Death: William
Mitchell; Clones; September 24, 1889
Notes for J ANE
WILSON:
Any record of
Jane's death could not be found. However, since she does not appear
with William in the 1871 Census (William was listed as a Widower),
and since their last child was born in 1860, it is presumed she died
sometime between 1860 and 1871. An entry in Microfilm F7826, New
Brunswick Archives records ______ Mitchell, Upper Clones, Buried
November 9, 1867. This could possibly be Jane Mitchell.
Notes for J ANE
MITCHELL:
Information found on the Internet, in Irish Genealogy search,
includes Jane Mitchell, age 10, with her parents and four siblings,
arriving from the Port of Derry, Ireland, on the vessel Portland, to
Saint John, NB in 1847. She was ten years of age.
No other information can be found on Jane. Since another child in
the family was named Jane (born 1853), it is likely that the first
Jane had died sometime between 1847 and 1853.

Mrs. George Corbett
Gagetown, Nov. 9 -
The death took place at North Clones on Thursday, Nov. 3, of
Isabella, wife of George Corbett. Mrs. Corbett had been in poor
health for some time and the end came suddenly from heart failure on
Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock. She is survived by her husband, two
sons and four daughters. The former are: William B. Corbett, of
Waterbury (Conn.), who was visiting at home at the time; and George
F. Corbett of N. Clones. The daughters are: Mrs. Charles D. McKee,
Cape Spencer (N. B.); Mrs. John B. Reid, Summerhill (N. B.); Mrs.
George Allingham, Gagetown and Miss Marie Corbett at home. Mrs.
Corbett also leaves four brothers - John, James and George Mitchell,
of North Clones, and William, of St. John. Her sisters are: Mrs.
Edward Rolston, Boston (Mass.); Mrs. John Kidney, Waterbury (Conn.);
and Mrs. Stewart Law, of Gagetown. The funeral took place Friday
afternoon and was largely attended. Rev. Mr. Wason, of the Methodist
church, conducted the funeral services and interment was made in the
Kirk burial groud at Head Line. The pallbearers were: William Lyon,
Benjamin Mitchell, George Corbett, James E. Corbett, James Mitchell
and Baniford Kerr, of North Clones. The floral tributes were many
and very beautiful. Mrs. Corbett left a place in her home and
community, which will be hard to fill. Her unfailing kindness in
cases of sickness and sorrow makes her loss one which will be felt
for a long time to come by a large circle of friends, not only about
her home, but elsewhere.

George M. Corbett
Gagetown, April 29
- On Saturday, April 21, George M. Corbett, an aged and highly
respected resident of North Clones, passed away at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. John Reid, of Summerhill, after some months of
gradual decline. Mr. Corbett, who had reached the good old age of
eighty-four, had for fifty-five years been a member of the Orange
Lodge, No. 99, of North Clones, and for fifty years had been a
member of the Methodist church. Forty-one years of his life were
spent at North Clones, where he was engaged in farming, until
eighteen months ago, when on the death of his wife, he went to
reside with his daughter. Three daughters and two sons survive, Mrs.
John Reid, Summerhill; Mrs. Geo. Allingham, Gagetown; Mrs. Charles
Olsen, Waterbury (Conn.); William B. Corbett, Waterbury (Conn.);
George F. Corbett, Gagetown; also one brother, Samuel Corbett, whose
home is in Montreal. Mrs. Olsen was fortunately able to reach
Summerhill before her father passed away. The funeral services took
place on Monday afternoon, from his late home in Summerhill, and
despite the bad roads, a large gathering of friends and relatives
was present to pay the last tribute of respect to an old and worthy
neighbor. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Wason, of
Summerhill, and interment was made in the Kirk churchyard.

resided all their married life, building up a large and mixed farming business.

and injuries to his head and back and his condition tonight is
regarded as serious. The boy was the youngest son on Mr. and

Jones - McKinney
St. John's Church, Gagetown, was the scene of a wedding of interest on
Saturday afternoon when the rector, Rev. Herbert J. Hoyt, solemnized the
marriage of Mary Isabell McKinney, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Herbert
McKinney, and Raymond Brundage Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Faulds Jones of Upper
Greenwich. Fragrant white syringa, rose peonies and fern made an effective
background for the ceremony. White satin bows, holding sprays of pink rosebuds
and fern marked the guest pews. The bridal party entered the church as the choir
sang the wedding hymn. The bride wore a floor-length gown of white bridal satin
in two-piece effect, with net yoke outlined with cut work. The same trimming
ornamented the peplum and long tight sleeves. Her finger-tip veil of tulle
illusion fell from a Mary Stuart coronet outlined with orange blossoms. She
carried an arm bouquet of American Beauty roses. Miss Norma Reid, niece of the
bride, was her attendant, wearing a gown of robin's egg blue sheer, made with
shirred bodice and sweetheart neckline. Her halo headdress was of matching blue
net, and she carried a colonial bouquet of pink sweetpeas and roses, tied with
rainbow ribbons. Glenn Bird, Moncton, brother-in-law of the groom, was
groomsman. The ushers were Gordon McKinney, brother of the bride, and Jack N.
Inch, Oak Point, brother-in-law. Miss G. H. Gilbert was organist, and assisted
by the choir, rendered nuptial music during the ceremony. A reception for about
sixty guests followed at McKinney Hotel, where the decorations were in blue and
white. Mrs. Herbert J. Hoyt and Mrs. Ivory McLean, aunt of the groom, Cumberland
Bay, presided over the tea and coffee cups. Those assisting were Mrs. Lloyd S.
McKinney, Mrs. Gordon McKinney, Mrs. Jack N. Inch, Miss Verna McKinney, Mrs.
Kellie Reid, and Mrs. Alfred McDonald. Rev. Herbert J. Hoyt proposed the toast
to the bride, to which the groom responded.
Mrs. McKinney, mother of the bride, wore navy and white crepe, printed in
lace effect, with navy hat trimmed with white lace. Mrs. Jones, mother of the
groom, was gowned in navy triple sheer with navy and white hat. Both wore
corsages of red roses. Mr. and Mrs. Jones left on a motor trip to Virginia,
where they will visit relatives of the groom. The gifts included a chest of
silver from J. N. Inch, Oak Point, with whom the bride has been employed since
graduating from Gagetown Grammar School six years ago. She was honor guest at
showers and teas in Gagetown and Oak Point. Mr. and Mrs. Jones will reside at

Notes for DORIS
MAUD
RODGERS:
An interesting article was printed in the KINGS COUNTY RECORD on June 4,
1986, featuring Doris' parents, Bill and "Mima" Rodgers. Part of the article
follows:
Loyal Kings County Record
by Bob Wishart
When Bill and Mima Rodgers were married in 1919, they began to take the
'Kings County Record' by subscription at their home in Grove Hill near
Barnesville.
"We picked up the paper at the Barnesville Post Office and it cost $1 per
year which was a lot of money then." Bill Rodgers recollects making that sum for
a whole day's work in the woods, using nothing but a broad axe to fell the
timber that would go for saw logs. "Later on, the wages went up to $32 per
month," he said.
Rodgers, 90, and his wife, 88, still live in the Barnesville area of Kings
County and most of their family of two boys and five girls are nearby, as are
many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
When asked what was different in the paper at that time, Bill couldn't list a
lot, saying that the local news was published then, as now, and was very much
appreciated by people living in semi-isolation in a community just about a
half-hour drive from Saint John today.
In the pre-Depression years, Rodgers would rise around 4 a. m. to harness his
team of horses and make the three hour trip into Saint John to try and sell
produce, butter or eggs at the City Market. As Mima says, "We had to do it to
make ends meet." Bill added, "There is more wasted today than a lot of people
had to live on then!"
Later on, during the Great Depression, the Rodgers sold butter for 16 cents a
pound and milk could be bought for as little as eight cents a quart.
The sprintly couple related how the paper carried news of the casualities
during the Second World War, and how there were always pictures in it, even in
the earliest editions.
Some of the events that stick in the couple's minds are the big fire at
Flewwelling's Match Factory in Hampton and the difficulty the old railway
engines had in getting up the slight incline out of Cusack Station when loaded
down with sawn lumber. Bill laughed at that, saying he and his buddies used to
put gravel on the track to add traction for the locomotive.
The paper has always had lots of advertisements, according to the Rodgers,
but there were far fewer homes and other properties for sale in times past
since, as Mima says, "People didn't move much and the properties stayed in the
families."
The Rodgers seemed to recollect the newspaper being just about the same
thickness as today and they said that the mail came three times a week with the
Kings County Record arriving on either Wednesday or Thursday, just like today.
The area was indeed virgin territory in a lot of places and Mima described how
Dr. Leatherbarrow took two days to get from Hampton to Salmon River in the dead
of winter owing to deep snow and the loss of more than one horse along the way.
Times were tough back then but without the weekly newspaper the Rodgers say
they would have been a lot tougher. Mima summed up the feelings of a lot of
folks of her generation when she said, "I depended on my Record just like I
depended on my meals."
