Mrs. Stanton D. Kirkham
- Mary Clark Williams, wife of Stanton
D. Kirkham, died at Milford, S. C., after an
illness of several years on Monday morning. The
remains are expected to arrive in Canandaigua early Friday morning,
and it is arranged that the funeral shall take place from the family home on
Howell Street on the same day. The Rev. Livingston L.
Taylor of the Congregational Church will conduct the service and the
interment will be at Woodlawn.
The young woman whose remains will be thus laid away on Good Friday
was the daughter of the late Captain George N. and Mrs.
Abigail Clark Williams, and the granddaughter of Governor Myron
H. Clark.
She was born in Canandaigua, November 3, 1869, and had always made
the village her home, though absent from it for extended periods while
traveling in this country or abroad, and more recently while seeking to avoid
the rigors of the northern climate. The memory of
her gracious presence and her kindly deeds is cherished
by many personal friends, and by the community in whose progress she was
deeply interested, and for whose welfare she was ever solicitous. So long as
her health permitted she was prominent in the social life of the village and
took an active and most helpful part in
church and public affairs.
She was until recently a member of the board of directors of the
Memorial Hospital, officiated for a number of years as treasurer of the board
of managers of the Clark Manor House, was a charter member and the first
treasurer of the Ontario County Historical Society, and through other
organizations and in other ways, spent unstintingly, time and strength and
means in unselfish service.
Miss Williams was united in
marriage on May 16, 1907, to Mr. Stanton
D. Kirkham, the author, who survives, as does also her little daughter,
Mary Clark Kirkham. Besides these, she leaves one
brother, the Hon. Clark Williams, of New York,
three aunts, Mrs. Samuel D. Backus of
Canandaigua, Mrs. Frederick F. Thompson, of New
York, and Miss Charlotte E. Clark of Canandaigua,
and an uncle, Lorenzo E. Clark, Esq., of Detroit,
Mich.

R. R. SCOTT IN OHIO
Conducting a Hot Campaign in Behalf of President Taft
Hon. Royal R. Scott of
Canandaigua, is at Toledo, Ohio, where his political
astuteness and personal management of the canvass of John
N. Willys and Edward Libbey for election as Taft delegates from that
district to the Republican National Convention.
Mr. Willys, who spent his boyhood
in Canandaigua and is now president of the great Willys-Overland
Company at Toledo, has been prominently mentioned for the Republican
nomination for Governor of Ohio, and is an ardent supporter of President
Taft. In his maiden political speech, Thursday night, he declared that
if it is to his interest as a manufacturer to reelect Mr.
Taft, it is to the interest of laboring men to reelect him, and gave
this bit of personal history:
"I have been a laboring man all my life. I started in at
the bottom and worked up. I worked once for 25 cents per
day and that is
more than some of you have done. My father taught me to work
and paid me the 25 cents. He then made me buy my clothes with the money.
" I want to go to the Chicago convention and help nominate Mr.
Taft
because my best interests are at stake, and your best interests are at
stake."
Canandaigua friends of Mr. Willys,
who were fellow students with him in the Academy here,
predict that he will make a success as a politician and spellbinder. If he has
not lost the ability displayed in old time prize speaking contests, he is a
fluent and forceful speaker and quite at ease before an audience. They expect
to see him win hands down in next Tuesday's contest and later take a yet more
prominent and influential part in Buckeye state politics. Mr.
Scott, of course, can be depended upon
to be his loyal and efficient lieutenant.

ROBERT D. PATERSON
- Clerk of Canandaigua Town and a Prominent
Newspaper Worker
Robert Donald Patterson,
clerk of the town of Canandaigua and widely known as a
newspaper writer, died at his home on Chapin street in this city yesterday
morning about 10:30 o'clock.
Mr. Paterson had been in failing
health since last November, when he suffered a severe
attack of pneumonia, but had bravely kept at
his work until rapidly failing strength made him, six weeks
ago, a prisoner at home. Even then his brain and his hand kept busy and up
to within a few days of the end he performed his official duties and did
more or less writing.
Death was due to Bright's Disease, which finally prostrated
him a week ago Friday and rendered his end a question
only of a few days or hours.
Robert D. Paterson was a son of
the late James D. Paterson, for twenty
years a leading merchant in Canandaigua, and he was born here on August 31,
1873. He received his education in the Canandaigua union school, acted as a
paper carrier for the Times for several months, and then became an
apprentice at the printing trade in the Journal office, then under the
management of Mr. G. D. A. Bridgeman.
After working at printing for a number of years, Mr.
Paterson, in partnership with an older brother,
Lester S. Paterson, since
deceased, became part owner of the Ovid Independent, and
later assumed the sole control of that paper.
In 1898 he sold out his interests at Ovid and returned to Canandaigua
to reenter the service of the Journal in a reportorial capacity, a
connection which he afterward maintained, with the exception of about two
years which were spent partly as a legislative clerk at
Albany and partly in newspaper work at Buffalo. Since the
last mentioned city, he had been the associate editor of the Journal.
Mr. Paterson was a facile
writer, and in addition to his work on the Journal
acted as correspondent of several Rochester and Buffalo papers.
He was a public spirited citizen and had been identified with
various movements for the benefit of the community and
for the
protection and development of its higher interests. He
received the unanimous nomination of the Republican caucus in 1911 for town
clerk and was chosen for the office at the succeeding election by a large
majority.
He was an active member of the Baptist church, a worker in
the Canandaigua Health Association, and a member of
the local I. O. O. F. lodge. He was an earnest Republican in politics and
had served at various times on party committees and delegations.
Mr. Paterson is survived by his
wife, Sophia May Fellows, to whom
he was married on January 16, 1902, and by five children: Beatrice,
aged 10 years, Donald, aged 8, Helen,
aged 5, Ruth, aged 3, and James,
aged 2. His aged and totally blind mother, Mrs.
James D. Paterson, and a sister, Miss Grace
Paterson, also survive. To all these whom he had loved so devotedly
and to the community which he had served so faithfully, the loss sustained
in his death is irreparable.
The funeral will take place from the home on Chapin street at
3 o'clock on Thursday, the Rev. G. R. Dye of the
Baptist church,
officiating. The interment will be at Woodlawn.

+ Death of Well Known Newspaper Man
Robert D. Paterson of Canandaigua,
died at his home in Chapin street, in that city on
Tuesday, September 1st, aged forty years. Death was caused by Bright's disease
and his condition had been critical for some time past.
Mr. Paterson was one of the best
known newspaper men in this section. He started in the
business as an apprentice in the office of
the Ontario County Journal, and worked his way up until he
became associate editor and advertising manager of that paper.
For eighteen months he was telegraph editor of the Buffalo
Evening News, and for several months he conducted the
Ovid Independent. His news articles were noted for their terse, crisp style.
Desiring to return to Canandaigua Mr.
Paterson resigned his position with the Buffalo
Evening News. He afterward declined tempting offers from out of town papers
and continued his work in Canandaigua. At the time
of his death he was associate editor of the Ontario County
Journal and clerk of the town of Canandaigua.
Besides his wife, Mr. Paterson is
survived by five children, his mother and a sister, all
of Canandaigua. Members of the newspaper
fraternity mourn his death and extend their sympathy to the
bereaved family.
+ Brought to Old Home for Burial - Charles
Simonds of Jacksonville, Fla., formerly of Victor, arrived in
town, Tuesday morning, bringing with him for interment in Boughton Hill
cemetery, the body of his brother, Shepard Simonds,
who died at his home in Daytona, Fla., on June 28th.
About a year ago, Shepard Simonds,
with his mother, Mrs. Nellie Simonds,
made the trip from Florida to Victor with the remains of his brother,
James. The father, Burton Simonds, who
died some years ago, was a brother of George and C. L.
Simonds of this village.
