MASSIE DEAD AT SAINT JOHN Born in Scotland, Lived for Many Years in Fredericton -- Ill Short Time. News of the death in Saint John yesterday of Lieutenant-Colonel Albert E. Massie, was heard of with regret in Fredericton by many friends, who were unaware of the seriousness of his condition, although they knew he was not in good health. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, on Oct. 14th, 1868, he came to New Brunswick with his parents at the age of 11 years. With his parents, William and Annie (Soutter) Massie, he took up residence in Fredericton where he lived for a great many years. He was educated in the schools of Fredericton and a pupil of the late Sir George R. Parkin, principal of the old high school located in Brunswick street. He was engaged as a young man in the watch repairing business and later entered the shoe business, conducting a business in Queen street. He later became a commercial traveller, representing several well known shoe and rubber concerns. He covered eastern Canada and Newfoundland. During his years on the "road" he acquired a great knowledge of people and conditions and was known for his genial and affable manner, his willingness to enter into any activity for the good of the community he happened to be in. Before leaving Fredericton to take up residence in Saint John where he was employed Colonel Massie was active in every work of Fredericton. He was a member of a musical organization in Fredericton known as the F. O. M. W., of which W A. Adams of Fredericton, was a member. In 1934 he offered as a candidate for the Saint John City Council and was elected. He served as commissioner of harbor, ferries, public lands and publicity until the recent election in Saint John when the old commission system went down to defeat. He was vice president of the Board of Trade, and enthusiastic member of Saint Andrew's Society, being president for some time. He had the honored office of "bard" and his exceptional literary gifts were displayed in the greetings sent out by Saint John to sister societies on St. Andrew's Day. He was connected with the Saint John Tourist Association and in 1932 was appointed director of publicity. The airport was also under his supervision and he did much to have the airport facilities keep pace with modern ideals. He was a keen golfer, being a member of the Riverside Golf and County Club. Col. Massie had a long military career which began in Fredericton in the ranks of the 71stYork Battalion. He was commissioned as an officer and later was captain and quartermaster of that unit. After removal to Saint John he was selected to organize and command the first unit of the Canadian Army Service Corps in New Brunswick. His success was so outstanding that he was promoted in that branch of the militia and in the early stages of the Great War was appointed to command the 2nd Divisional Train, C. E. F. and served with it in France. Col. Massie won the D. S. O. in active service, being three times mentioned in despatches. He returned to Canada at the end of the war and was for a time general sales manager with the Dominion Rubber Company footwear division in Montreal office before taking up the Maritime appointment under that firm. In early life Col. Massie was prominent as a rifleman. "Al" Massie, as he was known to his numerous friends, visited Fredericton last fall and met many old friends, who will learn of his death with sorrow. Besides his wife, who was formerly Miss Ada Burchill of Fredericton, he is survived by two sons, Dr. R. A. Massie, Sawyerville, Quebec and Donald A. at home; two brothers, Stephen of Boston and George, a barrister of Edmonton, Alta.; three sisters, Mrs. E. C. Dyer, South Portland, Me.; Mrs. William C. Clarke, Duke street, Saint John, and Mrs. F. C. Wry, 127 Wright streeet, Saint John. (This short article in on the reverse side of the above obituary.) BURTT'S CORNER. Women's Institute Had Meeting and Made Presentation to Member Who is Leaving. Burtt's Corner, Feb. 15 -- The Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. Fred Allen on Thursday, Feb. 11th, with the President in the chair. Meeting opened with O Canada, followed by the Club Women's Creed. Roll call was answered by seventeen members exchanging Valentines. There were five visitors present. Correspondence was read by the secretary and discussed. The Mystery Box, donated by Mrs. Glenwood Jones was won by Mrs. Fred Allen. The contest for the evening was in charge of Mrs. Tilley Bird. One shirt and two pairs of socks were sent to a sick boy. One school asked the Institute for help in serving hot lunches for the children at noon hours, as there are four schools connected with this Institute. It was felt that all should have the same help. This was left for consideration. As Mr. and Mrs. Fred Allen are leaving the community in the near future there was much regret felt in this Institute as she is one of its most active members and her home always open. In the course of the evening Mrs. Allen was presented an electric iron. Meeting closed by singing God Save the King. Lunch was served by the hostess. DIED. NICKERSON -- At Marysville, N. B. April 17th, 1941, Phillip E. Nickerson, aged seventy-one years. Funeral from his late home, 53 Canada street, Saturday afternoon, with service at three o'clock by Rev. W. S. Loring, and the body taken on the 7.05 train to Orrington, Me., where the committal service will be conducted Sunday afternoon and interment made.

Could any kind soul on the list tell me if there still is a St. Joseph's church in Eastport. Me. And, if there was ever a sardine canning factory in Eastport. My cousins quite sure that there was one that may have been owned by a Cassidy or a Thorpe. She also says that there was a tea house ran by two aunts in the area. She does not know of any date, or the location of the tea house. No idea what the last names of these aunt would be. I know this a very long shot. But you have to start somewhere. Thanks in advance.

FYI: Reading the Haverhill Gazette (Massachusetts) for Oct. 5-ll, 2000 page one and 9(article entitled "Disappearing graveyard" by Jean MacDougall-Tattan, staff writer) I came across an article about a Cemetery, long forgotten, at the Glynn Memorial Nursing Home, which was, during the city's almshouse between 1828 and 1852. I am going to list the names and dates of those buried in the paupers' graves according to this article. I have always noticed that Haverhill, MA has had lots of Maine folks moving there and vice-versa and perhaps this will help someone. Or it can be forwarded to someone else that you might know to be interested. ".....Joseph Ingham spent three years doing genealogical research in the special collections department of the Haverhill Public Library, commissioning a granite marker saying Glynn Memorial Cemetery, .... His research revealed 13 bodies buried beside what was then the city's almshouse between 1828 and 1852. He documented these burials: Mrs. John Shaw, April 23, 1828; an unknown woman Ingham named Jane in July 1830; Hannah Harriman, April 8, 1831; Dorothy Norris, July 24, 1832; Anna Copps, July 3, 1833, John Gould, January 24, 1836; John Gilmore, April 27, 1837; Charles Durcant, June 3, 1837; Jeremiah F. Young, Nov 29, 1837; John Sergant, Nov. 27, 1837, Peggy Malcomb, 1837 and Amasa Meeks, Feb 2, 1852." There is, later in the article, a list of more names for which records show coffins and robes were bought by the almshouse. " ....It names Mrs. Gile's child, Robert Case, L. Benton, Mrs. Giles, A. Foster, Sarah Clark, E. B. Orne, Mrs. Cross, E. Lufkin child, Mrs. Ann Quimby, F. Wiley's wife, Amasa Meeks, Mrs. Hume, Mr. Kent from 1840 through 1857." You may be able to contact the Gazette through their website www.HGazette.com and read the article for yourselves if you need more info( I haven't checked). Or I could make copies of it here to send out. Whatever, I hope this might help someone somewhere...have a nice rainy day(s)! J of J & J

(Hand written at the top of the clipping - Mar. 20, 1933.) OLDEST COTTON MILL WORKER SUCCUMBED SUDDENLY TO-DAY John Stafford Dropped Dead While on Way to Work This Morning EMPLOYED AT MILL FORTY-EIGHT YEARS Manager Joseph Dolphin Pays Tribute to Faithfulness of Deceased. Forty-eight years of faithful and continuous service as a cotton mill worker were terminated abruptly this morning when John Stafford, aged sixty-nine years, dropped dead at Marysville a short distance from his home, while on his way to work at the Gibson Mill of Canadian Cottons, Ltd. Beginning his period of continuous employment in 1885, as a young man of twenty-one years, the deceased was the oldest worker at the mill in point of service. His service began when the mill, then the largest in Canada, in 1885 first started operation, having been built and owned at that time by the late Alexander Gibson, the founder of Marysville and a leading New Brunswick industrialist of his day. The late Mr. Stafford worked his way up through the various departments of the mill and for several years held the position of foreman of the finishing room. In the past few years he was employed in the office of the finishing room. Mr. Stafford had been in ill health for some time although he managed to "stick" to his job, and his death was due to a heart attack. He succumbed in Bridge Street at about 8.30 a. m. and was taken immediately to his home in Canada Street. Manager Joseph Dolphin of the Gibson Mill, stated that Mr. Stafford had been "a very faithful worker." Despite the fact that the deceased had been in failing health recently he had continued at his work. "I'm sure that's the way John wanted to go," added Mr. Dolphin in paying his tribute. A profound feeling of sympathy exists in Marysville for the family of the deceased, who was a native of the town and took a keen interest in its affairs. The late Mr. Stafford was twice married, his first wife having died several years ago. He is survived by his second wife; two sons, Roy Stafford and James Stafford, of Rumford, Me.; four daughter, Mrs. Hedley Colpitts, of Hartland; Mrs. Mills, of Connecticut, and the Misses Christine Stafford and Felicia Stafford, of Marysville; and two brothers, Samuel and Fred Stafford, of Marysville. The funeral will be held at the late home on Wednesday at 2.30 o'clock, the service being conducted by Rev. M. H. Manuel of Marysville, with Rev. C. LeRoi Mooers, of Devon, assisting. Interment will be in the United Church Cemetery at Marysville. (Hand written at the bottom of the clipping - Nov. 17, 1921.) Married This Afternoon. The home of John Greer was the scene of a quiet wedding this afternoon when his daughter, Mrs. Abbie Upton, was united in marriage to N. Beal, of Grand Manan. The ceremony was performed by Rev. P. J. Trafton in the presence of the immediate relatives of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Beal are leaving this afternoon by C. P. R. for Grand Manan, where they will reside. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful wedding gifts. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my dear husband, William Harrison Morgan, who went up higher, April 6th, 1937. I will join him who has passed on before. My loved one - oh! How I do miss him! - I will press on and meet him once more. (Handwritten at the top of the clipping - 1932.) United in Marriage. Friends will be interested in the announcement of the marriage of Miss Margaret C. O'Leary of New Maryland and William C. Beveridge of Lincoln, which was solemnized at Wilmot United Church parsonage on December 26th by Rev. J. W. Bartlett.

I had the entire ME 1890 census in my hand and was waiting in line to copy it and the P.A. system announced they were closing in 5 minutes. I will return to the library in the spring when the time changes again, and take my wife to help. She was unfortunately at a genealogy conference and I lost my right hand. Waiting for spring because that gives us an extra hour to get there. It is a 4 hour drive , but the Allen Co. Library in Fort Wayne, Ind. is well worth the trip. They have genealogists and volunteers there and I am positive they would look up the information you need for a very reasonable cost. The library is also online, and has the largest English genealogy holdings in the US. Salt Lake is larger, but has much more international genealogy. Do you belong to Ancestry. com. I do and could look your name up and at least get the index information for it. Possibly someone on the ME. list was much sharper than I was and has the census. Should have not waited to the last minutes, it seems everyone else did the same thing. In the spring when I go again I will post to the list, and just give me the name or names and I will do it for you, if all else fails. Thanks for the information. I know that Rebecca Brackett was alive and living in Danforth in 1890. Also got an E-mail that Rebecca married George W. Brackett the son of Hiram and Nancy Brackett on March 03, 1870. I know Rebecca Butterfield married Abner Mundie on Sept. 01, 1861 in Danforth, Maine, by the Justice of the Peace William Butterfield. I am really interested in locating her children, esp. any Mundie children. Abner Mundie joined the 31st. ME. Inf. , Co. G. in April 1864, and Abner died in Sept 1864.
