Warner (ca. 1843-1901), & John Billings Warner (1844-1897) Warner, Billings DROWNED - Drowned yesterday at Simcoe Falls, Camden, Billings Warner, brother of Sidney Warner, Wilton, while bathing in the stream below the falls. June 13 1845 British Whig WARNER - At his residence, Lindsay, On Sunday 14th February, John Billings Warner, formerly of Napanee, aged 52 years. Cut off in the Prime of Life - Much surprise was created in town on Monday last by the announcement that Mr. John Billings Warner, of Lindsay, had died the evening previous. It was known to some of his friends here that he had not been well for some time past, but they little expected his end was so near at hand. Deceased was the eldest son of the late Billings Warner, of Yarker, who while bathing with his brother James, (now of New York), in the river there, got beyond his depth, and being unable to swim, was drowned. Mrs. Warner, his widow, afterwards married the late Capt. Edmund Hooper, M.P. for Lennox, and died about a year ago at Lindsay. About twenty years ago with his brother Isaac, now also of Lindsay, he started business in Napanee and later was a traveller for a Toronto firm. A few years ago he started an extensive dry goods business in Lindsay, which he carried on successfully until his death. Deceased married a daughter of the late Lyman Moore, Hamilton, who with seven children survive him. Mr. Warner was an excellent business man and a favorite with all with whom he became acquainted. He had a large circle of relatives and acquaintances in Napanee and vicinity, who will regret his early demise (aged 52 years) in the prime of life. The bereaved wife and brother have the sympathy of their many friends in this section. The funeral took place on Wednesday, the remains being placed in the vault at Lindsay. Source: from the Watson Scrapbook Simcoe Falls One of the principle industries was Potash with one of the principle makers being Sidney Warner. Wood ashes were turned into Potash and since wood was the only heat source, settlers would save their ashes and trade them at Mr. Warner's general store for other goods. Yarker Woolen Mill Sometime after 1840, the saw mill, a blacksmith shop, a grist mill, a carding mill, a store, a post office, a school, and a hotel was opened..... Until 1859 the village was known as Simcoe Falls. Due to the fact there was already a Simcoe in the County, the village was forced to rename the village. A list of several names was prepared for consideration by the Government with Yarker chosen. (Stone Mills Marketplace) Mrs. Warner, his widow, afterwards married the late Capt. Edmund Hooper, M. P. for Lennox, and died about a year ago at Lindsay. (1897)
