Yeomans, Edith
Maude (nee
Glover) |
MRS. BURTLE YEOMANS - On Wednesday afternoon, Jan 4, 1939, Mrs.
Burtle Yeomans passed peacefully away.
Up to a few days before she died Mrs. Yeomans had gone about her
household duties and appeared to be in her usual good health. About three years ago, Mrs. Yeomans had
undergone a very serious operation but had apparently recovered and enjoyed
good health until a short time before her final illness. Mrs. Yeomans took a deep interest in the
life of the community, and as recently as the 5th of December
last, read a paper before the local Women’s Institute. Her maiden name was
Edith Maude Glover, daughter of the late Thomas and Agnes Glover, pioneers at
Camden East, where Mr. Glover ran a saw mill about eighty years ago. There were eleven children in the family of
Thomas and Agnes Glover, seven boys and four girls, of whom the deceased was
the youngest. Richard, Jane Ann,
Samuel, Herbert and Edith Maude are deceased.
Those still living are: Agnes,
Elginburg; Robert John, Camden East; Thomas James, Toronto; Albert, Kingston; Eliza May, Wilton; and William Ryerson
Glover, Kingston. Mrs. Yeomans leaves to mourn her loss her
husband Burtle Yeomans, and a son, Hubert Glover Yeomans, sixteen years of
age and a student of Newburg high school.
Mrs. Yeomans was graduated from the Newburgh High School at an early
age and afterwards taught at Wesley, Tamworth South and Odessa South. Mrs. Yeomans dedicated her life to her home
which she loved above all other places and to the education of her son. The funeral services were held at her late
home, “The Pines,” south of Camden East, on Friday, Jan. 6, and was attended
by a very large number of friends, and all the brothers and sisters
living. The service was conducted by
her minister, Rev. M. Douglas and Rev. Dr. George Brown of Chalmers Church,
Kingston. Interment was in the family plot Camden
East. |

Yeomans, Eliza (nee
Detlor) |
Deceased was a
Very Prominent Woman in Various Circles – NAPANEE Aug 26 - Early Friday morning, death claimed a very
highly respected resident of North Fredericksburgh in the person of Mrs.
Eliza Yeomans in her 71st year, and in her passing the community
has lost a devout Christian woman, and the Conservative party of this county
one of its most faithful workers. Although the deceased had not been in the
best of health for some years, her condition was not considered serious,
until last week when she suffered a severe stroke. Her two sisters, Mrs. Cummings of Toronto
and Mrs. Reid of Napanee who has been spending a few days in Toronto with
Mrs. Cummings, arrived in town on Thursday evening, or a few hours before
Mrs. Yeomans passed away. The deceased was one of a family of four, a
daughter of Benjamin and Rebekah Detlor whose home was in the township of
Richmond, near Selby. Her early years were spent at her home and
after her marriage to Joseph Yeomans, a well known farmer of Richmond, three
years were spent on the farm of
Selby. Leaving Selby they moved to
Switzerland where they spent several years, after which they left for
Wesley. Several years were spent in
the Wesley district, and then they moved on the farm on the river road, about
one mile west of Napanee. On locating in this community, Mr. and Mrs.
Yeomans joined Grace United Church where both took a very exceptional
interest. Mrs. Yeomans was very
interested in Sunday School work and for many years was a member of the
Friendly Bible Class. She also was a
member of both Women’s Associations and the Women’s Missionary Society. She took an exceptional interest in
politics and was honored some time ago by being elected one of the vice
presidents of the Conservative Association for this county. Her interest in her party never wavered,
and right up to the last she evinced much interest in the party which she
served so faithfully all her life. For
many years she was a member of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Her interest in Christian Work was so keen
that not only did she serve in her own church but she also attended the
Pentecostal services. Her husband, who predeceased her a little
over four years ago was for one year Reeve for North Fredericksburgh. She leaves to mourn her loss an only son,
Harold Yeomans with whom she resides, two sisters, Mrs. Robert Reid of
Napanee and Mrs. Cummings of Toronto, and three grandchildren. An only brother William Detlor passed away
a few years ago. |

York, Minnie |
OBITUARY - Minnie York In the history of Roblin the illness and
death of Minnie York will ever be remembered as an event which perhaps more
than any other stirred the sympathy of this and every neighbouring community. Minnie York was born in Tamworth, a
daughter of Ethel Brown York and the late Michael Percy York. From early childhood Minnie was a universal
favorite. Her kind, unselfish disposition,
unassuming manner, reliability, and readiness to help others will ever keep
her memory green. After an illness of
several weeks during which medical skill and expert nursing were unavailing
in efforts to restore health, she passed into the other world on May 18th,
being in her 21st year, and with all preparations ready for her
approaching wedding. Minnie York was a consistent church member,
an enthusiastic officer and worker in Roblin Mission Circle and Roblin Sunday
School. The funeral service on may 20th,
in Roblin United Church was very impressive.
The seating capacity of the church was taxed to the utmost long before
the hour announced for service, and very many were unable to enter. Her Pastor, Rev. C. J. Wilson, preached
appropriately and feelingly from Rev. 3:4 “They shall walk with me in white
for they are worthy.” The selections
by the Choir were highly appreciated.
Rev. S. H. Jeffery assisted in the service. The floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful. Wreaths were sent by
Mission Circle, Roblin Sunday School, Roblin Public School, Percy Pringle,
two from Westplain, Mr and Mrs. John Easterbrook, Mr. and Mrs. Jess York,
Mrs. John Sharp, Jannie and Tressa Denison, and a special floral tribute from
Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Pringle. Besides her sorrowing mother, Mrs. Christie
Harten, one brother, Harold, two sisters, Mrs. Harold Young and Helen York
mourn her loss. She will also be sadly
missed by her step-father, Mr. Christie Harten, and her step-brothers and
sisters. Remains were interred in
Roblin cemetery. |

York, Thomas |
MARLBANK -
June 27 - Gloom has been cast over this entire community over the
tragic death of one of our finest young men in the person of Thomas York,
youngest son of Reuben H. York, when, early on Friday morning, fire of
unknown origin burned to the ground the large farm home of R. H. York, and an
older brother Edward and wife and Tommy who lived happily together in the
home. About 2.50 a.m. the alarm was sounded
through the village by Earl Kimmett, who with his father John Kimmett, were
the first to be aroused by the
screaming of the terrified family. The father having been the first to notice
the fire hurriedly aroused Eddie and wife who escaped in their night
clothes. Seeing Tommy was not up Eddie
went to his bedroom window, being unable to get upstairs on account of fire
and smoke. He broke the glass with a
pole but could get no response.
Thinking that possibly Tom was not upstairs they sent word to the home
of Glenn Allan, one of his chums who had been out with him Thursday night,
and asked if he was in the doomed house. On learning that Glen had brought
him to his home about 2.20 a.m. the family were frantic, and efforts were
useless to try and find him for flames had completely enveloped the house and
was fast falling in. The old home was
built over 90 years ago and was constructed of pine lumber. This terrible calamity is the worst that
has ever occurred in our community.
After the flames had been subdued the terrible task of trying to find
the charred remains was begun with the result that only a small portion could
be found. The funeral took place from
the home of the deceased’s brother Jessie on Sunday afternoon at 1.30 to the
United Church, where the Rev. W. H. Truscott preached a comforting sermon to
the bereaved family taking his text from 2nd Samuel, 12 chapter,
23 verse: “Can I bring him back
again: I shall go to him, but he shall
not return to me.” Not a dry eye was
to be seen in the vast crowd, the church being far too small to hold the
immense number which had gathered to pay respect to one who was held in
highest esteem by all who knew him.
The casket containing the few mortal remains was completely covered
with beautiful floral offerings including a wreath from his chums. Six of his chums acted as bearers, namely
Glenn Allan, Gordon Hawley, George O’Neil, Ross Lloyd, Aubrey Asselstine and
Earl Kimmett, while Hugh and Bob Allan were flower bearers. After the service the large cortege
proceeded to the Tamworth burying ground where the remains were interred in
the family plot beside those of his mother.
The aged father was unable to attend the funeral and is at the home of
his daughter Mrs. W. C. Marlin. He is
survived by his father, R. H. York, four brothers, Eddie and Jessie at home,
Calvin of Toronto, and Willie of Mimico;
three sisters, Mrs. W. C. Marlin of this village, and Mrs. Wm. Wicklam
of Lime Lake, and Mrs. Stuart Stinson of Tamworth. To the bereaved family is extended the sincere sympathy of this
whole community and to the immediate family, especially who have suffered
doubly the loss of a loved one and
home also. |

which could be procured, sank peacefully to rest with a full faith in the
pardoning mercy of God. The funeral

Young, Daniel,
Dr. |
Doctor Young’s Will – “I will that upon my
decease and before my burial, my heart and arteries shall be filled (using a syringe)
with a composition made of resin and olive oil, heated together, or some
combination that becomes solid on cooling, and used warm enough to remain
liquid sufficiently long to fill the heart and arteries as well as possible,
and then pass from the liquid to the solid state, and a regular physician
shall perform the said task or undertaking.
If I should die and be buried at sea, or there are any other
circumstances which make the fulfilment of this first clause of my will
absolutely impossible, it shall be null and void.” Such is a clause from the will of the late
Dr. Daniel Young, formerly of the Township of Adolphustown, and then of 188
Grace Street, Toronto, who died on February 22nd last. He left an estate of $13,762 of which
$3,165 is a note, $8,397 in stocks, and $2,200 in real estate, at 125 Grace
Street. The stocks are 9 shares
Dominion Bank, $2,178; 4 shares C.P.R.
common, $664; 30 shares Tri-City Railway and Light,
$2,610; 20 shares Twin City common,
$2,120; 2 bonds, Porto Rico Railway,
$810; and 100 shares Amalgamated
Cobalt, $15. Bequests are made to 37
people and institutes. John R. Young,
nephew, Vancouver, $3000; Emma M.
Young, niece, Vancouver, $3000;
Margaret V. Young, North Toronto, $800; Phoebe Barton, niece, Campbellford,
$400; Church of England in Canada,
$50; Presbyterian Church, $50,
Methodist Church, $50; Canadian
College of Missions $50. The rest of
the estate, $6,362 is divided among 29 relatives in different parts of Canada and the
States, each receiving $220. To his
niece, Agnes Young, is given “the ancient portrait of my grandfather “Tully” in oil painting,
and set in a heavy gold receptacle.”
The executors are J. R. Young and Benson O’Hara, nephews, and Margaret
V. Young, niece, to whom are bequeathed clothing, books, trunk and suit
case. Provision is made for the
erection of Scotch granite monuments and markers over the graves of his parents and brother,
George to cost at least $500, and a red Scotch granite monument worth about
$250 over his own grave. Several;
medical men were interviewed as to the probable object Dr. Young had in
including in his will such an unusual clause as that regarding his
heart, “He may have been under the
impression that in having his heart and veins filled with the solution he was
helping the cause of science,” said one.
“The solution, however, could not be antiseptic. It is just possible that he may have wished
to demonstrate the anatomical structure of the heart and vessels, as the
veins and heart would then not be empty.
It is possible that it is just a fad.
There is, you see, no provision for his not being buried, hence his
experiment would not be a success.”
“As he has declared the clause null and void if he is buried at sea, “
said another, “I imagine that he is simply taking steps to avoid being buried
alive. The heart has to be opened, and
of course, after that, there is no chance of a mistake.” “A fad,” said another, “just a fad. There are far too many of them and I don’t
know what the world is coming to.” |

in Adolphustown and spent her entire life in South Fredericksburgh. She was the daughter of Gilbert Miller

times she had lent the helping hand to the Union Young People’s Society. Those who mourn her loss are her husband,

Young, Philip |
On Tuesday evening, Feb 17th ,
the grim reaper death entered our midst bearing away one of our oldest
residents, in the person of Mr. Philip Young. Deceased was a well known and
highly respected resident of this place having spent the past 33 years of his
life on the place where he died. Notwithstanding his advanced age of 82
years, he was still very active and ambitious, and although not having very
good health for the last two or three years, he was not confined to the house
until Sunday night when he was afflicted with a stroke from which he did not
rally, passing away on Tuesday night. Eight of his children were present at
his bedside, Mr. B. Young, of Montreal, being the only one absent. From the
family chain the first link has been severed, and the frail bark which for so
many years had tossed on life's tempestuous seas, is at last safe in the
harbor. A beautiful and impressive service was conducted at the church by
Rev. Mr. White, Napanee, from the words, "And I heard a voice from
Heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth; Yea, saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and
their works do follow them." Deceased was a firm adherent of the
Methodist church, having been converted over 50 years ago. (**Written in -
