MONSIGNOR BARTLETT DIED ON SATURDAY
Monsignor George F. Bartlett, Parish Priest of Bell Island and Domestic Prelate, died at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital Saturday night at 10.15. He was fifty-nine years of age. The late Monsignor Bartlett had spent most of his priestly career on the Island with the exception of a few months. With his passing the parish of Bell Island and the Archdiocese of St. John's loses the devoted services of a zealous and energetic priest.
The body of the late Monsignor was waked in the chapel at St. Clare's yesterday until 3.15 p.m. and was then taken to St. Michael's Church on Bell Island. It was announced from the Palace yesterday that His Grace the Archbishop will celebrate the Solemn Funeral Mass at Immaculate Conception Church on the Island at 10.30 Wednesday morning.
The distinguished prelate was the son of the late Denis Bartlett and Mary Byrne. Born in St. John's he attended Holy Cross School and St. Bonaventure's College. He left St. John's in 1918 for St. Augustine's Seminary, Toronto, to begin his studies for the priesthood. The following year he entered Holy Heart Seminary, Halifax where he completed his philosophy course. His theological studies were taken at All Hallows College in Dublin, Ireland and he was ordained to the Priesthood on June 15th, 1924. Soon after ordination he was appointed assistant at St. Michael's Parish, Bell Island and spent the remaining thirty-two years of his life there.
On the death of Dean McGrath he was appointed Administrator and later became Parish Priest. On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of Priesthood of the late Archbishop Roche in 1947 the Holy Father appointed him a Domestic Prelate.
Monsignor Bartlett was a devoted Pastor and a brilliant administrator. He rebuilt the main church of St. Michael's; built a new church at Lance Cove; erected a magnificent new church of the Immaculate Conception at the Mines dedicated in the great Marian Year of 1954. During his career as Pastor he caused to be built throughout the extensive parish no less than twenty-eight buildings.
He made a noteworthy contribution to many important community efforts, identifying himself through a zealous and busy life-time with everything that affected the best interests of the parish and the town of Bell Island.
Surviving are five sisters: Sister Mary Baptist of the Presentation Order in South Dakota; Miss Esther; Kitty (Mrs. H. Phelan), and Misses May and Stella, to all of whom sincere sympathy is extended.

WILLIAM J. CANTWELL PASSES AWAY
BELL ISLAND - Everyone associated with the operations at Bell Island and the community in general were shocked to hear of the passing of Mr. William J. Cantwell, whose death occurred at his home, Grammar Street, at 7 o'clock Monday morning following an illness of approximately one year.
William Cantwell was born at Cape Spear, on the 10th April, 1898, and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cantwell. Coming to the Island in 1922 he entered the employ of the Mining Company as a motor mechanic, skilled at his work, he was eventually promoted to the position of garage foreman, the duties of which he very capably carried out until he was obliged to relinquish his duties about two months due to ill health.
After a period of hospitalization he returned home somewhat improved. However the Great Creator had willed otherwise and his gentle spirit passed within the veil on the above mentioned date.
In the community in which he lived for so many years, he will be sadly missed. Possessing a fine sense of humour he was a great story-teller, and many will remember the witty stories told to them through the years. A devoted family man, the deceased, nevertheless, used every available moment for the development of the home into the institution he desired, and his untimely passing is a severe blow to his family and large circle of friends.
Surviving him is his wife, (nee Asenith Clark) of Brigus, three sons, George, Clifford and John, Bell Island; two daughters, Miss Shirley, R.N., of the Grace Hospital nursing staff, Elizabeth, Mrs. Dave Mahoney, Linwood, Pa., U.S.A.; two brothers, Frank, Cape Spear, West, St. John's; also nine grand children.
The funeral takes place this morning following solemn requiem mass. Interment will be in the R. C. Cemetery.

CURRAN, Joseph M
THE DAILY NEWS, 15 October 1956
His many friends in Gambo in particular, and Newfoundland in general, were saddened and shocked to hear of the passing at the General Hospital on September 11th of that grand old gentleman, Joseph M. Curran.
Mr. Curran had entered the Hospital August 7th, where he underwent an operation on September 1st. The operation was successful, and the patient was convalescing favorably, and high hopes were entertained by his family and friends for his full restoration to his usual good health. But such was not to be, for on Sunday, September 9th he suffered a relapse, and passed away at noon on the above mentioned date.
Born at Greenspond in 1878, Joseph Curran was the son of the late Thomas Curran and Mary Murphy. He came to Gambo at an early age, and after attending school at Catalina and St. John's entered the lumbering business in association with J. J., later the Hon. J. J. Murphy.
When Mr. Murphy sold out his timber interests in Newfoundland Timber Estates in 1903, Mr. Curran continued with the new Company until the venture closed in the tragic fire of 1905, when their great sawmill was completely destroyed.
He then started a lumbering business of his own, which he successfully carried on for nearly forty years.
During the first World War, he cut and exported to England many thousands of cords of pitprops - indeed within six weeks of the start of hostilities, he loaded his first cargo for the Old Country, at a time when she was perilously short of Pitwood for her coal mines, owing to the depredations of the German U Boats in the North Sea, which effectively closed off all pitprop shipments from the Scandinavian countries.
He continued the export of wood to England until 1921, when the wood from the Baltic was once more readily available, and dollar shortage in the Old Country, forced her to buy in the sterling areas.
During the depression of the thirties, Joseph Curran with characteristic grit, fought and succeeded in keeping his business going, thereby assuring to the community and the nearby settlements a frugal and decent living. Indeed it is only true to state that Gambo, thanks to the efforts of Joe Curran had the lowest percentage of any community in Newfoundland on the dole. He was ever foremost in all endeavours for the good of his church and parish, and his benefactions to the poor and needy are known only unto God.
Joe Curran's death marks the close of an era when grit, perseverance, and disregard of hardships were the dominant factors, and which to-day are giving way to the soft and easy life of security from the eradt (sic) to the grave.
He leaves to mourn, besides his loving and devoted wife, three sons: Joseph, Thomas and Stephen, two daughters: Annie, Mrs. L. Fahey of Halifax, H.S., and Margaret, Mrs. Vincent Rossiter of St. John's; two sisters: Mrs. J. P. Burke, St. John's, and Mrs. Dr. Curley, Connecticut, U.S.A., and a large number of grandchildren; to all of whom the sincere sympathy of the community is extened (sic).
His funeral took place at Gambo on September 13th with Solemn High Mass of Requiem sung by the Rev. Father Walsh, assisted by Rev. Fathers McCarthy and Carey, as Deacon and Subdeacon respectively.
His body rests in the cemetery overlooking the beautiful Gambo Lakes he loved so well, and his dear soul, we trust, thro' the Mercy of God, is enjoying eternal Light, Rest and Happiness.

Mrs. Rosanna Godsell of Spaniard's Bay passed away on Saturday evening, September 8, at the home of her son, John, in St. John's where she has been living for a few months. Her husband Edward Godsell predeceased her just over a year ago.
Although in recent months she had been suffering from an incurable malady she bore her affliction with the same Christian fortitude that had been her guide all through life. She was deeply religious and in her quiet way tried to put Christian principles in her daily living. If she had an enemy, it certainly was not her fault. She endeavoured to live peaceably with all though out her seventy-six years.
Her family was her chief interest and her home was ever cheerful. Young people especially were always welcome at her fireside and her hospitality knew no bounds.
Surviving her are five daughters, Alice (Mrs. E. M. Culleton of Boston), Frances (Mrs. James Kelly of Boston), Gertrude (Mrs. David Fitzgerald of Tilton), Mary (Mrs. William Sullivan of Spaniard's Bay), and Genevieve (Mrs. Loyola McCarthy of Upper Island Cove); one son, John who is living in St. John's. There are also three sisters, Minnie and Frances in the United States and Monica (Mrs. John Callahan of North Sydney) as well as two brothers William and Bernard Delaney on the Canadian Mainland.

Her funeral took place on Monday morning to the Church of St. Anne where solemn Mass of Requiem, followed by the Office, was sung by Rev. W. P. Hogan. Burial was in the family plot. To those who mourn we offer our sincerest sympathy.
May her soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Spaniard's Bay, September 10 -
Mr. Abe Smith of Kitchener, Ont., arrived here last week on a ten-day visit to his hometown after an absence of just over thirty-years. Mr. Smith left here in 1923 and after a couple of years in St. John's proceeded to Ontario where he has lived ever since.
Since his arrival the weather has been anything but pleasant but still he is glad to be home again to see familiar faces and places. He sees some changes. Some old landmarks have disappeared and they have been replaced. Some have completely vanished. People generally are just as well off and just as comfortable in their homes as elsewhere. The one thing that has not changed is the kind-heartedness of the people. They have not changed and he is happy to renew old acquaintances who are as equally well pleased to see him.
While here he is staying with his mother and his sister, Mrs. Azariah Vokey. His brother Llewellyn who is presently a patient at the St. John's Sanatorium spent last weekend with his family here in order that the two might be together.
We sincerely hope that Mr. Smith enjoys every minute of his visit and that he will not stay away as long in the future.
