| 1202 |  | Retired man dies in apartment fire Retired man dies in apartment fire By NANCY PAUL Whig-Standard Staff Writer A 63-year-old Kingston man died early yesterday morning of smoke inhalation following a mattress fire in an apartment at 76 Pine St. Dead is Leland (Earl) Dunleavy. Firefighters found Dunleavy shortly after 6 am in his bed in the smoke-filled apartment. The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office is investigating the blaze. Smoking in bed is believed to be the cause of the fire. Kingston Fire Chief Cowdy said that the occupant had not installed a smoke detector in the apartment as required by city bylaw. “Compliance with the city bylaw is not only sensible but also life-giving” he said. “We get a lot of calls from neighbor who hear smoke alarms providing early notification of the problem”. A resident of the apartment next to Dunleavy’s said: "I guess I was the first to smell the smoke”. The woman who asked not to be identified said that she had risen early to go to work and noticed an acrid odor. When she discovered that the hallway was full of smoke she went upstairs to awaken superintendents Douglas and Valeries Niles. They called the fire department before using the master key to open the door to Dunleavy’s apartment, Mrs Niles said. However they were unable to enter the apartment because of dense smoke. Cowdy said that firefighters, wearing breathing equipment, made their way to the back of the apartment to the bedroom, where they discovered the dead man. "The fire was confined to the bed itself”, he said, adding that there was little fire damage to the building, only some smoke and water damage. Both the woman in the apartment next to Dunleavy’s and a neighbor ft om across the hall, Helen Bickell, said that they had arrived home at approximately midnight on Saturday night and had not noticed a smell of smoke. Niles said that she had gotten to know Dunleavy quite well in the three to four years that he had lived in the apartment building. Dunleavy had retired here from British Columbia, said Mrs Niles. Dunleavy is survived by brothers, Patrick, of Kingston and Lawrence and William of Brockville and sisters Helen Sheridan and Margaret Picotte, also of Brockville. He is also survived by several children, grandchildren, nieces and nephew. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. --The Kingston Whig-Standard, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, November 26, 1984 Page 15 | |

| 1213 | | Richard Oathout Richard Bruce Oathout, 81, of Lowell, VT died April 16, 2016 at North Country Hospital in Newport City, VT after a lengthy illness. He was born Sept 9, 1934 at home on Washout Road in Glenville, NY to the late Adelbert Arthur and Dorothea Jorgensen Oathout. He was one of nine children. Dick attended Rabbit Hollow School, a one-room school house on Washout Road and graduated from Scotia-Glenville High School, class of 1952. He was a veteran of the US Army and received a good conduct medal. He was a self-employed carpet installer until he retired. He is survived by his wife, Jean Mason Oathout, a son, John M Oathout, a granddaughter, Savanah Oathout and her mother, Leah Erceg and by his step-sons, Bill and Stephen Hull and his step-grandchildren Lynita, Mark, Benjamin, Anastasia, Matthew, Mark, Michael, Melissa, Miles, Chris and Tim. Richard is also survived by his sisters, Patricia Salvato-Wall, Eileen Baker, Maureen (Tom) Young and Carol Beaulac. Richard was predeceased by a step-son, David Hull, his siblings Dorothy Jean matthews, Theodore, Clifford and Adelburt Oathout and a nephew and a niece, Sherry Harwood and Eric Oathout. Dick loved to read. It was his passion. He also loved to write and sit and meditate. He saw beauty in rain drops on a window, in a sunrise and a sunset. He wrote " I can sit with a good book and travel anywhere in the world. I can see the sun rise and set in every corner of the world whether it be in England with Winston Churchill or the South Pacific with Gen. Douglas MacArthur in WWII." He also said "I always wanted to go to Alaska but it is okay, I have traveled all through Alaska in the books I read." About 48 hours before he died, Dick's son, John, other family members as well as some good friends of his, were gathered around his bed. He and a young friend reminisced about certain books they shared, how Dick inspired him to read and that was the fuel that opened doors for the young man to be all he is today. Dick was enjoying this time of reminiscing. He was smiling and interacting. As the room fell quiet, Dick looked from one to another, smiled and said "too bad I can only die once." A memorial service and interment will be at Gerald B. H. Solomon National Cemetery in Schuylerville, Saratoga County, NY on June 3 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any public library of your choice in memory of Richard B Oathout.

| 1233 | | Robert Roy King Robert Roy King was born on Feb 28, 1929 to parents Charles and Irene King (Bowser) in Melfort, Sk. Bob grew up on their farm four miles north of Carragana. He was the oldest son and shouldered much responsibility with his two older sisters (Verna and Jean) in daily farm life and family responsibility after his mother passed away much too soon at the age of 46 leaving behind 10 children, the youngest being 3 years of age (Marilyn). Bob attended McQuarrie School and could fondly recount many stories of his time there. On Oct 11, 1958 Robert Roy King married Meda Joyce Bracken from Codette, Sk. They were soon the proud parents of identical twin girls names Fernendel (Fern) and Ferleen. A few years later came their boy, Ian Robert Charles. Bob loved his little family very much and they loved him. Over the years Bob became a true jack-of-all-trades. He was honest and hardworking. He worked on a threshing crew for Mick Hobman. He farmed together many years with his father Charlie and his brother in law Mike Shyshka (Edna). He worked in Richardson's store in Nipawin. He drove gravel truck near Codette and worked in the bush near there several winters. He worked in Macleods here in Porcupine Plain as well as for the Co-op under Looi Bourgonje. He will also be remembered for the decades he spent as a school bus driver. Many of his passengers were of course the grandchildren of many of the neighbors he went to school with. His former passengers will no doubt remember that when asked if he would take them for ice cream he would comply and happily treat the whole busload of kids. Oh, and they would no doubt also remember that he had an almost inexhaustable supply of patience. Bob's heart though was in farming and he continued to do so up until a few short years ago. Bob was one of Jehovah's Witnesses and as such enjoyed visiting people with the Good News of God's Kingdom. (Matt. 24:14, Matt 28:19, 20) He was very active and dedicated to his busy spiritual schedule which brought him much joy. He liked to visit downhearted or sick ones and try to make them feel better and leave them with an uplifting thought from the Bible. Bob loved people and he loved to visit. He always looked for the good in people, was non-judgemental and always strove to find a common ground. He liked people to feel at ease around him. He was a good sport and a mild man. He loved living on his farm with his family 3 miles East of Porcupine Plain. He liked to be outdoors, working, tinkering, tidying things up or especially gardening. He enjoyed watching sports, especially curling and hockey. He liked watching western movies and his love of and knowledge of horses played a large part in this. He really enjoyed watching the chuckwagon and chariot races on the summer fair circuit and liked to cheer for the local outfits. Another highlight of his summer was being able to spend more time with his two grandsons Zachery and Nicolas (Dale and Ferleen). Bob also enjoyed spending time with his son-in-laws as well. He often spoke fondly of both Peter Smith (Fern) and Dale King (Ferleen). Recently he was very happy to attend his son Ian's wedding and was very proud to have Miranda as a new daughter along with Zackery, Ethan and Jenae as new grandchildren. As you can imagine, he was very much looking forward to spending time with and getting to know these new additions to his family. Bob had a fantastic sense of humor and a sharp wit. He appreciated a good, clever joke and could always see the lighter side of a situation which his siblings can attest to. Bob was close to all of his family members and barely a day would go by without him mentioning at least one of them. Bob will be remembered as a kind, humble, patient, selfless and easily contented man. (Prov. 10:22) He loved his whole family and especially his dear wife Meda, whom he just had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate their 57th Wedding Anniversary with, only one week before he fell ill. Although Bob experienced various trials throughout his life he never spoke of regret, but rather lived a full life that was overflowing with love, laughter, spirituality and contentment. He looked forward to the day when he would see his lost loved ones again on a paradise earth. Now we have one more reason to do the same. Bob will be so very dearly missed, but that is just simply because he was so very dearly loved. Bob was predeceased by his parents James Charles King and Leila Irene King (Bowser), sister Grace (Bell), sister Shirley (Andony). Bob is survived by his wife Meda King, daughter Fernendel Smith (Peter), daughter Ferleen King (Dale, Zachery, Nicolas), son Ian King (Miranda, Zackery, Ethan, Jenae), sister Jean Plante, sister Verna Anderson, brother Ken King (Helen), brother Del King (Angie), sister Edna Shyshka (Mike), brother Glen King (Beryl), sister Marilyn Jenkins (Richard) as well as numerous nephews and nieces. | |
