Simon King - Simon was born in Nipissing, August 15, 1918, the youngest son of Anna (Perry) and William King. While logging in Port Loring he met Isabel Lambkins. The two were soon married and they settled their home near Nipissing. Over the years Simon worked in the logging camps for Odorizzis, Ellesmeres, Stephens and Duff Moore. After the breakdown of Simon's first marriage he married Evelyn Hummel. Together they ran a mink farm and Simon kept a small stable for work horses that he hired out. Through the years Simon became a trucker as he transported cattle, milk and gravel. He also handled a mail run, and trucked logs and pulp wood. Eventually the trucking took prominence and Simon bought his own rig. He served as a broker for such companies as Caustic, Kingsway, Motorway and Nickel City but over the 25 years he operated his truck he kept returning to Kingsway. His trucking was done mostly in Ontario. Throughout his life Simon liked to invest his money, and did so in various endeavours such as home construction, real estate and the stock market. He like to play cards and enjoyed his membership in the Golden Sunshine Club. He especially enjoyed the seniors dances. Simon had his own unique viewpoint on most everything and was free to share it! He was his own boss!

Sister of First Victim Speaks Out About Rare Disease's Canadian Connection
It's a rare but life-threatening infection spread to humans by tiny ticks encountered in the woods or backyard gardens. And this summer, a Powassan virus health scare in the U.S. prompted a New York senator, American medical authorities and even the New York Times to warn of an urgent need for better research, prevention and treatment strategies to combat a pathogen that's on the rise 'perhaps due to climate change' throughout the Great Lakes region.
But the virus that grabbed headlines south of the border in August has a tragic Canadian connection that explains its name and still haunts a Northern Ontario family that, in 1958, suffered the sudden loss of a four-year-old son and brother from what was then an unknown infectious agent.
At the same time, however, the child's death gave science what remains its key weapon against the virus: a test developed by Canadian microbiologists to identify the deadly organism, which attacks the central nervous system and can cause fatal or crippling encephalitis 'brain swelling' in about 30 per cent of those who develop symptoms.
For more than 50 years, the first documented victim of the disease, a preschooler from Powassan, Ont., a small town about 20 kilometres south of North Bay, has been referenced only anonymously in medical reports and scientific journals. In keeping with privacy rules, medical investigators kept descriptions of the boy and his final days clinically bare: During the afternoon of the fourth day after onset, noted the landmark 1959 study that announced the isolation of the Powassan virus, the patient suddenly stopped breathing. He was placed immediately in an artificial respirator. Spontaneous respiration did not recommence.
But now, the boy's 65-year-old sister, just 10 at the time of her brother's death, has spoken publicly for the first time about the anguish of a family tragedy now immortalized in the name of a fatal infection, one now expected to appear in more headlines in the coming years.
And when Sue Cossar remembers the September 1958 passing of her little brother, Lincoln Brian Byers, her words convey an enduring grief, but also a hint of solace that doctors, while initially confounded by the boy's death, were able to discover, at least, what took his life.
"He was an amazing little guy," said Cossar, who was second-youngest of the nine Byers children and had a special fondness for Lincoln, next in line and the 'baby' of the family.
"He loved picking berries," she said. "He was a really good kid. It was very hard on my Mom and Dad."
Mom and Dad are both gone now. But in 1958, the family lived on a farm about 12 kilometres west of Powassan, a property still owned by one of Cossar's older brothers. Lincoln, she recalled, loved animals and thrived in the rural setting: "We always said he was too good of a kid. We always grumbled that we had too many chores, but he was always out in the barn."
The first sign of trouble came on a late-summer afternoon, Sept. 17. "I remember him going to the barn with the boys, with my two older brothers. And they brought him up from the barn because his eyes had started twitching. He couldn't control his eyes."
Lincoln was taken to the family doctor in Powassan. "Dr. (J.E.) Dillane, I don't know how, he knew right away. He told Mom and Dad: "You get him to Sick Kids? Hospital as quick as you can.""
In those days, it was at least a six-hour drive to Toronto's renowned Hospital for Sick Children. "They took him down that night," Cossar said. "Two days later he went into a coma. I think that was on a Tuesday. By the Friday, he had died. It was very traumatic".
Dr. Donald McLean, a Sick Kids physician and medical researcher specializing in microbiology, along with his colleague, Dr. W.L. Donohue, had tracked Lincoln's deteriorating condition and sought permission from the Byers family for an autopsy. The two doctors detected an anomalous inflammation in the boy's brain tissue that would come to define a strain of virus new to the medical world.
The course of Lincoln's illness was summarized in a May 1959 article by McLean and Donohue in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
"Twelve hours before admission the child's mother noticed blinking of his left eyelids," the study stated, "and his eyes moved rhythmically to the left. His father noted some tremor and unsteadiness of the boy's left arm. The child complained of dizziness".
By the time he'd reached Toronto, Lincoln had a 'right-sided headache' and a rising fever. Two days later, neck stiffness was noted for the first time, his temperature soared and the boy's increasing drowsiness deepened into a coma. He died on Sept. 23, 1958.
McLean and Donohue discovered, under the microscope, inflamed cerebral tissue and degenerating nerve cells. Later experiments with mice exposed to the infection confirmed Lincoln had died from a newly identified viral pathogen: Powassan virus.
Cossar recalls how McLean and his colleagues then travelled to Powassan and surrounding areas to conduct an emergency research study to learn more about the virus that had killed Lincoln. Park rangers and other outdoor workers were tested, but the Byers farm was ground zero for the medical probe.
The researchers found a high concentration of virus-carrying ticks in some squirrels in the area. The findings appeared in later editions of the CMAJ, which once called McLean a 'talented tick-hunter' and documented his success in profiling the presence of Powassan virus in ticks found on squirrels and other small mammals at various sites in Canada and the U.S. His findings even prompted a front-page story in the Globe and Mail in February 1960.
"My brothers, they would catch squirrels, and this is what the doctors figured had happened," Cossar said. "They would skin these squirrels. And Lincoln would hold them while they were skinning these squirrels. And this Dr. McLean from Toronto figured it was a tick that, you know, had bitten him."
The illness has remained relatively low on North America's public-health radar over the years. But a severe case in northern New York this summer and new studies showing a greater-than-expected reservoir of the virus in Hudson Valley ticks led the state's senior lawmaker in Washington, Sen. Charles Schumer, to declare war in August on the 'emerging Powassan virus threat'. Schumer also pressed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to do more to fight all tick-borne illnesses, including the more common but less virulent Lyme disease.
"The need for more research is clear and compelling. We need to bring Lyme disease and the Powassan virus out of the weeds and better educate the public about how to keep themselves and their families safe", Schumer said at the time.
The Times later editorialized in support of a stepped-up public-health strategy to fight Powassan virus. Lyme disease may be well known, the paper said, but "what most don't know is that the same family of black-legged ticks can also cause other diseases that are even more dangerous".
A CDCP study published in 2012 showed only 47 reported cases of Powassan virus since 2001 across the U.S., but nearly all occurred in the last half of the decade, mostly in the northern states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York.
While mild symptoms can be treated, there's no known cure when the virus takes strong hold of a victim, and the ratio of deaths to total cases, compared with other tick-borne illnesses, is extremely high. Five of 15 people in New York diagnosed with Powassan virus have died since 2004.
According to the Saskatoon-based Canadian Co-operative Wildlife Health Centre, Powassan virus has been diagnosed in people in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. As in the U.S., the virus is fatal or leaves victims with debilitating effects in about one-third of all cases, though the number of documented cases is smaller in this country.
Ticks are most active between late spring and early fall, and experts have warned that climate change could increase the incidence of Powassan virus and other infections spread by ticks in northeastern North America.
A U.S. study published in the September issue of the CDCP's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal noted that 'because no vaccines or effective antiviral agents exist' to fight the virus, people should, above all, 'take precautions to prevent tick bites', wear light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and pants tucked into socks, use insect repellent and check themselves and pets for ticks after being outside.
The study also noted that doctors should become more familiar with the Powassan virus 'because this disease is likely to increase in areas to which it is endemic'.
Last week, the U.S.-based pest-control company Terminix also pointed to rising concerns about the Powassan virus to urge the public to take steps to avoid tick bites, including the possible use of backyard insecticides.
The thought of the virus becoming more common, said Cossar, is worrying: "It gives me goosebumps."
The recent public alarms about the infection contrast with the decades of quiet sorrow the Byers family endured following Lincoln's death. But Cossar recalls one other time, many years ago, when memories of her lost brother were stirred by talk of the Powassan virus.
She was working at a store in Powassan when a Toronto doctor and his wife dropped in to shop. They began discussing the link between the town's name and the viral infection. The place, Cossar remembers the man saying, "is well known for the Powassan virus. It was the disease that killed a young boy here."
"So this was just out of the blue," she said. "I'd never heard anybody talk about it before. And it was a weird feeling. This was my brother that he was talking about."

SNODDON, Lawrence Douglas - Larry was born October 21, 1941, and passed away suddenly May 24, 2009. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends. Larry was predeceased by his father Jack Snoddon. He is survived by his mother Nora Snoddon, sisters Lorraine Willett (Kerry) and Karen Munro (Roger Ringuette), and brothers David (Joey) and Ken (Crystal), son David (Danielle) and daughters Jo-Anne Barber (Glen) and Lisa Drinkwalter (Trent). Larry had a special place for his grandchildren, Devin, Natasha, Robbie, Megan, Jack and Joe as well as his nieces and nephews Neil, Erica (Gavin), Laura, Yolaina, Jesse, Katy, Olivia, Polly, Arthur, Connor and Brooke. He will be particularly missed by his close friends Doug, Theresa, Murray and Carolyn, Wayne (deceased) and their children Travis, Wendy and Connie who considered him a dear uncle. Larry gave his time freely and was always happy to lend a hand when it was needed. Whether it was fixing a leaky roof, building a set of shelves, removing trees or picking out the family's “Charlie Brown“ Christmas tree, he was there. He enjoyed a gag or two, having coffee with friends, hiking with his grandchildren, his annual hunting and fishing trips, a game of chess or hockey game and planning his next project. Larry “retired“ as a stationary engineer with the NBPH in 2000, but his services and knowledge were greatly valued and he continued to work for several companies including Tembec and Goodyear. Larry was very resourceful and would rather build or fix something himself than buy it new. He built a home from scratch in the 1970's on Trout Lake, staked his claim to an amethyst mine, was an accomplished painter and always had many projects on-the-go. Larry was an avid fisherman who knew Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake well and would often share his catch-of-the-day with family and friends. Every year he took part in his son's fishing derby and he enjoyed taking the fishermen/women out to his favourite fishing spots during the family reunions at the Waltonian. The family will receive friends at MARTYN FUNERAL HOME, Friday, May 29 between 2 p.m. - 4 p.m and 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Donations can be made to the Salvation Army. | Snoddon, Lawrence Douglas (I00875)

SOLDIER KILLED AT MOUNT ZION PIE SUPPER
Pvt. James Roden, 23, who was stationed at Greenville, N.C., was shot to death Tuesday night at a pie supper at the Mt. Zion commumity building. Bert Miller, 21, Valliant, has been placed under arrest and is being held in the county jail, as a result of the shootong, Clarence Lane, county sheriff, said this morning.
Miller said in an interview Wednesday morning, that the trouble arose, when Roden, who Miller says had been drinking, accused him of bullying a 13 year old boy.
He shot in self defense, he said, only after Roden had pulled out a white handle pocket knife. Investigations proved that three shots were fired with a .32 calibre pistol. One of the shots entered Roden's left cheek and ranged out the back of his head, the second entering his back at the left shoulder and coming out through his right breast and lodging in his shirt. The other shot was a complete miss.
Following the shooting, Miller went to the home of his brother-in-law, Bill Clark, and accompanied by his wife, eluded officers until sunrise, being found in Clark's barn by Ed Richardson, deputy, and Aud Penney, constable.
Roden, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.R. Roden, southeast of Valliant, was home on a furlough and was to have left Wednesday. He had been in the army about six months.
He and Roden had an altercation little more than a year ago in which Roden had slashed his back with a knife, he said.
He added that Roden at that time had threatened his life.

THE NOBLE BAND OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE WORKED AND TO THOSE WHO ARE NOW WORKING IN THE FOREIGN MISSION FIELD
THE FOUNDING OF THE METHODIST CHURCH IN FIJI
We now turn our attention for a few minutes to an oasis in the dark and dreary spiritual desert this was the island of Ono, in the Fijian group. Work was begun in this island by a converted Tongan. A number of natives accepted the gospel. These were much persecuted by the heathen ; but their numbers increased, until they felt that they were able to defend themselves against the attacks of the heathen party. They took up arms against them, and the heathen fled before them to their stronghold in the mountains. The Christians followed them, and took the town. Scarcely any one fell on either side. Instead of killing the vanquished the native Christians ran up to them, fell on their necks, and wept over them. Such a thing had not been known in Fiji. Aforetime they would have been killed and eaten. This treatment made such an impression on the minds of the heathen that they decided to accept the gospel at once.
When Richard Lyth left Somosomo for Lakemba the gentle and scholarly David Hazelwood joined Thomas Williams in that dark and discouraging field. When Somosomo was abandoned David Hazelwood was sent to Ono. It was like a translation from midnight darkness to noonday. In a communication to the Methodist Missionary Committee in London Mr. Hazelwood said: 'The last time I wrote you was from Somosomo, a land of darkness and the shadow of death, where eminently Satan's seat is; a land of thick darkness, bordering on the regions of eternal night; where heathenism in the form of savage cannibalism, with all its horrors, lifts up an unblushing countenance. I am happy now to write to you from a place on which "the Light of the World" has poured His enlightening rays, and I trust for ever dispelled the gloom of heathenism! I could almost beg and entreat : never send me again to a heathen land.... What is not Christianity able to effect! I have seen its effects at home; I have seen them in the colony (New South Wales); but I have never seen its effects so general on a people as on the people of Ono.... As compared with Somosomo, we have removed from the verge of hell to the precincts of heaven.'*
The following are a few testimonies given by the converted Fijians at Ono in connexion with a lovefeast presided over by David Hazelwood: 'One great thing I know is my sins; another is the love of God. It is a new thing for me to love men.... I know this is the effect of the love of God.' Another (a woman) said: 'My child died, but I loved God the more; my body has been much afflicted, but I love Him the more. I know that death would only unite me to God. In this testimony we hear again the voice of Paul: 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors.'Another convert said: 'I am a very bad man; there is no good thing in me; but I know the love of God. There are not two great things in my mind; there is only one the love of God for the sake of Christ'
David Hazelwood soon had to pass through deep waters. His youngest daughter died of dysentery, and the father had to read the burial service over his own child. A fortnight later his wife was confined, and three days after passed away. The Rev. Thomas Williams arrived just in time to save his afflicted brother from the sore trial of reading the burial service over the mortal remains of his own wife.
In 1885 Thomas Williams, one of the pioneer Methodist missionaries, revisited Fiji. What a marvellous transformation greeted his glad vision 1 Said he: 'I passed a night at my old and horror crowded station Somosomo, where, with the brethren Lyth, Hunt, Cross, and Hazelwood, and our noble wives, I endured sufferings of no ordinary kind. But they are passed, and on the ground where I once walked amongst the slain, amongst open ovens and devil temples, I have addressed a neatly attired and attentive audience. I witnessed strange scenes here from the year 1843 to the year 1849, and those which are daily passing before me are by contrast equally strange. Jehovah hath confounded the gods of the heathen, and gotten to Himself a glorious victory. Hallelujah!'
