THE SYDNEY RECORD WEDNESDAY EVENING OCOTBER 13, 1915 STILL NO VERDICT IN NO. SYDNEY TRAGEDY North Sydney, Oct. 13-The jury sitting to determine the cause of the death of the late Mrs. J.P. McNaughton, resumed its session yesterday evening. The first witness was Mr. John A. McDonald, barrister. Mr. McDonald testified that on Saturday morning about eleven thirty, he went to the Peppett home to have four documents signed, which Mrs. McNaughton witnessed. There was nothing at all unusual about her appearance, her signature was written in a good, firm hand, without a trace of nervousness whatever. Immediately after signing, Mrs. McNaughton left the room to attend to one of her children. Mr. McDonald was in the house about ten minutes altogether. The next witness called was Miss Lizzie McKinnon, who went to Mrs Peppet's to assist in the housework on Saturday morning. She saw Mrs. McNaughton about 9 o'clock, who was then as cheerful as she had ever seen her. Witness was in the kitchen when Mrs. Totten called from upstairs when the shooting took place. Mrs. Peppett and Mrs. Hood, witness continued, were also in the kitchen at the time. These two were the only witnesses examined last night. The jury were not able to render a verdict, owing to the unavoidable absence of two witnesses who had been summoned to appear, and adjourned to meet again this evening. The jurors are, Foreman Alex McDonald, Thos. Grant, Peter McLean, M. D. Davidson, Angus McPherson, Bart Musgrave, B.R. Rice, John McGibbon, W.H. Henderson, Louis Thompson, Max Bethune and Stanley Hackett. Mr. Hugh Ross, K.C. of Sydney, represented Mr. McNaughton. He had nothing to say beyond the fact that he thought the inquest unnecessarily delayed submitted by es718 <es718@freenet.carleton.ca>

THE SYDNEY RECORD SATURDAY EVENING OCTOBER 16, 1915 SUDDEN DEATH FOLLOWS NORTH SYDNEY TRAGEDY Mrs J.W. Peppett Died of Heart Failure This Morning (Special to the Record) North Sydney, Oct. 16-Following so shortly on the tragic death of Mrs. McNaughton the townspeople were greatly shocked this morning to learn of the sudden death of her mother Mrs. J.W. Peppett who passed away at her home corner Pierce and Pleasant Streets at eight o'clock following an acute attack of heart failure. Mrs. Peppet had not been in good health for a long time, though always able to be about, and the circumstances attending her recent heavy bereavement was a very great strain on her. This was further intensified by the departure last night of her only son, Private Claude W. Peppett who left by the 9:15 train to rejoin his battalion at Valcartier, so knowing her weakened condition it was no surprise to the family physician Dr. M.T. McLean, to be summoned to the Peppett home at seven thirty this morning. Mrs. Peppett who was then in a very weak condition was sitting on a couch. Restoratives quickly applied produced no effect and she passed peacefully away at eight o'clock as stated. Mrs. Peppett was a daughter of the late Capt. Peter Moore, one of the oldest families in the town, and being a life long resident was well and favourably known. She was sixty-two years of age. Her immediate surviving relatives are her daughter Mrs. S.P. Bolling of this town and son Private Claude W. Peppett of the 40th battalion, Valcartier, also one sister Miss B.A. Moore who in this their double sorrow have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community. Private Peppett has been notified at Truro of the sad occurance and Premier Murray has requested authorities at Valcartier for an extension of time for him to enable him to return to attend his mother's obsequies. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. submitted by es718 <es718@freenet.carleton.ca>

Hi All, I was hoping someone might have some knowledge of or have an obituary for a Martha Crane who passed away possibly the last year or so .Not sure about how accurate my information or dates are .I was told Martha was the companion of John Hustuc (unsure of correct spelling ). John many years ago operated a corner store in the Sydney /Glace Bay area. Thanks , Arlene _________________________________________________________________
