Death of Mr. Fred. Chinneck. – One of the few remaining business men of the early days of Napanee, 50 years ago, passed away early Sunday morning in the person of Fred Chinneck, at the age of 73 years, after a six months illness. He was active in his business until last November. This was his first and only illness due no doubt to his regular and conservative habits of living and fortunately he suffered no pain during his sickness. Born in Devonport, Devonshire, England, he came to Ontario a boy of about 9 years, with his parents, and lived in the County of Wellington till grown up. He came east to Napanee in 1873, and established the Jewellery business which still bears his name. He was a lifelong Conservative and a member of the Church of England, and leaves to mourn his loss a son and daughter in the business here, and daughter, Mrs. Foley, in Medicine Hat, Alta. Owing to the fact that the Rev. Mr. Coleman had to be away on Tuesday, the funeral was held on Monday afternoon.
