Dispatch Newspaper Feb 20, 1907
On Thursday near Bird Settlement, Kenneth Bird found the body of O.
G. Hampton,
an old man from
Coverdale, near Woodstock, in the snow on the lumber road leading
off the York road.
The old man had been in that vicinity several weeks selling
,roots, herbs,etc.
It is thought he
perished of exposure on
Tuesday, having stayed with a family named Little on Monday night.
The unfortunate man's body when found was partly covered with
snow. The posture was that of a man tired out, as he was lying
down in the snow along side the road, with his head resting on
his hand, which was supported by his elbow.
A pathetic incident in connection with the tragic discovery was the finding of a
small dog, the old man's pet, which was perched on his dead master's
body.
The faithful canine
had stayed with his master to the last, and thus kept guard over
his mortal remains.

Mrs.
Anothony G. Baker died at the Commercial Hotel, Hartland, on
Friday after several weeks illness of spinal meningitis. Her
husband is manager of the John McLauchlan Company store and has
been there only a few weeks.
Mrs. Baker was an estimable young woman and her husband has the
sympathy of many friends.
The funeral was held at Victoria Corner, on Sunday.
James
Hovey, a well known
old timer in this district writes from Centreville, N.B. he is
still on top and making good in mining in that district.
This will be pleasant news to his many friends in this district
as he was deservedly popular here.
He informs us that he has recently bought into a group of copper
mines which will prove a big paying investment for him and his
partners.
Development has been done which proves that the four foot lead is
widening out as depth is obtained.
Mr. Hovey is so
well known in this district as a competent mining man, that it is superfluous to add that if
the ore is there he will find it and make a big success of the
mine. We congratulate him in unison with his many friends on
having so valuable a property.
Sanson, B.C. Mining Review.
The Mr. Hovey above refered to is the manager of the Cobbler
Sexton Mine.
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper May

Gentlemen:
I feel somewhat sad in replying to your kind address upon my leaving Woodstock, and were it not for the ill health of my
family and self, coupled with the fact that some of my children
have already located in Digby, N.S.(our future home) I would have
been content to spend the remainder of my days in New Brunswick.
While I have many friends in other parts of this Province, yet no place seems like home but Carleton
County, and I am
consoled with the fact that during the time I have lived among
you, the improvements made in the facilities for travelling are
so great that in point of time, I am as near you now as
Fredericton was when I first located at Woodstock; and though
deeply regretting the necessity for changing my residence, I
shall still retain a deep interest in your County, and take pride
and pleasure in hearing of your moral and material progress, and
(Provindence permitting) I shall look forward with pleasure to
occasionally visiting my old home.
In regard to any aid I may have given to the advancement of the
agricultural interest, I may say that previous to, and since my
adopting farming for an occupation, I came to the conclusion that
the only reasonable expeciation our farmers could have of getting
a fair remuneration for their labours, in the future, would be in
materially increasing the production per acre, rather than in
higher prices for their products, and while benefitting
themselves in this way would also be contributing to the
welfare\par of the whole human family. Hence I have devoted my
humble ability towards accomplishing that result, and if I have
been sufficiently successful to merit your approbation, I shall
feel that my efforts have met with some measure of success.
The farmer is the
philosopher who sustains all other philosophers, and without whose labour and
productions, physical existence and with it mind itself must
cease to exist. As important therefore as are all the arts and
sciences in the so called higher developement of civilized and
christian man, much more important is it that Agriculturists task
themselves in the attainment and use of knowledge in their
profession; thus only can they, with the blessing of God, render
nature might , to produce and make glad a world wide community.
It must be patent to all, that
the future prosperity of Carleton County, depends upon its agricultural resources.
You have many more noble minds than mine engaged in this
business, and I trust they will feel encouraged by your
recognition of this interest, and with the valuable aid given by
the press, Carleton
has nothing to fear in the future.
With the best wishes of Mrs. Longstaff, family and myself, for
your general prosperity and happiness, I remain,
Yours Truly,
T. W. Longstaff
