Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S., 13 Oct 1942: Mrs. JOSEPH HOWARD Boston Word was received this morning of the death, last week, in Boston of Mrs. Joseph Howard, who many years ago, lived in New Glasgow. Her late husband established a flour mill here on the east bank of the East River, which flourished for several years. Later they moved to Boston. Mrs. Howard was a very pretty and a very fine woman and was esteemed by all who knew her.(*I'll bet they knew her first name too.) Her remains were brought to Springhill, where her sister, Mrs. A.H. MacLeod lives and from whose home she was buried yesterday. A brother also survives, Allister Fraser of Saint John, retired Manager of the C.P.R. Maritime Telegraph system. A daughter, Maude, predeceased her mother some years ago, dying in the West, a victim of tuberculosis. To the sister and brother will be extended deepest sympathy from those who will remember Mrs. Howard and will regret to learn of her passing. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOHN H.

McGREGOR Victoria Word has been received in New Glasgow of the death in St. Joseph's Hospital, Victoria, B.C., of John William McGregor, in his 69th year.

The late John T.McGregor, Municipal Councillor for the Churchville district was a brother of the deceased. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TOWN PAID FOR STOLEN BICYCLE The town of New Waterford paid for a bicycle under peculiar circumstances recently. A bicycle stolen from a citizen of New Waterford was recovered by the police and the owner notified. A short time later the owner called for his property but in the meantime another thief had stolen the bicycle from the police station and the town council had to foot the bill. It would be interesting to know if the thief in both instances was the same thief of the first theft and the second theft. One could become involved in the question,"Who stole the bicycle?" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace
