Mr. George Asselstine - Mr. George Asselstine, one of the well known and highly respected farmers of South Fredericksburgh, died quite suddenly at his residence, near Hamburgh, on Sunday evening last. He was in apparent good health on Saturday and at work, as usual, on his farm. About noon he was taken sick and four hours later he became unconscious. Medical aid was soon present but all was of no avail. Shortly after midnight he was dead. He was in the sixty-fifth year of his age. He was the son of George Asselstine, one of the pioneer farmers of that section. The deceased was born and spent all his days on the same farm. He was a man of great industry and intelligence and highly respected by all who knew him. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church from his early boyhood and a class leader for nearly twenty years. In politics he was a Liberal, but never took a prominent part in public affairs. He was township treasurer for a number of years, and in that and every other business position inspired all who came in contact with him with full confidence in his integrity and uprightness. Mr. Asselstine was twice married. His first wife was Ruth, daughter of the late John W. Bristol, who died in Napanee a few years ago. Afterwards he married Miss Ann Finkle, sister of Rowland R. Finkle, Esq., of Bath, who survives him with their three sons. They are Frederick, merchant of Moorhead, Minnesota; Charles, who resides on the family homestead, and Herbert who lives a few lots east. He was a brother-in-law to our townsmen, Peter Bristol, Esq, of Piety Hill and George Cliff, sr. He was an excellent type of the intelligent and successful farmers of which this county can well boast. The funeral took place on Wednesday in the Bethel Methodist church, at Hawley, of which he was one of the leading supporters, and the burial at the Morven cemetery. Hamburg mourns the loss of one of its oldest and most respected residents, in the person of Mr. George Asselstine, who departed this life on the night of the 15th inst. His funeral sermon was preached in Bethel church here. He leaves a wife and three sons to mourn his departure. He was around all day Saturday and his death was unexpected, which makes the circumstances more sad. His end was peace. His 1st wife's obituary appeared in the 1858 Christian Guardian Death Notices; ASSELSTINE, Mrs. Ruth B., daughter of John W. Bristol of Fredericksburgh Twp, wife of George Asselstine Jr. of the same township whom she married Jan 1 1857, died Mar 2 1858 in her 22nd year. In September 1855 she had gone to the Ont.
