Submitted by Lily Worrall DEATH OF MR. GEORGE M. CRITES [with picture]
The death of Mr. George M. Crites, of his Majesty's Customs Service, which occurred on Friday the 17th inst., [17 Jun 1910] removes from our midst one of Cornwall's oldest and most highly esteemed residents. Although in his seventy-fourth year, he was about and apparently in the enjoyment of his usual health until within a few days of his demise and the announcement of his passing away was a shock to the community in which he was so universally respected. The late Mr. Crites was born in the Township of Cornwall on Jan. 7th, 1837. When a young man, he went to the Georgian Bay District and engaged in the lumber business. After spending some time there he returned to his old home, and a few years later he married Catharine Eamer, eldest daughter of the late Matthias Eamer. His wife died less than two years ago. Shortly after their marriage they took up residence in the Town of Cornwall and Mr. Crites was engaged with the late Andrew Hodge, contractor, who at that time had the contract for the building of the piers at the head of the Longue Sault Rapids. He was also with Mr. Hodge when that gentleman was building the Stormont Cotton Mill, which was destroyed by fire in 1874, being afterwards rebuilt. Mr. Crites was appointed by the Dominion Government as Inspector of Weights and Measures, a position he filled for two years, and on removal of the office to Ottawa he was appointed to the position of Customs Inspector, holding the office until his death. Mr. Crites was an ardent supporter of athletics and always took an active interest in the Cornwall Lacrosse Club being a member of the Executive Committee of that organization for a number of years. Several of his sons were prominent among the players of the team in its palmiest days, assisting in winning first the intermediate championship and then the senior championship of the world. He was a prominent member of several fraternal societies, having served Financier of Cornwall Lodge, A.O.U.W., for twenty-one years, during which time he devoted himself most zealously to the advancement of the interests of this very worthy order. The members have given proof of their appreciation of the valuable service he rendered in his lifetime, and they marked their warm regard for him by an exceedingly large assemblage at the funeral to pay a parting tribute of respect. There was also a very representative gathering of the citizens generally and the cortege was one of the largest ever seen in Cornwall. The service, at Trinity (Memorial) Church, was conducted by the Rector, Rev. J. T. Stiles. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Roland Snetsinger, Alex. Eamer, J. B. Atchison, A. E. Evans, John McCracken and David Lewars. The late Mr. Crites is survived by ten children, six sons and four daughters, all of whom were with him in his last days with the exception of one daughter, Miss Clara Crites, who resides in California. The other members of the family are Messrs. Walter, Donald and George O. of Cornwall; John, of Lewiston, Me.; Wm. P. and David M., of Montreal; Mrs. J. A. McRae, Sarnia, Ont.; Mrs. Wallace Carpenter and Mrs. David Girey, Cornwall. The six sons are all men of stalwart build and they formed a conspicuous group in the funeral procession as they followed the remains of their father to the grave. Many beautiful flowers were sent by sympathizing friends of the family.

Walter Cryderman of Thamesville Respected by All Who Knew Him
Thamesville and community have lost a highly respected and valued citizen in the passing of Walter Cryderman which occurred Monday morning [27 Jan 1936] at his late residence No. 21 Highway. He had been in poor health for the last two years from the effects of a stroke so his death was not altogether unexpected although sudden at the end. Mr. Cryderman was the son of John and Catherine Roe Cryderman who were pioneer settlers of the River Road, Camden township. There were three brothers William, Nathan and Walter who was the youngest and one sister Sarah Jane who married Harry Lawrence and afterward moved to Michigan. Walter was born on the hold homestead Jan. 15, 1859 in Camden township. He was educated at Thamesville Public and High school and London Commercial College. Securing a teacher's certificate he taught school at the Red school house base line Camden for four years, later farming on the old homestead, But teaching and farming were too slow for one of his energetic dispositions and he secured the position of clerk-clerk treasurer for the school board both of which he held for many years with credit and satisfaction to himself and the village. He also added insurance and conveyancing and was also conceded the best auctioneer in the country. His life was a useful and busy one and he had the faculty of gaining the confidence and friendship of everyone with whom he conducted business. He was also a keep horseman having owned and raced some of the best blood in Ontario successfully.

DUVALL, James Arthur

Submitted by Marg McFarlaneNewington
James Arthur Duvall This village on Sunday, April 3, 1927, lost one of its most venerable and respected citizens in the person of James Arthur Duvall. The late Mr. Duvall was born in Lunenburg on May 12, 1837, being in his 90th year at the time of his death. He had resided here for the past 53 years. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, one son and two daughters, - Frank N. Duvall, Chelsea, Quebec; J. W. Duvall, Newington; and Mrs. A. C. Jardine, Newington, and also one sister, M. A. Duvall, Newington. Mr. Duvall was married at Thorold, Ontario on October 11, 1870 to Amelia C. Secord, the ceremony being performed by Rev. M. Armstrong. For a short time he lived at Dunville, Ontario, and a little over 50 years ago he and his wife moved to this village, which has since been their home. Here he was engaged in the lumbering and saw mill business, and of late years was engaged in the manufacture of cheese boxes. Mr. & Mrs. Duvall were among the pioneers of Newington, there being only three or four houses here when they came, and no churches or school. Deceased was most energetic, not only in his business, but in the promotion of the religious and educational needs of the community and was one of the first members of the local Methodist Church. He was a kind and loving husband and father, a good Neighbor, and behind every move which had for its object the betterment of the community. In his religious duties he was most attentive, being regular at the Sunday and mid-week services, and Sunday School, while he was a strong worker for the cause of temperance. On the occasion of his 83rd birthday, he was presented with a handsome cane by his employees. Although he had been in failing health for a number of years, he suffered little, if any, pain and never murmured nor complained and met trouble or joy with a calm, peaceful smile and, as his former Pastor said, "his going was just a passing over". For many years, Mr. Duvall held the position of Magistrate. His manner was ever kind, and no one ever heard him use a vile or profane word. His life in the community was one long chapter of cleanliness, sobriety, ambition and Godliness. The funeral took place on April 5, 1927, from his late residence to the Methodist United Church and Hillcrest Cemetery here and was very largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev. George Wood of Chelsea, a former pastor, Rev. G. F. Duncan, resident pastor, and Rev. A. Bishop, of Escott, a former pastor. The pallbearers were Barney Rombough, Asaph Hawn, Walter Reddick, Cecil Paupst, Colborne Thompson, and Harold Thompson, employees of J. Duvall and Son.

Recovering from a serious illness from pneumonia during January last and in her usual health up to Easter, Mrs. Matthias Eamer, one of the oldest residents of Cornwall, died at her home 521 Gloucester street, at 10.20 o'clock Friday night. [16 April 1937] Mrs. Eamer's death severs a link with the past in this section, as she was born at the Toll Gate and would have reached her 91st birthday had she been spared until May 3 [or 8. Neither of which match 1901 census.] Up to the first of the year Mrs. Eamer had enjoyed remarkably good health for a woman of her age and was quite smart and active. During recent weeks time began to take its toll and the machinery of life gradually weakened until death came peacefully Friday night. Mrs. Eamer, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Carpenter, was a daughter of Solomon Carpenter and was a member of one of the pioneer families of this district. She spent her long and useful life between the old home section and Cornwall, making her home here since her marriage 69 years ago. She was one of the original members of the Church of the Good Shepherd and for many years was actively associated with the Ladies' Guild of that church. In her own home circle she was a devoted wife and mother, a woman ever ready to do a kindly act for neighbor [sic] or friend, and she enjoyed the love and esteem of all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Her death will be regretted by her many friends. Her husband died August 7, 1932. Left to mourn her loss are three sons and three daughters - Mrs. Hugh Adams, Marcellus, N.Y.; Mrs. George Warner, Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. Margaret Doyle, Perth; John Eamer, David Eamer and Alexander Eamer, all of Cornwall. She also leaves three brothers - Matthias Carpenter, and George Carpenter, Cornwall; Wallace Carpenter, Cornwall Centre. She also had four great grandchildren - Mary Adams, Toronto; Jean Melson, Cornwall; William and James Johnston, of Youngstown, Ohio. Funeral Monday Attended by many old friends of the family, the funeral was held from her home, Monday afternoon to the Church of the Good Shepherd and Woodlawn cemetery. The service was conducted by Rev. A. D. Floyde, rector. The pall bearers were J. J. McCutcheon, Alex. Adams, William Munroe, Alex. Perier, David McCracken and Lindsay Kirkey.

The family also received many messages of condolence.

Moulinette Woman Suffers Heart Attack At Her Home
Returning from the post office, where she had gone to mail a letter, Mrs. George Ellis, highly respected resident of Moulinette, was seized with a severe heart attack and died within a few minutes, about 7.30 o'clock last night, at the family home. While Mrs. Ellis had been troubled with her heart, she had not suffered a severe attack for three years, being in her usual health and able to be about all the time. She had been in Cornwall yesterday afternoon to attend the funeral of Kenneth D. Sheets, from Miller's funeral home to Mille Roches cemetery, greeting friends there in her usual affable manner and giving no indication that within a few hours death would visit her home. She partook of the evening meal with members of the family, and later left for the post office. On her return, about 7.15 o'clock, she asked members of the family to call a doctor, as she felt a heart attack coming on. Dr. G. E. Moodie, of Wales, and Dr. J. A. McGuire, of Cornwall, were summoned, the former reaching the house within a few minutes and being joined by Dr. McGuire a little later. The doctors worked over Mrs. Ellis for some time in hope of reviving her, but to no avail. Rev. James A. Wylie, parish priest at Dickinson's Landing, was summoned and reached the home in a few minutes. Mrs. Ellis died about 7.30 o'clock. Her sudden death came as a shock not only to the family, but to friends she had met at the funeral during the afternoon and those who had seen her on her way to and from the post office a few minutes before. Mrs. Ellis was born at Northfield 53 years ago last December 20, a daughter of Peter Tilton and his wife, Viola Gallinger, her maiden name being Maude Tilton. She spent the early part of her life in Northfield. She was married to Mr. Ellis 33 years ago, at Massena, and they resided there a few years before taking up residence at Moulinette 27 years ago.

John Reuben Gallinger died in Wisconsin leaving wife Annie May Chapple and 4 kids. The two boys Harvey "Harry"Gallinger, President, Door Catch Company, Superior, Wisconsin In 1920, and Hiram "Bernie" Gallinger, Proprietor, Superior Door Catch Company, Superior (Douglas) Wisconsin In 1920, were very much involved in the Door Catch Company. But I cannot see where she fits in unless she is simply a Calhoun girl whose sister is Mae Gallinger Fyckes - should that be Mae Calhoun Gallinger Fyckes.] [Arlene Frolick writes: There must be a connection here, and it's so good of you to catch this connection to Fickes.
