The most interesting wedding parties of my boyhood days, were those that came to Trinity from the different parts of the Bight - Ireland's Eye, or English Harbor.  They always came to Trinity in a cod seine boat, and usually landed at George Stoneman's wharf.  As the procession passed Mr. Christian's shop, where I was working at the time, all work in the shop was suspended till we counted the couples, ribbons and sashes of the bridesmaids, and saw whether the tall beaver-hat of the father-giver was too big or too small for him.  The same hat always adorned the father-giver, no matter whether he had a big head or a small one.  The understanding of those days was: "If it is a wedding, let it be a wedding," and hence no expense was spared for ribbons and gunpowder. A local custom was responsible to continue the firing of guns till daylight; and hence the saying, which is still a familiar one: "Like an Ireland's Eye wedding; a scattered gun all night."  - W.J.L., May 21, 1921.

Trinity.   .... 
Another [early marriage] in 1758, is that of Joseph Hart and Mary Bestone, of English Harbour.  And yet another in 1760, is that of Richard Lockyer and Mary Pottle, of English Harbour. It is evident that the Lockyers, Pottles, and Bestones, were amongst the first settlers in English Harbour.  Richard Lockyer had a family of several daughters and two sons.

The daughters became the wives of the men who came later, and the sons died young, hence the name Lockyer died out in English Harbour.  Whilst scores of family names in Trinity have entirely disappeared, it is interesting to notice that the very oldest names are still represented here.  These names are Tavernor, Jones, Rowe, Tibbs and Ivamy.  They appear, however, in the record of baptisms of 1753, showing that the parents of those children then baptized, had been married before the coming of the first resident clergyman (Rev. Benjamin Lindsay) as his first marriage was, as I have pointed out, in 1757.

I now give dates of the beginnings of some families still in Trinity.

How the Money Went.  Snow Shoveling at Holyrood.

Appended herewith is a copy of one of the returns in connection with the Government's famous snow shoveling campaign in Harbor Main district just previous to the Bye-Election last March.  This return sheet shows that the amount of $233.31 was allocated on account of special work, viz snow shoveling at Holyrood.  The report is signed by C.R. Kennedy who received $11.11 cents, or 5% for commission.  Mr. Michael Kennedy as foreman who evidently put in four hours more time than any other man received as his share $15.00 at a rate of 50 cents per hour.  Whether the rate of pay which on other public roads was 25 cents per hour, was in this instance raised as an inducement in view of the election, the return sheet does not state.  The discrepancy in the amount of work given would point to discrimination and readers may judge if it was used in favor of the Government candidates Messrs. Hawco and Furey.  The pay for all the workmen was 40 cents per hour, and the list is given herewith: -

A report was current in the city at the time of the Election that all the snow in Harbor Main had been shoveled away.  The return of 40 cents to the department of works would seem to be proof that the rumor was correct.

Loss of Schrs. Hopewell and Waterwitch. And Nineteen Lives. [Note: This is a repeat of a news item from 1875, not something from 1921. - TPH]

Two most distressing marine disasters involving the loss of nineteen lives will long make memorable the storm of last Monday (Nov. 29^th, 1875). The early part of the evening was moderate enough, and about four o'clock a craft called the Hopewell, owned by Messrs. Joy of Harbour Main left here for Harbour Main with eight souls on board, including the three brothers Joy (owners of the boat) and a quantity of provisions. Towards dark a gale sprung up, with heavy snowdrift, and at eight o'clock it was at the height of its fury. The Hopewell stuck on Biscan Rock near Cape St. Francis, and in a very short time was broken up, all on board but one man going down to a watery grave. The survivor, named Waugh, got onto a rock and there he remained all night and a great part of the next day. When the S.S. Hercules neared the spot, on her service to Conception Bay, about noon on Tuesday, this poor fellow was seen waving a handkerchief, and Capt. Blandford, of the Hercules, promptly manned a boat and sent her with a strong crew to effect his rescue. The waves ran so high at that time that they could not get near enough to throw a line within Waugh's hold, and a second and third attempt were made before they succeeded in reaching him with a rope and lifepreserver. After three hours spent in the utmost endeavours for his safety, Waugh was pulled off on board the Herculea in a most exhausted condition, but, at all events, saved by the heroic efforts of Capt. Blandford and his crew.

Pouch Cove People to the Rescue.
The Waterwitch which left here for Cupids, soon after the Hopewell, struck in the neighbourhood of Cape St. Francis also, much about the same time. There were twenty-five persons on board and of these twelve, eight men and four women, went down with the vessel. The following letter from the Rev. Mr. Johnson, Church of England Minister at Pouch Cove, shows how the survivors of the Waterwitch escaped, and no praise can exceed the merits of the Pouch Cove people in the saving of these poor creatures, and the care and tenderness with which they succoured them: -
(copy) Parsonage, Pouch Cove, Nov. 30^th, 1875.

Dear Sir.
- We had a frightful wreck here last night. The schooner Waterwitch, from St. John's to and belonging to Cupids is a total loss. There were twenty-five souls on board, out of which we saved only thirteen. I was on the spot soon after the terrible news reached the houses, and helped to haul up the survivors. Every man was hauled up, fast to about one hundred fathoms of line as the wreck could not be approached. We could hear their cries all night below us. It was frightful. The people here behaved nobly. Apply to Messrs. Bowring Bros. for trustworthy list which I have forwarded them, of lost and saved.

Yours truly,

Reginald M. Johnson.

Fined For Using Trawls.
An interesting case was tried at Trinity on Thursday last, when a number of fishermen from English Hr. were charged with a breach of the fishery regulations. It seems that some years ago the fishermen of the place petitioned the Government, asking them to forbid the use of trawls, it being claimed that they interfered with the fishery. Their request was granted, and in the usual course of events became law. This season, however, a number of men from the place, after they had used hook and line, without success, again put their trawls in the water, and despite the old grouch against their use did well with the fish. Other fishermen who had no trawls, objected to their use, and subsequently they were summoned. The case excited keen interest from the fishermen of English Harbour, as well as other parts of the Bay, and after Magistrate Somerton had heard the case he imposed a small fine, and ordered the men who had the trawls to take them out of the water. The fishery in this section was one of the worst in years, and it seems the greater part of the fish were caught in trawls, and the fishermen are rightly indignant over the rules, and will probably petition for their removal at the next session of the House.

Answers to Correspondents. ...
Enquirer. - It is impossible to decide the correct way to spell certain surnames of the present day; as owing to the lack of education on the part of some of the old church clerks, who made the entries of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials in the old Church Registers, the same name is often spelled differently by the respective clerks. Thus, the name you have inquired about is sometimes spelled Ivymy, at other times Ivamy, and again, as it is spelled to-day, Ivany. The balance of evidence is in favour of Ivamy, and such is the spelling on headstones at Bonaventure and other places.

It is the same in connection with my own family name. Though we spell it Lockyer, the old clerks frequently have entered it Lokier. They did that because it gave phonetically the correct Hampshire pronunciation of the name. It looks as though some names strangely and quickly departed from the original. For instance: - On March 3^rd 1783 I find the following entry of baptism: "James, child of Jasper and Ann Hitchcock."

Then three years later, November 15^th, 1786, I find the following entry: Baptized "Jasper, child of Jasper and Ann Hiscock." The same persons with surname changed, and permanently changed. ...

Note: The use of the personal pronoun "I" in some of the articles below, refers to the original author of the newspaper article. This was Canon William Lockyer, the Anglican clergyman in Trinity, who wrote a number of historical and current pieces for the newspaper of the day.

Motor Accident at Holyrood.
Young Lad Struck by Car, and is Now at Hospital.
A serious motor accident occurred at Holyrood last evening the victim being Master James Walsh, 9 year old son of Mr. Daniel Walsh, of the Street Railway Co., who resides on Cookstown Road, but with his father was spending a holiday at Holyrood. The accident happened about 7.30 o'clock, and it seems that the young lad who was boarding at a house opposite the railway station, with his childlike curiosity, went across the roadway and stood by the railway watching the outgoing train which was then at the station. After the train pulled out, young Walsh started to return to the house, when around the curve came a car driven by Mr. Chesley Pippy, who was bound citywards. Before the car could be stopped it had struck the lad in the head, throwing him to the ground. He was picked up in a semi-conscious state, and at a glance it was seen that he was severely injured. All possible was done by Mr. Pippy and as there was no doctor at Holyrood, Mr. Pippy took the injured lad in his car, and accompanied by the lad's father, Const. Grouchy and the Rev. Fr. Walsh, who was in charge of the parish during Rev. Fr. Finn's absence, hurried to the city, where they arrived about 10.30, when the injured boy was taken to the General Hospital. He regained consciousness before he reached the city, and the Hospital reports at an early hour this morning that he was resting easily, and was spending a good night, and it is believed his injuries are not as serious as at first thought.

Trinity
... amongst the hundreds of entries [in the old Trinity church registers], from the first entry in the Marriage Register (1757) to the last one of 1850 there is only one Scotchman mentioned, and he was William Alexander.

The entry in which William Alexander's name occurs for the first time reads as follows: - "July 28^th, 1813: Married, William Alexander, of the parish of Campbell Town, Argyleshire, North Britain, and Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Christian Newell of Trinity."

Mr. and Mrs. Alexander wrote their names, respectively, in connection with the entry; and this is a rare thing to find in marriage entries of those years and indicates that the persons were above the ordinary in education.  The marriage was witnessed by George Skelton, J.P.; and James Pointer Garland J.P.

Mr. Alexander was born in "North Britain" (Scotland) in the year 1784.  He came to Newfoundland about the year 1800; but just how he came or where he landed, I am not quite sure; though from what I have heard from the old people they say he came out as a young man in one of Slade's vessels to Greenspond; and for several years he held a responsible position in connection with Slade's business there.  In this position he got a practical idea of Newfoundland business; and then he decided to go into the business for himself in Bonavista, about the year 1810.  He employed one Mr. Strathie and it looks as though Mr. Strathie brought much of his material with him, as the house is still standing and in good repair - and we do not wonder at that, for its frame is largely of English oak.

Then he came to Trinity for a wife, in 1813.  No family was more highly respected at that time than that of Thomas and Christian Newell; and from that family Mr. Alexander selected the youngest daughter, Elizabeth, and they were married as recorded in the entry I have already quoted.  Then they went to Bonavista to live, and during the next nineteen years William Alexander was principal business man in the place.  During those years two daughters and three sons were born to them.  A photograph of Mr. Alexander (now in possession of Rev. Canon Bayly) taken when he was about forty years of age, represents a man of intellect and good nature.  During the month of June 1928, Mrs. Alexander was taken seriously ill.  One day she grew suddenly worse, and as Mr. Alexander hurried up the stairs to her bedside, his haste and anxiety were too much for a weak heart, and he fell dead on the stairs, aged 44 years.

Mr. Robert Alexander (one of William Alexander's sons) was connected with the business of Messrs. J. and W. Stewart in St. John's for several years; and died suddenly in England as he was about to leave for Newfoundland.  He was a rich man and one of the many bequests in his will for the public good, was a thousand pounds, the first contribution towards building the Old Seaman's Home in St. John's.

Mrs. Archibald Graham, of Trinity, in 1823, was a sister of Mrs. William Alexander, and in the baptism of a son born to Archibald and Hannah Graham in that year, the surname Alexander was used as a Christian name - hence Alexander Graham. .... W.J.L.   Trinity, April 12, 1924.

Trinity
... so far as I can find from the old books, only one man came and settled down from Lancashire, and only one man from Cheshire.  The man who came from Lancashire was Robert Jones, and he who came from Cheshire was Joseph Woods.  Joseph Woods came to Trinity in 1770, and Robert Jones came in 1780.  I have already given a detailed account of the deeply interesting history of Robert Jones; and I shall now from the meager information available follow Joseph Woods through his more prosaic life. ...

Hannah Newell Newhook was born in 1802.  She was a daughter of Chas. and Catherine Newhook; and a sister of Mrs. (Capt.) George Field, Bonaventure.  She married Thomas Gaylor, Jr. of Bonavista in 1826.  She was a widow for several years, and she died at the home of the Newhooks at Long Point (Trinity East) in 1867.  Thomas Gaylor, Jr., was a son of old Captain Thomas Gaylor of Bonavista, who was well known in Trinity during the years of his sea-service; and widow Gaylor had many friends in Trinity.

Trinity. ...
In 1843 William Hogarth was married again to Elizabeth Jones. To them were born: Patience, Mary, John, James, William, Susannah, Sophia, Jessie, Peter and Amy Ann. ... James was married to Ann Fifield (living).  ...

Some months ago one of the present generation of the Miller families in Bonaventure, asked me if I would kindly give them some information as gathered from the old Church Books, re the coming of his ancestors from the Motherland to Bonaventure, and what part of the Old Country they came from. Probably the person has decided long ago that I was not working very hard about it.  This, however, is not so, for I have spent a good many hours looking for the name Miller in the old Books.  Whilst I have carefully tabulated some ninety entries including the name Miller, from 1760 down to 1825, I have not been able to get a consecutive history of them.

There are two reasons for this:

1. The old church clerk who entered the marriages from 1753 to 1768 did not include in the entry the name of the country from where the man came; hence there is nothing in it to indicate whether he came from England or Ireland, or whether he was born in Newfoundland.
   Thus it is the first entry (1760) of the doings of a Miller -
   "October 3^rd, 1760. - Married Richard Miller and Grace Young."
   If the old clerk had recorded, as a matter of history, that the said Richard Miller was from Dorset, or Limerick, we should know that he was the first of that name to come to Bonaventure.  He did not record it, and hence there is nothing else to indicate it.

2. It looks to me as though some two or three brothers appeared on the scene about the same time; and hence, before many years, the entries of marriages, baptisms, etc. of the descendants became so interwoven, that it is impossible to trace them from their original sources, respectively.  Evidently a Richard Miller and a Samuel Miller came to Bonaventure about the same time.
   Samuel was married, before the Marriage Register was begun; hence his marriage is not recorded.  There is, however, the following entry in the Baptismal Register:
   "March 5^th, 1765 - Baptized a son to Samuel and Elizabeth Miller, named Thomas", and in 1788 this Thomas Miller was married to Mary Dean, and to them were born - Frances, Thomas, George, Solomon, Ann and Samuel.
   Then Samuel Miller, Jr., married Martha Ivany, and to them were born William, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph and James.
   This takes the family down to 1800; but owing to so many with the same Christian name I fail to trace the unbroken line of the Millers in Bonaventure; for in addition to the same Christian names of the past, other men of the same surname came out to Salmon Cove (Trinity Bight) about the same time (1800) and there is nothing in the entries of Marriages and Baptisms to indicate which family is referred to.
   Of the entries (from 1760) of marriages of the Millers, there is only one that indicates where the man came from:  - viz:
   "1825 - Married, Samuel Miller of Clivedon, Somerset, and Mary Tobin; and this is sixty five years after the marriage of Richard Miller and Grace Young in 1760.

Where only one man of the same name came out from the Old Country, and his birthplace is included in his marriage entry, it is easy to trace him and the family, through the Marriage, Baptism and Burial entries, right down to the present, as I have frequently done.  With the Miller family of Bonaventure this is not so, and whilst I believe they are all of Somerset stock, yet I have to admit in efforts to give the family lineage.

Violent Assault by Escaped Lunatic.

On Thursday evening last, a male patient of the Lunatic Asylum escaped, and made his way homewards to North Arm, Holyrood, arriving there Friday night.  At that place a 3 year old boy named Kelly, attracted his attention.  The lunatic, so it is stated, badly maltreated the child.

Seizing him by the stomach in his powerful grasp, he attempted to disembowel him.  He then took the child by the arm and smashed the limb.  The authorities were notified of the lunatic's escape and fortunately Constable Grouchy rounded him up and brought him back to the institution.  The child will recover from his injuries.

Jubilee Year.
Star of the Sea Association of Holyrood Hold Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of the Star of the Sea Association of Holyrood was held in their Hall on Sunday, January 9^th. The "Star" annual has become an institution in Holyrood for the past twenty-five years and always draws a large gathering of members to find out for themselves the doings of the Association, to hear and discuss the report of the officers of the past year, and to take part in the election of new ones for the coming year.

Five new members were admitted, including Fr. M. Dinn, assistant to Rev. W.P. Finn, P.P., Spiritual Director of the association. The roll call showed 109 members and Secretary Dwyer's and Treasurer Carroll's reports which were read to the meeting disclosed increased membership and earnings, economy in expenditure, and increased balance in the treasury - all combined are symbols of the Association's progress and prosperity. Upon motion for adoption, both reports were carried with applause. The Secretary was directed to convey to Rev. W.P. Finn, P.P., Spiritual Director the best wishes of the association for a Happy New Year, to regret his absence from the meetings, the past year and his wise counsel and direction, and to express their pleasure to welcome him back in good health ere long to Association and Parish work.

President Walsh Retires. As the officers were about to vacate their seats, President Walsh congratulated the association on the good showing made the past year, thanked the members for their willingness to help, and then gave his valedictory. He told the meeting ill-health forbade him to continue his usual activities in the Association, and that he was not open to the office of President any longer - an office he had worthily filled for several successive terms, and by virtue of which he was sent last April as a delegate to represent the Association at the Golden Jubilee of the Association Star of the Sea, Placentia. Several leading members spoke and regretted Mr. Walsh's retirement from office and appreciated and eulogized his services and long connection with the association.

Election of Officers. Rev. Fr. Dinn was appointed chairman to conduct the election of officers, who appointed Messrs. J.J. Maloney and Bernard Walsh as his clerks. The election which was well contested, resulted as follows: - President - Mr. P.J. Lewis, elected Vice President - Mr. Edward Kirby, elected 1st Assistant Vice president - Mr. Edward Butler, Jr., elected 2^nd Assistant Vice President - Mr. Bernard Walsh, elected Treasurer - Mr. Felix Byrne, elected Assistant Treasurer - Frederick Byrne, elected Secretary - Mr. R. Dwyer, J.P., re-elected Grand Marshall - Mr. Patrick Walsh, re-elected Deputy Grand Marshall - Mr. Bernard Barrett, elected Custodian - Mr. Wm. Byrne, Jr., re-elected Amusement Committee - Messrs.

New Officers Acknowledge Honours.
The new officers were instated by the chairman, Fr. Dinn, who was tendered a hearty vote of thanks for the very able manner in which he conducted the elections. Responding, he promised to do all that he could during his stay in Holyrood, for the advancement of the best interests of the Association. President Lewis, in thanking the meeting for his election was reminiscent, and spoke with a warmth of feeling and appreciation of the work of the association for the past quarter of a century, but was full of zeal, enthusiasm, and confidence to undertake the commencement of the road to the next landmark - the Golden Jubilee. The remaining officers showed their appreciation with thankful acknowledgments. The election disclosed with one exception a new slate. Mr. Lewis, the President, a rising young barrister, sits in the chair his father, Capt. John Lewis, M.H.A., of honoured memory, occupied a quarter of a century ago, and succeeds several outstanding occupants who adorned and dignified the chair and added a wealth of assets to the Association.

Only One Vacancy. But one death was recorded last year, Mr. Thomas Walsh died on Jan. 29^th. The association paid the last tribute of respect to their deceased brother member and forwarded a note of sympathy and a Death Benefit of $40.00 to his son, Patrick Walsh.

Jubilee Year.
This is jubilee year and it is the intention to fittingly celebrate this time-honoured event in keeping with the best traditions of the Association and so as to leave some souvenir n the life of the Association. At night a number of invited guest assembled at the home of Secretary Dwyer and were entertained with card games and smokes. Supper was served, after which felicitous and convivial speeches were made by Rev. Fr. Dinn, Mr. P.J. Lewis and Capt. Kennedy. Twas a real feast of reason and flow of the soul which breathed forth some very nice sentiments, and showered bouquets on the host and hostess, to which Mr. Dwyer replied for himself and his good lady, Mrs. Dwyer.

Rev. G.B. Pickering, B.D., who has been pastor of the United Church here for the past five years, notified his congregation on Sunday last of his intention of accepting a call recently received by him to the pastorate of Wesley Church, St. John's. Rev. Pickering came to this country from England in 1906 and entered the Ministry of the Methodist Church. He attended Mount Allison University for three years, graduating in 1912. He has served in several districts among which are Sound Island, P.B., Victoria, Lower Island Cove, Blackhead and Harbor Grace. In 1923 he was elected assistant Secretary of the Conference and Secretary in 1927 and in 1928 was elected President of the Conference. Rev. Pickering endeared himself to the members of his congregation during his term of office here and he and Mrs. Pickering have made many friends here who while regretting their departure wish them every success and happiness in their new home.
