Notes: Subject: Obituaries--New Brunswick--York County,York County (New Brunswick) Date: 06/14/98 From The Daily Gleaner Obituaries hand dated Jan 10, 1913 "Mrs. Margaret Little" Harvey Station, Jan 13-Mrs. Margaret Little, widow of David Little and one of the oldest and most respected residents of this place, passed peacefully away on Friday morning after a short illness of bronchitis. She was in the 88th year of her age, but her mind and memory were unimpaired till the last. She was the eldest daughter of Thomas Herbert, one of the first settlers of Harvey and came here with her parents from Northumberland, England in the year 1837. She resided with her husband on their farm at Little Settlement for nearly 40 years and about twenty-eight years ago came to the Station, where she has made her home ever since. Her husband died about twenty years ago. She reared a large family, only four of whom survive her. They are Mrs. Wm. E. Smith and Mrs. M. Briggs, of this place, and Thomas and Eben Little of Coburn. She is also survived by about forty grandchildren. A considerable number of great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. She was a woman of strong character and much more than ordinary intelligence and of very amiable disposition, and had a large circle of friends. She was always ready to help in times of trouble, both by word and deed and held a large place in the affection of the community. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was largely attended, despite the cold rainy weather which prevailed. ______________________________________________________ Lomas, John, of Halifax, formerly of Derby, England (1836-1907) Contributor: Anna M. MacDonald Date: 03/03/99 ContributorEmail: at828@chebucto.ns.ca Source: The Evening Mail, 4 Nov 1907, p. 12. Ed. Notes: Subject: Obituaries--Nova Scotia--Halifax County Material Type: Obituary` The Evening Mail, Monday, 4 November 1907, p. 12, col. 2: The Proprietor of the Lorne Passes Away John LOMAS' Unexpected Death Casts a Gloom Over the Popular Morris Street Hotel There passed away at half-past four o'clock this morning, at the Lorne House, of which for twenty years he has been the proprietor, John LOMAS, one of the best known men in Halifax. The sad news will be received with great surprise and genuine regret. An air of gloom pervaded the Lorne House this morning, for the genial host was heartily liked by all the guests, and his death after a week's illness was a real shock to them. In June last Mr. LOMAS fell ill, and about eight weeks ago he underwent the amputation of one of his legs. The result was in a high degree satisfactory and he had apparently made a complete recovery, when, one week ago, he contracted a heavy cold. Pneumonia subsequently developed, but a fatal termination was not dreamed of until yesterday, when an ominous change in his condition made it impossible to encourage any hope of his recovery. He passed away in the early morning in the house which under his admirable management has become one of the most popular private hotels in the whole province. John Stakesby LOMAS was an Englishman. On November 23, 1836, he was born in Derby, England. At the age of 17 years in the midst of stirring times, he enlisted in the British army and was subsequently ordered with his regiment - the sixty-second - to the Crimea, where he gallantly defended the flag through a memorable, a glorious campaign. At the close of the war his regiment was ordered to Halifax. Here he purchased his discharge from the army, and was successively thereafter in the employ of Lord MULGRAVE, the officer commanding; Sir Brenton HALIBURTON and Mr. Enos COLLINS, as butler. Subsequently he became steward at the Halifax hotel and still later visited the United States. In 1887 he returned to Halifax and purchased the property now known as the Lorne House, which he has since continuously conducted. He married in 1859 Ellen, daughter of William HAZLETT, of England, who died in 1892, at the age of 55 years. Four children of this marriage survive - George A., baggage master on the Intercolonial railway; Emma (Mrs. CAMERON), living in Winnipeg; Laura, wife of Rufus ZWICKER, chief engineer on the government steamer Tyrian, and John W., unmarried and living at home. Mr. LOMAS' second wife, who survives him, was Jessie, daughter of Charles WHYTE, of Turiff, Scotland. There was one child of this union - Isabel May - who also survives her father. Mr. LOMAS' death removes a sterling man. Sympathy will be widely felt for his wife and family. He was an active Mason and a member of St. Mark's Lodge. Every one of his fellow members will feel his loss as a personal sorrow. "LOMAS", said one this morning, "was a good fellow." He was in politics a staunch conservative. He was a member of St. Luke's, whence his funeral will take place at half-past three o'clock on Wednesday to Camp Hill cemetery, Dean CRAWFORD officiating. And also at p. 12, col. 4: Died - LOMAS - At his residence, the Lorne House, Morris street, on the morning of November 4, John Stakesby LOMAS, a native of Derby, England, in the seventy-first year of his age. Funeral at 3.30 P.M., on Wednesday, from the Pro-Cathedral of St. Luke, and thence to Camp Hill cemetery.

Notes: Material Type: Newspaper article Subject: Obituaries--Nova Scotia--Halifax County,Herring Cove (Halifax County) Date: 06/09/98 The Evening Mail, Monday, 14 January 1907, p. 8: Herring Cove Fisherman Loses His Life in the Snow Storm of Saturday Night William MANN, of Herring Cove, was drowned on Saturday night almost within sight of his home. MANN had been in Halifax on Saturday and set out to return in the afternoon. He did not reach home, and in the morning parties found his boat on the rocks broken up. Further search discovered the body. The boat had capsized, probably by a squall, or MANN lost his way in the blinding snow that was falling heavily, driven by a high wind, and his boat struck and he perished within a few rods of his home. The Evening Mail, Tuesday, 15 January 1907, p. 3: Great difficulty was experienced by the residents of Herring Cove in recovering the remains of William MANN, who was drowned Saturday night within sight of his home by the capsizing of his boat. The body was discovered at ten o'clock Sunday morning, a few yards from the shore. As this part of the shore where the body was located was very rocky, it was impossible to launch boats, as they would have been dashed to pieces. As the sea was rough the body was carried right upon the beach, but before the men could reach it another sea would come up and carry it out again. Grappling hooks were attached to long pieces of wood and these were floated out and at three o'clock in the afternoon they finally succeeded in recovering the body. Download 0.99 Mb.
