714 Annapolis Spectator, Friday, February 23, 1900:
The death of Mrs Jane Shafner, wife of Jas E Shafner, Esquire, of the Fern, took place on Monday, the 19th, and caused a gloom to hang over the village. Mrs Shafner had suffered greatly and most patiently and nobody could wish to deny her a happy release. The funeral was largely attended by her numerous relatives and many friends about her hospitable home in Granville. Many floral tributes attested to the regard in which she was deservedly held. Her daughters alone were unfortunately absent, being unable to attend. The services at the residence of James E Shafner, Esquire, were conducted by Reverend JE Warner, Rector, assisted by Reverend H How. The cortege then crossed the Ferry and the interment took place at Woodlawn. Mrs Shafner was 48 years of age.

The Evening Mail, Halifax:
Mrs. James E. Shafner.
Granville Ferry. February 22 -- The funeral of Hannah Jane, beloved wife of James E. Shafner, of Granville Ferry, took place on Thursday afternoon from her husband's residence. A large and reqresentative congregation filled the house. Rev. J.E. Warner was the officiating clergyman, assisted by Rev. H. How, Rev. Mr. Appleby read the lesson. The musical portion of the service was conducted by Miss Messenger, with much pathos. She had been in the house as a faithful nurse and made the organ weep. The address by the rector was very touching and edifying. Many very lovely floral tributes attested to the regard in which this worthy member of a worthy family was justly held. The cortege then crossed the ferry. Many leading citizens were at the head of the slip to meet the mourners. Among them were noticed his honor, Judge Savary, the leading merchants and others. The interment took place in Woodlawn where the comforting offices of the church were feelingly rendered. We heartily extend our sympathy to James E. Shafner, and his six children who mourn one whose patient suffering for long weary months makes us unwilling to refuse her the sweet calm of Paradise.

730 Archibald Smith and his wife Anna lived on the Lake farm at Scotch Village; the Genealogy of the Smith Family gives considerable detail concerning Archibald, 'Previous to his marriage in 1790, he worked as a farm hand on the farm at home and for his neighbours, the Allisons, Days and others. It was customary to drive the fatted cattle to halifax on foot. There were no bridges across the St. Croix River, and fords were established to safeguard crossings, imperilled by shifting sands on tidal waters. The common ford was at 'Gravel Point', seldom or never now used, but still to be seen. From Halifax to Yarmouth was the 'Old Coach Road', still visible, the trail, from Newport joining it, thence to Halifax, over Ardoise Hill, passing through the 500 acre grant given to the Rev. George Gillmore in 1784, by the Nova Scotia Gov. ... Archibald Smith, on one of these 'drives of cattle' to Halifax met the young lady Anne Gillmore, who became his wife in 1790, and the mother of the many that bear the name Smith and others. About this time he acquired a property adjoining the Gillmore Grant, on the north, with the intention of settling thereon. Receiving from his father that portion of the Bennett Farm already mentioned, he sold the Ardoise property to his brother Thomas. It is said that after their marriage they moved to Cambridge, Kempt Township, buying a large tract of land from one, Robert Johnson, paying the sum of 400 pounds. Why they removed is not clear, but apparently they were not satisfied with their change, for the next year, 1813, we find them exchanging this large tract for a smaller one in Scotch Village, known as the Nathan Lake farm....' SMITH, Archibald (I2687)

739 Article in the Evening Post Sat, Oct 15, 1927
To reach the honorable and remarkable age of four score years and ten, plus five, and be in good health with an active mind and body is the good fortune of Mrs. John H. Marsters, a native of Cheveries, Hants County, and who has made her home in Windsor for many years. From the Baptist Church was presented a real poem of congratulation and good wishes signed by over seventy-five members of the Church in which Mrs. Marsters was for many years an active member. Then there were flowers in abundance, some from friends in Vancouver and other points out of the Province. In the afternoon several friends enjoyed a cup of tea with this aged lady, - but her friends never think of her as old - and many were the congratulations tendered on this occasion.

Obituary July 1930
There passed away at an early hour on Saturday morning Mrs. John H. Marsters, in her 98th year. She was born at Kempt, Hants County, where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Smith resided. In her home locality she had year in and year out, for many years, taught in the Sunday School of the Baptist Church, never missing a day, and the same love of her church and its work was outstanding in her long life, many years of which were spent in Windsor. The marvelous changes which have taken place within her life time had always interested this aged lady, and being a very keen reader and very active up to a few years ago life has held much of interest fdor her. Her love of flowers called her to work among them up to a few years ago. For the past five weeks Mrs. Marster's condition became very serious and on Sunday she passed peacefully away at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Howorth, where she resided. Mrs. Marsters was predeceased by her husband and a son and daughter, and surviving her are a brother in New York and a sister, Mrs. Michael Skaling in Kempt. The remains were laid to rest in Maplewood cemetery, Rev. H.W. Mollins, officiating.

740 Article:
Bloody Doings on the Rio Grande
- The Brownsville, Texas, correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, in a very interesting letter of the 12th ult., gives the following account of the mysterious death of Master St. Luke, the young violinist, who, as a musical prodigy, created such a sensation in this country a few years since. - The affair is certainly shrouded in deep mystery. From this and the details which follow, it would appear, that the two towns celebrated in the Mexican war, still continue the theatre of blood and carnage, notwithstanding the cessation of hostilities between the warring nations.
A mysterious case of assassination occurred in this city a few nights ago. Master St. Luke, the celebrated violinist, received a stab in the breast and died without being able to say who was his murderer; it has not been since found out. When last seen, he was in company with two Mexican women; it is supposed that one of them committed the act, and that she was instigated by a sense of jealousy, as he was about to start for California. A day had scarcely passed over, when another affair occured, which had well nigh ended inthe death of one of the parties. A bad feeling had for some time existed between G.M. Armstrong and E.B. Scarborough, editor of the Sentinel, in consequence of an article pubished in that paper reflecteing upon the former. They accidentally met in the garrison, when Scarborough told Armstrong that he intended to shoot him that evening. Armstron hereupon drew his 'Texas Code of Practice' - asix shooter - and discharged four of the barrels at Scarborough, every shot taking effect. - The wounds are not considered mortal, and Scarborough is doing well. Armstrong has been arrested and held to bail in the sum of $5--- for his future appearance. On the same night that St. Luke was killed in Brownsville, there were two or three men killed in Matamoras. V. Fernandes, the revelutionist was massacred a few days ago on the road from Victoria to Monterey, by a party of soldiers, whose prisoner he was. The only exuse which they offered for this cowardly and boloody act is, that they apprehended he would be rescued from them. Thee are some thirty or forty revolutionists in prison at Vitoria, many of them men of high standing. 
ST. LUKE, John (I18286)
