Emereth MacKay 1963 Bridgewater Bulletin The community of New Germany and surrounding districts were shocked on Thursday to learn of the sudden death of Emereth Porter MacKay, who had gone with a friend to spend the day at Camp 12 at Medway, which seemed so much like home to him as he worked for years with the Mersey Paper Company at Caledonia, Lake Rosignol, and Medway. During the hours of the afternoon he passed away. He had been in failing health for some years, due to a heart attack which he suffered five years ago and for many months he was tenderly cared for by his daughter, Mrs. Leigh Langille and family, where he made his home. He was born at Upper Northfield in 1895, the son of Mrs. Mary MacKay. He was a quiet man and endeared himself to all who knew him, a kind neighbour, and friend. He also was a veteran of the First World War, serving in Siberia. He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, Julia (nee Kelley); two daughters, Delia (Mrs. Leigh Langille) and Sandra (Mrs. Edward Zwicker Jr.), of New Germany; two sons, Peter with the R.C.A.F at Hollberg, B.C.; and Emereth Jr. of Halifax; also two half-sisters, Alma (Mrs. Everette Whynot), of Union Square; and Lou (Mrs. Clarence Hirlte), of Oakland; also a half-brother, Cecil Fancy of Roslindale, Mass.; three grandchildren, Gary, Diane, and Gerald Langille, of New Germany; also a host of relatives and friends. The funeral at L.L.Langille's Funeral Home at Barss Corner was largely attended and interment was in the cemetery at Union Square. The service was conducted by Rev. P.S. MacDonald of the United Church. Hymns sung were "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me" and "Jesus, Keep me Near the Cross." The pall bearers were all tractor operators as he was the first tractor operator the Mersey Paper Company had. They were Maynard Carver, Edward Meisner, Clarence Robar, Stuart Veinotte, Perry Veinot, and Ivan Flemming.
