  • Note*: 1872; Napanee, Lennox & Addington Co., Ontario; "Mr. Benjamin C. Davy, the first Mayor of Napanee, was born at Bath in 1829. He was educated at the Bath Academy and after studying law with Sir John A. Macdonald was called to the bar in 1850. He began the practice o f his profession in his native village, where he remained but a few months, and then Opened an Office in Kingston, which he gave up in a short time, and came to Napanee, where he continued to practise his profession until 1872. His office was in the frame building west of the Campbell house, and was the favourite rendezvous of a group of congenial townsmen among whom Napanee's first lawyer was a leader in all matters affecting the welfare of the municipality. When Manitoba was attracting the attention of the eastern provinces in 1872, he went west with a view of settling there, but ill health compelled him to return. He died in February, 1874, from an attack of pneumonia contracted through exposure in the election campaign of Sir John A. Macdonald, for whom he entertained such respect that he neglected his own comfort and health in his efforts to secure his return. He was popular among all classes, and was regarded by the profession as one of the leading lawyers of this District." from page 230 of "History of the county of Lennox and Addington" by Walter S. Herrington, K.C., The MacMillan Company of Canada, Limited, Toronto, 1913. Downloaded from "Forgotten Books" -www.forgottenbooks.com, Oct 22 2022.
