Hi all, If anyone on the list is currently looking through valley papers, could they possibly keep an eye out for a reported death by drowning of a child (surname possibly Dunn). This was a twin, and I do not know if the child was male or female. I am thinking it would have occurred near Greenwood, but am not sure. Possible date would be past 1963 but before 1975. (I know...it's a real loo-oong shot!) Thanks! SueB

Hi Sue, We moved to Greeenwood in 1970 (PMQ'S) and I left home in 1975. I don't remember that happening during that time frame. I hope that helps in some way.

To the Genealogists: I have surplus to my needs, an item of interest to Genealogists; a 200 page (17"x 11") BILLS OF SALE Journal, with thousands of entries.

It covers Pictou County, and was started in January 1894; ending in July 1916. If this material is of interest to you, I can be contacted at (Regent@accesscable.net)

This appears to be the right family. There is a Harold Kenneth HAMILTON born to William and Jennie (FRAZIER) HAMILTON in the vital records for Gloucester for Sep 1902.

Thank you for all the responses on this. It has definitely given me something to work with. "REALLY LONGSHOT question. For Jennie, was her mother's name Mary? Did she have another sister, Eliza, and a brother, Peter? If so, they are also living in Gloucester in 1900. All having "arrived" in 1883 (close enough proximity to question possible connection). Mary is widowed in 1900, though. She was b. @1850, Canada, daughter Eliza, b. @1880, Canada, and son, Peter, b. @1885, Massachusetts." Jared Jennie was the daughter of Mary Jane Bushong b 12 May 1851 in Nova Scotia d 24 Jun 1931 Gloucester, Essex, Ma and Simon P Frazier b Nova Scotia d 18 Jan 1885 at sea from Sch Carl W Baxter out of Gloucester, MA From what I have found Jennie had a sister Mary Ellen that never married b 26 May 1879 Mulgrave NS d 22 Apr 1965 Gloucester,MA a brother Simon Peter (sometimes found as just Peter) b 1881 Mulgrave NS d ????? m Bertha A Butler in Gloucester,MA 29 Mar 1906 a brother James E b 20 Mar 1885 Gloucester, MA d 31 Oct 1886 Gloucester, MA Peter and Bertha (Butler) Frazier were my late husbands grandparents. There is no one left in the family that I can ask any questions of, at least to the best of my knowledge. I am hoping to connect with another line of this family to possibly find out more, thus the inquiry of the obit. My late father-in-law spoke very little of his family. I have spent hours in the library in Gloucester to find what I have so far along with just joining the NEHGS. It has been 20+ yrs of searching. I am originally from Gloucester but now living in VT all I have is the computer until I can get back to Gloucester. I know that have done a lot of work on old records there and have formed an archives committee of volunteers that devote their time to organizing the old records that were found in the city hall there. Thanks again for everyone who has responded Marie (Garland) Frazier

Hello I would like to see if an obit for Adel M. Robichaud can be found, she died May 18, 1972 in Yarmouth she was the second wife of my great grandfather. It may be possible that they lived in Digby county.

Marie, This is the closest possibility I can find, from the Herald newspaper CD: 12-21-65 Hamilton, Mrs. William Bear River This means an obituary was published in the paper on 21 Dec 1965. I did not find any listings for a Jennie Hamilton, other than one in 1996 but with the wrong family.

Hi All, I don't know if it would be possible for someone to look up an obit in a newspaper for me or not since I don't have very much information to go on. The information I have is this: name: Jennie E (FRAZIER) HAMILTON dob: abt1882 Canso, NS married in Gloucester, Essex, MA 25 Mar 1902 to William W HAMILTON b Lower Argyle, NS abt 1879 At the time of her sister Mary's death on the 22 Apr 1965 she is listed in the obit as living in Digby, NS. Any information on the above would be greatly appreciated Thanks Marie

Hello everyone, I hope there are some Foster genealogists out there to assist me in my confusion. I have Elizabeth Dunn birth date unknown, dau of Henry Dunn and Priscilla Marshall married to Stephen Thorne Foster (no dates maybe senior). Then I have Elizabeth Dunn (maybe born abt 1817) dau of Charles Dunn and Mary Foster, married Stephen T. Foster with no dates. I have found a Stephen Thorne Foster born 20 October 1821 at Granville Township, son Samuel Foster and Lydia Chute. There is a Steven Thorne Foster buried Hampton Cemetery, who died 11 July 1857 at 36 years of age, that would make birth appox. 1821. Then there is Louisa Foster wife of Stephen T. Foster who died on the 24th of Oct 1923 aged 80, who buried at Hampton Cemetery with a Stephen T. Foster who died 20th of Feb 1911 aged 7.

...Just beware that some of the history is not accurate, not the least of which is the oft-repeated fallacy that an American train arrived in the city with the first medical aid...I think I ranted about this in an earlier post. Also: the show indicates there were German saboteurs at work who might have played a part in the disasater. This was never proven. Also: One character explains the German character's ethnicity by saying "He's Dutch, they are on our side." The Dutch were neutral in the First World War, and no fighting took place in the Netherlands. It was to The Netherlands (Doorn) that Kaiser Wilhelm fled for sanctuary when the revoltion broke out in Germany after the war. If you Google "Shattered City" and Maritime Museum of the Atlantic Curator Dan Conlin's name you may still find his excellent critique of all that was erroneous about the CBC's production.
