Templeton,
Janet |
JANET TEMPLETON – Died, at Napanee, on Saturday morning,
11th February, Janet Templeton, relict of the late Wm. Templeton,
age 72 years. The deceased lady was
one of the oldest residents of the town, having lived here nearly half a
century. She was born near Perth in
the county of Lanark of an old Scotch family. Her father, James McIlquham, came from Scotland to Canada about
1816 and settled near Perth, then but a hamlet in the forest. Here he purchased land and made a home on
the banks of the Mississippi, where the deceased was born and spent her early
years. She was married to Wm.
Templeton in 1844, and immediately removed to Napanee, where her husband had
previously commenced business as a
tanner. The town then consisted chiefly
of what is now known as Clarksville, little besides the Cartwright Grist Mill
being within the town as it now exists.
Her husband died in 1852, leaving the young wife with three children
surviving. She had many trials and
struggles through the next few years, but never lost courage or
patience. Early in life she became a
member of the Presbyterian church to which all her family belong, and
continued through her whole life an active worker in the cause of Christ,. Her life was indeed most pure and blameless
and affords a bright example of Christian virtue. Always charitable, kind and considerate for others, her counsel
was constantly sought in church matters, and her loss will be much felt by
her former associates. Her illness
dates [illegible line] her
recovery until Wednesday of last week when she was taken suddenly worse, and
quietly passed away on Saturday morning, respected by all who knew her, and
beloved by all who enjoyed her friendship.
Only two children survive her, W. Templeton, the respected publisher
of our contemporary the “Beaver, and Mrs. D. H. Preston, another son, James,
having predeceased her some twenty years.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. McEachren, pastor of
the Presbyterian church and many of the large number present were moved to
tears by his touching references to the many virtues of the deceased. The Ladies’ Aid of the Presbyterian Church
purchased a very handsome wreath in Kingston as a floral tribute. |

Templeton, William |
It is with feelings of regret and a deep sense of loss
that we are called upon to chronicle the death of Mr. Wm. Templeton, late
editor and proprietor of this paper, which occurred on Tuesday morning, 3d
March, after a brief illness. Three
weeks ago today deceased, who was not feeling as well as usual, left the
office and went home. The first week
of his illness he seemed to improve at times and no alarming symptoms
developed until the following week, when he sank rapidly and passed
peacefully away to his reward, after having spent a very successful and
useful life. The best of medical
skill was obtained, doctors from Montreal and Kingston being in attendance
with the local profession, and all that loving hands and hearts could do was
of no avail Mr. Templeton was born in
Napanee on the 27th November, 1848, and with the exception of a
few years, has spent his whole life in our midst. When about seventeen years
of age he became an apprentice to the printing art, shortly after entering
The Napanee Express as journeyman.
Afterwards he spent a term in offices in Montreal, Toronto and New
York, where he completed his course at the business and was satisfied to
return to his boyhood home. In
partnership with Rm. Edw. Stevenson, he purchased The Beaver. At a later date Mr. Geo. M. Beeman and Mr.
W.C. Scott were associated with him in the office. In 1892, Mr. Templeton purchased the plant and has conducted it
ever since. So successful has his business career been that The Beaver is a welcome
weekly visitor into almost every home in the town and county, and is
recognized as one of the foremost journals of its class, all due to his
progressive spirit and business ability. Deceased was closely identified with
the general social interests of the community. He was a member of the Royal Arch Masons, A.O.U.W., I.O.O.F.,
about twenty years has been United States Consul at Napanee. For a number of years he was also a valued
member of the Board of Education. His death spells a distinct loss for the
whole community, especially for the Presbyterian church, of which he had long
been a devoted member. He was an
Elder of the church, and Clerk of the Session. Twenty-nine years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Addie
Perry, who, together with five children are left to mourn the loss of a kind
and loving husband and father. The children are: Wm. A. and Janet, at home;
Mrs. J. G. VanEvery, Owen Sound;
Dr. Chas P. Templeton and Mrs. J. M. McIntosh, Brandon, Man., who were
all with him at the last. Mrs. D. H.
Preston, a sister, also survives him.
A shadow of gloom was cast over the whole town. His brother curlers closed the rink all
week, and on Thursday afternoon the schools were all closed. Floral wreaths, bouquets and flowers in
profusion covered the casket and room.
The funeral at the home on Thursday afternoon was attended by a large
concourse of friends and acquaintances from near and far, showing the respect
and esteem in which he was held by all.
The service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. R. Conn, assisted by
Rev. W. H. Emsley, after which the beautiful burial service of the masons,
who had charge of the funeral, was read at the vault. His smiling greeting will be greatly
missed, not only in the home, but at the office and on the street. His friends were legion, ad expressions of
sorrow an regret are heard on every hand.
The bearers were Messrs. J. L. Boyes, W. H. Boyle, J. W. Robinson, J.
J. Flach, F. F. Miller, and W. T. Gibbard. |

Thibault, Angus |
THIBAULT – In Picton, Sunday, Sept 22 1918, Angus
Thibault, aged 40 years. ANGUS THIBAULT – The news of the death of Angus Thibault
came as a great shock to his many friends in Picton when they learned of his
demise early on Sunday morning last.
Very few knew of his illness, which was only of some three days
duration. He was in attendance at the
county fair, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with his exhibit of Maxwell and
Studebaker cars. On Thursday
afternoon he left the fair grounds complaining of feeling ill but his
sickness was not considered serious until shortly before his death. During Saturday night he rapidly grew
worse and expired about seven o’clock Sunday morning, aged 40 years. Angus Thibault will be greatly
missed. For some years past he has
conducted the business of auctioneer and in this way has become widely known
all over the county of Prince Edward. He has also conducted many sales in
Adolphustown and vicinity. As an
auctioneer he was not only popular, but he also had the respect and
confidence of the public generally.
He had a well deserved reputation for fair dealing and his genial
friendly manner made him friends everywhere.
For the last two or three years he had added the agency of the Maxwell
motor cars to his business and only recently had also taken the local
Studebaker agency. At the time of his
death Mr. Thibault was Deputy Reeve of the Town of Picton. This was his second term in this
position. He had previously held the
position of councillor in the town and was also some years ago a member of
the Municipal Council of the township of Hallowell. The deceased was an only son of Mr. Ed. Thibault of Picton, and
a nephew of Messrs. William Thibault of Picton and George of Athol. His wife who survives him was a Miss Head.
The funeral service was held at his late residence, Agnes St., Tuesday
afternoon, when many of his friends and acquaintances assembled to do honor
to his memory. The Maxwell motor Co.
of Windsor, Ont. Was represented at the funeral by Mr. F. T. Hodgins, of
Toronto. The beautiful floral design
Gates Afar, was sent by the Maxwell Co.
The many other floral offerings gave eloquent testimony to the high
regard in which he was held and the sympathy felt toward his surviving
relatives. Rev. Alfred Brown
conducted the service. The pall
bearers were Warden Mallory, Mayor Colliver, councillors R.H. Calnan, Albert
Powers, M.R. Allison and D.R. Ellsworth.
Interment took place at Cherry Valley Cemetery under the auspices of
the I.O.O.F. of which deceased was a member. |

The following particulars
relative to a late transaction have been related to us on such authority that
we do not hesitate in making them public;
at the same time we express our astonishment that such a transaction
should have been kept so long in the dark. Shortly before the April Sessions,
the body of a child was found in the Napanee River near its mouth. An inquest was held, and after the
examination of Dr. Allen of Napanee, and other witnesses, the Jury returned a
verdict of “wilful murder against some person or persons unknown.” The same afternoon after interring the
corpse, the Coroner and part of the Jury returned to the village of Napanee,
and some whispers being current, that a shoemaker’s wife of the name of
Thomson had been unknown to her husband (to whom she had been married but
three weeks,) delivered of an infant, which infant was spirited away, some
enquiries were made which led to the examination of a Dr. Wallen (not Dr.
Allen) before the Coroner and another magistrate, and it came out, the Dr.
Wallen had attended the woman in question, and had delivered her of a dead
child, which he had put under the ice in the river. Some other witnesses were examined, but no farther proceedings
taken. The singularity attending this
affair is, that the woman should have been delivered of a child unknown to
her husband, and that the medical attendant should have taken upon himself
the task of grave-digger. |

away at the Lenadco Home fot the Aged on Sept. 22, 1996. Mr. Tierney was born July 23,
1908 at Gosport, Ont. (north Adolphustown).
He was the only son of the late Thomas Tierney and Achsah Louise
Ogden. In March of 1917, the Tierney
family moved from their farm on the Bay of Quinte to Bridge Street in
Napanee. Mr. Tierney attended school in
Napanee and he graduated from Ontario Business College in Belleville. From 1926 to 1938, he worked for
Belleville Creamery, Francis Bakery, as manager of Eaton’s Hardware in
Napanee, and assisted the firm of Masters & Tierney until 1938 when he
joined the business, which at that time was located at the corner of Centre
and Mill Streets. In 1940, the business moved to
its present location at 123 Dundas St. W.
Mr. Tierney retired in November 1978, but was still active with the
firm of Wannamaker-Tierney until poor health forced his retirement four years
ago. He was a member of St. Mary
Magdalene Church in Napanee from 1917, until his death. He sang in the choir, was a Sunday School
Teacher and rector’s warden for 10 years. Mr. Tierney was a member of the

Lodge. He was a member of the
Scottish Rite in Kingston and became a member of the Shrine, Ramases Temple

until the end of the Second World War, but due to the death of his father,
was not engaged in active service overseas. Mr. Tierney was very active in

Tindall, Jamima |
JAMIMA TINDALL - The subject of this short memoir
was the second daughter of Benjamin and Mary Jane Tindall. She commenced her earthly pilgrimage in
the township of Grey, county of Huron, Ontario, on the 6th day of
January, 1866. Very early in life she entered
the Sabbath school, and never left it until compelled to by sickness, which
ended in death. To be found in the
class gave her much pleasure. And as
soon as it was thought prudent she was raised to the position of teacher - a
position she filled with credit to herself, advantage to her class, and
satisfaction to all concerned. The
manner in which she attended to her work, the interest she displayed and her
success gave me and others much pleasure.
She was led to accept Christ as
her Saviour when she was ten years of age;
and when she gave her heart to God she gave herself to the
Church. And from that day to the day that she joined the
blood-washed company and her dear father before the throne, she was a
consistent member of the Methodist Church.
I never saw a thing heard a word, or knew an action not in harmony
with Bible truth. She was a good,
faithful, successful missionary collector.
But her work is done (and well done) the journey of life is ended and
she has entered into rest. Her death took place August 12th,
1886, and on the 14th, her remains were laid to rest near her
father. On Sabbath afternoon the
writer preached to a very large congregation from Jer. xv. 9 “She hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet
day.” Some people do their work soon,
and well, and early go to rest. May
the reader and writer meet her on the ever green shore. RICHARD PAUL |

Tobey, Almon C. |
CROSSED THE DARK RIVER - Picton Gazette – The death of Mr. Almon C.
Tobey occurred at the family residence, west Main street, at an early hour on
Monday morning, 10th June.
The evening previous he was out walking about the house with his
daughter, in his apparent usual health, when he was suddenly taken with a
fainting spell, followed by convulsive vomiting, which ended his life about
one o’clock. About two years ago he
had a severe stroke from which he never recovered, gradually growing worse
until death. He was a great sufferer, but bore it patiently to
the end. The deceased came to Picton
from Napanee about twenty odd years ago, engaging in the jewellery business,
and was one of our most affable and successful business men. He was twice married – his first wife
being Miss Minnie Haight, the second Miss Ola Hurlburt. Two children by his first wife – Raymond
and Zeita – survive him to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father. Deceased was 51 years of age. The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. The I.O Foresters, of which deceased was a member,
attended in a body. |

Townley, Elizabeth (nee
Ruttan) |
THE LATE MRS. TOWNLEY - The mortal remains of this
deeply respected lady, late wife of the Rev. Adam Townley, D.D., Canon of
Huron Cathedral, and Incumbent of St. James Church in this town, who departed
this life, on Monday evening, 3rd April, surrounded by her
husband, her Son and his Wife and several other friends - were deposited
(until the Church of England Cemetery is secured and prepared) close by the
Chancel of St. James’ Church, on the Thursday following. The coffin, which was covered
with purple velveteen, had a large floriated oak Cross fastened on the lid,
and with its beautiful Cross and Wreath of flowers also, which were all put
in the grave, spoke of those bright hopes which were more than comforting to
the sorrows of the survivors. The
bearers were Messrs. Geo. Stanton, J. A. Penton, Thos. Ryall, F. H. Haycock,
Thos Clark and W. C. Jones. The
mourners were - the whole Parish! - but especially her bereaved Husband, her
Son, the Rev. C. E. Thomson, two of her Grandsons; her brother in law, Mr. A.
B. Townley, and her nephew, Mr. H. C. Thomson; Dean Boomer, Archdeacon Marsh,
Canon Nelles, Revds W. S. Darling, Rural Dean Holland, E. E. Newman and A.
Anthony, besides which a long list of other friends, also attended. The body was carried by the bearers
from the house to the Chancel of the Church, which with the Clergyman’s pew,
&c., was deeply draped in black - and thence to the Grave close
adjoining. The service was
effectively read by the Revds Dean Boomer, H. Holland, and W. S. Darling -
the last of whom also delivered a touching address, as being the oldest
clerical friend of the deceased, who was present. The Choir also rendered their affectionate aid. It is needless to say that the Church was
very full, alike from strong regard to Mrs. Townley and genuine sympathy with
her sorrowing husband. Indeed we are
pleased, though not surprised, to learn that sympathy, both at home, and by
letter, has been overflowingly expressed with the lonely grief of our, no
longer young, but highly respected Rector;
very many old friends sending their deep expressions of regret at
being unable to be present, from a mistake regarding the time and place of
burial, or from previous engagements. Among them were the Bishops of Huron,
N---- and Toronto, and a letter from Mr. -----, the Bishop of Algoma being
------. In our deceased friend we lose
another of those ancient Canadian landmarks that link the present with the
past. Mrs. Elizabeth Townley was the only daughter of the late Wm. Ruttan,
Esq., of the Bay of Quinte, and officer in the British Army of the United
States during the Revolutionary War, who, at its close, came with his young
wife, his elder brother, Captain Ruttan, and other United Empire Loyalists to
Canada, settling at once on the Bay of Quinte, where he and his wife died in
ripe old age. Their daughter, our
late deceased friend, was born October 27th, 1800. She was married at a very early age to
Hugh C. Thomson, Esq., of Kingston, Member of the Provincial Parliament, for
Frontenac, the father of her remaining son, the Rev. C. E. Thomson, M.A.,
Rector of Elora, diocese of Niagara, and Rural Dean. Mrs. Thomson was left a widow in the prime
of life, and was married to her now sorrowing husband, the Rev. Dr. Townley,
the 20th of April, 1837. For energy of character, strong
conscientiousness and an earnest effort to walk godly in Christ Jesus, Mrs.
Townley, was, we know, highly distinguished.
Take her moral, mental and Christian characteristics all in all, and
we really think that we are more than commonly justified in saying: “We ne’er shall look upon her
like again.” And, notwithstanding
that she was spared to so ripe and age (upwards of 75 years) and departed so
calmly and with such bright prospects beyond, yet we cannot withhold our sincere
sympathies from her bereaved Husband and Son, and other deeply attached
friends, in this their irreparable loss. |

OBITUARY – Samuel Dorland
Trumpour – Early Sunday morning last, All Saints’ Day, Samuel Dorland
Trumpour, well known to the citizens of Napanee, was most peacefully called
from his residence in Adolphustown to enter the fold of the church at
rest. The funeral was held the
following Tuesday at St. Alban’s Church, the Rector, Rev. W. Roberts, Mus.
Doc., conducting the service. The
deceased was born in Adolphustown being a descendant of the old Trumpour and
Dorland families, which originally of Dutch extraction, lived in New York
State until after the Revolutionary War, and then came to Canada among the
pioneer U.E. Loyalists. Mr. Trumpour
in earlier life lived in Prince Edward County, and was for fifteen years a
resident of Napanee; the remainder of
his life was spent in Adolphustown.
He was a lifelong supporter of the conservative party, and is among a
very few who can lay claim to the distinction of having gone to school with
Sir John A Macdonald. In religion the
deceased worshipped in the old Quaker meeting house, which still stands on
the shores of Hay Bay, but on the breaking up of the Quakers as a distinct sect,
he transferred his allegiance to the Church of England. Mr. Trumpour was of a retiring
disposition; he never sought public
office or publicity in any way.
Industry was the keynote of his character, and by this means he
amassed considerable property. He
served in the Fenian Raids in 1866 and was among those of the surviving
veterans who received medals in recognitions of their services. Until the last few years he had enjoyed
the best of health, having seldom suffered a day of illness. In 1870, he married a daughter of the late
Joseph Losee, who still survives him.
He also leaves three children, Mrs. W. S. Wannamaker, of
Ameliasburgh; Herbert a prosperous
and progressive farmer in Adolphustown, and Harry, studying for the ministry
at Wycliffe College, Toronto, and an honor graduate of the University of
Toronto. |

Trumpour, Sarah (nee
Bowers) |
[*NOTE - In original, spelling
is “Trumpom”] MRS. SARAH TRUMPOUR - Mrs. Sarah Trumpour, whose maiden name was
Bowers, was born in the township of Sophiasburg, Prince Edward county, Ont.,
in the year 1817. She was converted
to God in early life, and united with the Wesleyan Church, her after
Christian life affording undoubted evidence of the genuine change grace had
wrought in her. In after years, in
her married life she was happy, for her husband was a partner of the same
like precious faith. Settling in the township of Hillier, she became a
member of the Methodist Society at Wellington. She held correct views of the higher Christian life and being
an ardent lover of ‘scriptural holiness,’ as taught by the Methodist church,
she always gave unwavering testimony of the fact, in her own experience, that
the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin. This grace made her active in Christian service, exemplary in
Christian life and character, and in ripeness and maturity of Christian experience to be called in at
true sense, “a mother in Israel.”
Towards the close of life a paralytic stroke partially disabled her
for work, although recovering therefrom to a certain extent yet it left a
sense of feebleness. For two or three
years prior to her death she resided with her youngest son in Bloomfield, and
united with Methodist Society in that place.
For a time during the past winter she experienced a sense of more than
ordinary weakness, which proved to be the token of approaching
dissolution. On the morning of Feb. 8th,
1886, while reclining to seek repose, and saying to the family as her last
utterance and dying testimony, “I am going to sleep with Jesus,” she peacefully fell asleep in Christ, in
the 69th year of her age.
Her happy spirit rests forever with the lord. Her remains were interred in the burying
ground at Wellington by the side of her husband. May the family follow their beloved Christian parents, and
fulfil all their promises to meet them in that heavenly home beyond. [signed] W. Jolliffe |

Tupper, Rev.
Reuben E. |
REV. REUBEN E. TUPPER - Rev. Reuben E. Tupper was born in the county of Leeds, on
the 12th of December, 1809.
When about nine years of age he yielded to the Spirit’s pleading and
was led to trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. Much of the cheerful Christian experience and loving fidelity
of his later years may be traced to his early acceptance of Christ as his
Saviour and consecration to his service.
In 1836, in response to the Master’s call, he engaged in
the work of the Christian ministry, but after one year of service he was
compelled, on account of ill health to locate for three years. Returning to the work, after the usual
probationary term he was received into full connexion and ordained at the
Conference of 1843. Never possessing
a vigorous constitution, he was obliged in 1855 to superannuate, in which
relation he remained for seven years. Returning to the work in 1862, he spent about five years
in faithful circuit service, followed by four or five years in charge of
Mount Elgin Industrial School. He
again superannuated in 1871. Three
years more of rest, one of service at Mount Brydges, eleven of superannuation
at London, and Bro. Tupper exchanged a changeful for the changeless
life. On Sunday, March 7th,
after a brief illness, he entered the rest that remaineth. As a man Bro. Tupper was respected and beloved. His quiet and often quaint demeanor, his
kindly spirit and benevolent nature, won for him not only a very desirable
place in private friendship, but also a large share of public esteem. As a Christian he enjoyed a steady and constantly
increasing wealth of happy experience.
He had a strong love and deep reverence for the Word of God, and a
growing attachment to the people of God.
Their fellowship was his joy and delight. His zeal for the peace and prosperity of Zion was very
marked. Her services to him were
sweet and sacred. With great gladness
of soul he was often heard singing those beautiful lines: “Beyond my highest joy, I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.” As a minister, Brother Tupper was called and chosen and
faithful. Though subject to much
physical infirmity, sufficient to dishearten many yet such were his love and
zeal for the work to which he was called, that he never hesitated regarding
the call of duty, but did his work cheerfully and to the best of his ability. On the 21st of February he attended church
service for the last time, saying at its close, “The Lord send thee help from
the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.” On the following Saturday he was taken ill, without any
expectation of recovery on his part.
The thought of speedy removal did not disturb his mind. His trust in Jesus was unshaken. He richly enjoyed the rest of faith, and
rejoiced in strong assurance and hope of the rest of heaven. After one week’s illness he passed away in the triumph of
Christian faith. He “was not, for God
took him.” R.J. TRELEAVEN |

Hugh Turner Killed – A very shocking accident occurred at
Martin and Sayers’ flouring mills, Glenora, on Tuesday morning. Hugh Turner was caught in a belt and whirled around a shaft to instant
death. Turner was working in the mill
on the ground floor and had been applying some belt dressing to a belt
running on a pulley on the main shaft, which is about shoulder high. It is supposed his hand went too near the
pulley and was drawn in. The
unfortunate man was whirled around the shaft at a terrific speed, one belt
breaking and winding his left arm tight to the pulley. He made one cry for help, but when Mr.
Martin, who was not far from him arrived, and stopped the machinery, all was
over. Turner was dead. The left arm was torn from the socket and
almost severed from the body, both feet were mashed to a pulp unrecognizable
as feet. There was no need of a
doctor. Coroner Whiteman went down
Wednesday morning and issued a burial certificate. The funeral took place (today) Thursday at 10 o’clock. T. Hugh Turner was a son of Mr. Thomas
Turner of Black Creek, formerly of Picton, he was twenty-three years old and
had been married twice. He got his
first wife in Lennox County and for his second wife he married a Shaw of
Picton, only about six weeks ago. He
was a hard working, industrious man and he and his wife were just preparing
to go keeping house at Glenora, where he expected to have steady employment. |

OBITUARY - At Deseronto, on Wednesday, 24th
March, 1915, at 8 p.m., at the age of 79 years, 7 months and 11 days, Mr.
Gordon D. G. Valleau fell asleep in Jesus.
Mr. Valleau was converted to God when a boy and had been a consistent
member of the Methodist Church up until his departure. During all those years he walked with God
closely. Bro. Valleau loved to serve
his Master. In 1859, he gave himself
up to the ministry and was a grand local preacher, and was an instrument in
God’s hands of bringing many souls to seek a higher and nobler life. He conducted a great many revivals at
Mount Pleasant and Selby. For the
past few years he had been unable to attend the church he dearly loved as
often as he would like, but he was always willing to lend a helping hand to
any who needed help and to give comforting and cheering words to any in
trouble. He was a man very highly
appreciated and respected by all who knew him; a good man in the church and a loving and affectionate husband
and father in the home. He leaves to
mourn his loss a loving wife and three sons, the two eldest residing at
Gananoque, and Gordon at home with his mother; also two brothers, William, of
Saskatchewan, and George W., of Selby.
One brother passed away on the 13th of March, 1915, at
California. Still we sorrow not as
those who have no hope, for his life and testimony is a benediction still and
his family shall surely call him blessed as they recall his simple faith and
trust in Christ. We commit his body
to the dearth in a sure and certain hope of a part in the first
resurrection. “Let me die the death
of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.” |

Valleau, Willet |
Mr. Willet Valleau - At Allisonville on the morning of April 25, 1924, there
passed away in the better land, Mr. Willet Valleau. He was one of Prince Edward county’s oldest citizens, and was
almost 90 years of age. He was born
in the Burr neighborhood, in Hillier, in September, 1834. He was the son of Peter and Martha Potter
Valleau, and the grandson of Cornelius and Ann Rowe Valleau, and the great
grandson of Lieut. Peter Valleau, who left New York city September 8, 1783,
and who landed on the shores of Adolphustown, June 16, 1784. On both sides of the family tree, all of
his great-grandparents were among that now famous band of United Empire
Loyalists whose names are immortalized in Canadian history. As time passed hoary years rested gently
on his trembling frame and playfully crowned his brow with roseate hue, like
the lingering rays of the setting sun.
But few of all those who begin life here in mortality’s vale succeed
in reaching so great an age. Rarely
do we find one whose career is measured off by four score years and ten. His wife, who was Miss Edith Snider,
daughter of George Snider, one of the old pioneers of Massassaga Point,
predeceased him about four years ago.
Since then he has oftimes been lonely, and with eyes bedimmed with
age, he has been standing, leaning on his staff like pious Jacob of old, and
looking across death’s narrow stream beyond the tide. Tired, weary, careworn, he stood peering
through the lattice, anxiously awaiting the summons - the echo of the harvest
call. Of a family of seven sons and
three daughters only one is left, Mrs. W. K. Burr of Lockport, Illinois. In politics Mr. Valleau was a Liberal; in religion, a Methodist. In the year 1860, during a revival meeting
at Crofton, conducted by the Rev. Hiram Williams of the M. E. Church, he and
his wife were converted. And for many
years he was a member of the official board, and a leading member of the
church. He was naturally kind
hearted, genial, gently and obliging.
His home was a home for he preachers, and they were always generously
entertained and received a most cordial welcome and Christian greeting. He was a remarkably kind husband, a good parent and an
obliging neighbor. He had a family of
two sons and two daughters. They are
all living and were in attendance at the funeral; Mr. Stanley E. Valleau of Toronto, Mrs. Robert Hazzard of Bloomfield, Mrs. Samuel Rankin of Salmon
Point, and Mr. Grant Valleau of Allisonville with whom Mr. Valleau resided at
the time of his death. The funeral
was held at the Burr church and was very largely attended. The gallery and aisles, as well as the
body of the church, were all occupied.
The Rev. Gardnier of the Melville circuit officiated. His theme was: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His
saints.” His address was appropriate
and was listened to with marked attention.
Mr. Densmore Ainsworth and son, of Wellington, were the funeral
directors. Interment was made in the
Burr cemetery. Truly, precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. The death last week of Mr. Willet Valleau, at the home of
his son, Mr. Grant Valleau, removes one of the oldest and most highly respected
residents of Hillier township. He was
a man of industry, honesty and integrity - a type of the sturdy, God-fearing
men, whose lives have enriched the rural communities. The deceased, who was ill but a few days,
was in his ninetieth year. He was a
member of the Methodist church.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Rankin and Mrs. Hazard of
Bloomfield, and two sons, Stanley of Toronto, and Grant on the
homestead. The funeral, which was
largely attended, was held on Sunday afternoon from his late residence to
Burr’s church, where Rev. G. W. Gardner spoke from the text, Psalm 116-15,
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” the choir, with Mrs. Hogle as accompanist,
contributed a beautiful selection.
Interment was made in Burr’s cemetery, the bearers being, Messrs.
Charles McFaul, Lewis McFaul, Bruce McFaul, Merritt McFaul, Spencer Huffman
and George Ferguson. |

Henry VanVlack - Henry VanVlack died at his residence Lake
Street, Picton, on Saturday, 29th October. Mr. VanVlack had been ailing with
rheumatism for the past three years.
He had been confined to his house about four weeks and Bright’s
Disease was the cause of death. He
was a patient and resigned sufferer.
He was born at Waupoos, the son of the late Elias VanVlack and Sarah
Johnson. He was aged 74 years. He was a prosperous farmer and fruit
grower, having on his Waupoos farm as good an orchard of its size as the
county boasts. Mr. VanVlack was held
in the highest esteem of a host of friends.
Some five years ago he retired from farming and moved to Picton. His widow, whose maiden name was Sarah
Hurlbut, and two daughters survive, besides a brother, George. The daughters are Mrs. Stanley Palen, of
Waupoos and Miss Lillian at home. The
funeral was held on Tuesday and was largely attended by Picton and Waupoos
friends. Rev. Mr. Seaborn, of
Milford, his former pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. V. H. Emory of
Picton. Interment in Glenwood

designs were laid on the casket by loving friends. |

VanVolkenburg, Sandy |
Attended Funeral – A considerable number from town and the
adjoining district attended the funeral of the late Sandy Van Volkenburg,
which was held from his late residence, west of Napanee, on Tuesday
afternoon. The home was filled with
sympathizing friends, as the deceased was well known both in Napanee and
Deseronto. The service was conducted
by Rev. R. T. Richards, of Grace Church, Napanee. The late Mr. VanVolkenburg was a resident of this town for many
years, and engaged in market gardening.
Retiring from active duties, he and Mrs. Van Volkenburg left for
Napanee, and the former erected a smart bungalow just outside the town limits
of the neighboring town. His illness
had not been of long duration. He was
held in the highest of respect by his many friends in Deseronto. |

Vine, John |
OBITUARY - THE LATE JOHN VINE - Death came with startling suddenness to one of Napanee’s
best known and highly respected residents in the person of Mr. John Vine, who
passed away very shortly after the midnight hour on Monday morning. Although Mr. Vine had not been in the best
of health for some time, he was around as usual, and on Sunday morning, after
partaking of a hearty breakfast, took very ill and all day Sunday his
condition was very serious, in fact so much so that word was sent to his
daughter, Mrs. Treleaven, in Toronto, to come to Napanee at once. Death was due to heart trouble, of which
he had been a sufferer for some time.
Mr. Vine was one of seven children, and he was the last surviving
member of the family. His parents
were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Vine, and he was born and always resided in
Napanee. He was 82 years of age and
was one of the oldest members of Argyll Lodge No. 212, l.O.O.F. He loved Oddfellowship, and until a few
years ago was a regular attendant at the lodge session. He was also a lifelong member of Trinity
Church. His passing came as a great
shock to his many friends in Napanee and district. Surviving are his widow, who before her marriage was Miss
Fairbairn, three sons, A. G. Vine and George Vine, of Winnipeg; John Vine, of Watertown and four
daughters, Mrs. W. B. Sills, and Mrs. Edwin Miller, Napanee; Mrs. Treleaven, of Toronto, and Miss Laura
Vine, Reg. N., of New York City. His
son, A. G. Vine, of Winnipeg, spent a few days last week in town with his
parents and had just recently returned to the west. |
