  • 27 September 1915-30 August 1917

A very few gave their nationality as Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, or Syrian.

A few notations, such as "stopped by mother," "discharged," "wife objected" or "rejected," are recorded in the margins. Occasionally, the name of the recruiter -- H. V. Dewar, Herman G. Smith, or ? McDowell -- and the place of recuitment -- St. George, St. Andrews, Castalia -- are given. The entries are in several different hands.

On the record book's cover is printed "Hospital Admission & Discharge Book". The recruitment entries begin at the back of the book.

  • Item
  • 1925

Voter's list - Polling Sub-Division No. 17 in the Parish of St. Patrick in the County of Charlotte, N.B. for the year 1925

In 1785, as part of the formation of the new province of New Brunswick, Charlotte County was established as one of the original counties. Seven original parishes were created and set off in 1786 but they did not include all the lands assigned to the County. In 1814 it extended north to the County line and took in Dumbarton. Its communities are Bethel, Bocabec, Bocabec Cove, Digdeguash, Dumbarton, Elmsville, Johnson Settlement, Kerrs Ridge and McMinn.

The act of voting is one of the key elements of a democracy and a fundamental rights of citizens. It is the principle means by which Canadians participate in choosing their representatives and governments at the federal, provincial, territorial and municipal levels.
