(This must be the man killed in the industrial accident in Dartmouth yesterday) Worker falls to his death (From the Halifax Herald July 29, 2004) Two men drop eight metres when steel roof joist slips By SUSAN BRADLEY and DAVENE JEFFREY / Staff Reporters A construction worker was killed Wednesday morning in a Dartmouth business park in a fall caused by the collapse of a steel joist. The accident, the second this month at a work site on John Savage Avenue in Burnside Park, happened at 7:30 a.m. and slightly injured another man. "The preliminary information we have is that two employees were on a steel joist when it slipped out of a pocket in the wall," Labour Department spokeswoman Penny McCormick said. Both men were employed by Marid Industries of Lower Sackville, which specializes in steel construction. Marid is building the steel frame for a large warehouse in the business park. B.D. Stevens Ltd. is the general contractor. Earlier this month, the Labour Department issued Marid four orders under the Occupational Health and Safety Act after one of its employees fell from a man lift, suffering minor injuries. Work on the construction job ceased after Wednesday's accident. At noon, the site had been taped off and a group of people with hard hats were examining the area. A spokesman for Halifax Regional Police said the investigation has been turned over to the Labour Department. Marid general manager David Oulton said the men were working on the roof of the warehouse, about eight metres off the ground, when the accident happened. Their identities have not been released, although police said the deceased man was 37 and from Cape Breton. Mr. Oulton said the ironworker had worked for the company on and off for several years. The other worker involved in the fall was taken to hospital and returned with a bandage on his arm, Mr. Oulton said. "He says there is nothing wrong with him," Mr. Oulton said. He confirmed the man was quite shaken up but considers himself very lucky. The company has employed about 12 workers at the John Savage Avenue job site. They have been working since the first of the month and the project is about two-thirds complete, Mr. Oulton said. Marid has an excellent safety record, the general manager said. "We are extremely to inordinately concerned about safety," Mr. Oulton said, adding this is the first serious accident in the company's 21-year history. On July 16, a Labour Department inspector was called to investigate after a Marid worker fell out of a man lift, a crane-like machine with a basket at the end of the boom. "The worker was suspended by his safety harness when the weld on a beam let go," Ms. McCormick said. She said the man sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the fall. Mr. Oulton described the injury as a cracked rib. "He was back at work but on light duty for a couple of days." The company was ordered to submit an accident incident report, have its fall protection system inspected, develop a safe work procedure for temporary supports on structures and inspect its man lift. No stop-work order was issued. Mr. Oulton said Marid has complied with the orders. The Labour Department is investigating both accidents. "We look at the workplace, the people, the environment and materials, all as factors that may have contributed to the accidents," Ms. McCormick said. "This usually takes a minimum of six weeks to complete." Wednesday's death brought to 10 the number of workplace fatalities in Nova Scotia since Jan. 1. | |||

| Doucet | Lucy Jane Doucet | Cape Breton Post | 18/03/2005 | Carol MacLean | Lucy Jane Doucet, 96, of Pere Fiset Guest Home, Cheticamp, formerly of Belle Cote, died March 15, 2005, in the guest home. Born in Belle Cote, Inverness County, she was the daughter of the late Marcellin à John à Basil Chiasson and Flavie à Laurent à Placide (Chiasson) Chiasson. She was a member of St. Michael Church, Margaree. Prior to taking up residence at Foyer Pere Fiset in Cheticamp, she lived most of her life in Belle Cote where she and her husband, Henry, lived most of their lives with the exception of their early married years in Halifax and later in life in Sydney, with their son, Rev. Daniel. Lucy lost many siblings in her early years, which strengthened her ability to survive and enabled her to tell stories, laugh and sing songs into her old age. Lucy did not fall for flowery or embellished descriptions of people and therefore, her frankness has left us with an image of someone who worked hard all her life who lived life to its fullest in its most basic form. Her Acadian roots enabled her to remember many French, English and Irish songs which would have become lost without her contribution. She was audio and videotaped several times, including a song "Allons dancer lanture" or "Les Oiseaux des Champs", to be found on the CD of Delores Boudreau, which is a song Lucy learned at age 10 and never sang again until she was around 65. She is survived by daughter, Florence (Bill) Robinson, Glouchester, Mass., U.S.A.; son, Rev. Daniel Doucet, Sydney; grandchildren, Bill Jr., J.P., Michael, Frankie, Danny; several great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Patrick 'Henry'. She was also predeceased by Helen, Joseph and Danny Mike, who lived t o reach adulthood; there were other siblings who predeceased her at an early age. Visitation will be today (Friday), from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at Belle Cote Community Centre. Funeral mass will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. in St. Michael's Church, Margaree, with her son, Fr.

| Duff | Mrs. James Duff | The Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S. | 28/12/1923 | Carolyn Wallace | : Stellarton Shooting Ends Fatally Cecil Lawrence, a young coal miner, of Evansville, Stellarton, is in jail charged with the murder of Mrs. James Duff belonging to the same place. The shooting took place on Sunday night following a drunken spree and fight at Evansville, in which several people took part. The story as related at the Coroner's Inquest was that Mrs. Duff had gone to the front door to close the storm door when Lawrence appeared with a shot gun. There were some words between them. Mrs. Duff telling him to put away the gun and Lawrence calling her a dirty Canadian. He fired two shots from the gun, the loads entering her body and inflicting serious wounds. She was taken to the hospital and there died on Christmas Day. The Coroner's Jury had no difficulty in finding that Mrs. Duff came to her death by being shot by Cecil Lawrence. A charge of murder was immediately laid against Lawrence, who had been under arrest, and a companion Vincent Roubiski was also arrested as accessory to the crime. The charge against Roubiski is that he did unlawfully counsel and abet one Cecil Lawrence to murder Elizabeth Duff. R.D. Graham is Crown Prosecutor and R.H. Graham, K.C., is acting for the prisoners. The preliminary trial was th have opened this morning before Stipendiary Finlay G. MacDonald, but owing to the illness of R.H. Graham, was adjourned until tomorrow morning. Lawrence and Roubiski are both Poles and lived in the same house at Evansville. There were found in their home other implements such as black jacks, knives, etc. indicating that these foreigners went about well armed. The whole sordid story as revealed at the Coroner's Inquest, is a rather astounding one and it is not a surprise that such conditions should develop into the tragedy stage. (*Cecil Lawrence was acquitted as not guilty at his trial ) The Duff family came from Cape Breton and Mrs. Duff(nee Jello) was a native of Mulgrave. Her husband is a locomotive engineer in the employ of the Acadia Coal company. There are nine children in the family, the youngest an infant of about twelve months. The remains of the victim of the tragedy are now lying at the family residence and the funeral will take place tomorrow to Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Stellarton. | |||

| Duffett | Harold Duffett | Sydney Post Record p 12 | 30/07/1940 | R. Fraser | HAROLD DUFFETT, 14, DROWNS IN ATTEMPT TO HELP COMPANION Morien Hill Youth Loses Life In Sight Of Shore At Glace Bay Lake; Leo Jackson, 10, Saved Glace Bay, July 29 - Glace Bay Lake this afternoon was the scene of the first drowning in the colliery districts this year, when Harold Duffett, 14 year old son of Mr and Mrs Albert Duffett, Morien Hill, drowned while engaged in the rescue of a younger companion, Leo Jackson, who got into difficulties while swimming from a float, anchored in the lake, to the shore about 300 feet away. The accident occurred about 150 feet from shore where upwards of fifty young people were bathing. The body was recovered from the water within a few minutes of the time the victim sank from sight and for nearly three hours relays of workers administered artificial respiration in an effort to revive the spark of life in the young lad. Efforts Fruitless Despite the untiring efforts of the workers, however, death took place about seven o’clock at the Glace Bay General hospital where he had been removed shortly after being taken from the water. The accident took place about four o’clock this afternoon not far from No. 24 colliery. From information gleaned from eye witnesses it is learned that Duffett and young Jackson, 10 year old son of Mr and Mrs James Jackson, School street, Caledonia, were among a group of others playing around the raft which is anchored in deep water. Jackson attempted to reach shore, but had not proceeded far when it became evident that he was unable to negotiate the distance, Duffett, a particularly strong swimmer, went to his assistance and grappled with the boy. Goes To Assistance However, for some reason he was unable to make progress towards shore and when it became evident that both were in difficulties, Jeanette Moore, 17 year old resident of School street, Caledonia, went to the assistance of the struggling pair. Miss Moore succeeded in freeing Jackson and proceeded to shore with the boy who was none the worse for his experience. For some reason Duffett sank below the surface and did not reappear. Two older youths, Michael Donadue and Gordon McInnis then proceeded to the spot where he had disappeared and within a minute or two had recovered the unfortunate lad and took him to the beach. Members of a military unit encamped nearby were on the scene when the boy was brought ashore and immediately proceeded with resuscitation efforts. Call was despatched to town police and Sergeant Art Frost and Officers Leo Gouthro and John McSween responded and assisted in the work. Vincent J McGillivray’s ambulance was on the scene within a few minutes and immediately the unconscious boy was rushed to the Glace Bay hospital where medical examination was conducted by Dr F G McAskill, and resuscitation resumed. These efforts were continued for upwards of three hours but shortly after seven o’clock the work was suspended when it became evident that life was extinct. Well Known Youth The youthful victim of the accident was particularly popular with residents of the Caledonia district where he resided all his life, and deep sympathy was expressed on all sides tonight for the surviving members of his family who are widely known in Glace Bay. Several years ago the victim and his younger brother, Gordon, narrowly escaped death from drowning when they broke through the ice on No. 2 dam and were struggling in the water for several minutes when they were rescued by a passerby who noticed their plight. To Hold Inquest Inquest into the fatality will be conducted before coroner A B McGillivray tomorrow, it was announced tonight. Jury will view the remains at the Funeral Parlors of Vincent J McGillivray at 9:30 Tuesday morning, and the inquiry will be conducted later. Besides his parents, the unfortunate boy is survived by six sisters and one brother. The sisters are Mrs Stanley Pitts, Halifax, Mrs George Hopewell, Mrs Arthur Grant, Mrs Sam Smith, living at Glace Bay and Jennie Duffett and Lillian Duffett, both residing at home. Gordon Duffett, is the surviving brother. Funeral will likely be held Thursday afternoon, members of the family intimated tonight. | |||

| Duffy | Dorothy Duffy | Cape Breton Post | 29/12/2005 | Carol MacLean | Dorothy Duffy SYDNEY It was a glorious day in June 1923,when a spirited, red-headed girl graced the lives of her parents, Harry and Lillian MacKenzie of New Waterford. It was a dark, cold winter night, Sunday, Dec. 18, 2005, when much to our surprise, she bid us farewell. She is joining her husband, Bill, parents and grandson. A private memorial service was held at Sydney Memorial Chapel, conducted by family friend, Rev. Dana Feltmate. Dot was a very proud member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. She received her certificate in cooking from MacDonald College in Guelph, Ont. During the Second World War, she served Canada in Torbay, N.L. All that knew her delighted in the stories of her fondest memories of her life in the service. Although her war stories were her favourite, the tales of her early life in Cape Breton captivated us, especially the one of how she got her first pair of gumboots. Her home on Stuart Street, Sydney, was a theatre where she relived her stories and told her jokes for an eager audience. She is cherished by all whose hearts she touched, her family, Marjorie White, Eileen (Duffy) Steele, Hilda (Duffy) Whiteman, Nadine and Bob Pridham, Lynn Muise, John and Lisa Duffy, Janice and Robert McGovern; her grandchildren who had the coolest grandmother, her great-grandchildren and her very dear friends. For 82 years, that wonderful woman enriched our lives with her sense of humour, her joy of life, her compassion and her unconditional love. It is time for Bette Davis to take a back seat, the very glamorous, ever funny Dorothy Duffy has arrived. | |||

| Dunford | Joseph R. Dunford | Joseph R. Dunford 52, Waverley It is with a deep sense of sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Joseph R. Dunford, 52, on August 22nd, 1999. His early education was in Sydney, C.B., and Brampton, Ont., and he later graduated from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. He earned his engineering degree from the University of Waterloo in 1972. Prior to forming his own company in 1980 he worked for Bell Canada and Telesat Canada. As the president and foulder of EnviroSeal Engineering Products Ltd., his guiding hand and spirit will be sorely missed. His groundbreaking products revolutionized the Pumping Process Industry globally, and are Joe’s legacy to the world. Always exuberant about new technology, Joe’s engineering creativity and keen insight allowed him to explore problems in new ways, as he masterminded solutions that were as elegant in their simplicity as they were successful in their application. Joe’s relentless pursuit of excellence resulted in several unique inventions and subsequent patents. His dedication to revolutionizing this industry resulted in his earning several local, national and international awards. The culmination of Joe’s efforts was recognized world wide in 1995, when he was presented with the very prestigious Vaaler Award. Joe was the first Vaaler Award winner from outside the United States since the award was first presented in 1964. In addition, he received several nominations and became a finalist in 1996 for the Atlantic Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Joe was a member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Nova Scotia, the Inventors Society of Nova Scotia, Alderney Squadron Atlantic District, and The Canadian Federation of Independent Business. He coached minor hockey for several years and later became extensively involved with the sport of canoe and kayak. His passion for his children and the sport spawned the creation of a revolutionary new starting system – the “CanStart”– which he designed together with Greg Maloney. Their system premiered during the Canoe 97 World Championships in Dartmouth. Joe’s inspiration and foresight over his years of association with the Cheema Aquatic Club has been recognized as a major contribution to the club’s ongoing success. He is survived by his wife, Aniko (nee Horvath); his children, Ryan and Mandy; sister, Beverley Genge, Langley, B.C.; and brother, Bill, Sydney, N.S. He was predeceased by his mother, Annie Rose (nee Cann), his sister, Marie, and father, William. Joe was a devoted husband to Aniko, a loving father to Ryan and Mandy, a warm and caring friend to many, a lifelong athlete and sailor, and a brilliant engineer and inventor. He touched countless lives around the world during his all-too-brief stay among us, and he will be remembered with fondness, love and respect by all those he left behind. A “Celebration of Joe’s Life” will take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, September 1, 1999, at the Inn on the Lake, Lake Thomas, Waverley, N.S.

| Dunn | David W Dunn | Sydney Post Record p 9 | 04/01/1937 | R. Fraser | DIES AT THE KEY HE HELD 30 YEARS D W Dunn, Brother Of Sydney Railwayman, Passes At Spokane, Wash. - Friends of Andrew Dunn, well known Sydney railwayman, will regret to learn of the death of his brother, David W Dunn, which occurred in Spokane, Wash., recently. The following is account of his death taken from a Spokane paper. David W Dunn, 56, S2738 Manito boulevard, veteran dispatcher for the Great Northern railroad, died suddenly yesterday at the downtown offices of the company. He was stricken with his hand at the key he had used for 30 years. Friends said that was the manner in which he hoped to meet death when his time came. Mr Dunn went to work at 8 o'clock. Less than an hour later he fell from his chair. Companions laid him on a table and notified the emergency hospital and physicians. But there was no trace of life when aid arrived within a few minutes. Came to Spokane in 1907. Born in Scotland, Mr Dunn came to this country 54 years ago, settling with his family in Nova Scotia. As a young man he followed railroad work there, and in 1907 came to Spokane. He obtained a position with the Great Northern as a dispatcher. Three years later he was transferred to Marcus, where he became chief dispatcher of that division. Returning to Spokane in 1921, he soon was made night "chief" and remained on that job until recently when he was given a day shift. In addition to his widow, Augusta J, at the home, Mr Dunn leaves two sons, Dr Donald W Dunn of Spokane and George W Dunn at Kellogg, Idaho, and a daughter, Margaret Jayne, at the home. A brother and three sisters reside in Canada. The body is at the Smith funeral home. | |||
