On Sunday 22 May 2005, former Summerlea member Heather (Maxwell) Fedele, husband Derrick and sons Ryan and Michael visited their Lachine stomping grounds to celebrate the 75th birthday of Derrick’s mother Pauline. They took the opportunity to bring with them a Peace Candle for Summerlea from Northwood United Church in their current home of Surrey, BC.
 They arrived at Summerlea during coffee hour after the service and presented the candle to Summerlea minister Howard Clark. Howard took the opportunity to make a brief ceremony in the sanctuary, with Heather’s parents Frank and Judy Maxwell of Wolfville, N.S., also former Summerlea members, looking on. The Candle will be presented to the Summerlea congregation officially next Sunday.
 Following are a few snapshots, which are pickable to see a larger version.

Source: Memories from the Late Sixties: Frank Maxwell and Daughter Heather, October 2002.
Frank and Judy Maxwell and offspring Heather, David and Jim, lived in Lachine and attended Summerlea from 1965 to 1970 and again from 1975-1977. During their first stay, Frank was Sunday School Superintendant from 1968 to 1970. Frank offers some memories from his Wolfeville, NS retirement location, with help from Heather, who now lives in Vancouver.
 My recollections of Summerlea’s Sunday School are very few, which is surprising [at least...to me (o_o) ]. I’ll try to re-activate some with a phone call to Heather this evening. Her memory of our times in Lachine is usually in diary-like detail, so I’m hopeful...
 I can remember the Sunday morning assemblies in the large room with the stage (Acadia Hall). Eleanor [Warren] Fletcher was our pianist. Her father was Herb Warren, the former airline pilot, who still retained his bright "pilots’ eyes". Her father-in-law was Pat Fletcher, the last Canadian professional golfer to win the Cdn. Open...sometime in the 1930’s.
 Obviously the S.S. pianist made a strong impression on me! However, I do I remember that Huntly Bourne was the superintendent of the Jr. Dept. [and hit a massive home run with one of my pitches in a softball game at a church picnic].
 Cec King taught in the S.S., but I remember his being in the church choir when we returned to Summerlea in 1975-77.
 I recall a debate that I "moderated" between two or three S.S. teachers and our youth group ? It had a huge turn-out, and was an absolute disaster - at least as far as the adult debaters were concerned. The representatives of the youth group really "beat up" on us! Ed Jamieson was one of the adult debaters, and went home "feeling as if someone had hit him over the head with a baseball bat ". Ed was someone whom I liked and respected a great deal: very distinguished looking, with classy half-glasses. (Ed. Note: Ed Jamieson and Huntly Bourne also started the country store in the bazaar around that time.)
 The youth group leader was Bob Bennett, the son of Dick, a really nice guy who died in the late 1970’s. Dick taught in the S.S. as well. Bob was a super guy - very bright and personable, and I still picture them both with high regard.
 I do recall the large mesh cross that Ester Anderson mentioned, with the children coming down the church’s centre isle with their flowers for it. Could this have been part of our Easter services...? (Ed. Note: Nancy and Huntly Bourne also recall a large mesh cross. There is some confusion as to whether it was used at Easter, Mother’s Day or Flower Sunday.)
 I had a great phone conversation with Tom Miles while we were visiting Heather in November. Tom is the interim minister at Duncan and they enjoy their grandparenting opportunities.

Memories from Heather Maxwell, via Frank
S.S. teachers: Bernice Gowdy [and one of her daughters, Meg]. (By the way, I (Frank) used to see Jim Gowdy in Toronto, where he was the corporate secretary for Sun Life.)
Muriel McWilliams [her son Foster is part of Heather’s Vancouver network],
Dorothy Lowe, Hunt Bourne, Don Black [he also was a scout leader], and Lois Steckley.
Other family names from Summerlea: Mary Moreland [remember her younger brother, Peter : the happy-go-lucky imp ?], bruce Chown, Ann Park, Ron MacKay and his son bruce, Karen Saliewitz, the Trites [Heather continues to stay in touch with Sue], the Kiersteads, and the Edwards.
 Our favourite caretaker was Mr. Gillass, and we can remember how pleased he was with the S.S.’s Christmas gift one year. Judy and I once visited with him and his wife, at his home.

Heather also remembers helping me post the S.S. offering for each pupil, in my "big ledger", before turning the proceeds over to Ron MacKay.

Hi everybody,
First off, we’d like to say that your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you.
Although we have already reserved our stay at a Riviera Maya resort, we thought a honeymoon “excursion/activity” registry would provide our guests an opportunity help us make our perfect honeymoon come true. It is because of the lifetime of memories we will gain from this trip that we decided to include a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years to come. After all, the memories and photos from swimming with whale sharks or climbing ancient ruins will last longer than that blender or towel rack from Target (Although Ali may tell you to go with the towel rack if it gets her out of swimming with whale sharks).
We’ll do our best to document our experience via photo and include it in your much-deserved “thank you” note.
Thanks again and we can’t wait to see you at the wedding (or earlier!).
Love,
Seth & Ali

Article n. 310 by Ronald J. Jack (Public Historian and Web-publisher)

 In the summer of 1954, Sonia Black and David Grant were married in an obscure little church in West Saint John. She was 28 and he was 29. On the provincial registration document, beside "Occupation", each of them entered "Missionary". They had signed up for language courses and were preparing to devote their lives to mission work in the Belgian Congo. What they got themselves into, and who got them out, make for an interesting story. It is history worth preserving.
 [...]
 The pair of star-crossed missionaries were Saint Johners, through and through. Sonia Black was a Valley-girl, having lived at 262 City Road, almost in the shadow of the General Public Hospital. In fact after graduating from Saint John High School she enrolled in the Nursing School at the General, and was Class Valedictorian in 1947. She received her theological training at the Prairie Bible Institute at Three Hills, Alberta., a western institution with links to many churches in the Maritimes. Her Dad had been a gunner in one of the Siege Batteries in WW1 and returned to work with the C.P.R. Her mother had been office staff with T.S. Simms in Fairville.
 David Grant hailed from Red Head, just east of the city. He was a graduate of the Vocational High School on Douglas Avenue, and the practical knowledge he acquired there served him well in Africa where he built a seminary and a school. After graduation he took theological training with the Atlantic Bible Institute at Hampton Station, N.B. After falling for Sonia he proposed twice. The second proposal was that they devote their married lives to mission work, and their application was accepted by the Unevangelized Field Mission. The U.F.M. was a Christian umbrella group utilizing volunteers from multiple denominations and countries.
 Over the years tens of thousands of Canadians have washed up in some of the world’s danger zones, got in trouble, and had to be rescued. There is drama in bad luck, certainly, but precious little heroism. With Sonia and David Grant we have a different story. They were forced out of Congo by revolutionary blood letting, but could not sit on their hands in Canada while their students, patients an friends were under threat. After a period of recuperation in Saint John, consultation with family, and no doubt plenty of prayers, they went back in. They passed the test of character and they do qualify as Canadian heroes.

Akstin (MCSN: 0-9480), United States Marine Corps Reserve, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Commanding Officer of Company K, Third Battalion, Third Marines, THIRD Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Guam, Marianas Islands, 23 July 1944. Skillfully and swiftly launching a surprise attack on a commanding ridge, Captain Akstin seized the objective with a minimum loss to his rifle company and, despite heavy hostile machine gun fire, organized defenses against an impending counterattack. When an enemy machine gun emplacement opened fire on his company, causing six casualties and threatening his position, he courageously led an attack which accounted for thirteen Japanese and silenced the enemy guns. Receiving a serious wound in the head, he refused to be evacuated until the ridge was secured and the defenses firmly established. His leadership, perseverance and gallant devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

In 1849 he moved to Illinois, and in 1853 he went across the plains to California. Two years later he returned and took a course in medicine at Rush College. In 1859 he entered the law office of Lincoln & Herndon. at Springfield, Ill. After being admitted to the bar he traveled a year for a fire insurance company, and then came to Ann Arbor and graduated in the law class of 1863. The disturbed condition of the times again turned him to medicine, and after taking another course in medicine at St. Louis he again took up its practice.

This fine quilt was purchased at the estate auction of Arthur and Evelyn Black, Cambridge-Narrows, New Brunswick, 10 June 2010. On first glance it looks like an ordinary nine patch pattern, however on closer examination it is a pattern called “Contrary Wife” as if to demonstrate the contrariness, every now and then one of the triangular pieces of the pattern goes in a different direction! The white blocks exhibit some of the finest quilting in the museum collection and the overall condition is very good, indicating this was a special piece. The quilt was purchased from the home of the late Arthur and Evelyn Black, Cambridge-Narrows. Given the style of pattern and the type and colour of materials used, we believe this quilt was made about 1940 and could possibly be a trousseau quilt made by or for Evelyn when she married Arthur Camp Black (18 February 1920-29 January 2009), the son of Frank and Susie Camp Black, 18 December 1940. Evelyn Vera Pugsley (6 February 1925-30 November 2004) was born in Cambridge, the daughter of Frederick Gilbert Pugsley and Bessie Edna Reece.

FRITZ E. SKINNER, M. D.
 Dr. Fritz E. Skinner, who is successfully engaged in the practice of medicine in Joplin, is among the more recent arrivals, but already his skill and professional knowledge have won, recognition in a liberal and constantly growing patronage. He is a native of Illinois, his birth having occurred near Jacksonville, Morgan county. The Skinner family were from New Brunswick, and the father of our subject, Dr. B. H. Skinner, was born in Queens, New Brunswick. He became the best known and most prominent physician of Jacksonville, where he located about 1880, and where for a number of years he enjoyed a very extensive and profitable patronage. He married Miss Eliza Stewart, a daughter of Dr. H. M. Stewart, who represented an old Kentucky family. Not only the maternal grandfather and the father of our subject were physicians, but four of his uncles also engaged in the practice of medicine. Perhaps an inherited tendency had something to do with the boy’s choice of a profession, but even so, an inherited tendency is only a latent power which must feel the awakening touch of effort to be of any avail in the active affairs of life. He pursued his early education in the public schools of his native city and afterward entered Illinois College, of Jacksonville, where his literary course was completed. Resolving to make the practice of medicine his life work, his reading was for a time pursued under the direction of his father and later he attended the Marion Sims College, of St. Louis, where he was graduated. with the class of 1892. He then returned to Jacksonville, where he engaged in practice and for a time was also a medical practitioner of St. Louis. In that city in 1898 he pursued a post-graduate course in the Barnes College, and then came to Joplin, where he has since made his home. His college training and practical experience well qualified him to take up his work here, and he soon demonstrated his ability to successfully cope with the intricate problems concerning disease and health. He served as city physician here for one year, was vice-president of the County Medical Society, in which he still retains membership, and is a member of the Academy of Medicine of Joplin.
 In May, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Skinner and Miss Ella B. Burge, of that city, a most estimable lady, whose hospitable home is a favorite resort with the many friends she has made since coming to Joplin. In his political views the Doctor is a Republican and is deeply interested in the growth and success of the party, although he takes no part in its work, owing to the demands of his profession upon his time and attention. Socially he is a member of Mineral Lodge, No. 330, I. 0. 0. F., of Joplin; also a medical examiner of the Modern Woodmen of America, of which he is an active member. In religious faith he is a Presbyterian. He is always courteous, kindly and affable, and those who know him personally have for him warm regard.

What’s in a Name?
 Atlantic Baptist University has a rich heritage of family connections. Over the years, many generations of families have been represented on the UBBTS/ABC/ABU campus. Currently there is one family in particular wich stands out.
 Meet the Cougle family who, together represent each possible year of attendance at ABU. Brianne, is in her fourth year of the psychology program, while her younger brother, Stuart, is a third year biology major. Their cousin, Hilary, is a seconde year history major, and Maradeth the youngest family member at ABU, is in here first year of the biology program.
 How did this ordinary Christian family from the small town of Bristol, NB end up dominating ABU? It is a simple story of family connections.
 In fact it seems that this story begins over 30 years ago with a woman name Marsha (McIsaac ’73) Cougle who attended Atlantic Baptist College.
 “I had such a great experience at ABC that I really encouraged my kids to do the same. Because I talked so much about my days at ABC, my kids really did no think of other places,” said Marsha.
 All of Marsha’s encouragement appears to have paid off. With three of her children and one nice already attending ABU, it comes as no surprise to learn that her youngest son Caylen, who will be graduating from high school by the end of the school year, is also applying to ABU.
Does the family see anything spectacular about all of them attending ABU at the same time? It doesn’t seem so. Rather, it seems normal for this family, which has always been a close-knit family, to stick together. As Hilary said, “We lived on the same street most of our lives, and always attended the same schools. Why should university be any different?”
 The Cougle family, with their strong Christian foundation, and one alumnus who was willing to openly share her inspiring ABC experiences with her family members, is keeping ABU’s rich heritage of family connections alive.

Source: Marriage: The Cunningham Family of Antigonish reports the date of marriage as 2 June 1851. From the “Eastern Chronicle” of 27 March, 1851; Married: on Mar. 21 at Antigonish by Rev. Thomas Trotter, Francis S. Cunningham to Isabell Graham.

D.G. Widden, “History of The Town Of Antigonish”, the Casket, Aug 10, 1934 states:

He [Francis Simeon Cunningham] was a carpenter by trade and built a number of buildings in Antigonish. Until the late 60’s he resided at Antigonish Harbour, but bought the Hill property on the east side of Church Street and moved into town. He built Cunningham’s Hotel in Antigonish, in 1859 on the south side of Main Street, between Church and Court Streets, and was leased by John Day Cunningham, who had a small store on the ground floor, in the western end of the building, his wife managing the hotel until her death, when it passed into the hands of Rufus Hale who changed the name to Merrimac House. This house, locally known as “Frank’s Villa”, was built around 1869. The 2-storey structure, a simplified example of Second Empire architecture, features a pitched mansard roof (allowing full headroom in the top floor) and a central chimney. The paired doors with glass are also an identifying feature of Second Empire; at this time large-pane glazing in the door itself supplanted the traditional classical sidelights. The 2-bay facade has a plain front porch and 2/2 windows, some of which are stained glass. The coloured glass glazing, especially the single pane surrounded by smaller panes, are probably later Queen Anne-style additions. There are dormers on all sides of the house as well as bay windows which mimic the projecting pavillions characteristic of Second Empire. The house is covered in clapboard siding. Apart from some basic elements, 105 Church Street has a lightness of form which sets it apart from the richly ornamented Second Empire; it is a simple, understated vernacular interpretation of this style.The builder and first owner of 105 Church Street was Francis S. Cunningham who purchased the 12-acre property for $1,780. He sold the lot in sections and later in 1897 sold the house and 5400 square feet to Alexander Thompson, a bookkeeper for $350. It is possible some of the decorative work in this house can be creditted to Ozias Leduc’s assistants who hired themselves out locally as painters when their commission work at St. Ninian’s Cathedral was completed in 1904. This house has maintained its architectural integrity for there have been few alterations over the years.

RICHARD N. GRAHAM.
 While it is certainly true that every man succeeds better for having acquired a knowledge of anything, the training given the person who aspires to become a lawyer is so rigid and thorough that he is generally prepared to enter almost any line and master it. There are a number of cases where men do so prepare themselves without really intending to enter the profession, but simply to gain the habit of handling their problems in an orderly and methodical manner, and to receive the benefits accruing from the expansion of their intellect which must come from such a course. Richard N. Graham is manager of the railways connected with the Pennsylvania-Ohio Electric Company, and it is a recognized fact that his skillful handling of the affairs of his office comes through his knowledge of the law, and its application to business.
 Richard N. Graham was born at Jackson, Ohio, on November 7, 1876, a son of Christopher and Nancy Jane (Dodge) Graham, both of whom are now deceased. Christopher Graham was a hardware merchant both at Jackson, and later at Joplin, Missouri, to which city the family moved when Richard N. Graham was still a lad.
 Growing up at Joplin, he attended its high school, and then entered the University of Arkansas in 1895 and took both the classical and legal courses, and was graduated therefrom in 1900 with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. In 1901 Mr. Graham was admitted to the Arkansas and Missouri bars, and that same year established himself in a general law practice with a Mr. Hurst, under the firm name of Hurst & Graham, which was later changed to Grayston & Graham. In 1908 Mr. Graham joined the legal department of the Stone & Webster electrical interests, first being at Dallas, Texas, for a short time, and then, in 1910, taking charge of the claim department of the Houston Electric Company, a property managed by Stone & Webster. He immediately was Transferred to an operating position and continued with the Houston Company in various capacities until 1916. In September of the latter year Mr. Graham came to Youngstown as assistant manager of railways connected with the Mahoning & Shenango Railways & Light Company, and in 1917 was made manager of that department, retaining the position with the Pennsylvania-Ohio Electric Company which succeeded the former corporation. Mr. Graham has had a varied experience and when he began practicing law at Joplin, Missouri, he was a member of the Missouri State Legislature, and recognized as one of the forceful young orators of his district.
 In 1901 Mr. Graham was united in marriage with Miss Robey B. Skinner of Jacksonville, Illinois, and they have five children, namely : Harold, Mildred, Helen, Ruth and Robey.

September 20, 1955: Richard N. Graham, chairman of the board of the Youngstown Railway Co., announces his retirement, the announcement coming exactly 39 years after he came to Youngstown as assistant manager of railways in charge of transportation from the Mahoning and Shenango Power and Light Co.

J. M. (Mac) Ferguson
Profile
 J. M. (Mac) Ferguson graduated from Saint John High School in 1949 after which he worked for Cox Hammett Accounting from where he earned his C.A. degree. Always active and engaging, Mac joined the Sea Cadets serving more than ten years and becoming a Chief Officer. In 1955, Mac married Phyllis Dykeman and together raised a family of 3 boys and one girl.
 Mac joined the Boys and Girls Club’s Board of Directors in 1972 and continues to serve on the Board to this day. Mac became the Club’s treasurer from 1977 through 1979. He served as First Vice-President 1981- 82 and became the Club President in 1982 and served for two terms. His tenure as Past President was 1984-1986.
 During his time on the Board of Directors, he has been chairperson of the Finance, Building, Transportation, Program, and Executive Committees. In 1974, the year of the Club fire, he played an instrumental role in the rebuilding campaign that gave us the Club we are in today. He also assisted in developing a transportation service in 1977, which necessitated the acquisition of 15 passenger vans totalling seven over the years and a 43 passenger bus in 1989.
 While Mr. Ferguson was serving on our Board of Directors, he was also a member of the Saint John Rotary Club, for which he has held various positions, including Vice-President and President. Mr. Ferguson was recognized for his outstanding contribution as a Rotarian with the awarding of the Paul Harris Fellowship, which is the highest recognition bestowed upon a Rotarian.
 Mac has been a very involved, dedicated and conscientious Board member who has been instrumental in major developments within the Saint John Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Ferguson is highly respected by his peers and by the staff and volunteers of the Club. After forty years of dedication, it is most fitting that the Saint John Boys and Girls Club induct Mr. J. M. (Mac) Ferguson in to the Order of the Master Builders, the 20th day of January 2012.
