    Notes:

    Misc:
    W.B. Strang was a business man in Amherst, Nova Scotia. He owned and ran a livery stable which was located across from the train station and next to the Amherst Hotel. He later started a taxi business around 1907 - believed to be the oldest taxi in the Maritimes - and was one of the first people to own a car in Amherst. He eventually owned a fleet of cars by the 1940's. He also had a contract with the Postal Service for parcel delivery.

    He owned a large Victorian home located at 99 Church Street. When his family was young, and while he supported other members of his family ie. sister Bessie, his mother-in-law, and cousin Hannah Embree Bent, he owned two working farms - one in Brookdale and took hay off the one on the Tantramar Marsh. I imagine the hay was used in the Livery Stable operation. The Brookdale farm provided vegetables and food for the family.

    Prior to his marriage he worked at the Amherst Car works as a carpenter and painter. Shortly after his marriage, he took sick with paritonitis (sp?) and spent some recovery time out west visiting his brother, Henry. When he returned, he started the livery stable business and the taxi business.

    According to Auntie Fran, Grandpa left home at an early age and took a job as a carpenter at the Canada Car Works in Amherst. People he worked with nicknamed him "Rock Maple" for some reason. She thought it was because he wore homemade wool socks but I think most people wore homemade socks in the late 1800's.

    Auntie Fran says she understood Grandpa's father, Ephraim Edgar, was a difficult man to get along with which is probably the reason the boys left home early.

    Misc:

    The 'Post' contains some particulars of the drowning accident in the Tidnish river (West. Co.) on Monday last by which a young man named James BRUNDAGE lost his life. He was on a raft fishing for smelts with an elderly man named George STRANG. They were standing on the end of the raft pulling in their net and the force of the current capsized their frail craft. Mr. Strang saved himself by clinging to a piece of timber, but his companion sank, though only about twenty yards from the shore. The body was found the same afternoon. Mr. Brundage leaves a wife and two children.
