Lisa and List- It would be both informative and interesting if list members would share phrases used as causes of death for their NB ancestors. While "sugar poisoning" referred to a specific event, most others would have reflected the descriptive language of the time used for specific causes of death. For example, two of my ancestors, of roughly the same time frame who died in their 80s in the Southern U.S. states, were listed as, "old age worn out." I've always assumed that the phrase was used to indicate that the individual simply died of old age. I wonder if this phrase was ever used in reporting NB deaths-or was some other phrase used for the death of an elderly person with no evident other cause of death, instead? How old was the individual who died as a result of "Visitation from God?"

ToWhomItMayInterest: A request that I sent to Walter S Mossberg of the the WSJ newspaper, a computer Guru of note. Dear Sir; I use a fair number per year of Memorex CD-RW (4x,700MB,80min); They were recommended to me by the store clerk & represented by him as ''the usual, they're all about the same". I buy them in packs of 10; and 1 & sometimes 2 of these CD's/pack will fail while in use; my computer program (XP, Home; Dell) will tell me when they fail. Erasing & rewrite never restores them. My application is genealogical file back-up. Is there a better brand or solution? Many thanks. Ed Costello 1009 Blenheim Dr Raleigh NC 27612

Jean, and List, I have no additional info on "sugar poisoning," but I am wondering if anyone else out there has heard of the following cause of death - "Visitation from God." Does it simply mean died of natural causes? This one kills me. Lisa Z

Hi Bill Yep, you are so right. I was incomplete in my request. I had worked several hours on this family, and in frustration and being tired, just thought I'd ask if someone on the board had that census information. It is James, wife Sarah, Miller. But Sarah might be widowed.

Hi Sara, May I suggest you include the name(s) of the person(s) you are seeking. Looking at yours (following), I must write you and ask: "Who are you looking for?) You write back and say: "John Smith." I then write back and say: "Sorry, no John." That adds up to 3 needless messages. Unless it's a secret, let people know who you want help with. How can they help if they don't know your "target?" Another suggestion - put the name in the subject line, along with a date (or approx. date) and a place(s). Almost every message should have these 3 points if you are asking for someone. By doing this, people will know before they open your message if they can, or may be able to help. Further, someone browsing the website Archives will not get a hit from what you have in this current subject line. Whether they search Smith, Jones or Adams, it won't get a hit on "Sunbury Census." Good luck. I hope your query works out.

For the past few weeks, I've been researching the death of my husband's great-great grandmother, Hannah Cooper Heywood. She was the first wife of Zimri Brewer Heywood, and according to her death notice, she died as a young wife/mother in 1835 in Milltown, St. Stephen, Charlotte Co., New Brunswick. That brief death notice contained the mysterious phrase, "sugar poisoning," as the reason for her death, with no explanation about what that meant. Quite by accident, I ran across what I believe to be the explanation. I'm sharing it with this mailing list, since it apparently affected a large number of residents of New Brunswick and adjacent Calais. If any of you have ancestors who were similarly affected, I would surely like to hear about them, as I believe expanded knowledge of that unfortunate event will enrich many family histories. Here's what I found in Rev. I.C. Knowlton's Annals of Calais, Maine and St. Stephen, New Brunswick.....publ. 1875 [page 118]: "...Early in 1835, a strange sickness, baffling all medical skill, broke out in Calais and St. Stephen. The symptoms were pain, weakness and constipation, loss of appetite and sleep, partial paralysis, nausea, etc. During February, March and April, hundreds were sick in the same way; the best treatment did little good; and some twenty or thirty persons died. No age or class was exampt from the malady. At length poison was suspected in an invoice of sugar imported by James Frink, from Barbadoes. It was a nice looking article, and being sold at retail, it was used in many families and freely taken by the sick, in their food and medicine; but on being subjected to analysis by a Boston chemist, it was found to contain a fatal per cent of lead! The secret was divulged. The people ceased using the sugar, and the strange sickness slowly disappeared; though some have suffered from its effects to the present day. Subsequently, Dr. Cyrus Hamlin while visiting Barbadoes to regain his health, traced the sugar to the plantation where it was manufactured. On investigation he found that some of the syrup from which the sugar was made, had remained in lead-coated cauldrons until it fermented, in which state it decomposed and absorbed the poison lead...." Does anyone on this list have ancestors who passed down information about this event and its effects on the population? I wonder if there are newspaper articles, diary/journal entries, letters or other sources of information about it. Thanks for any additional insight. Jean
