(NOTE: This is all I have left for 1922, as I didn't get the microfilms for
the rest of the year. As a matter of fact, I also haven't received 1923 or
1924, so I will be starting at 1925 next. If I do receive any of the years
that I have missed, I will post them as soon as they are transcibed and
proofread. I try to keep the postings in chronological order, but some
things are out of my control.)

OBITUARY

HENRY D. CARTER

Mr. Henry D. CARTER, youngest and last surviving son of the late Sir
Frederick B. T. CARTER, K.C. M.C., passed away yesterday. He as been unwell
for about a year, and in company with Mrs. CARTER, visited the Old Country
recently for consultation and treatment. About three months ago he returned
to Newfoundland, and shortly after his illness assumed an acute form. Mr.
CARTER was, until two years ago, the Assistance Manager of the Bank of
Montreal in this city. His bank career covered a period of over 40 years.
By 1894, when the Commercial Bank closed, he had won his way by sheer merit
and devotion to duty to the accountancy of the Bank. His services were
secured by the Bank of Montreal on its opening here a few weeks later.
Since then his career was one of steady promotion, until his retirement. In
financial and business circles Mr. CARTER was held in general respect and
regard. For sometime he was a churchwarden in St. Thomas's Parish. He also
held official positions in the City Club. Predeceased by his three
brothers, Weston, a monument to those memory is erected on the Mall, Hugh
and Stanley, Barristers, the only remaining member of Sir Frederick's family
are Mrs. HENDERSON and Miss Louisa CARTER. Mr. CARTER is survived by his
wife, daughter of the late Hon. James BAIRD, M.L.C., three sons , Cyril,
director of James Baird, Limited, Frederick of the Bank of Montreal at
Halifax and Harry of the city, also by two daughters, Margaret, wife of Mr.
Jack BAIRD, and Gertrude of this city. His genial personally and kindly
counsel will be missed by all who were privileged to enjoy his friendship.
The funeral takes place tomorrow from Mr. Cyril CARTER's residence, Queen's
Road.


MISS COLE

On Friday Miss Kate COLE passed away at Southsea, England, where she was
residing since leaving St. John's some five years ago. The news of her
death will be received with sorrow by very many in this city, where her
labours of charity and love are remembered with gratitude. Miss C COLE 's
departure left vacancies in church and philanthropic work difficult to fill,
and to the present day, her guiding hand and helpful counsel are missed in
many a phase of social and Christian endeavour. Notably is this so by the
Methodist Orphanage, the Ladies College Aid society and George Street Church
the interests of all of which she watched over with solicitude. Her work
for the orphanage children was invaluable, no toll or tax on time and
service, being regarded by her as too great or to oncrous. Miss COLE, who
was a nice of the late Hon. Charles R. AYRE, and a sister of the late Mrs.
J. E. P. PETERS, is survived by her sister, Mrs. Alexander ROBERTSON, of
Long Hill, this City and relatives in Southsea, where interment will take
place.

MARY MARGARET VINICOMBE

General sympathy is being extended to Mr. and Mrs. N. J. VINICOMBE whose
eldest child, Mary Margaret passed away yesterday. She had been ill for
some time and a few months ago entered the Sanitarium, where it was hoped
she would benefit, but the head disease had obtained too strong a grip on
her frail constitution to overcome. Of a bright and loveable disposition,
her passing, was just as she was building into womanhood, comes as a heavy
blow to her parents and is deeply deplored by her many friends.


FATAL ACCIDENT AT FERRYLAND

JAMES CLOWE DIED FROM INJURIES WHILE ON HIS WAY TO HOSPITAL

An accident that ended fatally, occurred at Ferryland on Saturday afternoon,
the victim being James CLOWE, a fisherman of that place. The accident was a
peculiar one. Deceased was returning home from the fishing grounds in his
motor boat and was leaning over the engine house when the fly wheel of the
7-horse power engine came off and smashing the woodwork, struck CLOWE with
terrific force in the abdomen. He was knocked unconscious and on reaching
shore was attended to by Dr. FREEBAIRN, while Rev. Father MAHER was also
called. On recovering consciousness, it was seen that he was hurt
internally, but it was not thought his conditions was so serious. Yesterday
his condition became worse, however, and he suffered intense pain and it was
deemed advisable to have him sent to the General Hospital. Sir. M. P.
CASHIN received a message yesterday at noon telling him of the accident and
as it was impossible to take him to the city by motor, asking that a steamer
be sent. Sir Michael immediately arranged to send the Cabot and at 3.30
p.m. yesterday the ship left for Ferryland. Captain DALTON lost no time in
getting there and at 7.40 last evening the ship left with the injured man on
board. He was accompanied by his brother and another relative. All
possible for his comfort on board the steamer was done but shortly after
passing Cape Broyle he passed away. The Cabot thereupon returned to
Ferryland with the body, where there is universal sympathy felt over his
untimely end. Deceased, who was 24 years of age is survived by a widow and
one child.


DIES SUDDENLY

About 10.30 last evening Mr. Charles PURCHASE was stricken suddenly ill at
his residence head of Pleasant Street. Before Dr. ANDERSON, who was
summoned, arrived life had departed. On examination the doctor described
death as due to heart failure. Deceased was a married man and leaves a
wife, 3 daughters, and one son to mourn his death. He had been apparently
in the best of health and was working steadily at Lester's at the time his
death occurred the unfortunate man was resting quietly. General sympathy
will be felt for the bereaved family.


We hope this helps someone,
