Obituary "In Beachville, on the 15th inst., Mr. John Carroll, in the 102nd year of his age. The subject of this notice was born in the State of New Jersey, in March 1753; rendered good service under Gen. Schenyler, in the American Revolution and in 1789 emigrated to Canada, and settled in Beachville, where he resided up to the time of his death. Coming to a wilderness, he had, of course, many difficulties to encounter, and many disappointments to bear; but through an indomitable perseverance and years of toil and exposure to the climate of a new and uncultivated country, succeeded in establishing for himself and family a comfortable home. The deceased bore the character of an upright had honest man and held the respect and esteem of all who knew him, and his loss will be severely felt. He leaves a very large and bereaved family, residing for the most part, in different sections of this country, as well as a large number of acquaintances to mourn his loss."^[6]
