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. |

Thomson, Baby |
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. |

Tierney passed 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

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 |

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. |

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

[*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.

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.

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. |

ordained deacon in the Methodist Episcopal Church, shortly after his marriage
settled in South Fredericksburgh, on the farm which has since become the
Unger homestead. There was born on
Sept. 13th, 1846, a son, who was baptized John Wesley. He had four brothers and three
sisters. As a young man he, having the
ministry in view, studied for some time in Albert College. On account of ill health he had to abandon
that calling. He was a life long member
of Grace Methodist Church, of which church he was one of the oldest trustees
and remained an official until his death.
His mind was well stored with the Holy Scriptures, and many will not
soon forget his recitations of long passages in the Quarterly Fellowship
meetings. During the past year Time’s grim reaper has
been very active in the Unger family.
Only about a year ago Nathan was called to go, about a month ago,
Nelson followed, and on Feb. 11th, John was summoned to meet his
two brothers on the other shore. His
wife and two daughters, Ethel and
Lilly, predeceased him many years.
He leaves to mourn his loss three sons, Schuyler in the West, Edison

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. |

VanLuven, Cornelius |
The Late Cornelius Van Luven Esq. We regret to have to announce the death of
Cornelius Van Luven, Esq., which took place on Dec. 27th. He passed quietly away after a short
illness, at the family homestead, Murvale.
He was born in the year 1800, and his age at the time of his death was
82 years and a few months. He was one
of a long-lived family. One brother
died on Thanksgiving day, aged 85 years;
another brother lives at Battersea, aged 88 years; there are also two
aged sisters living. The family came
from near Albany, N.Y. His grandfather
was one of the first settlers near Bath in the township of Ernesttown, long
before the Revolutionary war.
Cornelius, when a young man, was in the employ of John G. Cartwright,
Esq., by whom he was much respected and trusted. Mr. Cartwright was desirous that Young Van
Luven should take charge of his outside business which was very large, but he
was more inclined to be independent and at the age of 28 years he purchased
from J. S. Cartwright, Esq., the farm and homestead where he had resided for
over 54 years. In 1824 he married
Sarah Amey, a descendant of an U.E. Loyalist family that came from Little
Falls, N.Y., at the time of the Revolutionary war. Her grandfather and a neighbor went one day
to the woods to chop, but not returning search was made and their bodies were
found mutilated and scalped by Indians.
The family then sought refuge in Canada under the British flag. Mrs. VanLuven is 78 years of age and feels
keenly the separation from her husband.
They had a family of ten children - one dead and nine living, seven of
whom were boys and two girls, all married and occupying respectable
positions. They are: G. W. VanLuven, Brockville, who has one
daughter; Zara Van Luven, merchant and
postmaster, Moscow, who has one son a gaoler at Napanee, another a clerk in
Hinch & Scott’s and two others at home;
Peter Van Luven, Esq., retired farmer, Moscow, who is a director of
the N. T. & Q. Railway and a J.P.;
Alpheus VanLuven, manufacturer, Yarker, and President of the Branch
Reform Association. The latter is
married to a daughter of the late Samuel Scott, another old U.E. family; their son assists the father in his
business and the daughter is married to Mr. John Ewart, woollen manufacturer,
and an ingenious mechanic and taxidermist, whose studio is full of rare
specimens of art which are worthy of inspection. Michael VanLuven, Sydenham, harness-maker
and independent; Jane Van Luven
married Mr Geo. Robinson, paper maker, Newburgh; Thos. Van Luven, Esq., county Treasurer,
Frontenac, is another son; John B. Van
Luven, another son, resides on the homestead and works the farm.’; Emily Van Luven married Mr. George McKay,
Brockville, conductor G.T.R. and has one child. Cornelius Van Luven’s course through life
was characterized by straightforwardness, integrity and perseverance, which
gave him a position of esteem in the hearts of all who became acquainted with
him. In early life he joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church and for over
fifty years was a constant attendant in the house of God and for a long time
a class leader and always active for the interests of the church. He was genial and unobtrusive and no cause
which he considered right ever appealed to him in vain. He was a constant advocate of temperance
principles; always opposed to the liquor
business in every shape and form. In politics he was a Reformer from
principle. Early in life he identified
himself with that noble band of patriots that stood out firmly against the
tyranny of the family compact. He
never wavered in his allegiance to Liberal principles and he had the
satisfaction to see tyranny in church and state overthrown and responsible
government established. Within his
lifetime Canada has advanced from one province to a Dominion of seven,
extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. His long life includes parts of the reigns
of four British Sovereigns. He was a
lad of five when Trafalgar was fought, in his teen when Wellington overthrew
Napoleon at Waterloo. When a lad 12
years old he drove his brother to Kingston to join his regiment to take part
in the war of 1812 and he was attracted by the music to join as a drummer
boy, but he had to take the horses home and take care of the old folks, his
mother anxiously awaiting his return.
In the rebellion of 1837-38 he was one who went to Kingston and took
up arms against the rebels, giving the lie to those who now-a-days look upon
the Reformers of that day as rebels, for no more loyal set of men ever lived
than the Reformers of ’37 and ’38, and among them Cornelius Van Luven was one
who stood in the front to defend the rights of the Crown and the Freedom of
the people. What a lot of wonderful
events have occurred since this old veteran came into the world at the
commencement of the present century?
In his time railways, steamboats, steam printing presses, matches,
telegraphing, telephone, and a multitude of other improvements in agriculture
came into use. He leaves behind him an
example worthy of imitation and a name that his children may be proud
of. His life should be an example to
those who have wandered away from their first principles and are now
unrespected even by those who they have joined. Let them return, and thus like our departed
friend, leave behind them an honoured name which is better than great riches. |

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
