Throughout her lifetime, Jessie gave tirelessly of herself, helping her neighbours whenever she could and always putting the comfort of others and their well-being before her own. Jessie lived a faith-filled life. She enjoyed visits with her family in the Glen, welcoming everyone with a good cup of tea and her generous hospitality. Meal after meal was served with love to neighbour and friend, hunter and fisherman, family from near and far; we could never count the biscuits, rolls, and pies created by her over the years. You always felt welcome in the Glen. Jessie enjoyed playing bingo, a good game of cards, and catching up on the news. She enjoyed being part of the lives of her many nieces and nephews and their growing families. She travelled near and far for birthdays, weddings, and graduations. She enjoyed softball and soccer games and the Inverness Raceway well into her 90s. Jessie was able to speak the native language, Gaelic, very well. She remembered family histories like no other and loved spending the winter months with Kay and Jack in Maine for many years. Jessie was faithful to her Catholic upbringing and St. Ann.

MacFARLANE Eric Joseph MacFarlane, 17 years old, Dunvegan, Inverness County. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much loved son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, and friend, Eric, on July 26th at home. Eric loved spending time with family, friends, and his dog, Sandy. He had a great passion for the outdoors; especially kayaking, dirt biking, and fixing anything with a motor. At his young age family and neighbours could call on Eric to assist with anything needing fixing. Eric was a grade 12 student at Inverness Academy. He was known for being a fun-loving ,wild, and crazy soul. One of his biggest assets was his generous and kind heart. Eric is survived by his parents Eric and Geraldine (MacEachern) MacFarlane; brother Richard Nerysoo, Dartmouth; sisters Rena Nerysoo, Edmonton; Erica, Allie (Brendon), and Sarah MacFarlane of Ontario; and Rosie Gainey (Lane) of Virginia; grandmother Catherine MacFarlane, Gillisdale; and nieces and nephews Faith, Chloe, Evelyn, and Calvin, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

The funeral was under the direction of Dignity Funeral Home. MacDONALD Francis John "Frank" MacDonald, 74, of Creignish passed away at home on July 28th, 2016. Born in Creignish, he was a son the late Dan C. and Sarah (MacDonald) MacDonald. Frank retired from Stora Forest Industries with over 30 years of service. He will be remembered for his kind and gentle manner, his love of a good story, his absolute delight at a prank or a joke, and his unfaltering love and devotion to his animals. Frank loved nothing more than to go for a visit or to have someone stop in to say hi. It would take but only a few minutes of conversation for Frank to get over his initial shyness and then he was a well of stories and tales. Through the years Frank touched the lives of many of his nieces and nephews, some who live near and some who live far from his farm in Creignish; especially nephews Wes and Daryl Jardine, who were always there for Frank for whatever he needed. We can all tell of stories helping with the hay, going to the exhibition, trips to bingo, feeding the lambs, or putting the kettle on for his "half cup of tea". If Frank was going somewhere, there was always room in his truck for one more. He had a special place in his heart for all of us, however, a very large piece of his heart belonged to grandnephew Trevor (Heather MacDonnell) and grandniece Lesley (Rod MacLellan). If you were to ask Frank "what's new" it would often be answered with an update on what was happening in their lives. Frank loved us all, but was especially proud of them. We hope he is at rest and he will be missed up on the hill. Frank is survived by his sister Charlotte (John Angus) MacLean and sisters-in-law Velma, Tina, and Catherine. Frank was preceded by his sisters Flora (Edward Peckham) and Mary (William Jardine); brothers Jim, Murdock, Alexander, Angus and Rankin (in infancy); nieces Connie Peckham and Cheryl Noseworthy; nephews David MacDonald and A.J. MacDonald; and great-grandnephew Eli Jardine. The body rested in Green's Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury with visitation Sunday, July 31st. Funeral Mass was offered Monday, August 1st at Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church, Creignish, with Rev. Hugh D. MacDonald presiding; burial followed in the Parish Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the SPCA or the Cape Breton Cancer Centre. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Green's Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Messages to the family may be conveyed at www.greensfuneralhome.ca. CAMPBELL It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved father, Gerard Campbell, of Glencoe, Cape Breton on July 26th, 2016.

Coming from a very tight knit family, he leaves behind his sisters Florence (Hugh), Karen (Richard) and Ellen (Charlie) and brothers John (Rita) and Blaise (Ruby).

He was born on October 5th, 1925, to Florence and Eddie White in Inverness. Papa moved to New Waterford to work in the mines after being laid off at General Motors in Windsor, ON where he developed a love of car mechanics. After the mines closed in Inverness, and his mother had to go to the TB sanatorium, he helped his father keep the family together. He became a breadwinner at an early age and looked after his parents until their deaths. He was predeceased by his brothers Gerald “Tonto” and Joe and sisters Marie and Kathleen, as well as a nephew Jerry. He is survived by his wife Theresa (MacPherson/Doucette) and step-children Tish (Russell) MacKinnon, Frank Doucette and Ray (Judy) Doucette, who loved him as a father; his grandchildren, who knew him as Papa, include Gregory MacKinnon, Jenna (Harry) Doucette, Erin Doucette and Steven Peters, as well as Kris (Laura) Doucette, Jesslyn (B.J.) Richardson and Laura Doucette; and great-grandchildren Jemma, Charley, Tiana, Kaitlyn and Ayden. Also surviving are sisters-in-law Beatrice White, Mary Ann White, Chris George, Lorraine Burke, Carmel Timmins; brother-in-law Vince MacPherson; nephews Paul, Roger, Jerry and Daniel; and nieces Barbara, Rose, Jo-Ann, Marilynn, and Geraldine. He had a passion for Scottish music. While in Windsor, he was a regular at “sessions”, where his friend Dan R. MacDonald played and composed tunes. Dan R. would tell those present that Greg was the only man he knew who could whistle a tune in B flat. In the end, George Jones, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson (the three brothers from New Brunswick) would help his family settle him at bed time while he struggled with his dementia. It was a tape he made years ago and he always asked, “Who made that tape?” and would shake his head in disbelief and smile. The family lost their struggle to keep him home and were blessed when they had to give him up to a new family at Celtic Court in Sydney, where he resided the last six months of his life. Papa was a jack of all trades, building porches in Inverness when he was nine years old. He was proud to have built his own home. Even in his dementia, he could be seen trying to figure out how something was put together. If he missed a shift the men would ask: “Where’s Greg White?” Buried twice, he often told the story of the stone on his chest. He lived a good life and tried hard never to offend or judge any other man. He had to stop going to church when he was 85. Cremation has taken place. Visitation was held on Saturday, July 23rd, 2016, followed directly by a chapel service with Deacon Leo Penny officiating. Ashes interred at a later date. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of McLellan Brothers Funeral Home, 3183 Plummer Ave, New Waterford, 902-862-7500. To send online condolences go to www.mclellanfuneralhome.com. We thank God he is finally free.

Denise (Deveaux) Labreque, April 27th, 2011, and Marcel Deveaux, May 21st, 2012. Denise passed away after a valiant battle with cancer in the arms of her loving husband and best friend, Marc Labrecque, at the young age of 47. Denise was a hard worker who loved music, animals and had a particular soft spot for any cat in need. Denise had a bright and bubbly personality and was ready to take on the world with all she was! Denise found heaven when she moved to western Canada many years ago and the view of the mountains gave her an inner peace, sense of belonging and feeling for never wanting to return to her roots in Ontario. Marcel lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 48. Marcel was a twin to Denise, and was the youngest male in our family. He never strayed far from home, always remaining in his hometown of Whitby. Marcel had a passion for fishing, his house was his castle, and he adored his cat, Jerry Lee. Marcel had a great sense of humour and was quite often the practical joker. Marcel was extremely close with his mother Jean and enjoyed spending time with his nieces, nephews and great-nephew. They will be forever missed by Denise's husband Marc; sister Donna (John) Barnard; brother Mike (Cheryl) Deveaux; cousin Lorraine (Dave) Ashworth Brown; niece and nephews Michael, Mandie, Mark Clazie; great-nephew and niece Nolan and Mya; and cousin Tyler Ashworth. They will also be dearly missed by many, many friends, cousins and neighbours. Visitation was held on Wednesday, July 20th in Cheticamp Funeral Home. A graveside service was held in St. Joseph's Cemetery, St.-Joseph-du-Moine. Donations may be made to a charity of choice. Condolences may be sent to cheticampfuneral@ns.aliantzinc.ca <mailto:cheticampfuneral@ns.aliantzinc.ca>. DEVEAUX Remembering a family gone too soon and so close together. Jean Deveaux, August 24th, 2013 and Louis Deveaux, March 4th, 2016. Jean became ill and passed away from cancer very quickly but in peace and without discomfort. Jean’s pain had been the loss of her children which she could not cope with nor bear. Jean could light up a room with her quick wit and humour; she loved to play cards and was extremely competitive. Jean's favourite place on earth was Cape Breton and she wished that she could live there full-time, but that would have meant being away from her children and although they were all grown she still enjoyed fussing over them and welcomed being needed. Our mom was a dedicated wife to our dad for 60 years and nothing made her happier than family get-togethers sharing fun, games and laughter. Dad was one of a kind! He never stopped joking or telling jokes and always had a story for whoever would listen. Dad had more friends than imaginable and loved to spend time shooting the breeze with all of them. Dad was the hardest working man we knew. He was a man of simple means, intensely proud, and filled with determination and willpower. Dad was an incredibly stubborn man but that is what pulled him through tough times and kept him going. Dad returns now to his birthplace in Cape Breton and will rest with members of both his families. They will be forever missed by daughter Donna (John) Barnard; son Mike (Cheryl) Deveaux; niece Lorraine (Dave) Ashworth Brown; grandchildren Michael, Mandie, Mark Clazie, Nolan, Mya and Tyler Ashworth. They will also be dearly missed by many, many friends, cousins and neighbours. Visitation was held on Wednesday, July 20th in Cheticamp Funeral Home.

Hi Maureen, Find attached rtf file which I researched long ago. One of the Fergusons is interesting because he went to South Africa c. 1900 and remained until he died in 1933. Tried to prove he was a veteran of Boer War and could not find data. These Fergusons and MacDonalds lived Calabash Road which is where I am building new house. Hope to be moved before 31 August.
