| 101 | OBITUARY Bernard G. Kuhn 1921 - 2018 RAMONA Our dear dad passed away at home on December 19, 2018 after a short illness, with his daughters there to comfort him.Bernie Kuhn was born in Woodlawn, Nova Scotia, growing up during the Depression on his family's market garden/dairy farm. His first car was a Model T, and Dad was keen on road trips in any vehicle! He found farm life interesting but demanding and looked forward to Christmas and school holidays, when he could fish with his friends on Porters Lake.By the age of 17, Dad's parents had passed away, and the six children stayed with different relatives. Dad went to agricultural college with the idea of taking over the family farm, but this was not a good fit. He worked for the telephone company, then joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1943, becoming a navigator. His adventures included landing on the icefield of a pristine island off Greenland, with polar bears swatting at the plane overhead.As a master's degree student in electrical engineering at McGill, Dad and his brother David, also in the RCAF, met and married Montral sisters Marion (Elyse) and Marilyn in a double wedding. Bernie and Elyse enjoyed Air Force life and started their family. Bernie then worked with MIT-Lincoln Labs in Massachusetts developing radars, and the family became U.S. citizens.Enjoying new places, they moved to California, New York, and tiny Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, with its melting pot of Americans, Micronesians, and Asians, and an amazing number of parties.Bernie had great times sailing with buddies, winning a 40-mile race from Kwaj to Roi Namur. The parties continued when close Kwaj friends Bob and Joan Burke moved back to California.As Bernie neared retirement, they settled in Ramona with its spectacular views and sense of community.Dad became President of the Ramona Municipal Water District Board and dedicated the Lake Ramona dam. He enjoyed Rotary Club, initiated the Adopt-a-Student program at the Panamerican Institute (a junior high school in Tijuana), and supported Elyse in her successful efforts to build a new library.Dad was proud when his grandfather's 2,300 acres in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia were transferred to the province, creating the Peter McNab Kuhn Conservation Area. He and his siblings then honored their father with a university scholarship in his name. Dad also valued his daughters' accomplishments as parents, their artistic and culinary abilities, success at work, and cohesiveness and caring.Bernie loved and admired his wife, Elyse, beyond their 65 years of life together, half of it in their home on a Ramona hilltop amidst roadrunners, hummingbirds, hawks, and quail. He could build or fix anything and always had a project underway, including painting a giant roadrunner on the side of their house.Dad's heart remained in two places, taking great pleasure in his children, grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren in the U.S., and visiting Nova Scotia and his extended family each year. He traveled with Elyse to Thailand, Hong Kong, and Spain and explored the U.K., Mexico, the Great Lakes, and Alaska with his daughters.You could recognize Dad anywhere by his bolo tie and driving cap; his boyish sense of humor (including carting the dog around in a wheelbarrow); his curiosity about the world and our family's history, which he shared through writing; his embrace of responsibility, helping others, and willingness to always do a good job; and his larger-than-life presence.In recent years, Dad revealed more of his underlying feelings, and he inspired us with his appreciation and the courage in which he crossed over into the next world. May our dad rest in peace, joining those he loves.He was preceded in death by his wife, Elyse, parents Jessie and Max, sister Barbara, brother William, and grandson Jamie. He will be missed greatly by his brother and sisters David, Jessie, and Mary, daughters Diane, Nancy and Leslie, grandchildren Charles, Jenny, Sandra, Russell, Robert, Geoffrey, and Joseph, great-grandchildren John, Mary, Sean, Paige, Casey, Kyla, Austin, Evelyn, Noelle, and Ian, and great-great-grandchildren Hollis and Lynnette.Donations celebrating Bernie's life may be sent to The Nature Conservancy (nature.org), Panamerican Institute (paischool.org), or the P. Max Kuhn Scholarship, Dalhousie University (800-565-9969). The memorial service will be at noon, Saturday, March 2 at First Congregational Church, 404 8th Street, Ramona, CA.

| 115 | Revolutionary War British Loyalist Printer, Newspaper Publisher, Postmaster, War of 1812 Spy. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he began his printing apprenticeship as a printer to Richard Draper, the King's printer in Massachusetts, publisher of the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News Letter which was the oldest English newspaper in America. It is believed by historians that John Howe witnessed and wrote the article on the Boston Tea Party which appeared in the December 23, 1773 issue of the paper. Upon the death of Richard Draper in June, 1774, the newspaper was left to his widow, Margaret Draper. John Howe continued to work for Margaret Draper, a Loyalist, and was given the assignment to cover and write the article on the Battle of Bunker Hill. John Howe became a partner of Margaret Draper and was listed as the publisher of the paper from October 13, 1775 until the final issue on February 22, 1776. He returned to Halifax and published his own paper, the Halifax Journal from December 28, 1780 to 1819 as well as being Postmaster of Halifax. From April 1808 to January 1809 he served as a spy for the British Minister and traveled to America to interview President Thomas Jefferson and President-elect James Madison to gain intelligence before the War of 1812 was declared. He was the father of Nova Scotia patriot and journalist, Joseph Howe. John Howe died in Halifax. Margaret Draper returned to England and died there.

| 116 | Roach/Roache surname is found in Halifax and Annapolis but there is no evidence to connect Ann Roach to any of these families. Many connections of the Roach family are with British military. Also the majority, when noted, originate from County Wexford or County Cork in Ireland. In-depth research related to Ann Roach would be required but may be no records, other than her marriage. | ROACH, Ann (I516)

|
| 119 | Some suggestion that father of William was Thomas Frost. While inconclusive evidence, a Thomas Frost did emigrate to Nova Scotia from England, as part of the "Cornwallis" settlers in 1749. In Planters and Pioneers (Esther Clark Wright), the entry states for Thomas Frost: Halifax, 1749, weaver, Baltimore (ship), 1 male, a female above 16, 1752. (p. 119) Several other Frost individuals named in this book but all were settled in Shelburne or Annapolis counties and their lines can be easily traced as being in those areas for several generations and no connection to Thomas Frost found. | FROST, William (I13)

| 136 | Transcribed from obituary in the Halifax Mail Star newspaper: "The little cottage, with its four stone walls was razed more than three years ago. It was the original homestead of Peter McNab, 3rd, who was the father of Ellen McNab, who has just passed away on September 2, 1934 and was built on McNab's island. Miss Ellen McNab was the last remaining member of the McNab family, and although little is known of the actual history, it is believed by local historians that Miss McNab lived for some time in the little stone cottage on the island, The cottage was destroyed by fire some years ago, and in May 1931 it was torn down. With the passing of Miss Ellen McNab recently, in her 95th year, associations of historical importance are brought to the minds of many. Miss McNab was the daughter of the Peter McNab 3rd, and for many years resided on McNabs Island in the days when transportation was provided by rowboat and sailboat in the summer and winter. McNabs Island received its present name aft6er it was purchased by her ancestors from the Cornwallis family. The deceased had lived for a number of years with her nieces on Birmingham Street, leaving for Quebec in the spring and planning to return this fall. In accordance with her wishes, she will be buried next to her father in the family lot adjoining the fort on McNabs Island. The sale of the island property to the government was conditional and provided that the roads to the cemetery on the island and to the shore from the cemetery were to be kept in condition and repair by the Government. It also provided that Miss McNab was to be interred there alongside the grave of her father. The Hon. James McNab, for many years the Receiver General of the province of N.S., was a brother of the deceased. | MCNAB, Ellen (I139)

| 138 | Various documents have the middle name of Jane as Tod or Todd. | CASSELS, Jane Tod(d) (I306)
|
| 139 | While parish records are available through Scotlands People going back to the 1600s it is a challenge that the name Peter is somewhat of a scarcity in Perthshire, and in particular, Killin that is reputed to be the birthplace of this McNab family. It was suggested in one or two resources that perhaps the birth is registered as Patrick. Further research does support that in Scotland Patrick and Peter were to a degree used interchangeably. It is also mentioned that Peter was sometimes used as a diminutive for Patrick. "In Scotland the two names Patrick and Peter are often interchangeable due to the similarity of Peter to the Gaelic Pàtair [Anglicized as Patrick]. Although not strictly synonyms, the interchangeability is so common across Scotland that we classify them as such." http://www.whatsinaname.net/php/search.php?action=search2&search_name=Peter | MCNAB, Peter (I1)
