Medical man For 53 Years - Funeral services for the late Dr. J. E. 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 47th 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. |

daughter of Allan MacKenzie, 46 Division street,
Kingston. Funeral Tuesday afternoon at
2.30 o’clock. Friends and
acquaintances respectfully invited to attend. SLEPT PEACEFULLY AWAY - Death of Miss Mary Mackenzie, in Rochester
- In the midst of her studies, by which she
was preparing herself to become a medical missionary, Miss Mary Mackenzie,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. 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.
Thus easily she slipped from the lower to the higher training
school. Miss Mackenzie, who was the
beloved elder sister of a family of nine children, graduated from Toronto
General Hospital training school for nurses, a short time ago and was but
twenty-five years old. Four brothers
and four sisters survive, Misses Elsie, Janet, Mima
and Maggie at home; Allan, New
York; William, St. Louis; Duncan and Kenneth, of this city. William Young, an uncle, and Allan
Mackenzie brought the body from Rochester to this city for burial; the funeral will take place to-morrow. Miss Mackenzie was a member of Chalmers
church and many friends will grieve deeply at her death. |

On the morning of the 5th

Madden and his sons were employed in raising a new building, it unexpectedly
fell, and instantly killed one of his sons, by the name of Andrew Wesley,
aged 12 years, and broke the thigh of another, aged 19. Mr. Madden and his other sons escaped
unhurt. Truly it may be said, in the midst of life we are in death. |

Madden,
James |
JAMES MADDEN - Was born in Belleville in the year 1852,
and died at Chatham, Ont., Dec. 19th, 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. |

Madole passed away on Wednesday morning, Sept 18th. The end was not unexpected as he had been
suffering from Artero Sclerosis for some time. Mr. Madole had

church life of the community than any other man in Napanee. He served successfully as Councillor and
Mayor at the council board, and was at his death a member of the Board of
Education. Twice he successfully
contested Lennox in the Liberal Interest, his opponent in both instances
being the late T. G. Carscallen. For
many years Mr. Madole had been one of the strongest
and most faithful members of Grace Methodist Church and Sunday School and an
ardent supporter of every movement to increase the spiritual and material
welfare of the church. In business Mr.
Madole was known all over the county and highly
respected. Among other hardware
dealers he was also honoured by being elected president of their association.

South Fredericksburgh on March the 29th . The daughter of the late
James Lawson and his wife, Mary Ann Melville, Mrs. Magee was born on a farm
adjoining the one on which she spent her married life. In her early childhood
her parents moved to Petrolia where her father was in business for some years
until their return to Napanee. She was married to John Magee on September 3rd
1889, theirs being the first marriage in the U.E. L. Church at Dorland. Mrs. Magee leaves to mourn her loss, one
sister, Mrs. D. S. Cowan, of Petrolia; an aunt, Mrs. R. J. McKee of Los

Misses Hattie and Margaret, at home, Mrs. H. M. Hough of Sillsville; Mrs.
Floyd Vannest, of Hawley, Mrs. F. B. Wright and
Mrs. William Henwood of Conway. Mrs. Magee was much respected and beloved
in the community. She was a woman of ready wit and youthful spirit, which
kept her young in heart and mind to the last. Due to the proximity of the
Union Church the ministers, both Anglican and Methodist, were the frequent
recipients of her broad-minded hospitality. She was a woman of deep religious
convictions and strove to impress them upon her family. Her passing has left
a great gap in the family circle. The funeral service was held in the U.E.L.

PAST THREE SCORE AND TEN - Mr. Robert Magee
was born in the County of Donegal, Ireland, in the year 1823, and died at The
Pines, South Fredericksburgh, on November 20th , 1907, having
reached the ripe age of 84 years, 9 months and 6 days. The funeral was held
in the Union church, where in spite of the unfavorable
condition of the roads, and other obstacles, a large number of neighbors and friends gathered to pay their respect to
all that was mortal of the deceased. Six sons, viz., Robert, of Toronto;
William, John, Andrew, Alexander and Joseph, all of The Pines, acting as pall
bearers, and one daughter, Mrs. J. Dickson, Hayburn, mourn the loss of a
kind-hearted and affectionate father. The funeral was conducted by the Rev.
W. S. Boyce, after which the body was placed in the vault at Napanee, to be
interred at a later date in the Methodist cemetery, Adolphustown. The subject
of this obituary was a good citizen, highly respected, in religion a Methodist;
in his Christian life he was devoted to his Master, and the church of his
choice. He was one of the principal men who engaged in the erection of the
Union church, and was one of the chief supporters of God's cause in this
community. A large number of friends sympathize with the sons and daughter
and relatives of the deceased, believing however, that their loss was his
gain. MAGEE - Robert Magee was born in Donegal,
Ireland, 1823, and died at “The Pines,” South Fredericksburg, November 20,
1907, at the advanced age of eighty-four years, nine months, and six
days. The funeral was held at the
Union Church, and was largely attended.
The body, which was laid in Napanee vault, will be buried in the
U.E.L. Methodist cemetery at Adolphustown.
Bro. Magee was a life-long Methodist, his early home in Ireland being
a regular place for worship. He was
highly respected by all, and was a man of pure life and deep piety, devoted
to the church of his choice, and a good supporter of it. He was alive to every good work. He leaves behind him a family of six sons
and one daughter to mourn his loss. We
believe that “He was faithful unto death,” as he longed for his Master’s
coming to adorn him with “a crown of life.”
The sorrowing friends have the sympathy of a wide circle of
friends. W.S. Boyce |

Manion, Annie (nee
Gleason) |
Mrs. John Manion
- Death once again has caused a widespread sorrow
throughout this community, on February 9th 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. |

Manion, Ida

MANION - At Richmond, on Saturday, February
9th, 1929, Annie Manion, aged 42 years
and 8 months. OBITUARY - Miss Ida May Manion
- Many hearts were saddened and shocked on
Monday morning, July 10th, 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. |

Reginald Mapp’s
Body Recovered - NAPANEE,
June 21 - The body of Reginald map, who lost his life in the Napanee
River on Thursday morning was recovered shortly after three o’clock in the

several farms in the district, had been employed with the stone-crusher. A boat, which had been tied to the dock,
drifted out into the river and the young man threw off his coat and started
to swim out. He had gone a short distance when he sank from sight. Efforts were made to rescue him, but they
proved to no avail. |

KILLED IN ACTION - PTE. R. M. MARLIN - Pte. Richie M. Marlin was born in
Hungerford, Ont., February 16th, 1897, and died on the field of
France, April 9th, 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 24th, 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. |

A. (nee

MARY A. MERRETT - The beloved wife of Israel Marshall, died
in the Lord August 20th, 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]

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. |

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 7th
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. The awful hour when ye shall die Angels themselves cannot declare, Perhaps ‘tis that now gliding by, “Mortals for death prepare.” |

At his residence in Fredericksburgh on 3rd inst., the Rev. Robert McDowall, aged 73. The Rev. Robert McDowall, who died on
August 3, was born in 1768 in Saratoga N.Y. of Scotch parents. His father,
having been a zealous loyalist, was detained in prison by the Revolutionary
party during the war, and lost all his property which appears to have been
valuable. He commenced his studies, first at Grammar School after leaving
which he went to Williams College in Massachusetts, and completed his studies
under the late Rev. Mr. Romeyn, Prof. of Theology
at Schenectady, under the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church. At the
request of those settlers belonging to that church who, after the American
Revolution, emigrated to Canada, he was ordained by the Classis or Presbytery
of Albany, and appointed to labour amongst them as a Missionary, coming to
Canada in 1798 to the neighbourhood of the Bay of Quinte. MCDOWELL, Rev. Robert, died at his
residence, Fredericksburgh, Aug 2 1841, age 73. DIED - At his residence in Fredericksburgh,

OBITUARY - WILLIAM J. McGILL
- One of the worthy and highly respected
citizens of Camden Township, passed away on Thursday morning, Oct. 5th,
in the person of William J. McGill, who was born in the township, near
Centreville, on February 12th, 1848, and with the exception of a
few short visits to other points, spent all his life therein. He was one of a family of ten children of
the late Thomas McGill and his wife, Mary King, and was carefully trained in early life in
those virtues that go to make useful citizens. On November 5th, 1875, he was
united in marriage with Annie Copeland.
On his farm he worked faithfully and with method and perseverance
succeeded in building up a valuable property.
In the church he was ever a reverent worshipper and attended
faithfully to the work of the various offices given him. Of a quiet and somewhat reserved
disposition he never sought public office, but his counsel was often of worth
to those filling office. His home was
one in which godly influence was ever exerted for the good of this family and
friends. For nearly forty years, he
was treasurer of L. O. L. No 756 and for many years a member of the John W.
Bell Black Preceptory No. 725 The funeral service of Saturday last, which
were attended by a large number of
friends and relatives were held in the home and the Methodist Church and were conducted by
his Pastor, Rev. M. W. Leigh, B. A., and the officers of the lodges of which
he was a member. The pall-bearers were
all Orangemen, as follows, Robert
Wilson, Robert Brown, Joseph Tate, Solomon
Clancy, Jacob Doupe and John W. Reid. To cherish the memory of his useful and
godly life, there remain in addition to his wife, two sons, Thomas E. and
Geo. A., both of Centreville; four
daughters, Mrs. F. C. Gerow, Mrs. Fred Milligan,
both of Centreville; Mrs. J. Toshack, of Drumheller Alta.,
and Mrs. J. Paxton of Regina; two
brothers, Wesley and Robert and a large circle of acquaintances. |

Centreville, when the many friends of W. T. McGill heard of his death on
Saturday, March 21st, in Kingston General Hospital, following an
operation for appendicitis on March 18th. Although he seemed to be in perfect health
up to the time of his operation, all that medical skill and loving hearts and
hands could do was of no avail. He was born on September 23rd,
1891 at Centreville, the eldest son of Mrs. McGill and the late Robert
McGill. The funeral service which was
largely attended, was held in Centreville United Church, on Monday, March 23rd,

words: “No man is sure of Life.: After the service, Masonic rites were
performed by Victoria Lodge No. 299, A.F. & A.M. The body was taken to Regina and laid to
rest in Regina Cemetery, by the side of his wife, Hazel Price, of Hinch, who died in 1912.

- passed to his eternal reward on
Monday August 14th at the age of seventy-one years, three months
and eleven days. He leaves a wife and
thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters to mourn the loss of a kind,
indulgent husband and father. But they
sorrow not as those without hope. His
sun has set here to rise more brightly on the other shore. His suffering for eight weeks, was borne
with patience and Christian fortitude.
His last words to his sorrowing family as they stood around his bed,
were “I am going home to a merciful God.”
Deceased, who was a son of Robert McGinness,
late of Selby, was born in Limerick county, Ireland in a place called Kilfinnane, in 1828.
In 1830, he came to Canada with his father who settled on a farm north
of Selby. Here he resided until 1850,
when he was united in marriage to Margaret Biggar,
and moved to his late home near Roblin, where he has since resided. The services on Wednesday were conducted by
Rev. W. G. Swayne. He preached from I
Cor. xv, 12, 13 and 14. The remains
were interred in the English church Cemetery, south of Selby. The bereaved family have the sympathy of

DISTRESSING CASUALTY - On Wednesday, the 15th
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. A widow and two or three
children are left to mourn this afflcting
dispensation of Divine Providence, but we feel happy in saying they do not
“mourn as those without hope.” |

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. |

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. After a long and painful
illness, which lasted over a year, and was borne with the patience of an aged
saint, he sweetly and triumphantly entered into the heavenly rest, on the 6th
of September, 1886. His last utterance
was “Blessed Jesus, take me home speedily if it is thy will.” Thank God, our people still die well. On the 8th his body was borne to
its last resting place by a large and deeply affected concourse of people,
where we laid him to rest until the Master calls him forth robed in
resurrection grandeur. May God console

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. He was just in the prime of life and had
all along been a keen athlete and intensely interested in the athletics of
the town and vicinity. At the time of
his death he was the President of the town Hockey Club. He was as well a member and active worker
of the Oddfellows organization, to which he devoted
a good deal of his time. 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. Kimmerly, Limbert
Graham and Fred Knapp. The sympathy of the community goes out to
the bereaved, particularly his wife to whom Mr. McLaughlin had been married 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 19th,
1886, resulting in her death, April 10th. 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 12th,
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. [Poem

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 78th year of his age. [signed]

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. |

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. The deceased had he lived
would have completed his sixty-first year on the twentieth of August. |

Mellow, Samuel

SAMUEL H. MELLOW - On Thursday evening,
Aug. 11th , Mr. Samuel H. Mellow, of Sillsville passed suddenly
away in his 77th 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. |

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 4th, 1925. He will be greatly missed in his
professional capacity and as a citizen. Dr. Mellow was born September 19th,
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. |

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, 21st 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 30th, 1842 and died May 21st 1898, making her
55 years, 6 months and 22 days. She
was married January 1st 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. |

CORRECTION - Adolphustown, May 21st
, '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. |

Level Crossing Accident Takes Lives of Two
People – Couple on Way to Napanee as Train Hits Car – SILLSVILLE – Nov. 2 – (Special) - Robert Merritt, 62, of Sillsville, was
killed instantly Saturday night at Mooney’s Crossing on the Hamburg Road, two
miles south of Napanee, about 7.15 and his wife was fatally injured. A car in which Mr. and Mrs. Merritt were
driving to Napanee from Sillsville was struck by a C.N.R. westbound fast
passenger train. Poor visibility, because of a heavy
downpour of rain, is believed to have been responsible for the accident. Mrs. Merritt died in the Kingston General
Hospital two hours after the accident. It was later learned that Mr. and Mrs.
Merritt were on their way to Napanee with a quilt for the Salvation
Army. Provincial Constable F. W.
Barrett was summoned to the scene of the accident and Coroner D. R. Hall
conducted an investigation. It was not
certain today if an inquest would be held.
The late Mr. and Mrs. Merritt resided on a
farm at Sillsville, where they had lived since coming to Canada from England
33 years ago. They were both active in
church and charitable organization. Surviving are a daughter Mrs. Clarence
Davis of Adolphustown, and two sons, Percy, on a nearby farm at Sillsville,
and Leslie, stationed at Winnipeg with the R.C.A., who was previously with
the Bank of Commerce head office at Toronto. The late Mr. Merritt was a well-known
Holstein breeder and showed pure-bred cattle at many of the fairs in this
district, including Kingston, Napanee, Belleville and Picton. He was a member of the South Fredericksburg
Board of Education and the township council and the board of stewards of the
United Church and he sang in the choir. Mrs. Merritt was prominent in charitable
and church work. She was a member of
the Women’s Association of the United Church and had attended every W. A.
annual meeting, including the one held at Wilton 20 years ago. She had done a great deal of knitting fro
war work. FUNERAL HELD FOR
VICTIMS OF ACCIDENT – SILLSVILLE - Nov. 6 – The funeral service of the late
Robert and Ada Merritt who were accidentally killed at Mooney’s Crossing was
held at their home “Elmville Farm” on Tuesday
afternoon at 2.30. Rev. Mr. Crawford
conducted the service and hymns sung were “Nearer My God to Thee” and “Abide
With Me”. Because their younger son, Leslie, was
delayed in his journey at Fort Garry owing to a rock slide north of Lake
Superior, he was unable to be present on Tuesday and the committal service
was delayed until Wednesday at 2 p.m., when, after a short service at the
home, interment was made at Riverview Cemetery, Napanee. The pall-bearers were Morley Whyte, Harold
Hough, Morley Creighton, Bert Windover, Lachlan McLean and J.B. Elliott. |
