Carbonear, August 30 -
John Arthur Barrett, boatswain on the Ice Breaker "Sir Humphrey Gilbert" was using his month's vacation to repair, paint and get his house ready for water installation. On Thursday last whilst working from a ladder he was stricken suddenly ill and passed away about an hour and a half later, despite medical attention from Dr. George Kennedy. Deceased was the son of Mrs. Rosalie Barrett and the late Mr. Leonard Barrett and was fifty-five years of age. He was an indefatigable worker and provided well for his family. Surviving are his wife Emmie, four sons, William at Hopedale, John at Goose Bay, Lloyd and David at home, three daughters, Mrs. Charles Elford of Windsor, Ont., and who arrived in time for the funeral, Alice and Shirley at home, mother, two brothers, Nath, crew member of the "Blue Peter" and Joseph of this town, and two sisters, Mrs. Walter Gosse at Bell Island, and Mrs. Richard Ash of this town, and a wide circle of other relatives and friends. Funeral took place from his late residence on the South Side on Saturday. Rev. W. H. B. Gill conducted the funeral service in St. James Church and interment was in the Anglican Cemetery. The many floral tributes and the large concourse of mourners bore ample proof of the esteem in which the deceased was held. To the sorrowing relatives the writer extends deepest sympathy.

Bay Roberts -
Richard Bradbury -
The whole community was shocked on Saturday, August 20th, to hear of the death at the Carbonear Hospital of Mr. Richard Bradbury, Bay Roberts East, at the age of 73 years.
"Uncle Dick" as he was familiarly known, was both loved and respected by both young and old, his wonderful personality won him many friends from all walks of life, above all was his friendship for children who somehow shared a special interest in his life. His door was ever open to any stranger. He gave his best to all community efforts. An ardent lover of sport, he participated in all possible. As the season began, he was a familiar person to all who frequented the hunting grounds.
He was a faithful member of St. Matthews Anglican Church, and was always ready and willing to give to its cause. A loyal member of Victoria L.O.L., also Dawe Lodge S.U.F. of which order he was a charter member.
Many of his younger years were spent in the United States and Toronto. In later years he returned to his native home and took up fishing, at which he was engaged until quite recently. About three weeks ago he was obliged to enter the Carbonear Community Hospital where everything possible was done for him, but despite the care and attention of both doctors and nurses, he passed away on Saturday morning. His funeral was held on Sunday and was largely attended by friends and relatives from all walks of life. At the home the service was conducted by Rev. I. Butler, the hymn chosen "Let saints on Earth in Concert Sing". At the church the hymns "Lord it Belongs not to my Care", and "When the Day of Toil is Done." Those being his favourites. He was laid to rest in St. Matthew's Cemetery.
In the home where he was a wonderful father and husband, he will be sadly missed by his widow, three sons, John with the C.R.R., Solomon and William at home, three daughters, Susan, Mrs. A. E. Atkinson, Toronto, Ontario; Marion, Mrs. Harold Brazil and Annie, Mrs. Mac Parsons, residing at Bay Roberts, one step-son John Russell of Corner Brook, one step-daughter, Mrs. Jack Dawson, Bay Roberts, also twelve grandchildren, to whom the sympathy of the whole community is extended.
For, so today, Uncle Dick is gone, but in the heart of all those who knew and loved him, his kind word and cherry smile shall linger on.
