and remained so until 1784.
Paul and Lydia
Kingston emigrated in 1826 to New Brunswick.

1979.
"Paul
Kingston and his wife Lydia Byrd would have been married about 1810 in
Ireland, at which time she was about thirty years of age and he only about
nineteen - a fact which may explain why they had only four children in
a time of universally large families. In any case, about 1826, they and
their four children settled at Sprigs Brook, an isolated site on the North
West, above the mouth of Tomogonops, and remained there until 1835, when
Paul quick claimed the property to Joseph Dennis and moved to three Islands
(Wayerton). There he was a moderately successful lumberman in the 1830's,
but he confined himself largely to farming in the '40's. He was a Fence
Viewer in 1840 and an Overseer of Highways in 1841, and in 1851-52, while
living with his son Samuel's family, he taught school at Copp's Settlement
(Trout Brook), as returns now in the Provincial Archives, completed by
"Paul Kingston, Senr." in his own excellent handwriting show. He was an
untrained "third class" teacher.
Paul did not prosper at school teaching, and by 1858, although they were
still living with their son Samuel, he and Lydia were receiving relief
from the Overseers of the Poor. In 1861, he was living with their granddaughter
Margaret Rolfe, and Lydia spent her last years with their daughter Susannah.
Although the Kingston Genealogy states that she died at the home of her
son Samuel in 1863, the Advocate of June 10, 1869, reveals that she died
on May 16, 1869, in her eighty-ninth year at the home of her son-in-law
William Allison, leaving four children and thirty-eight grandchildren.
According to the census of 1861, Paul was an Episcopalian and Lydia a Methodist.
Of the children Avisa and Samuel became Catholics.
Paul,
their youngest child, was still in New Brunswick in 1849, according to
a notice published in the Gleaner of September 3 of that year, but the
Kingston Genealogy states that he died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about
1877, after raising a family in that state.

Kingston, - MacCloughry
Kingston or Kingstone Synonymous with MacCloughry in County Galway, is a miss translation - Clough (stone) ri (King) - the Irish form MacClochaire is clearly from Clochaire, a worker in stone. However, both MacCloughry and Kingston are rare in Connacht; and there is no evidence of their equation in West Cork, the only part of Ireland where the name Kingston is numerous. Modern birth statistics (1864 - 1890) show that approximately 90 percent of those registered for Kingston occurin County Cork.
Woulfe states
that he found Mac Oinseamain as the Galic form of Kingston in West Cork,
but one is left to suppose that this is merely a phonetic approximation
to the English form. The County Cork Kingstons indeed do not claim to be
Irishin origin. One family historian states that they came to Ireland between
1625 and 1649 and that many of the Kingstons in England are of families
which returned thither from Ireland; another says the first to visit Ireland
was Col. James Kingston of William III's army. At any rate the seventeenth
century they have been one of the Protestant families to be found in strength
around Bandon and Drinoleague. In the latter area they have been particularly
numerous. It has been stated that about the year 1885 theteacher and every
one of the sixty pupils attending the National school of Meenies was a
Kingston. The writer of the article referred to (in the magazine of the
United diocese of Cork,. Cloyne and Ross) gives examples of the necessity
for some Kingston children to be called by the Christian name of their
grandmother as well as their father, example Richard Sally Sam Kingston
and Richard Mary Sam Kingston. The writer of the article in question bewailed
the fact that some "interlopers" had recently crept intothe Kingston stronghold.
Tempora Mutantur: some of the Kingston families in Munster are now Catholic.
(A note by me George, a Catholic, What Is The World Coming to, Kingston's
becomming Catholicized Kingston's, however my blood line remained non catholicat
emigration)
According
to a family tradition recorded in the Genealogical Office, Dublin Castle,
but unsupported by documentary evidence, the Kingston's of County Longford
were originally MacCloughrys from Scotland, seventeenth century Presbyterian
refugees who settled first in County Donegal, and after 1690 acquired the
County Longford property of their relatives the Clinton's when the latter
emigrated to America.

KINGSTON
CINNSEAMAN
This Surname at the time of its first appearance in Ireland in the 13th Century was written "de Kyngeston", indicating that it derived from a place called Kingston, but as there were many such places in England the name may well have had several distinct points of origin.
We have
a record of one Thomas Kingeston in Ireland as early as 1277 and of a Richard
de Kyngeston in Dublin twenty years later. William de Kyngestoun
in County Meath, while the first of the name recorded in County Cork was
John Kingstoun who was appointed Chaplin of Holy Trinity (Christ Church)
in Cork in 1381. The name came into prominence in the city again in 1785
when the mayor of Cork was James Kingston.
But today Kingston is generally, and correctly, regarded as a West Cork family name, and we can trace its origin there to the aftermath of the Cromwellian plantations in the mid - 17 Century - though there was a Richard Kingston in Brandon in 1619.
The only one of the name to acquire confiscated lands in West Cork was Samuel Kingston who in company with James Draper got 118 plantation acres of Skeaf East in the parish of Kilmaloda, near Timolegue. This town land which had a total population of 215 plantation acres (375 acres today) was prior to 1641, the property of Tedhg og O Crowley.
We know
that the new owners settled there because the 1659 census listed as "Tituladoes"
in East Skeaf the following: James Draper, Joseph his son, Samuel Kingstone,
John Kingstone his son. The census also recorded that in the townland as
a whole there were six English and nine Irish. A marriage between John
Kingston (son of Samuel) and Joane Dobson took place in 1666. (Between
then and 1750 twenty-four Kingston marriages were recorded in the diocese
of Cork and Ross). A latter-day descendant, Dr Richard Kingston, in a recent
article in the "Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society,"
has traced many modern branches of the family back to Samuel Kingston of
Skeaf who must have lived to a ripe old age since his will was not registered
until 1703.
A few miles
to the North-West, in the townland of Cashel Beg (par Desertsenges), lived
Paul Kingston whose will was registered in 1683.
A short account of the Kingston family in West Cork was published in a Cork diocesan magazine in 1893 and published in Armagh in 1929. It is mainly derived from the oral narrative of Paul Kingston of Lissangle as recorded by Rev. J. S. Reeves, rector of Caheragh from 1853 to 1890. According to this source, the first family in Ireland was a Colonel James Kingston from thewest of England who accompanied William of Orange to Ireland in 1690 a Colonel of horse, as did his two sons, James and Paul, who were captains of foot. Although this information conflicts with the evidence from official sources as the first bearers of the name in West Cork, the account nevertheless, worth quoting as an authentic family tradition, much of which is undoubtly based on fact.
Besides Colonel Kingston, King William had two other colonels - namely Stawell and Honor. With these he fought the famous battle of the Boyne, in which Colonel saved King William's life by giving him his horse when his own refused to take the water.
"After the battle was over and peace restored, King William gave his Colonels and Captains land for their services both at the battle of the Boyne and Aughrim. About which time, a little after the battle of Aughrim, one of Colonel Kingston's sons, Paul, died of fever in the camp at Dundalk, so that all the land of the three Kingston's - that is, of the father and two sons -came to Captain James Kingston.
Captain James Kingston had several sons and four daughters. The person who tells this only remembers the names of three of them. One lived in Ballycotton House; another George, lived in Barryfield; another son lived in Skave. The latter married first a miss Cooke, and then a miss Blood (Ballycotton is Ballycatten, par Rathclevin; Skave is Skeaf, already mentioned. There is, in fact, a record of a marriage between Samuel KIngston and Alice Blewgtt in 1721). Jerry Kingston was the youngest and his own (ie Paul Kingston's) great grandfather. His four daughters married - one a Mr Loughton, another a Mr Maylor, another a Mr Elbery and another Mr West Allen.
Jerry Kingston, the great grandfather of Mr Paul Kingston, who relates this, settled in a farm in the parish of Kilnagross, which he rented from one Stawels, who was then a great friend of his, on account of the two families coming over at the same time. This was in the year 1715, the year of the great snow. His son Paul and grandson Sam lived and died there and there he himself was born."
Generally the KIngstons began to establish themselves throughout many of the parishes of West Cork. James Kingston of Rathclarin Parish had a will registered in 1929. We find Thomas Kingston in Lislee (Will, 1773) and William Kingston of Knockeebee in Drimoleague Parish (Will, 1778). It was in this latter parish that the family name proliferated to the greatest extent. The family narrative already referred to claimed that at one period ofthe 19th century the sixty children on roll of Meenies, N.S. in Drimoleague parish - and their Schoolmaster were all named KIngston, and even if the claim is overstated, it is not too much of an exaggeration. So prevalent had the name become in the parish that it was necessary to affix such titles as "Richard Sally Sam" and "Richard Mary Sam" to distinguish various members, using the personal names of the parents and grandparents after the Irish fashion.
The Irish form Cinnseamdri was according to Fr Woulfe, sometimes used for Kingston, there are no townland - names derived from it; Kingston's fields in the Parish of Litter near Fermoy obviously takes its name from the Earls of Kingston (of Mitchelstown) whose family name was King. Neither is there any connection with the Kingstones of Mosstown (near Kenegh, Longford) whose original name, MacCloch Ri, "King's stone"
Being of
solid yeoman stock and concentrating almost entirely on farming, the Kingstons
found no difficulty in living in accord with their Catholic Neighbours,
and never lost their original attachment to the lands. In 1875, of 33 prominent
KIngstons listed in County Cork by Guy's Directory, no less than 19 were
given as "landholders"

Notes for WILLIAM
ALLISON:
The following
copied from the book "OLD NORTH ESK on the Miramichi" by W. D. Hamilton
1979
William's life differed from the lives of other second generation Allisons
in several respects. He married a daughter of an upriver family and made
his permanent home twenty miles from most others. Also, although he entered
adulthood as a poor, illiterate man, he had a sizeable estate at the time
of his death in 1869. Hard work in farming and lumbering at a remote location
where land was plentiful apparently accounted for his success.
On July27, 1825, one day after Samuel Allison petitioned for a grant on
the Portage River Stating That he had been a resident of Northumberland
County for six years, William petitioned also, stating that he had been
a resident for twelve months. He was successful too it seems, because in
a later petition, dated April 1, 1833, he stated that he had settled on
200 acres on the Portage River and cleared ten of these acres, "up to the
forks". He also stated that he had acquired Samuel Allison's lot and applied
for afurther 200 acres from the province, thus revealing that he was claiming
600 acres altogether in 1833. In spite of this, he described himself as
"a very poor man" who had sustained serious losses by fire and wished to
avoid any further setbacks.
William
married Susannah Kingston on July 20, 1831, an event about which G. B.
Johnson, in his book Miramichi Woodsman, writes as follows "Paul &
Lydia Kingston did not approve of the hasty courtship of Susannah and William
Allison; however, William came up one summer night in his canoe and he
and Susannah eloped down the river and were married. The union was a most
happy one and William Allison became one of the foremost citizens of the
country.
In 1832, William obtained the first of a series of tavern licences, a fact
which suggests that he became a lumber operator in the 1830's. He was a
parish Overseer of highways for several terms in the late '30's and an
Overseer of Fisheries in 1838. His permanent home was not on the Portage
River, but on the west side ofthe North West, about a mile below its mouth,
at a location later known both as Three Islands and as Allison Settlement.
William died on August 19, 1869 at age seventy, according to a notice in
the Gleaner. A tombstone in Trout Brook cemetery states that Susannah died
on February 23, 1891, at age seventy-eight. Other sources show slightly
different ages for both of them. William was a Presbyterian; Susan a Methodist.
Some of the children were baptized in one church and some in the other.
The Following by Anonymous
HISTORY OF THE ALLISON FAMILY
Paul F. Kingston
born in Ireland in 1785. (about 1785). His ancestors were English. He went
to Ireland in the army at the time of Cromwell. (His ancestors came to
Ireland at the time of Cromwell). He was a member of the Church of England
and a Mason. In 1810 he met and later married Lydia Byrd, who was born
in Ireland. Her family originally came from England. There first child
was Susanna born at Bantry Bay Cork in 1812. (According to
the census of 1861, Paul was an Episcopalian and Lydia a Methodist. Of
the children, Avisia and Samuel became Catholics. The children all born
in Bantry in County Cork Ireland, are listed, born in the following order.
Avisia (c1811 f1869) m. John Flynn
Susannah (c1814-Feb 24 1891) m. William Allison
Samuel (c1816 f1871) m. Mary Curry
Paul (c1820 c1877))
In 1826 Mr Kingston
decided to come to Canada with his wife and two children Susanna and Samuel.
They landed at Newcastle. It was founded as a town in 1792. (The Miramichi
Fire was in October 1825. Starting near the mouth of Bobby Brook burned
southeast, the wind shifted and the fire travelled north. It spread as
far as the Nashwak River, to the town of Newcastle, down the main Miramichi
River and reportedly some building in Fredericton burned. Many people were
burned to death. There are horror stories and stories of sacrifice connected
to this fire). They sailed up the River and built a house at Spriggs Lake
which empties into the North West Miramichi about one mile above where
Tomogonops river joins Northwest. (Should be Spriggs Brook, which is also
named as Dennis Brook) In 1830 Paul F. got a grant of land 400 acres west
bankof Miramichi opposite Three Islands. (In 1830 Paul Kingston applied
for a grant of four hundred acres on the west bank of the Miramichi, opposite
Three Islands, and was granted two hundred at this point). In 1832 he purchased
200 acres adjoining and eastof a lot lately applied for by William Allison.
Susanna married William Allison in 1830. (The actual date when William
Allison came up the river in his canoe from Portage River to Spriggs Brook
was July 20, 1831 and he and Susannah eloped down the river and were married.)
Her father Paul F. died in 1855 and her mother Lydia died in 1863.(The
Advocate of June 10, 1869, reveals that Lydia died May 16, 1869, in her
eighty-ninth year at the home of her son-in-law William Allison, leaving
four children and thirty-eight grandchildren. The death of Paul F. is recorded
as January 25 1867 in W. D. Hamilton's book "OLD NORTH ESK on the Miramichi")
Both are buried at the English Settlement Church at Trout Brook. (It is
rumored that their bodies and some other Kingstons such as Samuel's their
son are some where unknown although Head Stones exist in the English Settlement
Church at Trout Brook).

MOUNT ALLISON ANCESTORS
Joseph
Allison lived on a farm near Limavady Londonderry, Northern Ireland after
1750 (Later half of eighteenth century), of Scottish stock. the farm was
later owned by James Allison, Joseph did not own the farm, rented it from
an English land lord whose agent collected rent. Their rent was raised
because their dining table was set with silver spoons given them by a friend.
Mr Allison said "I'll Not Pay More". "I'll go to America instead". They
packed very soon and set out for Philadelphia where relatives lived. But
due to a storm the ship waslater found near Sable Island on the Nova Scotia
coast. The passengers were taken to Halifax. Before long he bought a farm
at Horton two miles from Grand Pre. Joseph Allison's oldest daughter later
married Colonel Jonathan Crane. A son of Joseph married an Anglican lady
from Canard, N.S. Their son Charles Frederick Allison left Horton at 14
and later settled in Sackville. His name is bound up in Mount Allison University.
He was brought up in the Anglican faith by his mother. During serious illness
feelinghe had not received the spiritual comfort and strength from the
Anglican Rector turned to the Methodist Minister and joined that Church.
In 1839 he decided that a school of higher levels be established under
Methodist auspices and a strong christian emphasis. He offered to purchase
the land and erect suitable buildings and also to give 100 pounds per annum,
for 10 years. Mount Allison Academy began its educational work on Jan 19,
1843. He died in 1858 and did not see the full realization of his dream
of a university. Five of the original spoons are now on display in the
reading room of memorial library at Mount Allison University.

Notes for JAMES LYON URQUHART:
His parents were living in Nordin, when James was born.
James Lyon Urquhart was baptized in St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Chatham in 1837.
A tombstone in the Trout Brook cemetery states that James died on September 15, 1915 at age seventy-nine and his wife Susan on February 11, 1932, at age eighty-seven. She had lived in New York City from 1919 until her death. Dates for the children were obtained from private records compiled by daughter Rosina ("Rose") in 1966.
He spent several years in the United States in the late 1870's and early '80's separate from his family, he made his permanent home at Wayerton , where he created a valuable farm and acquired extensive lumber tracts.
The following copied from a more or less private but honest heartfelt description of the environment the people lived in the late 1800's and early 1900's
MEMORIES
BY
ROSE URQUHART
A little house set in a small clearing and surrounded by a wilderness of alder bushes,-spruce, birch and poplar, on the crest of a low hill overlooking a meadow with a river at its far edge - a river that overflowed its banks during the spring freshens when the ice ran out, and whose farther bank was covered by a forest of spruce rising against the eastern sky.The little house , as I first remember it, nestled in a garden with several rows of gooseberry bushes to the west and south, vegetables and rhubarb to the east, bordered by a few Raspberry bushes, a big , old, gnarled birch tree which could be climbed by small boys and girls - and by some not so small - and, by the path in front of the house - a big lilac bush, matched by one on the other side of the path. Just beyond the lilac stood the milk-house, of which you will hear more later. Beyond that , part waydown the slope, were two wells, barrels sunk over springs, from which all the water was carried to the house. this slope was really a pasture fenced off from the house and garden on one side and from the meadow that stretched from the foot of the slope tothe river. There were cherry and hazel nut bushes scattered here and there over the slope. To the north lay the door-yard (might be called a lawn, nowadays) another vegetable garden and a roadway which connected the meadow with the barn-yard. Beyond that was an alder thicket.
To the west a
fence divided the garden and the door-yard from the barn yard. To the south,
about where the present barn now stands, lay the barn where a horse (the
first one I remember was an old white one called "Dandy"), several cows,
sheep, a couple of pigs and about a dozen hens were sheltered and hay and
oats stored. Instead of doors there were vertical boards, each about a
foot in width, that fitted into slots at top and bottom, so that they could
be easily moved to allow entrance of man, beast or truck. I'm not quite
sure but I think the stables did have doors. At the western side of the
barnyard was a wagon-shed built of logs, with a loft where sleds, sleighs,
etc. could be stored in summer and plows, harrows, wagons and other summer
equipment, in winter.
From the north
side of the barnyard ran the road that led to the highway with a curve
that hid the house from passers-by. On one side lay, first, clumps of alders
and then another vegetable and strawberry garden. From there to the road
just bushes and trees. A road to the field led from the north-east corner
of the barnyard over the hill and past a little brook where the cattle
and horses drank in winter.
About 1898 the old barn was torn down, also the wagon shed, and new ones built. The barn was located in about the same spot as the original one but was much more modern. I remember the barn-raising when men from miles around, some with their wives, came to help. the building was completed in one day, the work only interrupted by time out for dinner and supper which the women helped prepare. The wagon-shed was later erected about half way to the black stump at the edge of the curve, opposite the garden mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
The present house
was built in 1900 and a small kitchen was added the following year. The
original house was built with its front about where the south side of the
dooryard is now. After the new house was built the old one was left standing
for several years. The kitchen was used asa summer kitchen, the two bedrooms
were used for storing firewood and the upstairs as a storage place. Since
the new house had no kitchen that first year, a cook-stove was placed in
the present dining-room, which explains the presence of a chimney rising
from that room. A couple of years after the kitchen was built a wood shed
was added and the old house torn down. By the time these changes were completed
I was no longer living there so am rather vague about dates of further
alterations. Along
about 1913 the
kitchen was enlarged and bedrooms added upstairs and the shed was moved
a few feet to correspond to the enlarged kitchen. On one of my visits home,
and I don't remember which one, I found that the road to the highway was
changed to its present location.Some time around then, the barn was destroyed
by a fire caused by lightning and then the present one was built with space
for a car and farm equipment and the separate wagon shed was dispensed
with.
Remember that the land was first cleared and the firsthouse built in 1862 and my memory extends back only to 1895 so it had taken thirty-three years to progress as far as I have first described. I remember the many blackened stumps that existed and the labor of both man and beast that was required to removethem. My older brothers and sisters were away from home when I was born and I didn't see any of them to know until i was at least six years old. It never occurred to me in later years to inquire about conditions existing when they were small and none of them talked about it. In the Family History I described how each of the children left home and made their own way in the world and how the place was left to Harvey, who was the one member of the family who really loved it and spent most of his life in developing it.
I have already described the location and surroundings of the little home. It was small but very cosy. The ground floor consisted of a room that was kitchen and living-room, combined, two bedrooms, small pantry, cupboard and stairway at the rear.Kitchen about 12 x 16 ft.; bedrooms, each 8 x 8'; low ceilings. Upstairs unfinished, un partitioned, with several beds, consisting of cotton ticks stuffed with straw an covered with patchwork quilts scattered around the floor, and one or two wooden bedsteads. Tables consisted of packing cases, covered with oilcloth.
Downstairs, one bedroom for father and mother; double bed filling half the room with about a foot of space at foot of bed, where a row of hooks served as a clothes closet. A small window looked out on the garden, with a sewing machine under it. Father's trunk with a laundry basket on top where freshly laundered clothes were kept, stood opposite the bed; a hooked rug on the floor. One or two photographs of absent children in home-made red velvetframes were on the wall. A clock stood on a corner shelf. Shades on the window but I don't remember any curtains. And that was their room as I remember it. I loved it! Especially on those days when I might have had a cold or was recovering from scarlet fever and was allowed to spend my days in their bed. I think my two brothers felt the same way. The other bedroom was about the same size but had a wash-stand with bowl and pitcher, etc. This was the "girls' room" meaning mine at the time I speak of. I usually had to share it with the teacher who always boarded at our house. When my three sisters shared it I believe there was a trundle bed for the youngest, which was pushed under the double bed during the day. Under the bed was a "thunder jug" - a very necessary piece of equipment in houses where bathrooms had never been heard of.
The kitchen, which also served as living and dining room, had a wood-stove with a wood-box behind it in one corner of the kitchen, near the door. The stove was the model in general use a hundred years ago, with a fire-box which had a door on the end into which several sticks of wood could be inserted. A door on the front, with a damper extending from its bottom, allowed the insertion of birch bark and kindling and the application ofa brimstone match produced a very satisfactory blaze. The oven was mounted at the back of the top of the stove with space for four stove lids in front, and the whole thing was surmounted by a stove pipe that went up through the attic and out through the roof without the benefit of a chimney. Twice this resulted in sparks setting fire to the roof, but fortunately, they were extinguished without much damage. Not an easy feat when you remember that water had to be carried in pails from those wells I mentionedbefore.
There was a large shelf behind the door where water pails were kept, where dishes were washed and various household chores performed. A slop pail underneath since there no pipes or drains. Under the window on the east wall was the large drop-leaf table with a few chairs and benches and mother's rocking chair scattered around. Also a very hard "lounge" or couch against the wall that separated the kitchen from the pantry and stair-well. A hatch about four feet square in the middle of the floor and lifted bya large iron ring gave access to the cellar. The stairway, a flight of bare plank steps, led to the attic with its bare rafters, low peaked roof, and one small window. This was the boy's domain and seemed to be able to accommodate any number. In the summer, if there was a hired man, some of the overflow slept in the haymow. In the winter, the stove-pipe and numerous quilts and blankets with the straw mattresses kept them warm. In the morning, what ever heat there was had disappeared and most of the dressing was done downstairs by the stove.
The kitchen door, secured by a latch since it was unthinkable that a lock might be needed - remember that it is now (1973) one hundred and eleven years since that house was built - faced towards the north. On each side of the door a narrow bench ran against the wall and served, instead of a porch, as a pleasant place to sit on hot summer evenings and also, on the shorted side, as a wash-bench for men fresh from the field and barn. The door opened upon a yard which is especially remembered because of a huge rock (seemed huge to me then, although it was probably only three feet long, one foot wide and eight inches high) a few feet from the door, which was a wonderful place for children to try to break things. I remember there was a solid glass ball, about two inches in diameter, with a white duck inside - it must have been a legacy from older members of the family, who were long gone by this time - around 1895. Anyway, no matter how hard Harvey and I tried, we couldn't breakthat ball or get at that duck. Will was older and too grown up to bother with such childish games. I wonder whatever happened to that ball - it was badly chipped the last time I saw it. Across the dooryard was another garden - mostly potatoes in this one.
The field between
the pasture and the river was planted with oats, potatoes and hay and the
plots of ground used for each varied each year. In the spring it bloomed
with white daisies, dandelions, white and purple violets and various other
flowers. In the fall there were black-eyed Susan and purple clover abounded.
Also in the spring, when I was a child, there were patches of wild strawberries.

The Following Copied From A Poem By Michael Whalen, The Well-known Renous Poet
THE DUNGARVEN WHOPPER
Far within the
forest scene, where the trees forever green
From a contrast to the beech and birches grey,
Where the snow
lies white and deep, and the snowbirds seem to
sleep,
And cease
their sweetest singing all the day,
Where the mighty
monster moose, of limbs long and large and
loose,
Through
the forest sweeps with strides both swift and strong,
Where the caribou
and deer, swim the brooks so crystal clear,
Where
the deep and dark Dungarvon sweeps along.
Where the black
bear has his den, far beyond the haunts of men,
Where
the muskrat, mink and marten fill the streams,
Where the squirrel
light and free, swiftly springs from tree to
tree,
And the
lovely snowwhite rabbit sleeps and dreams,
Where the sounds
of toil resound, far across the frozen ground,
And the
thousand things that to the woods belong,
Where the saws
and axes ring, and the woodsman wildly sing,
Where the
dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.
In a lumber camp
one day, while the crew were far away,
And the
boss and cook were in the camp alone,
A sad tragedy
took place, and death won another race,
When the
young cook swiftly passed to the unknown.
From that day
of long ago, comes this weird tale of woe,
The sad
and solemn subject of my song,
When this young
man drooped and died, in his youth and manhood's pride,
Where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.
When the crew
returned at night, what a sad scene met their
sight,
There
lay the young cook, silent, cold and dead.
Death was in
his curling hair, in his young face pale and fair,
While
his knapsack formed a pillow for his head.
From the belt
about his waist, all his money was misplaced,
Which
made the men suspect some serious wrong.
Was it murder
cold and dread, that befell the fair young dead,
Where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.
When they asked
the skipper why he had made no wild outcry,
He turned
away and hid his haughty head.
"Well, the youngster
took so sick, and he died so mighty quick,
I hadn't
time to think," was all he said.
A tear was in
each eye, each heart heaved a heavy sigh,
While
through each breast the strangest feeling throng,
Then each reverent
head was bared, as his funeral they prepared,
Where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.
Fast fell the
driven snow, while the wildest winds did blow,
Till four
feet deep it lay upon the ground,
So that on the
burial day, to the graveyard far away,
To bear
the corpse impossible was found.
Then a forest
grave was made, and in it the cook was layed,
While
the songbirds and the woodsmen ceased their song,
There the last
fairwells were said, o'er the young and lonely
dead,
Where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.
Then the crew
to camp returned, their dear comrade still they
mourned,
While
the shades of night were falling o'er the hill.
All that long
and fearful night, all the camp was in affright,
Such fearful
whoops and yells the forest fill.
Pale and ghastly
was each face, "We shall leave this fearful place,
For this
camp unto the demon does belong.
Ere the dawning
of the day, we shall hasten far away
From where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along."
Since that day,
so goes the word, fearful sounds have long been
heard,
Far around
the scene where lies the woodsman's grave.
Whoops, the stoutest
heart to thrill; yells, the warmest blood to
chill,
And send
terror to the bravest of the brave,
Till beside the
grave did stand, God's good man with lifted hand,
And prayed
that He these sounds would not prolong,
That these fearful
sounds would cease, and the region rest in
peace.
Where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.
Since that day
the sounds have ceased, and the region is released,
From those
most unearthly whoops and screams and yells.
All around the
Whooper's Spring, there is heard no evil thing,
And around
the Whooper's grave deep silence dwells.
Be this story
false or true, I have told it unto you,
As I heard
it from the folk lore all life long,
So I hope all
strife shall cease, and our people dwell in peace,
Where
the dark and deep Dungarvon sweeps along.

Notes for CHARLES
LOUIS O'LEARY KINGSTON, MD:
The following
appeared in the Barre Vermont News paper February 3, 1995. This is believed
to be authored by the Undertaker, Bruce Judd. It is also assumed that a
long time (at least a year before Bertha Kingston died) care giver and
a very pleasant person helped in composing this obituary, her name is Beverly
Casey. Dr. Louis and Beverly had a great deal of respect for one another,
it would appear that it was a relationship such as a father would have
for his daughter and she vice versa. She was with Louis on occasion seven
days a week. She would be the best person to communicate with if anyone
wishes. Her address is Beverly Casey, 34 Eastern Ave., Barre, VT., 05641.
She is a quiet and reserved person but would be happy to hear from anyone
who is interested in Uncle Louis.
The additions
to the original obituary are enclosed in brackets.
Dr Louis C. Kingston
BARRE --Dr
Louis C. Kingston, M.D. 90, died Feb. 1, 1995 at his home on Woodland Drive
after several years of declining health. He was a longtime physician, surgeon,
and eye, ear, nose and throat specialist in Barre.
Born in New Castle,(spelling should be Newcastle, also renamed Miramichi
City as of Jan 1, 1995, also as reported in a book by George Brooks Johnson
printed by the Press of Whittet & Shepperson of Richmond, Virginia,
entitled "Miramichi Woodsman"- "The year was brightened somewhat by the
birth of a fine son on May 12, who was named Charles Louis O'Leary Kingston
after Bishop O'Leary of the local diocese, whom the Kingstons admired very
much and who returned that high regard. Mrs Kingston was unattended when
Louis was born, except for a very frightened little twelve-year-old girl
who was helping with the housework at the time, and Louis had a premature
and somewhat hazardous entry into this world. This indicates he was born
at home inWayerton, N.B.) New Brunswick on May 12, 1904, he was the son
of Paul and Mary (Crowe) Kingston. He attended elementary and high school
in New Castle, graduated from the university of Vermont in Burlington in
1926 and from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in 1930. He
served a special internship at Brooklyn (N.Y.) Eye & Ear Infirmary
and did a general internship at the former Bishop DesGoesbriand Hospital
in Burlington.
Dr. Kingston
married Bertha Limoge in Burlington in 1932. She had completed registered
nurse's training at Bishop DesGoesbriand Hospital and worked as a private
duty nurse in the Burlington area. They came to Barre that year and opened
his medical practice on South Main Street. Mrs Kingston died Oct 4, 1991.
A veteran
of World War II, he served with the Army Medical Corps from July 2, 1942,
until July 29, 1946, and was discharged with the rank of major. He landed
with the 1st Infantry Division in the invasion of North Africa and later
participated in the invasion of Sicily asa surgeon with the 48th Mobile
Surgical Hospital. Following discharge he moved his practice to North Street
in Barre, sharing the same building as Dr. Earnest V. Reynolds. Dr. Kingston
retired in 1979.
He was
a member of St. Monica Church, Barre Country Club and American Legion Post
10, also of Barre.
His medical
affiliations include the Washington County Medical Society, Vermont State
Medical Society, American Medical Association, American College of Physicians
and Surgeons, American Board of Ophthalmology and was a Fellow of the American
Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology and a member of the Association
of Military Surgeons of the United States. He also served on the medical
staff of the former Barre City Hospital and later at the Central Vermont
Medical Center in Berlin.
He was
an avid golfer, an expert skier and especially enjoyed hunting and fishing
in his native New Brunswick. (He was given a lifetime membership to ski
at Stowe VT.)
Survivors
include many nieces and nephews.
Four brothers,
Joseph Kingston, Samuel Kingston, Paul Kingston and Cornelius Kingston
and four sisters, Anna Larner, Margaret O'Shaughnessy, Catherine Howe and
Suzanne Johnson, are deceased. (actually three other sisters were also
predeceased namely:- Mary born 1885, Susan Cecilia born 1888 and Mary Molly
born 1890)
A Mass
of the Resurrection will be Celebrated Monday at 10 am in St Monica Church
followed by burial in Old Mount Calvary Cemetery in Burlington. (Father
Patrick J Forman, Parochial Vicar, St Monica Church in his homily, cited
the many charitable works Uncle Louis performed including the free eye
examinations of the Seminarians etc.)
There
are no calling hours.
