Mabee, Dr. J.
E. |
MABEE - Entered into rest at his home, Odessa, on Tuesday,
August 20, 1940, Dr. J. E. Mabee, dear husband of B. Decker, formerly of
Whitby, and father of Dr. H. C. Mabee, Kingston, Ontario. Funeral will take place from his late
residence on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock (Daylight Saving time). Friends and acquaintances
respectfully invited to attend.
Interment at Cataraqui Cemetery.
Masonic service.. Dr. J. E. Mabee 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. |

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. |

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, Marshall
Seymour |
After an illness of several months, Mr. M. S. 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 entered probably more fully into the
business, political, municipal and 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. Besides his widow he leaves three daughters,
Mrs. Reddick, Napanee, Mrs, Allen, New York, and Miss Maisie at home. The funeral took place from his late
residence Friday afternoon.
Private service was held at the home and a public service in Grace

Magee, Margaret
Elizabeth (nee

THE LATE MRS. JOHN MAGEE - Margaret Elizabeth Lawson,
beloved wife of John Magee, passed away at her home in 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 Angeles; her husband, one son, Bert, of Sillsville, and six
daughters, the 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. Church,
Dorland, from which she was carried to the cemetery, and laid to rest beside
her father. |

Magee, Robert |
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.

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 May |
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. |

Mapp, Reginald |
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 afternoon,
the recovery being mad by the use of a seine. From twenty to twenty-five men were working when the body
was recovered. It was down to a
depth of over twenty feet. The
body was taken to the undertaking parlors of VanLuven and Wartman. No inquest will be held. Mapp, a young Englishman, aged about 23 years, was drowned
in the Napanee River near Woodcock’s school-house, about five miles west of
here, yesterday morning. The young man, who formerly worked for 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. |

M. |
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. |

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] E.
Whitworth. |

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.” |

J. |
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

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

Mrs. McGill and the late Robert McGill.

ARTHUR BIBLE McGINNESS - 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 the entire community. |

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.” |

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. |

December 21st, 1874. In 1878 the family came to Manitoba, and
settled in Meadow Lea. 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. 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 the parents, and prepare them to meet him on high. F. M. FINN |

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. 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 little more
than a year. |

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 follows]

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 78th year of his
age. [signed] M. E. Wilson |

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. |

Sillsville, was killed instantly Saturday night at Mooney’s Crossing on the

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

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

Help was secured and medical assistance, but to no avail and shortly after midnight death occurred. The late Jas. B. Miller was born in 1849, on the Miller homestead, three miles east of Napanee, on the York Road, and spent his whole life in this county. He was one of a family of eight, of which only two sisters survive, Mrs. Fred Kayler, Winnipeg, and Mrs. Chas Kayler of Napanee. In 1868 he married Sarah Ellen Perry, of Morven and for forty-one years they have fought life’s battles and met life’s joys together. Only one child was born to their home Roy, who died in early childhood. Mrs. Miller has the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends in the hour of her sorrow. For the last thirty-six years Mr. Miller has lived in his late residence, which has ever been the centre of friendship and hospitality. Forty years ago Mr. Miller became identified with the Methodist Church and has ever since been an official and closely identified with its activities. At the time of death he was a Trustee and member of the Official Board at Morven. The funeral was on Sunday at the Brick Church. Rev. Mr. Wickett, Tyrone, and Rev. Mr. Seymour, of Bath, assisted the Pastor. The large congregation of friends present was sufficient evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Miller was held. No words of eulogy is necessary. The highest tribute that can be paid to any man is the memory that is cherished by those who knew and loved him. |

Miller, John |
On Thursday, the 23rd inst. the coroner was
called to view the body of a man by the name of John Miller who fell down
dead in the street - It seems that Mr. Miller had come from Ernest Town, his
place of residence, the day previous, and early on Thursday morning, feeling
himself unwell had procured some medicine which he did not take however, and
had proceeded down St--- Street as far as Mr Dowling’s when he fell down dead
immediately opposite the door.
And would it be believed, from the general humane character of the
inhabitants of Kingston, that his body was permitted to lie in the street
from six till 12 o’clock? Yet it
is nevertheless true - Jury’s verdict, visitation of God. Reader! what a warning, to be prepared to meet your God at any
moment. |

Miller, Matthew |
On Saturday night last, the Rev. Matthew Miller, Minister
of the Scotch church at Cobourg, while crossing from Adolphustown to the
stone mills, Marysburgh, with his horse and sleigh, broke through the ice,
off Trumpour’s Point, and unfortunately, all perished. His body and the horse were found the
next morning. It would appear
that the accident occurred at half past ten o’clock, from the fact that his
watch, which was found on his person, stopped at that hour. Mr. Miller was highly esteemed fro
his superior talents, unassuming manners, and religious life. The untimely removal of such men is a
public as well as private loss. |

to be unseaworthy and the contingent was returned to Canada. Demobilized at Pembroke, Ont., he returned to Napanee
where he served with the Seymour Electric Co., the predecessor of Napanee
Public Utilities Commission. As
an electrician he wired a large number of the older houses in Napanee. Leaving the Seymour Company he went into business with his
father. The M. B. Mills Co. was
originally a taxidermy business and later conducted a carriage business. They also manufactured tents and
awnings. The company purchased a building at the foot of John
Street on the present location of the Lennox and Addington Mutual Fire
Insurance Co., and an extensive feed business was built up. Mr. Mills’ father died in 1932, and he carried on,
entering the chick hatching business.
Fire destroyed the firm’s premises in 1947 and they purchased the
Wiseman garage building at the corner of Centre and Bridge streets. Lorne Smart, reeve of Napanee and the

friends accompanied him on motor trips all over the north American
continent. He was an active

ALBERT E. MOORE, LONG ILL, IS DEAD - HAD BEEN CONNECTED
WITH A. BUSHNELL & CO. SINCE 1911.
Albert E. Moore, well known employee of A. Bushnell & Company,
died late Friday afternoon at his home, 115 Ward Street, following a long
illness. His death was unexpected,
however, for he had appeared improved during the past week, when he suffered
a relapse. He was born and had
always resided in this city. He
was the son of Mrs. Mary E., and the late Jacob H. Moore. He was employed for many years as
clerk in the dry goods store of Oliver B. Cadwell, 11 Public Square, and
acquired in this store a thorough knowledge of domestic dry goods. When Mr. Cadwell went out of business
in 1911, Mr. Moore secured a position with A. Bushnell & company and
during the past eight years had been buyer and manager of the domestic dry
goods department as well as being one of the staff managers of the
store. He was known to hundreds
of patrons of the store in northern New York who relied upon his expert
knowledge of materials to guide them in their purchases. “Mr. Moore came to us in 1911.” said Karl George, treasurer of the
company today. “He was popular and well liked by all of the employees of the
store. There is no doubt but
that he was one of the best buyers of domestic dry goods in northern New
York. He had a training that is
practically impossible to secure today.
He was a specialist in
his line. He was a generally
useful man. Nothing can be said
that is too good of the man himself.”
Mr. Moore was a member of Trinity Episcopal church and was prominent
in the Sunday school work at the church, being superintendent of the school
for some time. He was a member
of the local lodge, Improved Order of Red Men. Surviving are his widow, Elsie Hurlbut Moore, his mother,
Mrs. Mary E. Moore, and a brother, Fred H. Moore, all of this city. The funeral will be held at 2 Monday
afternoon from the Moore residence, 115 Ward street. Rev. Francis W. Eason, rector of
Trinity Episcopal church, officiating. Interment will be in Brookside cemetery. |

has been filled, and that the end has been reached in peace. |

Moss, Eliza (nee
Armstrong) |
ELIZA ARMSTRONG - The subject of this sketch was twice
married, first to Wm. Manders, with whom she spent many happy years, and raised
a large family, several of whom are followers of Christ. She was born in the years 1827 in
Sligo, Ireland, and died March 2nd 1886. Her now sorrowing husband, Mr. Thomas Moss, mourns not as
those who have no hope of meeting by the “river that flows by the throne of
God.” She was one of the most
devoted women we have ever known.
She was for many years a devoted follower of her Lord and Master. All her brothers and sisters, and
father and mother, are endeavoring to make the desired haven of rest. Her father, for forty years a class
leader, is now listening for the Master’s call to “inherit the kingdom
prepared for him.” She had a
long illness, which was most patiently endured as seeing him who was
invisible. That memorable hour
will not soon be forgotten when her pure spirit soared out of the crumbling
wreck to “crown him Lord of all”
Her bereaved partner is one of the most lonely of men, and we will not
soon forget how his heart melted as she said, “I’m going home.” May her dear children walk in the
light, and meet her in her own dear home in heaven. She has gone to participate in the rest that remains for
the people of God. May our
sorrowing brother cling to Christ and constantly have the consolations of his
grave. [signed] N.B. Topping |
