From Our Collection: “G. Minchin” Fire Bucket

“G. Minchin” Leather Fire Bucket 1969.1008.1

I was looking at this artefact and the name written on the side, “G. Minchin”, piqued my curiosity.  In the Fredericton, and in most early communities, the leather buckets, probably made by local cobblers, transported water to the fire sites.  They were passed from hand to hand by lines of male volunteers and when emptied they were returned by another line of boys and women, to be refilled.  A bucket usually bore the homeowner’s name in paint because after a fire, buckets would lay heaped in piles waiting to be reclaimed by their owners.  To distinguish one from another, people began to paint their names, initials, emblems and designs on them.  Some were very ornate. 

The one in the York Sunbury Museum collection use to belong to the Minchin family.  I don’t know much about the Minchin’s in Fredericton, however, Daniel F. Johnson’s New Brunswick Newspaper Vital Statistic transcripts has several references to the family.  Here is some of what I found.  This great database is posted by the Province of New Brunswick Archives, thanks PANB!

Remembrances by an older Inhabitant: .. The house at present occupied by Mrs. TIPPETT and for some time by the late Col. MINCHIN was originally occupied for many years from a very early period, and he thinks built by Peter FRASER, who had his store in the house. He was a Scotchman who carried on a large mercantile business, having extensive dealings all over the country. The Indians brought here large quantities of furs in exchange for other goods, as also the French from Madawaska, who also brought down flour. Mr. Fraser amassed quite a large fortune, died without children, having devised his property to his own and his wife’s relations with some gifts to charitable objects. For manyyears his principal clerk was the late James STREET who subsequently carried on business at St. Andrews. Mr. Street was well remembered for the erection he held in the long walk he took every day. He was succeeded by Robert LAMB who remained with him till he died. Mr. Lamb went to Scotland himself to inherit a large estate that one Bailey LAMB left him there. He was afterwards accidentally shot going over a fence hunting, by Isaac COX who had married one of his sisters. Peter Fraser represented York Co. in the House of Assembly.

On the piece of ground called Governor’s Field in the year 1835 the 1st Battalion York Co. militia, under the command of Lt. Col. MINCHIN was presented by a pair of colors by Lady Campbell wife of Major General Sir Archibald Campbell, then Lt. Gov. of New Brunswick. Very few men remain alive who were present on that eventful day. Among the few who is the present Chief Justice ALLEN who was on the ground as a member of the militia artillery, commanded by Capt. John SHORE. Capt. Shore afterwards received a commission in the 24th Regt. of the regular army and left the Province never to return. At the battle of Chillianwallah, in the Punjaub, fought 13th Jan. 1849 against a force of 60,000 Sikhs, by a British force of 22,000 under the command of the brave, but headstrong and rash Lord Gough, the 24th Regt. was nearly cut to pieces, and Capt. Shore fell among those who sacrificed their lives on that ill-fated day to preserve British supremecy in India.

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.

Thursday eve., Mrs. GLASIER, who for over half a century had been the partner of his joys and sorrows, joined her husband in the spirit land. Her death, which took place at the homestead in Lincoln, was not unexpected as her health had been failing for some time, rapidly so since Senator GLASIER’s decease. Deceased was a d/o George GARRATY of Sunbury Co. and was married Sept. 24th, 1842. She was the mother of seven children, only two of whom, Arthur GLASIER and Miss Blanche GLASIER, are now living.

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
