| 3052 | No, it's not a mistake, she was 12 yrs old when she married Richard Uniacke."In 1774 he (Moses Delesdernier) was in Philadelphia, "no doubt on a trading cruise," when happening to notice a number of immigrants landing on a wharf from a West Indian vessel, he was attracted by the appearance of a young man of striking personality. He accosted the youth and found that his name was Richard John Uniacke and that he had left his home in Ireland to seek his fortune. Delesdernier invited him to return to Sackville with him and he did so.

| 3060 | Not sure if this excerpt refers to this Robert Ward or not. Being born in 1603 he would be only 22 in 1625. "Among the tenants in the other part of the township in the 17th century was the family of Ward.They perhaps acquired their estate here from the Girlingtons, who owned 12 oxgangs in 1606. (fn. 118) Robert Ward held two messuages and 12 oxgangs in 1625, of which half was held of Sir George Conyers of Sockburn. (fn. 119) His son Robert (fn. 120) held lands in Over Dinsdale in 1633, (fn. 121) and Richard and Thomas Ward answered for five hearths there in 1673. (fn. 122) During the 18th century this family seems to have acquired the greater part of the township, and the Misses Ward were the principal landowners in 1823. (fn. 123) Their estate was subsequently acquired by the Rev. W. S. Temple, who sold it to Mr. J. Emerson" | WARD, Robert (I7758)

| 3066 | NOTED PAINTER DEAD. ----------------- Frederick E. Church, the Famous Landscape Artist, Passes Away in New York. ----- New York, April 9. - Frederick Edwin Church, the famous painter of landscape, died Saturday at 32 Park Avenue, in this city. He had been ill for a long time. He is survived by three sons and a daughter, Mrs. Church having died a year ago. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning and the burial will be in Hartford, Conn. [In many respects Frederick Edwin Church may be regarded as the founder of the American school of landscape painting. He had made his reputation before Bierstadt became famous, and in his day his works brought higher prices than those ever previously paid for pictures by American artists. Before he became known there were no landscape painters of prominence in this country. Mr. Church was born in Hartford, Conn., on May 4, 1826. He built a fine house at Catskill station in the late '60's. He was one of the few well-known artists who definitely retired from the active exercises of their profession after acquiring fortunes.] | CHURCH, Frederic Edwin (I23501)

| 3096 | Obituary It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Dorothy Marie Peters (Gallant) on July 8th, 2021, in Sydney, Nova Scotia.She was born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island on March 29th, 1932, to the late Max B. Gallant and Eustodie (Mae) Arsenault. Her earliest and fondest memories were of the times spent at her grandmother, Julie Arsenault’s, farm in Egmont Bay, Prince Edward Island.Dorothy always had a yearning for knowledge. This was reflected in her time at St. Francis Xavier and Boston University at the Fenway Campus where she studied and successfully became a Dental Hygienist, a real passion for her, travelling all throughout the Atlantic Provinces with Public Health to provide dental services to people in remote areas. While working for Public Health in Prince Edward Island, she met the late Henry Morton Peters, whom she married in her hometown of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, in 1951. They welcomed their first child, Richard in 1952 and in 1954, their second son, the late Michael Dennis Peters.They moved to Cape Breton in 1958 where she continued her career as a dental hygienist, built a home in the Mira Road area and lived with her family, for the majority of her life. In October of 1989, she lost her husband, and it was not until after she joined the Kingdom Hall, where she was baptized on May 7th, 1994 and became a faithful servant of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, that she managed to find peace.Through her entire life, Dorothy had a taste for adventure. This was reflected in her swimming the Northumberland Strait in 1955, becoming the 2nd woman to complete the journey, trips to the tropical islands of Antigua, countless camping, canoe and hiking trips with her best friend, Jesse and later with her grandchildren, on the Mira, throughout Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, as well as trips South of the border to the Eastern and Western United States.Dorothy had a rich and beautiful life, and she was loved and cherished by so many people, whose lives she had touched, in so many ways. She was predeceased by her parents, husband, sisters, Irene and Shirley, brother-in-law, Vic and brothers, Luis, Garfield, Alban 1, Alban 2 and John.Dorothy is survived and will be greatly missed by her son, Richard Peters, her grandchildren, Michelle, Christine, Michael, Charles, Sarah, Nicholas and Emma, as well as her great-grandchildren, Cameron, Alexander, Keegan, Rebecca, Aila and Myah.A memorial service will be held for Dorothy by her brothers and sisters at Kingdom Hall. Due to COVID restrictions, there will be no in-person service. Congregants, close friends and family will be able to attend the service via zoom.? | GALLANT, Dorothy Marie (I5338)
