Jan 29th - We are having some nice weather now and the sleighing is getting good again, which the young folks will enjoy very much. We are sorry to report the death of Mrs. James Cleary, of North Riverside. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williams were the guest of Mrs. Robt. Cunningham, recently. A very pretty wedding took place in Havendale when Duncan Cunningham was married to Annie Farrell, of Glencoe, a very large crowd attended the wedding and all report a very enjoyable time. Congratulations to you Duncan. Miss Leona Cunningham has arrived home after spending three weeks with her sister, Mrs. Wm. Cleary. Mrs. Guy O'Connor and son Francis were the guest of Mrs. Robt. Cunningham one day recently. We are sorry to report Mr. Thomas Cleary's little boy on the sick list. Hope he will soon be beter again. Jan. 25. - The weather for the past few weeks has been very cold and stormy, making travelling difficult for the physicians who almost daily visit the place owing to an epidemic of flu, which is sweeping over the community. The death offurred on Tuesday evening, Jan. 21, 1923 of Capt. M.C. Horton, after an illness of one week of bronchial pneumonia. The deceased leaves a widow and eight children, all of whom were present at the funeral which was held on Sunday and largely attended. Mrs. Stephen Grant is convalescing after a severe attack of grippe. Mr. Alex MacKenzie is in Halifax undergoing an operation on his head. Messrs. Wm. Porter and Wm. Horton have returned home after a short trip to James River. The school attendance is very small at present, so many of the pupils are ill at their homes. Messrs. Willard and James Horton and their sister Mrs. Myrtis Hart are spending a few weeks with their mother, having been called home from Boston, Mass., by the sudden death of their father. Miss MacDonald, our school teacher spent the week-end with her parents at Cook's Cove. Mrs. Wm. Johnston is very ill at her home. Roy Jones, young son of Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Jones is suffering from pneumonia. The latest report was that he was slightly improving. We hope our next report will be more cheerful, that the weather will have cleared up and the old flue will have flown away. Wishing the Canso Breeze abundant success and continued prosperity. There passed away at his home at Roachvale, N.S., on January 2nd, a man worthy of mention in the person of Captain Moses C. Horton. His death has come as a great shock to the community, as he had been in perfect health until seven days before his death, when he contracted pleuro-pneumonia, to which he succumbed. Capt. Horton had followed the sea for practically his whole adult life, having been for years master of the "Beulah", owned by Mr. S.H. Pyle, Boylston. He retired from the sea about two years ago and has since been at home. About six months ago he purchased the farm adjoining his, formerly owned by Mr. C.B. Cunningham, on which he and his family moved. In religious belief, Capt. Horton was a Baptist, and he was one of the most helpful of men. He was of true Christian Character and will be greatly missed in the Church as well as at home and community. We feel we have lost our chief man in Roachvale and can think of no one to fill his place. Besides his wife, four sons and four daughters survive, Mrs. Alex E. MacKenzie, of Roachvale, Mrs. George B. Hart, of Boston; Mrs. Delbert S. Myers, of Queensport, and Miss Muriel at home, Willard and James of Boston, Vernon of Roachvale and Edgar at home, also an aged mother, two brothers and two sisters. He was 61 years old. His children were all home to the funeral on Sunday morning, January 7th, which was largely attended despite the bad roads. Some friends of the deceased drove as far as twenty-five miles to pay their last respects to one who was highly esteemed by all. Services were conducted at the house and grave by his pastor, Rev. H.L. Kinsman. A solo--"Somewhere the sun is Shining" was sung by Miss Agnes McKeen, of Guysboro. The remains were laid to rest in Guysboro Cemetery. The whole community extends their sympathy to the bereaved family, but their main consolation is to know that their loved one has gone to be forever with his Lord. |

Quite a congregation gathered for the service which was conducted by the pastor. The choir rendered two fine pieces of music and the clerk, Mr. S.O.

Owing to the state of the roads there was no mail from Friday morning to Tuesday morning. Instead of the regular prayer meeting being held, the young people walked down to the lighthouse and a song service was conducted by the U.B. Minister. For an hour and a half new and old hymns were sung. This was very much enjoyed by the light keeper and his wife. |
