| 1186 | Barrie Newspaper Mr. David Beath (1906) On Sunday, all that was mortal of the late David Beath was laid to rest in the Congregational Cemetery. Mr. Beath, who was in his fifty-fourth year has been indisposed for over a year. His demise on Thursday, although expected, still came as a shock to his wife and family, who now mourn his loss deeply. Mr. Beath moved to Oro nineteen years ago from Whitby. He was an active, energetic man and took part in all live topics of the day affecting his own community or township. He was township auditor for several years and on two occasions aspired for the office of councillor. Mr Beath was twice married: five children by his first wife survive him and two children are left with the second wife to mourn the loss of a devoted father and husband. The funeral took place on Sunday. The cortege, extending over a mile was headed by the Court Evening Star, I.O.F. of which Mr. Beath was a member. The service was conducted by Rev. C.C. Claris assisted by Mr. Pearce, of Barrie. The casket was beautified by a wreath from the church, a wreath from I.O.F. and a crescent from Mr. and Mrs. John Elliott. The pallbearers were Messrs. D. Bolton, Stephen Gardner, John Elliott, Irwin Addison, John Addison and Alex. Coutts. | Beath, David (I952)

Source: The Castor Advance Death Registration: Andrew Wilkie, Male, Married Date of Death: June 18, 1976 Location: Tillsonburg, Ont Age; 74 years Reg # 1976-05-029861 Last Will and Testament - Andrew Wilkie Town of Castor, Province of Alberta, made this 3rd June 1969 I leave unto my wife, Hazel Belle Wilkie, me entire Estate, for her own absolutely, to do with as she may see fit, however, should she not survive myself more than thirty days, I direct that my Estate shall be left to my children, who are Allan, Heather, and Richard to share and share alike Executrix - my Wife, Hazel Belle Wilkie Signed AWilkie Witnesses: H. S. Macartney & F. A. Hunt Recollections by Andrew Wilkie for a book published by the community of Castor. Recorded by Kay Morasch. My father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. David Wilkie, my sister Nettie, and I, left Scotland in 1911, arriving in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, where Father worked in the mines until May, 1914, when we returned to Scotland to try to improve my sister's health. War started in August, 1914, and we couldn't get back to Canada because Father was needed in the mines and had to stay. When he wasn't working in the mines, he was coaling the warship at the Naval Base, one of the things that they had to do. In 1920 we came to Garden Plains, where Father's sister, Mrs Jim Easton (Jenny) was living, and where Uncle Jim was working in the mines there. We then moved to Castor, where Father and I worked in the Remillard mine until Father had an accident in 1921 and we both gave up that line of work. I did odd jobs for awhile, then went to work for Imperial Oil and stayed with that for thirty years. Father and Mother lived to have their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Nettie died in 1925. Mrs Easton now lives in the Paintearth Lodge. Uncle Jim passed on. After Father's accident, when we quit the mine, I worked for Mr. Pickles on the farm for two summers. In 1926 Hazel and I were married. She was working in Ramsden's store and I had spent one summer delivering groceries , that was how we met. We have had a good life. The Hungry Thirties were not very pleasant but we managed to get over that. We have two good boys and a good girl. Allan, the oldest, joined the Air Force in 1950. He'll be due to retire in about two and a half years. Heather has her R.N.; Richard, our middle, is an electrician - got his papers a month ago. We are all very happy about that. What wages did we earn in the mine? That is a hard question to answer because you were getting paid a certain amount a ton for mining it. But I worked on the farm for $30.00 a month at Bulwark, and worked that summer in town, delivering groceries for $30.00 a month, just to have a job. It was a big lift when I started getting $90.00 a month, but that dropped considerably in the Dirty Thirties. What mines were operating in your time? Well, there was Shaw's, Remillard's, Phillips', McCormick's and there was one west of the County Shop on that land of Nichols'. They said that there was very good coal there, but I never worked there myself. And there was Jack Armstong's and that one across the Highlevel bridge, over there by Fletcher's buildings that was operated by Alfred McNeil who used to have the Boarding House in Castor. He was elevator agent at Veldt, too, for awhile. Would you name some of the men you worked with? I have a picture here. This is my Uncle Bill Scott, this is Omar Remillard, here's Edson Miller, Tim Miller's uncle. And of course the wee chap with the curly hair is me. This is Ray Trost, and this is my Dad, this is Mr. Jasper, and this is my cousin Bob. And this one, I am not sure of , but I believe it is Gus Wetter. Gus worked there. How could you see without electricity? We had carbide lamps. If you want to go into Ray Meyer's barber shop, he has one he will show you. You screw off the bottom and fill it half full of carbide, the rest water. Then turn the little lever at the top and the water starts to drop. And out comes air, just like gas. There is a flint on it - just like a cigarette lighter, and there's a flame that comes out of there. What were some of the dangers of working in a mine? Very few. I never saw a real accident until Dad had his. Cut and bruised fingers were common, just as in any other work. But in the explosion, Dad lost his eye, and the coal dust was embedded in his skin, that is, on his face, and it was impossible to get it out. His skin pebbled over, and never returned to normal, and his face looked dark. It was something that no one had ever seen around here. How did the mines here compare with those in Scotland? No comparison. The mines here were, at the most, thirty or forty feet deep. Both mines used props. The props here were wooden, and approximately five foot. The mines that I worked in , in Scotland, were 250 fathoms straight down, and that is a six-foot fathom. When you reached the bottom, you went into work, then you would start to climb to the coal face that had all been worked out until you came to where they were digging out the coal. There was a long seam of coal where you worked, a man and a boy like myself would work every ten feet along. The coal was cut with a machine, during the night or in the afternoon. There would be a man down there who would bore a hole, pile it with dynamite and blow that down. When the man & the boy would come in at six o clock in the morning, they would clean all this coal out. It would go down the incline and go out to the bottoom as we called it. It would go out the shaft to the top. This incline was steep enough that the full coal cars going down would bring up the empties. And from there a pony would pull them up to the shaft. The ponies would get up to the top once a year and would be practically blind from having been down there for so long. When I started to work it was in 1915-16, and there was no light except for the carbide lamps. When you worked on the mining crew, you were down in the hole for eight hours, and you didn't get out until your hours were up. You took your lunch with you in a tin can, for if you didn't , you wouldn't have any, because the rats would have it all eaten. | Wilkie*, Andrew (I33)
