Nash, Thomas
Webb |
At the General Hospital, Kingston, Tuesday afternoon,
March 23rd, 1915. Thomas Webb Nash, C. E., in his 88th
year. Funeral from the undertaking
rooms of Robert J. Reid, 230 Princess Street to Cataraqui Cemetery on Friday
morning at 10:30 o’clock. Friends and
acquaintances respectfully invited to attend. Father of K. & P. Has Passed Away Career of Thos. W. Nash, Engineer, is Closed He Laid out plans for Kingston and Pembroke Ry. – Was an
Engineer of Authority Mr. Thomas Webb Nash succumbed to the ravages of old age
in the General Hospital Last night.
He had been in the institution for about two weeks but age had set
heavily on his weakened shoulders and he gradually sank, passing away
peacefully last night. The late Mr.
Nash was born on Amherst Island on the 29th of December 1826. His father, Thomas Nash came from
Bristol;, England, and carried on a store at Picton, Ont. On his mother’s side he was descended form
Mrs. Haris, of Albeston, a somewhat distinguished member of the “Society of
Friends” (Quakers). A short account
of her life was published at Bristol in 1834. Mr. Nash himself was a Quaker in sympathies and has been heard
to claim that he was still a member of that Society as he had “never been
read out.” At the same time his
religious connection for many years was with the Methodist church. His heart was set on being an engineer,
and he articled himself to John Emmerson, a Provincial Land Surveyor at
Thurlow, and was in his employment, when the construction of the Grand Trunk
Railway from Toronto to Montreal was begun.
He obtained employment as an engineer of the great new railway and
continued with the Grand Trunk until the road was completed, and subsequently
came to Kingston and settled down here pursuing the vocation of a Provincial
Land Surveyor, which he carried on up to a few months ago. When the Kingston & Pembroke Railway
was organized he became their Chief Engineer. The laying out of the road as it now runs was his work. Only Engineers know the difficulties with
which he had to contend in constructing a road through the broken country
between Kingston and Renfrew. He was
one of the makers of Canada, whose work is done out of sight, without noise,
but is none the less of the greatest value to his country. It would not be incorrect to say that Mr.
Nash was universally esteemed as a man of unblemished character and
reputation quiet, simple and unostentatious in his life “doing good by
stealth,” in ways that very few
people knew anything about. There are
men in Kingston who could tell of sincere services of friendship and
assistance rendered to them by the deceased citizen, which were never heard
of or known except between the giver and receiver. Mr. Nash took a real interest in the University and School of
Mining and for some years was a Governor of the latter institution. He leaves two brothers, Dr. Alfred Nash,
Joliet, Ill.; Dr. Samuel Nash of Bath, Ont., and three sisters, Mrs. L. E. Loomis, of Rich Hill, Mo., Mrs Isobel Sweatman, of Bloomfield, Ont.,
and Mrs. Mary Allen Kingston, Ont. |

Neilson, Fred |
Napanee Ont., June 4 - A very sad drowning accident
happened this afternoon about five o’clock, when Fred, the fifteen-year-old
son of Mr. Allan Neilson, of Sandhurst, lost his life. After school, a number of the school boys
went down to the river to bathe. It
is supposed that the deceased took cramps, and before assistance could be
procured was drowned. The other boys
who were with him were small, and could not swim well. He was in the water more than half an
hour, and all efforts to resuscitate him proved fruitless. |

Neville, Mr.
& Mrs. Mitchell |
Obituary Since the last issue of the STANDARD death
has claimed among others as its victims two old and highly respected
residents, whose deaths occurred so nearly together that it seemed as if
ordained that they who had been so long and happily united in life should not
be parted in death. The deaths
referred to are those of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Neville, which occurred on
Monday and Thursday of last week.
Mrs. Neville preceding her husband by the three days indicated
above. Mr. Neville was born in Switzerville
in the year 1813, and Mrs. Neville in North Fredericksburgh about two years
later. Both had been in poor health
for some time and the release from their sufferings at last was not
altogether unexpected. Mr. Neville
was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, one who might well have become
conspicuous in the affairs of any community, but he seems to have preferred
reserving his energies for the service of religious and benevolent
enterprises. Many years ago he united
with what is now known as the Canada Methodist Church, in which body he
became subsequently a local preacher of ability much above the average of the
class. He loved his religion well,
and by his daily life sought to set an example to all around him which would
win for it respect and lead others to embrace it. He also at various times and in many ways has rendered valuable
service to the temperance cause, of which he was long a firm friend. In Mrs. Neville he had fortunately a
helpmate who thoroughly sympathized with his religious and benevolent
feelings and who gave him valuable assistance in all his undertakings in
their behalf. The place that they
have vacated in church and society
affairs will not readily be filled.
their presence, kindly counsel, loving Christian encouragement and
generous aid will be greatly missed by many, who sincerely mourn their departure
hence to their eternal reward. Of a
family of twelve children with which their union was blessed, eight survive
them and now fill honorable positions. |

Newport, Ernest

OBITUARY - In the
death of Ernest Stewart Newport, editor and publisher of the Deseronto Post,
the community has lost a good citizen and a bright, energetic worker. Though but 26 years old, he was well known
to the public and enjoyed a wide circle of friends. With determination to win, and increasing labor, he gained a
portion of that success which surely would have been his if death had not
claimed him so early. His honesty,
cheerfulness and forcefulness of purpose won for him the respect of all that
knew him. Mr. Newport served his apprenticeship with the Napanee Beaver, and
was later connected with The Daily British Whig, Kingston. In 1915, he took over the Deseronto Post,
and raised that paper to its present standing. He was an active member of the Board of Education in Deseronto,
and took a prominent part in all public and church movements. In 1917 he married Miss N. L. Windover, of
Napanee, who is left to mourn his loss. |

MARY S. OSTERHOUT -
The Church and society of Frankfort have sustained a great loss in the
death of our dear sister, the beloved wife of Bro. William Osterhout, of this
charge, one of our oldest and most
highly respected members of the Official Board, in the forty-third year of
her age. Her departure was very
unexpected, being stricken down of inflammation on the night of Friday, Jan.
14th. She calmly passed
away at an early hour on Sabbath morning, after a little over twenty-four
hours of great suffering. Our sister
was of a bright and cheerful disposition, which was improved by a full
consecration to God and the work of
the Church; having been converted in
early life, she was ever ready to perform well her part in behalf of the cause, and when the call
came she was found ready to go the way of all the earth without a
murmur. Before her departure she
called all the friends to her side to take a last earthly farewell, requiring
from each a promise to meet her in the better land, at the same time assuring
her heart-stricken husband that the time and way were short until they would
be reunited. Bro. Osterhout is
greatly broken down, this being the third companion taken from his fond
embrace, as well as several children.
Having acquired a competency of this world’s goods and provided well
for a large family, he and his departed companion had retired a little over a
year ago to a comfortable home in the village, where they expected to spend a
few happy years, and where our brother now is sad and alone, greatly cast
down but not forsaken. May the God of
all grace administer and comfort. We
laid her to rest, with due ceremony in the presence of a large concourse of
relatives and neighbors.

Outwater, Belyat |
OBITUARIES - BELYAT OUTWATER On Thursday, December 22nd, 1938, at his late
residence, Suite 9, Clayton Apartments, Young Street, Winnipeg, Man., Belyat
Outwater, aged 72 years, beloved husband of Sarah Outwater, passed away. Interment was made in Brookside Cemetery,
Winnipeg. He had been in failing
health for about one year, but was able to be around up to within three days
from the time he was confined to his bed. Bill, as he was familiarly known, was born at Hay Bay,
Ontario, September 24th, 1866, and remained on the old home place
until 1916, when he disposed of the farm and came west to Goodeye, Sask. He entered the services of the Canadian
National Railway in whose employ he served fourteen years, at Central Butte
and Fort Qu’appele Sask., as baggageman.
He retired from active service in 1932, and moved to Winnipeg. He was a staunch member of the former Methodist Church
long before Church Union. His birthplace
on the shores of the old Hay Bay, Ont., a historical spot on account of the
first Methodist meeting House in Canada having been erected on its shores,
this building still stands, and has been kept in such a state of
preservation, that memorial services are still conducted periodically. The Rev. W. E. Donnelly, Pastor of Young United Church,
Winnipeg, conducted the service at the Mordue Funeral Home on December 24th,
making particular mention of the historic birth place of the deceased,
emphasizing the excellent character of the U.E. Loyalists and paying a very
high tribute of respect to the departed.
Mr. Donnelly took his text from the 14th chapter of St.
John, verses 1 and 2: “In my Father’s
house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you, I go to
prepare a place for you, and if I go I will come again and receive you unto
myself, that where I am there ye may be also.” Mr. Donnelly’s remarks were very sympathetic and
comforting. “Asleep in Jesus” was
very beautifully sung by Mrs. Scott. The high esteem in which the deceased was held was made
manifest by the very numerous floral tributes. Mr. Outwater leaves to mourn his widow and two daughters,
Alberta of Winnipeg and Mrs. Harry Phillips of Ituna, Sask., also two
sisters, Mrs. Edward Dirby of Belleville, Ont., and Mrs. M. Arnold, Chatham,
Ont., and two grandchildren, Edna and Roy Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Outwater’s only son, Roy, died in Toronto,
October 28th, 1918. |

DANIEL OUTWATER - probably Napanee's oldest citizen,
passed peacefully away on Wednesday last. Mr. Outwater was born over 91 years

greater part of his life in that township. He afterwards moved to Richmond where
he lived for some years, and later settled in Napanee. Mr. Outwater was a son
of the late Balyat Outwater of Hay Bay, who was married twice, Daniel being a
son by the first wife and the last surviving one of the first family. Of the

Outwater, Mrs.
S.M. |
DEATH OF MRS. S. M. OUTWATER On Saturday, July 13th in Adolphustown, departed
this life a dear old saint in the person of Mrs. S. M. Outwater, aged 85, and
on the following Monday morning, after service by the Rector, Rev. Canon
Roberts, in her late home, a large concourse testifying to the high regard in
which she was deservedly held, her “tired body” was laid in St. Alban’s
cemetery, beside that of her good husband who predeceased her a little over
two years. While friends and
neighbors deeply sympathize with the sorrowing relatives left behind, yet
they cannot but feel it a matter for contest, nay rejoicing, that these two
old wayfarers, after a short term of separation, are now reunited in the fair
land beyond the sea, and there continuing and that more effectively, their
work for God begun here for “Lo from earth’s imperfect labour He hath call’d
them to His feet, There to work, where free from failure, Work is sweet.” |
