    2. Douglas Sinnis
    3. OBIT # 5540 - EASTERN CHRONICLE - FEBRUARY 1942 The death of Mr. JOHN JARVIS HOARE, at his home, Fairvirw Terrace, Stellarton, on Wednesday evening , February 11th, 1942, marked the passing of one of the best known and well liked automobile dealers in the County and also in the Province. Mr. Hoare, who was one of the leading buisness men in the County, had been in poor health for the past few years, suffering from a heart ailment, and latterly had retired from the active part of the large buisness which he had built up. At the beginning of the New Year, he was suddenly stricken, and for six weeks had been exceedingly ill, with but slight hope entertained for his recovery. Born in Stellarton, the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. JOHN R. HOARE, he would have attained his 50th year on April 15th. He attended the Stellarton schools, New Glasgow High and later Pictou Academy. He played hockey for school teams and was extremely proud of the many medals he won as a youthful runner. On graduating from school, he went to work with Mr.L.N. FULLER of New Glasgow, selling stocks and bonds but was attracted to the automobile buisness, then in its early stages.. Starting out on his own, he secured the franchise for Maxwell and Chalmers cars, locating in Stellarton. Later he took the franchise for Chevolets and through all the hard years Pictou County went through, Mr. Hoare's buisness comtinued to expand. At the time of his death he had held a number of years the full General Motors lines of motor vehicles, including the truck lines. No other dealer in Canada held a similar franchise. Moving his buisness to New Glasgow from Stellarton, he was located at various places. A builder and firm believer in neat premises, he left a trail of improvements in the buisness section. Finally settling in the Market Square, he built there one of the best auto sales and repair plants in the Maritimes, comparable in equipment and machinery to even the large cities in Eastern Canada. Although a comparitively young man at the time of his passing, he had entered the automobile game so young that in late years he was regarded as one of the pioneers in it. A master salesman and conforming to the best principles of the trade, he weathered all the difficulties as well as local depressions, that drove many others out of the buisness. A hard worker himself, he built his organization up until it had as many as fifty employees, drawing customers from all over the mainland of Nova Scotia. The late Mr. Hoare had a wealth of true buisness and personal friends. He was one of the kindliest of men and always in good humor, with a smile that was irresistible . Many will recall pleasantries of their friendship with "JACK" as he was familiarly known, for it was always a pleasure to talk to him. In the home. Mr. Hoare was the perfect host at all times and it is there that he will be most sorely missed. With the assistance of his gracious wife, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hoare was known to many for its generous hospitality and friends and acquaintances were always welcome. One friend referred to Mr. Hoare as "gay, generous, lovable Jack" and we are quite sure that thought will linger in the memory of a host of friends for a long, long time. A staunch supporter of Christ Church of Stellarton, he was one of its Wardens. He belonged to the Rotary Club as well as the City and Pictou Clubs, and while health permitted was a member of the Bluenose Curling Club. He was also an ardent fisherman. Mr. Hoare is survived by his widow, the former MABEL FRASER of Stellarton; three brothers, ROBERT, CLARENCE and Major RAYMOND P. HOARE also five sisters, Mrs. George Durand (MARGARET), Mrs. Howard Friedman (BETTY), both of New York; VIOLA, Stellarton; Mrs. John Cullen, (MURIEL) and Mrs. John Douglas (DOROTHY), both of Halifax. The funeral service in Christ Church, on Saturday afternoon was conducted by his pastor Rev.F.A. Heffler, who also conducted the graveside service. (The rest is a tribute from the minister and hymns, flowers ,pall bearers etc.) I will just give one more line here. He also took a prominent part in the musical part of the church, playing the trombone in the Orchestra, which had been connected with Christ Church since his boyhood days.

    3. UNKNOWN PAPER - 1955 MRS. J.T. THOMPSON - All People in Tatamagouche Mountain and surrounding districts are sad at the passing of a wonderfully kind and understanding woman, Mrs. J.T. THOMPSON. Last year the writer had the honor of being asked to visit her on her 89th birthday, to see the lovely gifts which had been received, and an account of it was written for the Truro Weekly News. She always spoke highly of this paper, and it goes to many of her relatives in Canada. On that day Mrs. THOMPSON said that, if the Lord was willing, she would like to see her 90th birthday, but if she went before, it was all right. She was a staunch friend of Dr. Dan MURRAY and said that she would not be alive if it were not for him. She hoped that he would not die before she did - and in that she had her wish. Mrs. THOMPSON was fond of her pupil of years ago - Tucker MATTATALL - and he never failed to bring his gift of oysters, which he gathered himself, on, or near, her birthday. This year he had them ready when the news of her death came to him, but her gift was received by her son who shared them with several of the neighbors who were not as well as they might be. Mrs. THOMPSON had always been an active member of the Women's Missionary Society since she began as a charter member back in 1887 and had never missed her turn at entertaining in all those hearts. The members of the W.M.S. carried the beautiful flowers which had been sent from many places, into the church before the service and out again after it was over - their last service to a very much loved and respected fellow member. Mrs. THOMPSON was very appreciative of anything which was done for her. There were her words on her birthday in 1954, "The room, on my birthday anniversary, just seemed to be filled with love and kindness, and I am blessed indeed to have a daughter like May (Mrs. A.D. COCK) who comes twice a week to see me, and a son like Russel who is always kind and thoughtful. She spoke that day of her daughter, Mrs. ROONEY (Ada), who, although in British Columbia, never forgot to write her, and sent her gifts, not only on her birthday, but all through the year. Mrs. THOMPSON was a good mother and homemaker for her grandchildren, who had lost their mother while they were young, and she will be greatly missed, but she has been a great sufferer, although an uncomplaining one and now she is at rest. She had had a long and full life and leaves a health of pleasant memories to her relatives and neighbors.
