For the last three or four years Mrs. Sheppard's health had been failing, but she was fairly active before that and it was a pleasure to visit and to hear her talk of the days that used to be. She was indeed a good mother, a devoted wife and a neighbour of the finest sort.

The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, August 23, 2013 Genevieve Comeau(née Locke) (April 3, 1939 - August 21, 2013) Genevieve Comeau of Meteghan River, Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 21 at the age of 74 following a battle with pneumonia. Genevieve was born on Bell Island, Newfoundland on April 3, 1939. She was the beloved wife of Pierre, her partner and soulmate for 49 years of marriage, loving and devoted mother of Alice (Sean Butler), David (Jennifer), and Monique (Mark Sander), loving “Hot Tea” of Sophie, Evangeline, and Cameron. She is survived by her sisters Martha (Dennis Halverson) and Rose (John Kent) and her brothers Robert (Dorothy) and David (Rita). She was pre-deceased by her parents Robert and Alice Locke and sisters Priscilla Harpelle and Marie Gosse. She will be dearly missed by the Comeau and the Locke families and by her many nieces, nephews, and godchildren. Genevieve always provided a close familiar touch, a guiding piece of advice, and a sly sense of humour. She was a proud teacher who took pleasure in crafting young minds in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. She was a volunteer with many organizations and a member of the Catholic Women’s League in Weymouth, Nova Scotia. Genevieve lived a full adventurous life with her husband Pierre and her family. She will be dearly missed, not only for her love of family, but for her inspiration, guidance, and adventurous spirit. Family and friends may pay their respects at the Meteghan Funeral Home on Friday, August 23 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. with Knights of Columbus prayers at 8 p.m. The funeral will be held Saturday, August 24, at 11 a.m. at Sacré Coeur Church in Saulnierville, interment in the parish cemetery. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the Yarmouth General Hospital for their dedicated, considerate and compassionate care. We kindly request family flowers only. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or Sacré Coeur Parish would be what Genevieve would have wanted.

Selected obituaries/marriages, etc. transcribed from the 1962 edition of The Daily News, published at St. John's, NL. The Daily News December 28, 1962 Page: 2 Hr. Grace - (Staff) - Elizabeth Jones - The sympathy of a large circle of friends at Harbour Grace is extended to Mrs. Mark Gosse and family of Spaniard's Bay whose mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, passed peacefully away at that town on Wednesday, Dec. 19, aged 92 years. The late Mrs. Jones who had close associations with Harbour Grace in her early years was one of the fast declining members of a fine generation and her excellent qualities made her an outstanding member of the family where she had lived for many years and of the community. Her advanced age did not in any way dim the faculties of this gentle lady and she retained a keen interest in the things that are important in the living of her good life. Her funeral, which was attended by several friends from Harbour Grace, took place on Friday from her late residence, the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mark Gosse, at Spaniard's Bay, to Upper Island Cove where the funeral service was held in the Anglican Church. Interment was in the cemetery there. The Daily News December 29, 1962 Page: 5 Spaniard's Bay - Elizabeth Jones - This town's oldest resident, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, passed peacefully away at the residence of her daughter here on the afternoon of Wednesday, Dec. 19. She had reached her 92nd birthday just one month ago. In her younger days Mrs. Jones had been a businesswoman at Upper Island Cove, where she and her husband operated a general store. Older pupils still recall what a splendid person she was and of her many and varied activities performed for the good of the church and community. When her husband died about thirty years ago, she came to Spaniard's Bay to live with here son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Gosse. Here, too, Mrs. Jones became a favourite with young and old alike. She was abundantly blessed with patience, tenderness, dignity and charm, and these virtues coupled with good education and plenty of common sense made her a pleasant person to visit and to chat with. She read much - she never wore glasses - and she enjoyed radio and television; that she absorbed much of what she read and heard was evident by her conversation, and keeping intelligently abreast of the times kept her young at heart. She was appreciative of everything that anyone did for here, and topmost in her consideration were those with whom she lived and who were devoted to her. Her funeral was held Friday afternoon to the church of St. Peter at Upper Island Cove where the burial service was read by the Rev. E. Willis, assisted by the Rev. E. House. Interment was in the family plot. Funeral arrangements were directed by Messrs. John Young and Son. To her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Gosse, her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. William V. Jones at Upper Island Cove, her three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, we offer sincere sympathy. "May her soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace." The Daily News March 1, 1962 Page: 14 Spaniard's Bay - John W. Mercer - There passed peacefully away at Botwood Hospital on Sunday, February 18th, John W. Mercer of Spaniard's Bay. The late Mr. Mercer was well and favourably known in Spaniard's Bay where he spent just about all of his seventy years. He went to Botwood only last fall. For many years he conducted a business but in recent times he worked at various places in the province. John Mercer was a devout Anglican, a sincere and honest person, and a kind, helpful and considerate neighbour. He was a life-long member of the CEAA and served that organization in several capacities, including that of president, faithfully and well. He was also a member of the Superior Council of that church body. He was for a number of years a dependable member of the select vestry of the Church of the Holy Redeemer. His funeral was held here on Tuesday afternoon with the burial service being read by the Rev. E. Willis. Burial was in the family plot. Surviving him besides his wife at Botwood are two sons, James at Grand Falls, and Clifford at St. John's, one brother, James, at St. John's, and three sisters, Mrs. Julia Barrett at Sydney, N.S., Mrs. Mary J. Gosse and Mrs. Millie Barrett at Spaniard's Bay. "May his soul through the mercy of God rest in peace." The Daily News January 31, 1962 Page: 14 Spaniard's Bay - Humphrey Neil, 74, passed peacefully away at his residence here on Thursday, January 25th. In his younger days, Mr. Neil was a fisherman, but later in life took up carpentry until about ten years ago when he was stricken with paralysis. Besides his widow, his passing is mourned by three sons, Samuel, Wilfred and Herman, all at Spaniard's Bay; two daughters, Susie (Mrs. John Arthur Mercer) of Shearstown, and Sylvia (Mrs. Leander Barrett), now living at Labrador City; sixteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; one brother, Arthur Neil, also survives. His funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 when the service at Holy Redeemer Church was conducted by the Rector. Burial was in the family plot. To those who mourn we extend sincere sympathy. The Daily News May 5, 1962 Page: 5 Spaniard's Bay - Gosse Anniversary We join their family and friends in extending warmest congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Neil who will celebrate their fifty-seventh wedding anniversary on Sunday, May 13. They were married in the Church of the Holy Redeemer here by the Reverend J. S. Adams, and theirs was the last marriage he preformed before his departure from this parish for England in 1915. Mr. and Mrs. Neil are both active, we are happy to say, and best wishes for good health and happiness are offered. Note: Should have read forty-seventh; not fifty-seventh. They were married May 13, 1915. The Daily News June 7, 1962 Page: 9 Spaniard's Bay - James Noseworthy, 44, passed peacefully away at his residence in Spaniard's Bay, on Friday, May 28, following two years of illness. Jim was an employee of the firm of Mark Gosse and Sons Limited and that he was a valuable and dependable one was plainly evident during the long period of his illness when the directors of the firm were exceptionally kind in many ways. Among his fellow employees, Jim was well liked, for he was a man who did his work with a smile and with a song on his lips. Jim loved to sing and was especially fond of the hymns of the church, and these he found solace in when he was obliged to pass many a weary hour on his bed of sickness. May he sing with the choirs of heaven. His funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon to the Church of the Holy Redeemer where the service was conducted by the Rev. E. Willis. Attending the funeral besides relatives and friends were members of the L.O.A. of which Jim had been one. To his wife, his widowed mother, Mrs. Sarah Noseworthy, to his two sons, Ralph and James, his two daughters, Jessie and Sadie, all at home, to his two brothers, George at Spaniard's Bay and Ernest at Shearstown, his three sisters, Effie (Mrs. Richard Noseworthy), Lavinia (Mrs. William Barrett) at Spaniard's Bay, and Winnie (Mrs. Thomas Hunt) at Harbour Grace, we extend sincere sympathy. "Father, in They gracious keeping Lave we now Thy servant sleeping" The Daily News June 15, 1962 Page: 15 Spaniard's Bay - Correction - In an obituary last week of the late James Noseworthy there was an error in one of the surviving relatives. The correct name should have read for the sister Winnie, Mrs. Thomas Pike, and not Mrs. Thomas Hunt. The Daily News March 14, 1962 Page: 7 Spaniard's Bay - Cecil Ronald Peddle - "In the midst of life we are in death" are familiar words to all Christian people, but it is only when sudden bereavement occurs that we realize what they mean to us. Such was the case on Wednesday, February 29, when news reached Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Peddle of Tilton, sorrowfully delivered by their parish priest, that their son, LAC Cecil Ronald Peddle, had been accidentally killed in an automobile accident while returning from work at Camp Bordon, Ontario, the evening before. Cecil Peddle was one of the finest young men we have watched grow up, and we were not surprised that he joined the RCAF in November, 1957, when he was just nineteen. He was one of those boys who wanted to do something more than the ordinary and an organization that stresses careful training, discipline and character building appealed to him. He did his basic training at St. John, Quebec and at Camp Borden, Ontario and subsequently spent a year in Egypt with the UNEF. When his term of three years had expired he re-enlisted for yet another three and had high hopes of making a career with the RCAF. Last June 21 he married Miss Lorraine St. John of Riverhead, Harbour Grace, and shortly thereafter they returned to Ontario to reside. He was only twenty-four when his tragic end came. His remains were flown to Torbay and from there were conveyed to his parent's home by the RCAF on Saturday, March 3. His funeral, a military one, was held on Sunday afternoon at 3:00. Members of the Spaniard's Bay branch of the Canadian Legion acted as pallbearers, and there was a guard of honour from the RCAF at Torbay under the command of Flying Officer Kelly. A Co-worker and close friend, whose name was Kelly also, accompanied the remains from Ontario. The Office for the Burial of the Dead was read by the Rev. John W. Peddle, curate of Stephenville Crossing, the deceased's brother, assisted by Rt. Rev. Msgr. J. O'Brien, Rector of the Co-Cathedral at Harbour Grace. Present in the sanctuary were the Rt. Rev. Msgr. J. W. Peddle, of Carbonear, and the Rev. W. Shallow of Harbour Grace. The committal prayers at the graveside were also read by Fr. John Peddle. On Monday morning at 9:30 Solemn High Mass of Requiem was offered at St. Joseph's Church, Riverhead, with the celebrant being Rev. John W. Peddle, with Msgr. J. O'Brien as deacon and Rev. Fr. Shallow as sub-deacon. There was an overflow congregation for the funeral Mass at St. Joseph's, while for the Burial on Sunday afternoon not half of the number who attended the funeral found even standing room within the Church of St. Anne at Spaniard's Bay. The large numbers of wreaths, telegrams, Mass cards, sympathy cards and letters testify to the esteem in which Cecil was and his family held. There was a message from Most Rev. O'Rielly, Bishop of St. George's, Spiritual Bouquets from the Children of Mary and the Dominic Savios at Stephenville Crossing, flowers from co-workers at Camp Borden and a telegram from the wife of his buddy who was killed in the same accident. People everywhere were kind. Mourning their tragic bereavement beside his wife are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Peddle, nine brothers, the Rev. John W. Peddle, curate at Stephenville Crossing, Raymond, with the RCAF in England, Andrew at Seven Islands, Francis, Jerome, Clarence, Kevin, Terry and Wallace at home, three sisters, Veronica (Mrs. Donald Lunn) at Feymount, Ontario, Loretta, teaching at Tilton, and Regina at home. "May his soul through the mercy of God rest in peace."

Selected obituaries/marriages, etc. transcribed from the 1962 edition of The Daily News, published at St. John's, NL. The Daily News March 1, 1962 Page: 14 Spaniard's Bay - Elizabeth Gosse - One of Tilton's oldest and most respected residents, Mrs. Elizabeth Gosse, entered into rest on the evening of Thursday, February 22nd. She was 84. Known to the community as "Aunt Sis", she was loved and respected by all, and for a very good reason, for she was the type of person who was the salt of the earth. For many years in her practice of midwifery she was a tower of strength to those to whom she ministered, and her pleasant personality enhanced by a lovely smile endeared her to all. She was a neighbour whose kindnesses knew no bounds. She was a devout Anglican and as such she was a regular communicant. She was a faithful member of the CEWA and an untiring church worker in All Saints Branch for well over fifty years. Her funeral was held on Saturday afternoon when the burial service was conducted by the Rev. E. Willis, and her remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband who predeceased her many years ago.

Gosse, St. John's, took place on September fifth at St. Thomas' Church, Rev. S. J. Davies officiating at the double ring ceremony. Mrs. Peter Dawson played the wedding music and accompanied Mrs. Fred Pittman who sang "The Lord's Prayer" during the signing of the register. The bride who was given away by her father was in a classically simple sheath gown of white peau de soie, fashioned with a fitted bodice, long sleeves, and having a bell shaped overskirt falling into a chapel train. Her shoulder length veil was held by a coronet of crystal and pearls, and she carried a semi-cascade bouquet of yellow roses, white-feathered carnations and white snapdragons. She wore a strand of cultured pearls, the gift of the groom. Miss Helen Bishop was maid of honor, in a bronze shade, and Miss Barbara Gosse, sister of the groom and Miss Evelyn Atkins, as attendants, in apple green, wore gowns of peau de soie, having short sleeves and bell shaped skirts. Their shoes were of the same shade as their gowns and they carried bouquets and wore coronets in blending shades of golden bronze, yellow and white daisy mums. Miss Debra Cummings, as flower girl for her cousin, wore a white frock of peau de soie with short sleeves and a very full skirt. She wore a tiny veil and carried a basket of flowers in shades of bronze and yellow. Mr. Heber Bowering acted as best man for Mr. Gosse and the ushers were Mr. George Gosse and Mr. Claude Sheppard Jr., cousins of the groom. Mrs. Newhook wore a sheath gown of taupe cut velvet embossed with white matching hat of draped ribbon and a corsage of orange delight roses.

The reception was held at the Old colony Club which was beautifully decorated with autumn flowers. The parents of the bride and groom received with the bridal party. Rev. S. J. Davies acted as toastmaster and Archdeacon W. G. Legge proposed the toast to the bride and groom.

The last of the family of the late Edward and Agnes Nugent and widow of the late Philip Dwyer who predeceased her about twelve years ago. Mrs. Dwyer lived on Bell Island where her husband worked with the mining company. After his retirement about nineteen years ago they moved to their former home at Kelligrews. She had three sons, two of whom, Walter and Edward, were accidentally killed at the early ages of eighteen and twenty-one while employed on Bell Island. Being a family loving mother she was deeply grieved over their untimely passing. Her surviving son Bernard and his wife, the former Veronica Peddle accompanied his parents to Kelligrews where they provided every comfort for her. She had been in failing health and totally blind for a number of years. She was of quiet and kind disposition, a true friend and a good neighbour. She was a devoted member of her church and was always ready to help in any of its activities and never neglected her religious duties. The large concourse of mourners, Mass cards, wreaths, telegrams and letters of sympathy attested to the esteem in which the deceased was held. She was buried with Mass of Requiem, with Rev. Father John Peddle, of Spaniard's Bay, a close friend of the deceased, officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the family plot at the cemetery in Kelligrews to await her eternal reward of a life well spent on this earth. May her soul rest in peace.
