year--2013. Just maybe Yarmouth will be
able to see news of a ferry pulling into port
once more. I am sure visitors to this site
and to Yarmouth would welcome having one
again! Yarmouth is just as beautiful as
the last time you came so please make plans to
come back again.
You can still come and see this wonderful
town--you just have to enjoy the long ride--but
it is well worth it. When do you plan your
next trip to Yarmouth?

Comments: Greetings Wellington. While reading
through the recent posts, I found one requesting
old pictures of Wellington. Unfortunately, I
don't have any of their house but I do have some
of mine. I was born in Yarmouth and lived at
what is now 1942 Evangaline Trail. I attended
Wellington School which was directly across the
road from the Wellington Hall.The school was one
room and the teacher taught grades 1A through 9.
I think it was 1955 when the school was closed
and we were bussed to the new consolidated
school in Hebron. On Sundays we would attend
church services at the "Hall", which were
conducted by Rev. O'Grady from Hebron. At
Christmas time there would be a Christmas party
at the Hall and us kids had to do recitations
which I hated. It was fun though and of course
all the mothers brought cookies & candies to
hand out.I have sent some old pictures to the
Webmaster to put on the Wellington site. Wish I
had more. Pierce's mill was down the hill from
my house and it provided us kids with endless
opportunites to get into mischief. The Millpond
was a place to sail out homemade rafts and the
stream leading from the mill had some of the
best trout holes in the area. Fond memories of a
bygone era.

Comments: Hello my name is Jay Gaudette and I'm
attempting to do family history.
I'm having a problem identifying who my 1st
Great Grandmother is.
She was married to Timothy Olivier Gaudette
(has various spellings) born 13 Feb 1856 in
Melbourne, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Just
about everything I see shows Vénérante
Comeau as being his wife.
My difficulty arises because I have a copy of my
Grandfather Hebert Martin Gaudette
Marriage Certificate showing his mother as Mary
C. Comno.
I realize that the clerk at the City of
Boston probably misspelled “Comeau” as
“Comno.” But the “Mary C.” does not sound
like “Vénérante.”
On the LDS Family Search site I find a reference
to Mary Comeau being born on 8 July 1875 In
Shaticamp, Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada to Marin
Comeau and Natalie Theriau and there are other
variations of spellings for the father, mother
and daughter (the wife of Timothy Olivier
Gaudette.)
Of course, his name has had various spelling
also. He was born Gaudet, while on at
least two Canadian census it was spelled Godet
and on the ship’s manifest to the United States
at was spelled with my Gaudette spelling.
My questions sound simple, but I’m aware that
they are not.
1. Was Vénérante actually
Marie Vénérante?
2. If No: then who is
Timothy’s wife, Mary (Marie) or Vénérante?
3. If Mary: if Marin and
Natalie are her parents, would you have any idea
who then is beyond them? Dead ends are
everywhere.
4. If Vénérante: do you know
which set of parents are hers?
I have been able to have 160 Comeau family
members in my tree, but I find it so funny that
the one most direct to me, is giving me the
hardest time.
I respectfully request that if you know any or
all of the answers to the above questions, would
you be kind enough to provide me with the
answers or some hints as to what direction I
should take.
My g-mail address is jaygtt@gmail.com I will
understand if you can’t provide the answers.
Thank for taking the time to read my note.
Regards,
Jay

Comments: South End of my youth full of optimism
and vision
After a recent trip to Yarmouth I was thinking
about growing up in the South End of the town
between 1951-72. In fact I submitted a copy of
this to the Vanguard. Yarmouth South was a
magical place to grow up. It is such a
shame like places like the Temple Church and
many of the large homes are in such disrepair in
2013. The new Mayor has a big job on her plate.
But she seems to be up for the task. I wish her
luck.
Even the seasons in that place bring back such
vivid memories.The spring brought the smell of
burning grass around Queen Street and the sight
of kites flying over the golf links from my
kitchen window. The long days of summer summoned
hikes to Bunker Island & playing with the
neighbour hood kids till dark. Fall would
introduce the excitement of the first day of
school and walks along William Street, windy
nights and a magical Halloween. Finally winter
would bring with it skating on Allan’s Pond and
hockey behind Notre Dame church, Playground
Christmas treats, McGuiness Family playing
Christmas music from their house widow’s walk on
bond Street. What are your memories of growing
up in South end?
The biggest difference I can see between the
Yarmouth South of my youth and today is exactly
what was said in the editorial. That part of
town is missing a strategic vision and a
community anchor. Rumor has it the new council
is going to review all of the former strategic
plans already done for the town and blend them
together into one for 2013. I think this is a
good start.
In my time the vision came from my neighbors.
They included Willard Allen, Harry and Sadie
Goudey, Ernie and Myrtle Wilson, Mr. and Mrs.
McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Rozee, Margaret Cann,
Don and Myrtle Dunn, Emily and Gus Doucette, the
Brush family, the Bishara and Crosby families
and finally my own Mom and Dad, Earl and
Marilyn. Their vision was simple, anything was
possible in your life if you came from South end
Yarmouth. These people all left unique imprints
on my character that I was to draw on all during
my life. There isn’t one of these individuals
that I couldn’t tell you something amazing
about. The community Anchor was Notre Dame
church and Amirault’s store. One gave the
residents purpose and the other gave them pride.
I know I would be considered an outsider now if
I ever moved back to Yarmouth. It is one of my
only life regrets that saw my career path take
me away from my soul place. I laugh sometimes
when I hear that other parts of Yarmouth think
of South End as the poor part of town. This
considering residents of HRM probably things the
same provincially about Yarmouth in general. It
is time to end this mind set about Yarmouth that
there are rich and poor parts. Trust me, in life
money is never the measuring stick used to
determine character. And that is one thing
Yarmouth South and its residents have always had
in spades.
To conclude: I wish all the best to the people
and council of the town. Hopefully by working
together and embrassing change the town of
Yarmouth can once again be a place of vision and
hope.

Comments: Massive Mako Shark Caught off
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
This mako shark was hooked in the mouth off the
coast of wave rich Nova Scotia, fought slightly
for fifteen minutes, came up along side of the
boat to have a look, which was just long enough
for one of the crew to put a rope around it
tail.
That’s when the shit really hit the fan.
The shark took off, towing the 42-foot fishing
boat backwards through the water at about 7
knots-just like in the movie Jaws. The boat was
taking on water and the shark would jump
completely out of the water at times. This went
on for an hour before the shark actually
drowned.
The big guy weighed in at 1035lbs.

officially over for another year, but we all
know that Mothers are precious every day of the
year ... so, to all you Mothers out there ...
Have a Happy everyday, you deserve it.
I posted this poem over facebook the other day,
commemorating Mothers' Day, so I thought I'd
share it with those of you tuned in to this
site.
(If one were to listen to Loran Fevens'
"Sentimental Journey" on Sunday evenings, one
might just hear something I composed for
whatever special occasion.)
I am back home for good, now, and I can't tell
you how wonderful it is to be here. So, a little
late, but here's to all the fantastic people out
there who are lovingly called, "Mother" ... or
"Mom".
Mom And Dad
E.W. Smith
'Wasn't much more of a kid,
myself
When Junior came along.
That's when I first learned to change a diaper
...
And, yes ... I got it wrong.
We would wheel that child all over town
In that old carriage Mary had.
How proud we felt when that child learned to
say;
I wuv you, Mom and Dad.
Time sure flies ... I'm
tellin' ya.
The kid was turning five.
We registered our son in the neighbourhood
school
And, we watched the young fella strive.
He got on well with the kids his age
And, was soon a Grade School Grad.
When he walked on stage, he mouthed us these
words;
I Love you, Mom and Dad.
Those teenage years sure are tough.
They certainly were for me.
So, at times when he tripped on some mental
bump,
We just let bygones be.
He would play his summer baseball games
And would try each new passing fad.
And ... our eyes would shine each time he'd
say;
I Love you, Mom and Dad.
Yeah ... time sure passes quickly.
he started dating Julie-Anne.
And, before we knew what was happening,
They had their wedding planned.
We were slow to offer our blessings,
Tho ... deep down inside, we were glad.
When we did, he smiled with those six precious
words;
I Love you, Mom and Dad.
The big day came and the church was full.
'Came the groom and the stunning bride.
I was so overwhelmed with so many thoughts ...
And, yes. I'll admit it. ... I cried.
Then came the big reception.
We were as happy as heck ... yet, so sad.
How we smiled when they uttered those six
little words;
We Love you, Mom and Dad.
Mary and I are grandparents, now.
And, those kids are nearly all grown.
We have this old house all to ourselves
But, seldom are we all alone.
The kids would come by and we'd laugh and we'd
cry
At the up-to-date news that they had.
When leaving, they'd whisper those
heart-warming words;
We Love you, Mom and Dad.
Well ... time gets the better of all of us.
And, Mary and I got ... the call.
No sadness required. We've had a good life
And we seem to be loved by all.
Each week our kids would drive out to our home
To talk of the week they just had.
Then, those beautiful words, they leave on our
tomb ...
We Love you, Mom and Dad.

Comments: My very first trip to Yarmouth
was in 1930. And since then all i have always
said,it is the last place God built on this
earth. I few years back we were there for the
the reunion of Arcadiens. And the LeBlanc clan
registered at St Annes @ Church Point. There
were 4000 of us LeBlanc's from all corners of
the states. That couple of weeks was a party
second to none. To go back a litle in time i
have been to Pinkney's Point at least 60 times
in my 84 years. But it was always Grand Ma's,
later ny parents who went back to retire from
New York, and then Cousins i would visit. But
then i decided on one visit to see Nova Scotia
and we took a 10 day trip up the south shore
across and down the north shore, staying in B
& B's. The History that Lonfellow wrote in
his book Evengline is a drop in the bucket to
what we learned. The melting pop Of French,
Scot's, Germans, and yes the brutal English. I
say that it's they at one point in time took
over the area from those who worked so hard to
set up. They took all the Arcadiens and set them
out on boats seperating men women and children.
Explaing why you have French Canadians up and
down the whole eastern seaboard ending in New
Orleans. After some years later the Arcadiens,
did regain some of there loses. So here iam born
in Brooklyn N.Y. with 4000 + cousins all
descended from one Family LeBlanc who came to
Nova Scotia And when you add, the
Surette's, Saulniers, Potiers. Boudreau's
Belliveau's and many others explains why i say
it was the last place God built on this
Planet My tip of the day take a B & B
trip around Nova Scotia
Note Daniel LeBlanc born 1626 in
France came to Nova Scotia and married Francoise
Godet in 1650 in Port Royal and had several sons
to start the Clan LeBlanc

I am trying to find a Warren Surette who is
originally from Malden, Massachusetts and part
of the 1964 graduating class (making him 65 to
68 years of age).
I have worked on our class reunions over the
last 20 years. We have a 50th reunion
coming up in April of 2014 and another classmate
of ours was recently visiting Nova Scotia and
ran into Warren, who now lives on Surette’s
Island (and I believe has for quite some time).
I am hoping you might have an address, phone or
email for Warren, as he has, up to now, been on
a “Missing List” for our class!
Warren did tell the other classmate that it is
too far to travel for the reunion for him, but I
thought perhaps he might enjoy an occasional
class email and a reconnection with the class.
Any information you might have is appreciated,

My grandmother, Margaret Hilton Kelly, was born

Elizabeth, father, John, and 3 brothers
and 2 sisters they moved to California in 1872.
Margaret's aunt Thirsa, who lived in
Carleton, came to visit us in Merced, California
in the 1930s.
I traveled with my grandmother, and my
mother, Anne Elizabeth McHenry, to Yarmouth by
over night boat from Boston in 1951. Mary Wyman,
a Carleton teacher and cousin met us in
Yarmouth and drove us to Carleton where we
stayed several nights, meeting family members
and visiting family grave sites.
I plan to come back to Carleton sometime in the
near future to visit existing relatives, family
grave sites and do family research.
I believe Hilton Kelly was either my great
grandfather's brother or cousin. Do you have any

is a prominente part of my grandmother's name.

Comments: My new book, Beyond Acadia,
is out. May be viewed at: http://www.billboudreau.com/beyond-acadia.html
Although Beyond Acadia reads as a memoir,
fiction interweaves Joseph Guillaume’s thoughts,
fears, aspirations, interpretations, moods, and
perceptions. Historical events’ times and
settings are very close, if not exact, to actual
happenings. Real and imaginary places,
fabricated and altered names, invented
characters and those based on the living or dead
stream the passages and embellish the stories.
Bill Boudreau’s novel, Redemption Island, makes
many references to sequences and narratives in
this book.
Thank you Godfrey.

Comments: I really enjoyed your website.
My husband's grandfather (Nelson Amero - or
Amirault), was from Middle East Pubnico,
and my husband and I visited Yarmouth and the
Pubnicos (and all of Nova Scotia) in the late
'80's and again in 2008. It was wonderful
to see the photos and learn about the
history. I have been doing some
genealogical research into both my grandmother's
side of my family (Agnes E. Amero from
Doucetteville, NS, and my husband's
grandfather's side (Nelson Amero, from
Pubnico). Thank you!

Comments: To the finest town in North America
... my home town:
Come Down To Nova Scotia (And Visit Yarmouth
Town) E.W. Smith
Come on down to Nova Scotia
And, hear the gentle sigh
Of an ocean rubbing up against
A diamond 'neath the sky
And, when you get to driving,
Take the time to look around ...
And, spend a precious day or two
Down in Yarmouth town.
Go to Freddy Emin's Butcher Shop;
Better service you won't find ...
And, the clams at Mern's are wonderful things
To curb one's appetite.
Take a comfy room at The Grand Hotel
'Cross the way from old Frost Park ...
Then, sit and watch the harbor lights
When the skies above are dark.
There's the Red and White down on Argyle
Just on the corner of Main ...
And, the prices here are not so dear
To cause your wallet pain.
The Dinner Plate up Milton 'way
Stands out ... and, I'll tell you why ...
There is no finer place to go
For down home rappie pie.
When the skies are blue over Cape Forchu
And, the ocean is serene ...
When the winds are calm and the clouds are few
It's such a peaceful scene.
The tides do ebb and the tides do neap
All along my old home shore ...
They're the welcome mat, so please come back
To visit us once more.

Comments: This coming year will be a great one
for Yarmouth. For those visiting this page
and haven't heard---Yarmouth is getting a ferry
for 2014! It will start in May and run
through October.
If you thought about visiting Nova Scotia,
coming home to Yarmouth for just visiting a
piece of heaven--this year you can! The
welcome mat is out and there is so much to see
and do. The ferry is the Nova Star and you
can check it out on line.
Families can be reunited and new friends will be
made for sure.
I am so glad this page is a part of Yarmouth's
future!
