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

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. |

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. |

Osterhout Mary
S. |
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.

Ostrom, Margaret M. |
DIED - On Monday, the 24th June, in the
township of Sidney, of Hydrophobia, Miss Margaret M. Ostrom,
12 years, 5 months, and 16 days. The deceased was bitten by a mad dog on or
about the 14th May, but did not exhibit any symptoms of madness till Thursday
the 20th June, when she became deranged, and would attempt to snap at almost every thing that fell in her way, especially when water
was presented to her. During the time
she was seized with madness, and the time she died, a period of only four
days, she had several lucid intervals, when she would converse with her
friends, forgave the rabid animal which bit her, and expressed a sincere wish
to leave this world of sorrow and woe.
She wished that her case might be published to the world. The day preceding her death, the writer of
this short sketch saw her, and he never beheld such a sight. He believes that a pamphlet describing her
situation during her illness, is preparing for publication. The Editors of Newspapers in this Province
are requested by her afflicted relatives to insert this short obituary in

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. |

Outwater, Daniel |
DANIEL OUTWATER - probably Napanee's oldest citizen, passed peacefully away on
Wednesday last. Mr. Outwater was born over 91 years ago in the Township of
North Fredericksburgh, Hay Bay, and resided the 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 children by the second wife, there are still left, Mr. Nelson
Outwater, Mrs. Elisha Sharp, Mrs. John F. Parks, Hay Bay and Mrs. Whitney
Hawley of Bardolph. Mr. Outwater was married to
Miss Jane Huffman, of Hay Bay, who still survives him. Mrs. Wellington Guess
is their only surviving child. Mr. Outwater was an adherent of the Methodist
church and a staunch Conservative. (**Written in – 11th Mar 1903**). |

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.” |
