BURSTALL, FRANK G. 


Petite Riviere, April 28, 1940-Mr. Frank G. Burstall, retired cable 
man, died here on Tuesday, after a three-days illness. The late Mr. 
Burstall was 80 years of age and was born in Leeds, Eng. He came to 
Nova Scotia in 1884 with the Commercial Cable Company, to establish the 
station at Hazel Hill. When he retired in 1924 he was superintendent of 
that station. After retiring he made his home for some time in Halifax 
and later spent six years in Bridgewater. He spent the summer seasons 
at Petite Riviere. On Tuesday Mr. Burstall was seized with a heart 
attack from which he did not rally. A man of kindly and generous 
disposition and character he had a host of friends who will sincerely, 
regret his passing. Surviving are his wife, four daughters, Mrs. J. C. 
Speer, Canal Zone; Mrs. Harold Hobbs, Hazel Hill; Mrs. L. V. Baukham, 
Westfield, N. J., and Mrs. Rita Michel, Halifax, and two sons, Frank of 
Imperoyal, Dartmouth, and Ernest, R.C.S.C., Halifax. The funeral 
service was held at the Anglican Church on Thursday at 2:30 o'clock, 
with Rev. V. W. Cunningham, rector of this church, assisted by Canon C. 
R. Cumming, acting rector of Trinity Anglican Church, Bridgewater. The 
Masonic Order, Acacia Lodge, A. F. & A. M., Bridgewater, officiated at 
the burial service. 



BURTON, GEORGE C. 


The death of George C. Burton took place at Petite Riviere on Thursday 
last, March 5, 1925, and the funeral was conducted on Saturday by Revs 
Adams and Neish. The deceased who was 76 years old, had been a resident 
of the place for almost all of his life and was one of its most 
respected citizens, always having been identified with anything that 
would make for its advancement. For over thirty years he had conducted 
a good business at LaHave Islands, although always a resident of Petite 
Riviere, and his relations with the people of LaHave Islands had always 
been most happy and cordial. He was intensely musical and during the 
earlier years of his life had been one of most valued members of the 
local Band and for a time its leader. He leaves a widow, one daughter 
Mrs. James Ryan of Petite Riviere and an only son George H., who 
resides at home.



BURTON, GEORGE H. - JUL., 1928 Death came suddenly to Geo. H. Burton 
early on Friday evening as he was sitting with his family; he was taken 
with a severe haemorrhage and before doctors or friends could be 
summoned had passed away. For the past few months he had been troubled 
with severe attacks of asthma but had not been forced to give up his 
business except at intervals and no one thought of his illness as 
serious. The funeral was held from his late residence and St. Michael's 
Episcopal Church on Sunday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Mr. 
White, assisted by Rev. Mr. Parker and was quite possibly the largest 
that has been seen here for a long time. The deceased who was not forty 
years old, had been conducting a garage for a number of years and 
lately had been mail courier on the new mail route between here and the 
Station. He was of a winning disposition, obliging and anxious to 
please and as a consequence had made friends by the hundred all over 
the locality who heard of his death with deepest regret and assembled 
Sunday afternoon to pay their last respects to him. The floral 
offerings were beautiful and from so many quarters that the room seemed 
really a bower of them for him to rest in. He was a valued member of 
Court Mayflower, C.O.F. and one of the Euphonium players in the Band, 
of which he had been a member for years, taking the deepest interest in 
its work. He is survived by his wife and young son Donald, his aged 
mother and a sister Mrs. James Ryan, and the deepest sympathy of the 
neighbourhood goes out to them in their terrible bereavement.

a large circle of friends, and will be laid to rest in the United 
Church Cemetery on Sunday afternoon.

BUSH, ERNEST 


Bridgewater, Feb. 7.- Ernest Bush, 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. 
Howard Bush of Bush Island, one of the LaHave Islands, died at 5.20 
this morning in Dawson Memorial hospital here of loss of blood and 
shock after he had been accidentally shot in the knee while hunting 
near his home at 4.00 yesterday afternoon. The boy received a load of 
shot in his left knee when his companion, Cecil Richard, 18, leaned 
down in the bottom of the boat to pick up his gun, the weapon 
accidentally discharging as he did so. Richard immediately got his 
friend ashore from the boat and called Dr. C. B. Cameron of Petite 
Riviere, who rushed the victim to hospital via motorboat up the LaHave 
River to Dublin Shore, thence by car to Bridgewater. The road below 
Dublin Shore was blocked with snow so that the doctor could not get 
through with his car. The boy was brought into the hospital at 9.00 
p.m., last night. Dr. Cameron, who is coroner for the district, decided 
that no inquest was necessary, death being purely accidental. Corporal 
Hamilton, in charge of the local R. C. M. P. detachment travelled to 
the scene of the tragedy to investigate it. The funeral of the victim 
will be held Saturday afternoon at 2.00 from his late home with 
interment in the cemetery at LaHave Islands Rev. F. H. Littlejohns of

BUSH, JAMES WILLIAM * The Oldest Man in Nova Scotia Dead --------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Shelburne, Dec. 5.-- Over 106 years of age, James William Bush, of 
Jordan River, died at his homestead there to-day. James William Bush 
was in all probability the oldest man in Canada. He was born on the 
17th. of March, 1817, and was therefore approaching his 107th birthday,

the centenarian enjoyed the best of health until within six weeks of 
his death, when he was stricken and confined to his bed. He died at the 
home of his son, William, with whom he had lived for the last seven 
years. Mr. Bush was a native of Lunenburg County, born on LaHave 
Island. For over ninety years he followed fishing off shore, and as 
recently as the summer of 1913 he caught and dressed sixteen barrels of 
herring. He had never taken doctor's medicine, and had never used 
tobacco or alcohol in any form. Mr. Bush was a great admirer of Hon. W. 
S. Fielding, and was held in admiration by Mr. Fielding. Since the two 
became acquainted many years ago, Mr. Fielding sent a letter of 
congratulation to Mr. Bush on each of his birthdays, and when near the 
old man's home always made it a point to pay him a visit. (From 
Liverpool Advance Dec. 21 / 1923)

the service and delivered a most comforting message to the bereaved 
family, which was based on three thoughts, "Entered Into Life," "Asleep 
In Jesus" and "Forever With The Lord." The choir led in singing the

him and won general esteem. Full funeral arrangements have not yet been

CROUSE, WILFRED ROGERS   

Crousetown, N.S. -1958- The community of Crousetown, as well as 
surrounding vicinity and indeed many parts of the province, received 
with deep regret the very sad news of the tragic death of Wilfred 
Crouse, Jr., one of our most popular and much loved young men, which 
occurred near Shelburne about noon on Friday, March l4th. Having been 
born at Crousetown, June l6th 1932 the late Mr Crouse was the only son 
of Councillor and Mrs. Wilfred Crouse, well-known and highly respected 
family of this community and throughout many provincial points. His 
mother, the former Marguerite Walsh, of Sable River, is an accomplished 
musician and has sung many times over radio station CKBW. His father, 
Wilfred Crouse Sr., is a member of the Council for the Municipality of 
Lunenburg. Possessing highest qualities of sterling Christian character 
and friendly disposition, the deceased endeared himself to all who knew 
him. After receiving his elementary education at Crousetown school, he 
became a student at Liverpool Academy where he received his High School 
education and where his close affiliations with school life made him 
most popular. Endowed with good musical talents, he was a valued member 
of the Liverpool Cadet Band during his years spent in that town. After 
completing high school the late Mr. Crouse entered Dalhousie University 
where he studied during four years. He then entered Acadia University 
where he specialized in the study of Geology. During his years spent in 
University life he was very popular with the student bodies and was a 
member of the fraternity, Zeta Psi. After graduating from college the 
late Mr. Crouse was employed for one year with the Mersey Paper 
Company. For one summer he was affiliated with a Geology Survey Corps 
headed by Professor Douglas, of Dalhousie University which time he 
spent in New Brunswick. For two summers he was associated with McPhar 
Geophysics Ltd. Following the college term of 1956, he went to work 
with Quemont Mines Ltd., Noranda, Quebec. While there he was an officer 
cadet in the Reserve Army and took an active part in its activities. He 
returned home in February, 1958, to work as travelling salesman for 
George Hansen, of New Minas, Kings Co. The late Mr. Crouse was a member 
of the Crousetown United Church. Early in February 1956 he married 
Janet Ida Sutherland, R.N., of Halifax, formerly of Port Mouton, Queens 
County; by whom he is survived. Others left to mourn the loss of a 
loved one are a seven-month old daughter, Mary Kathryn; his sorrowing 
parents; a sister Dawn, and his loving grandmother, Mrs. Nettie Crouse, 
of Crousetown. It can also be sincerely said that a large circle of 
friends both of his native community and elsewhere have been cast into 
profound mourning at the sad and shocking news of his early and tragic 
passing. Funeral services for the late Mr. Crouse were held from Wesley 
United Church, Petite Riviere, N.S., on Wednesday afternoon, March 
l9th, and was without a doubt the largest funeral ever witnessed in 
this area, approximately one thousand people having attended from all 
parts of the province. Officiating at the service was the pastor of the 
church, Rev. Robert MacKay, who most ably delivered one of the most 
comforting and appropriate funeral orations ever heard here: The choir 
was composed of members of the choirs of the United Churches of Petite 
Riviere, Crousetown, and LaHave. Favourite hymns sung were "The Lord's 
My Shepherd" and "Breathe on Me Breath of God." Mr L. H. Hall, well 
known tenor singer of Bridgewater, sang very beautifully and 
effectively the selection by special request, "In the Garden." The 
organist was Harold E. Eikle, of Crousetown. Pall bearers were 
fraternity brothers of Zeta Psi and included John E. Begin, William B. 
White, George Young, Jerry Nickerson, Ian F. Rae and Peter W. Evans. A 
large number of members of the fraternity also attended the funeral. 
Interment took place in the family lot of the Crousetown Cemetery. 
Approximately three hundred floral tributes and a very large number of 
cards and telegrams were received.                            Card of 
Thank, The family of the late Wilfred Crouse, Jr., wish to thank all of 
those who sent cards and letters and who were so helpful and kind 
during their recent bereavement.
