Notes for Helen Ormond "Ellen"

One day, I stumbled upon a Newspaper abstract from 1889 indicated that

Mrs. William Dooley had fallen while hanging curtains and had broken her

leg. She was over 70 at the time. She lived another 10 years!

Notes for William Dooley

Oral history indicates that William was from County Cork.

Supposedly he landed in Cape Breton Island, at Cape Breton

(a village on the North Eastern Shore of the island).

Supposedly, he made his way to North Sydney (North Bar)

where he was greeted by the Ormonds, who had emigrated

from Lismore, Waterford County. If he knew the family before

he left Ireland, it would mean that he probably lived south of Lismore

such as Youghal, Mitchelstown, or one of the Cork Villages along the

Blackwater River like Glendine.

At various times, he was a grocer and a laborer.

Notes for Honora Catherine Dooley "Nora"

Note about her date of birth: Date of Birth on the record (10 Sep 1849) is

from her Baptism Record. A Census record record indicates a date of birth

of 10 Sept. 1849. The 1901 Census record indicates her year of birth was 1852.

Automated Census of 1901:

Tobin Mary Elizabeth F Daughter S May 21 1874 26

Tobin John Francis M Son S Aug 21 1882 18

Tobin Perci James M Son S Nov 6 1885 15

Tobin Josephine B. F Daughter S Sep 10 1886 14

Her marriage record indicates that she

was 10 years younger than Richard. Oral history indicates

that she was 18 when my grandfather William Richard

was born. She was nearly 21.

Her death certificate of August 26, 1932 lists her as Hanora C

living at St. Theresa's Retreat 300 Barrington in Halifax. The

informant was Sister Lorreta Tobin, her daughter.

Obituary was in the Antigonish CASKET. Date of death in the Casket

was August 26, 1932. St. Joseph Parish record indicates that she died

on November 13, 1932. I used the death certificate and the Casket date!

Notes for Richard Francis Tobin

Lived at 52 Pleasant St., North Sydney. Seems that he was based in Channel

Newfoundland, St. Pierre, and North Sydney.

The following appeared in the North Sydney Newspaper under the heading:

Thrilling Escape from Death - Forty-eight hours in the Rigging of a Sunken

8


Vessel, then Rescued by Life Lines.

North Sydney, Nova Scotia, May 8, 1895: Capt. R.H. Tobin of North Sydney, has

arrived home, having lost his schooner, the Freddie Walter, on the Penguin

Islands, which consist of 22 rocks about ten miles from the rock bound coast,

where many a good ship and crew have met their fate. Capt. Tobin left St.

Pierre on the 19th ult. for this port in ballast. The following Tuesday

morning, a heavy breeze from the southwest came up. The pumps got choked.

They headed for Burgo. She was then about 80 miles from St. Pierre. The

weather became too thick to make Burgo; wore ship again; the pumps being now

free, and the course shaped for Miquelon. The wind veered southerly,

increasing to a gale, the foresail was carried away and the storm trisail was

bent in its stead. The foresail was repaired and set and the captain went down

in his cabin to take his position. While examining his charts, he heard his

crew shout "breakers". He at once rushed on deck and grabbed the helm and put

it to port. He was just a minute too late, for the vessel struck on the

western end of the rocks. The Captain shouted to stand by the ship. One poor

fellow, Thomas Power of Placentia Nfld. jumped for the rock and was not seen

afterwards. Two others jumped and landed safely on the rock. The vessel

lurched off the rock and began to sink rapidly, and about half a mile further

down a break was seen in the rocks into which she was driven. She sank to the

sheer poles, and the captain and another man took to the rigging, where they

remained for forty-eight hours. She struck at 10.30 a. m. on Tuesday the 23rd

ult. The first night they were in the rigging, the bottom was knocked out of

the vessel. Some fishing boats took the men off with difficulty. If the wind

had not subsided the men on the rock would have been washed away. As it was

they were hauled through the water to the fishing boats with the aid of life

lines and were greatly exhausted. Published in the Newfoundland Ancestor, 21/1/046.

The Census of 1901 lists his wife as a Widow so he died before March 1901.

Children of Honora Catherine Dooley "Nora" and Richard Francis Tobin were as follows:

+ 27 i William Richard4 Tobin "WR", born 27 Aug 1870 in Argentia,

DIES IN MONTREAL_Many friends, acquaintances and former students,

will learn with deep regret of the news of the death in Montreal, Sunday of

Rev. Sr. Prisca, Mother Superior of St Augustus Academy, and a native

of Sydney. Her passing following an illness of about a fortnight with

pneumonia and at her bedside when the end came was her brother, Rev. Fr.

Montreal about a week ago to Celebrate her Golden Jubilee. Recently the

beloved religious observed her golden jubilee as a member of the Order of the

Congregation de Notre Dame. Interment will be in Montreal, funeral to be

David A. Hearn (February 14, 1853 – ) was a lawyer and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada.

He represented RichmondCounty in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1886 to 1890 as a

Liberal-Conservative member. He was born in Arichat,Nova Scotia, the son of James Hearn, of

Irish origin, and Isabella Campbell, who came from Scotland. He was educated in Arichat and

was called to the Nova Scotia bar in 1878. In 1879, he married Elizabeth Ida Quinan. Hearn

served as a member of the council for Richmond County, as a school commissioner and was a

census commissioner in 1881. In 1891, he moved his practice to Sydney. Hearn advocated the

abolition of the province's Legislative Council. He married Bridget Mary Ormond in 1905

1917 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; buried 4 Nov 1917 in Holy Cross, North

Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, daughter of Martin Adolphe Camus "Adolph

Cames"and Lucy Boutilier.

Notes for William Richard Tobin "WR"

According to my aunt May Tobin (aka WR) was born in Argentia, Newfoundland. As she

told it, her grandparents were returning via their boat to their home in Channel

from visiting family in eastern Newfoundland when great grandmother went into labor.

They landed in Argentia Newfoundland where my Aunt May claimed that WR was born.

22


Grandfather listed Channel as his birthplace on official documents.

I have a copy of his Baptismal Certificate from Channel.

WR and his sister Mary Elizabeth were the only children born in Newfoundland.

The rest of the children were born in North Sydney.

WR attended Dalhousie until he was 20. I think he left to join the service and

I think that he was a veteran of the Boer War in South Africa and maybe even

saw action in South Africa. (I can't confirm it!) His grave in

Holy Cross Cemetery in North Sydney has a marker for the United

Empire Service League which indicates that he spent some time in the service.

After leaving Dalhousie he read for the Bar. On October 5, 1893, the CASKET

reported that he passed his Law Exams.

On July 23, 1895, the CASKET reported that he took the FINAL Law Exams.

On Sept. 19, 1895, the CASKET reported that he passed the FINAL Law Exams.

On October 24, 1895, the CASKET reported that he was admitted to the Bar on

October 17, 1895.

In 1896, he advertised that he was a Barrister - Solicitor - Attorney at Law -

Conveyancer practicing across from the Hotel Vendome in North Sydney.

In North Sydney, he was a Councilor.

Sometime about 1901 - 1902, he moved to Glace Bay. I'm speculating that

Grandfather wanted to move on because Glace Bay was starting to boom,

because he and his wife had lost their first child, a son (buried in Old St.

Joseph's) and because his father died about 1900 - 1901.

In 1902, he was a member of the Glace Bay Rugby Team, the championship team.

He was an Alderman in Glace Bay.

He was the town solicitor.

He was a Commissioner (an appointed member) of the Glace Bay School Board.

23


In 1907, he was visiting his mother at her Archbold S tNorth Sydney home when he noticed

fire coming from St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Convent St. According to my aunt, grandfather

raced to the church and saved the sacred vessels.

Mother and my aunt always thought that his death in 1922 was sudden. In reality,

he died of a heart condition that had been diagnosed about a year before.

He was stricken in the Court Room and taken to his home (on the way to

St. Joseph's Hospital in Glace Bay). He died before he reached the hospital.

Interestingly, the Death Certificate and Dooley Funeral Home records indicate that

Grandfather was born in North Sydney in March 1870. (The Dooley record

was the source of the Death Certificate.) I think that the oral history was correct and

have always used it

In the Diocese of Antigonish database, for her marriage to WR Tobin her surname was

recorded as Cames.

Children of William Richard Tobin "WR" and Mary Ann Camus "Nan" were as follows:

91 i Douglas Anselm5 Tobin, born 1901; died 1901 in North Sydney, Cape

Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; buried in Old St. Joseph's (Goat Hill), North

Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Notes: Douglas Anselm is buried

with his grandfather Tobin.

92 ii Mary Aloysia5 Tobin "May", born 22 Jun 1902 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton,

Nova Scotia, Canada; christened 29 Jun 1903 in St Anne's, Glace Bay, Cape

Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 25 Dec 1985 in Halifax, Halifax, Nova

Scotia, Canada; buried 28 Dec 1985 in Holy Cross, North Sydney, Cape

Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Notes: May Tobin was the true genealogist of

the North Sydney Tobins. When she was twelve, she was inoculated against

diseases that were brought back to Canada by returning soldiers. As a result of

an allergic reaction to the inoculation, May was left almost totally visually

impaired. Within ten years, she lost both parents while being educated at

Mount Saint Vincent in Halifax. Financial difficulties due to the death of her

father, forced May to leave the Mount and live at the School for the Blind in

Halifax. From there, she completed her Normal School education. She taught

French at the School for the Blind for over 40 years. She completed her career

in Middle Musquoduobit. May established a three year cycle of: a summer of

school, a summer with my family, a summer of travel to wonderful places -

the world capitals in Europe, the shrines in Europe, shrines in Ireland, major

24


cities in Canada and the USA. Her last international trip in the early 1980s

was to Australia and Fiji. May taught me French. I was so fluent that I took 2

years of High School French in the same year. Her Christmases and other

holidays were normally spent either with Ted and Nonie Lohnes or with the

MacIntyres in Halifax. (Nonie was a Tobin first cousin and they traveled

together after Ted died.) When she finally retired after 50 years of teaching,

she retired with her Normal School Certificate, a Bachelors, and enough

credits for a Masters. Not long after she retired, she was unable to read. She

had readers and writers - she still corresponded with a legion of friends. At my

urging, she wrote the oral history on both of my parents' families. May was

the best family genealogist that I have ever been exposed to. Her oral histories

were amazingly accurate. After she retired from teaching, she retired to St.

Patrick's Manor in Halifax. She died there on Christmad Day, 1985. Source:

93 iii Loretta Elizabeth5 Tobin "Ethel", born 7 Mar 1904 in Glace Bay, Cape

Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; christened 13 Mar 1904 in St Anne's, Glace

Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 22 Jan 1979 in Dedham,

Norfolk, Massachusetts, USA; buried 25 Jan 1979 in Mount St. Benedict,

Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA. Notes: My mother was born in Glace

Bay, Nova Scotia. Mom was christened at St. Anne's in Glace Bay, Because

of her mother's illness (breast cancer), Mom was sent to Mount Saint Vincent

Academy in Halifax as a teenager. She graduated in 1921 at age 17. After she

graduated in 1921 she attended Mount Saint Vincent College. She also began

reading for the Bar. The game plan was to join her father in his law firm when

she graduated from college in 1924. In 1922, when her father passed away,

she was a sophomore at Mount St. Vincent College. She completed the year

and returned to Glace Bay to teach at St. Anne's. She taught at St. Anne's until

1926. During her summer vacations from 1922 to 1925, she worked for the

Dominion Coal Company in Glace Bay. In 1926, because of the miner's strike,

Mom left Glace Bay to work in Boston for the summer-time. She stayed in

Boston. Mom met Leo Petrie, from Dominion, married him and had 5

pregnancies. In 1936, the Petrie family moved to Dedham where she raised

her 3 sons. On January 16, 1939. she was naturalized under the name of

Lorretta Elizabeth Petrie. In 1946, after I started school, Mom returned to

work. She had a variety of jobs. She was a bookkeeper and clerk at

Rosen'sHardware. She was a bookkeeper and clerk at North American

Aluminum. She was a partner at Atlantic Aluminum. She was a clerk at Tobe

Deutchmann Electronics. She was a cashier at Stop and Shop. She was a

bookkeeper at the Dedham Transcript and at Ziegler's Market. In addition, she

was a substitute teacher in the Dedham school system. Also, she demonstrated

consumer products for two manufacturers at local retail grocery stores. She

also taught at home - private tutoring neighbor's children and her kids. It was a

25


pro bono, volunteer activity which she loved. Our house was always full of

relatives and friends. Often, we kids would go to bed and wake up the next

day on couches because our parents needed beds for guests to sleep in. My

Mom's sister stayed with us every third summer. Molly Petrie stayed with us

every January and April! Many of Mom's Cape Breton cousins often visited.

In the 1950s, Mom became active in the local chapter of the Mount Saint

Vincent's Alumnae Association. For over two decades she served as President

or as another officer in the local chapter. Hobbies: Playing cards, teaching her

10 grandchildren to play cards, ironing, crossword puzzles. reading novels,

and writing poetry. Mom died in her sleep of a stroke. Source: Joe Petrie

Notes for John Francis Tobin

Where do I start to write about Uncle John!

Uncle John worked in the retail and wholesale food business most of his adult

life. In North Sydney, he worked in the family and his business. (His father operated

a Schooner between Channel, North Sydney and Miquelon-St. Pierre. His father

appeared to be based in Miquelon.)

27


On Nov 7, 1923, his family crossed the border at Vanceboro Maine on their way to Boston.

The move was long planned - discussed with his friends and family for at least a year.

Uncle John was employed by the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company (A&P).

He was a Store Manager and eventually moved to the regional headquarters on

Atlantic Avenue in Boston. After he retired from the A&P, he worked part-time

as a salesman for Statler Tissue Company, a manufacturer of paper napkins,

paper towels etc.

While I was in high school, because I used to visit him and Aunt Agatha in

their home in Watertown, I had a special relationship with them. Until I saw

him on his death bed, I had never seen him without a starched shirt and a tie.

Because Mom worked part-time for him at Statler and because I often travelled

with Mom and he when he had her working as a "Demonstrator" for him in a store

Manchester NH, I'd stay at St. Anselm College with other relatives of the

priests. I probably knew him best!

Our family was a frequent visitor to their house in Somerville and in

Watertown. I suspect that the family dreaded seeing our family arrive because

we three boys were hellions. I thought that the Watertown house was great

because one could see Oakley Golf Course.

Uncle John occasionally had the chore of burying his siblings. It took a

special person to attend to all the details. He buried my grandfather and his

sister Josephine (Aunt Josie).

After Aunt Agatha died, Uncle John lived with his daughter Tippi.

Notes for Catherine Agatha MacIsaac "Agatha"

Do of James and Bridget.

Note: The Census of Canada for 1901 indicates that she was born on 6 Feb 1890.

Children of John Francis Tobin and Catherine Agatha MacIsaac "Agatha" were as follows:

97 i Pierce John5 Tobin "Fr. Ben", born 12 Sep 1919 in North Sydney, Cape

Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 21 Mar 1984 in Boston, Suffolk,

Massachusetts, USA; buried 24 Mar 1984 in St Leander's Cemetery, St.

Anselm Abbey, Bedford, Hillsborough, New Hampshire, USA. Notes: Father

Ben was named Pierce after his granduncle Pierce (who in turn as was the

Irish custom was probably named for his maternal grandfather). At a very

early age, Father Ben rebelled at being called Percy and announced that he

wanted to be called Jackie. He attended school in North Sydney, Somerville,

28


and at Boston College High School in Boston. He went on to Boston College

from BC High. He graduated from St. Anselm College in Manchester NH.

Jackie always wanted to become a priest and applied for the Jesuits while at

Boston College. He was not accepted - too many applicants and not enough

facilities. One day that summer, he gave two Nuns a ride and in the

conversation one remarked that he should try the Benedictines at St. Anselm

Monastery in Manchester NH. He and his two friends applied, were accepted,

professed vows together, and were ordained together in Manchester NH on

May 30. 1946. His first Solemn Mass was on June 9, 1946. Father Ben took

the vow of Stability, forever linking him to St. Anselm Abbey. During the

period before his ordination, he took assignments in New Jersey along with

other monks of St. Anselm. Fathers Justin Mahoney, Jeremiah Ahearn,

Andrew Lavallee, Felix Pepin, Charles Tucke, and Benedict Tobin, monks of

Saint Anselm, all became much loved confreres in both Newark and

Morristown. He did graduate work in the Classics in Canada and taught Latin

at St. Anselm College from the 40s into the 60s. He also did part-time parish

work in New Hampshire. In the 1960s, he took parish assignments in

Louisiana and in Iowa. After completing the parish assignments, he lived with

his sister's family in Massachusetts. After he returned to the Abbey, he was a

frequent guest at my parents house. After my Dad died, because Mom did not

drive, he and my Mom were frequently transported to St. Mary's in Dedham

for him to say Mass by friends and they even used the Senior Citizen Bus for

transportation. In the latter part of his life, he was frequently hospitalized in

Boston at St. John of God Hospital and St. Elizabeth's Hospital. He probably

spent more time in Boston than at the Monastery. Father Benedict died in

Boston and is buried in St. Leander's Cemetery at St. Anselm's Abbey in

Bedford, New Hampshire. Source: Joe Petrie, AB, St. Anselm's College, Class

98 ii Loretta Lucille5 Tobin, born 10 Aug 1921 in North Sydney, Cape Breton,

Nova Scotia, Canada; died 9 Feb 1974. Notes: My first memory of Lucille

was meeting her after she returned to civilian life after serving in the US Navy

during WW II. She met Stan when she was in her forties and they lived in

New York and Pennsylvania.

99 iii Teresita Aloysia5 Tobin, born 30 Oct 1924 in Somerville, Middlesex,

Massachusetts, USA; died 19 Jun 2007 in North Dartmouth, Bristol,

Massachusetts, USA. Notes: Tippi was a cousin that everyone loved to be

around. She was talented - sang, danced played musical instruments etc. She

met her husband Jim, a teacher in Boston, when he was entertaining at a

restaurant. They met rather late in both the lives. They had 3 children, their

two boys had learning disabilities. Tippi's attitude was that God sends Special

People only to Special People!
