Charles Smith & Sarah Malone Clan

Charles M Smith was the son of John Smith and Catherine, Kate, Vincent, born in Wentworth, NS.  He married Sarah Jane Malone, the daughter of James William Malone and Nancy Jane Ramsey.  Together they had 11 children that I could find and it appears 2 or 3 of them died young – George, Mary and William Smith are only found on one or two censuses.

James A Smith, the eldest was a carpenter who relocated to Massachusetts and married Sarah ‘Emma’ Chetwynd, the daughter of Moses Chetwynd and Agnes Robertson.  He was buried in his wife’s family plot at the Port Clyde Cemetery, Port Clyde, NS.

Jane Maud Smith was married twice.  First she married Edward Evertt MacLean who hailed from Yarmouth, NS and was the son of Charles MacLean & Elizabeth Perry.  Then she married James William Gillis, also from Yarmouth and was the son of Stephen Gillis & Mary Lent.  She died sometime after 1940 and was last found in Arlington, MA.  Both men were carpenters.

Joseph Edward Smith followed his father into farming and married Harriet Emma Robertson, the daughter of Joseph Robertson and Annie Acker.  They are both buried at the McKenzie Cemetery in Pugwash, NS.

Arthur T Smith was married and had one son, Joseph. I couldn’t track all of his movements but it looks like he was in Massachusetts at one point and no luck with a marriage entry but he was listed as widowed on his death entry.  I would like to think he died enjoying the view based on his obit:

Postman Finds Man Dead, Sitting in Chair

West New Annan, March 2 - Arthur Smith, who lived alone in his home on Florida Road, was discovered dead Thursday, when the postman in the district investigated after Mr. Smith failed to collect his mail, delivered the previous two days.

Percy Patriquin, delivering the mail on R.R.1 Wentworth, with Kelley Letcher, car driver, on Wednesday had a pension cheque for Mr. Smith. He failed to meet the mailman.  On Thursday when he again failed to appear, the mailman asked his driver to take the cheque into the house, Mr. Fletcher found the door locked, but saw the elderly gentleman sitting in his rocking chair. Neighbors were notified and the police called. Later in the day an investigation was held. Those present were Dr. Dan Murray, Constable J.L. Lewis, Barrister William Neilson, Tatamagouche; Edward Smith, Malagash, brother of the deceased; Kelly Letcher, and Mr. Smith's nearest neighbors.

It was decided at this inquiry that an inquest was not necessary. The deceased was last seen by a neighbor, Russell Flanagan, on last Sunday, sawing wood outside his home. Neighbors cannot recall seeing any light or smoke from the house since that time, and groceries purchased on the previous Friday were still unopened.

Deceased was in his 86th year and was born in Wentworth, Cumberland County, and was a veteran of World War One.  He settled in New Annan about four years ago.

He is survived by one son Joseph in the United States; one sister, Maude, Arlington, Mass.; three brothers, Edward, Malagash; Martin, Ontario; and Sidney, Kemptown.
