Mom said Grandpa Dobson sailed to Barbados, along with his brother Jim, to collect molasses. He worked for T.J. Caldwell who owned a wholesale/retail store. The story is that there was a false bottom on the molasses barrels and that they actually were smuggling in rum (not a proven story though). Afterwards, Grandpa was a spotter for the railway & was responsible for seeing that they were unloaded & the contents driven by horse & wagon to the wholesaler. Mom said her grandfather was very strict & walked very tall & proud. When you ate at his table, you did not talk. If you did talk, he'd drop his fork & knife & stared at you until you quit talking. He was a man of few words. He had woodland & hauled wood all winter by sleigh.
Obit - Death has again visited the community of New Carlisle, Quebec, & taken one of its oldest residents, the late Archie Dobson, who passed away at his home on February 26th (Sat.), after a long and painful illness, which was borne with patience & fortitude. He was born in New Carlisle, 82 years ago, the son of the late Thomas Dobson and Annie Renouf, & was a well known & respected citizen, a good neighbour & a willing helper to those in need. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, the former Emma Wellman, two sons, Charles at home, & John of Toronto; four daughters, Mrs. George Crozier (Rena); Mrs. Edgar Flowers (Mancil); Mrs. George J. Gilker (Anne); Mrs. John S. Shearer (Thelma); all of New Carlisle, & who were all at his bedside when the end came. Another daughter, Mrs. Alfred St. Denis died in 1940. Also surviving are three sisters, Mrs. E. Murray, Cape Breton, N.S.; Mrs. E. Thurston, Saugus, Mass.; & Mrs. A. Buttle, Montreal. A large number of grand and great grandchildren also survive. The pallbearers were John C. Gilker, John Chatterton, Clifton Flowers, James Thompson, & John Thompson. The remains were driven by Lionel Gilker. Funeral services were held on March 1st, at St. Andrew's Anglican Church, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Knox.
