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

Sills, Marshall Newton	At North Fredericksburgh, on Thursday, March 14th, Marshall Newton Sills, aged 53 years and 5 months. The funeral service will be held in Hay Bay Methodist church on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. 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. His ashes will rest in God’s acre, Napanee East until the trumpet’s call shall wake the dead.	Mar 15 1907 Napanee Beaver 1907 Newspaper Clipping
