Blanchard - Former Member of Legislature Passes Away
DUVAR, P.E.I., March 17, 1939 - Hon. Jeremiah Blanchard, a well-known and highly respected citizen of this Prince County village who was a former member of the Legislature, died at his home here today, aged 79, following a lengthy illness. He was confined to his bed for four years.
Born in Rustico, P.E.I, , in 1860, Hon. Mr. Blanchard was the son of Sylvestre Blanchard and Virginie Doucet. After passing through the public schools he learned the carpenter trade with his father and moved in 1882 to Duvar where he lived until his death.
He had been interested in politics since his youth and in 1890 he unsuccessfully contested two elections in the interest of the Conservative Party; the first in January for the Legislative Assembly as a candidate for the first district of Prince and the second in August for the Legislative Council.
He was elected as a Conservative candidate for the first district of Prince in 1894 and sat in the Legislature till 1897.
After an absence from the political scene of some 20 years he returned to the hustings in 1919 and was an unsuccessful Liberal candidate in the third Prince where he opposed the then Premier, Hon.A.E. Arsenault, now Mr. Justice Arsenault.
He was elected by a large majority for the first district of Prince in a bye-election necessitated by the death of Hon. Benjamin Gallant in the same year and was re-elected in 1923 and 1927. He sat in the Legislature until 1931, a member of the Bell, Saunders, and Lea Governments.
Married twice, his first wife Domitilde Gallant was mother of nine children. She died in 1918. His second wife, Mrs. Gomaux of Miscouche, P.E.I. bore him five children.
JOHN AXWORTHY - On the evening of Saturday, March 5th 1921, Mr. John Axworthy, a highly esteemed citizen of Wheatly River, son of the late Wm. Axworthy passed peacefully away at the age of 36 years.
The deceased had not been in very good health for several years but his friends and loved ones were not aware that the end was so near. On the eve of the above mentioned date he was sitting talking when all at once, his brother and mother noticed that there was something seriously wrong. They thought that he had fallen asleep and tried to wake him. It was all in vain, the heart had ceased to beat, death had come and his spirit had taken flight.
Besides a sorrowing step-mother Mr. Axworthy leaves to mourn the loss of a loving brother, three brothers and five sisters.
The brothers are: Herbert and William in the Canadian West and George at home; and the sisters are: Mrs. Alvin Carr, Somerville, Mass, Mrs. Frank Quinn, Charlottetown, Mrs. Wm. Hicken, Fredericton, and Misses Bertha and Sophia of Charlottetown.
Mr. Axworthy was a young man of strong and manly character and will be much missed among his many friends. He was a general favorite wherever known and his place will be hard to fill.
The funeral, which was quite a large one was held at his old home in Wheatly River on Tuesday, March 8th. The service was conducted by Rev. R.H. Stavert.
The pallbearers were: Geo. Axworthy, Howard MacKay, Howard Waye, John Pidgeon, Nelson Moore and Henry Ross.
