I have not been able to find out who his parents were. I think it was Joseph & Sophia (Decker) Kelley/kelly but can't find any proof. Through chuch records I found 8 of their children but nothing on Martin. Sure hope someone can help. Thanks, Sandy Williams Hi Anne: Sarah Maria Blakely was the 2nd daughter of Ora Blakely & Catherine Corey. Catherine was the daughter of Caleb Corey & Mehetabel Rockwell. All I know about Martin is his name, year of birth and that he was a cabinet-maker from Philipsburg. Several of Joseph Kelley's children were also born in Philipsburg. Philipsburg Anglican Church records. The child born in 1833 was baptised at St. Armand Meth. Church. Two baptised 1835 & 1837 at Stanbridge Angelican Church. Sandy Williams

LEANDRE GAUDREAU e-mail address: [email protected] =============================== HERE AND THERE The Coaticook Observer - Coaticook, Thursday, April 23rd. 1931, page 1, co Charles J. Cushing Passed Away Friday in 82nd. Year. Deceased, life-long resident of Barnston and prominent in its civic affairs, was son of pioneer settlers. Funeral last Sunday. Barnston in particular, and this district as a whole, lost on Friday last, in the death of Mr. Charles J. Cushing at the age of 81 years, one, who born in Barnston, had resided the whole of his life on the homestead established by his pioneer parents, and had filled usefully and with honor almost every office in the civic affairs of his native place. The late Mr. Cushing was taken suddently ill on Wednesday morning, the 15th instant, and passed away on Friday morning the 17th, from Angina Pectoris. Deceased, Charles Jackson Cushing, was born February 1st. 1850, son of Manda and Patsy Eliza (Abbott) Cushing, pioneer settlers in Barnston, at the homestead established by them when they arrived from Peacham, Vermont, during the early part of last century. He was educated at the Barnston Academy, which at that time was a noted school in this part of the country. He served as Councillor for fifteen yeaers, three terms as Mayor, School Commissioner, and Justice of the Peace for 50 years, and was active in educational matters. In politics he was a Liberal, and his religious affiliations were with the Barnston Baptist Church. On June 17th, 1885, he married Amelia Carr, daughter of Francis Carr, of Compton, Que., and sister of Mr. Guy Carr, of Compton, and Mrs. C.C. Cabana, of Sherbrooke, who predeceased him on June 3rd, 1915. In October 1915 he married Mrs. Emily A. Hadlock, widow of the late George Hadlock, of Compton, who survives him. With the exception of the winters of 1914-15 and 1916-17 spent in California, he spent the whole of his life on the family homestead, to which he succeeded in 1914. He is survived by his wife; one sister, Mrs. Emily Cushing Sheldon of Minneapolis, Minn., and her children, Benjamin, in California, Don, Abbott and Brooks, in Minneapolis, and Mrs. Dean W. Myers, Ann Arbor, Mich.; a sister-in-law, Mrs. Will Cushing, Newark, N.J., and her son Thurber W. (Ted) Cushing; and two nephews, Dr Archie Nathaniel Jenks, Montreal and Abbott Cushing Jenks, Coaticook. His brothers, Edward and William, and sister, Mrs. Nancy Cushing Jenks, predeceased him many years ago. The funeral was held from his late home to the Baptist Church, Barnston, on Sunday afternoon last the 19th instant, at 2.30 o'clock p.m. Prayers at the house preceded the service in the church. The service was conducted by the Rev. W. Harris Wallace, pastor of the Coaticook and Barnston churches, assisted by the Rev. C.P.England, of Waterville. At the service in the church, a quartette composed of Mrs. William Wallace, Miss Helen Anderson and Messrs, Harold Allen and Alden A. Learned, of Coaticook, sang the hymns, "The Sand of Time are sinking", and "Abide with me." Pall-Bearers were Messrs Charles & Homer Cleveland and W. H. Buckland of Barnston, and Guy Carr of Compton, brother-in-law. A life-long friend, Mr. Geo. B. Hall, of Barnston, was to have been one of the Pall-Bearers, but was unable to attend by reason of sudden illness, the death of his old friend having so deeply affected him. The Bearers were, his two nephews, Dr. A. N. Jenks, of Montreal, Abbott C. Jenks of Coaticook & Mssrs G.A. Hadlock of Lennoxville and S. W. Hadlock, Montreal, step-sons. Many telegrams of sympathy and regret from relatives and friends at a distance who were unable to attend, were received and the floral tributes of affection and esteem were many and eloquent of the great affection in which deceased was held by all who knew him. Among them was a beautiful floral pillow from Mr. and Mrs. Heber C. Peters, of New-York City. Mr. Peters having been a great friend of deceased for many years, and a frequent visitor at his home. Relatives and friends present from out of town, beside those mentioned were: Miss Margaret Abbott, Mr. William Abbott, Mr and Mrs.McKindsey, Mrs. G.A.Hadlock and son Douglas, Lennoxville; Mrs. S. W. Hadlock, Montreal; Mrs Guy Carr, Compton; Mr. Addison Cushing, Dixville, Mr and Mrs A. Martin, Dixville; Mr and Mrs B. E. Converse and Miss Clemmer Converse, Orleans, Vt.; Mr and Mrs. C.H.Remick, Frelighsburg, Que; Mrs Chestina Baldwin and Mrs M. B. Lovell, Coaticook; Mr and Mrs Charles Thornton, Magog; and many others from Coaticook, Dixville, Magog, Ayer's Cliff, Hatley, North Hatley and Waterville. To Mrs. Cushing, his sister Mrs. Sheldon, and the members of their families, the "Observer" tenders deepest sympathy. ========================== 1881 CANADA CENSUS Charles J.

What is likely to be the last of my columns on the Post 1901 Census issue for the year 2004 has been posted to http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/gazce/gazce110.htm Topics included in this issue include: Information Commissioner proceeding with legal action; Bill S-18; and Holiday Greetings. Unless something extraordinary happens my next column will be posted sometime in January 2005. As of Tuesday 14 December, Second Reading debate of Bill S-18 in the Senate has not yet been resumed. As there is, at most, today and Thursday left before the Senate recesses for the Christmas break, it would seem unlikely that Bill S-18 will be referred to Committee this year. Perhaps the Grinch has found a home in the Senate chambers. <]:-) Parliament will not resume sitting again until Monday, 31 January 2005. I leave Friday morning to travel to Calgary to spend Christmas with my son and two of my granddaughters. While I am away I will be keeping up with my email, and what, if anything is happening with the Census issue. It is unlikely that I will be doing much, if any, updating of the Post 1901 Census Project website. I will be returning home a few days after the New Year. For those who, like myself, drive to visit loved ones at this time of year, I urge you to take a little extra care, and a little extra time to get where you are going. Whether you travel a great distance, or only a few miles, we want you to return home safely. At the risk of being considered 'politically incorrect', I will take this opportunity, on behalf of myself and the Canada Census Committee, to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best Wishes also to anyone who may not celebrate Christmas, but celebrate holidays specific to their own faith. May each of you enjoy good health, good cheer, and prosperity in the coming year.

To all -- Should there be a branch of the Latter Day Saints in your city or town, I would suggest printing the letter which was part of the column by Gordon Watts, plus take copies of census petitions -- I am certain these would be well-received. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/index.htm Make a note to pick them up about January 15 to mail to us.

It is copied here with permission. November 23, 2004 The Honourable David Emerson Minister of Industry 5th Floor, West Tower C.D. Howe Building 235 Queen Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H5 Canada RE: Support for Release of Census information Dear Minister Emerson: This letter is to express the support of the Genealogical Society of Utah ("GSU") for the passage of S-18, the Senate bill that would make Canadian census information available to family historians 92 years after collection. GSU is affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which operates the largest family history library in the world located in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. The library's purpose is to provide access to recorded genealogical data for use by family historians, genealogists, and other who have a legitimate interest in such information. Open to the public at no charge, the library has over 4,000 branches (called Family History Centers) in 88 countries, including 154 Family History Centers in Canada. It is estimated that Family History Centers in Canada serve approximately 172,000 Canadian citizens annually. As you are keenly aware, census records are in important source of information to historians and genealogists, providing such information as names, birth dates, country of origin, occupations, and other valuable information. GSU supports the release of census information to allow interested persons to trace their heritage and believes that release of such information 92 years after its collection provides adequate privacy protection. GSU is concerned about the informed consent provision in subsection 18.1(2) that would apply to the 2006 and 2011 censuses. GSU notes, however, that, pursuant to the terms of S-18, the informed consent provision will be re-evaluated after 2011. Because of its detrimental impact on the historical and heritage value of census records, GSU respectfully suggests the removal of the informed consent clause at that time. Notwithstanding this concern, recognizing the sincere efforts by the interested constituencies that have resulted in S-18, GSU reiterates its support for S-18. GSU further expresses its sincere appreciation to you and Senator Lorna Milne for this initiative to make census information available to the public. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely, (Signed) Wayne J. Metcalfe Vice President Cc: The Right Honourable Paul Martin The Honourable Liza Frulla Senator Lorna Milne
