The death of William H. WILLIAMS, which occurred Tuesday, removes a man who has watched the growth of the two cities of Portland and St. John almost from their infancy. He was born in 1805, spent most of his life until within a few years in St. John, was a keen observer of passing events and possessed a peculiar retentitive memory. In an interview with the writer some months since, Mr. Williams said: ‘I remember when the news first reached here of the battle of Salamanca and the burning of Moscow in 1812, of the battle of Waterloo in 1815, of the death of George III in 1820, of the death of Napoleon in 1821, of the death of Byron in 1824, of the great Miramichi fire in 1825, of the death of Bolivar in 1830, of the great ice flood in Fredericton in 1831, and of the crowning of Queen Victoria in 1838. When I was yourg, said Mr. Williams, we heard from England about twice a year. A week was occupied in transmitting the mails from St. John to Fredericton and six weeks in their conveyance from St. John to Quebec. 62 or 63 years ago, Mr. Williams was engaged in hauling ship timber from Golden Grove to several shipyards in St. John. About 60 years ago he was employed in the saw mill by Hon. Ward CHIPMAN which stood near the site now occupied by the Intercolonial Railway station. 55 or 56 years ago, he was put on the first public conveyance between Indiantown and St. John and at the same time engaged in the transportation of freight between St. John and Fredericton. His route was by ice during the winter and the mails were transported by the Nerepis on horseback, there being no wagon road between St. John and the capital. About 48 years ago Mr. Williams became the proprietor of the coach line between St. John and Fredericton. ‘We dined at Robert GOLDING’s at Long Island on our way up, and at Mrs. TILLEY, garndmother of Sir Leonard TILLEY at Gagetown, on our way down. My coaches accommodated 8 to 10 passengers comfortably and I had 60 horses, part of which were on the St. Andrews route which then was under my control. At the time of the Aroostock War (1839) I had a contract with the government for the conveyance of the officers of the army between St. John and Fredericton. The St. John Hotel at the head of King St. and Atherton’s at Fredericton were our headquarters. In the old days the winter road to Fredericton lay across the Marsh Bridge, thence out the Westmorland road past the burying grounds, whence it took a sharp angle to the left, striking the Marsh near the one mile house, then to Poverty Hall, which stood near where the McGowan House near stands. Thence the route lay across Kennebecasis bay. Mr. Williams was a man of great strength and agility and whenever any disturbance occurred among the rough characters at the hall, if he was present his single arm was powerful enough to quell it. His love for horses took him frequently to Courtenay Bay sands in the day of Larry STIVERS, Hugh WILSON and Sam GILLIS when the speed of the flyers was tried there in true English style.

One of the best known residents of St. Mary’s passed away last eve. in the person of Mrs. Samuel DAYTON, who has been suffering from cancer for the past year and confined to the bed most of the time since April last. She was the second wife of the late Samuel DAYTON, who carried on a successful business in St. Mary’s, which business is now conducted at the old stand by Mrs. Dayton’s sons, George S. DAYTON and Henry F. DAYTON. A daughter also survives her, viz. Miss Susan DAYTON who lives at home. The deceased was 56 years old and a native of Long’s Creek. She was a sister of George GILMAN of this city. The funeral will take place tomorrow 2 o’clock. The remains will be interred in the family lot in the Dayton Cemetery about four miles from town on the St. Mary’s side of the river. Undertaker John G. Adams will have charge of the arrangements.

At 1:30 p.m. Samuel DAYTON passed away and by his death St. Mary’s loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens. Mr. Dayton was 70 years of age, being born in 1824 on the old Dayton homestead in Douglas (York Co.). When 28 years of age he married Miss M.L. HANSALPACKER. The next year he started business in St. Mary’s and for forty years occupied the building which was destroyed in the fire of 1893. His first wife lived 13 years and of the union were born eight children. Five of these are now living: Benjamin DAYTON, Boston; J. Milton DAYTON, Edmundston (Madawaska Co.); W, Bruce DAYTON, St. Mary’s; Mrs. Hiram KILBURN, Presque Isle, Me.; and Mrs. Edward COLPITTS, Pleasant Vale (Albert Co.). In 1868 he married Miss Olivia GILMAN, sister of Ald. George GILMAN of this city. From this union three children survive their father: Miss Susan C. DAYTON, Geo. D. DAYTON and Henry F. DAYTON. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon 2 o’clock from his late residence, St. Mary’s and interment will be made in the provate cemetery on the Dayton homestead, Douglas.
