Obituary

LATE N. STRANG OF BAIE VERTE

Correspondent Gives Sketch of a Well Know Resident - Native of P.E.I.

On Thursday, Sept, 13th., 1917, Baie Verte lost a valuable citizen, and the Methodist Church a faithful member, when Nathaniel W. Strang passed to his eternal home, after several weeks of severe suffering, patiently borne.

Deceased was born at Searltown, P.E.I., on August 12th, 1833, but had spent the most of his life of 84 years in Westmorland County, N.B..

Many years ago he removed from P.E.I., to the Emigrant Road. It was while living here that he was called upon to mourn the death of a daughter,and also the wife of his early years, whose maiden name was Eliza Jane Trenholm.

Some years after Mr. Strang was united in marriage with Mrs. Alfred Rayworth of Upper Cape.

Once again, however, he was called upon to commit the remains of a beloved wife to the grave.

With his children married and away, he felt the loneliness of his position keenly at this bereavement. It was while visiting a son in Austen, Mass., he met the lady whom he leaves to mourn his death, Mrs. Francis A Russell, who returned with him to Baie Verte, where they lived a quiet happy life.

He leaves to mourn his decease, a wife, two sons, Theodore C., and Fletcher, of the Emigrant Road, and three daughters, Mrs. Clarke Allen, Mrs. Ritchie Allen, both of Cape Tormentine, and Mrs. Frank Graham of Boston, Mass., and one sister, Jemima, who lived on P.E.I. besides several grandchildren.

The family regretted the absence of their pastor, Rev. Hugh Miller, who was attending the Social Service Committee in Toronto.

The Rev.Mr. Brownell, Presbyterian Minister of Port Elgin, attended the service at the house and preached in the Upper Cape Church, in which Mr. Strang had worshiped for many years, and delivered an effective address to the large number of friends and neighbors who attended.

Nathaniel married Eliza Ann Trenholm 13 Nov 1855. Eliza (daughter of John Trenholm and Charlotte Richardson Dobson) was born 18 Oct 1831, Bayfield, Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada; died 25 Mar 1897, Emigrant Road, , New Brunswick, Canada; was buried , Bayfield Cemetery, Bayfield, Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada.

Notes:

Misc:
The only source of information I have at present is a Letter provided by Dr. Albert Dobson of Abbotsford BC, from "Uncle Ed" (James Edward Dobson) to "Madge) in 1941: "Richard Dobson m. Charlotte Richardson, b. 23 Mar 1776. They were married 10 Apr 1793. She was the daughter of a British Army Officer, whose regiment was then stationed at Charlottetown, PEI."
This letter included the list of information from the family bible. Most of the information is reliable, but not entirely. There was a statement in the same letter that the Dobsons came to Halifax on the ship Duke of York in 1772, but that is not true, since the Dobsons went via Boston and a baby daughter died and was buried in Boston.
Richard Dobson and Charlotte Richardson had a son Joseph Dobson, who married Hannah Harriet Ingram. According to email information from Betty Dobson ("Inkspotter") to Jean Simon, Hannah was the daughter of James & Barbara Ann (Richardson) Ingram.
If Barbara Ann Richardson and Charlotte Richardson were sisters, then Joseph Dobson and Hannah Ingram were first cousins! There were a lot of first-cousin marriage in those days.
I have another interpretation of existing data which might complicate the plot still further:
Richard Dobson's older brother David "the spy" Dobson, b. May 1753, married Hannah, widow Richardson on 2 Aug 1784 at St. Pauls Anglican, Charlottetown PEI. If this Hannah was born about 1753, then she is old enough to be the mother of Charlotte Richardson born 1776. Thus David, the older brother, might have married the widowed mother, and Richard, the younger brother, 9 years later, could have married the daughter. [A theory only, but it is quite possible.] Your Barbara Ann Richardson, if born about 1782, could be a sister of Charlotte, and also a daughter of Hannah. [?]
