married January 1^st 1863. Mrs. Membery was the daughter of the late Philip Dorland, who died twenty-eight years ago, and granddaughter of Major Peter V. Dorland, and great-granddaughter of Philip Dorland, U.E. Loyalist, who was once elected to Parliament by acclamation, and resigned his seat rather than take an oath the law required, he being a Quaker in faith. J.W. Dorland, formerly of the Campbell House, is a brother of Mrs. Membery, and Mrs. W.R. Membery, of the Daly House, Toronto, and Mrs. Glass, of Chicago are sisters, who came to see her on her deathbed and attended her funeral. James Grace, Sec. And Treas. of the Toronto Street Railway Co., is a first cousin, her father’s sister’s son. Mrs. Membery’s mother is a sister of the S.W. Trumpour, so long the Treasurer of this Township. The Dorland family have a splendid reputation for generations back, and a book is now being compiled by John Dorland, Governor of Washington, tracing the family back to the first settlement of New York City, of which two brothers from Germany located, a lot of 200 acres a piece, now the very center of the city, and their descendants are now to be found in nearly every state of the Union, occupying some of the most prominent positions in the country. The Dorlands are growing few in Adolphustown, sorry to say, only J.W., Samuel and Redford Dorland, Tp. Clerk, and none of these have any heirs or likely to now at their age. Mrs. Membery had only two children, Mrs. Geo. Armstrong and Ida Membery, the professional nurse.	1898 From the Watson Scrapbooks
Membery	CORRECTION - Adolphustown, May 21^st , '06 - Dear Editor -- In the obituary of the late D. W. Allison in last week's Beaver, an error appears in the maiden name of his widow. She is my sister. We are no relation to the Emburys of this County. My grandfather, Amos Membery came from Dorsetshire, England in the year 1845 and settled in Adolphustown, purchasing the old U.E.L. farm owned by Capt. Mabee, now owned by J. B. Allison, Esq., who also married a sister of mine. My grandfather brought with him from England $30,000.00 in gold - a good sum to own so far back as 1845. The name "Membery" can be traced as far back in England as the year A.D. 449 in "Dooms Day Book" and a town in Devonshire County, still retains our name, and just outside of the town of Membery are the ruins of a castle still called "Castle Membery". Please correct the error and oblige your sincere friend. (Signed) Fred Membery.	From the Watson Scrapbooks
