FLEMING
TOUSSAINT, J. C.
Jan. 22, 1887 OBIT - Last week it was our melancholy duty to record the decease of an old and much respected inhabitant of Carbonear, the late Capt. Mark FORWARD. This week it is our equally sad task to chronicle the death of another of that fine class of men, the old, genuine Newfoundland Planters, whose ranks are being rapidly thinned by the lapse of each succeeding year. Mr. FLEMING, like Mr. FORWARD, died as he lived - a man greatly beloved, respected and looked up to. The family and friends of both these old citizens have our deepest sympathy. They have left behind them a record of which no one need be ashamed. Another old citizen who has passed over to the great majority is the late Mr. J.C. TOUSSAINT, who resided for many years in this town. He died at St. John's on Wednesday last. Mr. TOUSSAINT was a native of France, was born about twelve miles outside of Paris, and would, if he had lived, attain his eightieth year in March next. He came to Newfoundland in 1832, and married about two years later. He celebrated the golden jubilee of his wedding 2 years ago, and was in enjoyment of prime health at the time of his death. Many older residents of St. John's, now living in other lands, will (as our contemporary the Colonist says) recall with kindly regret the cheery smile and hearty manner of the deceased gentlemen.

PIKE, MarkFeb. 12, 1887Obit - Verses composed in memory of Mark PIKE by his affectionate wife, Louisa PIKE How sad it is for one to think - It fills my heart with gloom - To think that one I loved so dear - Lies mouldering in the tomb. He did not dream death was so nigh - But still it lingered near - It cam, just like a thief in the night - And stole from me my dear. Though hard it was to part with him - I loved and did esteem - Can it be that he is now dead - Or is it but a dream? Oh, how that dear one must have felt - No human tongue can tell - Unable for to say one word - Or bid his friends farewell. Oh, could I clasp that hand again - and fold him to my breast - Impress and kiss upon his lips - And on his bosom rest! Can I foget that well-known voice - that sounds so in my ear? - Oh, no, my heart in sorrow burns - Mine eyes they fill with tears.. There did he end his sad complaint - His work of toil is o'er - To think that one we loved so well - Died on a desolate shore. To think that face I'll see no more - Till death shall call me too - And then I'll see him face to face - And meet to part no more. I fancy I can hear him call - And at that call obey - But, no, that voice I cannot hear - It's passed from earth away. I miss him at the twilight hour - When evening shadows fall - When all around seems lone and drear - I miss him most of all. And as I read these sad remarks - My heart with sorrows burn - To think that dear loved one is gone - Ah! never to return. I trust that he has reached that land - That happy peaceful shore - where sin and sorrow never come - And pain is felt no more.
