It was but two days ago we noticed the breaking up of the Union Line of steamers and today we announce the death of Capt. Charles H. HATHEWAY, for many years associated with late Otis SMALL in the management thereof. He was born at Lancaster (St. John) in 1822, went to Fredericton in 1834, his residence being on the corner of Brunswick and Regents streets and came to St. John in 1848. He afterwards purchased Hillside Farm, Lancaster where he resided to the gour of his death. Capt. Hatheway married the fourth d/o John C. LITTLEHALE of Carleton, whom with one daughter and three sons survivie him. The history of the Union Line which has served the public for years in steam passenger faculties on the St. John River and across the Bay is to the great extent the history of the Hatheway family. Frederick W. HATHEWAY built the steamer “Forest Queen”, 320 tons, at Springhill above Fredericton in 1848, which plied between Saint John and Fredericton. Otis Small bought a half interest in this steamer in 1850.

The Anna Augusta began service in 1851. She carried the New Brunswick delegates to the 1864 Charlottetown Conference which led to Confederation.

They then built at Fredericton the “Anna Augusta”, named after Mrs. Anna Augusta HATHEWAY. It was at this time that the firm of Hatheway & Small was formed. In 1851, they built in Carleton the steamer “Union”, about 400 tons, to ply on the river and its tributaries.

The Union served 1851 to 1863, when bought by the Confederate Government for service as a blockade runner during the American Civil War.

In the winter of 1850, they bought the steamer “Creole” in New York and repairing her, ran her on the route between St. John and Portland, Me. for about two years. They then sold her to King Bros. of Nova Scotia to carry mail and passengers between Saint John and Annapolis. Meeting with an accident while under tow to St. John, she sank in the Bay. In 1851 they bought the steamer “Madawaska” which was running in the river between Grand Falls and St. Francis, hauled her across the Portage and ran her on the lower St. John.

The Reindeer was the first on the river to use the new compound engine invented by Benjamin Tibbets. She served 1845 to 1860.

The same year they bought the “Reindeer”, 200 tons, high and low pressure engines, of light draft to ply between Woodstock and Grand Falls. They rebuilt her in 1862 changing her name to “Antelope” and in 1869 sold her to D.D. GLASIER by whom she was used as a tug boat.

Lasting in service from 1861 through 1875, the Antelope was one of the fastest steamers on the upper river service.

In 1853 they built the sternwheel steamer “Richmond” and in 1855 bought the “John Warren”. In 1853 they bought the “St. John”, 800 tons, and continued her on the Fredericton route for about seven years when they sold her and the “Union” to blockade runners.

In service 1853 to 1861, the Richmond was one of the first steamers to keep a regular scheduled service upriver from Fredericton.

The “St. John” was lost off Cape Hatteras. In 1857 they built the “Emperor” at Carleton which they ran at first to Portland and Boston and afterwards in the Bay. She was sold in 1871 and wrecked in Penobscot Bay in 1872. They built the “Empress” in 1865 for the St. John, Digby and Annapolis route. In 1861 they bought the “New York” at Ogdensburg, N.Y., brought her down the Lachine Rapids and St. Lawrence River and put her on the Boston route.

The City of Saint John entered service in 1867 and belonged to an early shipping fleet on the St. John River, the Express Line

She was chartered to the U.S. Government for war purposes and was afterwards sold to A.E. Souder & Co., Philapdephia, by whom she was sold to the International Line. The firm of Hatheway & Small was dissolved by the death of F.W. Hatheway in 1866. Mr. Small formed a partnership with Capt. Charles H. Hatheway, who had been master of the “Forest Queen” from 1849 to 1860, having a third interest in her since 1854. He also had previously an interest in the “Emperor”, “Empress” and “Antelope”.

The Fawn was one of the fastest on the Fredericton - Saint John circuit. She often made the trip in less than 6 hours. She served 1867 to 1886.

The new firm purchased all the steamboat interests of the deceased. In 1866 they built the river steamer “David Weston”, (named after her current commander who had been a master in the employ of H.& S. from the beginning) and the next year they built the “Fawn” and in 1869 the “May Queen”. In 1871 Mr. Small purchased for the firm in London the swift steel-plated, feeathering-float, side-wheel steamer “Scud” which had been built for mail and passenger service across the English Channel between Dover and Calais.

The longest serving steamer ever to ply the St. John River, the May Queen lasted from 1869 till 1918.

After purchasing they put a dining saloon and other works on the deck. She was lost in 1882 on the route between Nova Scotia ports and Boston. Of the founder of the Union Line, Frederick W. Hatheway was born in Burton (Sunbury Co.) in 1811, moved to Lancaster in 1818 where he engaged in milling; thence to Fredericton in 1833 when he engaged in mercantile business, lumbering and supplying. He returned to Saint John in 1852 and died in 1866. Otis Small was born in Wales, State of Maine in 1808 and learned the Mason’s trade in Portland, Maine and in 1830 moved to Bangor where he pursuied his trade.

The desolate end of the David Weston in 1903 was an all too typical end for many of the St. John River riverboats.

He came to Saint John just after the great fire in 1839 and took a prominent part in re-building the city. Among the chief structures erected by him were the Old Custom House in 1842-43, Lunatic Asylum in 1847-48 and the towers of the Suspension Bridge. He was a prominent mover in the erection of the Victoria Hotel and built the Dock street opera house in 1871. He also built in Fredericton, Christ Church Cathedral, parish church, Barker House block and the officer’s barracks.

MC300-MS64 York-Sunbury Historical Society Collection Description  (page 277)

If you are interested in any of these files then please contact the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick.

“This collection is made up of the correspondence of the Montgomery-Campbell family, dating from 1850 to 1964.  It is divided according to family member.  The bulk of the material (64/1) covers the career of Colonel Henry Montgomery-Campbell (1859-1933) O.B.E., V.D., of Apohaqui, Kings County, and Fredericton.  He commanded the 8th Princess Louise Hussars, 12th Infantry Brigade; organized the 64th Battalion, C.E.F., and commanded an Imperial labor brigade overseas in World War I.  His papers include his military commissions, certificates, and correspondence; official military records; personal and business correspondence; some biographical information, clippings; and photographs.  Information on his wife, Laura (Winslow) Montgomery-Campbell (1864-1953) is also included.

The papers of Henry’s brother, Brigadier-General Herbert Montgomery-Campbell (1861-1937) are found in 64/2.  He attended the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, and was commissioned with the Royal Artillery in the Imperial Army.  He served in Africa during the Boer War; in India; and commanded the 46th Divisional Artillery in the Great War.  He was wounded in 1918, and at the close of his military career lived at Kelston Park, Bath, England.  Included in this section are his military papers, biographical information; clippings, and photographs.

 Other family members represented in the collection are Herbert Montgomery-Campbell (son of Henry) who was killed in World War I; Constance Montgomery-Campbell (daughter of Henry); and Sophia Storie (Saunders) Montgomery-Campbell (mother of Henry and Herbert).  Additional items, which relate to the family in general are clippings; photographs; papers relating to “Fox Hill” at Apohaqui; and the sale of lands in Fredericton.  Herbert and Henry Montgomery-Campbell were great-grandsons of Captain John Saunders, Loyalist and Chief Justice of New Brunswick–hence the frequent reference to the “Saunders” name in this collection.

 The Montgomery-Campbell photographs are described in this series and have been transferred to the Photograph Section.

Treasures at the Archives

Neatly labelled, the pressed flowers are contained in archival safe boxes.

After learning about the Wolhaupter Pressed Flower Collection (MC300-MS16/20), I had to visit the archives to look at them.  For those of you who haven’t seen the post, George Wolhaupter was born in 1827 and worked as a clerk in the Surveyor-General’s office.  He graduated from the King’s College (Fredericton) in 1854 with an engineering degree and was the organist and choir master at the Christ Church Cathedral.  He married Harriett Amelia Carman in 1858 and they had one son in 1859.  George died in 1860, after which, his wife and son moved to Sarnia, Ontario.  George’s son went on to be an inventor! 

My daughter, Mom and I met up with Koral at the Archives after lunch.  Here are just some of the treasures that we found!
