Atherton’s in the Papers

I was cruising through Daniel Johnson‘s transcriptions today and found these newspaper transcriptions pertaining to the Atherton Family in Fredericton.  This is just some of what I found, there’s lots more!

Transcribed by Daniel F. Johnson.

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.

She was a d/o late Stephen ATHERTON of that place, her brothers being Geo. R. ATHERTON, Deacon Israel ATHERTON and John ATHERTON late of this city. Early in life Mrs. Brown professed religion during an extensive revival at Bear Island and joined the Free Baptist Church at that place at its organization. Her funeral takes place Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock from her residence, Brunswick Street. Rev. F.C. Hartley and Rev. Dr. Mcleod are to attend and undertaker John G.

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. SENTELL, who fired the fatal shot, is a s/o James SENTELL, keeper of the County Court House. He is in jail awaiting further proceedings – Halifax ‘Chronicle’ 

15th Regiment of Foot in Fredericton in the 1860s

July 31, 2010

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was referred to you by Ian … of the Fredericton Heritage Trust. I am the great-great-granddaughter of Private 189 John White who served in the 15th Regiment of Foot in Fredericton in the 1860s. His daughter Mary Anne White was born in Saint John on 31st May 1865 and baptised in Fredericton on 1st July 1865. The family later returned to England in 1879, at the end of John White’s military service. We have his long service and good conduct medal, his daughter’s birth/baptismal certificate and some details of his army record.

My brothers and I are coming to Canada shortly and will be visiting Fredericton on Tuesday 24th August, primarily to visit historic sites associated with the 15th Regiment, such as the Guard House which has a display of items used by the 15th Regiment. We are interested in any records or other sources of information about the 15th Regiment of Foot in Canada between 1862 and 1868, and would be very grateful for any pointers you might be able to give us. We will be bringing the medal with us, along with the various documents we have, and wonder whether you might be interested in seeing these?

Regards, Katy (Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK)

Gary,

Do you have any suggestions for Katy?  

Ruth (Executive Director, York Sunbury Historical Society & Museum)

August 3, 2010 … later that day …

Dear Katy and Ruth,

First, I think that it is a wonderful that Katy and her family are going to retrace her ancestor’s footsteps in New Brunswick! Second, Ruth – thank you for inviting me to participate.

According to my notes, the 1^st Battalion of the 15^th Regiment deployed to New Brunswick in the winter of 1862 as part of the troop reinforcement in response to the Trent Affair of 1861.  This link will take you to an article about this event – http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/caj/documents/vol_02/iss_4/CAJ_vol2.4_14_e.pdf.

The regiment was stationed in various locations in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.  The two main garrison locations in New Brunswick were Fredericton and Saint John.  The 15th was involved in the Fenian Raid of 1866.  You can find out more about their role in Turning Back the Fenians: New Brunswick’s Last Colonial Campaign (Robert L. Dallison. Goose Lane Publications, 2006).  This book is available from Westminster Books on King Street in Fredericton, just a couple of blocks from the York-Sunbury Museum.  The regiment left for Bermuda on 21 April 1868.

While you are in Fredericton, I would highly recommend you tour the Historic Garrison District where the 15th was stationed.  Besides the Guard House, a visit to the York-Sunbury Museum would give you a better sense of garrison life in Fredericton.  If you have time, I would suggest a visit to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick that is located on the campus of the University of Fredericton.  They currently have an exhibit on Juliana Horatia Ewing, who lived in Fredericton in the late 1860s.  There are period photos of Fredericton and copies of her drawings. Her husband, Alexander Ewing, was the Commissariat officer here. The archives also have files related to the regiments that were here and, if time allows, you might wish to have a look at the file for the 15th.  Again, depending on time, you might wish to travel to Saint John where the regiment was also stationed. A visit to the Carleton Martello Tower might be of interest to you. It has some information on the military history of Saint John. The 15th had a small detachment stationed there in the 1860s. 

As a historian and collector, I would be most interested in seeing your ancestor’s medal and papers.  It would be interesting to see if he was also entitled to the Canada General Service Medal that was issued for the Fenian Raids. Many soldiers, who qualified for it, did not receive it as it was issued in 1899 and only to those who were still alive. 

I hope that this information will help you to plan your trip to Fredericton. I am looking forward to meeting you. 

All the best, Gary 

… August 3, 2010 continued …

Dear Ruth and Gary,

Thanks so much for your speedy and helpful responses.   …

I’m just working through the various emails from Gary before replying properly, so this is just to say to both of you how grateful we all are for your generous help – and interest. John White was just a private in the 15th Regiment of Foot, nobody special (except to us) and it’s amazing to encounter such a warm and enthusiastic response.

More soon, once I’ve digested all the info sent, Katy

… August 3, 2010 continued …

Hello Gary and Ruth,

Just to say John White was certainly alive in 1899. He died on 29th Jan 1914 of chronic Bright’s disease and gangrene of the legs. Not a pretty way to go but at least he missed seeing his grandsons go to Flanders.

I have his full posting details from the medical records in his discharge documents, showing location and date of arrival:-

28 Apr 1867 Aldeny (Alderney?)

16 June 1860 Ireland

24 Mar 1862 Saint John, New Brunswick

6 June 1862 Fredericton, New Brunswick

28 Apr 1868 Bermuda

28 Dec 1870 Birr [where??]

26 July 1871 Curragh Camp

21 Mar 1872 Dublin

28 Sep 1872 Cork

22 Sep 1873 Guernsey

1 Jul 1876 Sheffield

3 Jul 1777 Preston

7 Oct 1778 Mullingar

21 Feb 1779 Tipperary

So he was definitely in Canada at the time of the Fenian Raid in 1866. Maybe the records for the 15th regiment at the archives may shed some light. This is fascinating!

More later – I have to go out now 😦 Katy
