secured it. She taught a school on the
High Shore in Prince Edward County, just across the Bay from her home, at
Gosport, but on account of ill health gave it up about a year ago. She had high hopes of returning after a few
weeks’ rest, but this was not b be. A

beginning of the end, as she was too weak to throw if off. She passed away on Friday morning, Oct. 16th,

school is shown by the number of her pupils who came over to attend her
funeral. She was a favorite with both
young and old. She was a member of the
church and ready to help in any way she could in church work. In spiritual matters, she was an earnest
searcher for the truth and had a deep ongoing to know the full meaning of the
Gospel of Jesus, and to have an intelligent experience of salvation. The many verses marked in her bible showed
she read it well and loved its truths.
She fully trusted in Jesus as her Saviour. The funeral service was conducted by her
Pastor in Hay Bay church on Sunday, Oct. 18th at 1 p.m. His text was John 3:16. A large number were present . A number of beautiful floral wreaths were

Died - At Adolphustown, on Monday the

fortitude and patience, Caroline, wife of Mr. Orrin Ranney, aged 49 years.
her piety was without ostentation, and her zeal for the promotion of religion
was manifested on all proper occasions. There are many who survive her that
cannot soon or easily forget her earnest solicitations to accompany her to
the house and worship of God, and her marked attention and devotion while
there could not fail to convince them that she was sincere. It may be truly
said of her that she died as she lived, in the fear and love of God and in
the faith of his blessed Son Jesus Christ, - and her last closing scene of
life, her final struggle with the king of terrors was well calculated to
excite in the breast of every person then surrounding her couch something
like the following beautiful and scriptural wish, "Let me die the death
of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." She has left eight
children with her consort to deplore her loss.

ANN JANE LOVE - At her home at
Reidville, Ann Jane Love, relict of the late Robt. Jas. Reid, entered with
sweet anticipation into rest Christmas night shortly after midnight, aged 83
years. Only a few days earlier had she
taken to her bed, she had no organic trouble, and the end came rapidly as she
slept. Mrs. Reid was born Sept. 1832,
at Kingston, Ont., being the daughter of Michael and Eliza Love, who came out
to this Province from Cork, Ireland, and settled in the Limestone city. Afterwards, the family removed to Camden
and Mrs. Reid graduated from the Newburgh Academy and taught school at
Tamworth and Reidville, where she married Robt. James Reid in 1859, in Camden
East Anglican Church. The family
consisted of 5 sons and 2 daughters, five of whom survive, namely Harper,
Albert, Fred, May and Alma. For over
half a century she had lived on her farm, beloved by all who knew her. In 1908, her husband predeceased her. He was a man of sterling character. In August 1913, her beloved son, E. J.
Reid, was suddenly drowned in Gambier Bay, Alaska, and probably so great was
the shock of the sad news that her former health and strength never
returned. Ann Jane Love was the salt
of the earth, an honoured parent, an affectionate mother, with dutiful and
worthy children, a loyal church woman, a faithful Christian. A large cortege attended her funeral at
Camden East Church, on Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Rural Dean Jones, of
Tamworth officiating, being assisted by Rev. R. W. Spencer, Rector of Camden
East. The text was “A Good Name” Prov.
XXII, I. Her Christian works will be
missed now she is gone. But the memory
of the just is blessed; and right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death
of His saints. |

seeing anything of Mr. Jas. Reid, she started looking for him and was
horrified to find his body lying on the floor of the barn where he had
evidently fallen from the hay mow. Dr.

been killed evidently from a fall, and that his neck was broken. Dr. Wilson notified the coroner, who after

E. |
Mr. Rendell's death, though not
unexpected, nevertheless caused a feeling of sorrow throughout the town.
Coming from England at the age of two years, and his whole life having been
spent in this immediate vicinity, gave ample opportunity for his sterling
qualities and true manhood to make themselves known. His parents settled in
Ernesttown, where deceased's boyhood days were passed. When ready to choose
his calling he selected that of builder and contractor, and served and
apprenticeship of seven years with Mr. John N. Hough, Gretna. Most of his
work for the twenty-five years he was in active business, was done in the
country about town, where he had a very large acquaintance, and by whom he
was well liked and much respected. When his health prevented the carrying on
of this business he moved to town and took up life insurance, and proved a
very successful agent. In 1882 he was married to Miss Phoebe A. Hawley,
daughter of the late Samuel Hawley of Gosport. She survives him, together
with an eight-year old daughter. A son was also born to them, but died in
infancy. Deceased was a man of exceptionally rugged constitution, and being
very ambitious, was went to give too little attention to proper protection
against the weather. As a result he contracted a heavy cold, which was
followed by others, and thus the seeds of consumption were sown. Early in
life deceased embraced the Methodist faith, and on coming to town to reside,
connected himself with the Eastern Methodist church of which he was a
faithful member. His long illness was borne with true Christian fortitude; he
seemed possessed of patience beyond limit, and no words of complaint were
ever heard from his lips. Truly a good man has gone to his reward. The
funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, from his late
residence, John street, thence to Napanee cemetery vault. |

sunset closes the Autumn day all too soon, so was closed this life, brief but
beautiful. The announcement of the death of Mrs. James Rennie starts the
teardrops of a host of friends, and many a heart throbs in sympathy for the

have done virtuously but thou excellest them
all"; it was she. The late Mrs. Rennie was born at Sillsville and spent
her life in that neighbourhood, a benediction to all who knew her. The loss
of this devoted worker to the Sandhurst Presbyterian church (of which she was
a member) is inestimable. After a painful illness bravely borne, she was
relieved by death on the second day of this month, while she yet lacked five
of three score years. She leaves a husband and daughter, Mrs. James Robinson,
and countless friends to mourn her loss. As her remains repose in the little
graveyard on the hill at Sillsville, many who were by her befriended, will
bless her memory. |

the 17th day of February, 1810. He was a son of the late Capt.
John Richards, a U.E. Loyalist and was the last survivor of a family of six,

and courteous manner made him a prominent figure and a general favorite at
home and abroad. He was also a man of sterling qualities, as all those who
had any business relations with him can testify. His word was a good as his
bond. He leaves a widow a few years his junior, and a family of five:
Councillor John Richards, of Amherst Island; (Mary Jane) Mrs. Wm. Robinson,
of Kingston; Augustus and Misses Nellie and Rachael at home. Deceased was a

BENJAMIN S. RICHARDSON In poor health for a considerable time
and confined to his bed for the past three months, the death occurred at his

a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Asa Richardson and a grandson of United Empire
Loyalists who many years ago came to North Fredericksburgh to reside. A
farmer for many years, Mr. Richardson disposed of his farm and purchased a
residence on the outskirts of Napanee where he resided for about twenty
years. Here he engaged in gardening and also had several acres of berry
bushes in which he took a considerable interest. Eighteen years ago he retired from
active work and moved to Deseronto. Two years prior to coming here, Mrs.
Richardson, who before her marriage was Miss Mary Kimmerly, passed away.
Several years later he was unite din marriage to Mrs. Brethour, Ottawa, who
died three years ago. Since that time a daughter, Mrs. Joseph Hicks and Mr.
Hicks, North Fredericksburgh had been with him. Although never aspiring for any
public office, Mr. Richardson took a keen interest in municipal, provincial
and Dominion politics. The present European war created much interest with
him and until a few days ago read his papers daily. He was a member of the
United Church of Canada. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs.
Joseph Hicks, an adopted daughter, Mrs. Harold Yeomans, and one brother,
George Richardson, Napanee. The Late B. S. Richardson Benjamin S. Richardson, a resident of

Richardson, James |
James Richardson died, last night, at
his residence on Stuart street. The late James Richardson was born in
county Tyrone, Ireland, in the year 1819. His father came to Canada when
James was three years old and settled in Adolphustown, where he died four
years afterwards, leaving his son an orphan, his mother having died soon
after his birth. Mr. Richardson has been a resident of
Kingston since he was ten years old. He first entered the employment of the
late Mr. Dawson and subsequently established himself in business
independently. He engaged in various commercial enterprises in which he was
remarkably successful and accumulated considerable property. He finally
concentrated his business in the grain trade. He was the first man who
exported grain from Kingston, and for more than thirty years he has
successfully carried on that business and has been the leading grain merchant
in central Ontario. During that period he has enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of the business and farming community by the integrity and uprightness
which have characterized his dealings. He was always loyal to Kingston, and
its interests. No citizen has been more prominently identified with the
growth of the city, and the development of its business enterprises. When the
present custom house was in process of erection the contractor was unable to
complete his work, and Mr. Richardson, who was the contractor's surety,
carried out the contract giving it his personal supervision for two years and
sustaining a loss in connection with 4% of several thousand dollars. Among the enterprises which he has
financially promoted are the Kingston & Pembroke railway, the cotton
mill, the knitting mill and the locomotive works. He has also been one of the most
liberal benefactors of Queen's university. Mr. Richardson was a life-long
conservative and voted for the late Sir John A. Macdonald at his first
election in the city of Kingston and was his faithful adherent throughout his
political career, whilst never obtrusive in the expression of his political
opinions. It is well known to many members of
the conservative party that it was Sir John Macdonald's wish on more than one
occasion that Mr. Richardson should stand as the conservative candidate for
Kingston. Until five weeks ago he retained to
all appearance the full mental and physical vigor of manhood. Although over
seventy years of age there was little in his appearance to suggest the old
man. He was then suddenly taken ill at his office and the vitality, which had
hitherto seemed unabated, was suddenly attacked, and it was evident that a
serious collapse had taken place. Until the last week his friends hoped for
his restoration to health, but during the past few days it became apparent
that he was sinking, and last evening at nine o'clock he quietly and
peacefully passed away. The late Mr. Richardson was a member
of Sydenham street Methodist church congregation and most regular and
punctual in his attendance. His pew was occupied every Sunday. He had high
regard for the church and was one of the most generous of its supporters. He
was always willing to aid in the undertakings of its most aggressive workers.
He never held office, but by sympathy and liberality backed up those who were
the burden-bearers. He was quiet, devout and faithful. He was, in early days, one of the
scholars in the first Sunday school in this city, conducted by the Methodists
in the old Bay street church. He was afterwards a teacher in the same school.
He was one of three of the old scholars at the late picnic of the Sydenham
street Sabbath school. He was greatly interested in the first building on the
present site of his church home, and a very liberal contributor to the
remodelled and beautified church of to-day. He regarded the transformation
with pride. Mr. Richardson leaves surviving him
his widow, his daughter, Mrs. (Rev.) E.A. Chown, and his two sons, who have
been long associated with him in business, and who faithfully maintain the
honorable record which their father made. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Kerr, of Australia, and Mrs. Allen, Kingston, both several years his senior.

The Late Mrs. Rae T. Richmond The death of Mrs. Rae T. Richmond who
passed away at her home on West St., Napanee, on Tuesday, May 3rd, brought
forth many expressions of sympathy for the bereaved family. Mrs. Richmond had
been ill for several months and despite surgical treatment failed to recover
from a serious malady. She was born at North Fredericksburgh
about 39 years ago and was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Young of
Napanee. When about twelve years of age, with her parents, she came to
Napanee and lived here until her marriage to Mr. Richmond, after which she
resided for two years at Hay Bay, then for seven years at Marlbank and in
Napanee for the past ten years. Besides her immediate family and
close relatives she leaves a large number of friends who sincerely regret her
early death. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Luke Young, her
husband and three children, Bruce, Hugh and Blanche all at home. Her funeral was held on Thursday
afternoon at St. Mary Magdalene's Anglican Church, of which she had been a
member since girlhood. The service which was attended by a large number of
friends, was conducted by the Rector Archdeacon R. J. Dumbrille, and interment
followed at Riverview cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. Walter Blakely,
James Gilbert, Garry Provins, Jack Caldwell, Henry Connolly and Harold Follis
- Napanee Beaver. Shortly after 11 o’clock on Tuesday
morning there passed away at her home on West Street, Amelia Jane (Millie),
beloved wife of Rae Richmond and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Young. Arrangements were completed for the
funeral service which will be held from the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at
2.30 on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Richmond was taken ill a year
ago last fall. For the past three weeks she had been confined to her bed. She
was in the hospital in Kingston some months ago where she underwent several
operations. In her 39th year, she was
born at Fredericksburgh, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Young. When she was
14 years of age she came to Napanee with her parents, her father having been
transferred by the C.N.R. to Napanee. Here she completed her schooling and
was a member of the Sunday School and choir of St. Mary Magdalene Church. At the age of 19 years she was united
in marriage to Rae Richmond and the first two years of their wedded life was
spent at Hay Bay. They then came to Napanee where they remained two years
after which they moved to Marlbank where they resided for six years. About
ten years ago they returned to Napanee, Mr. Richmond having been transferred
to the railway here. Three weeks ago Sunday she enjoyed a motor trip to
Marlbank. She had v very jovial personality,
was exceptionally well known and her friends were many. Until illness
intervened she was a regular attendant to St. Mary Magdalene Church. She leaves a family of three, Bruce
of the staff of the Dominion Bank, Napanee, Hugh and Blanche at home.

Mr. Jas. Rikley Died As Result of
Injuries Sustained In Accident Mr. James Rikley of Sillsville died
in Kingston General Hospital, on Friday afternoon, May 10th, as the result of
injuries he sustained on the previous Tuesday when a three-horse team hitched
to a disc ran away, dragging him over the field before they could be stopped. Mr. Rikley was given first aid
treatment at his home and later was taken by ambulance to Kingston General
Hospital. He sustained a compound fracture of the left thigh, a very badly
broken ankle and severe lacerations on his back. Little hope was held out for
his recovery from the time of his admission to the hospital, due to his age,
which was 75 years, and a bad heart condition. Mr. Rikley had successfully farmed on
Hay Bay, near Sillsville for many years and was well-known and well liked by
many friends near his home and in the town of Napanee. He was a Liberal in
politics and a member of the United Church at Sillsville. He is survived by his wife, formerly
Ida Brethen, one daughter, Mrs. Percy Hawley, one grandchild, and a brother,

Rev. |
DEATH OF CANON ROBERTS – Rector of
Christ Church, Cataraqui, Passes Away – Another clergyman of the Kingston
Diocese has been called by death in the passing away, after a long illness,
of Canon the Rev. William Roberts, preceptor of St. George’s Cathedral,
rector of Christ Church, Cataraqui, and a minor canon of St. George’s. The death of Canon Roberts has cast a
gloom over the whole diocese, in various parts of which he was an earnest
worker since 1868, when he was first ordained a deacon. He held many charges, and in each his death
brings the profoundest regret. As a clergyman, a musician, a scholar and a
citizen his presence had a beneficial effect on the community, and he will be
sorely missed. Born at Elmesmere, Shropshire,
England, seventy-four years ago, the deceased first turned his studies to
music. He became a Doctor of Music,
and in time was recognized as one of the most learned musicians. Only recently six of his hymn tunes were
adopted by the Mother Anglican Church for use in England, and this high
testimony to his musical worth brought letters from many titled people who
were interested in composers. In 1868
he came to Canada as organist for Hon. John Hamilton, brother of Archbishop
Hamilton. This charge was at
Hawkesbury. In the same year, having
been studying for the ministry, he was ordained as a deacon and appointed to
Roblin and Tweed. The next year his
ability as a speaker and his advanced studies with more experience brought
him the honor of being made a priest. In 1874, he was transferred to Camden
East, and then in turn to Shannonville.
In 1877, the late Canon Roberts took over the charge of Amherst
Island, and there for fourteen years, leaving in 1891 to go to Merrickville. He was in Merrickville until November of
1900, going from there to Adolphustown.
In 1904 while at Adolphustown he was made a canon. In 1915, he was appointed to Christ Church,
Cataraqui. A man who was held in great esteem by Canon Roberts was his
brother, the late Rev. Charles Roberts, who came to Canada in the pioneer
days, and was rector of Bourglouis, near
Quebec. A stained glass east window
was recently erected to his memory.
The late Canon Roberts leaves a large family to mourn his loss. Three sisters, Mrs. Lucas, London, Eng.,
Miss Jane Roberts and Mrs. Fisher, and one brother, John, at Four Crosses
Station are still living. Beside his
widow, he leaves five daughters and two sons as follows: - Mrs. J. A.
Johnston of Smith’s Falls; Mrs. D. M.
Allison, Camden, N.Y.; Mrs. F. H. Box,
Adolphustown; Charles A. Roberts,
Montreal; Miss Winnifred Roberts, Toronto;
Morris Roberts, Toronto, and Miss Dorothea Roberts, at home. He was twice married, his first wife,
formerly Miss Mary Higginson, Hawkesbury, who died many years ago. His second wife was formerly Miss Sarah
Elliott, Tweed, and she survives. The
funeral will be held on Friday afternoon from his late residence, Cataraqui,
to Christ Church, after which the remains will be transferred to Tweed for
interment. The canons of the diocese
will act as pall bearers – Kingston Whig, May 17th, 1917. |

Young Napanee Man, Donald Robinson,
Dies of Lock Jaw - Donald Robinson died Saturday
evening, November 11th, at Kingston General Hospital, where he had
been taken early the day before, suffering from lock-jaw. The late young man who was in his twentieth
year had been employed at Perry’s coal yard and had worked there until the
Wednesday night before his death. The
infection which ended in his death was thought to have been caused by the
sole of his foot being very slightly scratched by a nail in his shoe. The infection quickly spread, and when the
symptoms of the dreaded lock-jaw became apparent, he was removed by ambulance
to the hospital, Friday morning. After
intense suffering his death followed late Saturday afternoon. The late young man was the eldest

who died of pneumonia on the morning of Nov. 6th at the early age of 38
years. She was ill but three weeks, and often expressed a deep wish that she
might recover and prayed to be spared to her dear husband and children, but,

not without leaving her mourning friends with an assurance that she passed
from death unto life, and gone to be with Christ, which is far better. She
leaves a kind husband and two daughters in sad bereavement, but while their

THE LATE G. W. ROBINSON. Death of a
Well Known Ex-Alderman This Morning. Kingstonians were shocked this morning when
it became known that ex-Alderman George W. Robinson had passed away. For a
few weeks past he had been suffering with hemorrhage of the lungs, but his
illness was not generally known to his friends and acquaintances to whom the
news of his death came as a sad surprise. Mr. Robinson was born in the
township of Portland forty-seven years ago. When he was quite young, the
family removed to South Fredericksburgh, where the deceased had his schooling
and training in the occupation of blacksmith with the firm of Belford &
Armstrong, of Bath. Later he worked with J. Jenkins in Kingston, and with
firms in several of the large cities of the United States. In 1873, he
returned to Kingston and was for a time in the employ of George Brown &
Son. Twenty-one years ago last November he started in business for himself in
a little one-story building on the site of his present establishment, and
succeeded so well that the business has now grown to be the largest
carriage-making establishment owned by a private individual between Toronto
and Montreal. Mr. Robinson was a Methodist and belonged to the Masons,
Oddfellows, Foresters and United Workmen. In politics he was a staunch
Reformer and last year was one of the representatives of Frontenac Ward in
the City Council. Mr. Robinson was an enthusiastic bicyclist and one of the
prime movers in arranging the preliminaries of the meet which is taking place
this afternoon at the K.A.A.A. track. His death on the date of this event
will cause a feeling of peculiar sorrow among the city wheelmen with whom he
has associated. Mr. Robinson was married November 12th 1874 to
Miss Catharine Amelia Adcock, who survives him. The children, Melville,
Nelson, Norman, Bert, Clifford and Florence, all reside in the city. |

OBITUARY - The Late Mrs. Susannah
Robinson. On Thursday, the 22nd of May, a very estimable and
Christian lady in the person of Mrs. Susannah Robinson, died at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. S. Benjamin, in South Fredericksburgh, aged 70 years, 7
months and 8 days. The deceased was a woman of marked ability and perseverance
and succeeded in educating and fitting for the world a large family by her
own unaided exertions. Besides the daughter mentioned above, she leaves four
sons, to manhood grown, to mourn her loss. Maxwell, George, Ceylon and -----,
the last named succeeds to the homestead. The other three are engaged in
business vocations and are men of ability and undoubted integrity in the
communities wherein they reside. Her death was quite sudden, and coming down
upon us as it did it cast a deep gloom over our entire neighbourhood. She was
interred at Sandhurst on Sunday last, and after a very able sermon by the
Rev. R.S. Forneri, who discoursed from the xi chapter of St. John and 4th
verse. During the course of his remarks he spoke of the deceased in the
highest terms, saying she was a dutiful wife, a loving mother and a sincere
friend. That she in every "storm" of life was 'oak' and 'rock' but
in sunshine was 'vine' and 'flower'. To quote his words: Were every one to
whom she did some loving service to bring a blossom to her grave, she would
sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers. Mrs. Susannah Robinson died on
Thursday at her daughters, Mrs. S. Benjamin, in South Fredericksburgh, aged
70 years, 7 months and 8 days. The deceased was a woman of marked ability and
perseverance.

Lad Burned to Death in a Pig Pen The three year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Robinson of North Fredericksburgh Township, just outside the city
limits and across the river from Napanee, was burned to death Wednesday
afternoon in the pig pen next to the barn, in which fire broke out. It is
believed that the little chap was in the barn and was playing with matches
and the place being filled with grain, caught fire immediately. The screams of the little fellow were
heard but the fire was such that no one could enter. While the Whig was
learning the details of the tragedy, the fire was still raging and efforts
were being made to get the boy’s body out of the pig pen. The firemen from
Napanee were called and rushed to the scene of the fire. The remains of the lad were found at
twenty minutes to three in the pen, east of the barn. Nothing but the bones
remained, the body having been burned to a crisp. Coroner Cowan of Napanee, Chief of
Police Barrett and county officials were at the scene of the tragedy when the
body was found. Little Lad Burned to Death At His
Home Near Napanee Tragedy in the Family of Mr. and Mrs.
Percy Robinson – Father and Mother Helpless at Scene of Fire – Remains Buried
as the Sun Sank in the West Napanee, Oct 22. – This town was
terribly shocked on Wednesday afternoon, when it was learned that Wilbert
Robinson, aged three years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Robinson, North
Fredericksburgh, had met a tragic death by being burned to death in the barn at
the rear of their home near here. A representative of the Whig, who was
in Napanee at the time, was early at the scene of the blaze, but the heat was
so intense that nothing could be done for the little fellow, who was
imprisoned behind a wall of flames. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it
is thought that the lad, who was the second oldest of a family of three, must
have been playing with matches. The building in which the child met such a
tragic death was located about fifty yards in the rear of the family
residence and is south of the main part of the town of Napanee. When the Whig representative arrived
at the fire it was feared that the two oldest boys had been caught in the
burning building. Donald, the oldest of the family, was later located and
according to the story of the lad, he became so frightened when he saw the
blaze and realizing that his younger brother was in the barn which was all
afire, ran with all his might in a southerly direction. He was later found
and brought back to his home. At first it was thought and it may
still be the case, that the lad was burned to death in the pig-pen, a
structure which was on the north side of the barn. When the blaze had
somewhat abated, the fire-fighters, with the use of pike-poles, were able to
locate the charred remains of the lad and they were at that time in the
north-eastern corner of the barn. It is thought that the child, who was first
in the pig-pen playing, later made his way into the barn by entering through
the door on the south side. The parents think that when their son saw the hay
in the stable on fire he tried to reach the door, but was kept back by the
flames and fell down in the corner where his charred remains were found. When
the body was removed, it was very badly burned, the arms and the legs being
absent. Master & Tierney undertakers took charge of the remains, which
were placed in a little casket and the burial took place just as the sun was
sinking in the west. Rev. J.H.H. Coleman, rector of the Anglican church,
conducted the funeral service. Mrs. Robinson, upon noticing the
fire, realized that her son had been playing in the barn a few minutes before
and felt sure that he had been caught. Thinking that he was in the pig-pen
and hearing the cries of the child for help, Mrs. Robinson smashed the
windows with her hands and in so doing was badly cut about the fingers. The
father, who had been employed for many years by the Daly Tea Co., rushed to
the scene of the fire and when informed that it was feared his boy was a
victim to the blaze, he attempted to rush into the barn, but the heat forced
him back. All that was left for the parents to do was to stand by and wait
for what remained of their little son to be brought out. Herbert Parks, who was engaged in
shingling a roof a short distance from the scene of the fire, was the first
man to respond. When speaking to the Whig representative, Mr. Parks stated
that when he arrived outside of the pig-pen, the heat was terrific, but
nevertheless, he broke through the windows, heard the cries of the child, but
could not see him. Thinking that little Wilbert was inside of the barn he
started to cut his way through the walls, but he could not get through on
account of there being a tin surface and also two layers of planking. Sam Smith, employed as a driver of a
wood delivery was the second man on hand, and he assisted Mr. Parks, but they
were unable to do anything. The Napanee Fire department responded
and the chief and his assistants did the best they could, but on account of
there being no water service or fire protection of any kind, their work was
of little avail. The chemical tank was used and the part of the barn where it
was though the child was imprisoned was well watered and after the wall
collapsed the body was brought out. The deep sympathy of the entire
community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Robinson in the sad loss of their little
boy, who was one of the most popular children in the community. |

SAD ACCIDENT - On the 11th

misfortune to have the ice give way under him and melancholy to relate, was

man, with another team was in company, whose horses suffered the same fate,
but who escaped. The body of young Mr.
Roblin was found by neighbors, and interred on the following Saturday. Melancholy Occurrence - On Wednesday
last (the 11th inst.), as Mr. Caleb Roblin, son of Philip Roblin, Esqr., of Sophiasburg, was crossing the Mohawk Bay, to the former
place, with a load of oak lumber, his horse and himself fell through the ice,
where all were unfortunately drowned.
He had in company with him a young man by the name of Peter Wood, with
another team, which was also lost; Wood only making his escape. Diligent
search was made for the body of Mr. Roblin by the surrounding neighbours, (to
whom his relatives feel themselves under heavy obligations for their kindness
and humanity), but having toiled till after midnight they abandoned the
search till day light, when the corpse was found. His funeral took place on Saturday - a very
impressive discourse was delivered on the occasion by the Revd. Mr. Marcus
from these memorable words: "Jesus wept." His remains were followed to the grave by a
numerous assembly of friends and acquaintance. Mr. Roblin was an active, promising
young man, aged twenty five years. His
loss will be long and deeply felt by all with whom he was acquainted. How true it is, that "in the midst of
life, we are in death!" (Com. Sophiasburg, February 15, 1835) |

Roblin, David |
Obituary – Death of David Roblin,
Esq. We deeply regret to announce the
death of David Roblin, Esq., of Napanee, yesterday (Sunday) at his residence,
Napanee, of disease of the heart. Mr. Roblin was unwell for over twelve
months past and for the last few months he seemed to rally and his health
considerably improved; but the treacherous disease of which he died was
unfortunately one too far certain and fatal in its results. Mr. Roblin represented the County of
Lennox & Addington from 1854 to 1861, having at the general election of
the former year defeated Mr. Benjamin Seymour by a majority of fifty-four and
continued to sit for the County until 1861, when he was defeated by Mr.
Hooper, the present representative of the County. For over a quarter of a
century Mr. Roblin has taken a prominent position in the politics of the
Midland District; and for years did he fight, single handed, the Conservative
party, who were strongly marshaled against him, he having stood three
election contests before his final triumph in 1854. Mr. Roblin was a Reformer
of the Baldwin School and upon the formation of the Macdonald-Cartier
administration he gave in his adhesion to and became a strong supporter of
the Coalition when formed. He was a self-educated man and endowed with a
considerable share of ability. While in the House, he was considered a hard
working member and held in much esteem and valued for his faithfulness to
party ties. Mr. Roblin for some seven years consecutively was re-elected to
the membership of the United Counties – a position which he filled with great
credit to himself. The city of Kingston owes to him that splendid pile of
buildings, the new Court House and Gaol, which is so great an ornament to
Kingston. He died at the age of fifty-three years and leaves a wife and a
large family of sons and daughters to mourn his loss. Few men in these Counties will be
held in higher esteem and will be more universally regretted. CORRECTION – In an obituary notice of
Mr. Roblin, we were guilty of a palpable error. It was stated that Mr. Roblin
was re-elected to the “membership” of the United Counties. We should have
said that Mr. Roblin was elected for several years consecutively to the
“Wardenship” of the United Counties.

Hogan, Freeman Coone and William Drinkwater acted as pall-bearers and
interment was in St. John's Norway Cemetery, in Toronto. The ancestry of Mr. Roblin, elder son
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob F. Roblin, Adolphustown, probably contained
more United Empire Loyalist blood than that of any other person of his
generation. The list of his ancestors included such well-known U.E.L. names
as Owen and Stephen Roblin, Abraham, Peter and Joseph Ruttan, Benjamin
Allison, Phoebe Davidson, William Carr, Peter Rose, Ernest Snyder and Solomon
Huff, who donated the land on Hay Bay for the first Methodist Church in Upper
Canada. Prior to his marriage to Effa Stewart
Alcombrack (also of U.E.L. extraction) in 1906, the late Mr. Roblin was well-known as a
home-builder in Scarborough, Forest Hill Village, North Toronto and Richmond
Hill. Formerly an active member of Fairlawn United Church in Toronto, he
transferred his membership on retirement, to Richmond Hill United Church. Surviving the late E.P. Roblin, Sr.,
are his widow, Effa Stewart Roblin; three sons, Rev. Alva S. Roblin, of

Owen S. Roblin's Funeral Services Were Held Yesterday at His
Late Home and Remains Were Taken to Syracuse for Burial. The funeral of Owen S. Roblin took

conducted by Rev. Charles Edward Locke, D.D. of the Delaware Avenue Methodist
Church. There was a large attendance of the friends of the family. Mr. Roblin

- David R., of Buffalo, James R., of Cuba and Mrs. Helen Carpenter of
Buffalo. The deceased had lived since middle
life in Syracuse to which city the remains were taken yesterday. Mr. Roblin
retired from business about eight years ago, but never lost interest in the
world's affairs and took deep concern in whatever related to the country of
his adoption, and his native country close by. He was a member of the
Methodist Church from early youth, and was a consistent Christian and an
exemplary man in all respects. His business life was stamped with the record
of integrity and honor and his home life was beautified by gentleness and
perfect harmony. Though he was a great sufferer during the latter part of his
illness he bore all with unflinching fortitude and resignation. Never was a
Christian's hope more beautifully illustrated. The Late Stanley Roblin On Friday, February 13th,
1903, there passed away peacefully at Buffalo, Owen S. Roblin, born in
Adolphustown, September 19th, 1820. Mr. Roblin was one of the few
remaining members of the third generation, the grandsons of the loyalists.
His grandfather was Owen Roblin, United Empire Loyalist. His father was
Stephen Roblin, who died in 1884, aged eighty-seven and his mother was Amy
Allison, daughter of Benjamin Allison. The two pioneer Methodist ministers,
Rev. Cyrus Allison and Rev. Conrad Vandusen, were uncles of the deceased. Mr.
Roblin married Sarah Eliza, daughter of John M. Canniff, half sister of the
late Mrs. Charles James, Napanee. For some years he lived at Newburgh, where
he carried on the harness making business. He moved to Syracuse and some five
or six years ago gave up business and moved to Buffalo. There were four
children. James, in Cuba; David Rockwell, in business in Buffalo; Ida, Mrs. Hardendorff, deceased, and Nellie, Mrs. Carpenter. Mrs.
Roblin survives, being now in her eighty-first year. She is the last member
of the family of John M. Canniff, of Thurlow, whose wife was Nancy Dulmage,
daughter of Jacob Dulmage. The late Mr. Roblin had three brothers, John,
Jacob and Joseph Ryerson, of Adolphustown. Stephen and John Roblin, late of

The community was shocked to learn of
the passing of Reeve W.D. Roblin on Wednesday morning. Despite the fact that
Mr. Roblin had been a sufferer from asthma and a heart affliction for a
number of years, he was one of the most active and prominent business men of
the district and was around as usual all day Tuesday, being stricken as he
was about to retire for the night. Medical aid was secured by proved of no
avail. Left mourn are his wife, Eva Mallory, on son, Reade, two daughters,
Misses Kathleen and Geneva, also four grandchildren. Few men in the county
were more widely known or highly respected than William Roblin. For nearly
fifty years deceased had been a salesman for the massy-Harris Company, had
served many terms in the municipal council both as councillor and reeve. In
politics he was a staunch Liberal and an ardent baseball fan. He also took a
keen interest in matters pertaining to the former Methodist church and later
to the United Church, having been a member of the quarterly official board for
a number of years. The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. H.F. Sanders, B.A., in the U.E.L. Memorial Church on Friday
afternoon, but the building was quite inadequate to accommodate those wishing
to pay tribute to the departed. Both the municipal and county councils attended
in a a body. Floral tributes were given by both
councils, the church and the Masonic Lodge, of which Mr. Roblin was a member,
besides many private offerings. The flower bearers were Messrs. H. Box, J.W.

of Camden, where, for seventy years, he lived a respectable and honorable
life. He was one of the first justices of the peace for Camden. By virtue of

South Fredericksburgh, who were united in marriage by the old squire. Mr.
Rombough held to the Presbyterian faith. He was married by the late Robert
McDowall. Mrs. Rombough's maiden name was Catharine Milligan. They were
blessed with a family of eleven children, six daughters and five sons, of

Death of George Rooks Death came very suddenly on Thursday to
a well-known and highly esteemed resident of Clarksville (a suburb of

The deceased who had suffered from heart trouble for some time, was taken ill
in the morning and passed away a few hours later. A son of Mr. and Mrs. Abel
Rooks, the deceased was a native of the Township of Richmond where he spent
his early years. When a young man, having a desire to go west, he left home
and remained in the west until 1906 when he returned to Richmond. The
following year he was united in marriage to Miss Alberta Loucks, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Loucks, North Fredericksburgh. After a few years spent at
his former home district on the Slash Road, Mr. and Mrs. Rooks moved to
Clarksville which had been their home ever since. During the past few years the health
of Mrs. Rooks has not been of the very best as she has been an invalid for
some time. He was a man who was held in high esteem by his many friends. Besides his wife he leaves to mourn
his loss two brothers, Henry Rooks, Slash Road and Robert Rooks, Pearson,

JOHN ROSE - Was born in the township of Montague,
county of Lanark, Nov. 26th, 1806.
His early life was spent in the midst of the hardships and privations
of a sparsely settled section of country.
His advantages were necessarily limited; but, at the early age of
thirteen, he was led to Christ through the ministry of Rev. Calvin N.
Flint. He, together with his parents
and an older brother, united with the Methodist Church in the month of
September, 1820, and from that time to the day of his death, he was faithful
to his Christian vows. At the very
beginning of his Christian life he was recognized as eminently suited to fill
responsible positions in the Church.
He was appointed class-leader by Rev. Henry Shaler in 1834 was
licensed as an exhorter by Rev. Benjamin Nankerville
in 1844, and received his first local preachers’ license from Rev. R.
Brewster in 1863, and continued in that relation to the Church, faithful and
useful, to the close of life. Every
office of trust in the church was filled by him with faithfulness and
acceptability. When a boy the writer
of this notice had some knowledge of our departed brother. When sent to this charge in June 1884, he
was ready and kind in his welcome, and although burdened by age and
infirmity, I found him ever ready to assist in the work of the church. He was faithful in attending the means of
grace, never absent until disease peramptorily
forbade his presence in the house of prayer.
In the spring of 1885, he was seized by that fearful and painful
disorder, Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and for about fourteen months was
a great sufferer, but was wonderfully sustained by divine grace. He knew in whom he trusted, and was
persuaded that God would keep him to the end.
His testimony to the power of saving grace was clear and positive to
the last. His last admonition to his family and neighbors was “Meet me in
heaven” After a month of radient waiting, he
sweetly “fell asleep” July 7th, 1886, and exchanged earth for
heaven. Surely “to him to live was
Christ, and to die was gain.” Father
Rose was married three times. His
third wife and a large family of pious sons and daughters are left to mourn
the loss of a kind husband and loving father.
May they all meet again in the better land. At a meeting of the Official Board, held
soon after Mr. Rose’s decease, a resolution was unanimously passed expressing
their deep sense of the loss the Church had sustained, their high
appreciation of his many years of useful service and their sympathy with the
bereaved family. A. R. ORSEN. The North-western Christian

MARY GORDON ROSS - The subject of this sketch was born
at Silver Hill on Nov 18 1863, and has lived her short life at this place, except
a short sojourn in the town of Sarnia, during which time her mother became a
widow. Immediately after her father’s
death her mother returned to Silver Hill to her friends. Mary was early brought under the influence
of the Gospel to a degree that gave her a firm belief in God and of his
over-ruling power, but it was not able to believe unto salvation until the
winter of 1885, when under the labors of a band of Christian workers, with
Bro. Sedgwick as leader, she was hopefully converted to God. On the 18th day of November,
1885, she was united in marriage to John H. Ross. Although her stay with him was but short,
yet her influence as a Christian in the community in which they dwelt was
felt by all her associates. Although young in years, she seemed
ripe for her eternal home, and God took her from kind friends and a loving
husband on the morning of the 9th of September. A few hours before her death, in
conversation with her now bereaved husband, she expressed her full trust and
confidence in God, whether she lived or died, that all would be well, for she
had fully consecrated her life to him who gave it. On the 11th of September, 1886,
we took all that remained to us of Mary Gordon Ross to Silver Hill cemetery,
and deposited it in the grave to wait the resurrection of the just. Then with her pastor the Rev. Mr. Jamieson,
we repaired to the chapel and listened to an excellent discourse from Hebrews
xii.1 We are confident we voice the feeling
of the whole community when we tender to Bro. Ross our warmest sympathy in
this hour of bereavement. W.S. |

OBITUARY – In the passing of William
Alfred Rose, Napanee has lost one of its best known and esteemed citizens.
Mr. Rose was born in Richmond in 1842 and has spent nearly all his days in
this vicinity. He was the son of the
late Archibald and Mary Rose. He was
married in 18— to Nancy, daughter of the late Andrew Fraser. Mr. Rose grew up
on the farm like many Canadians of his time and his early experience in farm
life gave him a good strong frame and an ability to adapt himself to the
various offices to which he was called in after life. From the farm he went into business, and
for a number of years he conducted business in Napanee. Subsequently he was appointed Inspector for
Lennox, and was acknowledged one of the most prudent, careful and efficient
officers in that department that the Government had given these Counties.
Through his life he has been an ardent temperance advocate and by his
departure the Temperance and Moral Reform people have lost a valuable
reliable worker. He was anxious for
the moral uplift of the youth of his town.
Mr. Rose was a quiet, retiring man, gentle and kind in his
manner. If the greatest thing a man
can do for his Heavenly Father is to be kind to some of His other children,
then he did great things. He was a man
of deep convictions, and on all moral questions no one doubted on which side
he stood. He seemed always to endeavor
to be a little better than his word, a little more generous than his promise,
and a little larger in deed than in speech.
He was a member in full standing in Trinity Church. In all his illness he never murmured, he
had committed all to the care of his Heavenly Father and was waiting
patiently until his change should come.
After a long and wearisome illness he passed quietly to his rest on
May 12th, leaving behind for the comfort of his loved ones a clear
testimony of his faith in Christ and of his bright prospect of a home where
sickness never comes. He leaves to
mourn their loss a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Sale, of London, Eng., and
Mrs. Fred Wilson, of Glenora. They
feel that He has given their beloved sleep. – Com. |

MEMORIAL SERVICE – A short memorial
service was held at Trinity Church, on Tuesday evening, May 13th
at 8 o’clock for Mrs. W. A. Rose, who passed away peacefully at her
residence, on April 27th. A
large number of her friends attended to pay their last tribute to one so
deeply mourned and for so many years a resident of Napanee. The service opened with the hymn, “Thy Will
Be Done”, followed with a scripture lesson taken from St. John 11:25 and 26,
seeming most appropriate. Mrs. Finkle spoke of her great intimacy with Mrs.
Rose, with whom she had been acquainted for twenty years, also mentioning her
great church devotion. Mrs. Richardson
spoke of Mrs. Rose’s entire confidence in God, adding that in losing so old
and valued a friend she was indeed personally bereaved. Mrs. Rose leaves
behind to mourn her loss, two daughters, Mrs. F. S. Wilson, of Belleville,
and Mrs. C.V. Sale, of London, England; six grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren. |

Thomas Russell - An old and respected
resident of North Fredericksburgh, died on Sunday last, aged 8- years.
Deceased was born in Stirlingshire, Scotland, and came to Canada when about
twenty years of age. After about two years he returned to his native land and
married Miss Jean Rennie the following year. In 1865, with his wife and
family, he returned to Canada, and for two years resided on a farm in Camden,
after which he removed to a farm on Hay Bay. To Mr. and Mrs. Russell were
born two sons, Walter (deceased), and James, and three daughters, two of whom
survive him, Mrs. Wm. M. Baird, of North Fredericksburgh, and Mrs. Peter
Chalmers, Adolphustown. Mr. Russell was an intelligent, industrious and
plodding Scotchman, and notwithstanding a severe loss sustained years ago
though an imperfect deed to a beautiful farm he purchased on the shores of
Hay Bay, paying $6,000 therefor, and which he was compelled to give up, he
amassed a liberal competence for his declining years. The particulars of the
losing of his farm will be remembered by many. He paid as above for the
property, on which there was not a building. He at once erected a fine house,
barn and outbuildings, set out a large orchard, and brought the land to a
fine state of cultivation. After a number of years, and when all these
improvements were made (the property at that time worth at least $12,000), a
claimant for the farm appeared, who after a long course in the law courts,
proved that the farm was his, and the party from whom he had purchased was
not entitled to sell the property. After leaving the farm he purchased a
house at Little Creek, where he lived until the death of his wife, in 1891,
when he went to reside with his son, James, who owns the Henry Ham farm, and
where he died. Deceased was a life-long conservative, but was liberal in his
views towards his opponents. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian
church, and died in the full hope of a glorious resurrection. The funeral
took place on Tuesday last, the services being conducted by his pastor, Rev.
W. W. Peck, the venerable Rev. David Wilson delivering a most impressive
prayer at the close. The remains were interred in Napanee cemetery, a large
concourse of friends and acquaintances following them to the grave. His
granddaughter, Miss Jean Russell, died just nine days previous. The sympathy
of the community goes to the bereaved relatives.

DIED IN EARLY YOUTH – Walter A.
Russell, son of the late Walter Russell, died on Saturday morning 9th
Nov., at the residence of his aunt, Miss Sarah Allen, Mill St., aged 23
years. Deceased was born in Colorado,
and after receiving a splendid education, took up the vocation of dry goods
clerk which he pursued for five years in a large store in New York City. About a year ago his health began to fail
and he came to Napanee for treatment.
All that kind and loving hands and the best medical skill could do for
him was of no avail, and his spirit fled to the great beyond on Saturday
morning. One brother, James, of
Toronto, is left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving brother. The funeral, which took place on Monday

in which the young man was held by his many friends in Napanee. |

Rutherford, William |
WILLIAM RUTHERFORD, Esq. - Was born
in the county of Monaghan, Ireland in the year 1815 and in the year 1833, he emigrated to
Canada, and settled in the township of Cavan, near Peterborough. In 1842 he removed to the township of
Wellesley, County of Waterloo, and in 1845 he came to the village of
Millbank, County of Perth. Here he
commenced business, and in a few years became one of the most extensive and
successful merchants in the county. He
was appointed the first post-master of the village forty years ago, the
duties of which he faithfully discharged till death. For years he held a position in the
councils of the township and county.
In the year 1853, he married Miss Elenor Freeborn, a devoted
Christian, who exerted a blessed influence in her new home. Their house was for many years the home of
ministers, where they were hospitably entertained. Bro. Rutherford was universally respected
and loved by all, and loved most by those who knew him best. He was a man of genuine sterling worth, and
known by all as the poor man’s friend.
It was not until a short time before his death that he received a
clear evidence of his acceptance with God.
The Sabbath before his death, by his request, I administered to
him the sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper, when he expressed unshaken confidence in Christ as his Saviour. A letter received a few days before his death
from his son Boyd, of Manitoba, expressing the very great pleasure it gave
him to hear of the conversion of his brothers and sisters at home, was read to
the dying father amid mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. His son William, who was by his bedside day
and night reading to him the blessed promises of God’s word, had his own soul
wonderfully blessed in listening to the triumphal expressions of his dying
father, such as “My trust is all in Jesus;”
“He is my only Comfort:” “My
work is all done, and I am tired and want to go to Jesus.” All that kind friends and medical skill
could do was of no avail, so in a little over a week inflammation of the
lungs did its sad work, and on the 10th of February, 1886, in the
seventy-first year of his age, our dear friend and brother fell asleep in
Jesus. The funeral was one of the
largest ever known in this part of the country. All the ministers of the different churches
of the place were present. We laid all
that was mortal of a true friend and neighbor in the cold grave in the
Wellesley cemetery, in sure and certain hope of a glorious resurrection. The writer preached a funeral sermon the
following Sabbath in the Methodist Church to a very large congregation, when
the church was all draped in mourning.
Mr. Rutherford was a kind and devoted husband and a loving and
affectionate father, and leaves a widow and ten children to mourn his loss,
but they mourn not as those without hope.
They know father has landed safe on the other shore. Six of his children were happily converted
to God a few weeks before his death, and are now consecrating themselves to
God and his service. May they make up
an unbroken family in heaven. |

his age. The deceased was one of the best known physicians in Ontario and for
many years a member of the Ontario medical council, representing the Trent
and Newcastle division. Deceased was born in Adolphustown on
January 26th, 1826. He was educated at the Picton grammar school
and entered McGill college, Montreal, from which he graduated in medicine and
surgery in 1852. Soon after he located in the then thriving village of
Newburgh, of which he was a prominent resident for a number of years. At that
time Newburgh was a successful rival of Napanee as regards population,
prosperity and business enterprise, and much in advance in its educational
facilities. The appointment of Napanee as the county town on separation from
Frontenac county, together with the location of the Grand Trunk railway, were
the turning points against Newburgh. The doctor became convinced that
Newburgh was not destined to grow much and moved to Picton, where he
practiced for two or three years. He located to Napanee in 1865 and has been
a resident ever since. Very soon after commencing practice
in Newburgh the doctor was married in St. George church, Montreal, to Miss
Caroline Smith, a highly esteemed young lady of that city, with whom he
became acquainted in his college days. She has been a help-mate, indeed, to
him ever since. They had five children. The surviving sons are Prof. R.
Fullord Ruttan, B.A., M.D., professor of practical chemistry and registrar of
the medical faculty of McGill college, Montreal, and G.F. Ruttan, practicing
barrister, of Napanee. Two daughters, Ida E. and Bertha E., died in
womanhood. The doctor and his family were active
members of the Church of England. For years St. Mary Magdalene church had not
had a more faithful and reliable member. He took an active and prominent part
in the erection of the new and substantial church, donating to it the
beautiful circle window in the front and probably as fine a specimen of real
good taste and artistic skill as can anywhere be found in this section of
country. In many other ways, temporarily and spiritually, he did much to
advance the church's interests. He also took a very active interest
in educational matters. For years, in his earlier days, he was superintendent
of schools for Camden township. In Napanee he was lively in the development
of our present excellent school system. He was for years a member of the
school board, and was its chairman for several years. In politics the doctor
was a warm adherent of the conservative party. He always enjoyed a large and
lucrative practice and was the "beloved physician" of many large
families for forty years. Had he been less generous to the poor, more
exacting in his charges and as sharp as many about his collections, no doubt
he would have become a very wealthy man. Few were ever more considerate of
the poor. He frequently boasted that he had never sued anyone in his life. In
consequence of his kindly nature in this way no doubt thousands of dollars
honestly earned in his practice were never paid to him at all. The doctor had an honest pride in the
fact that he was a descendant of the U.E. Loyalist pioneers. His grandfather,
with his family, were among the first band of loyal refugees who landed at
Adolphustown in 1784. The family located on the front of that township near
the bay shore, between the Allisons on the east and Allens on the west, and
here they made their permanent home. He was the proud possessor of a
veritable grandfather's clock, which his grandfather had, and is claimed to
have been the very first clock ever set going in that old township. The funeral occurs on Sunday
afternoon.

Death of Archie Ruttan In ill health for a considerable time
there passed away at his home at Morven on Wednesday night, Archie Thomson
Ruttan in his 77th year. Mr. Ruttan, who was well known in
Napanee, as he had resided five miles east of the town for many years, was a
son of Jacob Ruttan and Mary Ann McConkey. His birthplace was at Adolphustown
and his father was among those United Empire Loyalists who left the United
States and settled in the township of Adolphustown. An uncle of the deceased
was the Hon. Henry Ruttan. When a young man he came to the
Morven district to reside. This was in 1881 and Morven had been his home
since that time. He was associated for many years with James Richardson and
Son of Kingston in the purchasing of grain and with the late George I. Perry
purchased many thousands of bushels for this firm. Although in ill health for a
considerable time he was, until recently up and around and his death will be
learned with regret by his wide circle of friends throughout this district. The deceased was reared in the
traditions of the Conservative party and was a prominent Conservative until
the Conscription issue came to the fore in 1917. He did not take to this
issue and left his party. Since that time he had been as prominent a Liberal
as he was a Conservative prior to the issue. A brother John passed away over
twenty years ago, and he leaves to mourn his loss his widow, who before her
marriage was Miss Augusta Ellen Bartels, and one son, Gordon Ruttan of
Windsor. A son Wright Ruttan passed away two years ago. Mr. Ruttan was an Anglican
and attended St. Thomas’ Church, Morven. Rev. L.O. Walker, rector of Bath and
Ernestown will conduct the funeral service which will be held from his late
residence.

Death of Mr. Ruttan, On May 28th at 6 o'clock
a.m., Grimsby East was called upon to part with one of its best and most
highly respected citizens in the person of Mr. Charles N. Ruttan, who was
born at Adolphustown on May 5th 1862. His parents were Elisha Ruttan and
Susanna Outwater of good old U.E.L. Stock who held from the Crown the title
to the "Old Homestead" where as a boy and youth Charles spent the
early years of his life. Here, too, under the influence of a christian home,
he sought and found Christ as a personal Saviour and became an earnest
faithful christian. On February 21st 1911 he married Edith Mabel
Johnson, second daughter of the late H.M. Johnson of Hallowell Township, and
soon after settled at Grimsby East and became one of our successful and
earnest fruit growers. Some months ago his health began to
fail and internal trouble compelled him to seek expert medical aid and for
some weeks was a patient in St. Josephs Hospital, Hamilton, where the most
skillful physicians and surgeons in the city gave him the best and most
modern treatments known to the profession. This however proved unavailing and
on May 11th he returned to his home with the prospect of an
operation in the near future. This however, was not to be for on May 22nd,
he was taken ill with pleurisy, developing into double pneumonia and as the
end drew near he was ready and willing to depart and be with Christ, which
was far better and at six o'clock on Friday morning, May 28th he passed
peacefully away to the home beyond. On Sunday evening, May 30th,
as service was held in the home conducted by his pastor, Rev. J.A. McLachlan
of Grimsby, assisted by Rev. T. Ratcliffe of the Baptist Church, Grimsby, and
early on Monday morning the remains were taken to Picton for interment. A
service was held at the home of his brothers Benson and John Ruttan,
conducted by Rev. a. Brown, D.D. of Picton and the burial took place in
Glenwood cemetery. He leaves to mourn his loss, in addition to the two
brothers above mentioned, his wife and little son, Harold. I wish here, Mr. Editor, to pay a
tribute of respect to the memory of the departed, whom I have known and been
intimately acquainted with for 9 years and I have ever found him a kind and
obliging neighbor, a man of sterling character and true worth, whose word
could be depended on at all times . I have been in Church fellowship with him
for many years and always found him a faithful and consistent member of the
Methodist church, a true christian at heart and a kind loving husband and
father - How greatly we need more such men in our community and in the World
today.

RUTTAN – At Adolphustown, on Aug. 20th,
Elisha Ruttan, aged 93 years. Another of the old landmarks of
Adolphustown has passed away, in the person of Elisha Ruttan, who died at his
home on the 20th inst. He was a grandson of the U. E. L. pioneer
Captain Peter Ruttan, who selected as a portion of the grant to which he was
entitled as a Loyalist that picturesque point jutting out into the Bay of
Quinte, between Bass Cove and Perch Cove. Here generations of Ruttans have lived, and no other name has ever been
entered against these lands in the Registry office. Upon this farm Elisha
Ruttan was born, and here for upwards of ninety-two and one half years has he
lived, rarely leaving his comfortable home amid its beautiful surroundings of
water, farm and woodland. He led a simple life but was possessed of an
unusual amount of good common sense of which he made practical use in the
management of his own private affairs in his study of public questions and in
his intercourse with his neighbors. The result of his quiet and reserved
manner living was that his farm was one of the best equipped and best
cultivated in the County. He was well posted upon the events of the world and
never entertained extreme views and succeeded in winning the esteem of all
who were brought in contact with him, and at the time of his death no man in
the Township was more highly respected than he. He leaves behind him three
sons, Benson and John, on the old homestead, and Charles, a successful fruit
grower in the Niagara District. |
