  Death of Warren Fairman
  Resident of This Section For Nearly a Century
  
  Died at his residence, Church Street, last Tuesday evening, Mr. Warren Fairman, age 93 years. Mr. Fairman was the last of those who may be termed, “first residents” of Gananoque, though he was born on Howe Island in the next county Frontenac. But, much of his youth and later years was spent here. He was the last of those, who had a personal acquaintance with Col. Stone: the founder and first settler of this town.
  
  He was son of a farmer, but in early times, every farmer was of necessity a lumberman, rafts man, mechanic and general laborer – and always after he grew up, he owned and worked a farm, till he became too old to manage it. When he was a young boy, he came to Gananoque and was apprenticed to Mr. Charles Hepp, a wagon maker and general carpenter. Mr. Hepp had at that time a shop and residence on the lot now occupied by D. Root’s store on King Street; and it is the same house, though brick has been built to it. The blacksmith shop in which the iron work of wagons was done, was just in the rear of the present Methodist Church. Both buildings stood in the woods, the ground being cleared for the erection. Mr. Hepp, built the wooden Methodist Church in 1836, on the site of the present one; and Mr. Fairman, did some of the present work, particularly in building the pulpit, which was a paneled round gallery standing on four posts against the rear wall of the building and reached by stairs. Fairman, who had learned the trade, went back to his farm and built a wagon shop and blacksmith shop on the opposite side of the road, just west of the line between Leeds and Frontenac. There for many years, he supplied most of the wagons and carriages, used in this section. All the work, both in wood and iron, had to be done by hand. When the new county in the north of Frontenac, was opened up, Mr. Fairman went out and took up land for lumbering purposes. In 1868, he built a sawmill in Gananoque; it was burned and rebuilt and operated till the scarcity of logs made it unprofitable, when the lot and power were sold to Mr. Giles, as the site of the present Giles factory.
  
  During the rebellion of 1837, Mr. Fairman was enlisted in the Dragoons, a mounted force that did patrol service. He was intimate with Sir John McDonald, who successfully conducted several lawsuits for him; and his admiration for Sir John’s legal talents, probably established his politics as he was firm in his opinion that “John A. “ could do no wrong. He was second cousin to Sir James Whitney, who in his youth lived for a time with Mr. Fairman’s family and attended county school in Pittsburgh.
  
  In 1838, Mr. Fairman, married Miss Elizabeth Barnett, a school teacher here but whose home was near Depauville, NY. She died a few years ago. The family consisted of Frederick, who was a leading hardware merchant and manufacturer, Montreal, deceased. Daniel, a retired Post Office employee, who resides here. Warren, deceased, William M., on the homestead farm; Alfred, now a farmer, in Saskatchewan, Mrs. Forsey, California, Miss Allison, Gananoque, Mrs. E. H. Ellis, Winnipeg, Mrs. C. W. Taylor, Gananoque. Mr. Fairman enjoyed good health all his life and was seldom incapitated from attending to business. Even after he passed 90 years of age, noted on the streets here, for a brisk springy walk and active movements. His illness commenced only 8 days previous to his death. The funeral took place on Monday last.
