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

Sexsmith, Thomas	FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR ROBLIN - THOMAS SEXSMITH, A FARMER, MEETS A HORRIBLE DEATH WHILE PLOUGHING IN THE FIELD Perhaps one of the most painful and distressing accidents that has happened in these counties in many years occurred about one mile north west of Roblin, on Thursday afternoon of last week, resulting in the death of a well-known resident of Richmond township, in the person of Mr. Thomas Sexsmith. 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.

Sills, Belle	SWEPT DOWN MOON CHUTE. - Two Ladies From Toronto Meet Death by Drowning at Bala. 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 George, Rev.	Obituary - For the Christian Advocate “So long as there is mercy in a God, hope is the privilege of creatures, And so soon as there is penitence in creatures, that hope is exalted into duty.” “O Death what art thou, Antique of Nature’s marvels, The seed and dormant chrysalis bursting into energy and glory! 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, singed Joseph Sawyer, President. From that date he was honored and useful as a licened 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 singed 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 ministrrtions 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	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.	ca 1907 Newspaper Clipping
Sills, Morris	HAYBURN - We regret to announce the death of an old and highly respected resident in the person of Morris Sills, who died of pneumonia at his late home on Saturday, April 21^st , 1906. 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.	1906 From the Watson Scrapbooks

Sinclair, John	JOHN SINCLAIR - Few of our ministers are alive to day 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.

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 jeweller 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.	1917 From the Watson Scrapbooks, Scrapbook Clipping

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 fro 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

SMITH PASSED VERY SUDDENLY ON SATURDAY MORNING – NAPANEE – DEC. 2 - The sudden death of Mrs. E. P.. Smith, which occurred at her home on West Street early Saturday morning, came as a great shock to Mr. Smith, relatives and many friends. Mrs. Smith was in her apparent good health and on the evening previous with her husband, enjoyed dominoes at their home. On Saturday morning, Mr. Smith, after dressing went downstairs to attend to the fire, which was about 7 o’clock. While at his work he heard Mrs. Smith call him and going immediately to the bedroom found his wife lying on the floor. She passed away soon after. The cause of death was heart failure. In the spring their son Fred was taken with an attack of the flu and not gaining to any extent left a few weeks ago for the sanitarium at Gravenhurst where he is at present a patient, and it is thought that Mrs. Smith, who was devoted to the son, had worried a great deal. The deceased, who was in her 77^th year, was before her marriage, Miss Mary Ida Fretts, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William R. Fretts. 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. Twelve years ago, deciding to retire and enjoy a well-earned rest they came to Napanee and purchased a home on West Street. The son continued with the work of the farm until his illness. Mrs. Smith was a member of Grace United Church. Very highly respected by her many friends she will be greatly missed particularly in the home by her life partner. Besides her husband and one son she leaves to mourn her loss, two brothers, W. G. Fretts, and E. B. Fretts, and three sisters, Mrs. Milling and Mrs. Card of Napanee, and Mrs. Anderson of Detroit.	1935 Newspaper Clipping

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 thing 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

She was also attended by the relatives of her deceased husband. The remains were immediately removed to the residence of Capt. W. D.

Mrs. Sughrue, was in her younger days, when a resident of Howe Island, well known among the Roman Catholic clergy for her liberality and generosity, as it always fell to her lot to throw open her house to the entertaining of the religious that visited the island, and she and her husband, did all with willing hearts. She was a whole-souled woman; no person in want applied to her in vain. She was a member of a large family, at one time well known in Kingston, her name being Catharine Welch. Her funeral took place on Sunday, to St. Philomen’s church on Howe Island, where a solem libera was chanted for the dead. The body was then taken to the vault.

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. The funeral service was held in Selby United Church, conducted by her Pastor, Rev. Mr. Olliver, of Roblin. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to Camden V. cemetery, where she was laid to rest, to wait the great resurrection morn.

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
