Howden Robert Balmain Sends Interesting Letter to Historical Society (22 February 1936)

I found an interesting undated newspaper article in the 1936 York Sunbury Historical Society Minute Book attached to the minutes from April 16^th. 

Howden Robert Balmain Sends Interesting

Letter to Historical Society

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

“The following interesting letter written by Howden Robert Balmain of Scotchtown, Queens County was read before the Historical Soceity by Mrs. F. A. Good on behalf of Mrs. J. B. Maxwell, historian, who was unable to be present at the meeting. 

Sir:

I wish to thank the Historical Society of York and Sunbury for accepting me as a member.  I have sent to the society’s Historian, Mrs. Lillian Maxwell, a narrative by Senator Glasier of early steam-boating on the Saint John River.  I also ask them to kindly accept it as a valuable article of early steam-boating.  I also wish to say a few words about the compound marine engine and it’s invention by Benjamin F. Tibbetts.  Mr. Tibbetts made possible the expansion of steam from a high-pressure cylinder to a low-pressure cylinder, carrying the exhaust steam to the condensor.

It was not till three years later that a compound marine engine was in use and that was in Europe.  Mr. Tibbetts made two engines.  No. 1 was put in a boat on the St. Lawrence river, and afterwards came to Grand Lake and was named the Ben F. Tibbetts.  No. 2 was installed in the Reindeer.  This engine was made on the site of the Old Smith Foundry.

When the Reindeer was leaving the dock at Fredericton on the trial trip, Mr. Tibbetts was in the engine room, also John Tower his nephew.  When the gong rang to start her, Mr. Tibbetts utterly failed to do so.  He had to operate fourteen levers and valves, but failed to touch one of them.

Mr. Tower noticed this and said, “Uncle Ben, let me try.”  “Well, try if you like,” he told his nephew, and Tower started the machine.  Mr. Tibbetts was very excited.  The engine broke down, however, before the Reindeer for to Saint John.  People came from Maine, and other points to see the boat start.

Ben Tibbetts was born at Scotchtown, Grand Lake, and lived about forty years.  I believe he also was a watchmaker at one time.  He died in the house where he was born.  Henry McFarlane owned the house at that time.  Mr Tibbetts requested that after his death that an oak tree be planted at the heart of his grave.  It was all the monument he wanted.  However, a few years after his death a man whose name was Wiggins did start in a row boat with a stone to put at the grave.  A wind arose and the stone was put overboard and lost.

About thirty-eight years ago Henry Balmain and John Gunter, uncle and nephew, planted an oak at the head of the grave.  It was cut off several times.  But I, myself took charge.  Now a sturdy red oak and a cross mark the inventors grave.  If we had not kept a record no man now would know where Benjamin Tibbetts was buried.

Ben Tibbetts lay dying, it is told, when the tug Ben Tibbetts took on fire and drifted ashore on the same side of the lake, about sixteen miles above where Mr. Tibbetts died.  I am told the hull of the burned tug is still visible at low water.  There is a bronze tablet on the Customs House at Saint John, in memory of Tibbetts.  But I think the Historical Society of York and Sunbury will agree with me that a monument be placed at Tibbett’s grave; that the president of the Historical Sites Board be approached to erect a more substantial memorial to this man of worth, to be not forgotten by the public in the passing years.  

Yours cordially,
Howden Robert Balmain
Scotchtown, Queens Co., N. B.
February 22, 1936”

This tugboat was built in the 1860's with the engine of the steamer Reindeer after she was destroyed by fire in 1860. This engine saw service for over 70 years in several vessels.

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.).

W.H. QUINN has favored the ‘Gleaner’ with a list of gentlemen and firms who were doing business in Fredericton in 1840 and of those who have done business here since then and passed away or made changes. Some of the gentlemen in this list are still living. Mr. Quinn’s name also appears in the list of the veterans, he having been continuously in business in this city since 1850. The names which do not appear under the heading of some street are chiefly those of men who did business on Queen Street, although a few of them may have done business in some other locality.
