?b?Death Was Due to Asphyxiation.
?/b?One of the saddest enquiries that has ever come before a coronor's jury in this city was the inquest yesterday on the bodies of Mrs. Thomas Bryson, of Fort Coulonge near Ottawa, and her 11-year -old granddaughter. The deceased and her grnd-child arrived in the city on Monday evening and at once went to the residence of Mrs. White, 388 Mountain street, where they had been expected as guests. At 11 o'clock in the evening both retired, and when morning came they were dead. Investigation at the inquest showed that the deaths were due to asphyxiation through a leaking gas cock. The evidence showed that the cock was loose and turned completely around, and the presumption was that the deceased lady, after turning the gas off, had turned it on again. The Jury decided that the deaths were purely accidental, and returned a vertict to that effect, with no blame attached to the residents of the house. the deceased is a relative of Hon. George Bryson, and of Mr. John Bryson, M.P for Pontiac.


?b?Jane Fumerton & Robina Bryson Obituary
?/b?
Sad Fate of Mrs Thos Bryson and Granddaughter.

The bodies of Mrs Thomas Bryson and her grandchild, of Fort Coulonge, who were asphyxiated in Montreal last Monday night were taken to Fort Coulonge for interment.

The story of how Mrs. Bryson and her grandchild met their death is peculiarly sad. Mrs. Bryson who is 60 years of age, with her grandchild, 11 years old, were visiting a friend, Mrs. White at 388 Mountain street, Montreal. Mrs Bryson, when she retired about 11 o'clock, was in the best of health and spirits. In order to prevent any accident, Mrs. White went to Mrs Bryson's room and showed her how to turn off the gas. This was the last time Mrs. Bryson was seen alive. At 6 o'clock next morning Mrs. White and her daughter prepared breakfast, expecting that their guests would be down about 7 o'clock. Leaving her daughter and her son, Mr. R. White, of the Royal Electric Co. to wait breakfast for Mrs. Bryson and her grandchild, Mrs. White left the house for half an hour to make some small purchases. When she returned shortly after 7 o'clock she was told by her daughter that Mrs. Bryson and her grandchild were still in their room. "Well, they must be tired and we shall let them sleep a little longer," replied Mrs. White. The time wore on, yet not a sound was heard from Mrs. Bryson's room. Finally, a little after 8 o'clock, Mrs. White went up to the room, knocked at the door several times and called her friend's name but got no response. Her fears were then aroused and she called to her son and daughter to come and see if anything was wrong. Mr. White opened the door in great agitation and rushed into the room, followed by his mother and sister. The room was full of gas, which for an instant made them draw back half choked. A heartrending picture met their view. Lying on the bed, dead, were Mrs. Bryson and her grandchild. The little one's head lay on her grandmother's arm in a restful manner; she looked just as if asleep. Mrs. White ran over to the bedside, took the little one's hand and Mrs. Bryson's in her own, and then cried out in terrified tones, "They are cold. They are both dead." Mr. White ran at once for Dr. Cameron, but medical aid could do nothing. The doctor examined the room and found that the gas had not altogether been turned off. An inquest was held and the jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. Investigations showed that the deaths were due to a leaking gas cock which was loose and had been turned completely around. It is supposed old Mrs. Bryson turned the gas off and then accidently turned it on again. The late Mrs. Bryson is mother-in-law of Mr John Bryson, M.P., and the child his only daughter. The child was about eleven years of age, and very active. Her mother died about a year ago.

The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Bryson evincing the deep sympathy felt for the family in their double bereavement.

Jane married Thomas Bryson in 1853 in Fort Coulonge, Pontiac County, Quebec, Canada. Thomas (son of James Bryson and Jane Cochran) was born in 1826 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 4 Jan 1882 in Fort Coulonge, Pontiac County, Quebec, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

?b?James Fumerton's Death?/b?
In a will dated 1871-04-05 (a few days before his death ) he left his estate to his wife and after she died to be equally divided between their children William John; James Henry; Thomas Alexander; and David Lockart. The will uses the Fummerton spelling but is signed with his mark so James was illiterate. It would appear that James died following some kind of accident as his death was sudden. Allegedly he died from the effects of fighting "the great fire".

Buried with his wife at St. Filians Cemetery, Beckwith Twp. Grave stone suggests be was born 1830. Death notice in Perth Courier dated 1871-05-05 indicates James was 40 yrs on his death. James is also buried in the same plot, C4, as his sons Wm J. Fumerton and James H. Fumerton and daughter Margaret J. Fumerton.

?b?Homesteading?/b?
Marion together with her family took part in homesteading the Northwest Territories as part of a large exudus of families from the Lanark County area of Ontario. These homesteaders banded together in loose family groups or "clans" with a similar history such as decendents Scottish setlers. In Marion and Hugh's case they made three attemtps to homestead in the Prairies with trips back to Ramsay Township between each attempt.

Marion and Hugh's first attempt to homestead in the 1870s was in an area that is close to the present town of Emerson, Manitoba. Their second attempt was near Pilot Mound, Manitoba which was done together with members of the Heatherington family from Ramsay Twp, Ontario. Then in 1882 Marion, Hugh and some of their children homesteaded in the Armstrong Lake area in the Northwest Territories. Initially they homesteaded together with Marion's sister Jane and her family and were later joined by Marion's youngest brother Duncan. At that time the railhead of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was at Whitewood and the family group had to 'trek' north to the area near the York Colony.

The orgiinal settlement at Armstrong Lake (Lakes) was renamed Rokeby when the CPR tracks on the northern spur line was extended from Saltcoats to Yorkton, NWT and the CPR arbitarily named the station Rokeby rather than the name of the settlement i.e. Armstrong Lake. (The present city of Yorkton is located just to the south of the old settlement of York Colony or Yorktown)

While Hugh was away serving with the militia, Marion was able to prove up the homestead which she named Rosemount and ran the farm when her husband returned home wounded. Initially Marion and her family lived in soddies but with time hauled logs in to build a log house. Then Marion was one of the first in Saskatchewan to order a prefabricated frame house from British Columbia that was shipped to Rokeby in a boxcar and assembled on the farm. This frame house is still in use as the family home.

Marion returned to Almonte, Ontario for the 1905 Reunion when many family members reunited for a short while.

Marion married Hugh Samuel Lockhart on 6 Nov 1857 in Almonte, Lanark County, Canada West. Hugh (son of William Lockhart and Elizabeth Barr) was born on 5 May 1835 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland; was christened on 7 Jun 1835 in Low Church, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland; died on 15 Mar 1893 in Yorkton, Yorkton Census Division, Saskatchewan, Canada; was buried in 1893 in Rosemount Cemetery, Yorkton Census Division, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Mr. John Fumerton

By the death of Mr. John Fumerton, who passed away on Monday morning at the advanced age of eighty-eight years and three months, Kelowna lost an old and respected citizen who until a few months ago was a familiar figure on the streets moving about with a wonderful degree of activity considering his years.

Mr. Fumerton was born on a farm in the Township of Ramsay, County of Lanark and in his early youth and early manhood he followed agricultural pursuits, later entering mercantile life and operating a general store business at Fallbrook, Ont. for many years. Migrating to Holland Manitoba he was engaged in trade there for about ten years and upon retiring from active business he came to Kelowna twelve years ago with his son Mr. J.F. Fumerton.

He had been confined to his room since Christmas and his decline was gradual and the end painless, being due simply to old age. Member of a remarkably long-lived family, Mr Fumerton is survived by five brothers, two of them resident in Ontario and three in Saskatchewan. His wife predeceased him many years ago. He leaves two sons, Mr. J.F. Fumerton of Kelowna, and Mr. D.J. Fumerton of Penticton, and one daughter, Mrs J.W. Stewart of Ottawa Ont.

After a short service at the undertaking parlours of the Kelowna Furniture Company on Wednesday morning conducted by Rev. A.K. McMinn, the body was dispatched for burial at Holland where the late Mrs. Fumerton is interred, Mr. J.F. Fumerton accompanying it. The deceased having been a member of the craft, the committal at Holland will be made with Masonic Honours.

John married Janet Turner on 17 Jan 1861 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Janet (daughter of Francis Turner and Mary Nairn) was born on 17 Jan 1836 in New York, United States; died on 21 Apr 1912; was buried in 1912 in Brookdale Cemetery, Holland, Central Manitoba Census Division, Manitoba, Canada.
