“(By the Canadian Press.) Edmundston, N.B., October 10.––Victim of a sudden heart attack, Archibald Fraser, Edmundston, president of Fraser Companies, Limited, and a director of the Royal Bank of Canada and other financial organizations, dropped dead four miles from his hunting lodge at Nictau, on the Tobique River in Victoria County, at 1 p.m. today.

The Kincardineshire Colony

New Kincardineshire, August, 23, 1873

“Several rather serious accidents have recently occurred in this settlement, two to workmen from their axes; two, to little children in play with edge tools; one to a lumbermen in felling a tree; and while these have been surmounted with less or more pain and loss of time, a more serious calamity occurred on Thursday to two settlers, B.

The Telegraph first gives an account of the gathering of the colonists at Aberdeen and Continue reading →
