Adolphustown, on Friday, October 16th, 1914, Florence B. Randell, daughter of Mrs. Alfred Randell,
aged 23 years and seven months. OBITUARY - The
death of Miss Florence Randell, of Hay Bay, cast a
gloom over the entire community. She
was the only surviving child of Mrs. Phoebe Randell,
who has previously laid to rest her husband and two
children. The bereaved mother has the
heartfelt sympathy of a large number of friends in this her sad loss. Miss Florence was a bright, cheerful
winsome girl. She passed her Normal
Entrance exams in three years at the Collegiate, being under age when she
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
short time before her death she expressed the hope of being able to take a
school after Christmas. She was around
as usual on Wednesday morning, but on Thursday Dr. Vrooman was called, and
when he said she had bronchial pneumonia, she told her mother it was the
beginning of the end, as she was too weak to throw if off. She passed away on Friday morning, Oct. 16th,
at 8:30 o’clock. Her popularity in her
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 laid on the coffin in token of love and sympathy, and the
Mission Circle, of which she was a member stood in line at the church door
and each dropped a white carnation on the coffin. All that was mortal was placed in the vault
at Napanee to be later interred in Riverside cemetery in certain hope of the
resurrection. |

Died - At

Caroline, wife of Mr. Orrin Ranney, aged 49 years. her piety was without ostentation, and her zeal for the

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. |

afternoon last the dead body of Mr. Jas. Reid, a well known Ernesttown
farmer, who lived with his brother, Mr. Geo. Reid, was found lying on the
floor of the barn. Deceased went to
the barn about 4 o’clock to do the usual chores and Mrs. Geo. Reid went out
later to milk the cows. After
finishing milking, and not 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. Cameron Wilson, Napanee was called at
once and found that the dead man had been killed evidently from a fall, and
that his neck was broken. Dr. Wilson
notified the coroner, who after making due inquiry, deemed an inquest
unnecessary. The late Mr. Reid was a

Resident Held Sunday Afternoon Deseronto, Jan 5
– The funeral was held Sunday afternoon of Mrs. Abigail Freedom Rendell, one
of the oldest residents of the district, who passed away Friday, following a
lengthy illness, at the home of her son, Ross Rendell, Deseronto Road,
Richmond township. The deceased was
born April, 1857, the youngest daughter of the late William and Lucy Miller
of North Fredericksburgh, one of the best known families of the district.
After her marriage to her late husband, Edmund Rendell, in 1881, she moved
with him to a farm near Demorestville. Two years later they returned to North
Fredericksburgh, remaining there until 1904 when her husband purchased what
was commonly known as the William Rathbun farm,
Deseronto Road. In 1925, Mr. and
Mrs. Rendell retired from the farm and moved to Deseronto where they resided
with their daughter, Hazel, until the death of Mr. Rendell in June, 1940. Surviving are

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. |

RENNIE - Another soul of beneficent memory among us has "crossed the
bar”. As the beauty-glow of 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 bereaved. If any we
know, who was worthy of the tribute, "Many daughters 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

of the late Capt. John Richards, a U.E. Loyalist and was the last survivor of
a family of six, and at the time of his death was the oldest native of the
Island. Probably very few men in this and adjoining counties were better
known that the subject of this sketch - his commanding appearance, his wit,
and his genial 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 member of the Church of England, a life-long Conservative in

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 home, Dundas Street, Wednesday morning of Benjamin
Seymour Richardson in his 88th year. After a private service at
his late residence, 1.30 Friday afternoon, the cortege proceeded to the
Bethany United Church, Bay Circuit, where a public service was conducted by
Rev. A.C. McCallum. Deceased was one
of a family of ten and was born on a farm at Bethany where he resided for
half a century. He was 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.

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, Fred Rikley
in Richmond Township. His funeral was

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 child of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Robinson of South Napanee.
Besides his parents and several younger brothers and sisters, he leaves a
young wife, formerly Margaret Turner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Turner,
and two small children. His funeral was
held at St. Mary Magdalene’s Anglican Church, of which he was a member, and
was conducted by the rector, Archdeacon R. J. Dumbrille.
Interment followed at Riverview Cemetery. Napanee Man Is a

feelings of sadness that we are called to pen the
death of Mrs. H. Robinson, of South Fredericksburgh, 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, if
it was God's will, she was willing and prepared for the great change, and
leaves her dear mourning friends in confidence to say "O death, where is
thy sting. O grave," etc. While sick she received all the attention that
a loving husband could give. She was followed from her residence by a large
number of sympathizing friends and sorrowing relatives, and placed in St.
Paul's church burying ground, there to wait the glorious resurrection, 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
hearts sink in loneliness and sorrow, may their affections be drawn from the
vain things of this earth, and finally meet the dear loved one now at rest. |

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. |

ROBINSON - At
South Fredericksburgh, on Friday, May 23rd, Susannah Wilborn, beloved wife of William Robinson, and mother of
G. W. Robinson, of Kingston, aged 71 years. 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. |

On the 11th inst., Mr. C. Roblin, son of Mr. Philip Roblin of

span of horses, had the misfortune to have the ice give way under him and

escaped. The body of young Mr. Roblin

Occurrence - On Wednesday last (the 11th inst.), as Mr. Caleb Roblin, son of

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

wept." His remains were followed

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. |

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 place yesterday from the family residence, 145 West
avenue. The services were 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 was born in Adolphustown Ontario, in 1820 and was
the oldest of 11 children. Fifty-five years ago he married the sorrowing one
who survives the loss of a loving partner. They had four children born to
them, three of whom are living - 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 Napanee, were nephews. |

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. Duffett, A. Heathcote, R. Allison, H.
