Sheriff Dibblee's Death
Carleton Sentinel Sept. 16 1893

Not altogether unexpected, still the announcement of the death of Sheriff Dibblee, on Saturday morning, was a surprise and shock to the community. As there was no man better known in the County so there was none more generally esteemed in his personal and official relations. Thirty-five years active discharge of the duties of high sheriff must necessarily involve rather trying experiences, and during that length of time Sheriff Dibblee discharged the duties of office and without making an enemy.

Carleton County has only had three Sheriffs since it's independent establishment, namely J. F. W. Winslow, Samuel Dickinson and F. R. Jenkins Dibblee, now just deceased.

Mr. Dibblee was in his 68th year; for some time his strength had been failing and it had become evident that his health would not be restored, but his immediate death was not anticipated and he had been out in his carriage on Friday, but on Saturday morning he quietly died owning to heart failure.

Sheriff Dibblee was a direct descendent of historic stock, being the eldest son of the late F. B. Dibblee and grandson of Rev. Frederick Dibblee who was the first rector of Woodstock : he was born on the Dibblee homestead a few miles below town, but at an early age came to Woodstock to reside with his aunt, the late Mrs. Morehouse, upon whose death he inherited very valuable properties in the town, one being nearly the entire block on the corner of Main and Connell street extending to the Connell estate on the latter and to Chapel street on the former.

Animated by an enterprising desire to benefit the town, while promoting his own interests, he erected the large and expensive brick building, known as the " Cable House " which was subsequently destroyed by fire.

The Sheriff was, through life, firmly attached to the liberal party in politics, but while never hesitating to affirm his preferences in this regard, he, while in office, carefully abstained from obnoxiously obtruding his views or allowing them to influence his official conduct.

The deceased leaves a widow, a daughter of the late George W. Cleary, and two children--a son, Col. F. H. J. Dibblee, and a daughter, the wife of A. B. Connell, Esq.
At the time of his father's death, Colonel Dibblee was in Chicago and did not reach home for the funeral, which took place on Wednesday afternoon at the parish churchyard, Rev. Canon Ketchum of St. Andrews officiating. The public respect for the deceased was indicated by the several flags hanging at half mast, and the closing of the stores while the procession, a very lengthy one, passed through the streets. As a mark of regard to their Captain, the firemen, in full citizens dress, formed an escort guard.

The Mercer Fortune
Carleton Sentinal Oct. 13, 1909

James A. Mercer, 2 Beechwood Place, Cork, Ireland, writes to The Telegraph in connection with the Mercer fortune, asking for information regarding relatives in Woodstock.
Mr. Mercer, in his letter, says:
"
I was born in Woodstock in July 1855. My parents resided there for some years and then returned to Ireland with two sons. I am the oldest."
He gives the names of
a McAfee family in Woodstock as his cousins and desires that they, if located, should write him particulars of the Mercer fortune to assist him in establishing a claim to it.
He says that one of his cousins, a
Miss Maggie McAfee was married in 1892 to a J.B. Wolverston, but the writer of the letter is at present unable to locate any of them.

Benjamin Burtt
of
Jacksontown
Sent this letter to the Editors of the Carleton Sentinel,March 3, 1897

I am writing a few lines to let the readers of the Sentinel know that my father Benjamin Burtt was one of the first settlers in Jacksontown 85 years ago and that I was the first male child born there in 1815. I went to school to the first teacher, Rev. Thomas Magee. I remember John Jackson the first man to make a farm and went to school with four of his children at Jacksonville. There has been many changes since I was a Boy, the poorest people in the Parish of Wakefield know little of the hardships of early settlers, my mother told me that one spring they had to dig up potatoes after planting to use for food.
There were no provisions to be got this side of Fredericton and the men used to take a Canoe and go there and pole up a barrel of corn and keg of Molasses if they could raise the money.
Now, Editors, I will say a little about Woodstock.
In 1823 I was there for the first time. My older brother John went with me both on one horse. There was no highway from Anthony Bakers place which is now owned by Rev. Thomas Todd, to the creek, only a path through the woods.
At that time there were only three houses in Woodstock, two on this side of the creek and one on the other owned by Capt. Smith, the first store was kept by Thomas Phillips, it was on the east side of the highway road where Frank Sharp's plum trees now stand, the next store was owned by Perley and English at the mouth of the Houlton road. The first store at the Creek was owned by Jeremiah Connell where Dibblee and sons hardware now stands.
My grandfathers name was Benjamin Burtt, my fathers name was also Benjamin and Benjamin is my name.
I am now in the Eighty Second year of my age.
Jacksonville New Brunswick March 3.1897.


James Kelly Dead
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper Dec. 30, 1904

Nearly everyone in town knew "Jimmy Kelly", an old gentleman who formerly lived on a farm near Plymouth, and who recently came to town to board at the Brunswick. Monday morning he was found dead in his bed. An inquest was held at which a verdict of death from heart failure was rendered. Mr. Kelly's wife died about two years ago. He was famous as a dealer in horses.


Patrick McAnna
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper Jan 27, 1905.

The subject of this sketch was born in the city of Fredericton in the year 1834. Two years later his parents moved to Woodstock, where the son was brought up. After securing the elements of a common school education he learned the trade of mason and builder, and in the pursuit of that calling became known as a mechanic of skill and integrity.
Nearly all the larger buildings in town were erected under his supervision, and of him it may truly be said
" If you want to see his monument, look around."
Deceased was never married, but along with his sister Annie and brother James kept up a comfortable and hospitalable home on Broadway. Another brother, John, has been living for years in Calfornia. Some five or six years ago Patrick McAnna was seized with rheumatism, which rendered him almost unable to move around. A few weeks before his death paralysis set in, and on Sunday last, Jan 15th, he breathed his last. The remains were interred in the new Catholic cemetery.

Waterville
Anne Vivian Stairs
The Press Newspaper Jan 25 1925

Bangor, Maine, Jan. 19
Anne Vivian Stairs, brunette beauty of 20 years, whose native place is West Waterville, N.B., and who had for some time been employed as housemaid in the family of George Haskell, a merchant in Houlton, died in the Aroostook Hospital in that town * Friday night and as a result of her ante mortem statement a warrant was issued on Saturday from the office of County Attorney Weatherbee in Bangor for the arrest of Dr. Charles D. Edmunds of Bangor on the charge of murder.
Dr. Edmunds ws arrested at 3:20 Saturday afternoon by Frank J. Rogan, criminal investigator for the county attorney's office, and Police Inspector Frank J. Golden, and locked up in the police station.
At 2:30 Saturday morning the same officers arrested at the Maine Central freight yards Edward D. Gilbert of Houlton, who was one of the crew of 19 men employed as caretaker of a train of 38 cars of potatoes, bound from Aroostook county points via Vanceboro to New York.
Gilbert, who has not as yet been informed of the girl's death, admitted, so the prosecuting authorities say, his connection with the case, saying that on Wednesday last he accompanied Miss Stairs to Bangor and to Dr. Edmund's office, where the illegal operation is said to have been performed, after which the pair returned to Houlton.
Gilbert is 28, and has a wife and one child. He is said to come from a good family.
Dr. Edmunds, who maintained perfect composure when the officers came to arrest him, has made no statements so far as the newspapers can find out. He has engaged George E. Thompson as attorney. Murder not being a bailable offence,
Dr. Edmunds remains in a police cell, as also does Gilbert.
Miss Stairs, accompanied by Gilbert, returned to Houlton Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday at 10 a.m. the girl's condition became so serious that Dr. F. W. Mann was called to attend her, and at once ordered her taken to the Aroostock Hospital, where, as is usual in cases of patients who are liable to become public charges, an affidavit was prepared, reciting the circumstances of her illness, to which she made oath. The affidavit was prepared at the instance of First Selectman George W. Ervin, by Walter Cowan, attorney and notary public, and was read to Miss Stairs and sworn to before those named and two nurses. In the affidavit she is said to have named Dr. Edmunds and Gilbert.
On Saturday morning, after consultation with Attorney General Fellows and County Attorney Weatherbee, Dr. H. J. Millikin, one of the medical examiners for Penobscot county, went to Houlton and there, with Dr. Frank H. Jackson, medical examiner for Aroostook county, performed an autopsy on the remains of Miss Stairs with Drs. Mann and Potter as observers.
On Sunday the body of Miss Stairs was taken to her home in West Waterville, near Woodstock, N.B., by her mother, accompanied by the girl's fiance, a young man of that town.

Debec
Thomas Griffin
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper Jan 13, 1905

Thomas Griffin lost his barns and stock, including 20 head of cattle, 12 head of sheep, hay, straw and farm machinery by fire, which was caused by children playing with matches in a cellar under the barn. We are sorry to say there was no insurance, and hope that the citizens and country at large will asssist Mr. Griffin in his loss. At the time of the fire the wind was blowing at the rate of 60 miles an hour.

Lower Woodstock
John Craig
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper Nov 26 1904

John Craig, who lives seven miles below Woodstock, is one of the best farmers along the beautiful St John River or elsewhere in Carleton County. He has two farms consisting of 400 acres, 20 head of cattle, 6 horses, 10 hogs and a good flock of sheep. The beauty of farming is plenty of help both in the house and outdoors, and Mr. Craig, who has two sons and a daughter, has all the help required. He is a carpenter and can work at the bench and do all his own repairing. He realizes from six to eight hundred dollars on butter and cheese.

The Body Found
of
"Henry Lawson"

The Press Newspaper May 6, 1907.
About seven o'clock Thursday night, while
Earl Nye was coming through the field of Mr. Clair, adjacent to the woods on the cross road in South Gordonville, he discovered the body of the missing man, Henry Lawson, face upwards.
The missing man who had wallowed through the deep snow in the wood and facing a heavy storm must have played out and
froze to death.
At the coroner's investigation the facts of the case will be brought out as near as possible under the circumstances. The man had emerged from the woods for about 40 rods into the field where he was found. The Orangemen of the district have taken charge of the body.

Note: The disappearance of Henry Lawson below on this page.

Carleton Sentinel Newspaper August 5, 1904.

On Sunday last a party of young fellows were bathing in the river on the Northampton shore, when one of them, by the name Harry Kidney, got out of his depth.
His distress was noticed
by a young Englishman named Malcolm Orford who though too far away to give assistance called the attention of others near the water.
Mr. Plate, another young Englishman, and Mr. Harry Bull gallantly went to his rescue; they were followed up by Rob Gill in a punt, who was the first to reach Kidney and saved him by thrusting a paddle to him. If it had not been for Mr. Gill's promptness, Harry Kidney would most probably have drowned as the current was taking him out into the river and the other men were too far away to save him.

Mr. Lawson's Disappearance

Carleton Sentinel Newspaper April 22, 1907.
There is something of a sensation around about Oakland in this county.
As a result Deputy Sheriff Foster with a posse of men is making an investigation, acting under the direction of the Attorney General.
Back of Oakland is a place which is popularly known as "Rogue's Roost."
Here lived
a man named Henry Lawson, who was married to a woman named Cullens. Other families by the name of Cullins lived round about. As late back as the early days of February, Henry Lawson left his home, or at all events disappeared, which was recorded in this newspaper at the time. Since then nothing has been heard of him and certain stories implying the possibility of foul play have been talked about and hence the steps now taken to investigate the matters.
The deputy, A R Foster, had telegraphed to all points and can find no word whatever of the missing man.
Lawson is a man about 50 years of age and weighting about 150 pounds and was very poorly clad when last seen.
