| Godwin | Catherine Anne Godwin | Cape Breton Post | 01/02/2010 | Catherine Anne Godwin, Dominion Born in 02/10/1940 at Halifax , Nova Scotia , Canada With deep regret, we announce that Catherine Godwin has lost her long and hard-fought battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully in the presence of family and friends on Jan. 29, 2010, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. Catherine was born in Halifax, N.S., Oct. 2, 1940, the daughter of the late Anne (MacKinnon) Godwin and the late John Edward Godwin. Her early years were spent in Bedford, N.S., but after the death of her father in 1947, she and her mother relocated to Dominion. In 1957 Catherine graduated from MacDonald High School and went on to obtain her BSc in home economics from Mount St. Vincent College, completing her dietetic internship at the Halifax Infirmary in 1962. Patients at the New Waterford Consolidated Hospital, Maple Hill Manor, Seaview Manor, and MacGillivray Guest Home received her expertise in dietary matters as well as her genuine care and concern for their general health and welfare. Catherine was a founding member of both the Cape Breton Branch and the Nova Scotia Division of the Canadian Diabetes Association. In 1981 she received the Nova Scotia Dietetics Association’s Merit Award in recognition of her contribution to the profession of dietetics. Catherine was a person of many talents. Her skill at research and organization and her love of writing led her to compile and publish many books including a centennial history of the parish of Immaculate Conception; a 25-year history of the Cape Breton Chorale; a beautiful biography of her mother; and the genealogies of three branches of her family tree: the MacKinnons, the Browners and the Godwins. As a faithful member of the Cape Breton Chorale, Catherine fostered her love of music and shared with all her fine alto voice while also serving as archivist for the Chorale’s 36 years of existence. As a creative and expert needleworker, Catherine produced garments, quilts, and Celtic knots of the finest quality. Many of these were given as gifts, but others served as fundraisers for her many charities. Catherine gave freely to those who were hungry, homeless, lonely and disadvantaged and was a strong supporter of the quest for world peace. One of Catherine’s favourite things to do was to pack a picnic lunch and, rain or shine, explore the back roads and obscure but beautiful spots of our island. Catherine is survived by stepsister, Margaret Godwin and stepbrother, Edwin Godwin, both of Halifax; many close cousins; and a wide circle of dear friends. Visitation will take place Monday, Feb. 1, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in Curry’s Funeral Home, 775 Main St., Glace Bay. The funeral will be held at Immaculate Conception Church, Bridgeport, on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 11 a.m., with Fr. Dan Boudreau and Fr. Angus J. MacLeod officiating. Reception to follow in the parish hall. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be given to Palliative Care or the Cancer Treatment Center. Catherine will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. |

| Gouthro | John W. Gouthro | Sydney Post Record | 13/08/1942 | Bruce Gouthro | Headline in the Glace Bay section of the Sydney Post Record August 13, 1942. DOMINION MINER MEETS DEATH IN 1-B COLLIERY JOHN W. GOUTHRO, 65, RUN OVER BY FULL TRIP Victim believed to have fallen across tracks in effort to get out of way of full trip. Glace Bay, Aug. 12 John W. Gouthro, 65 year old Dominion resident and employee of No. 1-B Colliery, was instantly killed about 11 o'clock this morning when he was run over by several loaded boxes of a full trip near the mine bottom. Death of Gouthro today marked the second fatal accident to occur in No. 1-B Colliery this year. On March 2, J. Charles Finlayson, 27, was killed. Gouthro was employed as a shiftman in the colliery and this morning was engaged in cleaning off the road near the " bottom " over which the full trips are brought out to the coal cage for hoisting to the surface. The trips are brought out by an electric motor, which breaks away from the trip before reaching the scene of the mishap. The boxes are then pushed into the vicinity of the coal cage by a grab. Gouthro is believed to have heard the trip coming towards him and in endeavoring to get out of the way tripped and fell across the tracks. Before he could remove himself the first box passed over him and it was not until two or three others had gone over his body that his plight was noticed. When fellow workers arrived on the scene they discovered that the victim had been critically injured and was near death. He died before medical assistance reached him. Gouthro was a native of Frenchvale but had resided in Dominion practically all his life. He was widely known in the colliery communities and was generally regarded as a careful and cautious worker. During his residence in Dominion he was prominent in town affairs and enjoyed the respect and esteem of the entire community. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, three sons, Matthias Gouthro, of the town police department; Vincent and John at home and five daughters, Mrs. Edward Walker, Theresa, Olive, Cecelia, and Lorna.

| Gouthro | Victor Gouthro | Sydney Post-Record | 06/03/1939 | Bruce Gouthro | Former Chief of Police in Dominion Dies Victor Gouthro, 64, Passes, After Brief Illness;Chief for 25 Years Dominion, March 5-Universal sorrow was expressed on all sides as the news spread that Victor Gouthro, for over a quarter of a century chief of plice of this town, had died last night at his home, following an illness of only a few days. 30 Years Residence Six feet two inches tall and weighing over three hundred pounds, he was known by all as "Big Victor" during his almost 30 years residence in this town, and of him it can be truly said he did not leave an enemy behind him. A wonderfully powerful man he was withal kindly and friendly to all, and to none more so than the little children of the community. Born at Frenchvale 64 years ago, he worked for some years as a miner at Reserve Mines, later coming here and taking employment in No. 1-A where he worked for some time. When the town was incorporated, and Norman McDonald was Chief of Police, Victor Gouthro was named deputy and sometime afterwards when McDonald resigned, was named Chief, a position he filled with general satisfaction until he resigned a year ago. During the 25 years he was Chief of Police, the late Mr. Gouthro was also on several occasions, liquor inspector for the town. After resigning as chief of police, he was appointed tax collector for the town and held this position up to the time of his death. The late Mr. Gouthro, although not enjoying the best of health the past several months, was able to be out around, only being confined to his bed the past week. A heart ailment was believed to have caused his death. One-Man Force: He began his police duty in a period when the law of might prevailed to a large extent, and when law and order was not observed in the mining communities as today, and many are the stories told of the strength and prowess of the big Frenchman, where he was a one-man police force and some "hard" men visited the town and failed to observe the town laws. "Big Victor" was known to all citizens and his death is mourned by every person of the community. He is survived by his wife, a son Simon and three step-children, Roddie McNeil, Mrs. Sadie Mally, and Mrs. Albert Daye, all residing in Dominion. Two sisters and three brothers also survive. Funeral arrangements have not been completed but it is likely the funeral will be held Tuesday to Immaculate Conception Church, with interment following in the Ocean Avenue Catholic Cemetery. | |||

In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer so again, So keep your arms around her Lord, And give her special care, Make up for all she suffered, And all that seemed unfair.

| Grant | Thomas D. Grant | Sydney Post Record p 8 | 19/01/1945 | R. Fraser | THOMAS D. GRANT North Sydney, Jan. 18 - Early Friday morning, Jan. 12 a widely known and highly respected citizen, Thomas D. Grant, 78, passed away at his residence on Parnell street. Although ailing for some time, and with little hope entertained for his recovery, his sudden passing was a great shock to his family and large circle of friends. With the exception of a few years in the United States, the late Mr. Grant lived his life in the town of North Sydney, where he was well and favorably known. He was a jeweller and an optician, first in business for himself, and later with the late A. M. Ross, jeweller, with whom he served for upwards of forty years, and on the death of Mr. Ross purchased the business and conducted it as Grant’s Jewellery, still a going concern under the management of his son Duncan. Fraternally, the late Mr. Grant was an Orangeman and a Mason. He was for a number of years a devout and active elder in St. Matthew’s Presbyterian Church, till 1925, when with equal zeal he continued in the same office with St. Giles Presbyterian Church, until he was called to his eternal reward. The late Mr. Grant was a close student of the Bible, and noted for his unflinching fidelity to its great doctrines. While a valued member in church courts, it was in the Sunday - school class and in personal work that he excelled. He made extensive and effective use of the blackboard in presenting apt illustrations, and never failed to sent home convincingly, that “to get Eternal Life ye must be born again.” The soothsayer variety of teachers might think Mr. Grant was putting things bluntly. However, while these would be gracefully angling, Mr. Grant would be shooting arrows of conviction that brought results. Mr. Grant was for a number of years Superintendent of the Chalmers Jack Mission Sunday School and took part in the gospel service there, as well as in th ministry of visitations. The largely attended funeral service in church Sunday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. H. L. Jost, and the members of the Masonic Order, testified in no uncertain terms to the warm esteem in which the departed was held by his congregation and his native town. | |||
