**************************************************

72. Lewis Gilbert Speedy. Son of Thomas R. Speedy & Elizabeth Dundass. Born 23 Sep 1882 in Harvey. Christen in Harvey Presbyterian Church. Died 5 Nov 1927 in St. Stephen. Buried in St. Stephen Rural Cemetery.

    From Saint Croix Courier "Journey Through Time", 5 May 1910:  Born - Speedy:  At St. Stephen, May 3, to Mr and Mrs Lewis G. Speedy, a son.

    From obituary in Telegraph Journal, 1927:
    Lewis G. Speedy of McAdam Dies
    Death Comes Suddenly at St. Stephen; Son Lives Here.
    St. Stephen, Nov 6 -- The death of Lewis G. Speedy took place suddenly at the home of his father, Thos R. Speedy, here, on Saturday evening.  Mr Speedy and wife had been here for the last three weeks, as he had not been feeling very well, but was gaining rapidly and was planning on returning to his home at McAdam shortly, to take up his regular duties as customs official.  At the time of his death he had been sitting in a chair, when those there noticed his head go back and asked him what the matter was, to which he replied, "nothing".  His wife ran to get him a drink of water, but he expired immediately.  Mr Speedy who was 45 years of age, was born at Harvey, the son of Mr and Mrs Thomas Speedy, the family moving to St. Stephen some years ago.  Mr Speedy first went to McAdam in the employment of the CPR, but about 15 years ago entered the customs service and had been stationed at that place ever since, where he was widely known and respected, having a host of friends.  He was a member of the Oddfellow Lodge at that place.
    Besides his wife, he leaves a daughter and a son; his father, T. R. Speedy; two sisters, Mrs Jack Wilson, and Miss Lena, of this town; and five brothers, Fred and Carl, of Toronto; Norman, employed with the N. B. Telephone Company, Saint John, and John and Roy, both in business in this town.
    The funeral arrangements have not been completed as yet, waiting word from the brothers in Toronto.  Interment will take place here.
    A peculiar coincidence in Mr Speedy's death is that he worked in the same office with DeWitt Lister, who died so suddenly at the Chipman Hospital here on Friday.  Both were out on sick leave at the same time and died at practically the same time, thus depriving McAdam of two of its best citizens and the customs service of two valued employees within two days.

 

  He married Emma Janson, 21 Jun 1905 in Charlotte Co., NB . Born 1882. Died 27 Nov 1945 in Saint John, NB. Buried in St. Stephen Rural Cemetery.
