Death of Mr. L.L. Lazier ,
Playmate of the Premier One of the Last of the Survivors of the Original U.E. Loyalists - A Man Who Was Long Lived and Who Was Universally Esteemed - He was Well-to-do

Lewis Lazier Bogart died at his late residence at Gosport on Dec. 24th. He was one of the last of the first generation of descendants of the U.E. Loyalists in this section, his father being one of the company who landed at Adolphustown in 1776, over a century ago. He was born within a mile of the place where he lived, having purchased and settled with his bride, Elizabeth Cronk, over 53 years ago, and by industry and frugality hewed out for himself a comfortable home and accumulated considerable property, the most of which he had already given to his family, retaining only sufficient to keep him comfortable in his old age. He was one of a large family of eleven children, five of whom were older and five younger than himself. He outlived them all, though most of them were given a long life. His grandfather was in his 87th years, grandmother 93, his father 82, mother nearly 102 years. Four of his brothers passed three score and fifteen years, one nearly four score. He possessed a splendid constitution, was never sick, and in regard to build and physique was a perfect type of man, and might have lived many years had it not been for his ambition and desire to perform work beyond his strength, which brought a cold with congestion and inflammation which ended fatally. He had only three children, the late Mortimer C. Bogart, Mrs. J.B. McMullen and Marshall Bogart. His widow survives him. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church for over half a century, and class leader in the church he helped to build, and took such an interest in for over twenty-five years. He was a conservative in politics, being a playmate and friend of Sir John A Macdonald. He always supported his party, and always persistently declined being mixed up in municipal politics or being honored with municipal office. He was universally esteemed, and was widely known outside of his own county. His life was one of peace and good will toward man, and his death just what he long prayed for, that he might not suffer long. His funeral was largely attended on Thursday by sorrowing relatives and sympathetic friends, the funeral sermon being preached by Rev. F.E. Howard, and the remains conveyed to the VandeBogart vault.
