After a long, brave and patient struggle with that dread disease, consumption, Harry L. Ingles, barrister, passed away quietly to rest on Monday. Deceased was a son of the late Rev. C.L. Ingles, who was rector of All saints church here for so many years. He leaves a widow (formerly Miss Warren of Fort Erie), mother, sister and two brothers-Miss Ingles, Rev. Chas, Ingles, rector of St. Mark’s church, Parkdale, and John Ingles, civil engineer and contractor, of the firm of Piggott & Ingles, Harry Ingles practiced law in Toronto, was a partner of the late barrister A.G. Hill and finally opened business on his own behalf, which he conducted until his death. He was honorable, ambitious, popular and his untimely death is universally regretted by the community in which he had lived for so many years. Mr. Ingles had been failing for several years, and visited Colorado, California and other western states in search of renewed health, but without avail. His nerve and ambition kept him at work long after his condition was too feeble to stand the strain, and he was only absent from his office a few weeks prior of his demise-in the harness to the last. The remains were interred at All Saints burial ground yesterday, Archdeacon Houston and Rev. Canon Bull conducting service in the church; a brief service having been previously held at the house. Members of the Oddfellows lodges and Sons of Scotland attended the services at the church as a last tribute of love and respect to a true and faithful brother.

This week has been a week of events following in quick succession, but the saddest of all was the announcement of Mrs. Walter Leany’s death early on Tuesday morning, at the St. Catharines hospital, where she had gone a few days ago to have an operation performed. Although her health had been poorly of late, yet her many friends did not realize that the angel of death was hovering so near.

On Saturday, April 24th, Mrs. John Brems, who had been a resident of this village for over twelve years, was buried. She had not been very strong, but no uneasiness about her health was felt. On Easter Sunday she attended the morning service at St. Paul’s church with her family and joined with the congregation in receiving the Holy Communion on the anniversary of out Lord’s resurrection. On Tuesday morning her daughter, Miss Brems, going into the room where her mother slept, found her lying on the floor in a semi-conscious state. All that medical skill could do was done to relieve the sufferer and recover her from her sudden seizure but with no avail, and she passed quietly away on Wednesday morning, God having taken her unto Himself. Mr. Brems, who is captain of a dredge working on the Cardinal canal, was telegraphed for and arrived by the 5.50 train Tuesday evening. He has been engaged for many years with the firm of contractors with whom he is now and has been employed on some of the great public works of Canada. It was while engaged on the Murray canal that he decided to make Brighton his permanent home. Mrs. Brems and he were both brought up in the county of Welland, where her father, Mr. Syrenus Nelson Pattison, was in general business. Her only brother, the Hon. Israel Pattison, M.D., lives in Oelwein, Iowa, and is a senator of that state. Mr. Brems parents came out from Germany, taking up land near the town of Welland and his brother still lives on the old homestead. Mr. Brems’ two sisters, Mrs. Sauter of Buffalo and Miss Caroline Brems of Olean, New York, both attended the funeral, also Mrs. Brems’ brother, Senator Pattison. The funeral service, which was held in St. Paul’s church, was largely attended by those who had known and respected the deceased. The familiar and beautiful service of the church of England was read by the Rev. A.G.E. Westmacott, who on entering the church heading the solemn procession recited the opening sentences which gave so much hope to the mourners. After which, hymn 135 was sung.
“Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
The strife is o’er, the battle done.
New is the victor, triumph won.”
The usual service was then proceeded with and the clergyman requested all to rise and join in repeating the Apostles creed, facing the east as a sign of their belief in the resurrection. At the close of the service the hymn, “O Paradise,” was sung. At the grave the rest of the service was conducted and the remains left in God’s keeping until the resurrection day. It would be well for us all to try and imitate the example of the deceased, by spending the last opportunity we have in God’s earthly courts and receiving the blessed sacrament of Christ’s redeeming love. Besides her husband she leaves two daughters and one son to mourn her loss.
*Note: The name Brems was also spelt Brimms in her sister, Margaret Sauter’s obituary.

Fell of Cleveland, Mrs. Carter of Akron, Miss Lambert, sisters of the widow, his two sisters, Mrs. Will of Woodstock and Susie J. Fell of Cleveland were also present.

Fell of Pelham. The obsequies took place at the grounds of the old Quaker church.
“All things that we love and cherish,
Like ourselves must fade and perish,
Such is our mortal lot.
Love itself would, did they not.
That those we love and so regret,
In brighter worlds worlds where none forget, Will soon welcome us yet.”
The family of the deceased do tender their sincere thankfulness for the kindness shown them by their many friends in this their time of bereavement.-COM.
