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.

You may also find this to be of interest, since "Michael Houlahan" is mentioned. From a book by Cecil J. Houston & William J. Smyth called "Irish Emigration and Canadian Settlement: Patterns, Links and Letters" [Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1990] at pages 197 - 200, you will find the following:

"The Irish settlement along the "New Road" to Cape Tormentine ... was part of the Gulf shore Irish identity -- almost exclusively Catholic and created well before the famine by immigrants mainly from the south of Ireland. In 1820 the government of New Brunswick contracted the survey of an east-west line through the centre of the peninsula tipped by Cape Tormentine. The road was meant to encourage pioneering by immigrants who were then flocking into the colony. Fifty parcels of land of about two hundred acres each were marked off as free grants, and almost immediately Catholic Irish immigrants began arriving to claim them. In a very short time, a community took form, built around numerous kin links, common origins, and common experiences. By 1825 all the lots had been distributed. In 1826 a log building to serve as a church mission station was built, and in the early 1830s a priest was sent over from Prince Edward Island to assess the possibility of a parish. He reckoned there was insufficient means to support a full-time priest. The Tormentine New Road settlement would be served by occasional visiting clergy from the large Acadian settlement to the northwest. In 1838 a proper church building was raised and the settlement given a permanent focus.

A Corkman, Timothy Lane, was the first to apply to the "committee for settling emigrants" in January 1821 and was issued a "location ticket" which gave him the right to occupy and make improvements on a 160 acre plot on the north side of the [Cape Tormentine New] road. His brother Aeneas was given a ticket for 190 acres on the opposite side. Until their cabins were ready, the brothers boarded with their earlier-established neighbours, the Trenholmes, an English family. A third brother, William, chose not to seek a land grant but acquired property nonetheless through marriage to widow Trenholme. In late 1821, another Corkman, William Savage, a cousin of the Lanes, and a Kerryman, Michael Houlihan, were issued location tickets. Houlihan had been in the colony for a year and a half before applying, Savage and his wife and child, a year. The following summer, Savage's brother John arrived from Ireland and arranged with Michael Houlihan to take over his location rights, notifying the authorities to that effect. In his letter to the settlement committee in 1823, John Savage explained: "having emigrated to this Country in the year 1822 in order to look out for a small tract of Land to settle upon, I am induced, from a desire to live near my Brother, to apply to you, Sir for a quantity of Emigrant Land containing two hundred acres, situated at Tormentine, once located by a Michael Houlahan but surrendered to me. I have chopp'd down Three Acres on the same, and, god willing, intends to go on improving it, as I have a family of five Boys." Brothers Dennis, Patrick and Morris Savage also acquired land nearby. Other immigrants trickled in -- the Cross family from England, the Dennis Murphy family and John Larsy from Ireland, and the Irishman James Carroll from Newfoundland. Dennis Murphy's wife was Catherine Savage, and they were rejoining that Cork family group. Dennis Murphy's three brothers went instead to Upper Canada. James Carroll came across from Newfoundland with his brother-in-law, John Kennedy. Carroll's lot turned out to be useless, and he bargained for the location ticket and improvements of one Thomas Fox. Fox wrote to the government that he would "Willingly give up ... the Lot of Land that my Ticket Specifies ... to [James Carroll] ... as his lot is good for Nothing and he is married and I am single and am going to leave the Country." Single men could move on; married immigrants, having to fend for a family, were more likely to settle.

Figure 7.3 depicts the geographical arrangement and ethnic denomination of households on the Tormentine Peninsula in 1862. The Irish were concentrated along the east -- west alignment of the New Road, which followed not only the straight lines of compass bearings but the general trend of a natural ridge through the interior of the peninsula. Farming provided most of the livelihood for the Irish settlement, but the land was poor (although far from being the worst around), markets were local and small, and distant lumber camps provided seasonal work, barter, and perhaps a little cash. The Irish, by their interior location, were excluded from the fishery along the shores, where earlier arrivers had taken up suitable settlement sites. The Baie Verte shore was occupied first by American loyalists, among whom a couple of English families later arrived. English and Scots immigrants acquired most of the north shore and from there spread inland. The shoreline settlements, except for their French and Irish members, were started by immigrants arriving between 1783 and 1820. The French represented earlier movements, and the Irish were outliers of the New Road core."

Misc:
there were three Lanes in Farranalough in the Tithe Applottment records for Murragh parish (see http://www.bandon-genealogy.com/murragh-tithes.htm). Farranalough is about a km SE of Ballynamuck and about 10 km nw of Bandon

Residence:
The first to take advantage of the free land grants were the Lane brothers, Timothy and Aneas.3 They had arrived in Miramichi in June 1819. Another brother, William, joined them later in 1822, but he married just outside the community.4

The Lanes came from Ballynamuck (sometimes spelled Bally-na-moche), parish of Murragh (known then as Moragh) in West County Cork. It is located a few kilometres southwest of the Anglo-Irish town of Bandon. Many more related families would follow them.

William married Eliza Mitten 19 Oct 1852, , , New Brunswick, Canada. Eliza (daughter of Richard Mitton and Sarah Fallow) was born 15 Nov 1831, , , New Brunswick, Canada; died 23 Mar 1911. [Group Sheet]
