(Witness) Death

11 June 1928

St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada; From the Harbour Grace Standard newspaper on July 20, 1928: "The badly decomposed body of Mr. John Hurley, of St. John's, who disappeared from his home there on June 11th, was discovered by two men in a motor boat in the waters of St. John's harbor on Wednesday morning last."
From an email from Brian Mallard to Patricia Balkcom, on December 11, 2022:
?"His death is officially reported as 11 June 1928 the date he was reported missing. Presumably, he jumped into the harbour on that date. Add to that the word “melancholic” noted on the death register. If he had not died on 11 June surely somebody would have seen him in public. After all it was about six weeks from report of disappearance and recovery of body. I’m his grandson and is my considered and educated opinion he committed suicide."; Principal=John Hurley^6,7,8

Obituary

August 2008

Clem Joseph St. Croix

March 21, 1965 - August 27, 2008. It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Clem St. Croix on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at his home in Yellowknife. Clem was a devoted father, brother and friend. His passion for life and sense of humor enriched the lives of all who knew him. Clem was raised in St. Vincent's, St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland. He went to Yellowknife in 1983 and joined the Yellowknife Fire Department as a volunteer firefighter. After becoming a fulltime firefighter in 1987, he moved through the ranks to Lieutenant and later became Deputy Fire Chief. Illness forced Clem to retire from his successful career in the YK Fire Department. He was a respected and valued public servant to the citizens of Yellowknife for over 20 years. Clem is survived by his daughters Aleta and Kadee, their mother Jacinthe, special friend Suzanne, sister Rose (Bob), brother Joe, brother-in-law Lorne, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his sister Joan and parents Joseph and Geraldine. A Celebration of Life was held on Friday, September 5, 2008 at 2:30 pm at Adlair Aviation hangar in Yellowknife. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.¹
