Henry Hill, Adolphustown officiating. Interment St. Paul's Cemetery. SOURCE: Apr 21 1952, Kingston Whig Standard 2.) "Ex-R've Frank Ham Died Suddenly Kingston Hospital - Attended County Council From South Fred. For Nearly 4 years" With the death of Frank N. Ham of Conway in Kingston General Hospital on Saturday, April 19th, the Township of South Fredericksburgh and the County of Lennox and Addington lost one of its most progressive citizens. Mr. Ham who was only 49 years of age suffered an attack of coronary thrombosis in 1949. He was in the Hospital for some time, but appeared to have made a good recovery. Some weeks ago he returned to the hospital for a check-up and treatment and just before he was scheduled to return home had to undergo a rather serious operation. He was reported to be making satisfactory progress until he suffered a heart attack and passed away. Mr. Ham was born at Conway and was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ham. His father's family have been identified with the public life of the Township for several generations. His grandfather Ira Ham was Reeve of the Township of South Fredericksburgh in 1873. His father George T. Ham was clerk of the Township for 29 years. Frank Ham was Reeve of South Fredericksburgh from 1944 to 1949. During his last year as Reeve he became ill and had to give up public life. During the time he was a member of the county Council he served on several important committees and had considerable to do with the formation of the county Health Unit, on the Board of which he acted for a few years. Many farm organizations in the county received his active support as well as St. Paul's Anglican Church at Sandhurst, of which he was a member. Mr. Ham is survived by his wife, formerly Elizabeth Crews, by two children, Katherine and Thomas, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Ham and four sisters, Mrs. Maurice Young, Sandhurst, Mrs. H. C. Hunter, Kingston and Mrs. Mary Smith of Denver, Colorado and Miss Margaret Ham, Toronto. His funeral was conducted by Rev. Henry Hill, at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Sandhurst, on Tuesday afternoon and interment followed in St. Paul's Cemetery. Attending the funeral were many friends from the County. County Council members and County officials. SOURCE: 1952, From the scrapbooks of J. Wright 3.) Tribute to Frank Ham - to the Editor - One of those periods of sorrow and gloom which periodically visit all communities, this week fell on the Ham family, Conway. The death of Frank Ham is a deep loss to the whole neighborhood. Frank Ham, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Ham, died in Kingston General Hospital, Saturday, April 19th. His body was returned to his home to-day (Sunday) and the funeral will take place at St. Paul's Church, Sandhurst, April 22nd at 2:30 p.m. He had been in ill-health for some time but faced all in great hopefulness. Frank, as everyone knew him, was what we might term a mutation in our community. His nature refused to be fettered by the past. His methods cut across old custom and established practice. He pioneered new methods. Machinery fascinated him and he employed it beyond any previously established practice in our neighborhood. He studied crops and soils and fertility and drainage and rations. Any problem was a challenge and he sought the answer. What seemed the impossible to many was a spur to him and he sought to prove its practicability. Defeatism and surrender, when an undertaking went foul and unforeseen difficulties arose, was not in his nature. Frank was essentially a man of the community. He was a member of the Anglican church, a leading Mason and gave much time and effort to Agricultural organization. He was also Reeve of our Township for several years. To the public and in our neighbourhood, his greatest attribute was perhaps Friendliness. He possessed a magnetism that compelled respect even in disagreement. A neighbour he was to all - a Good Samaritan. If it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved, Frank had loved. he was not permitted to carry out and on to maturity of years. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ham, his parents, and his wife and daughter and son, survive him. To these we wish to extend our deepest sympathy.
