Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S. Tuesday, 17 Nov 1942: Westville Boy Praised for Bravery by English Air Crew LONDON- Nov.15- The bravery of an injured Canadian tail gunner with the R.A.F. Coastal Command squadron was praised today by other members of the crew of a Whitney bomber, rescued after drifting 75 hours at sea off England's southwest coast. The airman is Sergeant Harry McEwan, Westville, Nova Scotia, who had three ribs broken when his aircraft made a forced landing in the sea but carried out his part in the "dinghy drill" and helped clear it from the sinking aircraft. Other members of the crew were English. The pilot said later after the crew was picked up by a destroyer and taken to hospital that "only for the gunner we might never have been rescued." "McEwan put up a great show," the pilot continued. "We got the dinghy out and filled it with emergency rations and then scrambled aboard. Despite his broken ribs, McEwan held the dinghy against the aircraft. After that he was very quiet. He must have suffered a lot." McEwan's reaction to this praise was modesty. "It did hurt a bit but all I could think of was getting the dinghy out. Everything depended on that." The story of McEwan's bravery was reported by the Air Ministry News Service. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tuesday, 17 Nov 1942: McCulloch Estate, Truro, Purchased by Dept. of Agriculture The Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture has purchased the McCulloch estate at Bible Hill from the administrators of the estate of Miss Isabella McCulloch, lately deceased.

Hello John and all: Janet Lemon, daughter of William Lemon and Elizabeth Farnell is my Great Grandmother. I have seen both spellings of Lemon/Lemmon. I don't know which is correct but my father spelled it Lemon and it was his Grandmother. So we use that in our family genealogy.

Well, as often the case, there is an issue with spelling. I was looking for LEMON when the name is LEMMON. It appears the community, Lemmon Hill Road, is named for WILLIAM LEMMON, born 1803 in England; married Elizabeth Farnell of Upper Musquodoboit. Later, John

John, I don't know the answer to your query -- the only reference to "Lemon Hill" I see in my files is in Jennie Reid's "Musquodoboit Pioneers", where the following appears: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% James Drady James Drady took up a grant of 300 acres in Middle Musquodoboit on March1, 1787. His grant was west of John Braden's. Three men, John Braden, James Drady and Patrick Creigh each took up grants of land on March 1, 1787 and next to each other, this makes it appear they knew each other quite well and were perhaps friends in Ireland before coming here around 1783. James Drady worked in Halifax as a carpenter and his will refers to carpenter tools. If he lived in Musquodoboit it was for a short period. Then in Upper Musquodoboit William Drady took up a grant of 88 acres on Mill Lake. James had 3 sons and 3 daus. Duncan - no record. George - no record. Margaret md Daniel Daye and is buried in Pioneer cemetery. d Jan. 27, 1897 age 67. Mary md. William Chamberlain- no record. Susannah md. ----Farnell - no record.

Hi Linda: Yup, the John and Harriet RICHARDSON are the right people. I pretty sure, but wouldn't swear to it, that the Wm. H. CROOKS marker you cited is for the father of the William Henry CROOKS who is first h/o Harriet ;the uncertainty is because the dates on the marker (or at least the transcription of same) are off somewhat (so what's new about that?). The younger William Henry must have died bet 1873 and 1878 and supposedly died 29 Mar 1878. I finally found John W. RICHARDSON's civil Death Register entry, and he dies at Indian Harbour. But there doesn't seem to be one for Harriet, so the best I can say is that she probably died in Halifax County. Yes, since Matilda (CORKUM) EISENHAUER's death record says that she was born in Chester, which is where Harriet says she was born, and the dates fit, she could be the mysterious Matilda. But that would mean a second and also mysterious (at least to me) Michael EISENHAUER. :-) -----Bob H----- On 4/11/2010 3:49 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Hi Bob, > > St. Peter's Cemetery, Hackett's Cove has: Wm.

Might you find more if you spelled "Eisenhauer" as "Isenor", or "Isnor" ? Both Isenor and Lantz are strong names from this area of Hants County.
