| 1659 | Dr. Les Haley – 84, Truro, passed away suddenly with his wife, children, and sister at his side on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at Halifax Infirmary, QEII, Halifax. Known lovingly by many as Les, Grandad, Uncle, Big Guy, and Dr. Haley, he was all of those and so much more. Professionally, he wore many hats. He held titles as an Agrologist, Geneticist, Professor, Marine-Biologist, Dean, Chairman, Vice President, Principal, and Deputy Minister. A fascinating career was born from necessity, a deep curiosity, and a desire to help in a meaningful way. It wasn’t a "planned career" in today’s sense of achievement but emerged from a love for learning and higher education that started, and ended, at the agricultural college in Truro. The Haley Institute of Aquaculture on campus stands as a testament to his many contributions to science and education. Les was born to the late Walter and Hilda (Underwood) Haley in Curry's Corner, Nova Scotia in 1938 into a large family who were financially poor, but rich beyond most with an abundance of love and spirit. Les and his ten siblings got by happily on boiled potatoes and condensed milk for supper in a small two room house. He wouldn’t have changed a thing. His humble beginnings were what shaped his career, his passions, and how he lived his life. Les had the utmost empathy, respect, and understanding for others and left everyone he met with a feeling they were special. We were all special to him. Les had an endless twinkle in his eyes and his broad smile lit up any room. He will be most remembered for his iconic hugs that enveloped you with a loving warmth that you can never forget. He will always be our source of grounded wisdom. He was dearly loved and survived by his wife of 59 years, Lorraine; daughter, Elizabeth Klingseisen and husband, John, Atlanta; son, Paul and his wife, Shelley, Toronto; darling grandchildren, Benjamin, Haley, Inès and Finn; last living sibling, Pearl Williams and husband, Morris, Mount Uniacke; many loving nieces, nephews, in-laws, and extended family. We miss him deeply. A celebration of life is planned for summer of 2023. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to the Dr. Les Haley scholarship fund at the NSAC or Dalhousie University. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Private messages of condolence may be sent to the family by viewing Les’ obituary on-line and selecting "Send A Condolence" at: www.mattatallvarnerfh.com | HALEY, Leslie Ernest (I23814)

| 1660 | Dr. Pickup's Death Dr. William Alfred Pickup of Granville Ferry, died at Calgary, May 1st, in the thirty-first year of his age. The news of his death, following a brief illness, came as a great shock to his family. The death of this son of the family is made doubly sad in view of the death of his sister, Mrs. Hardwicke, which occured at Halifax the first of the year. Dr. Pickup was a graduate of McGill University and went to Alberta a few years ago where he was developing a large practice. He is survived by his mother, two sisters and one brother, all at home. The interment was at Granville Ferry. | PICKUP, Dr. William Alfred (I17723)

| 1668 | Duncanson says in his book dated 1891 'Mr. Scott is now dead'.In Edith Mosher's book 'North Along the Shore' on page 73, she tells the story of how George Scott saved the lives of his shipmates in 1870 and received medals for bravery. He however sustained injuries which caused his death a few years later.There is a "Painting by York in the Maritime Museum in Halifax, Nova Scotia. George R Scott received a medal on 5 Jan 1871 for act of heroism on 16 Oct 1870 while he was boatswain aboard the ship "Beethoven" out of St. Johns, New Brunswick, Canada. He went hand-over-hand along a rope between Beethoven and a steamship thereby saving 40 men's lives. The medal is a Silver Medal of Heroism awarded him in London. The captain of the Beethoven at the time was Joshua Smith. Captain Smith was brother-in-law of George's sister Laura Flora Scott Smith." | Source (S643)

| 1670 | Earliest record of Simon living in Nova Scotia is his son Robert's baptism record in 1786. Next he is mentioned in the Newport Township Book November 3, 1788: Meetings to discuss, among other things, the poor, were held in his home. Listed in the Poll Tax records for 1791-3 for Newport. In 1791 poll tax he was a "farmer with upwards of 6 head of cattle" Simon bought land in Newport, NS in 1797 from a Samuel Hoyle (lot 15) as follows: This Indenture made the fourteenth day of February and in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Seven and in the Thirty Seventh Year of His Majestys Reign, know all men by these presents that I Samuel Hoyle, Miller and planter of the Township of Newport County of Hants and Province of Nova Scotia for and in Consideration of the Sum of One hundred pounds Currency of this province to me in hand well and truly paid before the Ensealing and delivery of these presents by Simon Ward planter of the Township County and province aforesaid hath granted bargained Sold aliened Entrusted Released and Confirmed and by these presents doth grant bargained sold aliened Entrusted Released and Confirm unto the said Simon Ward his heirs Executors administration and Assigns for Ever Half that tract parcel or lot of land situate lying in the aforesaid Township of Newport being lot No.15 bounded as followeth viz. on the East by lands formerly belonging to Jonathan Card on the West by the Mill farm on the North by the River Hubbert Containing by Estimation two hundred acres min or together with all the buildings and improvements woods Watercourses, and the Reversion and remaining remittences and ________ with all and every the Appartenances hereunto belonging to the said Simon Ward his heirs executors administrators and assigns for Ever.

In Witness Hereto I hereunto set my Hand and Seal _____ Witnesses present Daniel Weeden, William Gill Signed Sealed and delivered in the presence of us this __ Day of February 1797 Samuel Hoyle --------------------------- Bought land in Newport, NS in 1810 from Thomas Smith (lot 14) Bought land in Newport, NS in 1811 from Terrence Cochrane (south 1/2 of lot 15...he already owned the north 1/2) Bought land in Newport, NS in ?. from Felix Cochrane (There was a Felix Cochrane who died in Newport in 1802) In the 1817 Hants County census, Simon is the head of a household of 6. 1 English born, 5 Nova Scotia born. Simon is the 1 English born. There were family stories (from another researcher) that Simon was from Yorkshire, England. The following are entries in the church records for St. James Anglican in Newport referring to Simon Ward: 1829 - 'subscription rec. for Churchyard Fence' 1832 - occupies pew #11 1833 - Easter Monday, Apr. 8th 'That Simon Ward be appointed 'vestryman' (this would be only a few weeks before Simon's death) - James Constantine & Simon Ward, pews both sold to D. Johnston 1835 - James Constantine occupies pew #11 1835 - Jehu Ward occupies pew #11 The IGI has a Simon Ward baptized 1757 who is, by a process of elimination, the right one. There was a Simon Ward listed among those onboard one of several prison/hospital ships in Wallabout Bay, New York during the 1780s at the end of the Revolutionary War. The source states: 'There is nothing to indicate what became of any of these prisoners, whether they died, escaped, or were exchanged.' However, one of these ships was used for 'transporting Loyalists to New Brunswick'. (source: http://www.usmm.org/revdead.html) As follows: Prison and hospital ships in Wallabout Bay: name, capacity, first year of use. Hope (capacity 200) - Left N.Y. on Apr. 27, 1783 arrived at mouth of St. John River, June 10-12, 1783 -- hospital prison ship used to transport Loyalists to New Brunswick See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_%28ship%29 This is supported by Louise Kasigian's family stories about Simon having worn a 'British' uniform with long white socks. - A Simon Ward is listed on the British Royal Navy's Ship's Muster of the infamous hospital/prison ship 'Jersey' Enlistment date 09 Jun 1779 Muster date ? Aug 1779 Jersey was abandoned and burned in Wallabout Bay at the end of the war, so Simon must have then transferred to 'Hope' for transport to Canada.
