Detail from Attorney General’s 1918 file RG 4-32/1745 at the Archives of Ontario

6th. Witness.

No. 154368 Tremble W.A. Cadet 89 C.T.S. states:-

About 11.30 a.m. July 15/7/18. I was on my fourth trip up in the air practising gentle turns with Lieut. Humphreys. On the way home Lieut. Humphreys was driving the plane. He made three climbing turns around a yacht on the lake. While making the third turn the right wing tip touched the water, throwing machine directly over on it’s back. Next thing I remember was coming up out of the water about five feet from the fuselage. I then swam over to machine and removed my tunic and helmet and then made two attempts to remove Lieut. Humphreys, but was unable to do so. By that time one of the crew off the yacht picked me up in a small boat, but refused to dive under the machine. The owner of the yacht then arrived with a second boat and made several attempts to remove the Officer by diving under the machine. Attempts were also made by a man with a launch but neither were successful. As machine was sinking they decided to get a line on it. After doing so I went ashore in one of the small boats and telephoned from Mr. Chas. Walters cottage, Napanee, to Deseronto reporting the accident.

After telephoning I changed my clothes and then went down to the shore. Here the Medical Officer ordered me to lie down in the launch and rest. Then went to a cottage and rested until taken to Deseronto, by the Medical Officer.

The death registration records that Humphreys died in the Bay of Quinte, by drowning and the Deseronto Post reported the accident in the following way:

Lieut. Cecil J. Humphry Drowned

Lt. Cecil J. Humphry of the R. A. F., an instructor at Camp Mohawk met a tragic death by drowning on Monday when the machine in which he was instructing a cadet plunged into the Bay of Quinte near the High Shore. The cadet, sitting in the back seat was able to free himself. The late Lt. Humphry comes from Selkirk Ave., Victoria, B. C. His mother is at present in England. The remins were conveyed with military honors from the Presbyterian Church to the R.A.F. plot, Deseronto Cemetery where burial took place.

Cecil was born on June 6th, 1897 in Langport, Somerset, England, the son of Charles James Humphreys and Berthe Marie Therese (née D’Herbez). The family arrived in Boston, Massachusetts in 1911 and lived for a while in Spokane, Washington. Cecil attended McGill University and had been working for the Bank of Nova Scotia before he enlisted. He gave his home address as 924 Selkirk Avenue, Victoria, British Columbia.

Humphreys was buried in Deseronto Cemetery.

Remembering Colin Goss Coleridge

Every year there is a graveside ceremony in Deseronto, organized by Pat and Murray Hope of 418 Wing Belleville, to remember the airmen who died while serving at the two Royal Flying Corps/Royal Air Force training camps near Deseronto. Seven of the men were buried here.

2018 marks the 100th anniversary of many of those deaths, including that of Lieutenant Colin Goss Coleridge, who was killed on July 23rd, 1918. Colin’s family lived in the village of Snettisham, Norfolk, England and was one of 45 Snettisham men who died during the First World War. The local Parish Council has created the Snettisham Remembers website as a memorial to each of these men.

This weekend three Snettisham residents were able to be in Deseronto. The village’s vicar, The Reverend Veronica Wilson; Norfolk County Councillor Stuart Dark; and Parish Council Chair, Rosalind Pugh came to lay a wreath of Norfolk lavender and rosemary on Coleridge’s grave as part of this year’s service.

The Archives became involved with this event because we hold a brass plaque remembering Lieutenant Coleridge:

This became part of the Archives’ collection in 2002 when St. Mark’s Anglican Church in Deseronto was deconsecrated. It had been attached to a credence table and was donated to the church by John Coleridge of the Manor House, Snettisham in memory of his son. The table remained in the church when the plaque was sent to the Archives.

As part of the commemorative events this weekend, the plaque and the table were both donated to the National Air Force Museum of Canada. Here are the three visitors from Snettisham, reuniting the two items on Friday:

The table and plaque will now form part of the collection of the National Air Force Museum of Canada, a permanent reminder of the close connections between the air forces of the United Kingdom and Canada.

100 years ago: Roy Edgar Pelton died

Roy Edgar Pelton died of cavernous sinus thrombosis in Toronto General Hospital on this day in 1918 (although some sources say he died on April 15th). Pelton was serving as a cadet with the Royal Flying Corps’ 42nd Wing, based in Deseronto. He had originally enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Vancouver on January 25th, 1917 and had served in the Canadian Army Service Corps for eight months with the regimental number 200223. He joined the Royal Flying Corps in Winnipeg on November 13th, 1917 (number 153779) and was officially appointed to Corps on January 13th, 1918 in Toronto. He was five feet four and a half inches tall, with a dark complexion, black hair and blue eyes.

He would have spent the winter training in Texas with the rest of 42nd Wing, and must have fallen ill on his return to Ontario in April 1918: his death registration notes that he had been ill for two weeks. Initially his death was recorded on his Royal Flying Corps record as a flying accident in Texas. This was later crossed out and replaced with the correct information.

Roy was born in Grandview, Manitoba on July 10th, 1896 (other sources say October 7th), the son of Hiram Whitney Pelton and Edith Abigail (née Powell). Between 1901 and 1911 the family moved from Manitoba to British Columbia: Pelton gave his home address as 833 Pacific Street, Vancouver.

Pelton was buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver.

Fatal Accident at Camp Rathbun

At Camp Rathbun, on Friday afternoon, another air tragedy took place resulting in the death of a flyer and serious injuries to another. Flight Sergt. Drummond with Flight Cadet Alexander were in a plane at a considerable height when from some cause it fell to the ground. Sergt. Drummond was killed and Cadet Alexander sustained injuries of such a nature that his life is despaired of. The aeroplane was wrecked. The accident was witnessed by a number of residents of Deseronto and some from this city were in the vicinity at the time.

The newspaper got Downer’s name wrong. The other man in the aircraft was 22-year-old Lieutenant G. P. [Gordon Porter] Alexander, who suffered cuts and bruises and was “badly shaken up”. Lieutenant Alexander was a Toronto man who had originally served in the 48th Highlanders. He received his Royal Aero Club Aviator’s Certificate (#2869) on May 3rd, 1916 in England – this photograph of him is taken from the records of the Royal Aero Club (courtesy of the Royal Air Force Museum).

The casualty card for the accident is reproduced below:

Type of Machine: Curtiss JN4
Nature and Cause of Accident: Stall on a turn. Nose dive into the ground from 100 ft.

The Court of Inquiry into the accident was held on the same day. Captain Aird of 85 C.T.S. gave the following description of the accident:

Detail from Attorney General’s 1917 file RG4-32/1900 from the Archives of Ontario

1st. Witness.

Capt. J. Aird, C.C. 85 C.T.S. having been called, states:-

Driving along the road I saw a machine steeply bank to the left at about 150 feet; he then straightened out and went along about 100 yards or so, making a vertical bank to the left in which he seemed to lose his flying speed and went into a spinning nose dive. When I arrived on the scene they were endeavouring to take Lieut. Alexander out, having first discovered Can. 70420 Sergeant Downer was dead. I inspected the machine and found all controls in perfect condition. The work of taking the bodies out was carried on as fast as possible, but could have been greatly accelerated if axes and proper wire cutters had been available.

BRITISH AVIATOR BURNED TO DEATH

Deseronto, Ont.—While flying with Vernon Castle at Camp Mohawk, Cadet W. E. Fraser, of Winnipeg, Man., was burned to death. Castle escaped with slight injuries. The two were ascending for instructional purposes when Fraser was seized with nervousness and lost control. The machine swept backward into the hangar and the gasoline tank exploded, setting fire to the hangar. Castle was thrown out when the aeroplane hit the shell.

This photograph shows the burning hangar after the crash.

The official report from the Royal Flying Corps gives a slightly different version of events:

Casualty Card on Allan Walton Fraser’s death, courtesy Royal Air Force Museum

…Date of Casualty: 30.5.17
Where occurred: Camp Mohawk Deseronto
Type of Machine: Curtiss JN4a.
Nature and Cause of Accident: Machine whilst making a turn at the height of 200 ft suddenly put her nose down, frightened pupil who gripped control wheel & pilot unable to right machine which struck roof of hangar and burst into flames.
Result of Accident: Killed
Name of other Occupant of Machine: 2/Lt W.B.T. [V.W.B.] Castle (Injured)…

Vernon Castle was a well-known Broadway dancer who had travelled to England to join the Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He was one of the flight instructors at Camp Mohawk. After experiencing this accident, Castle insisted on taking the more dangerous front seat in the cockpit of the Curtiss JN-4 training aircraft used by the Royal Flying Corps in North America.

A Court of Inquiry was held on June 1st, at which Vernon Castle described the accident and gave his views on the wheel versus stick controls for training aircraft:

Allan Walton Fraser Court of Inquiry - Vernon Castle's evidence

Detail from Attorney General’s 1917 file RG4-32/1145 at Archives of Ontario

1st. Witness. (Contd.) Question from the President:-

“Please give us your reason why you think the “Curtiss” with wheel control is an unsuitable machine for school work”

Witness

“I consider the wheel control unsuitable because you have not the control and quick action with the wheel that you have with the stick control”.

Question from a member:-

“Do you think you could have averted this accident if you had had the stick control?”

Witness.

“I really think I could”.

(Signed) Vernon Castle.

It was also noted by the Court of Inquiry that this aircraft had no instruments. Castle did not believe that instruments would have prevented this accident, but the Court expressed the opinion that stick controls offered more safety than wheel controls and that “all school machines of this type should be fitted with instruments”.

Allan Walton Fraser was interred in the mausoleum at Glen Eden Memorial Garden/Riverside Cemetery in Winnipeg.

If ever in human life we have an illustration of the “stream rising higher than the fountain”: the life of R.A. Fullerton will be also regarded by those who knew him best. Brought up from childhood amid the surrounding of the tavern, he struck out early in life to be the architect of his own fortune, and my commendable industry and great force of charioteer had secured for himself an honorable place among the self made age of 35, leaving an afflicted wife and lovely girl to more their irreparable loss.

The Hero left Deseronto at 4:45 a.m. and had got about four miles down the bay, when a portion of the crown sheet of the boiler gave way, allowing the steam to enter the furnace, the door of which was burst open and Dickson who was sitting in the fire box was scalded to death.

Fegan [sic]	Edward	27/02/1885	Town and Country. On Tuesday morning the dead body of Edward Fegan, shoemaker, of this village, was found on the ice opposite Vanblaricom’s cove, about eight miles this side of Picton. There appears to be some mystery about the manner of his death which is to receive investigation by the Crown. The deceased had lived here about a year doing business in a little shop not far from the town hall. Recently he sold out his stock to Mr. A. Goodmurphy, and set out on Monday evening to go home to his family who reside in Picton. Thomas Rand, of that town, had come over with a cutter to drive him home, and the two left Deseronto about half past 5 o’clock, Rand being at the time somewhat under the influence of liquor. About 7 o’clock Jay Rowe met them near Roblin’s Mills. Fegan was walking behind the cutter and Rand was driving. Fegan, it is said, jumped on Rowe’s sleigh and asked him “to take him to the shore to save his life.” Rowe, who thought they were father and son who had some petty quarrel, was warned by Rand not to do so. Finally, Fegan went and got into the cutter with Rand who covered him with the robes. About 11 o’clock, Rand came to B. Vanblaricom’s and asked the way to Picton, and appeared to be then quite intoxicated. On Tuesday morning John Terril found Fegan’s body frozen stiff on the side of the road. The hat of the deceased was beneath his back, one mitten was off and his arm extended from his body, while the snow in the vicinity was tramped a good deal. It is conjectured that he had been pushed out or in some way had fallen out of the cutter, and that his drunken companion did not miss him. The night being very frosty, eighteen degrees below zero, the old man could not keep himself warm and finally succumbed to the deadly cold. It is said that the deceased was wanted at home by his family, to sign off his interest in some property. Rand was also interested in the property and had several visits to Deseronto to get the deceased to return to Picton.

B. Rathbun, February 16^th, 1885 Beneath the green turf of sleeping, Life’s cares and troubles o’er; But loving hearts are mourning, For her they’ll see no more. From Heaven’s blue arch above, A glorious form looks down Upon the humble clay it left, To gain an angel’s crown. Why mourn when those we love, Snatched from all earthly care; Around the Throne of God,In radiant robes appear. Oh! then forgive the selfish wish, If granted were our prayer; T’would make a glorious saint in Heaven, A weary pilgrim here. As fall the leaves, so one by one, Friends leave us for “That Land,” Who knows how soon the time must come, For us to join that band. The links of love tho’ severed here, Will then united be; And we shall dwell mid those we love, For all eternity. T.G.P. Deseronto, Feb. 18^th, 1885
Rathbun (3)	Mrs. H. B.	20/02/1885	Death of Mrs. H. B. RathbunIt is with no ordinary sorrow that we announce the death of Mrs. H. B. Rathbun, an event which coming so suddenly and unexpectedly startled our community on Monday, the 16^th inst. She had attended service in the church of the Redeemer, on Sunday and as many remarked appeared to be in excellent health. On Monday morning she arose, took breakfast and went about her domestic duties as usual, being particularly cheerful in her conversation. About ten o’clock, she went upstairs to her room and shortly after, Janet Croft, one of her servants, hearing her call for assistance, went in and found her apparently in a fainting fit. Returning to consciousness she complained of feeling very ill and that she could not see. Mr. Rathbun coming in she could only speak a few words to him when she relapsed into unconsciousness. Stimulants were given and medical attendance speedily summoned while intelligence was telephoned to Messrs. F. S. & Herbert Rathbun, Mrs. E. W. Rathbun, and other members of the family. Drs. Clinton & Newton soon arrived, pronounced the case as one of apoplexy and at once saw that no human skill could avail. In a few minutes she breathed her last. The sad news soon spread through the village and, it is unnecessary to state, evoked general expressions of sorrow and sympathy. Messages were sent to Mr. E. W. Rathbun, who was in Montreal and who returned home on Tuesday forenoon, and to Wm. C. Rathbun, in Kingston, who drove up on Monday afternoon through the driving snow storm.The deceased lady was born in New York being the daughter of Isaac T. Storm, Esq., of that city. After her marriage she resided at Auburn, N.Y., and subsequently removed with her husband to Deseronto in 1855. At the time of her death she was in the 62^nd year of her age. Besides her husband she leaves the following sons and daughters to mourn her loss, viz. Mr. E. W. Rathbun, F. S. Rathbun, Herbert B. Rathbun, W. C. B. Rathbun, Mrs. R. J. Craig, and Mrs. E. C. French, all residing in Deseronto, and Mrs. Wm. Hindhaugh, of Oswego. Mrs. Rathbun was a woman whose gentle and amiable disposition endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. In the exalted position of wife and mother she left no duty unfulfilled. A kind neighbour, she will be missed by the poor and friendless, to whom in an unostentatious manner she proved a frequent benefactor. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon and was attended by a large assembly including many from a distance. At an early hour people began to assemble at the “Homestead” which was soon crowded to the doors. The religious services were conducted by Rev. A. Young, of Napanee, who after reading some passages of Scripture delivered an impressive address and engaged in prayer. These devotional exercises over the procession was then formed. The pallbearers were Messrs. W. R. Aylesworth, T. Butler, R. Rayburn, James Whilton, T. Roach Jr., W. Evans, A. Richardson an J. W. Dexter. In addition to the four sons of the deceased, the chief mourners were Rev. R. J. Craig, E. C. French, E. Walter Rathbun, H. VanSchaak, W. B. McMurrich, of Toronto, J. B. McMurrich, of Oswego, and J. Bell, Q. C., of Belleville. In Dundas and St. George Sts., large crowds of people were gathered to see the procession pass. When the railway station was reached the casket was placed in the car of the Bay of Quinte railway to be conveyed to Auburn, N.Y. It was accompanied by Mr. E. W. Rathbun, Mr. F. S. Rathbun, Rev. R. J. Craig and Mr. E. C. French, and finally interred on Thursday afternoon in the family plot in the cemetery at Auburn.

Schuster (1)	Rev. A.	03/07/1885??	OBITUARYRev. A. SchusterIt is our sad duty to chronicle the death of our esteemed and worthy City Missionary, Rev. A. Schuster, which occurred at his farm east of the city at 5 o’clock this morning. Mr. Schuster was of Jewish descent, a native of Frankfurt-on-the-Main, and was upwards of 50 years of age. Several years ago he was converted to Christianity when he began to study for the ministry with the view of giving the light to those of his race who remained in darkness. He first appeared before the people of Belleville about 8 years ago as pastor of the Bible Christian Church. After filling that position for three years, when he showed great zeal and fidelity to the cause of christiaity, he resigned to embark in the city missionary work, as he saw before him a large field for labor. At the start he was alone, and had but a limited purse at his command. One of his first supporters was Mr. E. W. Rathbun, who gave him free use of his office at the wharf, for holding meetings. The different ministers of the city gave him ready aid, and gradually the fruits of his labor became apparent. His was essentially a work of faith and prayer, assistance was sought from none, and whatever aid he received was voluntarily contributed. In the year 1881, he undertook the erection of the chapel on Dundas Street, and later purchased a considerable property two-and-a-half miles east of the city, which he cultivated for the benefit of the poor, whom he had undertaken to aid. In all he did; self was entirely ignored. He spent the energies of his life in elevating the poor and unfortunate, and was eminently successful. He was in every sense of the word, the poor man’s friend, and it will be no easy task to find a person to take up and continue his work. His death resulted from strangulated hernia, caused by overwork on his farm. He overtaxed his strength on Tuesday, and it was thought he could be brought through without a surgical operation. Last evening, however, Drs. Wilson and Youker performed the operation, but found that mortification [i.e., gangrene, necrosis, or severe infection] had set in, and that all hope was past. He was a member of Belleville Lodge, No. 81 I.O.O.F. [Independent Order of Odd Fellows] Deceased leaves a widow and two children. The funeral services here held at the City Mission rooms at 2:30 on Monday afternoon. He was buried under the auspices of the order of Oddfellows. B Belleville Intelligencer.

Deceased was engaged in putting a belt on a pulley when his hand caught between the belt and the pulley. He was drawn to the top of the pulley and then thrown about six feet, when he fell on the slash table below where the stuff is cut into shingle lengths by a series of saws. His left arm was cut off by one of the saws and his head cut by another, the skull being cut through. He was speedily extricated from his position and managed, though so severely injured, to walk with some assistance out of the mill speaking once or twice to those at his side. Being laid down on a car he soon became unconscious. In the meantime Dr. Clinton had been summoned, but it was evident at once that no human skill could avail, and at about 7 o’clock, he breathed his last. Deceased, who was only 27 years of age, came to Deseronto from Marmora a few years ago. He had at one time been a school teacher and held a second class certificate. He leaves a wife and one child who, in this sad bereavement, have the sympathy of the whole community.

Skelly	David	07/05/1886	Fourth Concession Tyendinaga. (From Our Own Correspondent). I am sorry to record the sudden death of one of our young men of the Township of Tyendinaga. He went to the States when he was sixteen years of age to better his condition in life, and worked in Michigan for four years. He left that part April 18^th, 1885, for Wisconsin, but went to Minneapolis on April 5^th of this year. On Saturday the 24^th of April he visited the Union Elevator in company with Peter Le Blanche, a young Frenchman, and returning they were walking along the railway track. Noticing an approaching freight train they stepped over on another track, when D. Skelly was struck by the Omaha train which was coming from an opposite direction, and was thrown a distance of seventy-five feet. “We did not look behind us,” said Le Blanche, “and the freight train made so much noise that we never heard the express train until it was right upon us; I can’t see how I got off the track, for Skelly was a much smarter man than I, but he must have got confused.” The remains were taken to the morgue, where an examination showed a deep scalp wound which caused his death. Engineer Gallup, who was on the engine, says he noticed the men on another track; suddenly they stepped over on the track in front of his engine, and almost before he could make a movement to stop the train, David Skelly was struck dead. Deceased has five sisters in Chicago, and as soon as the telegram reached them, they went and brought the dead body to that place for interment. They and their father and mother and relatives have the sympathy of the public at large in their sad bereavement.

After remaining there a short time they rented a farm in the Township of Richmond on which they lived for some years and reared a family of eight children, four sons and four daughters, whom Mrs. Wilson, in obedience to the instruction of the Apostle Paul to the Ephesians endeavored to bring up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord. To this end, although the Wilsons were Presbyterians in Ireland, the children were regularly sent to a Church of England place of worship and Sunday School, there being at that early date no Presbyterian minister between Kingston and Belleville. In 1848 Mr. and Mrs. Wilson by industry, perseverance and honesty of principle having accumulated a little property purchased the last lot on the broken front of Tyendinaga, originally a portion of the Mohawk Reserve. This farm from being at the time of its purchase almost wild the Wilsons lived to see, by the blessing of God upon their labors, one of the best improved in the neighborhood. In 1858, there still being no Presbyterian service in the vicinity, Mrs. Wilson united herself in the rite of confirmation with the Church of England, two of her children becoming full members of the Church at the same time. She was a frequent communicant and continued her attachment to the church until 1869, when on the visits of the Rev. John Scott, a Presbyterian minister, to Mill Point, now Deseronto, she returned to the faith into which she had received her earliest religious instruction, the faith of her fathers. She, however, still loved and respected the Church of England for five of her children had received the Sacrament of Baptism from the Church; two had renewed their Baptismal vows in the Apostolic rite of confirmation, two have been regularly visited during their long illness by clergymen of the church and had been comforted in their dying hours by the offices of the visitation of the sick and communion of the sick, and when their souls had departed from their bodies they were committed to their last resting place, the cemetery of Christ Church, Mohawk Reserve, with the solemn and impressive service of the Church of England, “Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Mrs. Wilson fell peacefully asleep on Wednesday afternoon, the 20^th of January. Her funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. R. J. Craig, of Deseronto, who had been her faithful spiritual adviser during her long illness. A large concourse, notwithstanding the unusually severe weather, assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to one who had, during her residence in Canada of upwards of half a century been an eminent Christian and a kind and honest neighbor. B Com.
Winters	Mrs. Margaret	07/05/1886	Lonsdale. B The cold and icy hand of death has again visited our village and taken from our midst one of our number in the person of Mrs. Margaret Winters, the beloved and affectionate companion of Mr. Robert Winters, the ever indulgent and fond mother of Sandy Winters, of Tamworth, and also of three daughters, young women at home, to mourn her loss and her tender care and advice, which they were always ready to receive with obedience and love. Deceased was 46 years of age, was born in this place, and married about 28 years ago, and has lived all her life in and near the village. She was a consistent member of the Methodist Church for many years; all who knew her held her in the highest esteem, and her sudden death on Friday last at 3:30 p.m., has cast a gloom over her many friends which cannot soon be forgotten. Her lonely husband and motherless children in their affliction have the assurance that their loss is her gain, and thought she cannot return to them they can go to her. After shaking hands with all present, bidding them farewell, and exhorting them all to meet her in Heaven, she breathed her last saying: “I’m going home to Jesus,” and left the world without a tear save for the friends she held to dear.”To heal the sorrows Lord descend,And to the friendless prove a friend.” The afflicted family have the true sympathy of the writer and their numerous friends. The funeral services were attended on Sabbath at 10 a.m. by a crowded house to pay their last tribute of respect to a departed friend, and listen to a very able and appropriate discourse, which was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Hawley, from John 3^rd chapter and later clause of the 8^th verse: “So is everyone that is born of the spirit.” After which her mortal remains were laid to rest in the Lonsdale cemetery.

He was about 12 years of age and will be greatly missed by his friends. The bereaved family have the sympathy of this neighborhood.

Doyle (3)	Michael	03/02/1888	Read. Our old settlers are quickly passing away and one by one they are going over to the silent majority. Last week we alluded to the serious illness of Mr. Michael Doyle and this week we regret to be called on to announce his death in his 72^nd year, which sad event occurred at 8 o’clock last Friday morning. Last fall Mr. Doyle was kicked by a horse receiving a great shock to his system and from which he never fully recovered. For time after the accident he apparently got better, but for a brief season. Several weeks ago not feeling well he went to Kingston to consult Dr. Sullivan the most eminent physician in Central Canada and he held out little hope of recovery. Shortly after his return from Kingston Mr. Doyle was prostrated on a bed of sickness and gradually grew weaker. For the past two weeks it was evident that the end was drawing near although everything was done that medical skill and loving hands could do. On Friday morning last Mr. Doyle died, surrounded by his family and friends, and fortified by the rites of the Catholic Church. Mr. Doyle was a native of Craigiemanor, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland, and came to this country in 1837. For many years he was engaged in lumbering, and in or about 1848 settled on the 5^th concession where he has since lived. He had a large family all of whom had died before him, with the exception of one daughter who survives him. He was a man well known throughout the county, a man of sterling integrity and universally respected. To many who read this brief notice we doubt not that the name of Michael Doyle will awaken many pleasant recollections. The funeral took place on Sunday morning and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather was one of the largest seen in Tyendinaga for some time. All that was mortal of Michael Doyle was laid to rest in St. Mary’s cemetery, Marysville, in the same plot of ground where repose the ashes of his wife, three daughters and five sons. In her sad bereavement his daughter has the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community. Requiescat in pace.

Gaylord	Philip	31/08/1888	Fatal Accident. On the afternoon of Saturday, 25^th inst., Philip Gaylord, an employee of the Cedar Mill, was the victim of an unfortunate accident which was followed with fatal results. He was employed as a teamster and was engaged in hauling cars loaded with refuse from the mill to the yards. About the middle of the afternoon he left the mill with a loaded car and had almost reached its destination in the yard east of the Chemical works. It happened, however, that one of the pieces of stuff on the car projected too far from the road and as the car proceeded along the track between two piles of wood, this piece was caught and as the horses moved on it was swung about, throwing Gaylord from the load. He fell on the rails, and the loaded car passed over him, the wheels mutilating him a dreadful manner. Mr. Donaldson, the foreman of the yard, witnessed the accident and ran immediately to his assistance. He was conveyed at once to Dr. Newton’s surgery where it was found that his right arm was nearly cut off, the bones being shattered to the very shoulder, while the right leg was also fearfully mangled. Dr. Newton immediately amputated the arm at the shoulder joint, and the leg above the knee; he also amputated the great toe of the left foot which had also been crushed. The young man bore the operation well, but the terrible shock was too great and after midnight he began to sink rapidly and he expired at an early hour on Sunday morning. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon and was numerously attended. The deceased, who was 21 years of age, was the son of Levi Gaylord, of the township of Arden. He was a steady young man and had gained the good will and respect of his companions and fellow workmen. His sudden cutting off is rendered more sad by the fact that he was to have been married in the course of two or three months.

Deceased was in Belleville the day before on business and returned home about six o’clock in the evening. After tea he started for the barn to look after his stock and his long absence prompted members of the family to go and see if anything had happened. The body was found near the stable lifeless. Dr. Wilson was sent for, but the unfortunate man was beyond the power of human aid. The Doctor found an abrasion on the left temple which indicated that deceased had stumbled and struck his head against some hard substance causing death. The late Mr. Walker, was a well-known farmer in the township, and was highly respected by all who knew him.”

Weese (1)	A. R.	21/09/1888	Obituary. There were expressions of surprise and regret on every side last Friday when intelligence reached Deseronto that Mr. A. R. Weese, dentist, had died that morning at the home of his father, Mr. William Weese, near Shannonville. That one so young and apparently so strong should be suddenly cut off after a few weeks illness was considered lamentable. Mr. Weese, who was only 21 years of age, after a creditable course in the dental college, commenced the practice of his profession in Deseronto and by his skill and courtesy had obtained a very large patronage. He caught cold a few weeks ago and was confined to his bed. It was considered advisable to send him to his home near Shannonville. The disease subsequently developed into typhoid fever and the patient sank rapidly and expired last Friday morning. The sorrow of the afflicted family was intensified by the death on the following day of a sister of the deceased, viz., Laura, wife of Mr. Robert Lennox, Napanee. The remains of both were interred on Sunday in the cemetery at Shannonville. The funeral, notwithstanding the great rainstorm, was attended by a large concourse of people from the surrounding country, E. N. Baker of Napanee, and Rev. J. G. Lewis, of Shannonville. As Mr. Weese was a member of Quinte Lodge, No. 1, Canadian Order of Foresters, Deseronto, the members of the Lodge drove out and attended the funeral, Mr. W. J. Malley, Chief Ranger, reading the beautiful burial service of the ritual on the sad occasion. The afflicted family have the sympathy of the whole community in their double bereavement.

Wormworth, late of Tamworth, who has for several weeks resided with his son Nathaniel, drank the contents of a bottle containing corrosive sublimate [i.e., mercuric chloride: insecticide, photographic fixative, etc.]. Medical assistance was secured and everything done to counteract the poison, but through the large quantity swallowed it was impossible to save his life. He died on Sunday night at half-past ten o’clock, 36 hours after the poisoning. Family trouble seems to have been the sole cause of the rash act. He had serious trouble with his family in Tamworth, which was settled a week ago by his paying $1,100 to his wife for her support. The loss of this money, it is said, so preyed upon his mind that he committed suicide.

Badgely	Stephen	06/11/1893	Local Items: Trampled and crushed to death. Mr. Stephen Badgely, an old and respected resident of Deseronto, was the victim of a sad fatality where he traded off a horse for a cold and cow. He sent his boy ahead with the cow and he himself started off near noon for Deseronto driving the cold, a two year old with the rig. Some time after Mr. Riley Loyd, of Marysville was driving into town when a short distance from sucker Creek, he observed the body of a man with a horse standing over him. He discovered that it was Mr. Badgely and that life was extinct. He drove into town and gave information, when friends started off at once to being in the body. It is conjectured that the cold had attempted to turn about for home and going off the road had upset the rig. Mr. Badgely had probably attempted to get the animal back in the road and in doing so had either fallen or been knocked down by the cold which had trampled or otherwise crushed him to death. The body was brought into his home were a sad scene followed, his wife and family been distracted by grief. Dr. Yeomans examined the body but found only a few marks r bruises and no bones broken except perhaps some ribs. Mr. Badgely was a respectable citizen and the intelligence of his death were everywhere heard with regret. Deceased, who was 74 years of age is survived by his second wife and 9 children who have general sympathy in their unexpected bereavement The funeral takes place today at 1 p.m. Service will be held in the Methodist Church after which the remains will be removed to Shannonville for interment.

Ross	Arthur Thorpe	22/09/1893	In Memoriam: “Death loves a shining mark” That there is sorrow and sadness and mourning in the family of our respected Collector of Customs, Mr. Walter T. Ross, none will dispute. That the sympathy of every citizen of Picton will go out to them in their deep bereavement is also equally certain. Deprived o their eldest son, Arthur Thorpe Ross, a youth, whose pure heart and upright life, made him pecurarly loveable and whose future seemed so bright and full of promise, no wonder they feel the blow most keenly and are almost inconsolable. Mr. Arthur Ros had won an enviable reputation for diligence, faithfulness in the discharge of his duties and an aptness for business, in all its details, remarkable in one of his years. In Jauary, 1890, he assumed a responsible position in Montreal and in February 1892 entered the employ of the Rathbun co. as book-keeper at the cement works, at Napanee Mills, filling the onerous duties of that position so entirely to the satisfaction of his employers that at the end of the first year his salary was generously increased, without solicitation on request. He returned home in May last, for a months rest, not the least apprehension then being felt as to his speedy recovery, but steadily and rapidly his strength failed and health gave way – and though everything known to medical science was done to save his valuable young life, so precious to those who knew him, all was in vain, he passed peacefully away on Sunday last at noon. Few young men held the high position in the esteem and affection of their fellow townsmen Arthur Ross did: few will be so long and faithfully mourned.The funeral services – which were of a most comforting and impressive nature – were held at his fathers residence at 4 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. D.G. McPhail, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which deceased was a consistent member. Exquisite flowers in great abundance filled the rooms, silently speaking the love of many friends. Among the mourners walked Mrs. F.S. Rathbun of Deseronto, Mr. E. Bravender, manager of the cement works, Mr. J. MscDonald, of the head office of the Rathbun Co., Mr. R.R. Combie, of the Bak of Montreal, Kingston, Mr. D. Campbell and Mr. S.P. Niles, Customs Officer, Wellingston. A very large precession of our representative citizens followed this beloved young man to his last resting place – Picton Gazette.

He had, however, the great misfortune to lose his hearing as the result of an attack of scarlet fever, which also debilitated his constitution. He accordingly entered upon literary pursuits and was for some years employed on the Napanee Express and the Kingston Whig and later became editor of the Belleville Ontario. About 10 years ago he was appointed teacher in the Belleville Institution for the Deaf & Dumb. He is survived by his 2^nd wife and one child, a daughter. Mr. Ashley was justly held in great esteem by a wide circle of friends. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. Masher of Deseronto and it will be remembered that his mother died here last autumn. He never visited Deseronto without paying a friendly visit to our sanctum, as it was always a pleasure to him to enter the precincts of a printing office.

The unfortunate man had stepped into the money order department of the post office to receipt for a registered letter from his brother F.W. Felson, a livery man in Pembina. He was being asked the necessary questions by Mr. F.J.

He staggered out of the post office before help could get to him, leaving a trail of blood as he went, but got only a few feet from the door when he fell and died almost instantly. His brother at Pembina was telephoned for by Mr. Overback, landlord of the Minnesota house, with whom the deceased boarded. The deceased had been for many years foreman for the Foley Bros. at their Foley Mills and is highly spoken of by his associated as an upright honorable man.” The same newspaper of the 28^th states that AThis afternoon at 3 o’clock the body of David J. Felson was interred in North Stat Cemetery. His brother F. W. Felson, of Pembina, North Dakota, arrived in the city on the early train this mroning and had charge of the funeral.

Mitchell	Thomas	26/10/1894	Deaths: At Deseronto, on the 19^th inst., Mr. Thomas Mitchell, aged 54 yeaers.
Mitchell	Thomas	26/10/1894	Death of Thomas Mitchell: Mr. Thomas Mitchell was found dead in his bed on Friday morning, October 19^th, at the residence of Mr. B. Shandari where he has boarded ever since he came to Deseronto. It is supposed his death was due to heart failure. Deceased is supposed to have been a native of County Sligo, Ireland, and was about 54 years of age. He came to Canada about 28 years ago and worked for awhile on the Grand Trunk. He was employed for a time with Mr. Patrick McCambridge, of the gravel road, and worked for a year or two with J.R. Fraser of Tamworth and S. Detlor of Kennebec, in their lumbering operation. He then entered the employ of the Rathbun company as shanty clerk and for 25 years had been a faithful employee of the company. Mr. R. Butler refers to him as a man of the greatest honesty and fidelity to duty. Deceased was of a very retiring disposition and peculiar in many respects, but was held in high esteem all through the district. He was probably the best arithmetician in this part of Ontario, no problem being too difficult for him to solve. Among his effects is a large collection of mathematical works. A few years ago, a sister came over from Ireland and made him return home where he remained however for only a short time. He left over two thousand dollars in money, but made no will. An attempt will be made to find his relatives, if any. The remains were removed to the vault of the roman Catholic cemetery at Napanee, religious services having been first conducted by Rev. Father Hogan.
Mitchell	Thomas	07/12/1894	Estate of the late Thomas Mitchell: It will be remembered that the late Thomas Mitchell left about two thousand dollars but made no will. His relative were unknown. Among his effects was a letter from Scotland from a person who subscribed herself “Jennie,” together with a photograph. Mr. P.J. Wims wrote a letter to Mr. P.A. McHugh, M.P. for North Leitrim and editor of the Slizo Champion, also enclosing the above-mentioned letter. Word was also sent to the photographers in Dublin who had printed the picture. Mr. Wims’s letter and Jennies communication were both published in the Champion and the photographers also advertised in the Dublin papers. As a result the writer of the letter and the original of the photograph were found to be Miss Jane e. McGolderick, at present a nurse in the hospital at Marysborough, Queen’s County, Ireland. It further appears that Thomas Mitchell’s name was Thomas Mitchell McGolderick, that he was a native of Maheraboy, Slizo County, that he was adopted at an early age by his maternal uncle, Thomas Mitchell, who came out to Canada and had the lad educated in a Toronto college. As often happens the name McGolderick was dropped and he was known as Thomas Mnitchell. In addition to ths sister Jane, there are also another sister and brother, both unmarried, living in Slizo. Mr. Wims has received communication from several other persons who claim to be relatives but other letters received by him and Father hogan show that the persons mentioned as brother and sisters are without doubt the true claimants. The usual processes of administration will be followed and the pro-party divided among these three. This shows there is nothing like an advertisement to find claimants for property or secure information of any kind.

Pile	Thomas Gibbes Esq.	15/06/1894	Local Items: Death of T.G. Pile Esq.: It is with deep regret that we record the death of Thomas Gibbes Pile Esq., late collector of customs at the port of Deseronto, the sad event having occurred at the residence of H.M. Deroche Esq., Napanee. On the 7^th of March, 1892, Mr. Pile was stricken with paralysis while attending to duties of his office. From the effects of this stroke he, in some measure, recovered and was fairly active. Last winter, however, he was prostrated by a severe attack of la grippe, which to a person of his advanced years was fraught with serious consequences. Fro some time he hovered between life and death, but with wonderful vitality rallied and was able on the return of fine weather to be abut again. At last feeling himself sufficiently strong he decided to visit his daughter, Mrs. Deroche in Napanee, and, accompanied by Mrs. Pile, left Deseronto on May 30^th for that purpose. On Monday of last week he was taken ill, and his medical attendants having consulted advised the family that recovery was impossible. Without ache or pain he passed peacefully away abut 5 o’clock Saturday morning, 9^th inst., his partner in life and other members of his family being at his bedside.Mr. Pile, who had reached the age of 81 years, was in Barbados, West India Islands, where his father a member of one of the oldest families, was a very wealthy proprietor, owning large sugar estates. He received his education in England and returned to Barbados. Mr. Pile was quite young when his father died of fever, leaving the subject of this notice a large estate known as Cliffden. Sometime after as a result of the emancipation of the slaves and the depreciation in property and revolution in commercial affairs which followed that event. Mr. Pile, in common with many others in those days, suffered very heavy financial losses. Other discouraging circumstances following in later years he decided to leave Barbados and accordingly in 1866 came to this county, settling in Millpoint as Deseronto was then called, in 1867. In 1876 he was appointed the responsible position of collector of Her Majesty’s Customs at this port and continued to discharge the duties of that office with the greatest fidelity and scrupulous observance of the rules of the department. He also filled the position of Indian Land Agent for the Dominion Government. A gentleman of the old school he was most honorable in all the transactions of life and enjoyed the esteem and respect of all classes in Deseronto. He was a devoted florist and a diligent collector of antiques, his collection of rare and ancient coins being one of the best in the Bay District. Visitors to his home were always treated with the most courteous hospitality. Mr. Pile was possessed of a correct library taste and early acquired a reputation as a poet of no mean ability. Many of his poetical productions have appeared in The Tribune, and in other newspapers and periodicals of Eastern Ontario and critics have pronounced several as deserving of more than ordinary merit. He had a yearning and passionate fondness for his native Barbados and in several of his poems he delights to picture the beauties of that tropical Island. He married Miss Critchlow, of Barbados, by whom he is survived, as also by the following children: Mrs. Henry Briscoe of Deseronto, Mrs. H.M. Droche of Napanee and Mrs. D. McClew of Walkill, New York.The funeral took place on Monday, 11^th inst., many friends from Deseronto driving down to Napanee to pay the last tribute of respect. The bearers were: Messers.

White	John	28/09/1894	Death of Mr. John White, Ex. M.P.: Mr. john white, Esquire M.P. for East Hastings, died on Monday, 24^th inst., at Victoria B.C. Mrs. White on Monday afternoon received a telegram stating that her husband was very ill from kidney trouble and asking her to hurry to his bedside. Two hours later she received another despatch stating that Mr. White has passed away whilst undergoing an operation. It is though that the body will be embalmed and brought to Roslin for interment.John white was born in Donegal, Ireland, in 1833 and there received his education. Whilst a youth he immigrated to Canada and settled in this county, he finding employment as a laborer and afterwards learning the trade of a moulder in a foundry. After years later he started a business in Roslin, and gradually began to take an interest in public affairs, and so sharp and keen were the observations of the young Irishman that, when the Honorable Robert Read, who was elected at the confederation to represent East Hastings in the Commons, [&] was in 1871 appointed to the Senate, Mr. White was, although a Conservative, induced to take the field against Wellington Frizzell, a highly popular gentleman, who was the government candidate. Mr. Frizzell, feeling certain of defeat, retired, and Mr. White, although poor and inexperienced, was chosen to fill the vacant seat.In the following year there was a general election, and after one of the hardest political fights ever fought in Canada, in which Mr. White was opposed by Mr. Frizzell, conservative, and Mr. Thomas Holden, Reform, he was returned by a small majority. In 1874, the Pacific scandal election, he one more defeated Mr. Holden after a severe contest. In the “crowning mercy” of 1878, he polled 12 votes less than his appointment, Mr. W.R. Aylsworth of Deseronto, but was returned on an informality at some of the polls. The election was however recorded by the election courts, and in the contest which followed, he defeated Mr. Willett Farley, of Thurlow, whom he also defeated. In 1887 he was defeated by the late S. B. Burdett, Q.G. L.L.D., and did not again offer for Parliament. Besides fighting seven contests for Parliament, Mr. white took an active interest in municipal affairs. He was three times elected Reeve of Tyendinaga, and was a candidate in eleven township elections. Besides his business at Roslin, Mr. White was for several years associated with his brother James in an agricultural implement factory in Madoc, but in late years he has been engaged in business operations in British Columbia. In Orangeism, the deceased was also long prominent and after filling many minor offices, he was in 1874 elected Provincial Grand Master for Ontario East and a D.D.G.M. of the Grand Black Chapter of British America. In 1856 he married Miss Esther Johnson of Roslin. He leaves, in addition to his widow, two sons and six daughters: Willie & John, Mrs. James Elliot of Prince Edward, Mrs. Hume of Campbellford; Mrs. Willoughby Anderson of Prince Edward; Miss Essie, a school teacher at Campbellford; Eliza and Emma, who reside at home. Two brothers wlurvive him, namely James of Madoc and Joseph who resides in the northern portion of the county. He was a member of the Mystic Lodge, No. 278, A.F. and A.M., of Roslin. The deceased carried a large life insurance. John White was one of the most remarkable men of his time in this part of the country. But meagerly educated, he yet possessed all the sharpness and shrewdness characteristic of his countrymen and by the smartness of his speech and the honorable positions and won his way to the hearts of the people. Always a hard litter; he never asked for mercy. Yet withal he was kind and genial and many of his old-time opponents will join with his hosts of friends in mourning him and tendering to his widowed family and relatives their deepest sympathy in their sorrows.

Mr. Black; after which Hon. Mr. Bowell touchingly referred to a life-long acquaintance with the deceased.Hon, Mr. Bowell said that it was difficult….to speak of one with whom he had been so intimate was wth the deceased…from the time he came to Hastings [county] until so suddenly terminated. In lodge work and business matters he had known the decreased intimately and although he had his foibles like others…he was a true friend. It was their duty as brethren to bury the foibles and remember the estimable traits…as he..had found John White always ready to do his duty. As the head of a family, he [was] a kind and affectionate husband and father, anxious that his family should not only grow up respectable but that they would occupy positions second to none in the community. The deceased, he said, possessed wonderful natural ability and force of character… He referred to the sanguine temperament of the deceased, which knew no such word as failure and which caused him to look upon the bright side of life, which with his industry and push was one of the reasons for his success. He then referred to the great shock it was to him when he heard of the sudden death of his friends and tendered his deep sympathy to the stricken widow and hoped that she would bear her affliction with the resignation of those who believe in the Christian religion and closed with the wish that the children might emulate the good qualities of the father who had gone.

Anderson	Sophie Frances Hamilton	11/01/1895	In Memoriam: It was with feelings of the deepest regret that the community heard last Saturday of the death of Miss Sophie Anderson, youngest daughter of Rev. G. A. Anderson, M.A., the venerable rector of Tyendinaga Reserve. The deceased had in the fall suffered from a severe attack of la grippe, from which she recovered. Though not strong she attended to the usual preparations for Christmas in connection with the church, drilling the choir, decorating, etc. As a result she again contracted illness and typhoid fever followed. It was thought that the disease has been subdued, but being always delicate her enfeebled constitution could not bear the strain and death ensued from heart failure at 7 o’clock on Saturday morning, 5^th inst. The deceased who was born on the Reserve and would have been 27 years of age on the 28^th of this month, was always of a cheerful and amiable disposition. She was a young lady of superior talent; this being evidenced by the good taste and skill which she invariably showed in the decoration of Christ church on different occasions. The chancel at present exemplifies her skill in this respect. To the venerable incumbent of Tyendinaga the death of his daughter will be an irreparable loss, as she was his constant attendant and assistant in the work of his extensive parish. She was active in the Sunday School in which she conducted the infant class, while she was an active member of the choir and other organizations connected with church work. The funeral, which was conducted by Mr. John Dalton, of Deseronto, took place on Monday afternoon, a very large number of people from the Reserve, Deseronto and other parts of the district being present to pay the last tribute of respect. The casket, decorated with floral offerings was removed to Christ Church, where the beautiful service of the Church of England was conducted.

Few events have ever cast such a deep gloom over this community. There was so many pathetic circumstances with his removal that the most thoughtless could not but be compelled to ponder the brevity and uncertainty of human life. That one so active and healthy should be cut off be disease in one short week was altogether unexpected. On Tuesday of last week he had been busy at his duties and performed an unusually large amount of work. In the evening he complained of being unwell and next day found him worse. Dr. Newton soon perceived that his condition was critical. On Thursday he was worse and other medical men were consulted. The disease made steady progress and on Saturday morning the operation for appendicitis was performed by Dr. K. Fenwick, of Kingston, assisted by Dr. Newton, Yeomans and Grant. As the patient had always been a very healthy man it was fondly hoped by al that he would recover. Misses Wemp and Hudson, two of the best nurses in Belleville Hospital, attended him and everything that medical skill could suggest was employed to prevent fatal consequences. His case became one of public concern, his name being on every lip and hope ran high. But Providence had ordered otherwise, and on Monday afternoon it was evident that his days were numbered. The inflammation could not be checked and steadily extended through his system and about 7 o’clock on Tuesday morning he breathed his last. He was quite conscious almost to the last and during his sickness showed wonderful cheerfulness and a firm faith in his Redeemer.

Deceased was a Canadian and a brother of Mrs. S. B. Mason, of Napanee Road, near Deseronto. He was born in the township of Loughboro but was brought up chiefly in Camden Township with his father, the late David Hodge, removed. He was a clerk for a number of years in Lipson’s store, Centreville, whence he removed to Newcastle and from that village to northern N.Y., settling finally in Lockport, N. Y. There he prospered in business and soon became one of the leading citizens being connected with the principal banking and other financial corporations in that busy city. He was the owner of one of the finest business blocks in the city. Mr. Hodge was probably the most zealous and active Mason in Western New York and held several of the leading offices in that great order. The Toronto Freemason of September 1888, contains his portrait and states that his princely donation of the Wyndham Lawn estate for the Masonic Home to the Grand Lodge of New York, was the crowning event in his Masonic career. The mansion is of stone, delightfully situated in the midst of 15 acres and there are conservatories, grapery etc. The estate comprises 80 acres of fine, improved land, abundantly supplied with choice fruits and is valued at $50,000.00 The Freemason states that Bro. Hodge’s gift has never been equaled in the history of Freemasonry and that the craft should place him at the head of the list of Distinguished Masons. His father died about ten years ago.He is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Robert Hodge of Brampton; T.F. hodge of Joliette, Dakota; David Hodge of Vickburg, Miss.; Mrs. William Huff of Findlay, Ohio; and Mrs. S.B. Mason of Deseronto. Mrs Mason had not seen her brother for many years. He paid a visit to her about twenty years ago, but she happened to be away from home at the time. Press telegrams state that it was not known he was a Canadian while in Lockport, he having kept that fact to himself. They also state that no will can be found later than 1870 and it is probable that there will be considerable litigation as a result. His estate is said to be worth more than half a million dollars. The funeral took place on Saturday, 10^th inst., and was of a most imposing Masonic character, leading officials of the order being present form all parts of Western New York.

Prickett	John	11/10/1895	Death of John Prickett: Few events have cast a deeper gloom over our community or elicited more general expressions of sincere regret that the sudden removal of John Prickett, on of the best known citizens of Deseronto, who on Sunday, October 6^th, was the unfortunate victim of a drowning accident. It appears that on Sunday, shortly after 11 a.m. he with his two sons Ernest and Joseph set out from town in a small sailing skiff and after a pleasant sail reached the north Fredericksburg shore at the spot where lies the wreck of the Quinte. Here the little party remained about an hour and a half and then decided to proceed to the Bogart farm. While sailing along the dog was in the boat and it was thrown out that it might follow along the shore. This it did for some time but after going some distance it turned about and returned to the spot, about one hundred yards south of the Quinte whence they had started. Landing at the Bogart farm, Ernest & Joseph went after some hickory nuts and held some conversation with manager of the farm. After a stay of over an hour both returned to the boat. Their father told them that they might remain there for some time longer and he would go after the dog. When they reached the top of the hill they looked back and saw him sailing along all right. This was their last view of him alive. After an absence of two hours they returned to the shore but their father was not there as they expected he would be. As Mr. Prickett had spoken about going up to huff’s dock, Ernest told Joseph to go up there and see if his father was in that direction and if so for both to return to the Bogart farm shore. Ernest walked along the shore for some distance and then waited for his brother who in half an hour returned with no tidings of his father. Both of them started out along the shore in the direction of the wreck of the Quinte. By this time it was beginning to get dark. They were a little over two hundred yards from the Quinte when they discerned the boat which was by the shore about fifty yards south of the wreck of the Quinte. The dog was in the boat, but there was no sign of their father. Both boys then had misgivings that something serious had happened. They looked along the shore, and thinking that their father had possibly met with an accident or perhaps fallen asleep, they searched the wood and called out loudly and frequently. All was in vain – there was no answer and no signs of him could be found. There remained the possibility of his having taken passage with some passing friend to Deseronto and the tow sons took their boat and hastened bat to Deseronto. Mr. Prickett was not at his home and no one had seen him about town. Volunteers soon offered their services to go over and institute a search of the locality near where the boat was found.William Hatch kindly and promptly offered the use of his steam yacht. Will small boats in tow it was not long before the party arrived on the other shore. Some searched the woods and others commenced to grapple in the water. About 10:45 p.m. and after ten minutes of grappling, Thomas Alexander and William Gowan, who were in one of the boats, brought the body of the unfortunate man to the surface. The body was found about twenty feet from the shore and a like distance from the Quinte in about thirteen feet of water. The party brought the body to Deseronto and Dr. Yeomans, coroner, was summoned ut did not deem an inquest necessary, as it was evident that death was the result of an accident. It’s conjectured that Mr. Prickett may have attempted to take the dog aboard while it was swimming and that in the effort the craft lurched and he fell over-board. Others think that he many have been trying to adjust the foresail and that in doing this he fell into the bay. However the exact way in which he met his death must ever remain a mystery. The grief of his wife and family was most intense and heartrending.John Prickett was a native of Larenny Co., Pembroke, Wales, where he was married. He came to Canada about twenty-four years ago and settling in Kingston he was employed in the Kingston locomotive works and in the Ontario foundry. He went from Kingston to St. Catherines where he remained for some time, subsequently returning to Kingston. Twelve years ago he came to Deseronto where he had been employed ever since as foreman of the extensive blacksmith shops of the Rathbun Company. He was a very skillful mechanic always imparting a great deal of energy into his work. He was a member of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. He was also at one time connected with the Sons of England. He was a P.G.R. of Deseronto Court of Independant Foresters. and an active worker in that great order. He was always happy and cheerful with a friendly smile for al comers. His quick, active figure was one of the most familiar on the streets of Deseronto. He is survived by his wife and eight children: William of Omaha; Mrs. J.M. Jordan of Fort Plain, New York; Ernest of the G.T.R. shops, Belleville and Kate, May, Lellie, Joseph and Nellie at home with their mother. The funeral which was under the auspices of Court Deseronto, I.O.F., took place on Tuesday afternoon and was attended by a great concourse of citizens. Religious services were conducted at the house by Rev. J.H. Coleman. The procession was them formed. The members of Court Deseronto, seventy in number, marched ahead of the casket and at their head was the Citizen’s Band which had turned out as a mark of respect to one who had been a firm friend of the organization.

We join with the many friends of Mrs. smith in extending our sincere sympathy for her in her bereavement. Mr. smith’s death took place in Montreal, after a lingering illness, on the 2^nd of February, and the remains were brought to Napanee on the train arriving there at 4:16 p.m. on the 4^th inst. A very large concourse of people were at the station on the arrival of the train, and all approaches were filled with sleighs and cutters. The casket was removed from the outer shell and placed in the hearse by the bearers: Uriah Wilson, M.P., W.F. Hall, William Miler, Judge Wilkinson, M.W. Pruyn-ex M.P. and John Thomson. The funeral was under the direction of undertaker Carscallen. The sleigh with the bearers headed the procession, then followed the hearse and sleighs with the relatives of the deceased, which in turn were followed aby about fifty or sixty sleighs. Both sides of the streets were lined with people who had come to honor the dead. The procession proceeded down John Street, past the Post Office and along Dundas Street, thence to the Napanee cemetery, where the casket was placed in the vault. Mr. smith was born in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, on the 12^th of January, 1825. His father was Alexander Smith, advocate of Aberdeen and his mother was Elizabeth Lamond, of Strathmore, Aberdeenshire. Alexander Smith received a careful educational training, at first passing under the hands of private tutors and subsequently by entering the University of Aberdeen. On completing his education he was engaged for a time in banking, and then joined the army, and was ensign and lieutenant of the 72^nd Highlanders from 1846 to 1850. His travels had been confined to Ireland and West Indies. It was while in the West Indies that being about to marry, he sold out and set sail for Canada. Upon his arrival in Canada he adopted farming, but had no success and abandoned it in 1859, taking a post in the Merchant’s Bank of Canada at Stratford in that year. He was transferred from Stratford to Clinton the year following ad manager of the branch there. In 1864 he was transferred to Napanee and had since remained in that town without desire to change. WE may state that before making application for his commission in the army our subject was required by his father to serve a five year’s apprenticeship in a bank in Scotland, and at the end of this period he had risen to the position of accountant in that institution. This precaution, as unforseen events afterwards shaped themselves, proved to have been a very wise one.Mr. Smith was married to Margaret Crichlow, daughter of Henry Crichlow, merchant, Barbados, British West Indies, at Christ Church Cathedral, Bridgetown, Barbados, on the 30^th of April, 1850. He was a brother-in-law of the late Mr. T.G. Pile, collector of Customs, Deseronto, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Pile being sisters.

Anderson, M.A., rector of Tyendinaga, the sad event having occurred abut 4:50 a.m. on Sunday, February 9^th.

The disease took the form of acute inflamation of the kidneys and after great suffering he passes away early on Sunday morning. Deceased was born in the Mohawk parsonage on the 28^th of August 1858 and was thus in his 38^th year. His health was always delicate and he suffered much from rheumatism. Last year he was very will from typhoid fever which left him still more delicate than ever and less able to fight against any attack of disease. He was of a cheery disposition, kind and considerate for all and particularly so for those at home. To the venerable missionary and his wife this removal is a great blow coming only a little more than a year after the death of their youngest daughter. It is needless to say that they have very widespread sympathy in their great affliction.The funeral, which, despite the very blustery weather and bad roads, was numerously attended, took place at 11 a.m. Services of an impressive character were held in Christ church, the following clergymen being present and taking part: Revs. Rural Dean Stanton and J.H.

Anderson	Gustavus Alexander	06/03/1896	Death of Rev. G. A. Anderson, M.A.: Rev. G.A. Anderson, M.A., the venerable missionary of Tyendinaga Reserve, died on the morning of Thursday, March 12^th at four o’clock, after an illness of about two weeks. He was seized with an attack of la grippe which in a few days was followed by paralysis. Dr. Newton was in constant attendance but it was evident from the first that there was no hope of recovery and though the patient evidenced great tenacity of life, he continued to sink steadily until he passed away yesterday morning. He was conscious during the greater part of the past week, but at times was fully conscious and recognized visitors to whom he expressed his gratitude for their kindness in calling and the many evidences of respect and affliction shown to himself and family. Mrs. Anderson and his two daughters never left his bedside and his parishioners and there friends were most assiduous in their attention. Revs. Rural Deant Stanton, J.H. Colemen, T. Godden and R.T. Dibb were most faithful in their attendance and the members of the Mohawk Council also showed a great deal of thoughtful kindness during the venerable pastor’s illness. For all this kindness, Mrs. Anderson and her daughters are extremely grateful. The funeral will take place on Saturday, 14^th inst., at two o’clock in the afternoon. Services will be held at Christ Church after which the remains will be removed to the vault of the Deseronto cemetery. No doubt very many friends of the deceased will unite in paying their respects to one so long a prominent resident of this district. Rev. Gustavus Alexander Anderson was born at Drummond Ireland, Lake Huron, on the 5^th of July, 1825, and was the fourth child of Captain Thomas G. Anderson, visiting superintendent of Indian affairs for Canada and payer of annuities. Captain Anderson was the son of Samuel Anderson, who, at the time of the American Revolution, received a commission in the King’s Royal Regiment of New York, was wounded at Bunker Hill and subsequently served under Sir John Johnson. After the war he settled in Cornwall, Upper Canada, where he held many important offices and died in 1832, at the venerable age of 97 years. When his son Thomas was but a mere child the father procured for him a commission as cadet of his father’s company, in the King’s Royal Regiment. At the age of fifteen he became a clerk in the store of Thomas Markland, in Kingston, and five years after he left for Northwest Ontario. He took a prominent part in the stirring events of 1812 and subsequently became Indian agent etc., and died at Port Hope on February 16^th, 1875, in the ninety-sixth years of his age. The subject of this sketch was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto and at the Theological College, Coburg, taking his M.A. degree from Trinity College, Toronto. He was ordained deacon in 1848 and priest in 1849 by the famous Bishop Strachan, of Toronto, by whom he also has baptized. His first appointment was the Sault Ste. Marie and then in 1850 he was appointed to the charge of the Mohawk Mission of Tyendinaga. In 1870 he was transferred to Iroquois where he remained for three years. He was then appointed to the charge of the parish of Penetanguishene and while there he was selected for the position of chaplain of the Boy’s Reformatory at that place. In 1855, on the retirement of rural Dean Baker, Anderson was again appointed, at the request of the Indian council to the charge of Tyendinaga Reserve, and continued to discharge the onerous duties of the position until the time of his death. During the past two years it was evident that Mr. Anderson was unequal, owing to failing health to the demands made upon him but the duties of his extensive parish. The death of his daughter Sophie last year was a great bow to him and the death of his son Gustavus a few weeks ago was also keenly felt and exercised a depressing effect. He had practically decided for these and other reasons to resign the charge of the parish and the Indian department at Ottawa had just arranged for a retiring allowance when he was prostrated by the illness which thus caused him to die in harness. In all matters pertaining to Indian affairs and the history of the Mohawk and other tribes, Mr. Anderson was acknowledged authority and in former years readers of The Tribune were often favored with very interesting contributions from his pen on these themes. Mr. Anderson was the sole resident clergyman in this section in the early days of Deseronto, then known as Mill Point. People of all classes and creeds attended his ministration. He held the first service in the old schoolhouse at Mill Point in 1864. Hundreds of residents of the district belonging to all denominations were baptized and married by him. In times of affliction or death his kindly presence was always to be seen. His manner was most genial and he took a warm interest in all public affairs. He was a Conservative in politics and did good service for that party in many a campaign. He was also a member of the Loyal Orange Assoc. and frequently preached to lodges of that body and took part in their public demonstrations. In fact he was one of the most conspicuous figures in the Bay district and his removal will be heard with regret by hosts of old friends and acquaintances all over the province. Mr. Anderson was united in marriage on June 12, 1859, with miss Mary Clouston, daughter of William Clouston, of the Hudson Bay Company’s service. They had seven children, three sons and four daughters. His widow survives and two daughters, Mrs. Featherstonhaugh and Miss Mary, are both at home at the parsonage. Two sisters survive him: Mrs. W.H. Rowe of Toronto and Mrs. H.D. Rowe of Japan. To the family the sympathy of a very large circle of friends will go out in their great bereavement.

He afterwards came west to Belleville and hearing of the mills being opened in Millpoint, now Deseronto, he set out for that village. Here he remained until his death. When he arrived in Deseronto he was about 20 years of age. He had not been long in the employ of the owners of the mill, when his honesty and industry was recognized by H.B. Rathbun, the founder of the Rathbun Company, who placed him in positions of trust. Every duty assigned to him was performed with the greatest fidelity and he steadily rose from one position to another until he was entrusted with the direction of the extensive forest operations of the Messrs. Rathbun. In that capacity he manifested signal ability and was the right hand man if the general manager of the Rathbun Company in all matters pertaining to the rest and most important department of their operations. Messrs. Callaghan and Scanton both commenced their work under Mr. Butler. In fact very many of the leading men in connection with the Rathbun Company were in their early days more or less in his charge and bear the imprint of his practical mind.Enjoying but few privileges in early life, by application and reading he kept abreast of the times in his business and in other matters. He valued the importance of educational institutions and spared no means in giving the members of his family a liberal education. His record for honesty and integrity is well known all over the district. He was a faithful member of the Roman Catholic church which, by his death, loses a generous supporter. While faithful to his own church he was ever ready assist the poeple of other denominations in their undertakings and he will be remembered by old residents as a contributor to the old Union Church. He was a total abstainer. In politics he was a Liberal and always took a keen interest in public affairs. Mr. Butler was making arrangements to go to Kingston on Thursday to be examined by Dr. Sullivan. He was looking forward to a trip with Mrs. Butler to Ireland as soon as the medical men would grant permission. Of late he had not been able to visit the lumber woods, but he nevertheless attended to his business by giving advise and council to the various foremen under him. He was married to Miss Elizabeth McVey, of Tyendinaga, 41 years ago on the 21^st of October next. He is survived by the following children: M.J. Butler, C.E., EJ. Butler, Dr. Tobias Butler of Chicago, George A. Butler, Mrs. John McKenty of Napanee and Misses Libby and Ella. It will be remembered that William, a bright young student, died about 14 years ago. The funeral took place on Thursday at 11 a.m. It was very numerously attended, many friends from all parts of the district being present. Owing to the destruction of the church in Deseronto, religious services were conducted at the house. Rev. Father Hogan officiated and prefaced the service by a warm tribute to the memory of the deceased whose integrity of character and consistent Christian life he held up as an example worth of imitation. He knew the deceased had so lived as to be prepared for the final summons. The procession then proceeded to the cemetery. In addition to the members of the family and other relatives, E.W. Rathbun, T.S. Rathbun and W.C.B. Rathbun were present as mourners. The bearers were: W.R. Alysowrth, Thomas Callaghan, a.H. McGaughey, Thomas Roach Sr., J.M. Poitras and James Scantlin.

Carrie	Aquilas	21/08/1896	Sad Drowning Fatality: On Tuesday evening a sad drowning accident occurred which brought unspeakable sorrow into tow happy homes of this town. The victims were Aquilas Carrier, son of Joseph Carrier, formerly of St. David, Levis Co., P.Q., and Xavier Dube, son of Henry Dube. Both lads were about fourteen years of age. The two left their homes abut seven o’clock in the evening. Mr. Dube, when his son did not return at the usual hour, became uneasy and set out to look for the boys. He looked in different places but could get no tidings. He then, between nine and ten o’clock, went to the Bog mill log pond where boys frequently go in bathing. Going on the pier he found the clothing of the two boys and the discovery led him to suspect the fearful truth that they were drowned. He was so overcome that he fell off the pier into the water. He hastened home and gave the alarm on the way. A search for the bodies was then instituted and by means of lanterns the bodies were located, a young man named Howard being the first to observe them. They were in five feet of water, only a little distance apart, both lying with their faces on the bottom. It is thought that one of the lads took a cramp and otherwise came to grief and that the other endeavored to go to his rescue and was himself caught by the weeds at the bottom. Some men heard the cries of boys but did not heed then, thinking it was nothing serious. The bodies were brought to their homes which were almost opposite each other on St. George Street. Pen could not describe the anguish of the bereaved parents and their families. The whole community was rudely shocked by this double fatality and people have talked of little else for the past few days. Both lads were bright, manly little fellows, a source of pride to their parents. Young Dube was called Xavier after a brother of his father who had been drowned when only fifteen years of age. By a strange coincidence a like fate happens to the lad so named. People of all classes called at the homes of the two lads to express their sympathy.The funeral of the two lads took place yesterday afternoon. It was of a double character and great numbers attended. It was one of the most pathetic spectacles ever seen in the town. The two processions, side by side, passed along the streets.

He has been confined to his home nearly a month, during which period he endured terrible suffering. One week ago a hemorrhage started and it was then thought the end was near. The flow was checked but his friends knew it was only a matter of time when the disease would work its way into the jugular vein. The news of his death was therefore no surprise to those familiar with his condition.Mr. Charters was one of the most popular and capable lumber inspectors on the river and during the past few years he has been engaged in shipping on his own hook. He was a Mason and belonged to the other fraternal societies.

He was trustful, conscientious, and simple-minded. It may be said of him that he was > a man in whom there was no guile=. For over twenty years he was an elected member of the council, the duties of which office he discharged faithfully. He was elected delegate to the first Diocesan Synod held in Toronto, in May 1851, in which capacity he served the Parish for many years after the Diocese of Ontario was formed. When the Episcopal Endowment Fund was being raised for Ontario, he , as councillor and representative of the Reserve, proposed that the Band should contribute tow hundred and fifty dollars, which motion was carried and the sum immediately paid: At the meeting afterwards held in the Parish Church to solicit donations from the whites interested in the proposed new Diocese of Ontario and raising of funds for the endowment, a discussion arose as to who would be the bishop, one saying he would contribute liberally if so and so were to be elected and so on. When the discussion has lasted for some time and not real business had been transacted, Thomas Claus rose and said “You white people have no faith. I d not wish to boost of what we have done; we have given $250.00 to God. He will choose the man He wants and we should be satisfied.” This little speech was such a rebuke that the discussion indeed and liberal donations were made. Thomas Claus was for many years leader of the choir and on the first Sunday of December, which was the last time he attended Christ Church, he took part in the singing. He will be missed form his seat in the Church and at the Holy Communion from which celebration he was never absent.

Day	Charles H.	21/08/1896	Death of Charles H. Day: Charles H. Day, died at the General Hospital, Kingston, at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 15^th. The intelligence of this reached Deseronto on Sunday morning, his brother, John W. Day, having arrived here on the early morning train to make arrangements for the funeral. It will be remembered that the deceased was taken ill with typhoid fever some weeks ago. It was thought well to remove him to the Kingston hospital and accordingly her was conveyed thither by steamer, Dr. Newton accompanying him.The fever ran its course, and he was on his way to recovery. Friends expected that in a week or two he would return to Deseronto. However, Providence had ordered otherwise; the desire returned in a more malignant form and despite all that the best medical skill and kind nursing could do, death gained the mastery. During his illness the deceased was the subject of constant attention. Mrs. Solmes, with whom he boarded and Dr. Newton were very kind and the Messrs. Rathbun took the deepest interest in the case. Doctors Third and Garrett, in Kingston, did everything the best skill could suggest. Miss Bryden, the nurse to whom he was assigned, was most assiduous in her attention and was ably assisted by Nurse Demorest, Clew and Gray. The gentle patience and Christian fortitude of the sufferer drew all hearts to him. A. Chadwick, the representative of the Rathbun Company in Kingston, called daily and extended all possible sympathetic assistance. Rev. S. Houston, D.A. Shaw and other Christian endeavors of Cook’s church were also ever ready with kind attentions. Mrs. Day, mother of the deceased, and John, his brother, arrived a day or two before his death,. They both spoke highly of the kindness of the hospital staff.Deceased, who was only 24 years of age, was the son of Thomas Day and was one of ten children. He was born in Pickering township, but afterward removed with his parents to Shanty Bay, Co. Simcoe. Having received a good public school education he took a course in the Owen sound Business College. He subsequently acted as stenographer in the law office of Kilborne & Kilborne, Owen Sound. About four years ago he came to Deseronto to fill a position on the stenographic staff. The duties of this position were always performed with great diligence and to the entire satisfaction of his employers, who held him in the highest esteem. He connected himself with the Presbyterian congregation and became an active worker in the Christian Endeavor Society, which owed much of its success to his efforts in enlisting others in its ranks. He was also chosen a member of the board of managers. At an early stage of its history he was led to take a deep interest in the work of the West End Mission. He aided the different missionaries in charge of superintending the work of the Sabbath school. During the past winter, and in the absence of missionaries, he conducted the services and visited the people. His unselfish devotion to this work, and the true spirit of consecration which he displayed were a source of blessing to the Mission. He won the love and confidence of the people, and his work there will never be forgotten. The people of all denominations recognized his abilities as a Christian worker, and all unite in lamenting his early cutting off. It was his own wish as well as that of his mother that he should be buried in Deseronto. Accordingly, Mr. Rathbun very kindly sent the steamer Armenia to Kingston on Sunday morning. A number of friends were aboard. The casket containing the remains was followed to the steamer by a number of Kingston friends, including ten nurses from the hospital. The Armenia reached Deseronto at 8 p.m., a large assembly of people being at the dock. Mrs. Day, mother of the deceased, and her son John, accompanied the remains from Kingston. The funeral took place on Monday, at 11 a.m. The casket was taken direct from the boat to the Deseronto cemetery, a large number of rigs following. The bearers were: J.K. Clark, Fred Knight, John Bennett, William Knight, Richard Price & Fred McKee. At the cemetery a large congregation has assembled, including many from the West End Mission. Religious services were conducted by Rev. W.S. McTavish, B.D., pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, who in his address paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the deceased, referring to his work in the West End Mission. He expressed the hope that other young men would be inspired to carry on the work in which the deceased has been engaged. The singing was leg by the choir of the West End Mission, Mrs. Sim’s presiding at the organ. An opportunity was then given to friends to view the face of the deceased and the remains were then deposited in their last resting place.
Day	Charles H.	21/08/1896	In Memoriam: Mr. J.K. Clark, of the West End Mission, referred to the death of Charles H. Day at the evening service last Sunday. The congregation present were much affected as he spoke of one whom they held in such high esteem. Mr. Clark spoke as follows: – AThe gloom which overshadows us tonight was a dark cloud and excludes from our minds every other thought impels me to speak of him whose death was so deeply mourn. The life of Charles H. Day, which was so well filled with many and Christian work, will long be remembered and cherished by the people of the West End Mission. The expression of sympathy which have been called forth by the premature close of that life have forced upon me, more than ever before, the thought that we are a congregation, one people, members of one body, and bound together by the indissoluble tie of Christian friendship. We can henceforth realize more clearly the beauty and truth of the words we sometimes sing: – >Best be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.= Our sorrows, or prayers, our hopes are one and our heart cords vibrate in unison, when a life, so young and so promising is snatched away from us, all members of the body of which it is but one, receive a shock. It is a turn of the wheel of God;’s Providence which we cannot understand. We see the question looming up before us, Is There a Diving Purpose in the world, or is mere chance guiding human affairs?=His life, we say, is a mere broken column, But even if that be son, what right have we to say that it is imperfect or incomplete? Better be a broken column than a mere unshapen block. In that great building of regenerated humanity the Master needs stones of every shape and column of every height. He is the Architect and Judge of the material. As Christians, we live by faith, believing that fate or accident has no place in our lives, but that all is from God’s hand. Like the >man after God’s own heart=, we would rather bow submissively and say: >I was dumb; I opened not my mouth, because Thou didst it.= The name of the Father, from whose Hand the cup of joy or sorrow comes, is Love. Why should we wonder then at Christ’s words when in His Glory: >The cup which my father hath given me, shall I not drink of it?=What short but useful life is speaking to many souls tonight. It still lives in every life with which it has communion of soul or had influenced in any way. And this life which survives death may accomplish greater works than we know of now. Such was the case with Samson. So has it been with men greater than Samson. Long life consists not in prolonging of days, but in days – be they few or many – well filled with noble work. But while it is easy for us to see the great work of the Divine Purpose may accomplish through the death of a faithful servant, we must not forget the future life. God does not waste any life which h has carefully prepared for eternity. The crumbs and the fragments he gathers up and cares for – much more His dear children. He is the God of our tot of the dead, but of the living. Death, therefore, brings us near to Him, and Paul was able to say: >For me to live is Christ, but to die is gain.= Christianity; at that time, the world over, seemed to depend upon the life of Paul; yet for him and for every true Christian it is gain to die? And why? Because death has lost its sting and the grave knows no linger any victory. To the Christlike, no hell; to the unchristlike, no heaven. For all who mourn, gods priceless gift remains. It will recall to us the numberless kind acts – some seen, many unseen – which marked a life so full and so pleasing to its Master. May the memory of his face teach us gladness, many the memory of his smile dispel our gloom. May memory bring back to us the eye that flashed with indignation at every wrong; that softened at every tale of sorrow. And in these visions of that beautiful life may heaven grant us grace to catch its inspiration – so that we may obtain an increasing fullness of the spirit of our Saviour – with which he was so largely blessed.?
