Built Railway In addition to playing a big part in the establishment of the steel plant in the boom days, Mr Farquharson was contractor in charge of the major portion of the construction of the Sydney and Louisburg railway line. Born at Middle River, C.B., he attended school in this city, later taught at Point Edward, and afterwards journeyed to the United States and travelled extensively across that country before returning to Sydney in 1880. Assuming charge of the salmon hatchery at the spot now known as Wentworth Creek, he remained there for a number of years and afterwards launched upon a contracting career which brought him in close association with the railway and steel plant projects, as well as having been identified with many building jobs here. Veteran Mason He was believed to be the oldest Masonic Past Master in the Province, having been elected Master of St Andrew’s Lodge, this city, in 1887. In military circles of long ago, he was a well known figure, and was one of the original officers of the 17th Field Battery, joining the unit in 1880 and held the rank of Lieutenant. Retiring from the contracting business long past the turn of the present century, he entered the employ of the steel company and was with the mechanical department for many years. His death on Saturday afternoon followed a protracted period of ill health, having suffered a stroke five years ago and he was confined to his bed practically ever since. Death Mourned A gentleman of the old school, a fine type of citizen, kindly, and gracious, he was widely known throughout Cape Breton, and his passing will be learned with profound regret and will be universally mourned. In addition to his widow, he is survived by four daughter, Irene, bookkeeper at Oak Hall; Annie, Principal of Central School; Mrs D J Williams (Catherine); Mrs John Livingstone (Jessie), both in Sydney; three sons, Alexander of Bethlehem, California; Charles, in New York, and John in Sydney. Also one sister, Mrs Mary MacDonald, residing in California. Funeral Tuesday The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon from the family residence 34 Highland street. Service at Sydney Presbyterian church and interment in Hardwood Hill cemetery.

| Farrell | Eileen Mary Farrell | Cape Breton Post | 21/09/2009 | Eileen Mary Farrell, Whitney Pier Born in 28/10/1928 at Bay du Nord , Newfoundland , Canada Surrounded by her loving family, Mom passed away peacefully Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, at the Palliative Care Unit, Cape Breton Regional Hospital. She was born in Bay du Nord, N.L., to ‘Teacher’ Tom and Frances (Lundrigan) on Oct. 28, 1928. She moved to Sydney in 1952 where she and her husband Lawrence ‘Red’ raised their seven children. Surviving are her children, Marguerite (late John) Pittman, Bernie (Margo), David (Margie), Lillian (Bruce) Andrews, Larry (Kim) and Maurice ‘Moe’. Also by daughter-in-law, Janice. ‘Nan’ was cherished by her 12 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was anxiously awaiting the birth of her new great-grandson in North Carolina and her great-granddaughter in Ontario. She is survived by her sisters, Genevieve, Patricia (Pat) Hickey, Alice (late Fred) Hickey, brothers, Kevin (Late Lill) and Alphonsus (Viola), sisters-in-law, Teresa Farrell and Pearl Farrell. Mom was predeceased by her husband, Lawrence, son, Adrian ‘Sam’ in 2008, brothers, Pat, Dave and Gerald. Our community has truly lost an icon. Eileen will be remembered for her endless kindness to anyone she met, as her front door had an ‘open door’ policy. It was known that Sunday dinners could feed from two to 10 persons easily. Friday mornings meant making ‘home-made’ bread and date squares, and you could count on going home with a care package of goodies after your visit. Her religious affirmations started many years ago with ‘starching ‘ altar clothing, and her proudest moments were listening to Moe reading at Saturday evening mass. Mom’s regular personal treats consisted of Pepsi pop, Double Bubble gum, playing Wednesday night bingo on TV and chocolate treats. Lady, the family dog, was her daily companion. Visitation for mom will take place at T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel on Tuesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral mass will be celebrated Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Holy Redeemer Church with Rev. Errol MacDonald officiating. Interment in Resurrection Cemetery, Sydney Forks. Donations in Eileen’s memory may be made to the Holy Redeemer Building Fund or Cape Breton Palliative Care Unit.

| Farrell | Robert 'Drake' Farrell | Cape Breton Post | 26/12/2009 | Robert 'Drake' Farrell, Port Caledonia The world lost a shining light on December 21, 2009, as a result of a catastrophic car collision. Our precious baby boy was taken far too soon. We know he is at peace with his loved ones waiting for him in Heaven. Drake will be forever missed by his parents, Lisa Margaret Durnford, Robert Scott (wife Paula) Farrell; sister, Darian Elizabeth Farrell, all of Ontario; maternal grandparents, Elizabeth (Nee Betty Acker) and Jabez Durnford, Port Caledonia; paternal grandmother, Barbara (Gould) Farrell, Auntie Carolyn (YoYo) Durnford, Uncle Darin and cousins, Ravin and Kendull; Uncle Jim and Aunt Marion Farrell; cousins, Brendon and Gregory, all of Ontario; as well as numerous great-aunts, great-uncles and cousins. Drake was a friend to all who knew him. He will be missed by so many people, including girlfriend, Larissa Lauzon and best friends, Taylor Eisses and Dillon Letemplier. Drake was predeceased by paternal grandfather George James Farrell. Drake was born and raised for most of his young years in Ontario (Scarborough, Whitby, and Angus). He was a pleasant, intent boy who followed his dad around with a toy hammer trying to mimic the excellent craftsmanship. He was his mother’s ‘little man’ and to his Nana and Pop he was the moon and the stars. Drake and his sister Darian were very close and would taunt each other whenever they had the opportunity. Drake and his grandparents moved to Cape Breton during his teenage years. Whenever he had the chance he would say how much he loved living there. His love of Lego and video games followed him into his young adulthood. Drake was also a talented sketch artist thanks to time spent with his “Uncle Bear”. He enjoyed the outdoors and spending time with his great uncle in rural Cape Breton. He was a student at Memorial High School and worked at Stream during the summer of 2009. He loved hanging out with his friends. To all who have been blessed with knowing Drake he was a funny, happy prankster who loved to joke and make others laugh. His confident, pleasant demeanor immediately put others around him at ease. On his Facebook page Drake had written a line that defined him best, “I know I am saying too much but I am the happiest guy in the world”. Family Flowers only please. A donation to any of Drake’s favorite causes, some of which included, Glace Bay Food Bank or Harvest House, Glace Bay, may be made in his memory. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2009 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. The funeral service, officiated by Rev.

| Ferguson | Julian A Ferguson | Sydney Post Record p 2 | 09/11/1935 | R. Fraser | Glace Bay, Nov 8 - not for some time has a death here caused such universal sorrow as was to be heard on all sides this afternoon when word quickly circulated that Julian A Ferguson, District Master Mechanic for the Dominion Coal Company, had died suddenly at his home at New Aberdeen. Taken ill with a slight chest congestion last Sunday, Mr Ferguson received medical attention and remained at home until this morning, when he arose and went to the central power plant at No. 3 colliery, going there about nine o'clock and remaining until about two in the afternoon, when he returned home, stating he was not feeling quite fit and stated he was going to lie down for a little while. After lying down only a few minutes, he was seized with a heart attack, passing away within a few minutes and before medical assistance could reach him. Mr Ferguson was one of the best known officials of the Dominion Coal Company and of him it could be truly said that not in the employ of the company could be found a more diligent, conscientious and trustworthy official. And this was shown by the high respect he was held in by the company and the fine spirit of faithful cooperation that was ever noted to exist between Mr Ferguson and the men over whom he had supervision. A very active man, he was of the type that believed that anything no matter how important, that was worth doing was worth doing well. He was an exceptionally talented mechanic and much of the mechanical equipment of the coal company was improved on by his keen knowledge of mechanics and steam engineering. Mr Ferguson was born at Mira, 72 years ago, a son of Mr and Mrs Angus R Ferguson, the latter being Margaret Jane McAskill before her marriage. While still an infant his parents moved to Cow Bay in the Port Morien district. Attending school at Cow Bay, Mr Ferguson when still in his early teens, learned his apprenticeship in the machine ship of the Archibald Company, which were then carrying on the mining operations in the Port Morien districts. Studious and ambitious, Mr Ferguson soon was one of the most skilled mechanics and steam engineers in the employ of the Archibald firm and when the Whitney Interests reorganized the coal industry here and formed the Dominion Coal Company, Mr Ferguson was induced by the new company to leave Port Morien and take over the important position of Chief Colliery Engineer at Caledonia colliery, then the most important producing colliery in the Cape Breton coal fields. Thirty years ago, with the opening of Nos. 2 and 9 collieries, Mr Ferguson was further promoted by being appointed chief colliery engineer in charge of Nos. 2, 9 and 7, the last named being the Hub colliery, now closed down. Twelve years ago, his worth to the company he served so well was further recognized, when he was promoted to the very important post of district master in charge for the collieries of the Dominion Coal Company, and this position he filled truly and well up to within an hour of his death. He married on September 27th 188[2 or 3?] Miss Bessie Carmichael, a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Charles Carmichael, May street, and she predeceased him, passing away November 27th, 1928. He leaves to mourn a kindly, lovable and devoted father, seven children, to whom the sympathy of the community goes in their sad bereavement. The surviving children are: Mrs P e Morrison and Charles in Arlington Heights, Mass.; Mrs D Owen, in Detroit; Mrs Charles Arthur, in Prince Edward Island; Mrs Malcolm McLeod, Glace Bay; Angus R E, an official of the Electric Light department of the town of Glace Bay and Archibald M, at home, at New Aberdeen. Two sisters, Mrs L McVicar, Sydney and Mrs Marlon McRury, North Sydney, also survive. In religion, Mr Ferguson was always a devout Presbyterian and was for a long period of years an Elder of St Paul's Presbyterian church and he took the same careful and attentive interest in the affairs of his church that was characteristic of his life work. he was also a valued member of McDougall L.O.L. at New Aberdeen and in politics always was a staunch follower and in his younger years, a willing worker for the Liberal party. Mr Ferguson was, in the days when horse racing flourished here, an active and keen supporter of the sport of kings. He knew a good horse and admired one and invariably drove one. Although an engineer, whose ability was known far beyond the confines of the county in which he was born, Mr Ferguson never chose to forsake his horse for a car and he could be seen traveling from colliery to colliery, driving behind a fast stepping roadster, his last one being the former race horse Tiny Aubrey. A kindly man, with always a good thought for his neighbor uppermost in his mind, Mr Ferguson was known better than any other man associated with the mining and his sudden and unexpected passing will be learned with profound sorrow all over the Cape Breton coal fields where he was as well known and so highly respected and esteemed. Although often urged to seek political honors in the civic and other fields, Mr Ferguson, however, refused to forsake his life work. | |||

| Ferguson | Mamie Ferguson | Sydney Post Record | 29/05/1940 | Donald Snow | Source This community was greatly shocked at the sudden and unexpected passing of Mrs. William M. Ferguson, 246 Whitney Avenue whose death occurred at eleven o'clock Tuesday morning in Sydney City Hospital. Mrs. Ferguson entered the hospital about a week ago for medical examination and treatment. On Saturday last she underwent an operation from which she rallied on Sunday but early Monday morning complications set in and she passed away within a few hours. Born at Dutch Brook, she was the former Mamie MacDonald. She was in her fifieth year and had been a resident of Sydney since the turn of the century. Before her marriage, Mrs. Ferguson was employed for a time with the Glace Bay Gazette and later in the office of the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation. Throughout her life she had been an earnest welfare worker in this community particularly in church and temperance circles. She had two great life objectives, one that the youth might be protected from the dangers of the liquor traffic, the other that the gospel should be carried through the Missionary Societies to the utmost parts of the earth To her there were no idle dreams for even while strength was failing her, she accepted offices which carried with them heavy duties performed with care and thoroughness so characteristic of her life. All who have been associated with her in these special lines of work now realize that a great leader has been taken from them. She was greatly interested in Mission Band work where she instilled into the children that missionary zeal that possessed her to such a remarkable degree. Left to mourn their loss are her husband and four children, Sally, school teacher, Ethel, employed at Bonnell's Ltd; Leonard and Sewell at school (all are at home) two daughters, Mrs. Coll MacDonald and Mrs. Fred MacLeod; both residents in Sydney; and a brother Alex F. in New York. Many will join in extending sympathy to the bereaved members of the family. Funeral services will be held at the family residence at 2 o'clock, and at St. Andrews United Church 2.30 P.M.

| Finlayson | Pte. Walter Finlayson | The Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S. | 22/09/1942 | Carolyn Wallace | VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH Coroner's Jury Enquiring Into The Death of Pte. Walter Finlayson of Florence, C.B. In the Town Council Chamber yesterday a jury under Coroner Dr.W.H. Robbins, heard evidence and filed a verdict of accidental death exonerating the driver of a truck J. Brophy of Antigonish, of all blame. Crown Prosecutor E.M. Macdonald conducted the inquiry and the foreman of the jury was Mr. Harry Murray. Evidence was given by several witnesses. Dr. Mandel of the Military Hospital at Parkdale examined the body at Aberdeen Hospital and described the injuries that caused death. Edward and Alex Bigney of Westville Road described seeing the soldier fall from the truck and being taken away to the Hospital. Don F. Fraser told of driving from Pictou to New Glasgow and taking the injured man in his car to Aberdeen Hospital. He thought he was living when picked up but he was dead when he reached the Hospital. The nurse there felt for his pulse but could not find any. Mr. Fraser notified the R.C.M.P. of the accident and returned with them to the Hospital. He did not see the other soldiers or the truck driver after leaving the scene of the accident with the injured man in the back seat. A Naval rating from Pictou and Hugh Dunbar were with him when he picked up Finlayson. He said the road was very rough at that particular place. John Brophy of Antigonish told of driving the truck from Truro and first picking up a soldier who rode in the cab with him and then four soldiers who got in the body of the truck. He asked them to sit down. He drove about 35 miles an hour. At the scene of the accident he heard a cry and stopped to find that one of the soldiers had fallen off. He saw him taken away in a car that came to the scene. He brought the three soldiers to New Glasgow and let them out at the Hospital, and kept right on home to Antigonish. He did not know that the man had died until told by the R.C.M.P. on Saturday two days after the accident. The three companions of the late Walter Finlayson then gave evidence. They were Wm. Reardon of Florence, J.Walsh of Sydney Mines and J.Steele of Sydney Mines. They were absent from Halifax without leave and were hitch-hiking their way home to Cape Breton being members of the Cape Breton Highlanders. They described their position in the truck and how Finlayson fell out. When they heard at the Hospital that he was dead they kept right on as they did not have a pass to be away from Halifax. The three soldiers at the inquest were in charge of the military provost. The jury after deliberation found a verdict that Walter Finlayson came to his death because of an accident and exonerated Brophy, the driver of the truck of all blame. | |||

| Fitzroy | John Edmund Fitzroy Barrington | Sydney Post Record p 8 | 01/12/1941 | R. Fraser | Today the Cape Breton sport world mourns the death of one of its best known figures of the last 30 years, "Jack" Barrington of Sydney Mines. With his chief love in the sport world having been yachting, a sport in which he took an active part for over 40 years, Jack known to many throughout the Maritimes as "the Commodore" also was very prominent in numerous other branches of sport. Personally the writer knows of many kindnesses which Jack did in the interest of sport teams here. These in connection with the North Sydney track and field team of some eight years ago which was most prominent in Island circles. Jack, about four years ago, was President of the Northside Hockey Club, which sponsored the Monarchs team in the C.B.H.L. He was also a former President of the well known local Cape Breton Curling Club. However, it was in yachting circles that he was best known and as it was so aptly put by one sportsman, "no such meet was complete without the presence of 'Commodore' Jack Barrington. DEATH OF JACK BARRINGTON IS MOURNED North Sydney, Dec 1 - The political world and sport world of Cape Breton lost one of its best known figure on Saturday in the death of John Edmund Fitzroy Barrington, 58, who died at the family residence at Barrington Park, Sydney Mines. Known to thousands of friends throughout the Maritimes as "Jack Barrington", the deceased passed away at 11:30 o'clock Saturday morning following an illness of almost two years. After suffering a slight stroke while in Halifax in August 1940, he also suffered a number of other ailments since then and had been confined to his home for the past year and a half. Outstanding Figure. One of the outstanding figures in the Conservative party, and one of its best workers during the last 30 years, the late Mr Barrington was equally noted in the athletic world. In addition to his career along these lines, he was also prominent in the activities of the Cape Breton Farmers' Association and was a member of a committee from this organization which had pressed for and played an important part in the initial efforts to secure the National Highland Park for Victoria County. Born at Barrington Park, the Barrington family's homestead location since 1825, Jack was the son of the late Sir Yorke Lindsay Walker Barrington and Lady Matilda Barrington. He was the youngest member of that family. The deceased's grandfather, the late Charles Barrington, who was a native of Ireland, was an intimate friend of th famous Duke of Wellington and holding the rank of Captain in His Majesty's 60th Rifles was in command at Sydney when that city was a military station. During his active life, Mr Barrington had been associated with more organizations than probably any other man in the Northside district in the past 50 years. One of the province's best known yachting figures he had been actively connected with this form of sport for 43 years. Headed Organization. Following is a list of the organizations which he had headed as President: North Sydney Conservative Association; Cape Breton Conservative Association; Cape Breton Farmer's Association; Cape Breton County Exhibition Commission; Cape Breton Curling Club; North Sydney Board of Trade; Associated Boards of Trade in Cape Breton; President of the Northside Hockey Club which sponsored the Monarchs entry in the Island league several years ago. First Commodore of the Northern Yacht Club formed here in 1923 he, some years ago was made Honorary Commodore of the club for life. He had held numerous Government positions, with his political work being one of the leading parts of his lifetime's career. During the first World War he was a member of the Pilotage Commission for Sydney Harbor. For a lengthy period in later years he had been in charge of the coaling of boats at this port, with his work along these lines for the Federal government having been greatly praised for "the efficient manner in which he had carried out his duties." For many years he had also been a Forest Ranger, this being the last position he had held prior to his death. The deceased had attended numerous conventions of the various organizations with which he had been connected when these were held at Halifax and other centers. Formed Club. In earlier years Jack formed a trap shooting club, which was located at Barrington Park, and had also played lacrosse on a field for this sport at the same place. One of the first of a number of hockey teams which he managed during his connection in this capacity with sports, was the local St Joseph's team. After winning the Cape Breton championship in 1910, this team were beaten out in the Maritime finals by the Charlottetown Victorias in a playoff series which took place at New Glasgow. A man who had done countless deeds of good in innumerable ways during his lifetime and a person who always loaned a hand to less fortunate people, his spirit of kindness and hospitality will long be remembered. Mr Barrington in addition to the many other forms of work he had attended to, had operated a large farm on his family's property and also conducted a florist business on a small scale. The deceased was a member of the Provincial Executive of the Conservative Association for many years and was on this committee up until the time of his death. A member of Trinity Anglican Church, Sydney Mines, he was a Warden of this Church. The deceased, whose passing was learned of over the week end with deep and sincere regret by a widespread circle of friends and acquaintances, is survived by three sisters, one brother and a number of other relatives. The sisters are: Miss M Y "Bey" Barrington, well known resident of Sydney; Miss Matilda M B Barrington, residing at the homestead at Barrington Park, Sydney Mines; and Mrs W L Chirgwin, Sydney Mines. The brother is Yorke C Barrington, town engineer of Sydney Mines. Miss Mary Chirgwin and Yorke Chirgwin, Sydney Mines, are niece and nephew of the deceased. Mr Barrington;s wife predeceased him by 22 years. Two sisters, the late Sibella Anne Barrington and Harriet Henrietta Barrington, died 11 years ago. Funeral Tuesday. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon. A service will take place at the home starting at 2:30 o'clock, with interment to take place at Trinity cemetery, Rev G T Spriggs, rector of Trinity Church will officiate. Funeral arrangements will be carried out under the direction of the W J Dooley Funeral Services of North Sydney. The wealth of floral offerings and other tokens of sympathy received by the bereaved family over the week end testified in a small degree to the high esteem in which the late Mr Barrington had been held by his many friends in Cape Breton and elsewhere in Nova Scotia. The bereaved family will have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement. Saturday December 6 1941 | |||

You accomplished so many goals and dreams in your short life. You shared that mischievous grin and actions with unending love and a caring heart.

You had strength and took responsibility, you worked so hard to be who you needed to be. You were upfront, honest and true to yourself. You were and will always be respected and loved by all those whose lives you've touched. There remains so much we want to say to you, but most especially we want you to know that you will remain in our hearts always. We know as you glide through heaven's highway on your gleaming Harley, you will reunite with Mom and together you will be watching over us. With love forever Dad, Mike, Gerrie and Carmen.
