Fonctionnaire, il entra dans l’Université et publia des ouvrages de littérature scolaire ; il fut député sous l’Empire et la Restauration. Journaliste, poète et auteur dramatique, son chef-d’œuvre est une comédie en vers, en trois actes, L’Avocat
 Il fut élu à l’Académie le 28 août 1817 en remplacement de Suard, et reçu par le duc de Lévis le 30 novembre suivant. Son élection fut très critiquée. Il fit partie de la commission du Dictionnaire. Il combattit la proposition Lacretelle, reçut Villemain et le comte de Sainte-Aulaire et vota contre Victor Hugo. Il avait été l’un des compagnons du « Déjeuner de la Fourchette ».
 Il est mort le 1er mars 1842.

---

 François Roger voit le jour à Langres (Haute Marne), le 17 avril 1776. Fils de Didier Roger, receveur des décimes du diocèse de Langres, et Marie Joly, il commence ses études au collège de sa ville natale et les termine à Paris. De retour à Langres, il se compromet en composant des chansons contre-révolutionnaires. On l’emprisonne avec sa famille sous la Terreur, puis on le remet en liberté, après 17 mois de détention.
 Il revient étudier le droit à Paris, sous la direction de son oncle, Joly, ex-avocat au parlement. Mais il délaisse bientôt la procédure pour s’adonner à la littérature. Il devient attaché au ministère de l’Intérieur et est destitué, le 22 juin 1798, pour avoir lu en séance publique à l’Athénée une traduction en vers d’un fragment des Annales de Tacite, qui s’applique trop directement aux événements du jour.
 Réintégré dans ses fonctions l’année suivante par la protection de Maret, il est successivement secrétaire de François de Nantes, chef de la correspondance et du contentieux à l’administration générale des droits réunis, conseiller général de la Haute-Marne. Il est choisi, le 18 février 1807, par le Sénat conservateur, comme député de son département au Corps législatif.
 Roger fait partie du comité de l’instruction publique et devient, le 22 novembre 1809, par la protection de Louis de Fontanes, inspecteur général comptable de l’université. Il est un des plus empressés à applaudir au retour des Bourbons. Il devient inspecteur général des études le 21 février 1815. Destitué aux Cent-Jours, pour de violents articles contre Napoléon publiés dans le Journal général, il doit se cacher.
 Rétabli dans ses anciennes fonctions au retour de Gand, il est appelé aux fonctions de secrétaire général des postes le 12 septembre 1815. Il entre à l’Académie Française par ordonnance royale du 28 août 1817, en remplacement de Suard. En 1832, Louis XVIII lui octroie des lettres de noblesse.
 Élu, le 25 février 1824, député du 2e arrondissement électoral de la Haute-Marne (Langres), il vote avec la majorité ministérielle, et échoue, au renouvellement du 27 novembre 1827, et aux élections générales du 23 juin 1830. Il rentre à la Chambre, le 20 juillet 1830, élu par le grand collège de la Corse, avec 20 voix (37 votants).
 Après les journées de juillet, il est destitué de ses fonctions de secrétaire général des postes et voit en outre son élection invalidée. Il se retire alors de la vie politique et se consacre à ses occupations littéraires. Roger collabore à la Biographie universelle. Il décède à Paris le 1er mars 1842. Il repose avec Henri-louis Roger (1809-1891), médecin, président de l’Académie de Médecine, président de l’association Générale des Médecins de France.

Frank Hagar Bigelow was a United States scientist. His mother took an interest in astronomy, and her involvement caught his interest. He was educated at the primary and high school in Concord, in the Boston Latin School, Harvard College (graduated 1873), and at the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and entered orders. For some years he was assistant astronomer in the Argentine National Observatory in Cordoba. This service (1873-76; 1881-83) was interrupted for his theological studies, and for the short time (1880-81) after entering orders he was a rector in Natick, Massachusetts. Later he was professor of mathematics in Racine College, Wisconsin, assistant in the National Almanac office in Washington, D.C., and in 1891 he became professor of meteorology in the United States Weather Bureau in Washington. He was also an assistant rector of St. John’s Church in Washington.
 His name is especially associated with an instrument for the photographic record of the transit of stars and with some novel studies by which the solar corona, the aurora, and terrestrial magnetism are shown to be associated. The theories met with a favorable reception in scientific circles. 

Frank Luther, third son of Daniel B. and Cynthia AI. (Hawes) Wesson, was killed in a railroad accident at Hartford, Vermont, February 5, 1887. He received his early education in the public schools, and was a fellow student with his brother, Walter H., at Williston. After his marriage he was for about three years a partner in the firm of Lovell, Adam & Wesson, printers and publishers, of New York and Montreal, with a printing plant at Rouse’s Point, New York, where Mr. Wesson was employed. About 1877 he returned to Springfield, and for the remainder of his life was assistant superintendent of the Smith & Wesson revolver factory. Like the other men of his family he devoted his time to his business, taking no part in politics, except to vote, and belonging to no societies.
He married Sarah Kurczine Lovell, of Montreal, Canada, daughter of John Lovell. of Montreal. Mr. Lovell was publisher of the Canadian Gazeteer, Lovell’s Geography, and other school books. The children of this marriage are: 1. Mabel, was born in New York; married John Murray, an English subject, now an instructor in English literature in Harvard University. 2. Harold, mentioned below. 3. Frank Herbert, see below. 4. Cynthia, Maria, a student at Brvn Mawr, class of 1909.

From Colin Brooks :
I have an ancestor named Charles Steele (b. May 12, 1821 d. 1890). He married Martha A Boyd (b.1821, d. 1910). She is the daughter of Robert Boyd and Mary Lund Town(e)s. All the children of Robert and Mary were born in Londonderry, NH.
Could my Charles tie into your Steele line? The Boyds are related to Rev. William Boyd who came first to America to survey New Hampshire for the Scotch-Irish group you mentioned. I actually am from two families on those ships. Boyd and McDuffee. Yours would make it three!! 

From The Bedford Animal Hospital — Jonathan S. Lewis Jr. founded the Bedford Animal Hospital in 1944. Dr. Lewis, a New Hampshire native, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1943. He returned to New Hampshire and practiced briefly in Peterborough before establishing his veterinary practice in Bedford. The original hospital was a small frame building on Bedford Center Road near the present day Water Center.
 Bedford was a rural community with mainly dirt roads in the 1940’s, with many dairy farms that made up the bulk of Dr. Lewis’s practice. The telephone operator lived not far from the animal hospital. If a phone call for Dr. Lewis went unanswered (34 was the clinic’s number), she would look for his car in the driveway. If he were away on a farm call, she would take a message and give it to him when he returned.
 In 1953, Dr. Lewis was called to duty in the Air Force. He returned in January 1955 and purchased the property on Old Bedford Road where he built the present hospital. During his absence, many of the dairy farms had ceased operation, and the focus of veterinary medicine was changing from farm animals to companion animals. The present hospital was built primarily for treatment of small animals.
 By 1972, much of the farmland in Bedford was undergoing residential development. Dr. Lewis hired Carl T. DePrima DVM as an associate veterinarian in June 1972 to help care for the influx of new pets in the community. The practice grew, as did the need for additional veterinarians. In 1983, Dr. Lewis hired William L. Sofield DVM, PhD. to join the staff. Dr. DePrima and Dr. Sofield, still the current owners, bought the Bedford Animal Hospital from Dr. Lewis in December 1983 when Dr. Lewis retired.
 The house adjacent to the hospital was built in the late 1700’s. It was originally known in Bedford as the Old Cabinet House because the owner David Atwood was a cabinetmaker. He also made the best ox yokes in the area, an important skill as most farm work was done with teams of oxen. The house was rebuilt in 1958 after a fire destroyed most of it.
 

From Swim Ontario Awards Banquet 2005.
Tom Pinckard started swimming at the age of 5 and continued to swim while living in Brazil, and later while in high school at Ridley College in St. Catherines. He went on to become the captain of the University of New Brunswick swimming and football teams and was honoured with the University’s award for Athletic Distinction. Tom’s athletic interests were multi-faceted, and he received honours not only in swimming, but also in soccer, football, and canoe/kayak. He still holds the CIAU football record for the longest kick (89 yards), and was drafted by the Montreal Alouettes. While at UNB, Tom coached the women’s swim team, with the honoraria received helping to pay his way through law school. In 1967 Tom paddled across Canada in the Voyageur Centennial Canoe Race from Alberta to Montreal.
 He graduated in law in 1969, was called to the Bar in 1971, and has been a practicing lawyer in Huntsville ever since. In 1976 Tom founded the Muskoka Aquatic Club in Bracebridge and was its volunteer Head Coach for 10 years while spearheading the construction of the Huntsville Centennial Pool, which opened in 1986. Volunteering has always been a substantial part of his very busy life, and it still is. A long list of positions of leadership include the following: Director - Ontario Swimming Coaches Association; Chair - Huronia Region; Director and Vice-President - Swim Ontario (CASA – Ontario Section); Chair (6 years)- Swimming Canada; volunteer CEO - Swimming Canada; Member - Canadian Olympic Committee; Vice-President - Commonwealth Games Association of Canada; President - Aquatic Federation of Canada; President - Aquatic Foundation of Canada; President - Swimming Canada Foundation; and the list goes on! Tom pursued other interests as well. He was the Mayor of the Township of Lake of Bays and Councilor for the District of Muskoka (both from 1994 through 2003); Chair - Huntsville Memorial Hospital; Director - Huntsville Chamber of Commerce, Chair - Huntsville Parks & Recreation Committee; and Trustee - Muskoka Board of Education. All organizations benefited greatly from Tom’s dedication and expertise and he has received a plethora of awards for his contributions to Canadian swimming, and sport in general. Among them are the Ontario Aquatic Hall of Fame - Award of Distinction, the Province of Ontario - Award of Distinction; Inductee (Builder) - Huntsville Sports Hall of Fame; Canada 125 Medal; Air Canada Volunteer Coach of the Year; Swimming Canada Volunteer Coach of the Year; and the Canadian Centennial Medal.
 Tom and his wife of 35 years, Dayle, reside in Dwight near Huntsville. They have two sons, Todd and Dan, as well as 2 daughters, Sarah and Emily. Swimming still runs in the family as Emily is a varsity swimmer at University of Ottawa and Tom trains as a Masters Swimmer. The Ontario Aquatic Hall of Fame was proud to induct Tom Pinckard as a Builder. The Ontario Aquatic Hall of Fame is pleased to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of so many, but knows there are many others deserving of the honour. 

From Tri-Scottsdale Foundation — I’m (Lewis Elliot) a 27 year old Professional Triathlete from Billings, Montana currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona. My father Bill, an avid marathoner, encouraged me to start running and cycling as a way to spend time together. I’ve competed for the US National Cycling Team for many years and discovered great success with the sport of triathlon.
I consider being a Professional Athlete a dream come true. I’m the middle of three boys, and I credit my brothers Porter and Blair for giving me my competitive spirit at a very young age.
 In 2006, I won the SOMA Half-Ironman with a bike course record and a personal best time of 3 hours and 58 minutes. The only past winners of this race (Chris McCormack, Chris Legh, and Tim Deboom) are among the most famous and successful triathletes ever to compete.
 2007 was a breakthrough year for me. In March, I finished third at Ironman California and in April I finished 8th at Ironman Arizona. I competed all over the U.S. and traveled to France where I represented the United States at the World Long Course Triathlon Championships. In October, I competed in the Ironman World Championships in Kona.
 In 2008, I hope to win Ironman Arizona as well as place in the top 5 at the Ironman Hawaii World Championships.
 The Tri-Scottsdale partnership with the Susan G. Komen breast cancer charity is a very important to me, as my mother passed away from breast cancer in 2003.

DR. H. M. STEWART was born in Bedford, Virginia, on the 22d of August, 1806. His parents, Thomas and Mary Stewart, were both natives of Virginia. His father emigrated to Madison, Kentucky, in 1811, and settled in the town of Richmond, where the remains of both parents still repose in the old graveyard of that place. His father was a carpenter by trade, which he followed many years. They were both members of the M. E. Church, converted under the preaching of Lorenzo Dow, and he was a local preacher, and followed preaching up to the time of his death. The subject of this sketch received his early education in Kentucky, and at the age of nineteen his father died, and he continued to work on the farm until he arrived at the age of twenty. He then began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Jonathan Stout, of Richmond, Kentucky, where he spent three years, when he went to New Orleans, stopping there one year, after which he returned to Kentucky, visiting a short time with the friends of his youth, and then located in Harrison, Indiana, where he continued the practice of his profession until 1837. From there he emigrated to Morgan, Illinois (now Scott County), settling where he now resides, near the town of Exeter, on section 35, which was his first purchase, and where he built and improved. A view of the house which he erected at that time may be seen elsewhere in this map. Here the Doctor began the practice of his profession, which he continues to this day, much against his inclination, but the people will not allow him to retire. He has always enjoyed a large practice, and what is remarkable, has never hung out a sign of any description. He was married in 1830, to Miss Liza A. Madden, a native of Kentucky, and daughter of John Madden, Esq. They were married in Harrison, Indiana, in 1831. Mrs. Stewart died that year. They had one child, Clayton M., who now resides at the old homestead. In 1835 the Doctor was again married, to Miss Caroline Madden, sister of his first wife. She died March 19, 1870. They had six children, five of whom are now living, all married with the exception of one, - Henry C., who is now in Colorado. The Doctor has raised six sons, three of whom are practicing physicians. His son Charles died at the age of twenty.
 Dr. Stewart has always taken a very active part in politics. Since the organization of the republican party he has been an active supporter of its principles, and a staunch friend of the Union during the late war. He was a great admirer of President Lincoln, supporting him in both campaigns. Two of his sons were in the army. He did all in his power to encourage enlistments, and gave liberally of his means to the families of those who volunteered, and also obeyed every call when his professional services were needed, gratuitously, in the families of the gallant boys in the field.
 Dr. Stewart’s eldest son, Clayton M., read medicine in the office of his father three years, attended lectures at the Missouri Medical College, at St. Louis, where he graduated, and returning home, began the practice with his father, which he continued two years. In 1860 and 1861 he attended lectures at the Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, where he graduated. The second son, J. Horace Stewart, upon the breaking out of the rebellion, volunteered in the 14th regiment Illinois volunteers as a private. He was promoted to quartermaster of the regiment, which position he held until the regiment was mustered out of the service at the close of the war, when he returned home. In the fall of 1868 he was elected to the office of sheriff of Scott county by the republican party. His third son resides with his father-in-law at or near Riggston. His daughter Eliza Ann is the wife of Dr. B. H. Skinner, who resides at Merit, Scott, Illinois. John H., who now resides in Exeter, graduated at Rush Medical College, Chicago. The Doctor has one of the finest grain stock, and fruit farms in the, consisting of five hundred and fifty acres of land. A view of his residence appears elsewhere in this Map.

He is active and popular among the Lawrence Republicans. In 1890 he was in the Common Council, in 1891 and 1893 he was member of the Board of Aldermen, and since 1893 he has been serving on the Water Board, of which at present he is the President.

From Fifty Years with the Baptist Ministers and Churches of the Maritime Provinces (by. Rev. I. E. Bill), p. 403:

   Joseph C. SKINNER was born at Parrsboro, N.S., in the year 1800, and was early instructed by his godly mother, the late Mrs. Sarah Skinner, in the principles and obligations of the Christian faith. When about twenty years of age he professed religion, and was baptized by the late Edward Manning. He was then regarded as a young man of more than ordinary promise. He removed to New Brunswick in 1825, and feeling a deep interest in the progress of education, he devoted several years of his life to the instruction of the young. In 1836 he was ordained to the pastorate of what was then designated the First Wickham Church. He faithfully fulfilled the duties of his office for many years; and although his pastoral connection nominally ceased some time prior to his death, yet virtually he continued to preside over these people and to watch for their souls as one that must give an account, until removed to join the Church triumphant in the heaves. He departed this life in the sixty-first year of his age, March 23, 1860, in full assurance of the faith he had so long proclaimed as the only ground of the sinner’s hope. He was interred in the churchyard surronding the house in which he was ordained, in the presence of a large concourse of people. Rev. David Crandall preached his funeral sermon from 2 Timothy, 4: 7, 8; “I have fought the good fight”, etc.
 Our departed Brother Skinner stood pre-eminent among his brethren as wise in counsel, evangelical in doctrine, an spotless in life. It was his happiness to witness several interesting revivals of religion during his pastorate, and to induct many valuable members in to the fellowship of the Church; and though his labours on earth have terminated, yet the instructions which he gave, his meek and pure example, and the composure and confidence with which he passed through the valley of death, will continue to give forth utterances distinct and solemn, calling upon the people of Cambridge to “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end ot that man in peace.”

“The Early Baptist of Cambridge Parish, Queens, New Brunswick”, by Ruby Cusack

   With Christmas being only four days away, Cliff and I were getting more and more excited by the hour. Mum had made the fruit cakes well in advance. The shelves in the back pantry were lined with tin containers filled with all sorts of cakes, squares, cookies and pies. I was so tempted to sneak in there for a feed of honey bars but I didn’t want to get in trouble at this time of the year.
 Gord had spent several hours searching the upper pasture for the perfectly shaped fir tree and now it was leaning against the wall in the livingroom. Dad and Gramp took on the task of nailing the board to the bottom, then turning it round and round to find the best side before anchoring it to the window casing with heavy twine. While they were doing this, the rest of us set to work with darn needles and heavy thread to string the coloured popcorn.
 In no time at all, the adults began to chat about the traditions of the Christmases of the past and the church services they had attended as youngsters, which led into a long discussion concerning the members of the families who gathered to worship in the communities where they grew up.
 In 1941, the Reverend Walter R. Greenwood felt that the Church’s traditions were the most valuable possession and should be carefully preserved. It was this thought that prompted his writing of “The Early Baptist of Cambridge Parish, Queens, New Brunswick”. And in so doing he provided information on the members of many families.
 Chapter one deals with the church at Jemseg. The first family being the Wades who migrated in the mid 1800’s to Ontario but was still represented in the community through relationship with Percy McLean.
 Among the names of the Charter member on the rolls of the Waterborough Church are,
– Elijah Estabrooks (Teaching Elder),
– Joseph Estabrooks (Deacon), Ebenezer Estabrooks and John Estabrooks. These are all sons of Sergeant Elijah Estabrooks from whom all the Estabrooks on the St. John River are descended.
– The Rev. Francis Pickle was sent by the Domestic Missionary Society to labor on Grand Lake. There were twelve baptized under his ministry at Cumberland Bay in February and March of 1827.
– David Chase, who was a brother of Rev. Skinner’s wife, pursued his ministry successfully for seven years until, as a young man of thirty-six died of tuberculosis. Three months later his wife Jane died of the same disease.
– William Springer, the Loyalist, who came from Wilmington, Delaware married Sarah Thurston,
– Margaret, the daughter of Squire John Robertson, was the wife of George Wilson and moved to Salmon River.
– John J. Camp was a grandson of Abiathar Camp, the Loyalist.
 The Birthday of the Mill Cove Church could be considered as being on the 26th of June 1825 for it was then that John Branscomb, Ann McLean, Ann Elsworth and Mary Ferris were baptized. John Branscomb was the son of Arthur Branscomb and married Mary Wiggins. Ann McLean married David McIntosh and lived in Mill Cove. Ann Elsworth was a daughter of William Elsworth. Her brother, Hanford, married Sarah Ferris, a daughter of George Ferris, the Loyalist. Mary Ferris was a daughter of John and Mary Ferris. The upper storey of their stone house was used to hold church services.
– William Sharp, Eliza Clark, Jeremiah Oakley, Lucy Gidney and Mrs. David Nevers were the first mentioned of Baptist people living at Lower Jemseg and vicinity as found in the records of Canning Baptist Church during the years 1830-1833.

– In 1836 Joseph C. Skinner, who had come to the community as a teacher in 1833, became the first resident pastor of the church at MacDonald’s Corner. His ministry here lasted until his death in 1860. Elder Skinner was not a robust man but he and his wife were persons of superior mentality. Of their family, five sons became medical doctors in the United States. One of the daughters, Betsy Ann, married Amos Straight and another daughter married Robert Coes.
 Biographical information is provided on the forty-one names that were listed on the roll in 1840. One of the clerks and later made a deacon in 1843, at the MacDonald’s Corner Church was Anthony Flower, who was born in 1792 at Old Gravel Lane, Radclife Highway, London, England. As a young boy he attended the Royal Academy School and was a roommate with Joseph William Turner who became one of the leading landscapes painters of all times. His wife, Mary, was the daughter of James Green. I might add, that today, Anthony Flower is a well known New Brunswick artist. His home has been moved to the village of Cambridge-Narrows. It will be restored to appear as it did during Flower’s life and will be opened in 2005 as a House Museum, dedicated to the life and times of Anthony Flower.
– Rebecca Carpenter, the daughter of Ephraim and Ann Carpenter, married Richard Ryder and lived her married life in Saint John.
 In the evening of December 5th, 1839, a meeting was held at Mr. James Hendry’s to organize a church to be called the second Baptist Church of Wickham. This entry was found in the church records concerning the beginnings of organized church life at Lower Cambridge. The author states that in 1825, thirteen people met in Alexander B. MacDonald’s barn and were duly constituted into the First Baptist Church in Wickham.
 A Baptist Church was organized at Cambridge in the Meeting House near Mr. Amos S. Corey’s on November 5th, 1855... in all 21 members coming into the church fellowship as a distinct church. In 1856 twenty-eight were added to the church. Surnames of the members of this church include, Corey, Hetherington, Cottle, Wilson, Hughes, Belyea, Dykeman, Blizard, Akerley, Robertson, Black, White, Chase, Little, Wood, Straight, Todd, and Pierce. Here again, a review is given of the families.

Greenwood, a 1941, eighty page publication provides a wealth of genealogical information concerning the families who attended the churches in the area. The book is available at the Fredericton Library and the Legislative Library and possibly at other research institutions within New Brunswick.

December and May Wedding Attracts Throng of 2,000
ATHOL, Mass., July 12 — (AP) – While a crowd of 2,000 sought a glimpse of a wedding ceremony held at night because the bridal party couldn’t take time off from their farm chores for a day service, Herberd David Boutall, 63-year-old widower, tonight married his 16-year-old sweetheart, Flora Evelyn Anna May.
 The church ceremony was witnessed by 100 persons, including a number of standees in rear pews, and several policemen, who kept outsiders from opening windows and peering in. A wedding reception was held at Boutall’s farm house. Boutall, busy with 200 hens, is not planning a wedding trip in the near future.

Hot Weather Item!, by Benezer Bay.
 An Athol, Massachusetts, dispatch of Thursday last told of the proposed marriage of a 63-year-old widower and a 16-year-old girl of that burg. One newspaper carried a picture of the elederly Romeo lifting his youthful bride-to-be, just to show his retained strength.
 “The only ones in the neighborhood who object to the marriage,” he is reported as saying, “are a couple of old maids who think I should marry someone nearer my own age.” “My answer to them,” continued the prospective groom, “is that when I buy a piano, I don’t want an antique, I want one that plays.”
 Boutall, as is said to be his name, should be careful about making assertions about purchasing antiques. His young bride might awaken some fine morning to realize that she has done just that.

Bridegroom of 64 Who Wed Girl 16 Confounds Critics
ATHOL, Mass., Jull 11 – (AP) – Herbert D. Boutall, the 64-year-old Athol chicken farmer who took a 16-year-old wife juste a year ago, looked back with pleasure today on a “happy year” and laughed at the critics who predicted the May-December romance would go on the rocks.
 His pretty, brunette bride, Flora Evelyn Anna, who turned 17 on July 1, agreed and chuckled as Boutall praised her ability as a cook, a thrifty manager and a maker of “wonderful home brew”.
 Boutall, who runs a small egg route, recalled with a grin the “crank letter writers” who told him after the marriage to “leave the chickens alone and take care of the hens”. “The happy year we have had,” and he smiled at his wife, attired in flowered shorts and jacket, “simply proves that we meant marriage in every sense of the word whe we applied for a license a year ago. We knew then that it wasn’t fascination on the part of one and infatuation on the part of the other.”

Boutall will not return to England
Athol Man, 68, Who Wed Girl, 20, Gets Probation for Non-Support
ATHOL, Mass., April 13 – AP – Herbert D. Boutall, 68 who announced on Saturday that his marriage to the former Ann Evelyn May, 20, was on the rocks after five years, will not go to his native England as he had planned.
He was under two years probation today after being convicted of non-support of two children, for whos keep he was ordered to pay $12 a week.
 The May-December romance began when Ann left school to become Boutall’s housekeeper two years after his first wife died. Two children were born to them, Barbara Ann 3, and David, 2. Mrs. Boutall and the children live here with her mother while Boutall works and lives in nearby Orange. On Saturday he said he soon would return to his native England to take a war job.

From the blog My Father’s posts dedicated to Ebenezer Ray :
A Piano Lesson ?
 Before there was Rupert Murdoch and Wendi, his pie-spiking wife; before the celebrity sphere was all a twitter about 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison marrying a reportedly 16-year-old Courtney Stodden, there was Herbert David Boutall, 63, and his 16-year-old bride, Ann
 Dubbed a “hot weather item,” in my father’s column on July 16, 1938, the item wasn’t about the temperatures at all. It was about a May-December romance that made headlines across the nation.
 “Both of the characters in this February-December drama are white, but what of it?” my father wrote. “One newspaper carried a picture of the elderly Romeo lifting his youthful bride-to-be, just to show his retained strength.“
 Boutall, a widower from Athol, Mass. is quoted as saying: “The only ones in the neighborhood who object to the marriage are a couple of old maids who think I should marry someone nearer my own age. My answer to them is that when I buy a piano I don’t want an antique. I want one that plays.”
 “Boutall should be careful about making assertions about purchasing antiques,” Ebenezer wrote. “His young bride might awaken some fine morning to realize that she has done just that.”
 In hindsight, Ebenezer might have taken his own advice about making assertions. Ten years later, he would end up in his own May-December romance. My mother, certainly no child, was only 22 years my father’s junior, which doesn’t come close to the Boutalls’ 47-year age difference. Still, it’s a reminder that you never know when your own words will come back to bite you, especially when you are talking about “old” people.
 I followed the Boutall marriage in the archives of the Boston Globe. More than 5000 spectators lined the streets for the wedding on July 11, 1938. The church only seated 120. In August, a subsequent Globe article intimated that the couple was thinking of selling their New England farm and moving to England, where Herbert was from. A year later, they were still in Athol, according to the Globe headline: “Farmer, 64, wife 17, will mark first year of marital bliss today.”
 Then in May 1940, the Globe announced that the “May–December couple proud parents of a girl.” They had a son the next June, but, alas, on April 10, 1943, the Globe announced, “Gap of 47 years too much for Athol pair, so they’ve separated.”
 The paper quoted Herbert as saying, “If she wants a younger man she can have one.” According to that Globe article, Herbert was headed to England to work in a war plant. His wife and children moved back in with her parents.
 Perhaps she got a new piano. 

From New Brunswick Author Portal:
Yvonne Wilson — Born Cougle in Saint John, when not quite four learned that HERE in not the only place. Infant imagination burst free; feet followed.
 Graduated from McAdam High, then Dalhousie University but with no healing of the itchy feet. Became a science teacher (B. Ed., University of New Brunswick) but at Campellton was pressed into teaching “composition”- anybody can teach English! Loved it. Taught English in Val-d’Or (Quebec), Montreal, Vancouver, New Zealand, Western Australia. Finished teaching career as first Instructor in the Writing Lab at University of New Brunswick, Saint John.
 Meanwhile, added the name Wilson, edited scientific papers, brought up two daughters, and began to write fiction. Became a book editor with DreamCatcher Publishing in Saint John, then with Trinity Enterprise (specialists in e-Books)
 Ten novels published and one book of non-fiction (about writing) with Allison Mitcham. Novels include the humorous Trinity Romances by “Briann Stuart.” And I think my masterpiece is coming up.

How has New Brunswick influenced your work?
 When you drive over the Petersville hill and see fog ahead, you are coming home. When you feel the plane begin to descend, you smile; you are coming home. When you wake on the train and see fresh snow on the spruce trees that are sliding by, you are coming home.
 I have never seen a bird I didn’t remember or a field of wild flowers under a summer sun; and every one of them stands in comparison with gulls in fog, black flies in dandelions, or the tiny ants in a bouquet of daisies. New Brunswick is home, anchor, standard of reference, behind every inspiration.

What is your favourite New Brunswick book, and why?
 My favourite New Brunswick Book is Funny Fables of Fundy, a book of poems for children by Grace Helen Mowat (1875 -1964). I lost the copy I had as a child and nobody rejoiced more mightily than I when it was reprinted some years ago. Who could have ever forgotten the epitaph? Jersey Lily. Paris Green / Jersey Lily no more seen.

What do you consider to be the highlight of your career so far?
 Cyril Connelly has said “the true function of the writer is to produce a masterpiece and no other task is of any consequence…” (The Unquiet Grave) Experiencing the flow of a story as it writes itself on the page is life-enhancing. Feeling that another book is insisting it be written is life-sustaining – a “Rocky Mountain High”. Best of all is the promise that the masterpiece is yet to be. A successful launch is pleasant; compliments readers whose opinion one respects make the hours on the job worthwhile: a royalty cheque is good; but it’s the writing that counts. I have been lucky. As a book editor, I know that most manuscripts are returned to sender. But I think I would have written my books if not one of them had ever been published. If a story is in you, you have to let it out.
