Patriarch of Mace’s Bay Has Passed Away:
Wilson Mawhinney, Dead in His ninety-fourth year, Leaves 123 Descendents:
The passing of Wilson Mawhinney on November 8th, Mace’s Bay has lost its
oldest citizen.
Born in Newry, Ireland in 1829, Mr. Mawhinney would have been
ninety-four years old in February.
One brother, Robert, of this place, survives; also his wife,
who was Miss Eliza Thompson, daughter of the late Edward and Martha Thompson, of
Musquash. This remarkable pair who had been married nearly sixty-nine years, had
a family of eleven sons and daughters, all of whom are living except one
daughter Julia, who died in childhood. They are: Jarvis and James, of Chance
Harbour; Robert, Wilson and Arthur, of Mace’s Bay; Mrs. Crossman, of Moncton;
Mrs. Thorpe, of Saint John; Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. McKay, of Pennfield Ridge; and,
Miss Emma, at home. All were present at the funeral. Besides these, Mr.
Mawhinney leaves fifty-six grandchildren, fifty-three great grandchildren, and
four great great grandchildren.
The body lay in state in Trinity Church until the funeral
service which took place on November 12th, Sunday, at 1 o’clock, when such a
large concourse of people gathered that many could not gain an entrance to the
church. The solemn service was conducted by the Rev. Norman Fairweather, Rector
of Musquash, and music was provided by a choir composed entirely by
grandchildren of the late Mr. Mawhinney. Six grandsons acted as bearers –
Herbert, Robert, Percy, Douglas, Clarence and Harris Mawhinney. Beautiful floral
tributes were sent by the family and friends. At the conclusion of the service
nearly every-one present availed themselves of an opportunity to look once more
upon the face of one whose life had been a beautiful example of honest Christian
integrity. Beloved of his family, honored in his community, and respected by all
who knew him, this patriarch of Mace’s Bay was laid to rest in the New Union
Cemetery at The Ridge.

POLITICAL PARTY: Progressive Conservative
SENATE: Appointed 30 Aug 1990 by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
SENATORIAL DIVISION: Saint John, New Brunswick.
At the time of her appointment, she was the youngest member
of the Senate. Although deserving of an appointment due to her enormous
enthusiasm for the people, politics and commerce of southern NB, Prime Minister
Mulroney had as his objective an increase in the Conservative representation in
the Senate that would exceed that of the Liberals so that his legislation from
the House of Commons would not be delayed or amended. Had she not lost her life
in an unfortunate road accident outside Fredericton, NB on 29 Jan 1993, there is
little doubt she would have had a long period of service to the betterment of
the people of New Brunswick and Canada in the Parliament of Canada.
Senator Teed was educated in the Saint John school system, at
Saint Mary’s University in Halifax and at the University of New Brunswick,
Saint John campus. She had a private business career as
owner and a Personnel Consultant under the name of Nanci Personnel Services
Limited. She employed the phonetic spelling of her name since the correct
spelling would not have entitled her to registration due to conflicts with other
firms already using the name ‘Nancy’ in their title.
Senator Teed was first elected for Saint John South in
the NB general election of NB on 23 October 1978; re-elected in the general
election of 12 October 1982, and finally defeated in the general election of 13
Oct 1987. During her term in the NB Legislature, she served as Minister of
Social Services 1982-1985 and Minister of Health and Community Services and
Minister responsible for Alcoholism and Drug Dependency Commission 1985-1987.
She was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Mulroney in 1990.
When serving in the NB Legislature, she was a member of
a) House Committees on Law Amendments, Veterans Affairs, Municipalities; b)
Corporations, Social Development, Energy, Public Accounts, Agriculture, Natural
Resources and Fisheries, and Economic Development; c) Standing Committees on
Private Bills and the Ombudsman; d) Executive Committee on Social Policy and
Programs and e) served as the Chairperson in the important Standing Committee on
Supply. In the latter two committees, she had a hand in guiding the evolution of
social programs in the province as well as the provincial budget and
taxation. As a private person, Senator Teed was a member
of these Organizations and Charities a) Saint John Committee on Environment; b)
Board of Directors – YWCA; c) Saint John Board of Trade; d) Board for the
Saint John Municipal elections; e) Women’s Business and Professional Club; f)
Women’s Political Action; g) Advisory Board - Salvation Army; h) Trinity
Church; i) Secretary Market Square Corporation; and j) Vice President: New
Brunswick Red Cross Society.
Senator Teed was married to William Teed of Saint John,
NB where they made their home. They had two children, Jennifer Elizabeth Ann
Teed and Harrison Anthony William Teed. She was survived by them and her mother
Irene Sarah Theresa Mawhinney. Her father, Harry Anthony Shaw Clark had
predeceased her. She was also survived by her sister Ann Marie (Dr Robert
Andre); and her brothers Harry Melborne "Mel" (Judith Ann Northrup)
Clark and their children Stephanie Dawn and Christopher Andrew; and Paul Edwin
