Sagar, Franklin H.	Sagar - At North Fredericksburgh, on Wednesday, July 4^th, 1928, Franklin H. Sagar, aged 50 years, 2 months. Died Very Suddenly - Frank Sagar, a well-known North Fredericksburgh farmer died with startling suddenness on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Sagar was working on the farm and was to have called for Mrs. Sagar, who was picking berries, and his failure to call caused her to hurry home. Search around the home failed to locate him and she notified the hired man, who at once joined in the search, with the result that Mr. Sagar's body was found near a fence. He had probably been dead a couple of hours. Surviving are his grief stricken widow and one daughter, Beatrice. The funeral took place from his late residence on Friday afternoon. Death came with startling suddenness on Wednesday afternoon to one of North Fredericksburgh’s best known citizens in the person of Mr. Frank Sagar. The deceased had been doing some work and was to have called for Mrs. Sagar, who was picking berries near Big Creek where they resided. His failure to call caused much anxiety on the part of his wife, who hurried home shortly after six o’clock. Not finding her husband she notified the hired man, who after a brief search, found the deceased lying near a fence. Dr. Stratton, of Napanee, was immediately summoned and on investigation gave as his opinion that death had ensued two hours previous. The late Mr. Sagar, while owning a fine farm at Big Creek, also had the contract of delivering milk to the Farmers’ Dairy. He was an enthusiastic member of the Napanee Poultry Association and was as exceptionally well-known in Napanee as in his own neighborhood where he had a host of friends. Surviving are his grief-stricken widow and one daughter, Beatrice. The funeral service was held this afternoon.	July 10 1928 Napanee Express July 6 1928 Kingston Whig Standard

Salisbury, Charles	Late Charles Salisbury, Napanee On Tuesday morning the death occurred at his late residence on West street, Napanee, of Charles Salisbury. Mr. Salisbury, in his seventieth year, was born at Hay Bay, and lived there until 1877 when he married Miss Isabella Holmes, also of Hay Bay, and moved to Petrolia.

Sanderson, Mary	MARY SANDERSON - The late beloved wife of Bro. George Sanderson, an honored class leader at Kemptville for nearly forty years past, went before on the morning of Friday, 2^nd April, 1886. She died in a moment, sleeping peacefully away, “At the narrowest point in the river she crossed over,” - so said Dr. Elliott. She walked with god and was not, for God took her. Sister Sanderson was born in Erilston, Scotland, in 1811, of Presbyterian parentage. In 1831, she was married and came to Canada with Bro. Sanderson, settling at once in Kemptville, where they always remained. She was brought to God at a camp meeting, but did not experience the joy of salvation until sometime after (in 1840), under the ministry of Rev. Wm McCullough. Of ten children with whom our aged friends were blessed, four are already in heaven, and the remaining six are on the way thither. Sister Sanderson possessed a rare combination of superior intellectual gifts, combined with deep spiritual feeling and the soundest judgment. She was noted for her extraordinary sagacity, her wisdom and reliability in counsel concerning matters small and great, her tenderness and trueness in sympathy, her keen appreciation of character, her knowledge of the Scriptures, and her ability to confute the worse with the better doctrine. She is embalmed in the grateful memory of all the ministers who have labored on the Kemptville Circuit. Her decease is mourned as far as her acquaintance extends, for she was a true friend, and “in her tongue was the law of kindness.” Her record is on high. While her many friends in Canada united their sorrow at her departure, may they unite their prayers that the aged pilgrim who remains may be comforted until his latest hour, and have ministered unto him an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Sarraizin	Extract of a Letter, dated Ernest Town, Wednesday morning, 2 o’clock, Feb. 17^th, 1819. On Sunday, two men (Sarraizin, the cooper, and James Dusenberry) who had been from the Mill Creek over to Fish Point, and were returning in a double sleigh drawn by one horse, drove into a crack, about a third of the distance over, where the ice had parted twenty or thirty feet, and the water was skimmed over with ice of the preceding night’s freezing. The horse and sleigh are supposed to have gone down instantly; but the men remained on the surface, until their cries had alarmed a man on the island and another on this shore, who ran to their assistance, and arrived near enough to see them struggling; but, before they could reach them, they went down. The bottom was raked on Monday, and the bodies, horse and sleigh drawn up in twenty fathoms water. Yesterday they were interred. Mr. Fletcher delivered one of the most pathetic sermons, to which I ever listened.	Feb 19 1819 Kingston Chronicle

Schermerhorn, Amos	OBITUARY - Amos Schermerhorn - The subject of this notice was born on the 15^th of January, 1797, at the family residence in the 1^st concession of Richmond, near the old Sager farm at the mouth of Napanee River. He lived with his step-father until he was about fourteen years of age. In his fifteenth year he went to Kingston and enlisted, serving through the troubles of 1812. During the time he was in this service he was present at the court-martial which tried McIntyre for desertion, and subsequently saw him shot. Since appropriations have been made for the purpose, he has drawn a pension for service during that war. At the close of those troubles he returned to Richmond and, settling in the 3^rd concession he engaged in farming, in which he continued upward of sixty years. On settling there the place was comparatively a wilderness. He had to carry his grain in bags on his back through the woods for some miles to the nearest mill and bring the flour back in the same way. He was the first man to introduce the iron plough, the lumber wagon and the buggy to the settlement. Besides carrying on the farming business he also engaged in rafting, getting out square oak and spars which he rafted to Quebec. He also did some rafting on Government account. He amassed considerable property on his farm and in his lumbering operation. He was a consistent member of the C. M. Church for over forty years, and was one of the most generous supporters of the Mount Pleasant church, in the graveyard attached to which his remains were interred. He has served in the County Council, and was on the Commission of the Peace for over sixty years, having been one of the first magistrates appointed. He married early taking as wife a Miss Sager. The issue of the union was five daughters, three of whom died young and the remaining two survive in the persons of Mrs. H. B. Allison and Mrs. I. Huffman. His wife died about ten years ago. He remained on his homestead for a few years after her death, but latterly has lived alternately with the two daughters named above. He was at the home at the last named when on the morning of the 19^th of January he had a stroke of paralysis, which rendered him unconscious, in which state he continued excepting during momentary intervals of consciousness, until death came to his relief a few days latter. He was a kind husband, an effectionate parent, a man respected by all who knew him for his unbending integrity of principle and his many moral and social virtues. An appropriate sermon was preached at his funeral by the Rev. R. F. Oliver, of Selby, which was listened to by a very large number of persons. The pall bearers were Messrs. Robert Shannon, Daniel Outwaters, Abel Rooks, Wm. McCall, John Gunn and Robert Maxwell.	Feb 3 1883 Napanee Standard

Scott, Female child	Child Strangled - A little two-year-old daughter of Mr. C. W. Scott, Storms' Corners, died under unusual circumstances at Wilton last Friday. Mr. Scott had removed from Arden, and Mrs. Scott and their two children started to join him. On their way out on the train the children were given some pop corn. The youngest, thinking it was not getting its share, threw back its head and began to yell and some of the corn passed down its windpipe. On arrival at Tamworth it was thought to be dead, but the Dr., after examining it said it would probably come to again, but that nothing could be done for it. This proved to be the case, and six hours afterwards it died at his brother's at Wilton, where the mother and children had arrived.	May 13 1898 Napanee Beaver

Scott, W.C.	The Late W.C. Scott, Napanee Napanee, July 21 – From a historical point of view it is interesting to recall that the late W.C. Scott was a direct descendant of one of the oldest families in this part of Canada. His great grandfather was Colonel Cornelius Vanalstine, who gave up large holdings of property near Albany N.Y., to lead a battalion of bateau men to the shores of the Bay of Quinte. He settled at Adolphustown, and was the first legislator ever elected from the district. In recognition of his loyalty to the British Crown he was granted 600 acres of land near Wellington, Prince Edward County; 600 in the Township of Rawdon; a large grant on Hay Bay in the Township of Adolphustown, and another large tract in Prince Edward, including the stone mills which he built at what is now Glenora.

Self, Cordelia (nee Treverton)	MRS. CORDELIA SELF - Was born in the town of Bodmin, Cornwall, England, January 15^th, 1827. Her maiden name was Treverton. She gave her heart to God in early life. She had a talent for singing, and gave that to the Lord also. When about nineteen our sister went to London, and there identified herself with the Waterloo Road Wesleyan Chapel, becoming zealous in the Master’s course. As a Sunday school teacher she was successful, under god, in training many young hearts in wisdom’s ways. It was there she became acquainted with William Gilbert Self, a local preacher on the circuit, to whom she was married July 27^th, 1851. Soon after that they removed to Coleraine, Ireland, where they were blessed with six children. While in Ireland the weary Methodist itinerant often found at their home a resting place. During the month of March, 1864, her husband died, and she was left with five young children to mourn her loss. Retuning with her family to England, she started a boot and shoe business at Lewisham, where her brother Henry resided; but sickness and losses compelled her to remove, and she went to the home of her youth in Bodmin. After some time she again went to the great metropolis. An accident befel her only daughter, which caused her death. In 1873 she removed to Canada, making Toronto her home. Here, with her family in a strange land, she found a place among the people of God at the Berkeley Street Methodist Church; and here her heart was gladdened by her sons giving their hearts to god. About three years and a half ago she had a paralytic stroke of the right side, which kept her confined to the house till the time of her decease. During that time she was a patient sufferer, being ever ready to speak a word for her Master. The visits of the Revs. Isaac Tovell and S.P. Rose, two former pastors, greatly strengthened her faith in God. She had just been reading her Bible, when suddenly, on the afternoon of Friday, July 16^th, 1886, the call came, and in less than half an hour the weary pilgrim swept through the gates, “washed in the blood of the Lamb,” to be with Christ and the loved ones gone before.

The Rev. Messrs. Courtice and Harris officiated at the services held at her son’s residence and Mount Pleasant Cemetery.	July 28 1886 Christian Guardian

The unfortunate man was busily engaged ploughing in a field, and was nearly finished when he noticed a loose shoe on one of the horses. He stopped the team, stepped in between them without unhitching the traces and pulled off the shoe. It came off easier than expected and Mr. Sexsmith lost his balance, and fell over against the other animal. This frightened the horses and they both started to run, throwing him in front of the plough. The share caught him in the hip and side and caused a frightful wound. In this manner he was dragged some forty or fifty rods, when the plough caught in a pine stump and raised high enough to release him. The horses crashed into a nearby fence, the one falling. Mrs. Sexsmith, widow of deceased and Mrs. Frank McConnell, who were in the house at the time, heard an unusual noise and Mrs. Sexsmith went out to see if there was anything amiss. She soon discovered that the horses were in a mix-up, and hastened towards them to find the body of her husband lying upon the ground. Willing hands were soon at the scene of the accident and he was taken to the house. Dr. Vrooman was telephoned for, and, in the meantime, Dr. Horton, who was visiting his parents in Roblin, tendered his assistance, but all was of no avail, as the unfortunate man died in about an hour and a half. He was conscious until the last and told his wife exactly how the accident happened. His end was peace. Mr. Sexsmith, who would have been fifty-nine years of age on the 28^th of this month, was an honest, upright citizen, honored and respected by all who knew him and his untimely death will be deeply regretted by all. The funeral was held from his late residence on Saturday morning, service being held in the Methodist Church at Roblin. The church was inadequate to accomodate all those who attended the service. The text was: “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Interment was made at Roblin. Besides a loving wife, deceased leaves an aged mother, Mrs. William Sexsmith, who is eighty-six years of age and resides at Newburgh; also six sisters, Mrs. Robert McGill and Mrs. Wesley McGill, Centreville; Mrs. Robert Nugent, Newburgh; Mrs. W. S. Baker, Hinch; Mrs. B. F. Detlor, Arden; Mrs. James Fitzgerald, Mackinaw, Mich.; one brother, Mr. Edw. Sexsmith, Newburgh, Ont.; two half sisters, Mrs. Wm. Clancy, Regina Sask., Mrs. C. E. Arnold, Mackinaw, Mich.; and one half brother, Mr. Joseph McGill, Regina Sask.	Sept 1910 Newspaper Clipping

Seymour, Benjamin	The Late Hon. B. Seymour Between one and two o'clock on Tuesday morning Senator Seymour breathed his last. The sad event was no unanticipated; indeed, for days it had been regarded by the medical attendants and relatives of the deceased as a certainty, and all were fully prepared for the announcement that he had passed away to the eternal rest. When a week ago last Friday the late Senator returned from Ottawa under the care of his son-in-law, Col. Williams, his condition of health was such as to induce painful apprehensions in the minds of all. From Sunday up to the moment of death he was semi-unconscious, occasionally giving utterance to incoherent remarks. Apparently he suffered very little, and his end was painless. The late Senator was the only son of an English gentleman, who somewhere about 1793 settled in the township of Fredericksburgh, Lennox and Addington, for the representation of which counties in Parliament he was twice a candidate. The deceased was born at Fredericksburgh in 1806, and was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Kingston. In 1833 he married the daughter of the late Duncan McKenzie, Esq. Fourteen years - from 1844 to 1854 - he sat for Lennox and Addington in the Canadian Assembly, and from 1855 to the Union was a member of the Legislative Council. At Confederation he was appointed to the Senate of the Dominion of Canada by Royal proclamation, and it was while engaged in the discharge of the duties of that position that he was stricken down. He leaves a widow, one son, and three daughters, Mrs. (Col) Williams, Mrs. VanKoughnet, Toronto, and Mrs. Duckett, who resides in Ireland.	Mar 24 1880 Daily British Whig

Sharp, Luke	A sad and terribly sudden death occurred yesterday morning at Morven, when Luke Sharp, a well known and highly respected farmer, died with but a few moments warning. The deceased was attending to his stock and leading a spirited colt about the yard, when he called to his son to take the colt into the stable that it had kicked him. He walked a few steps and fell to the ground, expiring almost instantly. Upon examination no marks of a kick could be found upon his person and it is thought that none occurred, but as he was troubled with his heart, that a fright caused the spasm that proved fatal. He leaves a family of three children, a daughter and two sons. It was only last April that Mrs. Sharp died. Deceased was a son of squire John Sharp, Napanee, who until a couple of years ago resided at Morven. The funeral takes place on Friday afternoon at one o'clock to the White church, Morven.

Sharp, Luther Photo	Sharp - drowned at Hay Bay on Thursday, Nov. 26th, 1903, Martin Luther Sharp, aged [42] years and 5 months. Sad Drowning Accident Sad indeed was the news which reached Napanee on Friday morning concerning the drowning of Mr. Luther Sharp, Sillsville, on Thursday. It seems he went out on the ice in the morning to take care of his fishing nets, and after seeing they were all right started to visit a neighbor who lived not very far away, and had gone but a short distance from his nets when he broke through and was drowned. That the unfortunate man made desperate efforts to save himself was evidenced by the fact that the ice for twenty feet square had all been broken up in his attempts to climb out upon the ice. As he did not return to his home in the evening his wife became anxious and a search party was organized. He was traced to the location of his nets, and from there his footsteps led towards his neighbors, which the search party followed until they came to the hole in the ice. The body was not recovered until the next morning, when it was grappled for and recovered in about twelve feet of water. Deceased was about thirty years of age and leaves a wife and one child, who are prostrated over the sad affair. The remains were brought to Napanee on Sunday and placed in the Western Cemetery vault. On Sunday, Nov. 30^th, the remains of the late Luther Sharp, the victim of the sad drowning accident which occurred on Hay Bay, were laid to rest. The funeral, which was very largely attended, was conducted by the Independent Order of Foresters, a number of Orangemen also being present, in both of which fraternities he was a member. Mr. Sharp was born and always lived at Sillsville, and his honesty, genial manner and kindness of heart won for him many staunch friends. He leaves a widow and one son well provided for; one brother George, who occupies the old homestead; two sisters, Mrs. Jas. Rennie, Sillsville, and Mrs. Whitney, Lethbridge, NWT to mourn his untimely end. The family and friends have the deep felt sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement, which follows that of the loss of the father less than three months previous to his son.

Shorey, Sidney	Mr. Sidney Shorey Burned to Death in Factory Fire. Remains of Body Found Next Day. Early Tuesday morning, Mr. Sidney Shorey was burned to death when fire destroyed the building known as Shorey’s Cheese Factory on the Hamburg Road, about three miles south of Napanee. The charred and almost totally consumed remains of Mr. Shorey were found in the morning after the fire had burned itself out. The fire was discovered about 1:00 a.m. as George Dickson of Sillsville and Howard Sedore, who lives near Napanee were driving down the road toward their homes. They immediately started a search for Mr. Shorey, who was known to use a part of the factory as a dwelling, but were unable to locate him. Mr. Shorey had operated the factory for many years but during the past two years it had not been in operation. He had continued to live in it. According to the story told by the two young men who were first at the scene of the tragedy, the fire had evidently started in the section of the factory formerly used to store ice. It was some little distance away from the quarters where Mr. Shorey lived. It is considered that Mr. Shorey, when the fire was discovered, had started to remove his belongings. A trunk of clothing and a lighted lantern were found in the field some distance from the building, which would seem to indicate that Mr. Shorey had returned to the building to get more things and had been overcome with smoke. His body was found immediately under the spot where the window of the bedroom was located. There is no evidence available as to the cause of the fire, but the police officers are investigating at present. It is not thought that there will be an inquest. Mr. Shorey was well and very favorably known in Napanee and the district. For many years he had operated the Shorey Factory and was always in Napanee on cheese board days to sell his produce. He was a quiet, retiring man noted for his honesty and fair-mindedness. He was the son of the late Rev. Edmund and Mrs. Shorey. He was unmarried and is survived by one sister, Miss Susie Shorey of Toronto, for many years a resident of Napanee and two brothers, Mr. L.B. Shorey, manager of the Bank of Montreal in Bobcaygeon and Mr. Edmund Shorey of Washington. The late Dr. S.J. Shorey, a former minister of Trinity United Church was an uncle, as was also the late Mr. Canfield Shorey. Arrangements for the funeral had not been made Tuesday night. Late Sidney Shorey – The charred remains of the late Sidney Shorey who perished when the Napanee cheese factory burned to the ground on Tuesday morning were brought to the undertaking parlors of VanLuven and Wartman. The question of an inquest has not fully been decided upon as yet , but it is likely that one will be held. Word was sent to the brother, L.B. Shorey and the undertakers are waiting word from him as to the funeral.	Dec 1935 Napanee Beaver Dec 4 1935 Kingston Whig Standard

His parents, both of old UEL families were George Sills and Elizabeth Rombough, whose family, including deceased, numbered eleven, all of whom are with the great majority except John, of Tweed, and Stewart, of Chicago. His own family consisted of Mrs. Fred Chapin, of Ogdensburg NY, who died 1891; Mrs. Robert Prost, of Chicago Ill., and Edward, living on the farm adjoining his parents. Deceased married Rachael, daughter of the late Edward Cole, of South Fredericksburgh, and is survived by her, they having shared together, for sixty years, the joys and sorrows of a happy married life. Deceased was for many years Dominion Fishery Inspector. In politics he was a life long and consistent Liberal Conservative, and was a personal acquaintance and friend of the late Sir John Macdonald. The large concourse gathered at his funeral on Tuesday, Dec. 2^nd to pay their last respects to his memory, testified to the personal worth of a true friend, a kind father and a loving husband. The remarks made by the Rev. W. D. Wilson, who conducted the funeral services, at the request of the deceased, assisted by the Rev. Geo. Nickle, were indeed very appropriate when he said concerning him who was gone, :"he was strong in his likes and strong in his dislikes, but a true friend whose word was his bond." The remains were place in Riverside Vault, awaiting burial in the family plot there.	1913 From Watson Scrapbooks

Bracebridge, Ont., July 20. - On Tuesday morning two Toronto ladies, Miss Sills, an invalid, and her nurse, Miss Phillips, residing for some time with Mr. T. Burgess of Bala, went down the river in a rowboat. As far as known they ventured too near the mouth of the Moon chute, and the current being very strong, they were swept down the chute. Could Not Help Them A party going down the river in a boat saw their danger, but they were too far from them to render any assistance. They found the boat, cushions, oars, etc., at the foot of the rapids, but no signs of the unfortunate occupants. The place where the accident happened is very dangerous, the current very swift and strong, and strangers should never venture near without a guide. This is only one of a number of accidents that have happened at Moon chute. Miss “Belle” Sills, as she was popularly known among her friends, was a daughter of Mr. E. G. Sills, ex-M.P.P., of Belleville. She had been suffering from nervous troubles since last autumn, and was in charge of Miss Mary Phillips, who is a graduate of the Toronto General Hospital, and a daughter of Asa Phillips of Newmarket.

Sills Erastus R.	One of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Napanee passed to his reward on Tuesday, in the person of Mr. Erastus R. Sills, at the age of 78 years. For the past few months the deceased had been in very poor health, he having been a sufferer from heart trouble. On several occasions he was confined to the house, and to his bed, but rallied and was able to be out and meet his friends. A few weeks ago he was again taken seriously ill, the attack being the severest of any which he had previously had. His illness began to take a critical aspect as the days went by and for the past week, owing to his weakened constitution and advanced age, little hope was held out for his recovery. Born in the Township of Richmond in the year 1851, the deceased was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Sills, his parents being of United Empire Loyalist stock. For 68 years he resided on the old homestead, which is situated a few miles from Napanee, and which he helped to erect. During the years which followed, after he left school, he pursued farming, in which he was most successful. About ten years ago he decided to retire from the active duties of the farm and came to Napanee to enjoy a well earned competence. The deceased was the last surviving members of a family of five, his two brothers, Ibri and Uriah, and two sisters, Mrs. James Empey and Mrs. Michael Pringle, having joined the great majority. The deceased, in his younger days, took an active interest in municipal affairs and was elected a member of the council of his native township. In politics he was a strong Liberal. He was also a sterling Christian and a church leader all his life. Of the original official board of the church of which he was a faithful steward throughout his life, he was one of two of the original board, the sole surviving member being Mr. Chas. Stevens, who is now 82 years of age. The former Western Methodist Church, now Grace United Church, never had a more devoted servant than Mr. Sills, and health permitting, he was always in his accustomed seat on the Sabbath Day. A number of years ago he and his good wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary and had he lived would have observed their diamond anniversary in another two or three years. Of a family of six, four survive: Aylsworth, of Toronto, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia; Wellington, of Napanee; Garfield, on the old homestead and one daughter, Mrs. Will Ballance of Strathcona. Two daughters, Mrs. W.A. Davis and Mrs. John Fennell, of Oshawa, passed away some years ago. To the bereaved widow and family, as well as his many relatives, the sympathy of the community is extended. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon from his late residence, to Grace United Church, of which he was a devoted member for many years. The esteem in which he was held in the community was evidenced by the large attendance of relatives and friends present to pay their tribute to one who was greatly honored. Fitting eulogies were given by the pastor, Rev. W.P. Woodger, and Rev. E.N. Baker, Principal Emeritus of Albert college, Belleville, who was a former pastor and a close friend of the deceased. Mrs. Harold Denison contributed a very appropriate solo. Interment took place at Riverside cemetery. The pall-bearers were Messrs. F.L. Hooper, Wm. Dunbar, C.A. Wiseman, A.M. Caton, O.S.

There is found my gain - I triumph, where thou tremblest. He stood in his integrity, just and firm of purpose, Aiding many, fearing none, a spectacle to angels, and to men” -- Extracts. REV. GEORGE SILLS, of South Fredericksburg, county of Lennox, departed this life on Monday, the 9^th of April, 1860, in the 94^th year of his age. He was born in Pennsylvania, and came to Montreal in 1780. He enlisted with Captain Gummersall in 1783; and was discharged the same year. Having drew land, as a U. E. Loyalist, he engaged, among the pioneers of this colony, to clear and cultivate the soil. The opportunities for mental culture in that day were very few and defective. His marriage to Miss Margaret Bell, which occurred in 1793, was an eventful step in his useful life. A true woman, who early after marriage, embraced religion, and united with the M. E. Church. A consistent life, yielding the fruits of true piety, led our late friend to the Saviour. For about 8 months he drank the bitter cup of repentance, and at last obtained mercy in June, 1798. As evidence of the new birth, he erected an altar in his house, and began to exhort and pray with his neighbors. The Church took cognizance of his gifts and graces, and early authorized him to exhort. His first license to preach bears date May 11, 1805, by Rev. Samuel Coates. The first renewal is dated Kingston, August 9, 1806, signed Joseph Sawyer, President. From that date he was honored and useful as a licensed Local Preacher, until the separation from our American Fathers in 1829. He was probably the first person elected and ordained as a Local Deacon, by the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada. The parchment is dated Kingston, August 22, 1830, and signed Elijah Hedding, who had been requested by the infant Church to come to Canada and ordain the candidates, no Bishop being yet ordained. After 10 years in this inferior office, he was elected and ordained an elder in the Church of God by the late Bishop Reynolds, and the elders of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada. His labours were abundant, and always appreciated; the ministrations of our deceased brother were characterized by that fervor and frankness and force so prominent in all his acts. The solemnity of his manner - the worth of his soul, and an ardent desire to make it free in Christ, called forth in his preaching the beauty of his mind, and the graces of his character; his person and voice commanding, persuasive. His last sermon, a few weeks before his death was founded on Heb. 2: 6; “What is man that thou art mindful of him?” Father Sills exemplified his profession openly, frankly, firmly, with all his energies he laboured to banish and drive away strange doctrines, maintaining that rule, “meddle not with those who are given to change.” In the troubles of Methodism he was steadfast and consistent. Born and trained in rural life, a true gentleman, a faithful friend, a good husband, and an honoured father, religion was the stay, the guide and ornament of his christian character. A minister intimate with him remarked, “He loved the church and the Savior.” By industry and frugality all his children enjoy a competence of this world’s goods. A part of his revenue was consecrated to God. His youngest son, who bears his own name, and succeeds him in his late home, was strongly beloved. Will my brethren, who know him, join me in granting his late request, in furnishing some dates for this obituary. He says “Pray for us that we may all meet around our Father’s throne in glory.” We have no concluding testimony; our brother died suddenly, seated at the breakfast table, partaking of his morning meal. Yet we rest secure. At his own request, made some nine years since, the writer attended at his funeral accompanied by Revd’s D. Nelson, and J. Graham. The remains of his late relict, was disinterred, and they were deposited together, to await the resurrection of the just. It has pleased God to remove him, - he is where and what he would be; his praise is in the churches, his record is on high! And we glory in the grace, that saved him and kept him 62 years and crowned him at last. We hope to meet him above. JAMES GARDINER Napanee April 27, 1860	Stray Newspaper Clipping 1860

SUDDEN CALL - The mystic boatman called very suddenly for Marshall Newton Sills, of Hay Bay, in the township of North Fredericksburgh on Thursday morning, March 14^th. He had been afflicted for some years with a lingering form of heart disease, but was feeling about as well as usual until the morning of his death, when without a moment’s warning he passed quietly and peaceably away, resting in the arms of his beloved wife. The deceased was born at Hay Bay on the 10^th October, 1854, and was in his fifty-third year at the time of his death. He was a great lover of the scenes of his childhood and never wandered far afield. His keen black eyes loved to rest on the peaceful waters of the old historic bay and his feet were always wont to tread the well known paths of this happy childhood days. He was a son of the late William Sills and his sainted wife, whose maiden name was Miss L. Huffman, who long since passed to the spirit land. On the 20^th March, 1901, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Gertie M. Russell, whose maiden name was Sexsmith, the eldest daughter of the late Joseph A. Sexsmith and his esteemed wife, who still survive. Our translated friend joined the Methodist church at Gay Bay, under the faithful ministry of Rev. E. Farnsworth, and remained a quiet and respected member until his death. Marshall Newton Sills was a man who thought much and talked little on religious subjects. He felt more than he told, experienced deeper things than could be expressed in words, and while in the furnace of affliction he had learned the secret of trust and hope. He was not afraid to live, nor was he afraid to die. When carefully questioned in relation to his future hope more than a year previous to his death, he confidently affirmed that he experienced neither fear nor dread. If it is possible for a human soul to be made perfect through suffering, then the subject of this sketch was perfected, for he suffered much and long. The funeral, which took place on Saturday morning, March 16^th was well attended. A memorial service was held in the Bay church, being conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Dow. It is not often one attends such a solemn and impressive service and many were deeply moved in relation to spiritual things. May such impressions bear lasting fruit.

Born in the year 1828, he spent his long life almost entirely in the Township of South Fredericksburgh. He was possessed of an exceptionally kind and mirthful disposition, combined with true integrity of character, which won for him a warm place in the lives of those with whom he came in contact. In 1848 he married Eleanor Hughes Carnahan, who is left to mourn the loss of a kind and faithful husband. To them were born nine children, seven of whom are living. The sympathy of the community goes out to those bereft. Morris Sills, Hayburn, one of the old residents of that district, died Friday after a prolonged illness, aged about eighty years. Dr. N.J. Sills, Napanee, is a son. Several daughters and two other sons survive. The funeral took place yesterday.	Apr 27 1906 Napanee Express 1906 From the Watson Scrapbooks Apr 24 1906 Daily British Whig

Sills, Wm., Sr.	Death of a Veteran - The Christian Guardian contains an obituary notice of the late William Sills, sr., of Fredericksburgh township. In the rebellion of 1837 he held the position of adjutant of the militia quartered in Kingston. He was 91 years of age at his death. For years he has been a loyal member of the Methodist Episcopal church. An Old Veteran - Wm. Sills died recently at South Fredericksburgh. He was first reeve in the township of Thurlow, and also local superintendent of schools for some years in south Hastings. In the war of 1812, being a son of a united empire loyalist, he took up arms in defence of his country, and acted as sergeant under Captain Philip; and in the rebellion of 1837-38 held the position as adjutant of militia quartered at the city of Kingston, ever believing it was right to fear the Lord and serve his country. William Sills Sen. Our departed brother was born in the township of Fredericksburgh, county of Lennox, in the year 1795 and slept in Jesus at his home in the township of Thurlow, September 24^th, 1886, in the ninety-second year of his age. In 1815 he was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Fralick, to which union was given fifteen children, eight of whom are still living. In the year 1820, he with his companion were converted to God, when Methodism was as it is now, all one. He reared an altar of prayer, declaring, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." His whole future life was identified with the welfare of the Methodist Church, grieving with heartfelt sorrow over any temporary declension of the spiritual life of the Church, and his heart sang for joy when the Lord brought again Zion. He filled many important positions in the church, viz, class leader, steward, trustee, and local preacher. He was an ordained local elder in the late M.E. Church, being a man of very active turn, fully carrying out the injunction of the apostle, "Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord," and realized that "Godliness is profitable in all things." As a man of business he was conscientious and honest. He was entrusted with many honored positions in public life, ever discharging them faithfully and acceptably, such as Commissioner of the court of Bequests while living in Fredericksburgh. He was the first reeve in the township of Thurlow, and also local superintendent of the common schools for some years in South Hastings. In the war of 1812, being a son of a United Empire Loyalist, he took up arms in defence of his country, and acted as sergeant under Captain Philip; and in the rebellion of 1837-38 held the position as Adjutant of the Militia quartered at the city of Kingston, ever believing it was right to fear God and serve his country. His companion departed this life about six years ago, after living together for sixty years. Since the death of his wife he has been very lonely at times, but without scarcely a murmur, saying they would meet by and by where parting would never come. The writer of this sketch had the pleasure of his friendship for a few years, being his pastor for four years, and always found him a good counsellor; above the ordinary in memory and intellect. He was confined to his room all summer, but received every attention by his son, Peter D. Sills, and in fact all of his children. The writer, by request, preached his funeral sermon to a large congregation of mourning friends and sympathizing neighbors, and was assisted by the pastor, Rev. Thomas Brown, and Revs. L.A. Bests and E. Howard. H.I. Allen	Jan 5 1887 Daily British Whig Jan 5 1887 Daily News Dec 29 1886 Christian Guardian
Sills, William B.	SOUTH FREDERICKSBURGH - IN MEMORIAM OF W. B. SILLS. Died, on the 11^th inst., at South Fredericksburgh, at his old residence, with his son Ryerson Sills, Mr. William B. Sills, aged 87 years, 3 months, and 25 days. Mr. Sills was a son of one of the old U. E. Loyalists, who battled for British supremacy in the revolutionary war, whose property was confiscated and he driven to seek a home in the wild woods of Canada. The subject of this memoir proved himself to be a worthy scion of the old stock, as he was one of the first to enrol himself to defend the adopted home of his father from the invasion of our American neighbors. Mr. Sills continued to battle for his country during the whole war of 1812-14, and was always ready to fight for British supremacy and battle the invaders of his country. He helped to fell the trees of our wilderness, and lived to see towns supplant the forest; but he has gone to rest, leaving one less on the old roll, and the remnant to battle the world alone. A more thoughtful and affectionate father will be hard to find. He lost his companion when a young man. He clung to his children and became a protector - a mother as well as a father to a family of nine children, six sons and three daughters, who were all, with only one exception, present at the funeral ceremonies. - [COM.

Sinclair, John	JOHN SINCLAIR - Few of our ministers are alive today who remember the old Methodist chapel on the site of the Medical Hall, St. James Street, Montreal. Among the most regular worshippers in the old chapel and for many years in the new church - now, alas! so soon to be abandoned - were Mr. and Mrs. John Sinclair, whose home was always open to our ministers, and where a generous hospitality was cheerfully dispensed. The conscientiousness that fifty years ago induced Mr. S. to retire from the West India trade on account of his temperance principles, marked every department of his life, and after a long business career he retired from its active duties about twenty years ago. Since then, whatever of strength and ability he retained were cheerfully bestowed on works of a philanthropic character. He was a member of the original Board of organization of the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge, and continued down to the present year a most energetic and earnest supporter of that institution, a life governor of the General Hospital and for many years the representative of the Methodist Church on the trust of the Mount Royal Cemetery. Five years ago, in advanced life and full of the hope of immortality, Mrs. Sinclair finished her course with joy, leaving an unblemished record as a devout Christian a faithful wife and a devoted mother. The lengthy period of a peaceful wedded life, when separation came, left the survivor sadly bereaved, and Mr. Sinclair thenceforward, in gathering infirmities, threaded life’s pathway alone. The premonition of approaching dissolution came in the form of a paralytic stroke a year ago. And now the strong man became as a child, not in physical weakness only, but also in calm, patient trust, and the full expectation of a blessed release. His pastor, the Rev. J. Cooper Antliff, B. D. of the Dominion Square church, had a very satisfactory interview with Mr. S. only a few days before his death. He had not trusted in vain. “Even to your old age I am he, and even to --- --- I will carry you.” was to him a fulfilled promise; and after giving the continued assurance of a sustaining faith in the Almighty Father, on Sunday, the 8^th of August, the message came, and at the ripe age of eighty-six years, death was swallowed up of life.

Such a pure and correct life has made the world easier for her living in it. Her death has cast a gloom over the community. Whoever entered her home always retained pleasant recollections of the kindly genial welcome she gave them, how sweetly she entered into the lives of all her friends, one never went away from her disappointed; her friendship was satisfying. The funeral service, which was very impressive, was conducted by Rev. M. Nickel, of Odessa.

Smith, F. W.	At Napanee, on Monday, May 7^th 1917, F. W. Smith, in his 72^nd year. F.W. Smith - Napanee lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens on Monday, may 7^th, when Frederick William Smith passed away. For a number of months he has been in failing health, and, while he continued at his accustomed business, he was less and less able for the tasks in which he had always taken such a pleasure. On April 23^rd heart trouble developed, and from that until his death he sank steadily, despite everything that medical attention and nursing could do. Forty-nine years ago he came to Napanee from Kingston and started in the business that he continued with such success until his death. As a jeweler he has had the confidence of the community at large. He was most attentive to his business and his holidays were spent with the institution that he liked so well. There are only three men in business in Napanee who were here when he came half a century ago. For a man of his quiet and unostentatious disposition he was surprisingly popular among the men of the town, and a wide circle of friends and a smaller circle of intimates will miss him much. His association with the Men’s Bible Class at Trinity Church for months past has been an inspiration to the men. His opinions and advice were always sound. A Methodist and a Conservative he was of decided and outspoken opinions, but was quite willing to accord others freedom of belief and action. The funeral, under the Masonic Order of which he has been a member for over thirty-five years, was from his late residence. A sister, Louisa, learning of his illness came from Kingston to nurse him, and died suddenly of the same ailment as Mr. Smith two days before he passed away. His wife, Amelia Tobey, predeceased him eleven years. He leaves an only son, Harry, to succeed him in the business with his brother, William C. Other surviving brothers are Geo. E. and Charles A., who were present at the funeral and Frank M., in California and two sisters at Kingston, Etta and Jane.

Smith, John J.	Smith - At Fredericksburgh, on Wednesday, 15^th March, John J. Smith, aged 78 years, 3 months and 7 days. John J. Smith - died at his home in Fredericksburgh on Wednesday night, 15^th inst., after an illness of nearly seven weeks, caused by an accident in which he fell on a stick of wood, which broke his ribs and pierced his lung. Deceased was in his 79^th year, and was of U.E.L. descent, both he and his wife being descended from pioneer stock. His wife, whose maiden name was Miss Cinderella Baker, survives him, also three children, W.R. on the homestead, Mrs. A. Lucas, Belleville, and Stanley, attending Albert College. Mr. Smith was an industrious, intelligent man, an adherent of the Methodist church, a staunch conservative, and highly respected by all who knew him. He served at Kingston during the rebellion of 1837. The funeral service will be held at the White church, Morven, this Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Smith's grandfather was one of the U.E.L. Pioneers of this county. He settled on the farm in North Fredericksburgh in 1784, where the deceased, his grandson, was born, lived and died, and where some of the fourth generation are now living. He was a son of the late Jacob Smith, a prominent resident fifty years ago. Of a once large family but three members now remain: Mrs. Benjamin Huyck, now of Napanee, Matthias Smith, of Croydon, and Robert Smith, now of Algoma. It is with regret we have to chronicle the death of Mr. John J. Smith, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, a man noted for his honesty, integrity and charitable dealings with all whom he come in contact, which was amply proven by the very large attendance at his funeral on Friday last to the White church, Morven. Revs. Wilson and Shorey officiated, Mr. Wilson preaching in his usual able and instructive manner, displaying ability rarely retained by men of his advanced age, 84 years. Died of His Injuries Fredericksburgh, March 16 – J.J. Smith, so seriously injured about seven weeks ago by falling backward on a small log of wood in the wood yard, by which he had two ribs broken, a lung punctured and other internal injuries from which he has since been ailing, died yesterday afternoon. During his long illness he had taken no nourishment whatever and only one of strong physical endurance could have resisted this for so long a time. He was aged seventy eight years and three months. The funeral service will be held at his late residence tomorrow afternoon. The Rev. David Wilson officiates by special request of deceased. Napanee, March 17 – On Wednesday last death claimed one of the oldest and best know residents of North Fredericksburgh in the person of John J. Smith, who died at his residence at the ripe age of seventy eight years, three months and seven days. Deceased was of the old united empire loyalist stock, his ancestors coming to this vicinity over one hundred years ago and settling in Fredericksburgh. Deceased was born and lived his long life on the farm upon which he died, inheriting it from his father, the late Jacob Smith, widely known among the early settlers. Few families have as wide a connection throughout the county as the Smith family of which deceased was a member. He was a man respected for his uprightness of character, whose word was ever his bond. No one was ever known to come to him in distress and be turned away empty. As a neighbour he will be missed for many a day., throughout his long life he tried never to let a day pass without ding some kind service for some one. He was a man of great business ability, always having a system in his work, which he contended lightened labor, as well as brought its reward financially. He was always healthy, scarcely ever knowing a day’s illness., and had it not been for the accident in January last, many more years of his useful life would have been spared. His suffering in the early part of his illness was very severe, but towards the end no pain was noticeable and death came gently. A wife and family of three children survive; Willett R., on the homestead; Stanley, attending Albert College, Belleville and Ida, Mrs. B. Lucas, Belleville. Two brothers, Robert, of Thessalon; Matthew of Croydon and one sister, Mrs. Huyck, Napanee are all that are left of a large family. He was a staunch conservative in politics. The funeral talks place this afternoon at wo o’clock to the Morven vault.	Mar 17 1899 Napanee Beaver Mar 24 1899 Napanee Beaver Mar 23 1899 Weekly British Whig Mar 17 1899 Daily British Whig

Smith, Margaret (nee Critchlow)	PASSING AWAY OF MRS. BANKER SMITH – ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST HIGHLY ESTEEMED RESIDENTS OF NAPANEE ENTERED INTO HER REST IN HER NINETY-SECOND YEAR. – Many in Napanee will regret the loss of a good friend, a kindly and sympathetic adviser and comforter, and of a helper in many ways in times of need, in the passing away of Mrs. Margaret Smith, widow of the late Alexander Smith, who was the first manager of the Napanee branch of the Merchants Bank of Canada, and held that position for thirty years. Her death occurred at her home on Bridge Street, about 8 o’clock on the evening of Thursday, November 7^th 1918 at the great age of ninety-one years, six months and four days. Her last illness was of only four days’ duration, and although very weak maintained her faculties until the day of her death. Pneumonia set in on Wednesday but she suffered no pain, and spoke freely of her readiness for her eternal home. She slept peacefully away. The nearest relatives to mourn her loss are H. C. Barker, Schenectacy, N.Y., nephew; Mrs. W. O. M. Cross, Toronto, Ont., and Mrs. David McClew, Napanee, nieces, who were in attendance at the funeral which was held on Saturday afternoon. Religious services were conducted at the house by Mr. Stanley McDowell, of Montreal, and Mr. William Crossley, of Hamilton, according to the usage of the branch of the Plymouth Brethren, founded by the late Lord Cecil in this district many years ago, and with which body Mrs. Smith was identified, giving of her time, money and talents to the furtherance of Christ’s Kingdom. Many floral tributes were placed upon her coffin, among which were a beautiful wreath sent by Mr. E. R. Checkley and his sister, Miss Checkley; also a very handsome bouquet of pink roses sent by Sir Edmund Osler, to Toronto. Interment took place in the family burial plot in Riverside cemetery. Mrs. Smith lived under the reigns of five British Sovereigns. George IV was King when she was born on the 3^rd day of May, 1827, on the Island of Barbadoes, British West Indies, and he was followed in succession by William IV, Victoria, Edward VII and our present most gracious Sovereign, King George V. Only a short time ago Her Majesty Queen Mary was graciously pleased to send a letter complimenting Mrs. Smith for the beautiful work done by her in knitting socks for the soldiers. Mrs. Smith was one of the eight daughters of Henry Critchlow, Esq., of Bridgetown, Barbadoes, and on that Island met and married her future husband, the late Alexander Smith, who was at the time an officer of the 72^nd Highlanders, and was stationed there with his regiment. At the time of their marriage, sixty-eight years ago, Mr. Smith sold out his commission in the army, and with his young bride came to Canada and went as far west as Fergus, where he took up land and tried the strenuous life of a pioneer farmer, but three years on the farm convince him that farming was not his vocation. After selling the farm, Mr. Smith received the appointment of paymaster for the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway between Toronto and Galt. He had a very rough class of men to deal with and Mrs. Smith spent anxious moments regarding his safety. One incident which she recently spoke of shows that he was the right man for the position he held. He was always armed with a revolver, as was his assistant, and on the occasion referred to it seemed to be a wise provision. The men made some unreasonable demands of the paymaster who held them at bay with his revolver while his assistant, slipping out of the hut, fought his way through the crowd and brought back the priest who soon restored order. Mr. Smith forthwith levied a tax on each man’s pay for the benefit of the church, and he had no trouble afterwards. Four young priests of the Church of England were frequent and welcome guests of Mr. and Mrs. Smith about this time, they afterwards became Bishop DuMonlin, Bishop Carmichael, Bishop Sullivan, and Archbishop Hamilton Primate, of all Canada. Mrs. Smith was first manager of the Commercial Bank, which was afterwards merged into the Merchants Bank, which position he held until his death. Mrs. Smith was of a most lovable disposition and had a wide circle of friends, both old and young, who will ever treasure pleasant recollections of precious moments spent with her. Such a life as hers has not been spent in vain, and her words and works will live long after all that is mortal of her has become dust.	1918 From the Watson Scrapbooks

She was born near Hawley where she spent her early years and came to Richmond township as a bride where she and her husband resided on the farm for many years.

As she was preparing to rise in the morning and while her husband was attending to the fires, she suddenly collapsed and died before medical help could be secured. Her health had not been good for some time, but there was no indication of her condition being worse than usual previous to her death. Mrs. Smith was formerly Mary Ida Fretts, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Fretts. She was born nearly 76 years ago at Hawley, on the farm now occupied and owned by her brother, Mr. Eb. Fretts.

Smith, Willet Ross	SMITH - At North Fredericksburgh on Sunday March 21^st 1920, Willet Ross Smith, aged 54 years. W.R. Smith - It is with drooping head and sad heart we have to chronicle the demise of W.R. Smith. Born in the Township of Fredericksburgh just north of the Fredericksburgh station, on the main line of the G.T. R., in the year 1866, on the same farm his father was born on, and where his grandfather, a sturdy U.E. Loyalist, had hewn out a home in the wilderness for a large, respectable and prolific family who have scattered over and helped to make this great Dominion of Canada what it is to-day. Mr. Smith was a born gentleman, not a great professing Church man, but a very unassuming real Christian, a self educated practical business man. His immediate neighborhood early learned his true worth, as his many years of public service on the School Board and many other public duties proved, and was at the time of his demise Secretary-Treasurer of Union cheese factory and Reeve of his native Township, and we almost think he contracted a severe cold while attending the Good Roads Convention in Toronto a short time ago, which developed into fly and pneumonia. His life partner was Miss Addie Daly, who is left to mourn, along with three daughters, Miss Ida, Mrs. Harold Brandon and Mrs. Ray Perry; also a sister and one brother, Dr. Stanley Smith, of Streetsville. The funeral was held from the home and thence to the White Church, Morven, and was largely attended, considering the very bad condition of the roads. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. R. G. Carruthers, and under the auspices of the Loyal Orange Lodge.	Mar 26 1920 Napanee Beaver Mar 29, 1920 Daily British Whig

Spencer, Rev. Albert	A Sudden Death Summons Canon Spencer Attacked by Heart Failure In Picton on Saturday Evening - Expired almost Immediately - Sketch of His Career - A Good Man Hath Fallen Asleep at His Post of Duty Sudden was the death summons to canon Spencer, clerical secretary of Ontario diocese, on Saturday evening, and sorrowfully was the news of his demise received by the people of Kingston on Sunday morning. On Saturday afternoon he received a message from bishop Mills to go to Picton to assist him in confirmation services; canon Evans had sent word of his inability to be present. Canon Spencer complied with the bishop's request, and went to Picton on the steamer Hero. Arriving there he went to a friend's house, and while conversing with Rev. Mr. Loucks, he suddenly collapsed. Medical aid was summoned, but the kindly and generous heart had ceased to beat. It is supposed that the exertion in walking up the hill from Picton wharf had greatly fatigued canon Spencer, who was troubled with heart disease. The remains were brought to Kingston Sunday morning by the steamer North King. The late Rev. Albert Spencer was the fifth son of Dr. John Spencer, Lyn, Ont., and grandson of the late Col. Hazleton Spencer, a retired army officer. He was born at Lyn on Aug. 25th 1839, and was educated at the public and high schools. From 1855 to 1863, he was a public school teacher. Pursuing his studies at the Delaney divinity school, Geneva, N.Y., he was ordained deacon in 1863 and priest in 1865, by the late archbishop Lewis. After serving as a licensed travelling missionary in Renfrew and Leeds, he was named curate of Kemptville in 1868. He held the office of local superintendent of schools in Leeds from 1866 to 1869. Then in June, 1880, canon Spencer was elected clerical secretary of the diocesan synod of Ontario, twenty-one years ago this month, and clerical secretary of the general synod in September, 1893. He was appointed a canon of St. George's cathedral, Kingston, in 1891. Canon Spencer was one of the originators of the Kingston historical society in 1893. He also held the position of honorary secretary in Ontario diocese of the corporation of the Church house, Dean's yard, Westminster, England. Occasionally he wrote in the press on controversial subjects, and contributed the historical sketch of Ontario diocese to the Canadian church magazine in 1887. Canon Spencer was a conservative by tradition and conviction, and was strongly in favor of maintaining the unity of the empire. He advocated religious teaching in schools, and the right of each religious body to its own schools, wherever desired and practicable. He believed that the true solution of the problem of the liquor traffic was to be found in some modification of the Gothenburg system. In July 1865, canon Spencer married Emma Jane, daughter of James C. Cross, East Bloomfield, N.Y., who died many years ago. The surviving children are: Rev. Hugh Spencer, Marquette, Mich.; A.H. Spencer, Wisconsin; and Mrs. Rayson. Canon Spencer was fitly described recently as "one of nature's good kind." His geniality and beautiful qualities will ever be remembered. Sincerely will he be mourned, and difficult will it be to fill the office he so faithfully occupied for the past twenty-one years. Kindly reference was made in the city Anglican churches last night to the death of canon Spencer, who was described as "wearing the white flower of a blameless life." The funeral takes place from the family residence on Alfred street, on Tuesday morning at half past ten o'clock to St. George's cathedral. Thence the remains will be taken to the K. & P. railway station. Interment takes place at Kemptville.	June 10 1901 Daily British Whig

Storms, John	STORMS - In Ernesttown, near Violet, on Monday, Nov. 2^nd, 1885, John Storms, aged 90 years. A Veteran Passes Away - One of Ernesttown's Landmarks - Service to His Country The late John Storms was born on Jan 1^st, 1796 in the township of Ernesttown. His father came from the United States in 1790. John was the eldest of six children, five boys, all of whom departed this life some years ago. The words of scripture have been literally fulfilled in this case, "The first shall be the last." During the war of 1812 to 1815 he was called upon to enter the service. Capt. Clark being the officer under whom he served. The company to which he belonged was stationed in Kingston. Whilst there intelligence reached him of his father's serious illness. He procured leave of absence and hastened home, but it was to see his father close his eyes on all earthly scenes. He has received a pension for some years past for services then rendered. After the death of his father, it was his duty to take charge of and provide for the wants of the family. Here he did not fail, but with God's blessing succeeded in keeping a home for a sorrow stricken mother and bereaved children. In 1818 he gave his hand and heart to Elizabeth Hogle, daughter of Sebastian Hogle, a U.E. Loyalist. In this lady he found a true helpmeet who shared his trials and joys for the space of sixty-five years. This union resulted in six children, five boys, one of whom is not. The itinerant minister found in his home a welcome and quiet resting place. In politics he was a Reformer, never wavering to please friend or foe. It may be said of him that he was a good man and true. He was widely known among the people of his day, and by all he was respected as a man generous, upright and industrious, always ready to assist in any good work for the benefit of the community. He was for more than half a century a member of the Methodist Church, consistently practicing all the tenets of his faith. It could not be said that he was sick at all, the physical machinery simply wore out, and the stoppage was so gradual that the approaching change was almost imperceptible. His son, Norman Storms has for some years occupied the homestead, by whom his declining years were comforted by every attention that filial duty could suggest. During the last year, and almost half of his life, he was frequently visited by his pastor, to whom he spoke freely of his faith in Christ and hope in a blissful immortality. On other subjects his mind would wander, but on this it was a s clear as a sunbeam. His last words were "My Saviour." His sun went down on the evening of Nov. 2nd, but to arise into clearer light and beauty and to shine on in the presence of the redeemed, the angels and God, forever. The funeral took place on Wednesday, Nov. 4^th at Violet, and was largely attended. A sermon was preached by the writer from the text Rev. 14.13 - after which the corpse was laid in the vault. He has left five children, eighteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. May they all meet him in the home above.	Nov 6 1885 Napanee Standard Dec 10 1885 Weekly British Whig
Storr, Margaret	There passed away peacefully, one of Richmond Township’s old and highly esteemed citizens, in the person of Mrs. Margaret Storr, widow of the late John Storr, at the age of sixty-nine years. The deceased had been in failing health for some months, but has always been a most patient sufferer. Everything possible was done to lengthen out the brittle thread of life, but without avail, and on November 7^th her spirit winged its flight to the realms of eternal bliss. Mrs. Storr had been a resident of Roblin and vicinity for many years, and will be greatly missed by her many acquaintances, as well as her own immediate relatives. Of late she had made her home with her daughters, Mrs. Archie Denison, of Napanee, and Mrs. Wesley Davis, where she fell asleep in Jesus. Mrs. Storr was a splendid type of Christian womanhood, having been converted some thirty-six years ago in special revival services at the Ebenezer Church of the Selby Circuit, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Robeson, of saintly memory. Since that time she lived a consistent, victorious Christian life, seeking to please and glorify Him who had redeemed her, and to help spread His Kingdom in the earth. Her sun went down without cloud or shadow. All was clear between her soul and her God. The funeral was held from the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Wesley Davis, to the Holiness Movement Church, Roblin, and was conducted by her Pastor, Rev. P. C. Bennett, assisted by Rev. H. W. Foley, of Selby, and Rev. R. Tomlinson, of Roblin. The text used on the occasion is found in II Tim. 4: 7-8. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Brooks sang during the service very touchingly, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” The large congregation attested to the esteem in which the departed was held. The remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband, who predeceased her about seven years ago. The flowers were beautiful, consisting of a pillow and wreath from the family and the grandchildren. The pall-bearers were Leopold Carscallen, Frank Gray, John McFarlane, Herb Windover, Herb Asselstine, and John McConnell. Two daughters, Rhoda, Mrs. Wesley Davis, and Gertie, Mrs. Archie Denison, are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate and loving mother; also one sister, Mrs. Ezra Thompson, of Dauphin, man.; one brother, Silas Storring of Sharp’s Corners, and several grandchildren. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sorrowing hearts. Amid the darkness of the hour comes the comfort of knowing that she has gone to be with Christ which is far better.

Strickland, Nancy	NANCY STRICKLAND - Was born in Rosedale, Yorkshire, on July 5^th, 1834, and died in Oshawa, Ont., on March 6^th, 1886. She came to Canada with her parents when nine years of age. When young she spent some years in teaching school, for which she was qualified by a first class A Normal School certificate. It was while engaged in teaching at Picton from 1867 to 1869 that she was converted to God and joined the Methodist Church. Her inclinations, however, soon led her to devote her talents to other work than teaching. She had a rare gift for fancy needlework, for painting and drawing and in these she acquired great proficiency. Her skill to these things was well known throughout this country, as many diplomas and medals testify. She also enjoyed the distinction of receiving diplomas and medals abroad, both from the Centennial at Philadelphia, in 1876, and from the Paris Exposition in 1878. But it is not of these things I would speak in particular. She did not excel more as an artist that she did as a woman and as a Christian. She had an excellent judgment combined with force of character. She had a knowledge of the world. She was admirably qualified to relieve her aged parents of all care concerning their domestic and secular affairs. She was a clever woman; she was a good woman. She never took a prominent place in public religious exercises, but she led a beautiful life. She was tranquil, considerate, devout. The weak would feel like clinging to her to confirm their steps by her moral strength. She was a life member of the woman’s Missionary Society. She was ill some months at last, and though death came more suddenly that was anticipated, it could not take her unaware. She was always ready to die. She was exultant in Christ. Seldom is a daughter, a sister, a friend more missed; seldom is the memory of the just more blessed. [signed] T. Manning	May 12 1886 The Christian Guardian

Sweet, Clara (nee Cook)	Mrs. Harold Sweet A deep gloom was cast over the whole community, when the wife of Harold Sweet, nee Clara cook, passed away, after a brief illness, in the General Hospital, Kingston. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was of no avail, and she entered into rest at four o’clock on the afternoon of April 14^th, at the early age of thirty-six years. Deceased was a woman of sterling quality, bright and cheery in her home, a loving wife and mother, beloved by all who knew her; and while her body was racked with pain, her mind was on the higher things of life, and often her voice would raise in song and prayer. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, including a large wreath from Ontario Motor Works of Oshawa, where the deceased’s brothers are employed, and many others from friends, showing the high esteem in which she was held.

Sweet, Eddie	There is a gloom cast over our town by the accident which befell one of our boys. The Sweet twin brothers have been employed by Mr. Fred Perry, for the past three months, doing general farm work. All went well until Wednesday of last week, when Mr. Fred Perry and the Sweet brothers started a few miles north for some timber. They all started off in their usual merry way, laughing and chatting as though nothing would go wrong. They called at the boys’ father's home. This was the last his parents saw poor Eddie alive. They finally got to their destination, and were in the act of falling a large elm tree.

Sweet, John	Napanee, Oct. 15 – An accident with fatal results occurred yesterday at Fredericksburg Station, about five miles east of Napanee, resulting in the death of John Sweet, son of Robert G. Sweet, of Fredericksburg Station. The facts gleaned are that an accident to a freight train, early in the morning, had blocked the west track, and the sectionmen were working about this place. Sweet was one of the crew, and was sent to the station for a pail of water and was returning on the east track. Owing to the accident to the freight blocking the west track, No. 1 International Limited was on the east track, but this was known to the sectionmen. Sweet was walking on the track and apparently did not hear the approaching train. When the engineer noticed him he whistled a prolonged whistle, which caused Sweet to turn about, when he was struck on the head by the engine and thrown some distance and instantly killed. His legs and arms were broken and a deep gash made on his forehead. Deceased was about twenty years of Age. Coroner Cowan went out to the scene of the accident, but deemed an inquest not necessary and from the particulars gleaned saw no reason to attach any blame to the G.T.R.

Switzer, Jane (nee Card)	Switzer - At Sandhurst, on May 8^th, 1896, Zelica Jane, beloved wife of Mr. Martin Switzer, aged 43 years, 1 month and 3 days. Obituary-JANE CARD - wife of Martin Switzer, Sandhurst, passed peacefully away on Friday last, May the 8^th, aged 43 years. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. G. B. Card of Enterprise. Mrs. T. Mellow and Miss Maud Card, of Willard N.Y., are sisters; Marshal of Richmond, Jacob of Hay Bay, Jeffrey of Sillsville, Edgerton of Kingston and Charlie are brothers. Deceased had been in poor health for two years past but was only confined to her bed three days before her death. As a wife, neighbour, friend and a member of the church, she was above reproach and enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew her. Besides a bereaved husband, brothers and sisters, she leaves one child, a young man of twenty years. Lela, her only daughter, preceded her mother to the tomb about two years ago. The funeral took place on Sunday, Rev. Mr. Shorey conducting the service. It was largely attended by friends from Napanee, Bath, Hawley and Kingston, which showed the esteem in which Mrs. Switzer was held. She has gone with Lela to dwell She has said to her husband farewell Your wife you often will miss Her work for the Master was done She was ready when called for to go A crown of bright glory has won and a robe that is white as the snow. Mother now in her garments of white Walks the streets with the glorified throng In the raptures of glory delight With the glorified sing the new song With us he could no longer stay Her body was borne from our door angels bright did her spirit convey Where partings and tears are no more. Dear mother, bound close to our hearts As the ivy that clings to the oak But Jesus thought best we should part The cord that once bound us is broke. As we stood by the side of her casket And gazed on her marble white brow, Wish her back, no, we never could ask it For she is far happier now. It was hard to bid her good-bye And to bury her out of our sight; God took her, we cannot tell why, But we know what he does must be right. Husband dear, I must bid you farewell, Let me take from your lips a last kiss, I am going with Jesus to dwell; Dear son George, your mother you often will miss. Remember, you have one more tie To draw you from this world of care; May we all meet again bye and bye In a home of the blest over there. Dear husband and son, you’ll not forget When I am laid under the sod, Though lonely, yet do not fret, For I have joined Lela at home with God.	May 15 1896 Napanee Beaver

Switzer, Lottie (nee Thompson)	It was a painful shock to her many friends in Toronto and Napanee, Ont., the death on Sunday evening, December 8, at the latter place, of Lottie Thompson, beloved wife of Edwin E. Switzer, of the British America Assurance Co., this city, and daughter of the late Rev. James and Martha Thompson, Napanee, in her thirty-fourth year. Although in filing health for some two years, her end was unexpected so soon. The deceased was visiting her aunt in Napanee, Mrs. T. W. Casey, and for six weeks had been going in and out among her relatives and old friends at church and on the streets in her usual cheerful spirits, and on Thanksgiving (November 28) was out driving with her husband. She was but two days confined to her room, and one day to her bed. She fully expected to return soon to her beloved Christian work in Toronto, but it was providentially otherwise ordered. The late Mrs. Switzer was indeed a Christian much beloved; her amiable, exemplary character breathed a sweet influence in the church, Sabbath-school, and upon all with whom she came in contact. Free from sanctimoniousness or cant, yet always loyal and true to God, ready to discharge every Christian duty, and render help wherever needed, with a sunny, cheerful disposition that made her life a benediction to others. In later years, especially, she was a close student of the Bible, manifesting a powerful grasp of Scripture truth, and a most remarkable faith in God, who gave her repeated victories during her particularly trying affliction. 'Patient in tribulation,' she was resigned to her heavenly Father's will. Those who witnessed her peaceful death will not soon forget. 'The smile that lay upon her lips. Hers was the secret Of sorrow's glad surcease, Upon her forehead shone the benediction Of everlasting peace.' Since her marriage about nine years ago, deceased was a constant working member of Trinity Church, Bloor Street, Toronto, a teacher in the Sunday school, and an active worker in the Epworth League and woman's Missionary Society, in all of which her efforts were highly appreciated. Last Sabbath a memorial service was held in the Sunday school, and the pastor, Rev. W. H. Hicks, paid a worthy tribute to the departed sister at the morning service. 'She rests from her labors, and her works do follow her. To the sorrowing, bereaved husband, also a well-known, devout member of the Methodist Church, and consistent Christian worker, the sympathy of the entire community is assured, and the prayers of God's people will be offered that he may have sustaining grace in his sore affliction. We commend him to our all-loving Father, who is 'too wise to err and too good to be unkind,' for 'behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face. R. S. M.	1901 From the Hough Scrapbooks

Symington, Julia (nee Morden)	OBITUARY – It is our painful duty to record the death of Mrs. Thomas Symington one of our most influential women, who departed this life March 18^th, 1913. The call was indeed very sudden. On Thursday she attended a social evening given by her class and delivered an address on “David Livingston” and was the soul of the gathering. Saturday she put her Bible lesson on the tablet in her class room, and on Tuesday, early in the morning, she breathed her spirit into her Redeemer’s hands. The immense congregation that filled the spacious church was a token of the esteem and tenderness in which this useful and gifted woman was held by the citizens of Napanee and surrounding country. She was well known in these Bay counties, having frequently, in various places, given addresses on literary and religious subjects. Mrs. Symington (nee Julia Morden) was descended from United Empire Loyalist ancestors, of which she was justly proud. She travelled extensively, and we remember a pathetic return journey alone, bringing the remains of a beloved brother, A. L. Morden, K. C., her travelling companion, who died during a visit in Europe. Mrs. Symington was a woman of rare gifts and graces. Nature was lavish in its bestowment upon her. She was educated in Belleville and Toronto, where she showed herself a brilliant student. For many years, Mrs. Symington lived in Napanee, and was an active member of Grace Methodist Church. She was identified with all the work of that church. In her church relations her faith was strong, her graces active, her conduct exemplary. She was a tender and sympathizing friend, so that her character as a Christian appeared always with peculiar advantage. The special work to which she directed her energies was teaching her Bible Class. For 37 years she faithfully followed this path of duty. Early in life she saw this pathway stretch out before her and she faithfully followed it. When merely a young girl her Bible and her class were her delight. The Bible Class was organized and joined the International Sunday School Association Adult Department, according to International standard, December 4^th 1907, and at her death its actual attendance was 60 and 70. Her wide range of reading and extensive travels in Bible lands made her teaching vivid and interesting. There was a charm in her manner of instruction that held her pupils year after year. She was no hurried traveller, but leisurely, with the eye of a trained observer, she noted everything worthy of note for her class. This Bible Class was her life, for this she lived. It seems remarkable at the end of 37 years of continuous teaching that at her death it numbered 77 members. She indulged in no sensational teachings to keep her people. The Bible was her text book, the old doctrines her theme. What hundreds of people this woman has helped; what hundreds of young men she prepared for business and the struggle of life; what a useful life; it was fully consecrated to this end. “Duty my law shall be, and I’ll live and do for me.” A touching memorial service was held by the class in their parlor last Sunday in memory of their beloved teacher. In private life she was exact and regular in her devotion, grateful for kindness received and willing to impart assistance where it could relieve. The pastor said in his address at the funeral, “To praise the extent of her knowledge, the acuteness of her mind, her accuracy of judgement, or the eloquence of her expression is unnecessary, but we should remember her that we might imitate her virtues and have our faith stimulated and be led to tread the path of duty and never weary.” Grace Church will miss one so faithful in all its interests, the “Daughters of the Empire” one of the most accomplished of its sisterhood and the community at large this elect lady who was so willing to lend assistance to every good cause. The church was draped in her honor. The bible Class and Daughters of the Empire occupied seats reserved for them. The impressive services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.P. Wilson, B.A., assisted by Rev. A.L. Howard, M.A. of the Presbyterian Church. The sympathy of our town goes out to our esteemed townsman, Mr. Thomas Symington, in his great sorrow.	1913 From the Watson Scrapbooks
