Newfoundland had rejected joining > Canada in 1869 and was functioning as an independent country. > > > At the time of Herder's venture St. John's had a population of 30,000 and > Newfoundland's total population stood at 175,000. Competing for readership > were one tri-weekly newspaper and 7 bi-weekly newspapers. The 1860's had > seen the country's first daily printed but it quickly folded. > Alexander A. Parsons was made The Evening Telegram's first editor, a > position he held until 1901. Robert Mercer held the position of pressman for > The Evening Telegram from its beginnings until 1929. He began turning out > papers on a hand press which had a capacity for producing 400-500 copies > daily. In total the newspaper had a staff of 6 people. > Situated at 218 Duckworth St., downtown St. John's, was the Telegram > plant where the first edition was printed consisting of a single sheet, four > sides printed. The paper sold for 1 cent per copy. In a mere two weeks the > paper was expanded to two sheets, four sides printed each. Only 3 months > later, June 28, a quadrant press was introduced that could print 1000 copies > a day. The Evening Telegram did so well that by May of 1880 Herder was > seeing 2000 copies of his year old venture hitting the streets of St. > John's. > Naturally with increasing circulation Herder moved his operation to a > larger building on Gregory's Lane connecting Duckworth St. to Water St. A > new drum-cylinder Babcock and Cottrall machine was installed in the new > location which moved the Evening Telegram even further ahead in technology > with its' capabilities to produce 1800 papers per hour. > > In 1880 the Evening Telegram was housed in it's new building with a new > printing unit and also received, by accident, a new look. Pink paper was > sent to the St. John's Evening Telegram instead of the Toronto Evening > Telegram. This new look was maintained by the Evening Telegram until > February 7, 1942 when World War II interrupted shipments. > For the first thirteen years of publishing the paper prospered and it > endured when other daily papers were started and failed. On July 8-9, 1892 > however, St. John's and The Evening Telegram met with disaster. The Great > Fire destroyed half of the downtown area of St. John's, including The > Evening Telegram building. Herder only had insurance to cover 1/5 of his > losses but not wanting his successful venture to expire he rebuilt the > newspaper and on September 1, 1892 it was being printed regularly at a > temporary office on Water St. On January 1894 a new building opened on Water > St. between Gregory's Lane to house The Evening Telegram. > Herder's paper took rapid steps in advancing it's technology, so in 1895 > the first wet-mat stereotyping press was installed giving the paper the > capacity to produce 20,000 copies of a 4 page paper per hour. Again in 1906 > another new press was installed, this being the sixth since The Evening > Telegram began printing. A 12 page Duplex flat bed, direct printing machine > was installed, the first one in Newfoundland. The paper then changed its' > format from 4 columns to seven columns and in 1908 added a type-setting > machine to it's advancing technology. Prior to the installation of this > machine all type-setting was done by hand. Only 11 years later the press was > again updated to a 16 page tubular plate rotary press. > > Shortly after that, from 1919 through 1922, The Evening Telegram employed > Joseph R Smallwood as a reporter and editorial writer, occasionally. Of > course it would be Smallwood who would later bring Newfoundland into > Confederation with Canada and become Newfoundland's first Premier. During > Smallwood's political career as Premier he would later sue the Evening > Telegram and vocally oppose their journalistic methods. > Forty-three years after the paper first printed and grew to be the only > successful daily in Newfoundland, William Herder died. After his death the > newspaper was reconstructed and a Board of Directors was established with > W.H Herder as president and H.A Herder as vice-president. Both were sons of > the Herder. Other changes took place as well within the paper. William > Herder's Evening Telegram had been pro-liberal but after his death the > policy became "Newfoundland first, regardless of party." > During the 20's St. John's saw the start of the Tely 10, a ten kilometer > road race started in 1927 and sponsored by The Telegram. It started will a > small list of runners and has now escalated to over 1000 runners. > In 1929 the Evening Telegram also started a subscription list for victims > of the south coast disaster which amounted to $250,000. > The 1930's saw some firsts at the paper with the first colour (red) being > printed in an ad, but it was not done again until 1958. In 1935 the > newspaper hired the first staff photographer, Albert Young. He was also the > first official press photographer in Newfoundland. By the end of the second > world war The Evening Telegram had it's own electronic engraving plant for > photographs. It was the first in Newfoundland. > Within 4 months of each other in 1934 both the President and > Vice-President of the company died and a year later, Dec. 31, 1935 another > Herder was appointed President. Ralph B Herder became President until 1955 > when he died. Along side him was James M. Herder as vice-president and > general manager. The newspaper only saw its' first advertising department in > 1941 with John G. Green as manager. > In 1952 a weekend picture magazine was added to the Evening Telegram and > circulation was around 20,000. In 1956 a 96 page Hoe press was bought and > the top 2 floors of the Parland Building west of Gregory's Lane were leased > where all the press machinery would be housed. The old building where the > press machinery had been was renovated into a newsroom, offices and an > accounting department. By the spring of 1961 all departments were moved to > the Parland building on Duckworth St. > The next decade remained relatively quiet with some technical advances > happening like changing the front page format from eight columns to six > columns of type in 1968.

Hi Sandy; I also have many loved ones buried in different Cemetaries in my home Town, but my remaining family and I moved away upon my Mother's passing many many years ago. I try to visit my loved ones grave sites when time and finances allow me to do so, whereas I always spend my time tending their graves and making sure that they are cleared from weeds etc. Therefore when I can not visit in person I pay a small fee to a couple {not a relative}to ensure that my loved ones grave sites are cared for each Summer and little flowers {annuals}are planted in the little flower boxes {two, one on either side of the Stone or marking}The graves are kept beautifully. I did place the flower boxes there myself when I visited the Town years ago and it is still in perfect shape.

Some of the graves were mowed but most of them you couldnt find for the high weeds and rose bushes. It was sad to see alot of the stones broken ,on the ground and buried with weeds all around. The bees also were busy there and wonder What can be done?? Any thoughts who to contact. I was wondering if there was a Boy scout troop there that could do some service there at the cemetery.

I just came back a few weeks ago from visiting Fogo Island and wanted to put my two cents in about the sad condition of the Anglican Cem. at Joe Batt's Arm. most of my ancestors if not all of them are buried there. Some of the graves were mowed but most of them you couldnt find for the high weeds and rose bushes. It was sad to see alot of the stones broken ,on the ground and buried with weeds all around. The bees also were busy there and wonder What can be done?? Any thoughts who to contact. I was wondering if there was a Boy scout troop there that could do some service there at the cemetery. Thanks for listening. Sandy from New York

The records for Belvedere cemetary are not on line but the Basilica of St. John Administration Office has access to the cemetary records. They nicely performed a search for all DAVIS names for me when I was visiting there. The printout I obtained is is titled Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation Cemetary Records. The web site for the Archdiocese is http://www.stjohnsarchdiocese.nf.ca/ Click on Directory then select the Administration Office and look for Supervisor of Cemeteries For what it is worth, the Mt. Carmel records were lost in a fire and are not available.

All, Check out www.stonepics.com . They're in the business of selling headstone photos but they have a listing of each headstone with the name and year of death in a very large index. All the St. John's cemeteries are there.
