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 Hanorah K. F Head W Sep 10 1852 48
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

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.

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

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
Joseph F. Petrie, Founding Member, Friends of Irish Research
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.

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

Notes for Mary Ann Camus "Nan"
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

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:

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

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
Joseph F. Petrie, Founding Member, Friends of Irish Research
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
Joseph F. Petrie, Founding Member, Friends of Irish Research
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!
