Sagar - At North Fredericksburgh, Monday,
3d June, Emma J., beloved wife of Frank Sagar, aged 38 years. Our little community was shocked on Monday,
3d June, to hear of the death of Mrs. Frank Sagar. Deceased had been in poor
health for some time with lung trouble. Everything that kind and loving hands
could do to relieve the poor sufferer was done, but the peaceful end came on
Monday afternoon. She was highly respected by all, having lived in this
neighborhood all her life time, she being the daughter of Mr. Curl, who lives
but a short distance from her home. She leaves a sorrowing husband and little
daughter, Gladys, of three years, besides a mother, father, two sisters and
two brothers, namely Mrs. Lillian Hambly, Miss Bertha, Mr. Arthur and Mr.
Willett; Mrs. Hambly having come from Toronto hospital to attend the funeral.
To the sorrowing ones will be extended our most heartfelt sympathy in their
hour of trouble. The funeral service was conducted at the White church,
Morven, on Wednesday afternoon, by the Rev. Mr. Horton. Many friends gathered
to pay their last respects to a dear friend, whom they respected so highly. Once more farewell, dear darling Emma For we on earth must dwell; While songs of joy our lips employ, One long, last farewell. |

Sagar - At North Fredericksburgh, on
Wednesday, July 4th, 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.

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

Petrolia. For five years Mr. Salisbury was engaged in the oil fields at
Petrolia which were then just opening up. But at the end of that time he
moved to Strathroy where he became the engineer of the electric works in that
town. Failing health made it necessary to leave engineering and return to the
farm, and for a number of years he owned and worked a farm near Watford, Ont.
Eight years ago he removed to Napanee and remained here until the time of his
death. There are left to survive him, his widow,

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, 2nd 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.

Extract of a Letter, dated Ernest Town,
Wednesday morning, 2 o’clock, Feb. 17th, 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. |

Schermerhorn, Amos |
OBITUARY - Amos Schermerhorn - The subject of this notice was born on the
15th of January, 1797, at the family residence in the 1st
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 3rd 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 19th 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. |

Schermerhorn. He was one of a large
family of which only two survive him; a brother, Miles, in Winnipeg, and a
sister, Mrs. Almira Winter, in Regina.
For many years he followed the vocation of farming and retired to
Roblin, 13 years ago. For the past nine
months, he was in failing health and his death, which occurred on Sunday,
October 29th, was not unexpected. He is survived by his wife, formerly Naomi
Thompson, and one son, Rev. W. R. Schermerhorn of Bloomfield. One daughter, Violet, died 15 years ago on
the same day of the month as her father. |

year. The deceased had been ill for several
months, and although at times his sufferings were great, he bore them bravely

their power to relieve him of his sufferings until he was called to the Great
Beyond. The late Mr. Scott was a man widely known

sport, especially baseball, and during his young manhood he was considered an

Western Canada, he had resided in the neighbourhood all his life. Those left to mourn a kind and loving
husband and father are his sorrowing widow formerly Miss Edna Robinson, one
son, Bert, and five daughters, Helen, Mary, Dorothy, Verna and Leah, all at
home. He is also survived by two

Dec. 5th, was attended by a large
concourse of friends and neighbours who gathered to pay their last respects
to one who by his neighbourly acts had endeared himself to them. The service was conducted by his Pastor,

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. |

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. |

made him generally beloved and his passing will be regretted by many people.
He was as honest as could be found among men, always devoted and
self-sacrificing for his family, and exceptionally successful in all his
undertakings. He leaves to mourn his loss, his sorrowing
widow, who, before their marriage in 1898, was Olive May Fitchett. His two
daughters, Ola, now Mrs. Harold Dillenbeck, Big Creek, and Iva, now Mrs.

Saviour." The pall-bearers were his neighbours,

Self, Cordelia (nee
Treverton) |
MRS. CORDELIA SELF - Was born in the town
of Bodmin, Cornwall, England, January 15th, 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 27th, 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 16th,
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
summons coming so unexpectedly, the grief stricken relatives find it harder
to bear; but “the
Lord ordereth all things well.” The
funeral took place on Sunday, 18th inst., when numerous friends
from far and near paid their last respects to her mortal remains. The Rev. Messrs. Courtice and Harris
officiated at the services held at her son’s residence and Mount Pleasant
Cemetery. |

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 28th 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,

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. |

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

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. 30th, 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. |

Sad Case of Drowning The Express records the untimely end of Mr.
William Sharp, of Fredericksburgh, and a nephew, a boy of about eight years
of age, by drowning in Hay Bay on Friday evening last. Mr. Sharp had, during
the day, been working with a son on his farm in North Fredericksburgh, and
towards evening started for his home south of the Bay, in company with his
little nephew, a son of C. Sharp, of Violet. They were not seen alive after

OBITUARIES - WILLIAM THOMAS SHAVER - Napanee lost one of its oldest and highly
respected citizens in the death of William T. Shaver, on Wednesday, April 24,
1963, at the Kingston General Hospital. In his 88th year, Mr. Shaver had
been blessed with excellent health all his life which, he always claimed, was
due to “hard work, and good living habits.” Mr. Shaver was born in Winchester, Ont., on
August 3, 1875, the eldest son of the late James Rodney and Louisa T.
Shaver. The family moved to Selby when
Mr. Shaver was a young boy and, as a young man, he settled in Napanee where,
except for two years in Bassano, Alberta, and two years in Peterborough, he
spent his whole life. A carpenter and
decorator by trade, he was employed for several
years by the Gibbard Furniture Company prior to going into business for
himself in 1931, retiring in 1947. Mr. Shaver had resided at 181 Dundas St.
for 41 years. He was a member of
Trinity United Church and of Union Lodge No. 9, and had served as chairman of
the property committee in both cases.
Until his retirement he was also a member of the Napanee Rotary Club,
Oddfellows Lodge No. 86, and the Riverside Cemetery Board. His main hobby was reading and he
maintained a keen and up-to-date interest in local and world affairs all his
life. He was predeceased by his first wife,
Isabella Gentle, in 1949, and by a brother Wilford, and a sister, Mrs. Ralph
Ham (Louisa). He is survived by his
widow, the former Edna VanAlstyne (Taylor), and a brother, Kenneth, of
Mission City, BC., and a sister, Mrs. Roy Smith (Bertha), of Bassano, Alta. The body rested at the Tierney Funeral
Home. A Masonic service was held on
Thursday evening. Private service was
held Friday morning, April 26 at 11 o’clock a.m., Rev. W. K. Pace
officiating. Pall-bearers were Clifford Walker, Dorland
Perry, Russell VanAlstyne, Glenn C. Herrington, Milton Martin, and Gordon

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. |

there died at his home in the Township of North Fredericksburgh, Abram Dafoe Sills,
at the advanced age of 82 years and 11 days, having been born in the Township
of South Fredericksburgh Nov. 18th, 1831. 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. 2nd 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. |

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. |
