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 21st,
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.

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 7th of Oct. 1885. [signed] E. A. Fear |

renew the quarrel. They met and West challenged Parks to fight, which the
latter declined. West then struck Parks and in falling, his head came in
contact with a sleigh and is supposed to have fractured his skull. West
followed the blow with others and about ten minutes after the fracas ended,
Parks is dead. West immediately fled. Nearly one hundred persons were
present, but allowed him to escape without attempting to prevent him. West is
about five feet ten inches high, stout built, red face, light hair and no
whiskers. Had on when he left a California hat, grey pantaloons and blue
frock or smock. He is supposed to have gone the road to Kingston by the back

is a sad duty to record the death of Jason Parks, late of North

was born on the old homestead and left four years ago with his wife to spend
their declining years with their grandson Herb. C. Parks, at Berkeley, Cal.,
at whose home he passed peacefully away on Oct. 23rd. He was a life long
reformer, a devoted husband and a kind father, and having lived a consistent
christian life. Deceased was for years a councillor for the united townships
of North and South Fredericksburgh, and after the separation was elected
reeve of the township of North Fredericksburgh, and served in the county
council, after which he retired into private life. He was a son of Nathaniel
Parke (the name having been since), son of Capt. Parke, one of the U.E.
loyalists that landed at Adolphustown. Deceased was a member of Capt. Casey's
troop during the rebellion of 1837-38. Deceased married Miss Mary Ann Jackson,
who accompanied him to California, and died there three years ago. Death
is the wind up of all things. It is my sad duty to close this letter with
recording the death of Jason Parks, late of North Fredericksburgh. He has

was a son of Captain Parks, one of the U.E. Loyalists that landed at
Adolphustown. Deceased was a member of Capt. Casey's troop during the rebellion

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. His
funeral was conducted at Mr. Greer’s home on Monday afternoon by Rev. P. T.
Richards of Grace United Church and at the vault in Riverside cemetery, the Masonic Order conducted their service for
the dead. In the spring Mr. Parks’
body will be buried at Riverside cemetery. 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
Mr. Parks was 22 he married and went to live at Deseronto, at which time he
entered the employ of the Bay of Quinte Railway under Mr. H. B. Sherwood of
Napanee, as a conductor. 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

On Tuesday,
Feb. 20th, Milo Parks, the oldest resident of Hay Bay, died at the
ripe age of eighty-seven years, four months and seventeen days. Deceased was
of U.E. Loyalist descent and son of the late Capt. C. Parks, who came to this
country in those troublous times and settled in the Hay Bay district. Deceased
leaves, besides an aged widow, four sons, A.C. Parks on the homestead;
Charles B. and John F. on farms close by and James C. in Kansas City.
Deceased was a man of exemplary habits, a kind and thoughtful neighbor, whose
deeds of love will live for many a day in the hearts of his neighbors. The
funeral will take place today at one o’clock, to the Hay Bay Church, thence
to the Napanee Cemetery vault. 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 29th
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. |

Obituary
- Ralph Parks It
was on the 19th day of February last that the peaceful community of South
Fredericksburgh was shocked by the news that travelled over the busy wires that
Ralph Parks had been seriously injured by the falling of a large tree which
struck him. Fortunately
four brothers and the father witnessed the accident and immediately rendered
first aid. It was at once observed that the accident was a serious one, and
they promptly took him to his home and summoned Dr. Hall, who at once ordered
his immediate removal to the hospital at Kingston. A hurried consultation
with Dr. Mundell resulted in an operation which was skillfully performed, but
in spite of the best medical skill and unstinted nursing, care and kindness,
Ralph passed into the Great Beyond early in the morning of the 23rd of
February. Rapidly
as the news of his accident spread, still more so did the news of his death
when a whole community for many miles distant were
plunged into deep mourning for one they knew and loved so much. Yes!
It was Ralph Parks, a boy from one of the best homes in the country. A boy
who reflected those pious principles and all those strong and yet gentle
features of noble manhood which were so faithfully inculcated by loving
christian parents into his growing and expanding nature, that made him of
more than ordinary value as a man among men. Ralph
was not rash in his decisions nor unduly speculative
in his undertakings for he possessed the rare ability of a calm and
calculative meditation which saved him from many cares and sorrows so common
to others. In no instance is this more plainly seen than in relation to his
marriage. It
was on the 7th April, 1920, when 32 years of age, he married Laura, the
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Mellow, of Gretna. While this was not
everybody's business, yet everybody rejoiced over this happy union. It was
felt by all that a more beautiful and ideal example of conjugal relationship
could not be witnessed and on that ever memorable day this
happy couple were united in wedlock in the presence of a host of
admiring friends at the bride's home. It was immediately following this that
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Parks commenced to make their home on their new farm at
Hawley. It is not possible in this brief sketch to express the wholesome
devotion of these young people to the task of their life, starting out as
they had done on a new farm with everything to make for the present and
future too. One thing, however, must be said to their credit, and that is
they did not either neglect or forget their obligation to the church, as
should always be the case. They in the fear of God put first things first.
Laura was organist at Hawley Church, a post which she faithfully and lovingly
filled. Ralph was a member of the Official Board, was Secretary of the
Trustee Board and Secretary of the Sunday School, and all of these duties
were faithfully performed, the value of which will never be forgotten. The
funeral service was held at the home of the deceased's parents, where the
body was brought, and notwithstanding the bitter cold weather, hundreds of
people gathered to pay their last respects. Pastor Hoffman conduced the
service, assisted by the Rev. W.H. Truscott, and so there closed one of the
saddest chapters in the history of South Fredericksburgh. There
is an unending expression of sympathy for the young widow by everybody; also
for Mr. and Mrs. Archie Parks, the parents, together with the five brothers
and two sisters. |

is with sadness that we are called upon to chronicle the demise of William J.
Parks, who passed away early yesterday morning, at the age of thirty-two
years, four months and one day. Deceased had been very poorly for the last
six months, and had been slowly getting worse, until Thursday afternoon, when
he took a sudden change for the worse. Deceased was a young man, liked by all
he came in contact with, and his sudden departure from this world of care and
sorrow has cast a gloom over the immediate vicinity. His last hours were
spent in peace and happiness, and he died trusting in the Redeemer. The
sympathy of the community at large is extended to his grief stricken
relatives, who deeply feel the loss of such a good brother. The funeral,
which was largely attended, took place this afternoon at three o'clock, and

aged 62 years. OBITUARY
- The death of Herman H. Parrott, of Camden East, on the 10th 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. |

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 30th
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.
The foundation stone of this structure was laid in 1869. It is now one of the most stately and
beautiful ecclesiastical churches in the Diocese. - Intelligencer |

HARVEY PAUL - On Sunday afternoon, November 25th, 1917, J. Harvey
Paul died at his residence, north of Newburgh. Oldest son of James and Hannah Wood Paul,
he was born April 1st, 1841 at the homestead occupied by Joseph
Paul. Educated at Newburgh Grammar
School, he obtained a teacher’s certificate and taught school. He also assisted on his father’s farm until
he went to California during the gold rush in 1862. He returned after five years’ sojourn in
the mining camps, where he had many companions. He had fever at San Francisco, when his
brother, Will, joined him there. Will
was kidnapped and taken on a whaling vessel.
He was married on September 9th, 1868 to Mary Dunlop by
Rev. James Gray. He and his bride
moved to a farm near Lonsdale, where they lived until 1875, when he bought
his grandmother Woods’ farm, which has now been occupied by a member of the
family for nearly a century. He joined
the Methodist Church at Lonsdale in 1869, and has continued a faithful member
of the Wesley Church until his death.
Of a kind disposition and honest as the day, fair in his dealings, a
faithful husband and a loving father.
He leaves a large number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn
his loss. Quiet and unostentatious, he
believed in family and private prayer and bible study. He was also a member of the Church Board at
Wesley. The minister was always a
welcome visitor to his home. He is

could accomplish, until Sunday, at 2.20 p.m., when he passed peacefully away. On
Tuesday, November 27th, his Pastor, Rev. E. Farnsworth, conducted
a short service at the house at one o’clock, and a service at the Methodist
Church, Newburgh, at two o’clock. The
Pastor spoke feelingly from Rev. 7:9.
He said Brother Paul was a genuine kindly Christian. He had hosts of friends, but he had not
heard of one enemy. A large concourse
of relatives, and friends followed his remains to the vault. Those who knew him best will miss him
most. The widow and family have the
loving sympathy of the whole community. |

several months. During the earlier
stages of his indisposition he was tenderly cared for at the home of his
brother, Mr. R. W. Paul, Selby, from whose residence, on Tuesday, the funeral
cortege proceeded to the Methodist Church, where the obsequies were conducted
by Rev. E. B. Cooke, Pastor in charge.

and to die is gain” was attentively listened to by the many friends who came
to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. Mr. Paul was the eldest son of the late
William Paul, Roblin, and had numerous relatives in Lennox and
Addington. He leaves behind four

- At Camden on Sunday, 10th 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 10th, 1909, there passed peacefully to his rest, one of
Camden’s most successful farmers, Mr. Wm. M. Paul, in his 67th
year. Deceased was born on the old home
farm, now occupied by Joseph Paul, near Newburgh, March 24th,
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. 5th, 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. |

- 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. |

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 one 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, Ebenezer |
THE
LATE E. PERRY, ESQ. - SOME PARTICULARS OF HIS USEFUL LIFE From
a very full and eulogistic sketch of the life of the late Ebenezer Perry,
Esq., reeve of Sheffield, published in the Tamworth Echo we glean the following
particulars: - Mr.
Perry was twice married, first to Isabel Vrooman on the 22nd of
Feb. 1826, and lastly to Jennet Bartles, 10th
Aug., 1856. By his first wife he had
eight sons and two daughters, all of whom are married but one, Thomas. One daughter is married to Wilson Clark and
the other to Peter F. Carscallen. The
second marriage brought no issue, and the second wife, now widowed, is the
recipient of much sympathy. He
entered public life in 1840 as councillor, being elected to that office in
and for Ernesttown, and remained continuously in the Council up to 1858. In 1856 he was appointed Crown Lands Agent,
and took up his residence in Tamworth.
He was elected reeve of Sheffield in 1861, and was elected warden in
1872. Altogether he filled the office
of Reeve for Sheffield thirteen years and with great credit to himself and
profit to the municipality; and
closed an eventful life retaining the confidence of the public and wearing
the honor of that office, having been elected last January without any effort
on his part. During
his county councillorship many important questions were fought out and set at
rest; among them the separation of Lennox and Addington from Frontenac, and
establishing the County Town; there having been a keen strife between
Napanee and Newburgh for tit. He gave
his vote and influence in favor of Napanee, and it is mainly due to him that
Napanee got it. His
supervision of Sheffield matters in the council was most successful, and
distinguished him as a man of sense, and devoted to the work of improvement
and building up. His great influence
in the county council enabled him to get large sums of money on county roads;
sometimes obtaining out of the county funds grants for county roads in
Sheffield of a greater amount than the County rate paid into the
treasurer. So that he was “father of
the Township” (as he was often styled) in many respects. In
the election of 1872, for the Ontario Legislature, Mr. Perry was brought out
as a candidate for the riding of Addington, and was backed by all the old and
influential politicians of the riding; but the young men chose Mr. Deroche,
the present member, and as the Conservative candidate, Mr. Hooper, was a
young man, and the boys of both parties were spoiling for a fight, Mr. Perry magnanimously
waved his superior claim in Mr. Deroche’s favor and that after issuing his
address. That address showed how
deeply he had the true interests of the province at heart, and especially
this portion of it. Had he been
elected he would have proven his ability commensurate with the wider field.
He was by nature a politician and so keen in debate that few cared to do him
battle. All through life he was a
Reformer and an active worker in that party. |

affection 58 years; seven children; a numerous train of grand children and
great grand children; and a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Her
loss is extensively felt. In the various relations of life, as a wife, a
mother, a sister, a neighbour, and a member of civil and Christian society,
her exemplary conduct entitled her to the esteem of all who knew her. In early
life she embraced the religion of Jesus Christ, and was a member of the
Methodist Church about 40 years, during which period she gave practical
evidence of the sincerity of her profession. She was distinguished for
charity and hospitality. Her doors were always open to the weary pilgrim.
Like the Shunaninite in the days of Elisha, in concurrence with her
hospitable, pious husband, she often furnished for the missionary 'man of
God' a chamber by the wall, with a bed, a table, a chair, and a candlestick,
that, when passing that way, he might turn in and lodge there and eat bread,
as the Prophet did of old; and, for many years, her house was an occasional
chapel for religious worship. While able, she was a strict attendant upon the
appointed ordinances and means of grace. Having, by her example, taught
surviving friends how to live, she was enabled by Divine grace to teach them
the more difficult lesson, how to die. She left the world in a triumph of
faith. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." |

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. |

- At North Fredericksburgh, on Monday, March 15th, 1920, Mary Katherine,
beloved wife of George W. Perry, aged 58 years and 6 months. Mrs.
Geo. Perry There
passed to her rest at Gretna on March 15th, one of the neighborhood's finest
christian characters, in the person of Mrs. Geo. Perry. Mrs.
Perry had been suffering for some time with pernicious anaemia, and the
grippe took hold of her and in her weakened condition could not throw it off.
However, her last illness was a lesson to all who beheld her patience and
faith in God. She never murmured or complained, but was ready to accept God's
mandate and obey the summons when it came. Mrs.
Perry was born in 1861 at Hay Bay, her maiden name being Mary Catherine
Quackenbush and she was the last surviving member of that family. She
received her early education at Hay Bay, and in early life took God as her
guide. She was married to Mr. Geo. Perry on Jan. 27th, 1885 by the Rev. Mr.
Bates, of Napanee, and their union was blessed with two children, Alma, at
home, and Mrs. Edward Hambly, Gosport. These, with the sorrowing husband,
have the sympathy of the entire community. Died
at North Fredericksburgh on Monday, March 15th, 1920, Mary
Katherine, beloved wife of George W. Perry, aged 58 years and 6 months. The
funeral will take place from her late residence on Wednesday at 12 o’clock

William
Hawley Perry, Esq., - one of the old and highly respected residents of this
county, died at the residence of his son, Mr. J. Rud Perry, C.E., here on
Monday morning last, after a brief sickness of four days, aged 87 years. Mr.
Perry was born in Ernesttown on the 10th of November 1810, and spent all his
life time in his native township. He was a man of great energy and industry
and did well his share in building up this county and making it what it is.
His father, Daniel Perry, was also a life long resident of the same township,
a U.E. Loyalist, and well-known and successful farmer. He had a family of
nine children, of whom the deceased was the last survivor. When
Mr. Perry was yet a young man in his teens he bought from the Crown an
uncleared farm at what is now the Village of Violet, on which he built a log
house, such as nearly all his neighbors had at that time. On that farm he
spent all the active days of his very busy life. Being a man of much energy
he also engaged in other lines of business. At one time, in company with his
brother, the late A.B. Perry, Esq., he owned and carried on a saw mill and a
grist mill in the same locality. He had an interest in large contracts in
building, years ago, the Addington Government Colonization road, and the
large bridge across the Madawaska River, at what is now the Village of
Combermere and also in the carpenter work of our County Court House here in
Napanee over thirty years ago. He was for a time a member of the council of
Ernesttown and took an active interest in municipal and political affairs. He
also represented the township in the county council. In politics he was a
Liberal and did much to assist in the elections of David Roblin and the
earlier elections of Sir Richard Cartwright in this county. He was also an
active temperance man and took a prominent part in the old Dunkin Act
contests in Ernesttown in the early sixties. He was nearly a life long member
of the Methodist church and took an active interest in all that pertained to
its work. He often referred to the fact that he was converted at the age of
15 years, under the ministration of Father Healy, one of the pioneer
Methodist preachers, at the old "Fourth Concession Chapel," the
second Methodist church built in Upper Canada. He always remained a faithful
member thereafter, and was at his regular place in the church here the Sunday
previous to his death. Only a few Sunday evenings before he fell pretty
heavily in leaving the church and the injuries he then received, no doubt,
hastened his end. He remained on his farm till a few months ago when he left
it to spend the remainder of his days with his son, Mr. J. Rud Perry of John
st. Mr.
Perry was twice married, first to a daughter of the late Nathan Fellows, of
Ernesttown and a sister of James Fellows, Esq., of East street. She died many
years ago leaving some children. He afterwards married Eleanor, daughter of
Capt. Daniel Fraser, who was a native of the locality of violet, and who
survives him. Though now over 80 years of age she was constantly at his bed
side from his first sickness until his eyes were closed in death. After he
ceased to be able to speak the deceased by his eyes, with their looks, and
kindly smiles, gave indication of his loving recognition of his faithful life
companion. His end was very gentle and peaceful and such as Lord chesterfield
said to a young sceptic, "See how a Christian can die." Mr.
Perry had nine children, only five of whom survive him. these are Martha,
Mrs. W.A. Rockwell, of John street; Sarah, wife of Isaac Fraser, of
Ernesttown; Electa, wife of Rev. Leonard Davy, of Pennelville, N.Y.; J. Rud,
of Napanee, and Major A.B., of the North West Mounted Police, who has
returned from his trip to England and Ireland, where he was in charge of the
N.W.M.P. during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebration, but was taken ill in
Montreal on his return and was unable to be present at the deathbed or
funeral. Two of his children, Mrs. James F. Madden, York road, and Edwin died
within the past year or two. The
funeral services were held at his late residence on Tuesday afternoon and
were of a private character; the body being deposited in the vault here, but
will be buried in the violet cemetery, beside those of several members of the
family. The services were conducted by his late pastor, Rev. W. Coombe, of
Violet. Dr. Crothers, Rev. W. Limbert, Selby, and Rev. E. S. Shorey also
assisted. |

OBITUARY
- ROBERT PHILLIPS - for years, principal of Napanee Public and High Schools,
died at Fergus, Ont., on Sunday, 26th, 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) |
