Most who knew him knew that he enjoyed life and loved to visit and catch up. He would never have wanted us to feel sad for him, as he believed that he lived a full life and was fortunate to have found love twice. He is survived by his partner of 15 years, Marie Gale; his son, Wayne, Truro; daughters, Maureen, Sydney, and Deborah (Graham), West Bay; granddaughter, Jenna, Toronto; sisters, Joan Campbell and Eileen Morrison, Sydney Mines, Bernadette Marsh, Mill Creek, Linda (Alfie) Scott, Sydney Mines; sister-in-law, Mae, Sydney Mines; brothers, Russell (Audrey), Antigonish, Lloyd (Millie), Sydney Mines, Donnie, (Beryl), Mill Creek, Melvin (Rosena), Blacketts Lake, and Kevin, Millville. He will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews, as well as by his extended family, Cathy (Allan) Campbell and their daughter, Alexandra of George's River, Rosina (Shawn) Thompson and their two children, Kaitlyn and Connor, Oakville, Ont., and Paul (Shannon) Gale and their son, Lawrence, Red Deer, Alta. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Marcella, his brother, Edward, and his brothers-in-law, Lawrence Marsh, Hector Campbell and Jimmy Morrison. Cremation has taken place, at Sonny's request. There will be a memorial service Wednesday at 11 a.m. at St. Andrew's Church, St. Andrews, with Rev. Charles Cameron presiding.

| Francis | Joseph Francis | Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S. | 03/06/1924 | Carolyn Wallace | Joseph Francis, Ex-Chief Dead Yesterday morning, Joseph Francis, ex-Chief of Police, New Glasgow, died at Aberdeen Hospital. He had been ill for nearly two years. Against odds he fought to regain his strength but friends could see that the battle was going against him. He spent some time in the West Indies during last year and recently had been under treatment at the Kentville Sanatorium from which place he returned to Aberdeen Hospital and there he passed away. He was forty-six years of age and was born in Glace Bay. He was a member of the Police force of that town for a time and served as its Chief of Police during the big U.M.W. strike. When Military Marshall of that District he received the appointment of Chief of Police to New Glasgow in 1916 and moved here. As the head of the New Glasgow police force he gave excellent service and provided a faithful, efficient officer. Improvement that he inaugurated did much for the better regulation of police matters in New Glasgow and the methods he introduced are still followed. Following service with the town of New Glasgow he was given charge of the police work of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company in Pictou County and as in all his service he applied faithfulness and honesty. He is survived by his wife, (formerly Miss Mary Anne O'Handley, of Dominion, C.B.), four sons and two daughters. The former are Thomas Aquinas, William David, James Charles and Adrian Butts. The daughters are Ida May and Jane Ellen. All the children are in their teens. In the home the grief at the loss of a husband and father is deep. Joseph Francis was a home-loving man and to him his family circle meant much. He was proud of his children as he had a right to be, for more honorable and courteous children one could not meet. They gave evidence of a splendid home life and it is sad to have such a severe break as the passing of a father. The writer has a keen personal loss in the death of Joseph Francis. For four years they were associates in Town life, one as Chief of Police and one as a Town Councillor and of the then Chief, the writer can say that he never knew him to do or suggest other than the straight and honorable course. He was a fearless officer and to the best of his ability and knowledge gave the Town faithful service. He was never rough or boisterous in the discharge of his duty and always endeavoured to treat citizens with every degree of fairness. No man is perfect and no one claimed such for Joe Francis. Those who thought they had visions of that perfection in some one else had reason to feel their judgement was not infallible. The late Joseph Francis was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Funeral mass was held this morning in the Church of St.John the Baptist and the remains taken to Glace Bay for interment. | |||

For four years they were associates in Town life, one as Chief of Police and one as a Town Councillor and of the then Chief, the writer can say that he never knew him to do or suggest other than the straight and honorable course. He was a fearless officer and to the best of his ability and knowledge gave the Town faithful service. He was never rough or boisterous in the discharge of his duty and always endeavoured to treat citizens with every degree of fairness. No man is perfect and no one claimed such for Joe Francis. Those who thought they had visions of that perfection in some one else had reason to feel their judgement was not infallible. The late Joseph Francis was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Funeral mass was held this morning in the Church of St.John the Baptist and the remains taken to Glace Bay for interment. |

| Fraser | Alistair Fraser | 24/01/1964 | R. Fraser | Antigonish, N.S. (CP) - Hon. Alistair Fraser, a former Lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, died in hospital here Friday following a short illness. He was 77. Mr. Fraser, who lived in Guysborough, N.S., entered St. Martha’s Hospital here Jan. 13 and underwent surgery earlier this week for a cardiac disorder. Mr. Fraser became the province’s 21st lieutenant governor in 1952 and retired in in 1958. A native of New Glasgow, he had a distinguished career as a soldier, a lawyer and was a vice president of Canadian National Railways. The son of Hon. Duncan Cameron Fraser, also a lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, he graduated from Dalhousie University law school in 1908. He was called to the bar in 1911 and was made a King’s Counsel in 1921. Won Military Cross Mr. Fraser practised law in eastern and western Canada until the outbreak of the First World War. He served overseas as captain company commander and adjutant winning two promotions in the field, and was awarded the Military Cross at Vimy Ridge. He was appointed an aide de camp to General Sir Arthur Currie, commander of the Canadian Corps and remained with the Canadian Forces until demobilization in 1919 when he joined the CNR as a general solicitor becoming commission counsel in 1923. In 1929 he was appointed assistant general counsel and in 1932 was made vice president of the traffic department, a post he held until his retirement in 1951. He was appointed lieutenant governor the following year. A son, Alistair, is executive assistant to State Secretary J. W. Pickersgill. Other survivors are his wife, the former Jane Graeme Ross of Moose Jaw, Sask., whom he married in 1929 and two other sons, Ian in Montreal and Duncan in Brockville, Ont. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Last October Mr. Fraser was awarded a total of $560,000 by the Supreme Court of Canada for rock used from his property to build the Canso Causeway - a mile long link between Cape Breton Island and mainland Nova Scotia. Originally the federal government had decided to pay Mr. Fraser $5,500 for 10,000,000 tons of granite taken from Porcupine Mountain, and used in the construction of the causeway. Porcuoine Mountain, a 600 foot cliff towering over the Strait of Canso, had been the Fraser family since 1885. Mr. Fraser took his case to the Exchequer Court of Canada seeking $1,000,000 from the federal government for the rock used in the causeway. The exchequer court awarded the former lieutenant governor a total of $62,500. The Supreme Court decision last October gave Mr. Fraser $560,000 and rejected a cross appeal by the Crown to have the exchequer award reduced to about $80,000. (Ed.--no date) [Comment from Donald A.

| Fraser | Hector Fraser | Presbyterian Witness | 08/12/1902 | R. Fraser | In our obituary column today we record the death of Mr. Hector Fraser, of Big Bras d’Or, Boularderie, who entered the rest of the endless Sabbath last Sunday evening. It was the closing of a long life, but no one thought of the late Mr. Fraser as old. They who knew him best could not realize that he was away past the four score years. Straight as a rush, light of step, bright of eye, cheerful in manner, always the picture of health, the signs of life’s winter-time only somewhat paling locks that so long retained the complexion of the raven, this veteran against the ravages of time never seemed to grow old. Mr. Hector Fraser was born at Abercrombie Point, Pictou County, in July 1818, the youngest of the seven children of Philip Fraser, who soon afterwards with his family, moved to Boularderie. As the years went by one after another six of the seven moved into homes of their own on the shores of the Big Bras d’Or; John, at Kempt Head; Margaret (Mrs. George McKenzie) at Rocky Side, now New Harris, Thomas and Roderick at Ross’s Ferry; Jessie (Mrs. Donald McLeod) and Hector at Big Bras d’Or. The story of Alexander, poor boy, who was next older than Jessie, is one of the saddest connected with the times of drift - ice, - the saddest of such on the Big Bras d’Or, carried as he was seawards by the dread current, even talked to by men on the shore at Cary’s beach. Out and out he was borne until appearing to those who beheld, as only a lonely dot on the white expanse, and at last lost to view amidst the dismal night shadows. Rory of Ross’s Ferry, was also the prey of the treacherous Big Bras d’Or, but, swallowed by its hungry waters, saved such agonizing experience as that which tortured his younger brother. Mrs. MacLeod, now past ninety, is the only one living of the old Philip Fraser family. In the year 1849 Hector Fraser claimed the Scottish lassie, Mary McGregor, as his bride, and through fifty-seven years she continued to be the delight of his eyes, his faithful wife. Four children came to the home to claim the Fraser name. Christina, Alexander, Philip, and John. Alexander occupies the old homestead. Philip is in Alaska, and the Rev. John Fraser is the much esteemed clergyman of Loch Lomond. The late Mr. Fraser was one of the kind of men that community or church cannot but miss and mourn. He was always more than ready to help those in trouble or need. He was in the estimation of all who knew him, a proper inheritor of the well done of the Great Helper. Not of many words he was mighty in deeds. The Boularderie congregation has no more faithful member, and not one who has been so regularly at its services during the last three quarters of a century. Only the last Sunday but one before the day of his death he was in his accustomed place in the sanctuary and apparently in usual good health. His funeral last Tuesday was very largely attended. Boularderie from end to end was represented. The funeral service was held in St. James Church, Big Bras d’Or, conducted by Rev. John MacIntosh, assisted by Rev. Dr. Jack, of North Sydney.

| Fraser | John Fraser | Sydney Daily Post | 26/07/1904 | R. Fraser | DROWNED WHILE BATHING A man named John Fraser, a native of Scotland, accompanied by three friends went out on Big Pond, Sydney Mines, yesterday afternoon, and after rowing about for some time, Fraser taking one oar with him, stripped and went in for a bath. He swam a piece from the boat and shortly after his companions noticed that he was in distress but could not move very fast with only one oar. Before they could reach the spot where he had sunk, he had disappeared for the last time. All efforts to recover the body last evening were futile, and today boats and men were early at work dragging the pond, but without success. It may be some time before the body is recovered as the bottom of the pond is covered with deep soft mud. | |||
| Fraser | John Fraser | Sydney Daily Post | 25/09/1952 | R. Fraser | BODY OF JOHN FRASER RECOVERED Bras d’Or, Sept. 25 - The waters of Bras d’Or Gut today yielded up the body of John Carl Fraser, thus bringing an end to the week long search for the youthful victim of a drowning accident here on last Thursday. The five year old boy lost his life on that day when he slipped underneath a wooden railing at one end of the Bras d’Or bridge, went down a 10 foot embankment and into the strong, swirling tide of the waters flowing beneath the bridge. Since that time, dragging operations had been carried out, with a record number of volunteers taking part, but no trace of the body of the victim was found until it was seen floating on the surface at a point near the Toronto Mine, of the Bras d’Or coal company, about one half mile from the spot where the accident took place. The body was spotted by two employees at that mine, Wallie Day and Jack King, who brought it to shore and immediately notified the Northside detachment of the R. C. M. P. at North Sydney, and Constable M. D. MacKay, who had played a prominent part in the operations carried out during the week, went to the scene and after he had notified Coroner Kenneth Fraser, Sydney Mines, the body was removed to the George R. Francis Funeral Parlor, Sydney Mines. Coroner Fraser announced during the day that no inquest would be necessary in connection with the fatality. Dragging operations had been carried on since the day the youth was drowned, with the large number of persons to take part in such work in theis district being present when the entire area was scouted in a full effort to locate the body. Operations wee directed by officers of the Northside Detachment of R.C.M. Police, with a boat, the “Brule”, Capt. C. Ryan, from the Marine Division of the force being on the scene for some time. the work was furthered by the presence of a diver, Austin Bennett, of the staff of the North Sydney Marine Railway, who was on duty throughout the day, and again on Monday. The work of police officer and all volunteers who played any part in the operations carried out in the search for the body was greatly appreciated by the parents of the young victim, Mr. and Mrs. Mor Fraser, well known local residents. In addition to his parents, the victim is survived by three brothers, Ronald, Gregory and Eric. The funeral is scheduled to take place Friday, with interment St. Joseph’s parish cemetery.

The accident victim, who was very badly burned in the accident which was to claim his life, never regained consciousness from the time of the accident and although about ten days ago a slight improvement was reported in his condition - although it was still serious - he lost his fight for life and passed away despite all that could be done for him. Coroner Kenneth Fraser, Sydney Mines, announced that no inquest would be held into the boy’s death. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander D. Fraser, who are well known throughout this district and elsewhere. His father operates a farm here. The youthful victim suffered his burns when he, reportedly dipped a lighted “cat tail” in a can of gasoline, in a building on the property of his father’s farm. Given first aid, he was rushed to hospital at Sydney Mines and treated there since that time by Dr. Kenneth Fraser, of that town. He was born in Hamilton Memorial Hospital, North Sydney and was a student last year at the local school. In addition to his parents, the victim is survived by one sister Isabelle, and three brothers, David, Roy and Harold, all at home. The remains are now resting at the home from where the funeral will take place Sunday afternoon, September 4. Services at the home at 1:30 p.m. and at Knox Presbyterian Church, here at 2:00 p.m. Interment will be made in Man - O - War Point Cemetery under the direction of the Charles E.
