A deep gloom was cast over the community on Tuesday, Feb 7, when it was learned that Mrs. Harvey Murray had passed away at her home, after an illness of a few days. She was the former Gladys Maynes and was born in the United States, coming here as a young bride where she has resided ever since. Of a kind and loving disposition and noted for her generosity to the poor, she will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
After a short funeral service at her residence, the remains were forwarded to Zion Robertson's United Church where the pastor Rev. W. K. Pace was assisted by Rev. Mr. Kingsbury of the Anglican Church at Mulgrave and Rev. Mr. Robins of the United Church at West Bay. The church choir was in attendance and sang favorite hymns of the deceased "Abide With Me" "Nearer My God To Thee" and "Oh God Our Help In Ages Past."
The late Mrs. Murray is survived by her husband, three daughters, Mrs. Cy, Gauld of Port Hawkesbury, Mrs. Ernie MacPhee of West Bay and Mrs. Wilbur Urquhart of Grand Anse and one son Walter at home. Her mother Mrs. Sarah LeLacheur, also resides in Port Hawkesbury, and a sister, Mrs. Dorothy Carrigan of Port Hawkesbury.
The pall bearers were: R Williams, Ernie MacKay, Fred Jones, Lloyd Urquhart, Lorne Reynolds and Allister MacInnes.
The many floral tributes, letters, cards and telegrams of sympathy which were received, testify to the high esteem in which the deceased was held.

The 1901 census shows his occupation as a mariner. The 1911 census shows his occupation as a plummer. He was still living at home in 1911. Harvey's brother Walter Wesley, or more fondly remembered by family as Uncle Wes; I have found his date of death in the LDS, U.S. Social Security Death Index - which pretty much coincides with the info in Harvey's obituary...date of death Oct 1966, Detroit, Wayne Co., Michigan - don't have a day yet. The family story goes that he was on his roof making repairs, when he fell to his death at age of 84...There appears to be an error in the Death Index as it shows his year of birth as 1883, where his baptismal record and 1901 census clearly state 1882..

It sure appears that this is our Wesley, the only item that sticks out is the year of birth, although I'm starting to think that maybe it was Dec 1883, as he was baptized in Jan 1884...I'll have to try and find his birth record at the NS Archives, and confirm it once and for all. Also, his next of kin, I suppose one can assume this is Mrs Walter Wesley...he would have been 35 or so when he enlisted, and can assume he was married? Although, no one in Cape Breton seems to know whether he was married or not? I'll have to talk to Aunt Jeannie again...
