I have a great grandmother named Dorcas Crosby, whose parents were Lemuel Crosby, 3rd (b. Jan. 9, 1809 in Yarmouth, relocated to Ontario in 1846, and on to MN in 1856) and Jane Parks. I think there is a very strong link in our interests.

It would have been a grand place to have in this day and age for visitors. The old grandfather clock which sat in the "Old" Grand is now located in the newer building.

Murray Lawson: "The Grand Hotel - The contract for the erection of the Grand Hotel was awarded to Rhodes, Curry & Co. of Amherst, and work on the cellar begun on the 11th July, 1893. The lot is 113 feet front by 300 deep. The building is 113 feet front on Main Street, 140 feet on Grand Street and 155 feet on the south side. It is of brick, three stories high with a Mansard roof. It was opened on the 2 July, 1894. A reception and ball were given by the Directors at its formal opening on the evening of the 19th July, which was an unqualified success, and was, without doubt, the most brillant social event of its character ever attempted in Yarmouth. Upwards of 400 guests were present, including many strangers from different parts of the United States; also from Halifax, St. John, Windsor, Kentville and other provincial towns. The Hotel was looking its best, being most beautifully and tastefully decorated with a profusion of flowers and shrubbery. Under the radiant electric lights the scene was enchanting. From that date this fine Hotel has held its position as one of the leading and most interesting institutions of the Province, and sustains its reputation as being second to none of its class in Canada." Possibly if you write to the Yarmouth County Museum Archives you may be able to obtain more information. I am sure they must have alot of pictures.

Some churches (Roman Catholic, Anglican) would keep death records. Sweeny's Funeral Home in Yarmouth has good records of the burials they handled, but they start in the 1890's,. Another possible source is the Yarmouth Herald, a newspaper which was published weekly from 1833 on; most of the issues are available on microfilm at NSARM and other places, but there is no index; you have to go through it page by page. Most issues have a Deaths section, but I suspect from my searches that not everybody made it.

I am looking for information regarding my great-grandmother, Sarah Alice Smith. I believe I've found my Sarah Alice Smith in the 1881 Canadian Census, with the parents listed as Jonathan Smith and Mary E Smith. My great-grandfather was William Larkin, whom Sarah married on Feb 26, 1887 in Woods Harbour, and who was killed in a tragic hunting accident in August,1887. Sarah left Nova Scotia for Massachusetts...according to the 1920 Malden, MA census, she immigrated in 1895. In the 1920 census she was listed as Sarah A. Norton, widow. In the 1930 census she was listed as S. Alice Cooney, married to William S. Cooney. I have no other information regarding her or her family in Nova Scotia, so any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Lilly Martin Lilm4@myexcel.com
