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.

MONUMENT INSCRIPTION: “A good name is better than riches.” Inscribed also is a club crest : a triangle with the words Love, Purity, Fidelity, written one on each side of the triangle & a Star of David inscribed at the centre.

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.

Il était à la formation de la brigade d’artillerie de marine passé au 1er Régiment à Lorient. Il passa avec succès le concours de Versailles et fut nommé sous-lieutenant en 1901, lieutenant en second en 1903, lieutenant en premier en 1906, capitaine le 24 août 1909. Entre temps, il avait fait de nombreuses colonies. Il était à la Direction d’Artillerie de Rochefort quand la guerre éclata en 1914 et se distingua lors de l’explosion d’un poudrière. Envoyé à plusieurs reprises sur le front, il fit la guerre avec le corps colonial. En 1919, il prenait sa retraite avec la Croix de la Légion d’honneur, et entrait en qualité de chef de service à la maison Marcesche où il resta de nombreuses années. Il devait par la suite prendre la direction d’une entreprise industrielle où il fit preuve de réelles qualités d’organisateur. Le commerce lorientais lui avait marqué l’an dernier, sa confiance, en l’élisant juge au Tribunal de Commerce.

 Alice Jacklet has been an important professional in the Department of Biological Sciences for nearly three decades. After serving as research technician in cell biology and research assistant in developmental neurobiology for 11 years, she was appointed to her current position as Instructional Support Specialist.
 Here she coordinates the laboratories for the General Biology program, keeping well organized a cadre of 500 students and 15 graduate teaching assistants. She coordinates all labs and the lectures, places orders for supplies, monitors inventory, supervises the teaching assistants, designs and preps the labs, writes and illustrates the lab exercises, and generally, say colleagues, keeps the entire operation running smoothly — a far cry from the situation she faced when first taking over the job. Her goal of providing an atmosphere that can inspire students to seek the excitement of discovery and the pleasure of solving a problem is realized time and again.
 After more than 25 years she is now prized, not only in the Department of Biological Sciences, but also across the entire campus for her extraordinary energy and determination, excellent organizational skills, and unselfish commitment to students and this institution.
 In addition Jacklet has provided to the external community a stellar array of extra- curricular services. This dedication includes service on seven departmental committees, 22 University-wide committees; service to ten student-related organizations, events, committees, and scholastic endeavors; and workshop presentations for nine classes at five Capital Region elementary schools in five different communities.
 Besides her outstanding work in teaching and mentoring students, she has contributed significantly professionally, publishing four textbooks and laboratory manuals, authoring or co-authoring five scientific articles, and authoring ten reviews of major works in the field of biology.

Alice received her B.A. in Biology from Middlebury College and her M.S. from the University of Oregon in Eugene. She is the overall coordinator of as team-taught Genereal Biology course, specifically teaching and supervising the laboratory sections. Her research interests include mammalian systematics and behavior. (Source : An Analysis of Bone/Muscle Movement. Alice C. Jacklet. 1994).

[p. 156]
 C’est en l’année 1771 que Lenot nous apparaît pour la première fois, à l’occasion de la célébration de son mariage en cette paroisse. De fait, suivant l’acte officiel, « le 31e jour de may, après les trois publications ordonnées, faites à notre messe paroissiale... des personnes de maître, Paschal Jean Lenot, architecte, fils de feu maître Jean Lenot, marchand limonadier à Paris, et de Marie-Thérèse Le Beau, ses père et mère, d’une part, et demoiselle Anne-Thérèse Herkenne, fille majeure des défunts Jean-Ferdinand Herkenne, greffier du Mont de Pieté à Liège, et de demoiselle Marguerite Labotte, aussi ses père et mère d’autre part, nous curé soussigné avons donné la bénédiction nuptiale au dit Lenot... en présence de monseigneur le marquis de Voyer, chargé de procuration, de don Deschamp bénédictin, de Madame Rullecourt, du sieur Jean-Baptiste Régnier, etc. ».
 Après la mort de son premier mari, Marie-Thérèse Le Beau avait donné sa main à « Edme-Claude Richard, marchand limonadier à Paris, au coin des rues Saint-Martin et Aubry Le Boucher, paroisse Saint-Jacques de la Boucherie ». Le 8 mai, par devant notaire, elle donnait son consentement pour le mariage de son fils. Le marquis d’Argenson acceptait de la représenter à la cérémonie et accordait ainsi un témoignage de sa haute estime pour Jean Lenot, et la présente célébration du mariage aux Ormes en est une preuve non moins évidente.
 En compulsant les registres « baptistaires », nous y voyons que, le 19 septembre 1771, « est né à.Paris monsieur le comte d’Argenson, fils de M. le marquis de Voyer » ; et que Lenot fut parrain, aux Ormes, le onze décembre de la même année. Mais il y a plus, et un fils de Lenot fut présenté sur les fonts : « Le 28 octobre 1772, baptême de Jean-René-Paschal, fils de M. Paschal-Jean Lenot architecte, et de Anne-Thérèse Herkenne, son épouse ; parrain haut et puissant seigneur monseigneur Marc-René de Voyer de Paulmy, marquis d’Argenson, lieutenant général des armées du roy, etc., marraine haute et puissante dame madame Marie-Josèphe-Félicité-Constance de Mailly d’Aucourt son épouse », qui signe « Mailly de Voyer».
 Plus tard, le 1er mai 1774, Lenot remplit la fonction de parrain avec sa femme ; puis celle-ci fut marraine avec un officier des haras, selon cet acte : « L’an 1778, le 23 mars, a été baptisé par moy vicaire soussigné Anne-Thérèze née du même jour de Louis Neveu, domestique de M. le marquis de Voyer, et de Marie Brandon son épouse: le, parrain a été M. Grandemaison, inspecteur des haras de Touraine et d’Anjou, et marraine dame Anne-Thérèse Herkenne, femme de Monsieur Lenot, architecte de Monsieur le Marquis de Voyer. (signé) : Grandmaison, Anne-Thérèse Herkenne Lenot, André, vicaire des Ormes. »
 D’après un contrat relatif à l’abbaye de Marmoutiers, Lenot était encore aux Ormes en 1782, époque à laquelle il dressait « le devis concernant le grand escalier du couvent », qui fut « fait par Lenot architecte, résidant aux Ormes en Poitou ». Une note, de dom Abrassart nous appprend que cet escalier, réputé dans la France entière, « a été fait sur les dessins de M. Pascal Lenot, architecte de Paris, et sous la conduite de M. Étienne Fournier, de Rhetel-Mazarin, appareilleur », choisis par le grand prieur Dom Quinquet.
 Nous verrons tout à l’heure comment Fournier dut être envoyé à Marmoutiers pour exécuter les plans de Lenot.

On lui délivra le certificat demandé ; mais, le 17 mai 1793, les employés du département le dénoncèrent comme ayant tenu des propos inciviques. « Dans un moment d’humeur, sur ce que l’on avait accordé la signature à un autre qu’à lui, il avait dit que dans quinze jours on verrait qui serait le maître. » Adrien Corbeau, renvoyé des bureaux, était prisonnier à l’Abbatiale depuis le 29 septembre.

 Joseph Le Bon, dans son arrêté de renvoi à l’accusateur public, trouva tout simple de leur adjoindre l’abbé de Saint-Eloy, « accusé d’avoir conservé, disséminé des écrits fanatiques et royalistes », et Corbeau, prévenu « d’avoir envoyé chaque jour aux deux Laignel des écrits contre-révolutionnaires et fanatiques copiés de sa main, et d’avoir, par discours et par actes, outragé et persécuté les patriotes ». [...]
 Au moment du départ, dit un des détenus de l’Hôtel-Dieu, Corbeau vint dans les greniers, se jeta dans nos bras, nous fit ses adieux et se recommanda à notre souvenir. » Cet homme, bien convaincu que vainement il exposerait sa défense, dit à ses juges : « Je sais que vous avez résolu ma mort ; je m’y suis résigné, et n’ai rien à répondre qu’à l’Être-Suprême : plus que vous, il connaît le fond de mon âme ; il vengera ma mort et cette de tous les innocents dont vous avez tramé la perte. »

Ils ont développé leur élevage et leur ferme de production d’escargots, mais aussi leur boutique et leur auberge (cette dernière est fermée cet été).

Stacy Beardsley, a soldier’s wife released this week from the hospital after a grueling surgery, watched two men in pressed military uniforms walk steadily to her front door.
 "Tell me he’s just hurt," the Indiana woman told the pair, according to family friend Marilyn Piersdorf.
 "Well, they couldn’t tell her that," Piersdorf said.
 Her husband, Army Sgt. William "B.J." Beardsley, who recently lived in Coon Rapids, died Monday in Diwaniyah, Iraq, 80 miles south of Baghdad, after a roadside bomb went off near his vehicle.
 The 25-year-old soldier had re-enlisted, in part, for the health insurance to cover his wife’s medical bills. He died the day she left the hospital.
 The surgery had been on his mind until the end, said Beardsley’s biological father, Jim Beardsley, of Blaine. "On Friday, we talked and he said, ’If anything happens, call the Red Cross and they’ll call me and I’ll be there,’ " Jim Beardsley said.
 His son had another request. “He said, ‘If anything happens to me, I want to make sure my kids know who I am,’ ” Jim Beardsley said. “He was afraid that if something happened to him, the kids being as small as they are, they wouldn’t understand why he was gone. They’d think he was just gone. That was his fear.”
 Beardsley was born in Muskogee, Okla., and his parents split when he was a boy. He spent his early years hopping between military bases with his mother and stepfather, a military man himself.
 Jim Beardsley said his son arrived in Coon Rapids in 2002 or 2003 to operate heavy equipment at his father’s excavating business. “He’d outwork anybody. If somebody else would dig, he’d dig faster,” Jim Beardsley said.
 B.J. Beardsley left the Twin Cities in December 2005 to join the Army. His batta lion in the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Ga., left for Iraq last September to provide support for U.S. coalition troops and to help train Iraqi security forces. After Beardsley enlisted, his wife and their two children — a 3-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy — moved to an Indianapolis suburb to be closer to the wife’s family.
 It was B.J. Beardsley’s second term of service. He joined the Army just after high school, was stationed in South Korea and at Fort Campbell, Ky., and met his wife, a soldier at the time. The two married five years ago. After leaving the service, the couple arrived in Coon Rapids and spent three years hopping between there and Indiana, Jim Beardsley said, before family financial and medical concerns and the need for insurance prompted B.J. Beardsley’s re-enlistment.
 Beardsley’s mother, Lavonna Harper, who lives in Oklahoma, said at first her son believed the U.S. cause in Iraq was just. But just a few weeks ago, Harper received an e-mail from him that said he could no longer make sense of why he was over there. “I wrote him back and told him to be careful and keep his head down and his butt covered,” Harper said. “I asked him what he needed me to send and when he was coming home.” She never got a reply.
 Grandfather Jim Beardsley, of Roseville, noted that his grandson was known as a baseball pro on the military bases where he grew up — even joining a military kids’ traveling team while his parents were stationed in Georgia.
 Piersdorf, a former North St. Paul schoolteacher and a family friend, described Beardsley as one of the most polite men she had ever met. “He was rather quiet, respectful — but with a great smile,” Piersdorf said. “He had that Southern politeness about him.”
 “Anybody who would get out of the Army and go back in, with a wife and kids, do what he did, is a hero,” the soldier’s father said.
 B.J. Beardsley was scheduled to return to Indiana in April for his son’s fifth birthday, family members said. They were told he was to leave Iraq for stateside duty in August.
 Beardsley’s wife and biological father say Beardsley will be buried in Indiana, close to his widow and two children. The military will offer a full-honors memorial service in the Twin Cities area, though it has yet to be scheduled.
Beardsley was the 45th military member from Minnesota to die in the Iraq war.

Stephen Ivan Miller, Sr. was born in 1838 son of Stephen L. Miller 1811-1864 and Mary Miller 1814-1874.
 Stephen was probably born on the family farm in Section 18, which was purchased in 1836. He helped his father on the farm until his marriage to Betsy Rebecca Hosley in 1864. They had two children Isabelle "Belle" Miller and Stephen Ivan Miller, Jr.. The following was given to Martha Hosley Baird Musson (originator of this genealogy) by Emily Knoop Curdy, Vlney Curdy’s wife. Volney was Isabelle Miller’s son. "Grandpa and Grandma Miller left the farm a great many years ago. They bought land that is now downtown Pontiac, Grandpa ran a livery barn there." As related by Charles T. Curdy, Steph’s Great Grandson, "This livery barn was used as a delivery point of negroes in the Underground Railroad."
 "It was in Pontiac that he made a good bit of money when his land was plotted and sold. He and Betsy went to Pasadena, Calif. to live with their son, Stephen Ivan and his wife, Florence. Stephen, Jr. was at the time Dean of Leland Stanford University. Grandpa and Grandma came back to Michigan and rented a house in the southwestern part of Howell, Michigan. Then they moved to West Washington St. They lived there until their deaths in 1918 and 1923. Both are buried in the Van Kuren Cemetery located on the corner of Curdy and Eager Roads.

Sur la carrière dans les Eaux-et-Forêts de François-Siméon DAVOUT, voici ce que l’on peut établir à partir des documents BnF/Gallica :

DAVOUT François-Siméon
1827 – Garde-forestier à Saint-Hellier (Seine Inférieure)
1841 – Garde général des forêts à Tonnerre (Yonne)
18?? – Sous-inspecteur des forêts à Remiremont (Vosges)
1846 – Sous-inspecteur des forêts à Tourouvre (Orne)
1855 – Inspecteur des forêts à Corte (Corse)
1860 – Inspecteur des forêts à Châtillon-sur-Seine (Côte-d’Or)
1866 – Droit à la retraite

Au moins un article de presse mentionne son prénom : Source : L’Union Bourguignone, 7 avril 1860 : « M. François-Siméon Davout, précédemment inspecteur en Corse, a été appelé au même titre à Châtillon-sur-Seine, en remplacement de M. Gallot. »
 Il semble que le seul autre Davout qu’on puisse rencontrer dans l’administration des forêts est son fils François-Marie Élie Davout qui est garde-général, puis sous-inspecteur et inspecteur dans la région de Constantine en Algérie dans les années 1860.
 Une dernière remarque concernant François-Siméon Davout, c’est la précocité et la force de caractère du personnage qui se marie à seize ans, devient père de famille à dix-sept, et parvient à s’extraire de la condition paysanne à force de volonté pour devenir inspecteur des forêts !

Sur l’acte de mariage, Jeanne Boucher, se transforme en Anne Boucher. On semble pourtant y lire un "J" qui aurait été effacé...
