Police in Eastport: Herbert: Leander: Howard: Harold and LeRoy and Osborne.
Daughters were: Ida, a teacher, Mrs. Will Simpson, Oak Bay: Mildred, 
(Milly) Mrs. Amniu Ammie, Dyer, who went to Wisconsin Michigan: Eva, Mrs. Dow, St.George;
Mary, now widow of Dr. Young, formerly of Oak Bay. She is ninety-three,
lives in Wisconsin and is very active: and Ethel, Mrs. Charles McCullough,
Sr., now in Rollingdam. Leander came home after being in Wiscousin some
years where he studied electricity. He married Elizabeth Linton, daughter
of Joseph Linton Boyd, and moved to St. Stephen. He became one of the
first to be an electric car conductor and I think the first head of
Telephone Company in St. Stephen. LeRoy went into employment of Singer
Sewing Company in Saint John very young. When there was a request to
apply for a position as agent of the company in Japan, one hundred applied
at the New York head office. Roy was selected for the position mainly
because he and his wife had no family. They went for five years, returning
in 1920 and went to live in Providence, RI. Howard, married to Lillian McCullough, made his home with his
mother. Lillian died young, leaving a son Keith, and daughter Marion.
Marion married Ernest Peacock and went to live in Rollingdam. Then Keith
married a teacher from Moore’s Mills and lived home. Two little girls
came and Mrs. Keith wanted to go to live with her mother at Moore’s Mills.
Howard was alone and went to Marion’s in Rollingdam. Harold married Etta Holt
and bought Osborne's home and farm on the Hill when Osborne and family
moved to St. Stephem in 1904. Harold's home on the hill was the central
place for an evening’s entertainment. They lost their daughter Bernice
in 1920. Harold died in 1925 in his early forties, and Arnold went to
Normal School the next year. In few years the place, then in good
condition, was sold to Douglas Cunningham, but his wife's health would not
allow him to stay. Mrs. Nelson Cunningham cared for her daughter-in-law
until she died. There were three children-- Burton, William and a daughter Frances
who married Harold Lawrence. Burton lives in the Harold Mitchell house :
Billy went to U.N.B. and resides in Fredericton. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson
Cunningham had two children-- Douglas who lived home until he moved to St.
Andrews and Marion, wife of Guy Acheson, now St. Stephen. Durell Cunningham
later purchased that property and his son John Cunningham, wife and
child live there.

    In recent years the Beverley Mitchell home has changed hands a number
of times: first, Murdock Hatt, who worked for Conley’s Lobsters. He found
the daily drive to work in St. Andrews too hard for him. Then, Eldon
Merchant. Later, Bill Stewart, who married Rose Gowan seems to be is settled
there. The Crawley’s had sold to John Thomas, who lived a mile toward St.
George. The place was burned and Hazen Gillis married to Florence,daughter
of young James McCullough, built a house on Crawley site. They moved away
to work in St. Andrews, and Harry Gillis bought it and let his daughter Olive
and Archie Berriault live there. The Nelson Cunningham house had belonged
to Fletcher Turner, some of whose daughters--I think Carrie and LorieLovie, had
one year walked down to our school in Lower Bocabec along with several others
to get extra help for entering Normal School. The next year the family moved
to Milltown, N.B.

    Down over the Hill, just near Hiram Hanson and beside Bocabec River,
was an Agricultural Hall where Fairs were held. My great aunt took me there
in the fall of 1893. I think that was the last year. They were of great
interest and competition to the farmers here for a long time. The building
went. Across the Upper Bocabec Bridge, a road led to a granite quarry on
land belonging to Charles, son of Hiram Hanson. This quarry was operating
in 1908-1909 (I’m sure of this). Another black granite was on the Sam
Orr property in lower Bocabec. The Black granite is all over this part of
Bocabec. The hillside rock in front of my house takes a beautiful black polish
with little white flakes like snowflakes, much prettier than Red Granite.
However, a lot of this in Bocabec was found to have rusty veins in it, so
was unfit for large monuments. From Upper Bocabec they carried it from
quarry on heavy drays drawn by horses, to St. George. In Lower Bocabec they
took it that way to salt water, some near Birch Cove and eventually tooktaken on
scows to St. George. The quarry down in Lower Bocabec was owned by
Sheriff Stuart, St. Andrews, and McGrattan’s quarry-men of St. George
operated the one at Charles Hanson’s.

    Going down from that Bridge on west side of Bocabec River, we see the
Peter Crawley place-- brother of Peter’s James across the river. Different people
lived there after Peter-- Durell Cunningham: Eben Leavitt for short times.
