Halifax Herald October 1, 2004 DOBSON, Babe Irene - 67, Queensport. It is with deepest sorrow that we must announce the passing of our beloved Babe, in Guysborough Memorial Hospital, on Wednesday, September 29, 2004, after a long illness she handled with determination, dignity and grace.

She served the Guysborough County school system for 35 years, educating and inspiring hundreds of students from the surrounding communities.

She is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Harry; daughter, Meta (Craig) Muir; son, David (Sally); grandchildren, Shane, Jade, and Tyler. Her family is large and well loved. Also surviving are sisters, Claire (Bert) Warren, Barbara Penny, Bonny (Francis) George; brother, Jerry (Trish). She also treasured Harry's family and her many dear nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank all the medical personnel who helped during Babe's illness, including the staff at Nova Scotia Cancer Centre, the doctors and nurses of Guysborough Memorial Hospital and the continuing care program, with a special "Bless you" to Karen Hoben.

Hello, Is there anyone on the list doing older genealogy research? I have a Mooney (Andrew Mooney my ggggg grandfather) family who settled in Canada from Ireland in 1828. I have information on another Mooney family who came over in 1830 Henry Mooney and then his son Robert. Many members of both of these families settled on Prince Edward Island but I cannot find if they are contected. My ggg grandfather Andrew (the grandson of the first Andrew) was born in Pictou County, Nova Scotia and married a Catherine Kelly also born Nova Scotia. They had their family there and left Middle River Pictou in 1871 for Lonaconing, Maryland, USA. A Michael and Bridget (Kelly) Fitzpatrick also came down from Nova Scotia to Lonaconing and I have been trying to contact them to my Kelly as well. There were Nolans in Nova Scotia and there were Nolans in Lonaconing, I don't know if they are the same Nolans, the with Walsh, and Murray. I will post more information is any one is interested/if anyone may have more information about these families. Hope to hear from someone. Thank you kindly, Sue [email protected]
