Palen, Victoria (nee Pierce)	In Memorial - The sudden death of Victoria, wife of J. Stanley Palen, of Waupoos, has cast a terrible gloom over that community and elsewhere. The deceased lady was greatly beloved and respected. Mrs. Palen was the third daughter of John and Lydia Pierce, of North Marysburgh. Her education was obtained from Picton High School, Toronto and Ottawa Normal Schools. Her devotion to the cause of education placed her to the front as a public school teacher. In her profession, it may be said, she had few, if any superiors. From the days of her lovely childhood she had been a constant inspiration to others. Her influence for good upon the young people in her neighborhood was very marked. She taught, not simply by word, but by act. We who knew and loved her, can recall that gentle womanly presence, the loving voce, with sweet compelling power. She met death as she had met life, with dignity and courage. She was a member of the Church of England. Her funeral on Sunday, Dec 21^st, at St. John’s church, North Marysburgh, was largely attended, though the weather was inclement. Rev. Mr. Kennedy and Canon Loucks officiated. The loss occasioned by Mrs. Palen’s death at the early age of thirty-seven, is keenly felt, and the sorrowing husband, relatives and friends have the deep sympathy of everyone. C.C.T.

Painter, John	JOHN PAINTER - The subject of this brief memoir was born in England in 1811 and came to Canada in 1844. During the time he was in England he was occupied on the farm, always finding plenty of work, as he was a faith man. He was brought up to the English Church, and for fifteen years previous to his coming to Canada he was a singer in it. Coming to Canada he came to Woodstock, and after a few days’ stay came to Blanshard, where he lived till the time of his death. He and his faithful partner struggled hard through many difficulties but never alone; for during the labors of Rev. Mr. Codville, a Primitive Methodist, he was savingly converted to God and in his struggles God’s presence was his greatest comfort. After his conversion to God he continued a faithful member to the Primitive Methodist Church. For years previous to his departure he suffered from a very severe affliction, which loosened his affections and desires for this world and strengthened them for that land where no shadows fall or afflictions are felt. He bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude and courage, often stating without a doubt that his peace was made with God, and that he was waiting God’s time. He passed sweetly into rest on the 7^th of Oct. 1885. [signed] E. A. Fear	May 12 1886 The Christian Guardian

Parks, Marshall	PARKS - At Napanee, on Saturday, January 7^th, 1939, Marshall Parks, aged 82 years and 9 days. The Late Marshall Parks Mr. Marshall Parks, for many years a conductor on the old Bay of Quinte Railway, the Canadian Northern Railway, and latterly the Canadian national Railway, passed away last Saturday at the home of his brother-in-law, George Greer, Napanee, after a lengthy illness.

The late Mr. Parks retired from active railway service about twelve years ago and since that time had spent the greater part of his time with Mr. Greer and his sister, Mrs. Greer. Several winters he spent in California with his son. Mr. Parks was well known, and very popular with a large number of people who came in contact with him when travelling on his trains during the forty-seven years he served as conductor. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Parks and was born just over 83 years ago in Rawden Township in Hastings. when still very young his parents moved to Prince Edward County near Picton, for a few years, and when he was about 18, they came to Napanee.

When the Bay of Quinte was taken over by the Canadian Northern he remained with the company and continued also when the Canadian Northern became part of the Canadian National. His runs were mostly in the Bay of Quinte district extending from Kingston to Picton and he thus became very familiar with a large number of the citizens of the district. His wife died about 14 years ago and after his retirement, the next year he came to Napanee to reside. He leaves one son, Herbert in California, who expected to be in town for his father’s funeral, but was unable to arrive in time because of trouble with the plane in which he was flying to Chicago. He expects to come to Napanee in about two weeks time. Mr. Parks leaves one sister, Mrs. Greer of Napanee. Another sister and a brother died some years ago.	Jan 11 1939 Napanee Beaver
Parks, Milo	One of the oldest and most highly respected residents of North Fredericksburgh died at his residence, on the north shore of Hay Bay, on Tuesday 29^th inst., at the ripe age of 87 years 4 months and 17 days. He was one of the very last of the second generation of U.E. Loyalist pioneers of the township and a capital specimen of that hardy and energetic race which ought long to live in the memories of the people. Mr. Parks was born, lived all his long and active life and died on the same farm, -a home hewed out of the wilderness of Upper Canada by his father Cyrenus Parks, who came here with the first of the early British refugees in 1784. The same farm has now been occupied by four hardy generations of men. The whole locality was long popularly known as 'the Parks neighborhood. The deceased was the youngest of twenty children by the same father who was twice married, and they nearly all lived to become active men and women. The descendants of the original Cyrenus Parks are now numbered by the hundreds, we believe. Of the deceased it could well be said "he was one of nature's noblest work, an honest man," - one of those whose word was deemed as good as his bond by all who knew him; a man of whom it could be well and truly said "you always know where to find him,' in all matters, in business, in politics and the church and in all moral movements. He was a man 'diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the lord', who truly feared God and honored the King. Though a man of very quiet and unpretending habits he occupied a very influential position for many of his active years. In municipal affairs he was a leading man in the township council and represented it in the County council; in politics he was one of the old reliables of the Conservative party; in the Methodist church he was a trusted 'stand-by' for two generations; his home was always open to ministers, Christian workers and to his friends and neighbors - a man 'given to hospitality' in its truest sense. He was noted, in his quiet way, for his liberality in all the works of his church, honoring God with his substance, and it is not to be wondered at therefore, that in business affairs, he was always well prospered and enjoyed in his declining years, the satisfaction of seeing his sons all successful and prosperous business men. About sixty-five years ago he married Miss Bathsheba Lazier, of Prince Edward County, also a member of a large and well known UEL family, who was to him, in all his long life and down to his very dying hours, a helpmate indeed. She still remains in good health, and well in possession of her mental and physical facilities though now past the eighty fifth milestone of an active life, and sixty-fifth of a happy wifehood. Their surviving children are Messrs John F., Albert C., and Charles B. S Parks, all well known farmers in their native township, and Mr. James Parks, who has for many years occupied a position in Kansas City post office. Their one daughter, Mrs. Rosetta Lucas, died in Kansas years ago. The funeral took place yesterday at the Hay Bay Methodist Church, near his home, and the body was deposited in Napanee vault.

Parks, Synthia Varty	OBITUARY - MRS. DAVID PARKS - Synthia Varty, widow of the late David Parks, of North Fredericksburgh, died on Thursday of last week, 27^th of Dec., at the residence of her son Archibald, at the ripe age of 87 years and 6 months. She was a native of Camden township, a member of the Varty family who were among the pioneers of that locality. She was a resident of North Fredericksburgh for over half a century, and was the mother of fourteen children, twelve of whom survive her. Some of them are among the well known and prosperous citizens of this and the surrounding county. Her eighty-seventh birthday was celebrated at her residence on the 21^st of June last, when seventy of her descendants were present, representing four generations. Fifty-nine more descendants were then reported, representing 129 in all, who are now living. She was a woman of great industry and quiet habits and had the satisfaction of seeing her large family all comfortably and prosperously situated.	1901 From the Hough Scrapbooks.

Parrott, Herman H.	PARROTT - At Camden East, on Sunday, Jan 10^th, 1915, Herman H. Parrott, aged 62 years. OBITUARY - The death of Herman H. Parrott, of Camden East, on the 10^th of this month, removes from this community a man who will be very much missed. Mr. Parrott was born and lived on the old homestead, near Switzerville, until fifteen years ago when he moved with his father and mother to Camden East in order to be near his only sister, Mrs. L. H. Stover. Since his removal he was engaged in handling stock through this section. He was a close and careful buyer, but his straightforwardness soon won for him the confidence and esteem of the whole community. He was a member of the Methodist church and a regular attendant at its services. He was also a strong temperance man, who always gave his vote to abolish the bar, and his personal influence to impress the young men he came in contact with never to form the habit of drink. Herman, as he was called by his friends, was a quiet unassuming man, but his fondness of humor and pleasant helpfulness made him a great favorite with his friends both old and young. He devoted nearly all his life to the loving care of his father and mother, who lived to a great age; his father being both deaf and blind for years and very helpless. To some sons that would have been a great burden and care, but not so to Herman. It seemed to him a pleasure to look after his dear old parents and minister to their wants, answering every whim and notion, and doing everything in his power to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. In fact his life in this respect furnished one of the most beautiful illustrations of devotion we have ever witnessed. He was confined to his bed about three months. During his illness he never murmured, but seemed perfectly resigned to God’s will. He sent for a number of his old associates and asked them to meet him in Heaven. For the last six weeks he was unable to speak. All the care and attention willing hands and loving heart could give him was of no avail. He leaves to mourn his loss an only sister, Mrs. L. H. Stover, of Camden East, whom he loved very dearly, and three brothers, Emerson, of Saskatoon; Byron of Blackie, Alberta, and Arthur, on the old homestead. The funeral services, which were held in the Methodist Church, Camden East, were very largely attended evidencing the esteem in which he was held by the whole community.	1915 Scrapbook Clipping

Patton, Archdeacon	ARCHDEACON PATTON, D.D. - The late much lamented Archdeacon Patton was born of English parentage about the year 1806, in the County of Donegal, Ireland, and the son of Major Patton of the British army. He came with his parents at an early age to Canada, and the Patton family settled on the Bay of Quinte, in the township of Adolphustown. He, in his early years, was educated (in part at least) under the Rev. J. Braithvaite, M.A., Rector of Chambly, in the province of Quebec, who was an eminent teacher in those early days of provincial educational matters. In or about the 1829, he was ordained successively deacon and priest by the then Bishop of Quebec, (Canada’s only bishop at that period) the Hon. Right Reverend Charles James Stewart, D. D., and was appointed to the then mission of Kemptville, where he laboured many years very successfully as its first rector; and no one can visit that interesting parish, but must note the enduring effects of the pastoral zeal and energetic efforts of that first able and judicious parochial administrator. In 1846, he was appointed by the late Bishop in Toronto in succession to himself and such other zealous men as Salter J. Mountain, Archbold, and Lindsay, Rector of Cornwall, Here, for a period of over twenty-five years he laboured and successfully too, following directly in the wake of such great missionary spirits, and contributed largely to make Cornwall the model parish of the Diocese of Ontario in order, liberality and zealous parochial efforts. Whilst Cornwall and the whole of the Diocese of Ontario was a portion of that of Toronto, he was latterly Rural Dean of the Eastern District, which position he continued to hold until the new one of the former was created. Here his zeal and ability were pre-eminent, as in other matters. About fourteen years ago the degree of Doctor of Civil Law, or D. C. L., was conferred upon him by the University of Trinity College, Toronto. In 1871, he was unanimously elected Prolocutor of the Provincial Synod assembling in Montreal, and in succession to the Rev. Dr. Beaven, of Toronto, who had previously held the office at each session since its constitution in 1861. Again, in the special sessions held in 1872 and 1873, which resulted in the election of the Missionary Bishop of Algoma, he most ably filled the Prolucutor’s chair as at first. On the death of the late Rector of Belleville, the Rev. John Grier, M.A., in October, 1871, Archdeacon Patton, was nominated to the Rectory, and he was inducted as such on the 30^th of November of the same year. During his brief tenure of office in Belleville, the beautiful Grier memorial window in St. Thomas’ Church, and the new and elegant ecclesiastical rectory are momentoes of his zeal and energy, and the noble Bishop Strachan Memorial Church, in its origination and construction was one of the latest of his zealous efforts at Cornwall, previous to his leaving it.

Paul, William M.	PAUL - At Camden on Sunday, 10^th October 1909, William M. Paul, aged 66 years and 8 months. WILLIAM MATTHEW PAUL - At his home, near {ripped page}, after four days’ illness {ripped page} of October 10^th, 1909, there passed peacefully to his rest, one of Camden’s most successful farmers, Mr. Wm. M. Paul, in his 67^th year. Deceased was born on the old home farm, now occupied by Joseph Paul, near Newburgh, March 24^th, 1843. He was the second son in the family of eight sons and four daughters of the late Jas. Paul. He received his education at Newburgh Grammar school, obtaining a first-class certificate and also succeeded in passing his exams in Civil Engineering. Mr. Paul was a man of unusual intelligence, having read and travelled much. When nineteen years of age, his health being delicate, he took a trip to San Francisco. While there he and some of his companions were decoyed on board a whaling vessel, and there forcibly detained. When Mr. Paul found himself kidnapped and the vessel had set sail, he made the best of the situation and went manfully to work to learn the management of the ship and soon became a favorite with master and men. After six months whale-fishing he was allowed to go ashore at a South American port, where he secreted himself until his ship left port, then by the directions of Spaniards, whose language he could not speak he found a British ship bound for Australia, on which he took passage and from thence he made his way homeward via Scotland and England, visiting and studying many of the historic towns, especially Westminster Abbey. He arrived home, after an absence of four years. His journeyings had thoroughly restored his health, and on Nov. 5^th, 1872, he married Elizabeth Hinch, and settled on a farm near Wesley church, where he has been so faithful a worker. He made a life study of his Bible, and was a capable class leader and representative of the Wesley appointment, at the General Board of Newburgh Circuit. But in the Sunday School was where Mr. Paul did his most effective work. In him each child felt it had a personal friend and companion, and each juvenile ambition was to do or be “like Mr. Paul,” and it is small wonder that he and Mr. A. V. Price, (now retired), have gathered around them the largest Sunday School on the Newburgh Circuit. As energetic physically as mentally, his death came as a shock to all who knew him, so gracefully was he growing old, one scarcely realized he was nearing the allotted threescore and ten years. The widow and sons have the sympathy of the community in their loss of a wise, kind and loving husband and father. The surviving sons are Walter and Norman, of Hinch; Vernon and Percy, at home. The brothers are Harvey and Joseph, of Newburgh; Stuart, of Bath; Shirley and Robert, of Saskatchewan, and Henry, of Kingston. The sisters are Mrs. Matilda Clancy, Newburgh; Miss Eliza Paul, Prince Albert, and Miss Hannah Paul, missionary to the Tsimpshean Indians at Port Simpson, B.C., now home on furlough. Rev. M. E. Sexsmith, his pastor, between whom and deceased existed a warm friendship and Christian fellowship, preached an eloquent sermon from II Cor., 4:16.	1909 Newspaper Clipping

Penner, Charles	Obituary - The Kingston Whig of last week reports the death of Charles Penner, Esq., of Kingston, aged 88 years. Mr. Penner was well known and highly respected by many readers of the EXPRESS. He was a gentleman of wealth and liberality and much kindness of heart. For years Mr. Penner owned a farm in Adolphustown, where he spent his summers, and took great satisfaction in introducing improved implements and systems of husbandry, as well as superior breeds of farm stock. There is no doubt but the system of farming in Adolphustown, and in the county was much improved by the influence he exerted. He was a fine type of the real “English Gentleman” and will long be remembered with pleasure by those who knew him.	Jan 5 1877 Napanee Express
Perceval, Harriett (nee Echlin)	THE LATE MRS. PERCEVAL - Was the Daughter of Leading Family of County Down. - Old friends attended the burial service in St. Paul’s church on Saturday afternoon for the late Mrs. Harriett Perceval, who passed away on Friday at the age of ninety-three years and eleven months. Canon FitzGerald made a very touching reference to the deceased venerable lady, whose life, he said, had been on of sweetness and gentleness. Her home for years was the centre of many of the activities of St. Paul’s church. Canon FitzGerald said that among the old friends who had come to look upon the face of the deceased for the last time was an aged man who when a boy had lived near the family home of Mrs. Perceval at Echlinville, County Down, Ireland. He said that Mrs. Perceval, who was then Miss Echlin, the daughter of one of the leading families of the county, was a beautiful young lady, and on Sundays he used to watch for her arrival at the parish church. She would drive up in a coach-and-four, and the footman would procede her into the church carrying her books to the family pew. That was about seventy-five years ago, and the memory of those far-off days lingered with the old man whom Canon FitzGerald said he brought to the Perceval home on Brock street to see the lady of boyhood memory who had lived to such a ripe old age.

Perry, J. Rud	OBITUARY – J. RUD PERRY – Universal consternation was expressed in Napanee on Tuesday afternoon last when it was learned that Mr. J. Bud Perry had died suddenly at Strathmore, Alberta. Deceased and Mr. J. M. Bogart left about two weeks ago for the Northwest with a large consignment of young cattle. They reached their destination about forty miles east of Calgary, without mishap, and all was apparently going well. On Tuesday afternoon three telegrams arrived at the same hour, one from deceased stating that his cold was better and the cattle were grazing near Strathmore. The second was from Mr. Bogart, stating that Mr. Perry had died that morning, and a third from A. B. Perry, Regina, who had also been notified of his brother’s death. Deceased was suffering from a severe cold when he left Napanee, and it is most probable pneumonia set in and caused his sudden death. Mr. Perry was a victim of heart trouble which complication no doubt produced the suddenly fatal result. Mr. J. Rud. Perry was a son of the late Wm. Perry, of Violet, and leaves a bereaved wife and two daughters; also a brother, Commissioner A. I. Perry, Regina, of the Mounted Police and Mrs. W. A. Rockwell, Napanee and Mrs. Isaac Fraser, Ernesttown and Mrs. Leonard Davy, Pennelville, N.Y., half sisters. Heart failure carried off three brothers: Rev. Nathan Perry, Ludlow, Vermont; Daniel Perry and Edwin Perry, Violet. Deceased was a civil engineer and engaged in his profession for years in the Northwest, assisting in the survey of the main line of the Canada Pacific . He spent several years in Northern British Columbia, and in the Yukon as a miner, and was a man of wide experience, and a most entertaining conversationalist and companion. For the past four years he engaged in cattle raising, and last year sold his large ranch at Carstairs, Alberta, and returned to Napanee to reside. Mrs. Perry and her daughters, Augusta and Pearl, as well as the bereaved relatives, have the sympathy of all our citizens in this their hour of trial. His brother, Commissioner Perry left Calgary with the remains on Wednesday midnight, and will not likely arrive in Napanee until Sunday night. The funeral will probably be held at his late residence on Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock. A despatch received yesterday stated Mr. Perry died suddenly of heart failure.	From the Watson Scrapbooks

Phillips, Robert	OBITUARY - ROBERT PHILLIPS - for years, principal of Napanee Public and High Schools, died at Fergus, Ont., on Sunday, 26^th , aged 78 years. Mr. Phillips was, away back in the sixties and for years previous to that, one of most successful teachers and one of the most respected citizens of this county. He came from Scotland when a young man, and was at first employed in Squire Asselstine's factory on Mill Creek, a few miles below Odessa. He was then induced to take his first school. That was about in 1842 and he taught there three years. He then went to Bath and taught successfully there for six years. In 1855 he was induced to come to Napanee and take charge of the Grammar School here. The school buildings were then located on Robert street, just back of where the Western Methodist church now stands. The trustees here then were Dr. Carey, chairman; John Benson, secretary; John Stevenson, Jas. Blakely, Allan Templeton and John Gibbard. All are now gone but our venerable townsman, John Gibbard. Napanee was then a village of 1,400 inhabitants, and some of our now leading townsmen in Napanee and the county were among his pupils. He continued to teach here until 1867, when he voluntarily retired, much to the regret of the townspeople. He moved to Fergus, where he has ever since lived. He was also a leading spirit in the Presbyterian church here and took an active interest in the building of the present church. He was a man very highly respected and much beloved, and did well his duty in his day and generation. (**Beaver Aug 31 1900)	1900 From the Hough Scrapbooks
Philp, Mary E. (nee Marshall)	MARY E. PHILP - Daughter of John and Mary Marshall, was born in Port Hope on the 11^th of July, 1859, and died in Hamilton on the 7^th of February, 1886. She was baptized by the Rev. Richard Whiting, now President of the Montreal Conference. She was surrounded by the influences of a religious home, and when yet a child accepted Christ as her Saviour, under the ministry of the late Rev. J. B. Howard. She subsequently lost to some extent the evidence of her acceptance with God, but in a series of revival services conducted by the Rev. John Philp, M.A., during his pastorate in Wesley Church, there was restored unto her the joy of God’s salvation, and she united with the Church. On the 26^th of November, 1884, she was married to Mr. Henry Philp, and the union was one which promised long years of happiness, but alas ! in the hour of deepest joy, a dark cloud overshadowed the home, and the young wife and mother was told that medical skill could do no more, and that she was already in the valley. She was neither terrified nor agitated. As the writer and her relatives met in the chamber of death, and, at her request, dedicated her babe to God in Christian baptism, many were the words of faith and victory which fell from her lips. With a full clear voice she sang, “I’m going home to die no more,” the same words which her sainted father sang on his death-bed. It was my mournful privilege to impress the lessons of her life and death upon the minds and hearts of a large congregation in Wesley Church (Hamilton), from the words of the prophet, “Her sun is gone down while it was yet day.” [signed] W.J. Hunter.	July 28 1886 Christian Guardian
Phippen, Fannie	FANNY PHIPPEN – Just three months ago, the late lamented William Phippen died, and now the family have suffered a second terrible bereavement in the death of the eldest daughter, Fanny Phippen, a noble young woman. She was laid in the vault at Sandhurst on Sunday last, the 12^th, inst., amid a large concourse of deeply sorrowing relatives and friends. Miss Phippen was deservedly beloved and valued by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed by her family, her church, and by the whole community; for one more useful, more unselfish, or more charitable it would be hard to find in all the land. Her funeral sermon was preached in St. Paul’s church, Sandhurst, by the Rev. R. S. Forneri, on Sunday morning, from the text, “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” a text, the preacher said, suggested by an observation of the deceased on her death bed. “Why should I fear death,” she said, “it is only like going from one room to another of my Father’s house.” The sermon was devoted to the expanding of this beautiful and consoling idea, which embodied the truth, that earth and heaven and paradise, the world visible and the world invisible are only so many shadows of our Father’s house. In the course of the sermon the preacher described the Christian character of the departed. “She had remembered her Creator, he said, in the days of her youth, and consecrated her earliest years to Christ. She had so numbered her days as to have accomplished life’s great end while it was yet morning, and hence she met the early summons to depart, and death’s awful conflict with a heart sweetly subdued by grace, with a faith in God which many waters could not quench, and with a hope of glory and blessedness to be realized in heaven, which shone out full and bright over the valley of the shadow of death, and cheered her passage through it.” Cold, cold lies the sod on a heart once as warm As ever to earth was given, And sadly and wild moans the winter’s storm, On as gentle a breast and comely a form, As ever seemed moulded for Heaven.

Pixley, Mabel	On Monday morning came the sad news from Kingston of the death of Miss Mabel Pixley, second oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner Pixley, after only a few days’ illness with scarlet fever, aged sixteen years and ten months. Three weeks ago Miss Pixley left her home to clerk in one of the stores in Kingston, and on Monday week she walked to the hospital, not feeling well, and she had improved so much her father expected to drive to the city and bring her home this Monday or Tuesday. But on Saturday typhoid set in and after two days of terrible suffering she died Sunday night. Her father and cousin drove in on Monday and brought the remains direct to the cemetery, where a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends were waiting. After the reading of the burial service by Rev. Mr. Hanna the burial took place in the family plot. The funeral sermon will be preached Sunday morning, at the M. E. Church. Miss Pixley had many friends, who loved her for her gentle and affectionate way, and she will be sadly missed, especially in her home, where she was always trying to make those around her happy. Her parents, three sisters and two brothers, besides her aged grandmother, and a host of other relatives, are left to mourn, and they will have the sympathy of all in their great grief.

Price, Adelaide (nee Demille)	MRS. ANDREW V. PRICE (ADELAIDE DEMILLE) - The subject of this sketch, was born at Northport, Jan 3d, 1831, and died at Newburgh, July 6^th, 1904. Her father was Peter I. Demille of United Empire Loyalist stock, one of the sturdy pioneers to whose intelligence and integrity we owe so much in the making of our country. Nurtured by the rippling waters of the Bay of Quinte and amongst the graves and orchards of Prince Edward County, she retained throughout a long life, a passionate fondness for nature in all her variant moods. In the early fifties she attended the Normal School at Toronto, which was then showing the influence of the strong mind of Dr. Sangster. The trip to Toronto was made by stage coach. The writer has heard her describe the city as it then was - a commons north of Carleton St., and only a sparse settlement between Carleton and Queen sts. Afterwards she attended for a time the Newburgh Grammar School, which was then the leading educational institution of the district. In September 1855 she was married to Andrew V. Price of Camden township who still remains to mourn a faithful companion and affectionate wife. Her talents and nature were such that she would have adorned any station and in the sphere, into which Providence cast her life, she served with eminent ability. In all that pertains to the duties of wife and mother she evidenced superior sagacity, devotion and kindness. Her end was sudden, but found her not unprepared. From earliest years, an ardent Christian and a consistent member of the Methodist Church, she ripened in Christian character with the progress of the years and toward the last had been literally living in heavenly places in Jesus Christ. The Bible reading for her last day was about the heavenly mansions prepared, and though still in usual health, the theme impressed her sufficiently that she called her husband’s attention to it and together they made it the subject of comment and pleasant anticipation. While driving through the streets of Newburgh with her husband on the afternoon of the 6^th of July, the horse shied at a wheel that was being run across the road from one carriage shop to another, and after running a short distance, upset the buggy, resulting in fatal shock to herself and serious injury to Mr. Price. She lived but fifteen minutes after the accident and was scarcely conscious but though not privileged to leave a parting message to those she loved, she had already done this in writing unknown to the family. Needless to say they consider this a priceless treasure. Six sons carried the mortal tenement to the grave. The funeral address was preached by Rev. J. F. Mears to a large assembly of sympathizing friends. Of a large family all were present save one, Mrs. Malcolm C. Shorey of San Dimas California. Other daughters are Mrs. W. J. Delmage of Camden, Mrs. J. F. Hawley of Napanee, and Mrs. M. H. Coburn of Pentwater, Mich. Her sons are A. M. Price and Dr. Weston A. Price, M.E. of Cleveland O.: Dr. F. D. Price of Toronto; Dr. Norman W. Price B. Sc. of Niagara Falls, U.S; Rev T. W. Price B.A. of Elm Creek, Man, and Reginald B. Price, who resides at home. These all, with the father, share a lively expectation of meeting the sainted wife and mother when travelling days are done. If lives are measured by influences we feel no hesitation in saying that the subject of this sketch has blessed the world with the most potent and permanent kind of service. Truly she being dead yet speaketh. Her children shall rise up and call her blessed.	1904 Newspaper Clipping
Price, Cornelius Valleau (Judge)	Death of Judge Price – PASSED AWAY AT 2:30 O’CLOCK FRIDAY MORNING – Retired in Splendid Spirits – Spent Thirty-five Years on Bench – Was Seventy-nine Years of Age – Sketch of His Career. Judge Price of Kingston, died suddenly about 2:30 o’clock Friday morning, from heart failure. His death came as a cruel surprise to family and friends, as it was wholly unexpected. He retired Thursday night in splendid spirits. As usual, he spent the evening with his family, and all commented on the fact that he seemed to be feeling unusually well. He was downtown Thursday afternoon, and discoursed brightly with all with whom he came in contact. No one who witnessed his joviality and sprightliness expected to hear next morning of his passing. Such an expectation was farthest from their minds. But such is life. Often the sun of happiness is quickly obscured by the dark clouds of grief. Shortly after two o’clock in the morning the Judge awakened his daughter, Miss Price, being in much distress from his heart. She telephoned for Howard S. Folger and family and for a doctor, but before they arrived he had passed away. Mr. Folger and family, who had left him only a few hours before, were grief-stricken to find him lying cold in death. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS ON BENCH – judge Price spent over thirty-five years on the bench, retiring in the latter part of 1913. He was an excellent judge, learned in the law, kindly and discerning. He always tempered justice with mercy, and being a keen student of human nature, he rarely made a mistake in those to whom he gave an opportunity to forget the past. His judgments were invariably sound, and it was a rare thing for an appeal to be taken and a rarer thing for it to be allowed. SKETCH OF CAREER – Cornelius Valleau Price was the son of Thomas Price, and his wife, Catherine Valleau, both of United Empire Loyalist descent, and was born in the Township of Camden, Addington County, in 1837. He was educated at the Newburgh Grammar School and at queen’s University, from which he graduated an L.L.B. in 1863. He was called to the bar in 1865 and practised his profession at Kingston in partnership with B. M. Britton, now Justice Britton, Toronto. He was appointed judge of the County of Frontenac by the Earl of Dufferin, May 25 1878, and a Surrogate Judge of the Maritime Court of Ontario by the Marquis of Lorne, March 3, 1879. He sat in the Kingston City Council from 1870 to 1873, representing St. Lawrence Ward. He was one of the promoters of the Kingston and Pembroke Railway, and was the first solicitor to that company. He was also a trustee of the Collegiate Institute and a governor of the General Hospital. He was elected President of The Ontario Building and Savings Society of Kingston in 1897. In religion the late judge was a Methodist, and was a faithful attendant of Sydenham Street Church. He was a Liberal in politics, and previous to his appointment to the bench took a deep interest in his party. HIS PRIVATE LIFE – In 1868 he married Elizabeth, daughter of the late John Waudby, formerly Clerk of the Peace, Kingston. After nearly half a century of singular happiness, Mrs. Price passed away a year ago last June. The Judge and Mrs. Price were much devoted to each other, and her passing was a sad loss to him. Two daughters, Mrs. Howard S. Folger and Miss Ida Price, survive, and much sympathy is expressed to them on the passing of an affectionate father. Judge Price will be much missed. He was a kind man, a good citizen and a firm friend.	Ca. 1916 From the Watson Scrapbooks

Price, Edward Rogers	OBITUARIES - THE LATE E. R. PRICE - The death of Edward Rogers Price of Empey Hill, which occurred on Wednesday morning, June 8, after an illness of only five days, with pneumonia, came as a great shock to his relatives and many friends throughout his home district, where he was exceptionally well known and held in very high esteem.

Price, Selby, and was born at Mountain Grove, nearly forty-six years ago, where he resided until a young man, when he enlisted in the Great War, and went Overseas.

Hudgins, and purchased the farm where he lived until his death. To them was born one daughter, Marjorie, now fifteen years of age, and attending Deseronto High School.

The pall bearers were the immediate neighbours and the young men of the community carried the flowers. Interment was made in Riverview Cemetery, Napanee.	Scrapbook Clipping

Price, R. B.	OBITUARY - MR. R. B. PRICE - The subject of this sketch was born on June 8^th 1875 and passed to rest on February 23^rd 1924 in his 49^th year. His great grandfather, John Price, served in the British Army in the American Revolution, and for his services was given U.E.L. Grants to property in Addington County, and about the year 1800 he settled on Lot 12 Con. 4 of Camden Township. This farm has since remained in the Price Family, the deceased being the fourth generation that spent his life and died there. The four generations were prominent active members of the Wesley Methodist church. On January 23^rd, 1901, Mr. R B. Price married Miss Lillie Baker of Camden and their home was one of happiness, where their friends loved to visit and every Methodist minister found a royal welcome around the family board. He has for years held a prominent place on the Quarterly Official Board, Trustee Board, and has, with more than ordinary success, superintended the Wesley Sunday School for about ten years. Possessed of a good tenor voice he was often asked and was always ready to contribute to the programme of religious or social gatherings. He was a man of good judgment, kind hearted, sympathetic towards every need, giving good wholesome counsel to the youth of his Sunday School, interested in every form of church and social activity, a worthy and honored citizen, loyal to his Pastor, his church and especially to his Sunday School for which he thought and worked and prayed, a loving husband and a kind father. His passing leaves a place not easily filled. Though he did his work as usual his health had not been the best for some time. On January 16^th last, he suddenly became ill, and the same day was taken to Kingston Hospital, where he underwent a successful operation for appendicitis. He quickly recovered and returned home on January 28^th and was doing so well that it was thought his health would be better than before. But on the morning of February 23^rd, he was in fine spirits, and at breakfast he was suddenly seized with pains caused by adhesions, and in spite of care and medical skill he passed away in the evening of the same day. The funeral services were conducted by his Pastor Rev. Geo. Nickle, on Tuesday, February 26^th in the Newburgh Methodist Church, where the large attendance testified to the esteem in which he was held. The text used was 11 Tim 4: 6-8 The body was placed in the vault, to be later interred in the Camden Fifth cemetery. Deceased leaves a sorrowing wife, two sons, Clarence B. and Russell Valleau, and one daughter, Pearl, also five brothers, Albert of California; Frank D.D.S. of Toronto; Norman M.D., Eye, Ear and Throat Specialist of Niagara Falls, N.Y., Weston, D.D.S., of Cleveland, and Rev. Wilbur of Winnipeg; and two sisters, Mrs. Nettie Dulmage, of Cleveland and Mrs. Mae Coburn, of Michigan, U.S. Word reached Napanee on Sunday of the death of Mr. Reginald Price of Wesley. Mr. Price was operated on for appendicitis a short time ago and was making splendid progress, when a relapse set in. Mr. Price was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Price of Wesley, and was one of a large family who in early life identified himself to the church and who throughout his lifetime was a great worker in the cause of Christianity. He was a man of sterling character and his word was as good as his bond. His loss will be keenly felt in his home church at Wesley, also the County School Association of which he was an ardent worker. In early life he married a Miss Baker, who survives him, also one son and one daughter. His many friends will learn with sincere regret his passing and the sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved family. Miss Blanche Hawley, town, is a niece of the deceased.	1924 Newspaper Clipping

Pringle, Elizabeth	ENTERED INTO REST - On May 24^th, 1929, the white winged messenger of death entered the home of Mr. Robert Pringle, at West Plain, and bore to the Paradise of God the soul of Mrs. Elizabeth Pringle, widow of the late James Riley Pringle, in her 74^th years. The deceased had not been well for a few weeks, having been subject to several attacks of acute indigestion. From these she seemed to rally, and was apparently much better and able to be up. On the day of her demise she had dinner and supper with the family, but she suffered a severe attack, lasting but a few minutes, later in the evening, from which she never rallied. Her end was clear and triumphant. Of a retiring disposition she bore the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God of great price. She lived a beautiful, even life patiently, perseveringly, pressing toward the mark of her high calling in Christ Jesus. Her home was always open to the ministers of the Gospel, and of her hospitality many have partaken from time to time. The high esteem in which she was held in the neighborhood where she had spent all her days, was very manifest by the large attendance at her funeral, which was held in the United Church, by Rev. P. C. Bennett, assisted by Rev. A. E. Oliver, Pastor of the church. The service was very impressive throughout. The text used on the occasion is found in matt. 24:44. Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Pruyn, Elizabeth R. (nee Dorland)	Mrs. O.T. Pruyn. Elizabeth R. Dorland, relict of the late Sherriff Oliver Thatford Pruyn, died on Sunday morning at the residence of her son, Thomas Dorland Pruyn, ex-Mayor of Napanee, at the advanced age of 82 years. She was a native of Adolphustown, and she lived in this county all her life and was well known to many of the old readers of the Beaver. Her grandfather, John Dorland, was one of the pioneer settlers of Adolphustown. He was a prominent Quaker and it was on his farm in the third concession of Adolphustown, on the shores of Hay Bay, that the first Quaker meeting house in Upper Canada was built and the first burying ground of that society was established. Her father, Thos. I. Dorland, was also a well know and prominent Quaker, and inherited the family homestead, where he lived and died in 1869. He married Betsey Trumpour also an early native of the same township. They had six children of whom Deborah, the subject of these notes was the youngest child. She married Oliver Thatford Pruyn, then a young farmer residing on the front of South Fredericksburgh, just west of the boundary line of Ernesttown, where all their married days were spent. Mr. Pruyn was a prominent and much respected man and was appointed Sheriff of this county at the time of its separation, a position which he held until the time of his death, a little over six years ago. He was much attached to his farm, however, and never left it to take personal charge of the Sheriff's office, which was first filled by his brother, the late Matthew W. Pruyn, and later on by his only son, Thomas Dorland Pruyn. Sheriff Hawley succeeded to the office at the time of Mr. Pruyn's death. Since her husband's death the deceased has lived with her son at Napanee. He is just now absent at Victoria British Columbia - too far away to reach home for her funeral, which took place on Tuesday forenoon. Like her husband, she was a member of the Church of England, and they now have their last resting place, side by side, in St. Paul's church yard at Sandhurst - a church of which they were regular attendants for many years. She enjoyed fairly good health until a few months ago, when she slipped and fell on the icy ground near her own door and fractured the bone of her thigh. She so far recovered from that accident as to be able to walk about some again. As the result of that accident, and of her last sickness, she suffered a good deal of pain, and no doubt, it was a relief to be at last at rest - a happy change to enjoy that rest which remaineth to the people of God.

Purtelle, James	The Late James Purtelle - There passed away in Bloomfield on March 8^th, 1925, James Purtelle, in his 81^st year. Mr. Purtelle had been in ill health for only a few weeks, but was finally prostrated one week ago from a serious malady that caused unceasing suffering until death released him on Sunday morning last. James Purtelle was born in Glengarry county, of Irish parentage. This family comprised several children, the one who lived in close touch with our community life, was James Purtelle. He might have lived an absolutely obscure life, but circumstances and unseen destiny decreed otherwise, He was converted to Methodism when a young man; and his whole life has been an expression of a highly religious nature with marked mental ability, and a profound consciousness of his duty to his God and to his fellow man. His sympathy was tender and far-reaching. His devotion to his church, and every good cause, is so well known that it seems idle to narrate, since his life and character are indisputable evidence of a great soul, that from boyhood to old age was identified with everything that was uplifting in the social, religious and community life around us. James Purtelle was a minister of the Gospel in the truest sense; if not called to ordination by the Church, he was truly called of God, and his religious utterances were frequently heard in years past, especially in the Hallowell district. He was also an efficient class teacher, and many there are who recall his Christian profession, as one interested in the spiritual welfare of his fellows. In this service he remained active until quite recently, when ill health bound him closer to the home life. He married in early life Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbert Leavens, and there was born to this union, one son and one daughter - Edward B. Purtelle, who resides in Bloomfield and (Emma) Mrs. Andrew Van de Water, Picton. His second marriage was with Mrs. Nancy Rose Steinberg; with whom he lived most happily for three years and more. His brother, Thomas Purtelle, a highly respected member of the family, predeceased his brother three years ago and his brother Edward, Oshawa, is the only surviving member of that family and was present at the funeral. The funeral on Tuesday, March 10^th, was largely attended. Rev. J. J. Mellor, pastor of Picton United Church of Canada, officiated with great acceptance. Mr. Mellor spoke of his farewell visit to Mr. Purtelle, of his strong belief that he was “about to enter upon a new and wonderful life with his eternal God.” His faith, love and trust were so intensely real, that his countenance shone with the light from the other world - where, as he said “In my Father’s house are many mansions - if it were not so, I would have told you.” Miss Bull sang “Lead Kindly Light.” The floral tributes were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Ted Van de Water, a spray; Methodist Bible Class, a wreath; from the family, a pillow; Mr. and Mrs. B. Wilson, a spray; R. J. Purtelle, a wreath; Mr. and Mrs. Earl Purtelle, a spray; Mr. and Mrs. George Mitford, a wreath; Mount Pleasant Church, a spray; Hallowell Canning Factory, a wreath; Bristol’s staff, floral basket. Sympathy is expressed for the bereaved widow, and the family, who fell most keenly their loss. The Bearers were: William Gough, Peter Cave, Edwin Baxter, Clarence Mallory, Clayton Burr and Hubert McDonald. The interment was made in Glenwood cemetery.	1925 Newspaper Clipping

The funeral services were conducted at the family residence, one mile east of Bath, the birthplace of the deceased, by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Everson, assisted by a former pastor, Rev. J. Webster, Brock Street, Kingston. The text was a very appropriate and fitting one. “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit.: The morning being very fine the friends gathered in large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect to one they loved so dearly. The display of flowers and wreaths were sufficient to show the very high esteem in which our sister was held. Among which there was a wreath from Bath W.M.S. Auxiliary, many members being present.

Purvis after an illness lasting about three years, which took a more acute form about six weeks ago, being brought on by an attack of la grippe, from which he never rallied. During the last few weeks he suffered severely but he bore his pain very cheerfully. He was born in the County of Leeds, Township of Lyn, Ontario, May 22d, 1891 and was brought up in a Christian home. With his parents, he moved to Bath in March, 1903, where he lived until the time of his death. Soon after coming to Bath he received the new birth, and afterwards connected himself with the Bath Methodist Church, where he rendered active service for God until death called him home. His name was most frequently associated with his appearance, at church, Sabbath School or class meeting. During his prolonged illness he was somewhat deprived of these privileges, which deprivation he felt quite keenly. Throughout his sickness, and during the critical moments he was entirely resigned to the Will of God. Written upon his face was the evidence that he was looking forward to the time when he would see his Saviour face to face. All who knew him can testify of his zealous Christian character, unselfish in every way. The interment took place at Young’s Mills, Lyn, on Easter Monday, March 24^th. The service was conducted at the house by Rev. J. F. Everson, his pastor, who, in a very few but appropriate remarks, expressed the feeling and sentiment of the many who had gathered there to pay their last tribute of ** He leaves to mourn his loss, his father and mother, one brother, Stanley in Edmonton, and four sisters, Mrs. Dr. Nash, Kingston, Mrs. Judson, Cowansville; Mrs. Williams, New York, and Miss Clara, at home	1913 From the Watson Scrapbooks
