    3. The Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S., Sep 1936: WILLIAM STEWART DEAD William Stewart, truckman, of Merigomish Road, died in Aberdeen Hospital following an operation yesterday. He was one of the well-known figures of the town and a genial kindly man who has many friends. He was a son of the late Rev.Wm. Stewart of McLellan's Brook, and had spent nearly all his years in New Glasgow engaged in the coal business. He is survived by his wife, who is now absent on a visit to the United States, and two sons, Athol and Ervin who reside at home with their parents. He is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Dr. MacKay, Thorburn; Miss Grace Stewart, R.N., New York; and Mrs. S. Brooks, New Glasgow, and one brother, Mr. Neil Stewart, of Boston. The sympathy of many friends is extended to the family and relatives of the deceased in their bereavement. Those who knew Mr. Stewart will miss him. He was the soul of geniality and in every regard a worthy citizen. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Interment at Lorne Street cemetery. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CLIFFORD DANE A legal advertisement in the Halifax Chronicle from a South Shields (Eng.) firm of solicitors asked for James Donaldson (also known as Clifford Dane) last heard of in Trenton, N.S. The solicitors had something to his advantage to communicate to him. It's too late. Dane is dead. Many here will remember him when he resided in Trenton and Stellarton. He was a natural born organizerand though not a personally attractive fellow in some ways he had the gift of gathering men about him and inspiring confidence. He organized the steel workers at Trenton and also organized the coal workers at Stellarton and welded the latter into a strong body at the time. He left here and went to Dartmouth to reside and there died. While living in Dartmouth he returned to Stellarton and unveiled the miners' monument, near the car barns. He was never in affluent circumstances and it seems a pity that the good fortune headed in his direction did not come during his lifetime. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace
