| Marsh | Emmett Marsh AND Emmett Jessome | Sydney Post Record p 3 | 24/11/1936 | R. Fraser | TWO MINERS MEET DEATH ON HIGHWAY Emmett Marsh, 45, And Emmett Jessome, 23, Killed When Auto Plunges Into Ditch at Ball's Creek-- Death rode along as a fourth passenger in an automobile which left the road and plunged into a deep ditch at Ball's Creek Bridge, seven miles from Sydney, last night to snuff out the lives of two occupants and narrowly claimed a third. Reposing in Curry's morgue are the bodies of: Emmett Marsh, 45, of Mill Creek, in the Little Bras d'Or district Emmett Jessome, 23, son of County Councillor William Jessome, of Mill Creek, and nephew of Marsh. In St Rita's Hospital is Elias Jessome, 20, cousin of Emmett Jessome, also from Mill Creek, who is suffering from shock, general shaking up, and an abrasion on the back of his head. The three were en route to their homes when the fatality occurred and had left Sydney, it was learned, about 10:30 o'clock last night but the discovery of the car and its cargo of death was not made until 12:55 o'clock this morning - almost two and a half hours afterwards. Makes Discovery The overturned machine attracted the attention of a passing motorist, it is said, and he made the gruesome discovery after going over to examine the wreck. It is believed scores of cars had apparently passed the scene before that and likely noticed the ditched machine, but kept on going, dismissing the sight as "just another accident." Phones For Aid Rushing to the home of Alexander Campbell, situated nearby, the (Continued on page eleven) motorist, identity unknown, phoned Sydney for medical aid, an ambulance, and notified Mounted Police headquarters as well. Taken From Auto In the meantime, a half dozen cars and trucks came along and with the arrival of two of Curry's ambulances, and Mounted Police Constables Tilley and Apdaile, the two dead men were removed from the tilted auto and conveyed to the George street morgue. The younger Jessome was rushed by truck to the hospital where he was attended to by Dr Arthur Sutherland, who had just finished applying medical aid to another victim injured in a crackup on the Glace Bay highway, at Grand Lake. Extremely Heavy Man Extrication of the two bodies was accomplished with difficulty, due to Marsh, who weighed about 300 pounds, being slumped over Emmett Jessome who was the driver of the ill fated auto. Jessome was badly bruised about the mouth which evidently scraped across the door after the car capsized after dropping into the gulley, upon leaving the road. He was tossed forward, and crushed against the door by the heavier Marsh who was lying almost fully across him. The occupants were jolted around after the car hit the concrete culvert and bounced into the ditch, to claim the lives of two of its passengers. The car - a Ford coach - crumpled and twisted remained in the ditch for the balance of the night and was towed to a local garage today. Fails To Remember Details of the fatality are not known - and likely never will be - as there were no eye-witnesses and the survivor of the terrific crash, Elias Jessome, it is said, remembers practically nothing about what happened. He was sitting in the back seat, and was taken from the car unconscious and did not come to until shortly before taken to the hospital where he is still suffering from the effects of the accident and unaware of the fate of his two companions. Well Known Miners Both Jessome and his uncle Emmett Marsh were employed in the Toronto Mine at Little Bras d;Or and were well known in the neighboring community where the news of their tragic passing came as a distinct shock and brought expressions of profound regret and sympathy for their relatives. Marsh, was single, and is survived by two brothers, Tom and Joe; four sisters, Mrs William Jessome, mother of Emmett Jessome, Mrs Donald MacNeil, Mrs Robert Carey, and Mrs George Swan. Emmett Jessome, is survived by his parents, and a number of brothers and sisters. Elias Jessome, lives with his brothers and sisters at Mill Creek - their parents having died a few years ago. An inquest into the fatality will be held today by Dr J K MacLeod, coroner. [Sydney Post Record Thursday 10 December 1936 p 1 & 11] MARSH FAMILY MEETS SERIES OF TRAGEDIES Fate has dealt harshly with the Marsh family of Mill Creek. Late last night, an automobile plunged over a deep ditch at Balls Creek Bridge, and killed Emmett Marsh. A little more than a week ago he buried a brother, who succumbed to injuries suffered in the Toronto mine 10 years ago. It will be 13 years next January 4th that another brother lost his life by drowning in Little Bras d'Or Gut. A year after his death, the mother took ill and died. In 1925 another brother fell victim to the treacherous waters of Bras d'Or Gut. The anniversary of his death had hardly passed when the Senior Marsh died. And to climax the tragic sequence, the companion in death last night of Emmett Marsh was his sister's son, Emmett Jessome. [Sydney Post Record Thursday 10 December 1936 p 11] TWO VICTIMS OF AUTO CRASH LAID TO REST Friends Pay Final Tribute To Late Emmett Marsh and Emmett Jessome Little Bras d'Or, Dec 14 - Despite a torrential rain hundreds turned out yesterday to pay their last respects to Emmett Marsh, 45, and Emmett Jessome 23, victims of Wednesday night's auto accident at Ball's Bridge, who were laid to rest in St Joseph's cemetery. The double funeral was one of the largest and most impressive seen in this district and was attended by residents form every walk in life who journeyed by car, wagon and on foot to attend the service. The service was conducted by Rev Fr McIntyre Sunday afternoon after which the remains were interred in St Joseph's cemetery. The cortege following behind the remains of the late Mr Marsh journeyed from Mill Creek to the home of Councillor William Jessome and was joined there by another large body of residents who wended their way to the cemetery. Masses for the dead were held this morning in St Joseph's church with Rev Fr McIntyre officiating. Many mass cards, floral tributes and messages of sympathy received by the bereaved families testified to the esteem in which both deceased were held in the community and whose lives were cut off Wednesday night when their car left the highway near Ball's Bridge. Among those attending the service was Elias Jessome, 20, also from Mill Creek who escaped with lacerations to his head and hands during the accident that claimed the lives of his two companions.

| Marsh | Henry Marsh and Wilson Beaton | Sydney Post Record p 1 & 2 | 24/05/1943 | R. Fraser | TWO MINERS VICTIMS OF TRAGEDY IN NO. 25 MINE TWO MINERS KILLED IN SUDDEN FATALITY Glace Bay, May 23 - Water, crashing through the barrier between Dominion Coal Company's No. 25 colliery and workings which have been idle for the last half century, claimed the lives of two employees of the mine Saturday afternoon and caused extensive damage to the company's newest and most modern colliery. Henry Marsh and Wilson Beaton, both of Reserve, are believed to have been killed almost instantly as the torrent of water poured in on them as they were engaged at their accustomed duties loading in a room several hundred feet from the surface. Late this afternoon the water was still rising in No. 25 Colliery and officials were doubtful as to when the pumping equipment would succeed in lowering the water level sufficiently to allow rescuers to reach the place in which the two men are believed to be located. There is no possibility that either of the men are alive and it is believed that they died without fully realizing what had occurred. Awaiting Inspection Company officials would offer no explanation of the cause of the accident and said that this could be determined only after the mine had been pumped dry and an inspection made. Plans and records of the old workings would indicate that the barrier was at least three hundred feet in thickness. Provincial mining regulations provide that a barrier must be at least 200 feet, but for safety's sake company engineers had planned to leave at least 300 feet. The place in which the two men were working Saturday was to have been driven another 40 feet, it was learned today, and in the opinion of Company engineers the remaining barrier would have been sufficient to protect the new mine. Broke Through Room Marsh and Beaton had worked together in No. 25 since January of this year and had previously been employed as miners at No. 10 Colliery in Reserve. It is believed that the water (Continued on Page Two, Col. Three) broke through in the room in which the men were working and came in with such force that they were swept to their deaths without warning. Heard Crash Joseph McLeod and William McIntyre were working in another room about 100 feet above that in which Marsh and Beaton were employed. Both these men reported later that they heard the crash as the water swept in carrying everything before it. They realized immediately that a major accident had occurred and while they suspected the noise was caused by water, they started for the sound of disturbance. They had gone only a few feet when they met the water and were obliged to rush for the surface in order to escape themselves. Thomas Mackie, a chain runner, was also on his way into the mine when he encountered the water and was forced to rush from the scene. Officials At Scene T I McColl, General Manager and W B McDonald, General Superintendent of Mines headed a group of company officials that reached the scene shortly after the accident which occurred about six o'clock. Shortly after dark last night two pumps went into operation, but their capacity was less than the volume of water rushing into the mine. A third pump was added this morning and late this afternoon a fourth pump, with a capacity of 500 gallons a minute was put into operation. Offer No Opinion Officials would offer no opinion tonight as to when the bodies of the two victims could be recovered. It is felt, however, that the water has now leveled off and the only task remaining is to pump the mine dry. This may take several days, officials say. The flood has not affected the entire area. No. 25 and a large part of the mine escaped damage. The loss, however, is said to be heavy as a lot of valuable equipment was located in the section affected by the flood. During the day hundreds of persons visited the scene, but were not permitted to approach the plant. Details of Company policemen and R.C.M. Police were on duty since shortly after the mishap keeping the curious from hampering salvage efforts. The workings from which the water is believed to have come were abandoned about fifty years ago and were never worked by the Dominion Coal Company. New Mine The new mine has been in operation for a comparatively short time. In March of 1942 it was put into production and recently the daily output averaged about 200 tons. Modern mining equipment was in use in the colliery and it is the only one of the Company's ten collieries to be equipped with electric machinery. Older mining men today expressed the opinion that the old plans and records were probably inaccurate and that the barrier was not as thick as the engineering department supposed. Freeman Jenkins, U.M.W. District President with Tom Ling, Vice-President went into the mine last night later declaring that the Union would demand a complete and thorough investigation into all phases of the occurrence. Silby Barrett, U.M.W. International representative also went into the mine and proceeded towards the section affected as far as the water would permit. 16 MEN ESCAPE AS FLOOD WATERS SURGE INTO MINE Reserve, May 23 - Reserve residents first learned of the tragic accident at No. 25 colliery Saturday when the siren at the fire station was sounded first at seven o'clock and again at 8:15. Tragic accident at No. 25 Colliery Saturday when the siren at [sic] disaster proportions, although it was generally known that few men were in the mine at that hour on Saturday. Both victims of the tragedy were widely known in Reserve where they had resided for many years. Henry Marsh, one of those who died in the rush of water had lived here for upwards of forty years and had been very active in community affairs. Wilson Beaton, a native of Leitches Creek, had lived here for almost twenty years. Unmarried, he boarded at Stewart's Hotel, here. When the accident occurred there were eighteen men in the colliery, all of whom had entered the mine at 2:30. Anthony Wrathall is manager of the colliery and when the accident occurred, Pat Walker and Paddy Hines were on duty as overmen. Working Near Slope - Most of the men were working near the slope when the water broke through which gave them an opportunity to start for the surface before the water overtook them. The escape of Thomas Mackie, chainrunner, was described at the mine today as miraculous, as he was on the way in to the section flooded when he met the water and was forced to race for the surface so fast was the water rising. Workers and officials of the company remained on the job all Saturday night and several of them were underground during the entire time. Throughout the night sandwiches and hot coffee were served the workers at the colliery office which was converted into a lunch room. Members of the Senator William McKay Chapter, I.O.D.E. provided the sandwiches while water for the coffee was carried from the Mackie residence as the water at the mine was unfit for consumption. Hot plates were set up in the colliery office to heat the coffee while the cups and other dishes were placed at the disposal of the men by Reserve Fire Department. Staff Doubled - Today the staff of salvage workers was doubled in an effort to rush the job. It was not known late tonight just how much water is in the mine and how much must be pumped before the bodies are reached. Once the mine is cleared of water officials, experienced miners and safety first men will enter the colliery to locate the two workmen who at 2:30 Saturday entered the mine in a jovial mood. Friends of Mr Beaton say that he was always happy and in a quiet manner was fond of entertaining his fellow workers. First To Arrive - Mrs W R Munroe, Post-Record correspondent here was the first woman to arrive on the scene and at nine o'clock Saturday evening the area around No. 25 presented a grim spectacle. Darkness was closing in and workers were moving about observing a silence that was gripping. The men, garbed in rubber boots, soiled work clothes and blackened faces worked tirelessly aided by lights held in place in their safety caps. In the office officials were discussing the accident in a serious manner and in this group was Phonse Marsh, son of one of the victims. The youth is an official at the mine. Two women arrived shortly afterwards. These were Mrs Alex McNeil, whose husband's father is employed at the mine and about whom the family were anxious. With her was her husband and his sister, Miss Mary McNeil. Sons of the Marsh family stood about and were consoled by Rev L B sears, of St Joseph's parish. Today relatives of Mr Beaton, the second victim, arrived here from Leitches Creek and were accompanied to the pit mouth by Mrs Agnes Stewart, at whose hotel the deceased made his home. Chief of Police Walter McDonald was soon on the scene as were members of the armed forces other relatives or former miners now home on leave. In the wash house municipal councillor William Gouthro was encountered and he discussed the accident in low serious tones. He at first feared that his brother, Diddy Gouthro, local athlete was among the trapped men. Another brother, Sam Gouthro, also works at the mine as does Councillor Gouthro himself. Colin McKinnon, manager of the Reserve Miners Consumers Co-Operative Store was contacted and supplies were secured from this source. This supplemented by sandwiches stimulated the workers who took time off only to eat a few bites and drink some coffee before continuing their work. Watchmen from Glace Bay and New Waterford collieries were among those who kept guard at the plant today so that the large crowd that assembled would not hinder the work of the | men. | ||

| Martin | Hank (Anthony Charles) Martin | Cape Breton Post | 12/12/2009 | Hank (Anthony Charles) Martin, New Waterford Born in 31/03/1931 at New Waterford , Nova Scotia , Canada With heartfelt sorrow we announce the peaceful death of Hank Martin on December 10, 2009, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, An Cala, Palliative Care Unit. Although our hearts are broken it is with profound gratitude and thanksgiving that we return to God the soul of our beloved husband and father. Born in New Waterford on March 31, 1931, he was the eldest child of the late Anthony and Margaret (Young) Martin. July 31, 1951 was one of his happiest days when he married his life long love, Bernice (Bunny) Nicholson. He always said family was his greatest blessing and together his and mom’s lives were blessed with 14 children. Together we filled our home on Olive Street with an abundance of love, joy and laughter and you could always find dad and his faithful dog, Masie, in the middle of many a family reunion. Dad is survived by 12 of his children, Rick (Pauline), Tony (Suzanne), Sharon (Brian) MacDougall, Mary (Jim), Lorrie (Leroy) Hodder, Ronnie (Gail), Susie (Tim) Head, Margie Marsh, Wanda Doyle, Lynn (Derrick) Fitzgerald, Jamie (Heather), and his baby girl, Kelly. He was fondly known as poppy to his 38 grandchildren, Cara, Laura, Aaron, Meghan, Lauren, Kathie Ann, Chrissy, Marc, Angela, Shelley, Mallory, Valerie, Suzanne, Corey, Martin, Brittany, John Todd, Mitchell, Brendan, Paul, Joshua, Frances, Rachael, Bethany, Nicky, Nadine, Tim, Stephen, Stephanie, Savannah, Tony, Daniel, Artie, Samantha, Kaleigh, Connor, Hope and Destin. He was lovingly known as big poppy to his 10 great-grandchildren, Angus, Nailah, Malika, Hailey, Kristopher, Alex, Brittany, Madison, Nicole, and Callie. He is also survived by his loving sisters, Betty Baldwin, Doreen (Chris) Kelly, Mary Durham, Bernice (Mary Ann) Martin and his special little brother and friend Mikey (Janice). Also surviving him is his son-in-law Ash Jaffer and his sister-in-law Bette Martin and many special nieces and nephews, two of whom brought many moments of joy to him namely Carrie and Clarency (Cheryl). He is also survived by a very special family friend, Sharon (Burly). Our husband and father was a man of tremendous faith who believed in the goodness of mankind and as a result committed his life work to the service of others through his kinship with Bill W. He was a man of profound wisdom who was not only a mentor and confident to us his family but to many, many others (you know who you are). Hank spent 40 years of his life as a miner with the last 10 as the manager of Lingan Mine. He was also an active member of several mine rescue teams. After retirement he reluctantly took up the game of golf which became one of his greatest passions because it gave him another opportunity to embrace a whole new circle of friends. From the time dad was a young man he enjoyed playing sports, especially baseball and hockey. He was a lifelong faithful supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs (Go Leafs Go!) and locally you could always hear from Section 21, Row D, Seat 6 the heartfelt support of one the Screaming Eagles biggest fans. Although Hank’s life was filled with many rich blessings he lived with a deep sorrow over the death of two of his loving children David (April, 2002), and Judy (July, 2009). Both of these events left a tremendous emptiness in all of our lives. He was also predeceased by his brother, Willie (January, 2007); two sisters in infancy, Margaret and Bridget and by his in-laws, Stella (1986) and Rory (1974). Visitation will take place at the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 380 Smith St., New Waterford on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 7–9 p.m. and Sunday, December 13 from 2–4 and 7-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday, Dec. 14 at 11 a.m. at the Parish Church of St. Leonard, Mount Carmel Avenue, New Waterford, with Fr. Paul MacNeil officiating. A time of fellowship will follow at Saint Agnes Parish Hall, Convent Street, New Waterford. A private family committal service will take place at St. Agnes Cemetery. We sincerely thank the wonderful people of An Cala for their compassion and support and as an expression of sympathy we request a donation in dad’s memory to this very special worthwhile and necessary facility. Online condolences can be sent to www.vjmcgillivray.ca. “God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.” Eternal rest grant unto him. Welcome home good and faithful servant. “We’ll love you forever, We’ll like you for always, As long as we’re living Our Daddy you’ll be.” |

| Martin | Theodosia Ross Martin | St. John's Daily News | 29/03/1922 | Bill Cook | The Events for 1922 were transcribed by Chris Shelley with the help of John Baird. Reprinted courtesy of Robinson-Blackmore Printing and Publishing Mrs. Thomas MARTIN, Theodosia ROSS, daughter of the late Joseph ROSS, was born in the beautiful Margaree Valley, Cape Breton, just 56 years ago and came with her parents as a young girl in her teens to St. John's. Here her life has been spent. There are very few of us whose names will live in the annals of fame, but all of us may live so as to enter into that eternal life which endures when fame is at the end. There was much of this spirit in Mrs. MARTIN, for eight years she was evangelistic superintendent of the W.C. T. U. and was responsible for a service every third Sunday at the Penitentiary. There she was particularly interested in the young women with loving care she followed their devious paths all over the city finding homes for them, collecting funds to forward them to their homes and in many ways blessing them. As a nurse, her ministrations will be gratefully remembered in scores of homes. When the hand of disease was laid on her last summer and all that the skill of physicians could do was not able to stay its progress, hers was still a life of absolute trust. Of her spirit, the words of Bathurst's fine hymn were emphatically true. That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod But in the hour of grief or pain Can lean upon god A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last spark is fled. And, with a pure and Heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. | |||
