WAGAR - At
Napanee, on Tuesday, February 12th, 1918, Allan M. Wagar, aged 72
years and 4 months. Obituary - It
was a great shock to the community when it was reported on Tuesday morning that
Mr. Allan Wagar was dead as the result of a fall from his verandah while
taking ice off the roof of his house. It is supposed that a large mass of ice
and snow suddenly slipped from the roof of the house and struck him, causing
him to lose his balance and fall on the icy street, rendering him
unconscious, in which state he remained for about an hour, when he passed
quietly away. The funeral took
place from his late residence, John street, on Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and the remains were placed in the vault of Riverside cemetery. Allan McPherson
Wagar was a member of one of the old established families of this County. His
great grandfather, Barent Wagar, came from Germany to America in 1735; his
grandfather, Eberhardt Wagar, came to Canada as a U.E. Loyalist in the year
1784 with his two sons Thomas and William. He received a large grant of land,
and settled on Hay Bay. William Wagar raised a large family, one son, Jacob,
being the father of the subject of this sketch, who was born in South Fredericksburgh
in the year 1845. In 1868 he married Sarah Cole, who survives him, with one
child, Mrs. C.W. Hambly, of Napanee. A sad feature of the occurrence is that
Mrs. Hambly is spending the winter in Florida for her health. About four years
ago he retired from active life and settled in Napanee. Mr. Wagar was one of
the most highly respected citizens of the town, a man of strict integrity in
all his business dealings, and one whose word was as good as his bond. He
made many friends during his residence in town, who will much regret his
sudden demise. He leaves one
brother, Mr. Geo. Wagar, residing on the old homestead in South
Fredericksburgh, and one sister, Mrs. Arthur Snyder, who is with Mrs. Hambly
in Florida. Dr. Nelson Wagar, who died about six months ago, was also a
brother. Was of Old

55 years. Committed
Suicide On Sunday
afternoon, Charles Wagar, a farmer living near Mink's Bridge committed
suicide by shooting himself. He left the house after dinner and proceeded to
the barn where he procured a shot gun and placed the muzzle of the gun to his
throat and with the aid of a stick knocked at the trigger until it went off.
The charge entered the windpipe and head, killing him instantly. The deceased
had been in poor health for some months and very despondent, which, no doubt,
was the cause of the rash act. Last fall he bought the farm where he was
living, from Thomas Pybus. His relative live at Enterprise and in that
neighborhood. A widow, one son, living in Ottawa, and two daughters, at home,
are heartbroken over the terrible act of their father. |

89 years. HAYBURN - An old
resident has passed away from our midst in the person of Ephraim Wagar, at
the residence of his son, Michael, aged 89 years, 2 months and 3 days. He was
a son of William Wagar, who came to Canada at the time of the Revolutionary
War, from the United States, and settled on the farm, which is yet the old
Wagar homestead. Ephraim was the last of a family of fourteen, all of whom
lived to a good old age, his father dying at the age of 104 years. He lived
under five different rulers. He was born in 1815, when King George III
reigned; next was George IV, William IV, Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.
Deceased had a good memory, up to the last, and could recall a great many
incidents of his boyhood days, which were very interesting. He was always a
strong and hearty man, never requiring the service of a doctor until his last
illness, which occurred about two months ago. He married Hannah Card,
daughter of Stephen Card, of the Township of Camden, who died seven years
ago. They raised a family of eight boys and one girl, namely, Henry, Lester
and Charles, of Napanee; John of Rowland, Manitoba, Dr. Ephraim of Bijou
Hills, South Dakota; Mary, wife of Wm. Benn, of Morven, and Michael, who is
Reeve of the Township of South Fredericksburgh. Two boys, William and Robert,
died a few years ago. He also leaves thirty-six grandchildren and
thirty-eight great-grandchildren, all living. In politics he was a Liberal,
and although not connected with any church, he was a firm believer in Christ,
and spent a great many of his later days in reading the Bible. The funeral
service was conducted at the house, by the Presbyterian minister of Bath,
Rev. Caldwell, assisted by the Rev. Thomas, Methodist minister of Conway, on
Monday 3d Oct. The body was placed in the vault, a large number attending to
pay their last tribute of respect. The friends have the sympathy of the
community in their bereavement. |

A NONOGENARIAN -
Mr. Jacob H. Wagar, one of the old landmarks of the county, died at the
residence of his son, Dr. N. Wagar, on Saturday morning last, aged 92 years
and four months. Deceased retained all his faculties to the last, and was
able to be about the house as usual the day before he died. The cause of his
death was evidently heart failure. Mr. Wagar was born in the Township of
South Fredericksburgh, where he spent most of his days, coming to Napanee a
few years ago to reside with his son. Deceased was a staunch liberal, and in
his younger days took a deep interest in the affairs of his native township,
and sat at its council board. Mrs. Wagar predeceased him eight years, and out
of a large family of eleven children there now remain but four, Dr. Wagar,
Napanee, Allan Wagar, South River Road, George, on the homestead, and Mrs.
Arthur Snyder, Thousand Island Park, NY. Years ago a sad misfortune befell
the family. Mr. and Mrs. Wagar had gone out to spend the evening with a
neighbor. During their absence the house took fire and on their return it was
reduced to ashes, their five children perishing in the flames. Death of Jacob
H. Wagar Mr. Jacob H.
Wagar passed peacefully away at the home of his son, Dr. N. Wagar on Saturday
afternoon last at 2 p.m. at the ripe old age of 92 years, 4 months, and 5
days. The cause of death was simply old age.
He ate his dinner on Saturday and as was usual, retired shortly
afterwards. About twenty minutes afterwards, Mrs. Wagar went to his room to
see if he was comfortable, or if he needed anything, and found him cold in
death. Evidently, he had not moved
after getting in bed, simply going to sleep, never to awaken again in this
world. Mr. Wagar was well known in this section of the country, having been
born in the township of North Fredericksburgh, in the year 1811, where he
resided on his farm the greater period of his existence. His wife predeceased
him about eight years ago. Of a family of eleven children four are left to
mourn, three sons and one daughter, as follows; Dr. N. Wagar, Napanee, Allen
Wagar, on the homestead, North Fredericksburgh, George Wagar of the same
township, and Mrs. Snider, , 1000 Island Park. The funeral took place on

Wagar, James Everton |
Wagar -
Accidentally killed near his residence, South Napanee, on Monday, 7th
inst., James Everton Wagar, aged 24 years, 7 months and 24 days. Terribly Sudden
Death On Monday last a
very sad accident occurred in South Napanee, in consequence of which Mr.
James Everton Wagar, a well known citizen of Napanee was instantly killed.
Mr. Wm. Ferguson had a number of men assisting to jack up a building he has
recently purchased preparatory to putting new sills underneath it. Mr. Wagar
was one of the men thus employed. As they were about to lower the building on
a temporary foundation he was at one of the jacks, which appears to have
slipped from its foundation letting that end of the building suddenly settle.
He was caught under the building and its weight suddenly crushed the life out
of him. He only breathed a few times after being relieved from the weight of
the building. Deceased was a strong and healthy man, just apparently in the
prime of life, and in his 25th year. He had only commenced work for Mr.
Ferguson that morning. Last year his wife died, of consumption, and soon
after their only child also died. The entire family has thus been swept away.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wagar, also well-known residents of our
town. The funeral took place from his late residence on Wednesday afternoon,
and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Bartlett, the interment being in the Napanee
Cemetery. Only a couple of months ago he took out a twenty-year endowment
life policy with the Crown Life company, of which Mr. Hartley Lapum is agent,
on which he had only paid two installments. An Inquest
Ordered - In order that all the facts in connection with this terrible
accident may be made clear, Mr. J.C. Huffman, coroner, thought best to order
an inquest. The following gentlemen were sworn in as jurors on Tuesday; Robert Boyes, foreman; Albert Root, J.H.
Fitzpatrick, W. Maybee, M.T. Vanslyck, Levi Storms, J. Lafave, C.W. Guess,
M.H. Shibley, Fred. J. Shepard, Sperry Rockwell and John Soby. The jury after
viewing the body and inspecting the scene of the accident, adjourned until
Friday, to-day when evidence in the case will be heard. H.M. Deroche, K.C.,
County Attorney, will have charge of the case. |

Walker, Isaac |
ISAAC WALKER - Was
born of Methodist parents in county Sligo, Ireland, in 1846. He died at Mono Road, April 9th,
1885. The class met at his father’s
house in Ireland. Deep impressions
were thus made upon his susceptible heart.
Early in life he learned to believe in the necessity, the reality, the
blessedness of heartfelt piety. In
1867, under the ministry of Rev. B. Sherlook, on Albion Circuit, he found the
one thing needful. To the end he kept
the faith, enduring as seeing him who is invisible. For two weeks, as death was laying his hand
on a strong frame, he suffered agonies of pain, but without a murmur. “Not a doubt,” was his repeated testimony
to his minister in regard to the Saviour’s pardoning love. Again and again he expressed his gratitude
that he had been led to Christ before the days of pain and dying agony. To his wife, the second daughter of Bro.
Joseph Lindsay, with whom, for sixteen years, he had shared life’s sorrows
and its joys, he said, “I am going to leave you; it is not now I have to begin to seek
God; I’ll soon be drinking at the
fountain.” Ten children, from whom he
felt it hard to part, were left behind.
Trusting to that faithful God whose promise is to be “a father of the
fatherless,” he was enabled to say, “Thy will be done.” The sudden call of one so generally
esteemed, and so much needed in life’s early prime has made a deep
impression. May the Holy Spirit make
it sanctifying and saving [signed] Geo. W. |

MRS. WALKER -
Relict of the late Alexander Walker, Esq., Mitchell, county of Perth, Ont.,
died at Lion’s Head, in the house of her son-in-law, Feb. 14th,
1887. Her maiden name was Jessie
Robertson, a native of Blair-Athol, Scotland.
She was godly from her youth to her age. In early life she was a member of the
Presbyterian Church in her native place.
In company with her husband and a growing family she came to Canada
thirty-three or thirty-four years ago. Owing to distance from the services of
the people of her early communion, and that the Methodists were close by, she
gave her name as a member with them.
She was a constant reader and warm admirer of the GUARDIAN. Her piety was constant, consistent, and
deep-toned; her intelligent, broad catholicity of spirit, was very
refreshing. At times it sounded like
her Master’s own voice as he said, “Whosoever shall do the will of my Father
in Heaven, the same is my mother and sister and brother.” During her long life her faith failed not,
though severely tried. Seven of her ten children and her husband having been
called away before her - one of them in the very prime of life by drowning -
her chastened cheerfulness, faith, hope and love showed how grace can sustain
its children on the earth and make meet for heaven. Her remains were taken by train from the
Peninsula to Mitchell, and laid by the side of her husband to await the
resurrection of the just. [signed] Robert Carson |

- The subject of this brief notice was born at Castledigge, county Tyrone,

they settled in the township of Albion.
After the death of her parents she came to reside with her only
brother, John, who is very widely known by a large circle of Methodist
ministers. His house was a home for
the Methodist itinerant for many years, and is today a home like that spoken
of in Scripture, where the blessed Master used to resort. Here with the brother and his wife two of
the sisters have lived up till June 18th, when Ann, the eldest of
the family, passed away to her final rest in great peace. Her illness was short, but through it all
she had a sure sense of God’s presence and favor, often speaking of the rest
of heaven as her final home. Friday

WALRATH - At

aged 75 years and 3 months. DEATH OF C. W.
WALRATH - On Friday morning, Mar. 15, 1918, Chas Washington Walrath entered into
rest. He was born on Dec 27 1842, near
Centreville, in Camden Township, and at the age of six years moved with his
parents to the farm on which he resided till death. Chas. Walrath was known to his many friends
and neighbors as a man of clean, honest and upright character, also one of
the most active men in agricultural pursuits in the township. He was a staunch Liberal in politics though
never a politician. Dropsical heart
trouble was the cause of death and though his last illness was of less than a
year’s duration he was a great sufferer.
He was resigned to go and many times during the last two days while
his loved ones were standing by his bedside, he murmured, “Lord take me now.”
and after the poor tired body was at rest, many spoke of the calm, sweet
smile that had lingered even through the pangs of death. Besides his widow, to whom he was married
in Selby, on Nov. 23 1880, he leaves his only child, Mrs. George H. Brooks,
to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. Although he came of a family of twelve
brothers and sisters only one sister survives, the youngest of his family,
Mrs. J. Yeomans, Wesley. The funeral
service which was attended by a large concourse of friends, was held at Selby
meth. church, on Sunday at 10.30. Rev.
Mr. Garratt, his pastor, who had visited him several times during his
illness, took the service. Mr. Garratt
chose as his text, Chron. 1 Chap 29, part of the 15th verse, -
“Our days on the earth are as a shadow and there is none abiding.” All the pain and
grief are over, Every restless
tossing passed. He is now at peace
forever, Safely home in
Heaven at last. And He cam
Himself to meet him, In that way so
hard to tread, And with Jesus’
arm to lean on, Could he have
one doubt or dread. |

OBITUARY - THE LATE MRS. C.
WALRATH - The death
occurred at her residence at Grieves Corner, Richmond township, October 16th,

Morgan and Henry Morgan, who were born in Ireland and came to Canada with
their parents, while young. On

predeceased her in March, 1918. She
was one of six brothers and sisters, three of whom predeceased her, namely;
Mrs. H. Smith (Olivia) in Honolulu, Hawaii;
Mrs. Alva Hargrave (Debrim) Hewvelton, N. Y., and Mr. George Morgan,
Roblin, Ont. Two brothers survive,
William Morgan, Mountain View, Calif., and Rev. Henry Victor Morgan, of
Tacoma, Washington. she is survived by
an only daughter, Mrs. Geo H. Brooks, with whom she resided. She also leaves two grandchildren, Garnet
Brooks, and Mrs. J. H. Ramsay (Mary Elaine Brooks) of Newburgh and three
great grandchildren, Margaret, Billy and Beverley Ramsay. A daughter of
deceased, Alma Jane Walrath died in 1884 at the age of two years. Mrs. Walrath was
in failing health for five years, having suffered a stroke in January 1936,
but was able to be about and attended divine service at Forest Mills two
weeks before her death. She will be
greatly missed in the home circle and in the church, which she so dearly
liked to attend. Two days before her
passing she read aloud in a clear voice from her Bible, words of comfort to
loved ones and friends present with her. The funeral
service, which was largely attended, was held on Sunday October 18th
from her late residence to Camden V Cemetery.
Rev. J. T. Caswell of the United Church gave a comforting message and
Mr. and Mrs. Ward Wartman sang an appropriate duet. The pallbearers were Messrs. Adam Scott,
King Scott, Lewis Fox, John Smith, Milton Smith and Stuart Baker. At the same hour of the funeral service
here, her brother, Rev. H. V. Morgan, at Tacoma, having received the telegram
announcing her passing, just as he was about to enter the pulpit of his
church, asked the congregation for permission to change the service and make
it a memorial to his sister. The music
was as though selected for the unexpected service. The organ voluntary was the Elegie by
Massanet, and the solo, “Life Weaving”, music by Alfred Wooler and words by
the Rev. Father Kabb. Mr. Morgan spoke
of his sister’s life of their childhood together and read a number of his
poems in which he had referred to his “black-eyed sister” of girlhood and
later to the “white-haired one.” The
benediction “Sunset” closed the Tacoma service. |

cast over the community on Friday morning, July 1st, when it
became known that Mrs. Wm. Walsh, a long and much respected resident of North
Fredericksburgh, had passed peacefully away at the Kingston Hospital. All
that loving hands could do was of no avail, and although her sufferings were
severe she bore them with Christian fortitude. The deceased was
formerly Jane Ann Moore, a daughter of the late Isabella and Conrad Moore.
Her early childhood was spent in Fredericksburgh and in 1886 she married Wm.
J. Walsh. To this union were born eleven children, two of whom predeceased
her some years ago. Mrs. Walsh was highly esteemed by all who knew her, and
her kind, unselfish disposition, unassuming manner, reliability and readiness
to help others will ever keep her memory green. She was a consistent and
enthusiastic member of St. Patrick's Church, Napanee, where the funeral was
conducted by Rev. Fr. O'Connor, attended by a throng of sympathizing friends.
The spiritual and floral tributes were numerous, showing the high esteem in
which the deceased was held. Besides her
sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, two daughters and seven
sons, Mrs. A.B. Smith and Miss Nellie, at home; Edmund, Swan River, Manitoba;
Percy, of Toronto, and Robert, Albert, Harry, Ferdy and John, of Napanee; one
sister, Mrs. Geo. Richardson, and four brothers, James and Robert, of Gretna;
Andrew, of Moosejaw, Sask., and David, of Dakota. Her remains were laid to
rest in the Roman Catholic cemetery, Napanee. |

WARD – At his
residence, East St., Napanee, on Saturday, July 27th, 1912, George
Collins Tremaine Ward, M. D., aged 56 years and 6 months. DEATH OF DR. G. C.
T. WARD – Our citizens were shocked to learn on Saturday evening that one of
our highly esteemed and most able physicians, in the person of Dr. George
Collins Tremaine Ward, had suddenly passed away at his residence, East St.,
heart trouble being the cause. Dr.
Ward was born at Cataraqui, Ont., in 1856.
He lived for a few years on a farm at Sandy Creek, N.Y., and
afterwards attended Grammar School at Kingston and Bath. In the year 1879, he graduated from Queen’s
University Kingston, and commenced the practice of his profession in Napanee
the same year. During his long
residence in Napanee – some thirty-three years – the doctor has given much of
his time and ability for the welfare of the town. He has represented East Ward for many years
in the Town Council and in 1897 was elected Mayor. He also gave valuable service on the Board
of Electric Light Commissioners when the town had a municipal plant. Doctor Ward was one of the many examples of
what a young man of the right stuff may attain to in this Canada of
ours. He was a self made man, and from
the age of fifteen years was largely dependent upon himself. While living at Bath, for part of two
summers, he drove the mail from Kingston to Sandhurst and return daily. While a teacher he spent his holidays
selling books and maps. At College he
won, by competitive examination, the appointment of Demonstrator of
Anatomy. By these various means he
managed to get through College a little better than even with the world, and
during the thirty-three years of his residence in Napanee had worked up a
large and lucrative practice. Besides
his sorrowing wife, he leaves five children, Dr. Harold Ward, New York City;
Mrs. H.P. Lander, Brookfield, Mo.;
Mrs. James Andrews, Boston, Mass.;
Miss Grace and Master Horace at home, to mourn his death. The funeral, which was largely attended,
was held on Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock, service being held at Trinity
Methodist church, thence to Riverside cemetery. |

Mrs. Mary
Tremaine Ward – Who died on Saturday
Nov 2d 1907, at the residence of her son, Dr. G. C. Tremaine Ward, which has
been her home for the past twenty years, was born in Rodman, N.Y. in 1816. She came to Waterloo, now named Cataraqui, when
a young woman, as assistant teacher in her brother’s school, afterwards
marrying John Ferris Ward of that place, whose death occurred nine years
ago. Her father, Reuben Tremaine, was
a congregational preacher, and the family were brought up according to the
strict Puritan customs. Her husband
was a member of the Society of Friends.
The children, three boys and two girls are all living, inheriting
vigorous constitutions. Mrs. Ward was
a woman of unusual intellectual powers, a student and lover of nature, and
always taking keen interest in current affairs, reading the daily papers
until the last few weeks. She kept in touch with the friends of early life by
correspondence and visits, until their dropping off one by one, she was
nearly alone. Our venerable townsman,
Mr. John Gibbard, was a schoolmate in Rodman.
Her firmly established Christian faith enabled her to meet death in
the same calm, cheerful spirit that had upheld her in the inevitable trials
of life. She retained her mental
faculties until the last. Her physical
death was of the gentlest like the dying away of a summer breeze. Her practical sense in every day affairs
her unswerving faith in God’s guidance, and her artistic nature, were
elements of character which cause her to be held in loving remembrance. |

Napanee has lost
one of its well-known and much respected citizens in the death of Mr. D. S.

morning, 29th inst., aged about 87 years. He was a native of
Wilton, a son of the late Sidney Warner, J. P., for many years one of the
leading businessmen and citizens of this county, and an ex-warden. Deceased

and the balance of his business life in Wilton. He was a successful businessman
and retired from business and settled in Napanee, about fifteen years ago,
where the balance of his days was spent. He was a man of education and
intelligence, always genial and kindly, and had a very large circle of
friends. He had not been in good health, but no one supposed his end was so
soon. He had only been confined to his house a couple of weeks. He married
Miss Georgina Walker, of Odessa, who survives him, with their two children,
Dr. Albert F. Warner, a practicing physician, in Toronto, and Luella, wife of
Mr. W. M. O'Beirne, publisher of the Stratford Beacon. He was for many years

WARNER – At his
residence, Lindsay, On Sunday 14th February, John Billings Warner,
formerly of Napanee, aged 52 years. Cut off in the
Prime of Life – Much surprise was created in town on Monday last by the
announcement that Mr. John Billings Warner, of Lindsay, had died the evening
previous. It was known to some of his
friends here that he had not been well for some time past, but they little
expected his end was so near at hand. Deceased was the eldest son of the late
Billings Warner, of Yarker, who while bathing with his brother James, (now of
New York), in the river there, got beyond his depth, and being unable to
swim, was drowned. Mrs. Warner, his
widow, afterwards married the late Capt. Edmund Hooper, M. P. for Lennox, and
died about a year ago at Lindsay.
About twenty years ago with his brother Isaac, now also of Lindsay, he
started business in Napanee and later was a traveller for a Toronto
firm. A few years ago he started an
extensive dry goods business in Lindsay, which he carried on successfully
until his death. Deceased married a daughter of the late Lyman Moore,
Hamilton, who with seven children survive him. Mr. Warner was an excellent business man
and a favorite with all with whom he became acquainted. He had a large circle of relatives and
acquaintances in Napanee and vicinity, who will regret his early demise (aged
52 years) in the prime of life. The
bereaved wife and brother have the sympathy of their many friends in this
section. The funeral took place on
Wednesday, the remains being placed in the vault at Lindsay. |

The Late Sidney
Warner - A Sketch of a Worthy Resident - His Funeral Very Largely Attended The late Sidney Warner,
of Wilton whose sudden death on Monday was recorded, was the eldest son of
the late Stephen Warner, and was born in Montgomery county, New York. He came
into Canada in 1812. His father located on what was known as the "John
Bell farm" in Fredericksburgh. In 1824, the family moved to Ernesttown.
Mr. Warner early in life evinced a desire for a mercantile calling, and
opened up business on the farm, but in 1832 moved to Wilton, where he
successfully carried on business for forty years. Deceased was a Methodist
and gave liberally towards the support of the ministry. In 1832 he was
appointed a Justice of the Peace and postmaster at Wilton, which office he
resigned six months before his death. Mr. Warner was always Liberal in
politics. He was elected a member of the old district council in 1847. For
many years he was Reeve of Ernesttown, Warden of the United Counties, and
later Warden of Lennox and Addington. Early in life
Mr. Warner was married to a daughter of the late Robert Madden, of
Ernesttown, who died in 1850. Later he was married to a daughter of the late
Col. Matthew Clark, of Ernesttown, who survives him. Mr. Warner leaves five
sons and two daughters. A good many years ago the deceased gentleman
purchased from the heirs the property known as the "Simcoe," on a
part of which Yarker is built, but where at that time nothing could be seen
but the river with its falls surrounded by an immense forest. The funeral, a
very large one, took place on Wednesday, Rev. Mr. Morrison conducting the
services, assisted by Rev. Messrs. Curtis and Thompson, Messrs, John Peters,
Jas. Miller, Jas. Thompson, Alex. Davis , John Davy and John Johnston acted
as pall bearers. |

SERGT. A. E.
WARTMAN eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wartman of Newburgh and a nephew of
Mrs. M. E. Shorey, 151 Robert Street, died in hospital in France on Oct 16
from a wound in the thigh received on Sept 17 while he was helping to bring
in the wounded. Pte. Wartman was
studying medicine at Queen’s University, Kingston, and came to Toronto to
enlist in the 5th Field ambulance Canadian Army Medical Corps,
with which he went overseas. He was
[illegible] years of age. He was a
member of the Masonic Order. THE LATE SERGT.
A. E. WARTMAN, B.A. In the death of
Sergt. A. E. Wartman, B.A., Canada has lost one of her most promising young
men. He was born at Wesley, near
Newburgh, where his father, George E. Wartman, still resides. At twelve years
of age he gained admittance into the Newburgh High School, from which he
secured his Second Class certificate, with honors, also his Junior
matriculation. Wishing a University
course, he went to Napanee Collegiate in order to receive his Senior
Matriculation. In the fall of
1909, he entered Queen’s University, starting an Arts course. Always being a lover of nature and an
out-door life, at the commencement of his second year at college, in addition
to his Arts course he decided to take out a B.Sc. degree with a view to being
a Civil Engineer. In 1912, he
secured his B.A. degree, but a severe attack of heart trouble unfitted him
for the strenuous life of a Civil Engineer, and led him to decide on a course
in medicine. At the outbreak
of war he offered his services to his country. Failing to pass the medical examination at
Regina, he again offered himself at Toronto, where he was accepted. In place of
coming home the fall of 1914 to enter upon his third year of medical work, he
came to tell his parents and brothers that he had enlisted and was accepted
for overseas service, as a member of the 5th Field ambulance
Corps. “For you know,”, he said, “I
thought you would consent to my going, when you knew that wounded men lie for
days where they fall on the battlefield, unattended and with no one to help
them.” April, 1915, he
crossed to England. He was soon in active
service in France, where his thoughts were of others. His work on the two terrible days of
September 15th and 16th, 1916, secured for him the
recommendation of a Distinguished Conduct medal. On September 17th,
while manfully and cheerfully doing his duty, of rescuing others who had
fallen in the fierce of the fight, he, himself received his death wound, from
a piece of shrapnel entering his right side and penetrating his lung. Being weakened from the wound, which was
most serious in itself, he apparently seemed to hold his own for a few weeks, until pneumonia set in and he
died October 16th. His superior
officer paid him this tribute, “He has been of great use to his comrades, his
officers and his country. I have
depended on him often as much as on my graduated medical officers.” Sergt. Wartman
was a member of the Methodist Church from a boy. At a farewell given him by his friends and
the members of his Sunday School class, he assured them he had thoroughly
considered the step he was taking, from all its standpoints, and should he
not return all was well. About the
time of his enlistment he left this autograph which certainly seemed to be
his motto: - “Lost is that day, Whose low, departing sun, Sees not to man,
Some little kindness done.” On Sunday
afternoon, November 5th, an impressive memorial Service was held
in the Methodist Church at Wesley, conducted by the Pastor, Rev. E.
Farnsworth, assisted by Rev. C. W. DeMille, and D. A. Nesbitt, B.A., a former
teacher. The masons were in
attendance, he being a member of the Prince of Wales Lodge. The esteem in which he was held was shown
by the numbers who from far and near, attended to pay their tribute to his
memory. “Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” |

At Napanee, on

WARTMAN - It was with a great sense of loss that the community at large heard
of the sudden death of Dr. Cortland Homer Wartman, on July 31st,
at his home in Napanee. Apparently in
his usual health until a week previous, his passing was unexpected and deeply
regretted. The deceased was
the 7th son of Peter Wartman and Rhoda Shibley, and was born at
Glenvale, Kingston Township, August 21st, 1858. Just thirty-three years ago he married Miss
Emma Leonard, daughter of John A. Leonard, Esq. Receiving his certificate from Sydenham
High School, he taught in the home community, going from there to Iowa as
Principal of the State Industrial School for boys, which position he held for
six years, his wife being Musical Instructress. He resigned this position to study
dentistry, and after graduation, he practised in Napanee with his brother,
and after Dr. C. D. Wartman’s death, continued the office alone, completing
twenty-five years. He was the last of
ten children, seven sons and three daughters. His great
grandfather was Captain Grass, who piloted the U.E.L. contingent up the river
to what is now Kingston. Another great
grandfather came with his family from the Susquehanna Valley, following the
Revolutionary War, and they were related to Laura Secord. With such an ancestry, it is not a surprise
that the two sons of Dr. Wartman, are in khaki, Clarence in France and
Leonard at Barriefield. For twenty-three
years he was Superintendent of Trinity Methodist Sunday School, and was
intimately associated with every department of Church work. Quiet and unassuming he did not fill as
large a place in the public eye as a man who forces himself, but an
exceptionally large circle of friends experience a deep loss in his
passing. Expressions of regret and
sympathy from Church Boards and the School Board, of which he was a member,
show the esteem in which he was held by the men with whom he worked. |

OBITUARY - John Wartman - The sudden death
of Mr. Wartman on Tuesday, April 9th, cast a gloom over the
community and came as a great shock to the family and village of
Newburgh. He had to all appearances
been in good health. John Wartman,
the son of Secord Wartman and Hester Ann Huffman, of U.E.L. descent was born
in Camden, near Wesley Church and lived in that neighborhood until 1923, when
he moved into the Village of Newburgh.
Early in life he united with the Methodist Church at Wesley, of which
church he was a consistent member, holding many responsible positions on the
Official Board. On his removal to
Newburgh he was made a member of the Trustee Board of the United church. He was faithful in attendance at all the
services of the church, the prayer meetings, the Sunday School, in which he
took great interest. He was a strong advocate
of prohibition and interested in everything which would better the social and
moral conditions of the community. In
1907 he married Miss Lilah Buck, of Kepler, who predeceased him ten years
ago. One daughter, Miss H. Marguerite
was left to mourn the loss of her mother.
In 1921, he married Miss H. Alma Johnston, of Kepler, who with the
daughter mourn the loss of a loving father and kind husband. There were eight children in the Secord
Wartman family, and this death is the first break of the eight who grew up to
manhood and womanhood. the surviving
brothers and sisters are M. Cole Wartman, Mrs. Sol. Clancy, of Wesley; Mrs. W. M. Allen, Yarker; Mrs. C. N. Shorey, Cleveland, O.; Miss Amanda, of Sacramento Cal. and Mrs.
Jas. Paul, Newburgh. The funeral
services were held at his late residence, Newburgh, on Thursday, April 11th. A very large gathering testified to the
high esteem of the community to the deceased and the beautiful flowers were
an expression of the very sincere sympathy from the many friends and several
organizations for the widow, daughter and family. The service was conducted by the Pastor,
Rev. T. H. P. Anderson, assisted by the Rev. A. H. Hoare, a former Pastor,. His departure was sudden, but “To be with
Christ is far better.” |

Washburn Ebenezer |
At Hallowell, on
Sunday, the 12th November, Ebenezer Washburn, Esq., aged 70 years, 7 months,
and 4 days, universally regretted by a numerous family and acquaintance. He was born in
the province (now State) of Massachusetts, on 8th April, 1756, and joined the
Royal standard shortly after the commencement of hostilities between the
colonies and Great Britain, under which he continued during the remainder of
the revolutionary struggle. After the peace
he came to his District, as one of the first settlers, since which time he
has been one of our most active, industrious and enterprising inhabitants;
and in the mercantile transactions in which he has engaged, was generally
characterised for assiduity, punctuality, and integrity. In him was fully
exemplified the summit of human virtue so simply yet elegantly described by
the poet, "An honest man's the noblest work of God." In public life,
he filled the offices of Justice of the Peace, and member of Parliament in
two different sessions, to the honor of himself and the benefit and
satisfaction of the public. In private life
he was social, affectionate, and friendly. The disease
which terminated his existence was dropsy, under which he laboured for nearly
the last ten years of his life. During the last eighteen months he underwent
the operation of tapping* ten times, without ever repining or murmuring at
the will of Divine Providence. He was perfectly
conscious of his approaching dissolution, and met it with that fortitude and
resignation which could only arise from the prospect of a happy futurity;
knowing that if his earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, he had a
building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. *Dates of the

OBITUARIES -
PETER D. WEESE One of the best known
and most highly esteemed residents of the Township of Ernesttown passed away
at his home, near Bath on Tuesday morning, March 14th, 1939. The funeral service was held on Thursday
afternoon at Bath United Church, and was conducted by Rev. G. T. McKenzie. Mr. Weese, who
was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Weese, had been in failing
health for some time and his many friends were sorry to hear of his
death. He died on the farm where he
had lived for the past 55 years. The
deceased, who was a Conservative in politics, served in the Council for a
period of eight years, and was a member of the Maple Leaf Masonic Lodge,
Bath. The funeral, which was largely
attended, was in charge of that Order. His wife, who,
before her marriage, was Miss Annie McIlwaine, of Selby, predeceased him 20
years ago and his only daughter, Mrs. T. D. Creighton, 10 years ago. Mr. Weese was
the last surviving member of a family of five. His brother, Sam, met with a tragic death
at Collin’s Bay 43 years ago. Stewart,
another brother, passed away at his residence near Selby seven years
ago. Mrs. George Sexsmith, of Napanee,
a sister, passed away two days after her brother Stewart. Mrs. Robert Martin, of Wesley, another
sister, passed away three years ago. The late Mr. Weese
is survived by one son, Stewart, with whom he resided, and five
grandchildren, Herbert, Annie and Dorothy Weese, also J.P., and Duncan
Creighton. |

STEPHEN WEESE -
Stephen Weese died at his residence, 3d Con. Camden, near Strathcona village,
Dec 31st 1907 aged 70 years, 7 months and 12 days. He was a son of Samuel Weese, and Susanna
Sweet, U.E.L. people who came to this county from the states. They settled in Richmond, where the subject
of this sketch grew to manhood. When a
young man, Mr. Weese purchased the farm where he died. About a year after coming to Camden he
married Miss Eliza Lockridge, which was 48 years ago. Five children were born to them, three sons
and two daughters. The oldest son,
Samuel was killed at Collins Bay crossing by the cars about eleven years ago,
which was a terrible shock to the family as well as to the whole
community. The remaining children are
Mrs. Martin of Camden, Mrs. G. S. Sexsmith of Richmond, and Peter, of Bath
and Stewart, on the homestead. Mrs.
Weese also survives him. For 13 years,
Mrs. Weese occupied seats in the township and County Council, where his
upright dealing won the respect and confidence of all. About 8 months ago, Mr. Weese found he was
afflicted with cancer. Although
everything that could be done was done without avail the terrible disease
made steady progress until Dec 31st 1907 when death put a period
to his sufferings. He was the friend
of all; everyone who went to him for help or advice was never
disappointed. We may well say with one
of old, “Where shall we find the like again?”
He had no fear of death and spoke of “going home.” Rev. C. L. Thompson, his pastor, visited
him frequently, at the last administered the Sacrament of the Lord’s
Supper. The funeral took place on
Thursday under the auspices of the Masonic Order at Newburgh Methodist
Church. The funeral cortage was the
largest seen in these parts for years.
The remains were deposited in Newburgh vault. Beyond the
flight of time, Beyond this vale
of death There surely is
some blessed clime Whence life is not a
breath
Nor life’s
affection transcient fire Whose sparks fly
upward to expire. |

DIES FOLLOWING CAR CRASH A Napanee businessman, E. B. “Bert” Weiss,
died at the scene shortly after 6:00 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, when his car
collided with another automobile at the intersection of John and Bridge

Weston, Emma |
EMMA WESTON -
Wife of Mr. Peter Weston, on the city of London, passed away to the better
world on the 3rd day of August last, in the 59th year
of her age. She was born in
Camberwell, London, Eng., but the greater part of her life was spent in
Canada. At a very early age she
embraced the religion of Jesus Christ as a personal privilege and
experience. Concerning her conversion,
she never doubted, and her piety was of that decided type that makes itself
known in the outward life. She at once
became connected with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and was for several
years a teacher in the old Adelaide Street school, Toronto. She afterwards,
with her husband, became united with the Methodist New Connexion Church. In the course of time her residence was
changed to London, and after the union of the two Churches in 1874, she
became a member of the Queen’s Avenue Church in that city. Here she resumed her active labors for
Christ. She remained a valued and
efficient teacher in the Sunday-school until the time of her death. She was also a faithful attendant at
class-meeting, and greatly enjoyed the benefits arising from that
time-honored means of spiritual communion.
But it was in connection with the public charities of the city that
her religious life most made itself felt.
For many years she was a working member of the Woman’s Christian
Association, and as chairwoman of the Public Relief Committee her services
were simply invaluable. She was eminently
fitted for the position by her keen perception and large experience, and was
ever ready to go out in all kinds of weather and traverse all parts of the
city to serve the poor and needy. It
will not be easy to fill her place.
She was ardently attached to Methodism, and for years her house was
considered the minister’s home. Her
last illness was prolonged and severe. The greater part of the past winter
was spent at her brother’s in New York, in the hope of obtaining some relief
from the disease that was wasting her strength. After her return to London, however, her
health continued to decline, until it became evident to all that her days
were numbered. She possessed her soul in patience, and from the first was fully
resigned to her heavenly Father’s will.
Her faith in Christ continued unshaken. Her hope of the better world was bright and
strong. Many expressions came from her
lips that were full of comfort to her sorrowing friends. Her family gathered about her, some of them
coming from a distance and received her parting words of counsel and
affection, and then she quietly awaited the Lord’s summons to come up
higher. Of her it may well be said,
“She rests from her labors, and her works do follow her.” [signed] D.G.S. |

OBITUARY -
Florence Robertson White, wife of Charles DeWitt White, Boston, Mass., and
only child of Mrs. Helen A. Robertson, Providence, R.I., died on July 13th
1907, at the early age of 26 years. She was married to Charles DeWitt White
on January 6th, 1904. On Aug 2d 1906, a son was born to them. In
February last the baby contracted scarlet fever. Anxious for the life of her
darling baby boy, she took no thought for herself. With good medical
treatment and care the baby got over the fever, and when the doctor
pronounced him out of danger, the mother collapsed and went to bed. Her whole
nervous system broke down and gave way. She made all her plans for her
funeral even to the minutest detail, but recovered sufficiently however, to
be able to be up again and go out driving, but was taken down again the
latter part of June, and sank very fast into a decline, despite all that the
best of medical treatment and loving care could do to save her. She was fully
resigned to go and left every assurance of a glad and glorious resurrection.
After death the remains were taken to her grandmother's home, the late Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Diamond, Providence, R.I. where the funeral was held. |

DEATH’S HARVEST
– WM. H. WILKISON, County Judge, Dies Suddenly in his Bathroom - No greater shock was ever experienced by
our citizens as a whole than the announcement made on Wednesday morning that
His Honor Judge Wilkison had been found dead while in the act of taking his
usual morning plunge in a bath of cold water.
Could it be possible that the handsome, genial, whole souled gentleman
who was about as usual the day before, in the best of health and spirits,
would never again on earth exchange his kindly greetings with our citizens,
young and old, rich and poor? The sad
fact is alas too true, and it is a fact also that no one will be more missed
from our town. There is little to tell
as to his death. It was his habit to
take a cold bath on rising in the morning, and on Wednesday it was noticed
that he remained longer than usual in the bath room, detaining
breakfast. Wondering what was the
trouble, Mrs. Wilkison sent the man to find out. He knocked at the door and
receiving no answer, opened it and to his horror found the Judge dead in the
tub. The sudden shock of the cold
plunge is supposed to have caused heart failure. The distressing scene is too pathetic to
dwell on. In apparently the vigor of matured
manhood, with the laurels of a well spent life earned and being enjoyed, he
is cut off without a moment’s warning. It will be well for us all however, if
when called we can show such a blameless life and are able to appear before
our Maker with as unblemished a character as the late Wm. H. Wilkison
possessed – all that any man can take with him out of this world. Judge Wilkison was born in the City of
Kingston, Nov. 3d 1838, and was the son of the late William Wilkison, of
Kingston, and formerly of Belfast, Ireland.
He was educated at the old Grammar School in Kingston, through which
many illustrious Canadians passed. In
1861, he was called to the bar, and came to Napanee to practice. From September, 1864, till 1869 he held the
office of county crown attorney and clerk of the peace for the Counties of
Lennox and Addington, and had worked up a large and lucrative law
practice. On May 28th 1869,
he received the appointment of Judge for this county, and this position he
has honourably and successfully filled ever since. The Judge was married to Isabella Allan,
eldest daughter of the late Wm. Allan Geddes, barrister, Kingston, in 1863,
who is left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and a model man in every respect. Deceased was a member of the Anglican
church, and took a deep interest in the home church as well as in the welfare
of the church in general. He was for
years a lay delegate to the Synod, and was one of its prominent members. The Judge was deeply interested in works of
mercy and was yearly instrumental in gaining a liberal grant from the County
council to the Kingston General Hospital, of which he was a governor. Out of respect for deceased the flags are
flying at half mast on the Town Hall and court House. The funeral service will be held today at
10:45 o’clock at St. Mary Magdalene’s church and thence by special B. of Q.
train detailed through the courtesy of his life long friend, Mr. E. W.
Rathbun, to Kingston, where the remains will be placed in the vault at
Cataraqui, to be later interred in the family plot there. The pall bearers
were the members of the local bar: - D. H. Preston, K. C., H. M. Deroche, K.
C., W. S. Herrington, K. C., John English, J. H. Madden, W. G. Wilson, U. M.
Wilson, W. H. Perry , G. F. Ruttan and T. B. German. The remains will be taken to the church at
10 o’clock, where the many friends will be given an opportunity of taking a
last look at the deceased. The service
will be held in the church at 10:45 and the special train will leave the
station at 11:15 a.m. Deceased is laid
out in his judicial robes. The
pall-bearers will also wear their legal gowns. The body will arrive in Kingston at 1:15
and the funeral will take place from the train. It is likely the Kingston Bar Association
and the Synod of the Diocese of Ontario will be represented at the funeral. |

Death of John
Williams – Leaves a Large Family to Mourn His Loss On Sunday
morning, 4th April, John Williams, a wealthy and very old resident
of Bath, passed peacefully away to his rest at the ripe age of eighty-seven
years and eight months. He had been ailing for many weeks; his robust
constitution resisted the inroads of disease while it could but at last give
way under the weight of years. Mr. Williams was born in Adolphustown on the
27th of August, 1812 and fifty-eight years ago moved to Bath,
where he resided up to the day of his death, following the blacksmith’s
trade, in which, being skilful and industrious, he was always successful. Of his twelve
children six sons and three daughters survive him, five of whom, viz: Knox,
Solomon, Samuel, Patience and Samantha were at the funeral. In 1891 his wife,
a most exemplary Chrisian woman, was called away, since which event he and
his faithful daughter Patience have lived in retirement together. In early
life a member of the society of Friends, he subsequently left them and
frequented the worship of the Presbyterians, but after the death of his wife
he conformed to the church of England, was baptized by the Rev. Mr. Baker,
and on Trinity Sunday, 31st May last, received confirmation at the
hands of his grace archbishop Lewis. The funeral, which took place at St.
John’s church Tuesday afternoon, 6th inst., was attended by a
large number of the friends of the esteemed family and the remains were laid
to rest beside those of his late beloved partner in life in the family plot,
where lie also those of two of the three children who preceded him to the
grave. The old man’s
illness was of such a nature that it was necessary he should be watched and
tended night after night and day after day for weeks before the end came and
to do this the assistance of the neighbors had to be called in and it was
given with such cheerful alacrity and good will that Miss Williams begs the
writer to thank all those who so kindly afforded her help in the hour of her
need. A similar coincidence in connection with Mr. Williams’ death may be mentioned
here before closing. Fifty years ago a daughter died in the same month of the
year, April, on the same day of the month, 4th, the same day of
the week, Sunday and the same time in the morning, seven o’clock. Obituary - John
Williams - On Sunday morning, 4th April, John Williams, a very old and
esteemed resident of Bath, passed peacefully to his rest, having attained the
ripe age of 85 years and 8 months. He had been ailing for many weeks, his
exceptionally robust constitution resisting the inroads of disease while it
could, but at last giving way under the weight of years. Mr. Williams was
born in Adolphustown on the 27th August, 1812, and 58 years ago moved to Bath
where he resided until the day of his death, following the blacksmith's
trade, in which, being an expert workman and most industrious, he was always
successful. Of his large and respectable family of children - twelve in all -
six sons and three daughters survive him, five of whom, viz., Knox, Solomon,
Samuel, Patience and Samantha were present at the funeral. In 1891, his wife,
a most exemplary Christian woman, was called away, since which he and his
faithful daughter, Patience, have lived together in retirement. In early
life, a member of the Society of Friends, he subsequently left them and
frequently they worshiped at the Presbyterians, but after the death of his
wife he conformed to the English Church, was baptised by the Rev. M. Baker,
and on Trinity Sunday, 31st May last received confirmation at the hands of
His Grace Archbishop Lewis. The funeral took place at St. John's church on
Tuesday afternoon and was attended by a large number of the friends of the
esteemed family, and the remains were laid to rest besides those of his late
beloved partner in life in the family plot where lie also those of two of the
three children who preceded him to the grave. A singular coincidence in
connection with his death may be mentioned here. Just 50 years ago, a
daughter died in the same month of the year, April, on the same day of the
month, 4th, the same day of the week,
Sunday, and at the same hour, 7 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Williams' illness
was of such a nature that it was necessary he should be watched and tended
night and day for weeks without cessation until the end came, and to do this the
assistance of the neighbors had to be called in, and this assistance was
given with such cheerful alacrity and good will that Miss Williams desires
that public expression be given of her thanks in this sketch to the many
friends who so kindly came to her aid in the hour of need. |

Charles S. |
Funeral of Mrs.
C. S. Wilson On Thursday,
April 29th, a simple but impressive service was held in the
Methodist church here, a number of friends having gathered to show respect
and affection for the late Mrs. Charles S. Wilson, who for many years was a
resident of the town. Rev. Dr. Alfred Brown conducted the service, offering
prayer after the singing of “Abide With Me: by the congregation, and reading
the twenty-third Psalm and selections from John XIV. The ladies quartet then rendered “Nearer My
God To Thee”, and Rev. Dr. S. J. Shorey gave a brief but effective address
wherein he emphasized nature’s answer to the question, “If a man die, shall
he live again?” An illustration used
was that of the migratory bird which winging its far flight from the only
land it has known, finds a home awaiting it.
Surely God who provides satisfaction for the bird in its quest, will
not deny man the fulfillment of his desire, hope and trust. That the conditions of the future life are
not more fully revealed to us, the speaker affirmed was owing to our present
undeveloped state which made it impossible for us to receive a more perfect
revelation. Dr. Shorey spoke feelingly of the affectionate esteem in which he
with many others hold the memory of Mrs. Wilson and referred to the spirit of
hospitality which pervaded her home. “Safe in the arms of Jesus” was sung at the
close of the sermon. Among near
relatives present were Mrs. Wilson’s daughter Mrs. Louella Standish of
Toronto and nephews, Mr. Fred Wilson of Belleville and Mr. H. W. Bedell,
Picton, Mrs. Stephen Noxon of Ingersoll and daughter Miss Marion, who,
intending to be present had come as far as Toronto, were prevented from
continuing the journey by Mrs. Noxon’s illness. Another daughter, Mrs. May C. Eaton resides
in France. The Y’s in whose work Mrs.
Wilson has always taken a peculiar interest were in attendance, being seated
near the flower laden casket. Pallbearers were
Messrs. Fred Wilson, Charles Wilson, H. C. McMullen, H. B. Bristol, C. B.
Allison and Jas. H. Porte. Interment
took place in the family plot at Glenwood.

OBITUARY – We
regret to chronicle the death of Miss Clara M. Wilson, eldest daughter of
Jas. C. Wilson, Esq., of Glenora. It
is well known to most people of this community that during the past winter
Miss Wilson was afflicted with an attack of small pox in its most malignant
form. By the aid of very skilful
medical treatment and most careful nursing she was enabled to recover
partially, but with a constitution thoroughly impaired by the virulence and
prolonged nature of the disease. A
brief visit to Montreal in consultation of medical advice gave little hopes
of her ultimate recovery, and she retired to Toronto, to the residence of her
uncle, Dr. Meachain, for change of air and treatment. Here she gradually weakened and on
Saturday, the 15th inst., her spirit passed peacefully away. Her remains were brought to Picton, on
Monday last, and interred in Glenwood cemetery in the presence of a large
number of sympathizing friends. Miss
Wilson was educated at Hamilton Ladies’ College, of which institution she was
one of the most gifted and brilliant alumni.
In addition to the general subjects of a liberal education she gave
special attention to the fine Arts and many specimens from her brush and pencil
remain to show how exquisite was the taste and how deft the touch with which
her colors were made to glow into life and beauty on the canvas. It was not, however, in the domain of the
polite accomplishments alone, that Miss Wilson exercised her wealth of talent
and her leisure hours. She was an unobtrusive but very effectual worker in
the Christian Church, and the sphere of useful --- varied duties she managed
to bring about her, and in which she took such keen delight will now be left
to the hands of others. Her life was
one of much promise, full of sweetness and light and calm faith, and her
death one of the glories of the cross. She seemed to realize that life is
real, life is earnest, and though cut down in its very morning she had done
much to widen her experience and lift her to a higher plane of
enjoyment. We are sure that her
parents and relatives have the sincere condolence of the public in their
bereavement. |

Wilson, David
(Rev.) |
The Methodist church has lost one of its
oldest and well known ministers in the death of the Rev. David Wilson, which
took place at his residence, North Fredericksburgh, on Tuesday morning last.
Though in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and the fifty-fifth of his
Christian ministry, he retained to the last his vigor, mental and physical,
to a wonderful degree. Up to the day of his death his mind and memory
remained clear and undimmed, and his physical strength was remarkable for one
of his years. Until three or four weeks ago he continued active, and his
genial face and cordial greeting were familiar on our streets, as at almost
any time for the past half century. His strength began then to give way, but
it was only for a couple of weeks he was confined to his room. Even then his
mind continued clear and his voice strong as before sickness. He suffered
little pain. It might be said of him as of the aged Charles Wesley, simply
that "the weary wheels of life stood still."
Five years ago THE BEAVER wrote of him as follows: 'The
Rev. David Wilson is now the oldest and best known Methodist minister in the
counties. He is now in his jubilee year as a Methodist minister, and it is
somewhat singular that his first sermon from a text was preached from the
same pulpit in the early winter of 1845 (the Old Park's church, on Hay Bay,
now torn down). Two or three times he was its regular 'pulpit supply', the
'circuit preacher', twice as 'Presiding Elder of the district', in the old
days of Episcopal Methodist regime, and now for years past as 'Father Wilson'
an old and much respected 'superannuate', always available and ready, always
practical and efficient. We believe that no other minister of any other
church whatever in the county has so long stood before the people, has
preached so many sermons in so many places, throughout the boundaries, and
whose face has become so familiar to three generations, and who has commanded
and retained the confidence and respect of all, as our venerable friend.' HIS OWN RECORD There lies before us a letter prepared by
Mr. Wilson himself, written for an old friend, nearly two years ago, which
gives in his own words, a brief record of his ministerial work. Your
sincere friend and well wisher, DAVID WILSON The venerable Rev. James Gardner, D. D., of
Belleville, also well know in these counties, writes us a very interesting
letter in regard to Mr. Wilson's work and their associations. We much regret
there is not now space at our disposal to use it. Dr. Gardner was Mr.
Wilson's senior in the ministry by a year or two, and so is the Rev. Thomas
Wester, D. D., of Newbury, Ont. These are the only two left of all his early
associates in the church. Rev. Thomas Webster, D. D. Newbury, entered
the work in 1833. Rev. George Abbs, Grimsby, 1840. Rev. James Gardner, D. D., Belleville,
1841. Rev. Ephraim B. Harper, D. D., Barrie,
1841. Rev. George Young, D. D., Toronto, 1841. Rev. Francis Coleman, Hamilton, as early as
1840. These are all Superannuated old men now.
They all well served their day and generation. |
