Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S., Thursday, 22 Oct 1942: JOHN ALEXANDER MUNRO Moose River Friends far and near were shocked to hear of the sudden and tragic passing of John Alexander Munro early Friday morning, October 2nd. Mr. Munro upon arising ran out to an old orchard to procure a deer but in some unbelievable manner as he was stepping over a gnarled branch of an apple tree his gun caught on a twig causing his gun to discharge the bullet, piercing his body, causing instant death as was revealed by the medical examination. The late Mr. Munro was born at Moose River, November 28, 1899, the eldest son of John and Anna (Ross) Munro both of whom are deceased. His only brother died in infancy as did also his own son. All his life Mr. Munro stood ready to assist any who needed help. He truly lived in a house by the side of the road and was a friend to man and only as the days go by will the loss caused by his passing be realized. A quiet unassuming man of simple tastes and habits he passed away as he lived, causing others as little trouble as possible. The Post Office was in the home nearly seventy years and was capably cared for during the past eight years by Mr. Munro. In 1935 he married Eva Cruickshank, R.N. of East River St. Mary's, who mourns the loss of a kind and thpughtful companion. His funeral, the largest ever seen in that district was held in Blue Mountain Church on Sunday afternoon, Oct.4th at 2:30 p.m. the service conducted by the pastor Mr. Nicholson, who spoke very fittingly. He was laid to rest in the family plot at Moose River cemetery. "Shall we meet Beyond the River" was sung at the cemetery. The pall bearers were: Judson MacLean, Albert Chisholm, Alex Stalker,Robert MacLaren, Rod Campbell and Clarence Peers, alll neighbours of the deceased. It gives the names of Floral Offerings, Sprays, Cut flowers,Telegrams and letters(Quite a few).If anyone wishes to have it all let me know. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JAMES E. FRASER MacLellan's Brook Following a serious accident James E. Fraser, son of Mrs. James W. Fraser of MacLellan's Brook, died in the Aberdeen Hospital on Thursday, Oct.1st, 1942. The deceased was thirty-two years old and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was always kind and thoughtful, especially in his home, where he had always lived, and there he is greatly missed. The many beautiful tributes were testimonies of the grief felt at his passing. His father, the late James W. Fraser, predeceased him in 1938 and a brother, George, died very suddenly after a few days' illness, a year ago. There are left to mourn the passing of this beloved son and brother, his mother; three brothers. Gordon D., Honolulu; Walter A., Alberta; and William H., at home; five sisters, Jessie C., Boston, who came home for her brother's funeral; Mabel, Mrs. Dan F. MacKenzie, Stellarton; Mary, Mrs.Ed F. MacLean, MacLellan's Brook; Ella, Mrs.Albert Robertson, MacLellan's Brook; and Ethel A., at home. Also surviving are five nieces and nephews, Miriam and Marjorie MacLean, Donalda MacKenzie, Bobby and Vernon MacLean. The funeral service was conducted by Rev.S.J. Macarthur of Stellarton and the hymns sung by MacLellan's Brook choir. Interment was made at Castle Hill cemetery. The pall bearers were his cousins, Albert Fraser, Lyons Fraser, Walter S. Weir, Weldon Robertson, Harry Robertson and Edward F. MacLean. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace

Good afternoon, I'm looking for any info on the Burris or Parker family of the Mill Stream area. Not exactly sure but may be in the Colchester area. I have a Hiram Burris m. Alice Parker around 1888 or after. The marriage document (from Restigouche, I will assume they moved) has Hiram's parents James Burris and Mary Keith and Alice's parents William Parker and Mary A. Marshall. Both were living in Mill Stream at the time of the marriage. Would love to hear from anyone who may be connected or add any info. Scott Robertson Toronto

I have been puzzled by all the comments regarding the Herald Obits as I have had no trouble with the copy and past method of getting them. The only difference now that I see is that you don't highlight the obit just place the cursor over it and copy. Shirley

Carolyn. Thank you for posting the notice about Philip Weatherby....he's one of the cousins in the large Weatherbee/ea/y clan. This will give more info about him and his short life.

Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S. NEWS ITEMS Mrs. C. James Ross , South Foord St., spent last week end in Truro visiting friends and relatives. Major W.H. Egglestone and Mrs. Egglestone of Halifax, spent the week-end with the latter's parents Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, South Foord St. Mrs. George MacRae of Windsor Junction accompanied by her daughter Miss Jean MacRae, student nurse at the Toronto General Hospital spent the week end in town with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Blenkhorn, South Foord St. Miss MacRae also visited with her friend Miss Audrey Burton. Mr. Joe Hayman of the Bank of Nova Scotia staff, St. John, N.B., accompanied by his bride, were recent visitors in town with the former's mother, Mrs. Arch Hayman, Allan Ave. Pte. George F. MacLane of the Parkdale Training Centre and Mrs. MacLean of New Glasgow were visitors in town over the week end with Mrs. MacLane's parents, Mr. and Mrs.Harry Saunders, MacKay Street. Sub-Lieut. Alexander MacIntosh left last week for Halifax, and will be posted from there to a Naval School where he will take his officer's training course. Miss Isabel Murray, teacher at Hopewell spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. MacLellan, Plymouth. Miss Mabel Wilson who had been spending some time in town with her mother, Mrs. Dan MacEachern, left last week for Kentville, N.S. where she has accepted a position on the nursing staff of the Nova Scotia Sanatorium. Mrs. Barbara Northup of Berwick, N.S. spent last week in town, a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Stewart, MacKay Street. Mr. and Mrs. Willard MacDonald who were recently married in Kentville, spent the week end in town with the former's mother, Mrs. A.R. MacDonald, Pleasant Street, leaving on Monday for Truro where Mr. MacDonald is on the staff of the Bank of Nova Scotia. The infant son of Lieut. Sterling Baudoux and Mrs. Baudoux, born Wednesday, October 13th in the Aberdeen Hospital passed away on Wednesday morning. Sympathy is extended to the bereaved parents. Capt. Fred MacArthur spent the week end in town with his parents, Rev.S.J. and Mrs. MacArthur, Stellarton. Miss Margaret Bannerman of the New Glasgow Teaching staff was the guest over the week end of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Morrison, Stellarton. Mrs. Oliver Adamson and young son were week end guests at her former home, Sutherland's River. Mrs. Clyde Cameron and young daughter Barbara Scott, of Halifax, are visitors in New Glasgow, the guests of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James P. MacNeil. We wish to correct a personal we published on Tuesday when we referred to Ralph Guy as being "Principal of the school at East River St. Mary's." We knew better as Mr. Guy told us that he was going to be in Truro this term but he didn't tell us that he is now principal of the six department school at Bible Hill. At the last Music Festival Mr. Guy carried off the 1st prize in a Rural School Chorus Class and was then teaching at East River St. Mary's- hence the error. We trust Mr. Guy will bring a chorus from Bible Hill to the Fifth Music Festival. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace

It appears that this is when Father Joseph-Mathurin Bourge was transferred from Quebec to the new Catholic parish in Halifax. You can find it all here: www.umanitoba.ca/colleges/st_pauls/ccha/Back%20Issues/CCHA1950/ Osborne.pdf Another group of the flock now claimed attention. At Halifax a considerable number of English-speaking Catholics had settled and were in need of a resident priest to protect their interests in the new land. With a genuine spirit of charity Father Bourg made determined efforts to have the British authorities remove certain restrictions which prevented the Irish Catholics of Halifax the free exercise of their religion. We note that the unjust Statutes regarding the “holding of land” and “public worship” were repealed by the General Assembly of Nova Scotia on December 2nd, 1783, after concerted action had been taken by the Irish Catholics. This new law was ratified and sanctioned by the King on July 2nd, 1784. With the removal of restrictions to the practice of their religion the Catholics of Halifax petitioned Mgr. Talbot of London to send them a priest. The prelate reminded them that Halifax was not under his jurisdiction and that their request should be made to the Bishop of Quebec. When the matter came to the attention of Mgr. Briand of Quebec, he appointed Father Bourg as pastor of the new parish. And the records tell us he took charge on the first day of August, 1785. Father Bourg had only been in his parish a few weeks when Father James Jones, a Capuchin, landed at Halifax direct from Cork, Ireland. According to data at hand, we find that Father Jones was well endowed with fine qualities of heart and mind, causing him to be mentioned in official letters as being “a very good priest, a learned man, and a gifted preacher.” After some months Father Bourg decided it would be in the best interests of souls if the parish were given to the Capuchin Father and that he himself would return to Bay Chaleur.

Hello Kim, Bob, Darlene, Lucie, Judy.... and all who responded to my query about  Bourg's Passage; I believe I have my answer:   In trying to track my ancestor, Jean Pierre Murphy, my uncle's notes said that  John Pierre was in Chezzetcook at the time of Fr. J. Mathurin Bourg's passage (who was there briefly), and then left when Fr. James Jones arrived.     Not knowing where Jean Pierre came from, but knowing he reared 10 children in Chezzetcook, this tells me that it did not mean Bourg had died, or had been deported, but that he "passed through Chezzetcook during the time Jean Pierre was there."   Thank goodness for all of my genealogy friends, and your help.

When the matter came to the attention of Mgr. Briand of Quebec, he appointed Father Bourg as pastor of the new parish. And the records tell us he took charge on the first day of August, 1785. Father Bourg had only been in his parish a few weeks when Father James Jones, a Capuchin, landed at Halifax direct from Cork, Ireland. According to data at hand, we find that Father Jones was well endowed with fine qualities of heart and mind, causing him to be mentioned in official letters as being “a very good priest, a learned man, and a gifted preacher.” After some months Father Bourg decided it would be in the best interests of souls if the parish were given to the Capuchin Father and that he himself would return to Bay Chaleur.

And so where are the registers of RC BMD in Halifax from 1785 to 1800? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Darlene Morrison Sent: Sunday, 14 March, 2010 14:41 To: bob gillis Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NS-L] BOURG Question.... It appears that this is when Father Joseph-Mathurin Bourge was transferred from Quebec to the new Catholic parish in Halifax. You can find it all here: www.umanitoba.ca/colleges/st_pauls/ccha/Back%20Issues/CCHA1950/ Osborne.pdf Another group of the flock now claimed attention. At Halifax a considerable number of English-speaking Catholics had settled and were in need of a resident priest to protect their interests in the new land. With a genuine spirit of charity Father Bourg made determined efforts to have the British authorities remove certain restrictions which prevented the Irish Catholics of Halifax the free exercise of their religion. We note that the unjust Statutes regarding the “holding of land” and “public worship” were repealed by the General Assembly of Nova Scotia on December 2nd, 1783, after concerted action had been taken by the Irish Catholics. This new law was ratified and sanctioned by the King on July 2nd, 1784. With the removal of restrictions to the practice of their religion the Catholics of Halifax petitioned Mgr. Talbot of London to send them a priest. The prelate reminded them that Halifax was not under his jurisdiction and that their request should be made to the Bishop of Quebec. When the matter came to the attention of Mgr. Briand of Quebec, he appointed Father Bourg as pastor of the new parish. And the records tell us he took charge on the first day of August, 1785.

Hi Listers -   You have probably seen my numerous emails about an ancestor about whom I am seeking parents for, John Pierre Murphy (b. 1769).  I have in my notes, the following......."John Pierre Murphy arrived in Chezzetcook in 1785, the date of l'Abbe Mathurin Bourg's passage, and April 1799, when Father James baptized two of his children."   My question is, would anyone know what is meant by "Bourg's passage"?   Sherry    

Hello, Just wondering if anyone has ever seen an old newspaper article about a "Joe" and Emily WING visiting Nova Scotia in the early 1900's. Emily's aunt was Mrs. Julia McNUTT, widow of Charles, in Salmon River? (near Truro). Joe and Emily were from Melrose, MA (US), married around 1910. Emily was the 3rd child of the great-grandparents I've mentioned many times - the "Home Children" arriving in Halifax in 1874. When "Stanley" LEWIS arrived, he became a printer's apprentice at the "Colchester Sun" in Truro. When Mary CORKILL arrived in 1875 at 15, her 2nd placement was with the MacDONALD family in Nine Mile River, which I think is in Hants County. I think Mary kept in touch with that family even after she married in Truro in 1879 and migrated to Massachusetts in 1881. So, her older daughters, when married, Mrs. "Mae" GREENE and Mrs. Emily WING, might have wanted to go visit that family. And, their older brother, "Will" LEWIS was born in Truro in 1880, so he might have visited, also. About 6 years ago I gratefully received a package of "old family photos" about the above family from a former resident of Nova Scotia. I think one of the pictures of Joe and Emily Wing might have been taken in Nova Scotia. (There should be information about the large MacDONALD family in the archives of this List. They took in many needy children.) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)

Hello Darlene I just found info that would be useful in determining where the Cartile bros lived. Information believed collected by Marie Cartile Coolen in the 1970's. A parcel of land in Purcell's Cove owned by a party by the name of Keefe, was said to have been given to the Cartile brothers, whom originally lived in a cave behind where the house stands. The Cartile's sold the property to a family by the name of Safton (deed says it Ws sold to a Mr Petitmaitre -perhaps he sold it to Mr Safton -speculation).who in turn sold it to a Mrs Cody. The present owners (1970's) are Mr & Mrs Robert Tanner (Mrs Tanner is the daughter of Mrs Cody). This property is alongside Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. Carrie
