Cape Breton Deaths courtesy of CAPE BRETON GENEALOGY & HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION VISIT OUR WEBSITE - <http://www.cbgen.org/>www.cbgen.org NEW MEMBERS WELCOME Cape Breton Post September 04, 2013 Wednesday 'I had nothing but praise and respect for Archie' Former alderman Archie Macrury died Monday SYDNEY - Current and former municipal politicians are paying their respects to former city of Sydney alderman Archie MacRury. He died at home Monday at the age of 80. MacRury served as a city alderman from the 1970s to the mid 1990s, including time spent as Sydney's deputy mayor. Manning MacDonald, who recently retired as a provincial Liberal MLA, was mayor of Sydney during MacRury's tenure on city council. "He spent a great deal of time on civic matters and he certainly was the kind of guy that if I asked him to do something as mayor, he would certainly volunteer and do it well. I had nothing but praise and respect for Archie," MacDonald said on Tuesday evening. "He's going to be missed by the community because he was still very much involved with his causes that he wanted to be involved with." MacDonald said MacRury was a champion for those suffering from mental illness, and advocated on their behalf. Growing up in Whitney Pier, MacRury worked at the Dominion coal pier in Sydney as an accounting clerk and later as an administrator at the Cape Breton Hospital. He served his municipal constituents from Ward 4 in Ashby. Mayor Cecil Clarke and council of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality offered their condolences to the family on Tuesday. In a statement, Dist. 12 Coun. Jim MacLeod wrote about how MacRury helped him as a young alderman trying to set about his own political path. "I was a new councillor and Archie and some of the others took me under their wing and gave advice and guidance," MacLeod said. He also remembered MacRury as a famous storyteller with a sharp wit. MacRury played a part in the proposal to build Centre 200 as Sydney's premier arena for sporting and entertainment events, MacDonald said. He was also heavily involved in the waterfront development corporation that was responsible for the construction of the Sydney boardwalk, he added. MacRury is survived by his wife, Beatrice, four children and three grandchildren. His funeral will take place Thursday at 10 a.m. at St. Theresa's Church with Rev. James Oliver officiating. An interment service will follow in Resurrection Cemetery in Sydney Forks.

Cape Breton Deaths courtesy of CAPE BRETON GENEALOGY & HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION VISIT OUR WEBSITE - [1]www.cbgen.org NEW MEMBERS WELCOME Vancouver Sun September 03, 2013 Tuesday The following obituary for Florence in today's Vancouver is from a Barra MacNeil Family. Her father was John P (Boy nickname) McNeil who was from Cape Breton and her mother was Jean B Gillies the daughter of John and Jean Gillies whom came to Vancouver with the 1924 Barra Group. I have no information on her father however her mother was as mentioned the daughter of John Gillies (1855), s/o Neil (1794), s/o Ewan (1765) s/o Evander Gillies (1740). FLORENCE McNEAL McNEAL, Florence Ann (nee McNeil) Florence passed away at Delta Hospital. Survived by husband David, sister Theresa and brother Alex (Maureen), as well as nieces and nephews. Florence was a Professor at Western Washington University, University of Calgary and UBC, and she retired to write full time. She was a poet, novelist, and an author of many books. Service will be held on Friday, September 6th, 2013 at 11:00 am at Sacred Heart Church, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC, with burial to follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby, BC., then Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Doctors Without Borders at: www.doctorswithoutborders.org, or to The Centre for Development and Peace at www.devp.org. Delta Funeral Home (604) 946.6040 : Florence was a well know writer as outlined in this article [2]Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature: Florence Mcneil Born in Vancouver and educated at the University of British Columbia, where she studied under Earle Birney, McNeil is the daughter of Scottish Hebridean emigrants. To her ancestry may be attributed her interest in narrative and in how the past impinges on the present. The poems in McNeil's collections-such as Walhachin (1972), Ghost towns (1975), Emily (1975), and Barkerville (1984)-often take the form of linked sequences, typically grounded in a historical person, tribe, place, or event. Walhachin and Barkerville (later adapted as a stage production and radio play) deal with specific extinct communities in the British Columbia interior; the title of Ghost towns is self-explanatory; and Emily is based on the life of Emily Carr. The overlanders (1982) is based on the trek of settlers from Canada West (Ontario) to the B.C. interior in 1862. The documentary impulse even extends to The rim of the park (1972), drawn from her own life. Besides the sense of historical wonder, her work is marked by imagistic incisiveness and, in later collections, by fluid diction and increased openness of form. Swimming out of history (1991) gathers selections from six previous collections and adds new poems. McNeil, who lives in Delta, British Columbia, has taught at Western Washington State College (now University), the University of Calgary, and the University of British Columbia, but has been a full-time writer since 1976. She is also active as a writer for children, having published Miss P. and me (1982), All kinds of magic (1984), Catriona's island (1988), and When is a poem: creative ideas for teaching poetry collected from Canadian poets (1980), besides editing the anthologies Here is a poem (1983), and Do whales jump at night? Poems for kids (1990). She won the Sheila A. Egoff Prize for children's literature in 1989. submitted by "Angus & Jan MacNeil" <[email protected]> References 1. http://www.cbgen.org/ 2. http://www.answers.com/library/Oxford+Articles-cid-27371084
