He was in partnership for many years with the late Duncan GLASIER. He was elected to represent Sunbury Co. in the local legislature in 1859 and served in the position until March 11th, 1868. On that date he was elevated to the Dominion Senate. Senator GLASIER leaves one son and one daughter, Arthur GLASIER of Lincoln (Sunbury Co.) and Miss Blanche GLASIER.

Fredericton ‘Herald’ – The late John GLASIER was born at Lincoln (Sunbury Co.) in the house from which his remains were interred Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, 1809, and thus was past his 84th year. His grandfather, Benjamin GLASIER, arrived in New Brunswick from Massachusetts in 1779 and after remaining in St. John six months came up the river and took up a large tract of land in Lincoln, still owned by the GLASIERs. Benjamin GLASIER held a lieutenant’s commission in a Massachusetts Infantry Corps and the document appointing him to that position is still preserved as a family heirloom. It bears the signature of Thomas Hutchinson, the last English Governor and Captain General of Massachusetts. Lt. GLASIER saw active service in the French and Indian wars and was taken prisoner at the seige of Fort William Henry and held at Montreal Island for two years. His brother, Colonel Beamsley GLASIER, commended the 60th Regiment of Foot and his last station was at Halifax, N.S. For a time he was military governor of Pensicola, Florida. He died on his way to England. Col. GLASIER was granted large tracts of land in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for distinguished military service to the British Crown, the grants including the GLASIER manor at Nerepis and a large block of land in York, including the present day town site of Marysville. Benjamin GLASIER, father of Senator GLASIER, was born in 1773, six years before his father settled at Lincoln and lived until 1849. His sons were John, the subject of this sketch; Stephen GLASIER, still living at the age of 82; Duncan GLASIER who died ten years ago and Benjamin who died March 13, 1862. The last named was father of Duncan GLASIER of this city. There were also four sisters, only one of whom, Mrs. GARRATY of Woodstock, is now living. John GLASIER was married Sept. 24, 1842 at Lincoln to Miss Garraty, who survives him. They had seven children, but only two, Arthur GLASIER and Miss Blanche GLASIER are living. They occupy the old homestead which was erected by their grandfather 85 years ago. John GLASIER went into the lumbering and farming business when 21 years old and carried both on successfully for many years. He was born to the business, his father and Uncle Stephen having shipped large quantities of pine timber to England during their lives. They also engaged extensively in shipbuilding, constructing no less than 18 ships at a point just above the old family residence. The last one , the “Sultan”, launched in 1825, sailed for the East Indies and was never heard of again. John GLASIER’s first lumbering operations were carried on at Shogomoc in this county and he afterwards, in company with his brother, Stephen, extended it to the Upper St. John. He was the first white man to explore the Squattock Lakes and the first lumberman to bring a drive over the Grand Falls. The firm of GLASIER Brothers forty years ago were the largest operators in New Brunswick, employing at one time 600 men. Their product was most pine timber which was shipped to Robert Rankin & Co., Liverpool, G.B. The firm accumulated wealth rapidly and it is said they were at one time offered 80,000 for their business. John GLASIER retired from lumbering in 1873 in consequence of the bad times and low prices and from that time spent his life quietly on his farm at Lincoln, except while at Ottawa in attendance in Parliament. His first attempt to enter political life was in 1861, when with Hon. W.E. Perley he was elected to represent Sunbury in the House of Assembly. He ran on a ticket with the late Mr. Lunt and against Messrs. Perley and David Tapley, afterwards Police Magistrate of Portland. Mr. GLASIER’s majority was only ywo, but he was elected in 1865 and again in 1866. He was called to the Senate of Canada in 1866 and attended every seesion of that body since, dying at the capital while in the discharge of his Parliamentary duties.

The death occurred at Lincoln (Sunbury Co.) this morn. of Stephen GLASIER after an illness of about a week. He was one of the most influential lumbermen in the province. He was one of three brothers, the other two having passed away quite recently in the person of Senator John GLASIER and Duncan GLASIER. The former and his brother, Stephen, entered into the lumber business when young men and were the promoters of the first booms ever hung in Fredericton for lumbering purposes. The scene of their first lumber operations was on the Shogomoc. Then they bought large berths at the headwaters and carried on extensive operations for years. They were at one time among the wealthiest lumbermen in the province, their home in Lincoln being a scene of beauty and hospitality, but heavy losses sustained by booms breaking drew heavily on their resourced and reducing their wealth very considerably. In early times the booms were anchored by means of common anchors and buoys, so that while Messrs. GLASIER ammassed much wealth, the were liable to lose the accummulation of years in a single day by the breaking away of the booms, they being responsible for logs caught in them. The booms owned by Messrs. GLASIER were, in the course of time, sold out to the Fredericton Boom Company, Stephen GLASIER being appointed to the position of agent. This position he retained until some 10 years ago when advancing years forced him to resign, his place being taken by the present agent, W.H. HANNEBERY. For the last three years of his life, Mr. GLASIER has been in failing health, but not until Wednesday last was he at any time in a critical condition. On that day he was taken ill and gradually grew weaker until this morn. when he died. It is rather significant that the disease which caused his death, also carried off his father and brother, the late Senator GLASIER. The deceased was 84 years old and was twice married, the second wife surviving him. By the first wife he leaves two daughters, Mrs. COOMBES, Halifaxc, N.S. and Mrs. R.A. PAYNE, St. John. By his second wife he leaves three daughters and one son. The daughters are Mrs. C.W. BECKWITH and Mrs. W.K. ALLEN of this city and Mrs. FARQUHARSON, now living in England. The son, John GLASIER, lives on the homestead in Lincoln.

We regret to record the untimely death of Murray Bliss GLASIER, age 13, eldest s/o Duncan GLASIER, Esq. of Lincoln (Sunbury Co.) On Monday he was sent from home to carry dinner to one of his father’s men working at a brow of logs a short distance below Estey’s Mills. After accomplishing his errand, he remained talking with the man, until the latter having loaded his team, drove towards the river. After proceeding a short distance he heard a rumbling noise and looking back the boy was not visible. Fearing some accident, he returned and found him, head downwards, crushed between two logs, his left temple resting on a broken bottle. It is supposed he attempted to pry off one of the logs when it, with one upon which he was standing, gave way. – Fredericton Reporter

Atherton’s in the Papers

George R. ATHERTON breathed his last. He was in his 77th year and had been for some days been prostrated by an attack of apoplexy so that his death was not unexpected. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, W.G. GAUNCE and was buried Sunday in the Methodist cemetery. Rev. Dr. McLeod, of whose church the deceased had been a member, conducted the ceremonies at the house and grave. Mr. Atherton was a descendant, in the third generation, of one of the United Empire Loyalists who after the Revolutionary war preferred the wilderness of New Brunswick. His name was Benjamin ATHERTON, an officer in the British Commissariat. He came to Fredericton and received a grant of a lot of land on which the Government House now stands. Here he continued for some time, engaging in the fur trade with the Indians who made St. Anne’s (Fredericton) their periodical rendezvous. After a residence of some years he was offered his choice of lots between Fredericton and Woodstock in exchange for his grant. He chose Bear Island whither he removed to engage in farming and trading. He had five sons, one of whom, Stephen ATHERTON was the father of the man laid to rest last Sunday. Stephen also had five sons, three of whom are still alive, namely, Israel ATHERTON and John ATHERTON of Fredericton and Stephen now in Nebraska. Benjamin, the other brother, died a few years ago, shortly after establishing the Royal Hotel. George R. Atherton had 12 children by his wife Rebecca Anne McKEEN d/o John McKEEN of Mactaquack. Four of these are still living – Robert ATHERTON in the civil service in St. John; William ATHERTON in British Columbia; Eliza ATHERTON wife of William Grant GAUNCE and George L. ATHERTON, Fredericton druggist. In early life the subject of our sketch was engaged in the lumber business up the river Saint John. When chopping near St. Francis (Madawaska) the head of his comrade’s axe flew off and inflicted a severe gash on his knee. Blood flowed freely. Four miles from camp, the case seemed desperate, but nothing daunted, he dispatched his mate for assistance. Tired of waiting, after some time he tried to crawl toward camp on hands and one knee, but was soon met by a party of rescue and carried on the back of a stalwart friend to shelter. A surgeon was procured with difficulty and the gaping wound stitched up. Israel Atherton, his brother, went up from Fredericton and brought him here where, during an interval of six years, he has since remained. These things happened 44 years ago. He then rented the Commercial Hotel on York St. which he afterwards gave up to his brother and commenced the livery stable business by which he is best known to the general public. The Atherton Stables on York St. were for many years noted headquarters for horseflesh. He contracted to carry the mails from Fredericton to Woodstock and had often more than one hundred horses engaged in that business alone. During the stirring times of the Trent affair, when British troops were being sent to Quebec through Fredericton, he rendered the military authorities valuable assistance in horses and sleds. A few years after this warlike period he went to Halifax where he remained for six years. Returning to Fredericton he has spent the happy eve of his life in the society of his own kith and kin. The descendants of Benjamin Atherton are now very numerous. In Dr. ATHERTON, now of Toronto, the medical profession has a distinguished member.

It was with surprise that citizens heard of the death of George F. ATHERTON’s serious illness this morn. and they were far more surprised when it became known that Mr. ATHERTON passed away about 2 o’clock this afternoon. It was only the day before yesterday that he was walking about the street looking quite well and as happy as usual. Yesterday morn., however, he arose feeling rather unwell and as eve. approached he became completely prostrated. Medical aid was at once summoned and everything possible was done to revive him, but he gradually grew weaker until this afternoon when death claimed himn as his own. Mr. ATHERTON has been suffering for the past 3 or 4 years from diabetes, but heart failure resulting from this disease was the direct cause of death. Deceased was well known in York and Carleton counties having done an extensive business in both counties. He carried on a large grocery business in the city on Queen Street, just opposite the Peoples Bank of for many years. About 12 years ago he removed to Woodstock and carried on a successful business along this line until about three years ago when failing health forced him to retire from active business life. He then returned to Fredericton where he has been living quietly ever since. He was stout and robust and always wore a happy expression. He entered the Free Baptist Church in this city about 50 years ago, since which time he has been an active member of that denomination and held the ofice of senior deacon. He was also president of the Y.M.C.A. in this city some years ago. Mr. ATHERTON was a native of York Co., being born in Queensbury 59 years ago and for 50 years, with the exception of nine years he was absent in Woodstock, has been a resident of Fredericton. A wife, two daughters and one son survive him. His son, Edward R. ATHERTON is now a resident of British Columbia. Dr. ATHERTON, formerly of this city and now practicing in Toronto, Ontario, is a brother of the deceased. His surviving sisters are Mrs. Thomas W. SMITH, formerly of this city, but now living in California and Mrs. George CLIFF of this city. An aged mother also survives him. The funeral will take place at 2:30 Friday afternoon from his late residence on York Street to the old burying ground on Brunswick Street.

Thomas C. ATHERTON died suddenly this afternoon at his home on Queen Street. He had been ill for the past year or two with heart disease, but up to the time of his death was able to be about town. This morn. he ate a light breakfast and about 11 o’clock walked down front street as far as the City Hall. Returning to the house he complained of not feeling as well as usual and called for a drink of warm milk which was brought to him and only a small quantity of which he drank. He continued to grow weaker in spite of everything that could be done and at 2 o’clock he passed away. Deceased was 80 years old and leaves a widow, two sons and three daughters. One of the sons, Barry ATHERTON is manager of the R.B. Atkinson Furniture Co. and the other son, Burtt ATKINSON is living at home.

On Saturday afternoon, three boys, viz., James SENTELL, aged 16, Robert NOBLE, about the same age and Frank ATHERTON, age 10, went out to the Tower woods, NOBLE having a fowling piece and some powder and shot. They amused themselves for some time firing at trees and other objects. After their supply of shot was exhausted, they found a piece of copper which they used instead, searching for it after each discharge and replacing it in the gun. In the meantime, NOBLE strayed from his companions leaving the gun with them. SENTELL loaded it with powder only, he says, and placed it on the ground and went in search of NOBLE to get some caps, obtained them and returned. ATHERTON, standing about 60 feet off, told SENTELL he might fire at him. Believing, SENTELL says, that the gun was only charged with powder, he fired at ATHERTON who staggered, fell and died immediately. Two other boys who were rambling in the woods happened to come up and saw the shot fired. The frightened boys ran to the city and told what had occurred. A number of persons were soon on the scene and it was found the piece of copper had entered ATHERTON’s heart. Frank ATHERTON, the deceased, was s/o G.R. ATHERTON, formerly of Fredericton, N.B. and a brother of W.T. ATHERTON, proprietor of Halifax Livery Stables. Jas.
