| 2132 | [Story from Charles Reynolds] This is a tale told by my Great Grandfather (James Martin Barter, 1809-1898). It truly happened in New Brunswick (sometime between 1816 and 1820), and any reader may decide on what killed the poor old lady. Was it fright? Was it self-hypnotism? Or, as people at that time firmly believed, was the trial a just one and was she therefore punished of God? At, or near Tennant's Cove in King's County NB, the Widow Barter (Abigail Austin Barter) lived with her small children. Her husband had been dead a few years, and she was taking care of an old lady (a Mrs Tennant) about 90 years of age -- a queer old body of mutterings and strange actions. And, in the neighbourhood, even to Kingston and Belleisle and across the Saint John River, strange things were happening. Fences let down so cattle got into grain fields, apples withering on the trees, cattle and sheep dying from no noticeable cause, even dinners burning up on the stoves. A neighbour's house went up in flames when no one had been near it for days, and the countryside was in alarm and "witchcraft" was loudly talked. The country was carefully gone over by the leading people to decide who was the witch and why her baneful spell was over the land. Mr Mills was made the leading man to hunt out the witch and stop her work or call her to justice. First, the old way for laying a witch was tried: silver was made into a bullet and placed in an old musket. After asking God's help and blessing -- and for Him to cause the silver bullet to fall where it would kill the witch or stop her troubling -- Mr Mills fired the musket in the air. The crowd of people who had gathered to see the ceremony listened in awe as the heavy report of the musket sounded and echoed, and re-echoed, from the hills and rolled across the river. All went home, certain that the work of the witch was over and the "Devil" sent away. But what was the consternation of the countryside the next Sunday morning when Mr Mills went out to feed his stock to find his valuable oxen crowded into their mangers with their heads and their broad spreading horns looking out towards the back of the stable. It would be impossible for human hands to crowd an ox backward into its manger and get its head into the stanchion, and put in the pin to hold it. And to turn an ox with its head already in the stanchion so as to make it look out would plainly twist the stanchions completely cut. They had to tear down the stanchions and side wall to get the oxen out. Trial by Fire The excitement was tremendous. Mr Mills called a meeting of all the people and after due consultation, it was decided that Mrs Tennant, the old lady at Mrs Barter's, was the guilty woman and so must be punished. Some were for doing as they had done at Salem, Massachusetts, in earlier years -- burn her at the stake. But more human, Christian counsel prevailed and they decided on a trial by fire to determine if she was really a witch. Mrs Barter tried hard to keep them from annoying the old woman, saying she knew she was not guilty, but the people -- both men and women -- were so worked up over the matter that they were determined to try Mrs Tennant by fire, assuring Mrs Barter that if the old woman was innocent, no harm would come to her. So it was arranged that the trial would be carried out at Mrs Barter's home. The old lady was put in the middle of the floor in her chair, a line was drawn around it with red chalk, and every three inches a brad awl was stuck in the line all around the circle. The people who were trying her sat in a half-circle from the left side of the old-fashioned fireplace, out around the old lady and into the right side of the fireplace. Each crossed their arms and took hold of the hands of the ones on each side of them. The leader, Mr Mills, slowly read a passage of scripture, calling on God to help them try the woman. If she was innocent, no harm to come to her. But if she was possessed of the devil and was bewitching the countryside, she might become as hot as the horseshoe they were about to place in the fireplace. All the people followed the words in a kind of chant and the horseshoe was placed in the fire. At once the old woman began to twist in her chair, then began to scream: "Oh! You are burning me up! Oh, my God, I'm burning!" Her screeches were so heart-rending that it was hard to keep the people sitting but Mr Mills counselled all to keep quiet and see the result of the trial by fire. As the old lady screamed and tried to get up and called for help, Mrs Barter could stand no more, broke through the ring of people and knocked the horseshoe out of the coals with a broomstick. A Lingering Death The old lady collapsed on the floor and kindly hands put her to bed, but her sufferings were terrible. She only moaned and lamented her poor burned and scorched body. Nothing could be done for her and she lay suffering untold agony for three days over burns even though there were no signs of any. During the morning of the third day, she suddenly began to scream and beat her body and could not be comforted. She kept wailing "Oh, they are burning me again!" and her screams grew terrible. Her writhing in bed and moaning was so unnerving that Mrs Barter sent for her neighbours, and suddenly thinking of the horseshoe, she ran to the fireplace and discovered that the horseshoe had been accidentally knocked into the coals. She quickly drew it out with a poker and threw it out of doors. The shrill shrieking of the old lady stopped but she continued to moan, and that night she died. Strange to say, there were no more unusual happenings and only the memory of the most mysterious mystery lingered in the minds of the people. Mrs Tennant now lies by the side of her husband, who died years before this happened, on the old farm at Tennant's Cove, New Brunswick. This story is quite well known, having been published in a collection of New Brunswick stories some years ago. | AUSTIN, Abigail (I000043)

| 2133 | [Story told by Florence N (Barter) Lees] You notice the old grey-haired man in the corner? Do you notice how he works his hands? And, listen, in an undertone he is softly saying "Abigail... Abigail." It is the name of his wife he is calling. That old man has a history, but I will only tell of the loss of his wife. He was an American who settled here after the Loyalists came to Saint John [1783]. Martin Austin by name. He married a very beautiful girl, Abigail Gale and they had a family of several children who are married and live in this country. It was a happy marriage. There were no roads then and, as all travel was by water, both men and women became expert at boating. Mrs Austin often canoed to Saint John market or would go on the row boat, using an oar as handy as any man. It was one fine September day, quiet and as fair as a Fall day ever in New Brunswick, when Mrs Austin and a neighbour woman started for Saint John to market eggs, a little butter and some early vegetables. They went away paddling and singing while Mr Austin and his older children were gathering the wheat by sickle as was the custom of the day. At noon the wind sprang up and before five o'clock was blowing a gale. [On their return --?] Mrs Austin and the other woman were keeping to the lee shore, close in to escape the wind, but they had to come out in the full face of the wind to make the home shore. They bravely tried it but the gale caught the canoe and upset it, throwing both women in the water. Mr Austin had seen them as they put out in the gale and, as the canoe went over, he heard his wife call "Martin" but she never came back in sight after going under. The other woman clung to the overturned canoe and Mr Austin, in an agony of fear, had launched his big boat and rowed in frantic haste. Several neighbours who had witnessed the accident ran to their boats and soon several were doing what they could to get near. The woman clinging to the boat was saved but there was no trace of Mrs Austin. Martin was frantic. He kept saying "She called me, she called me" and he rowed around and around the cove and river calling "Abigail! Abigail, Martin is coming!" Night came on but Mr Austin would not give up. All through the night he kept rowing and calling. The people begged him to come in for there was no hope of finding her. A Nine-Day Search People looked and the river was searched all the next day. Still the bereft husband rowed and his call -- now so plaintive and sad -- sounded all over the water. The sorrowing friends brought food and gave him mats. If he slept, he slept in his boat as it drifted, only to wake and call mournfully for his lost wife. On the ninth day, early in the morning as he drifted slowly down the river, she rose suddenly to the top of the water by the side of his boat. Lovingly he drew her in, patted her hair, kissed and kissed her wet face. Softly he crooned love words to her: "Yes, your Martin came, didn't he dear? Yes, darling, I knew you would come to your Martin." Kind neighbours towed his boat with its sacred load to the landing and gently carried her into the house, the husband walking along, holding her hand and lowly talking to her. Until she was buried, he sat by her in a daze, talking and softly saying her name. It's several years ago, but now old and feeble -- and with a dazed brain and clouded mind -- you see he is happy while his thoughts are of her. He never recovered from the shock and people are sure in their minds that God in his Mercy brought her body up by his boat for him to get himself -- and allows the cloud to obscure his mind as a blessing to him who was so constant in his love. | AUSTIN, Martin (I005425)

| 2146 | [US Census - 1880] Name: William KAY Age: 26 Estimated birth year: <1854> Birthplace: NEW BRONSWICK Relation: Self Home in 1880: Portland, Cumberland, Maine Occupation: Machinist Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Head of household: William KAY Father's birthplace: ENG Mother's birthplace: ENG [from Margaret Kay] Steam Engineer, Collector of Taxes, Pound Keeper, Constable, Police Officer, Chief-of-Police, Jailer, Here is William Albert Kay, Citizen of Houlton, Maine. William Albert Kay was not always a Houlton citizen. William was born in 1855 on a spit of an island (there was only one house on the island) in the Canadian waters of Passamaquoddy Bay. In 1869, the Saxby Gale visited the Bay of Fundy and destroyed the Kay house on Marvel Island. Then William Kay and his family crossed the sand bar to nearby Indian Island and made their home there. When William was 17 years old, he left his island home with its pebble beaches and sea and fog for the big city of Portland, Maine. There he found employment and Elizabeth Jane Saunders, who became his wife. And in Portland he became an American citizen. In 1885, William Kay left Portland with his wife and young daughter, Bessie, to become the engineer for the new steamer at Engine House #2 on Military Street in Houlton, Maine. He was the steamer engineer until 1888. I discovered the steamer in 1987 still at the Engine House on Military Street. I was visiting Houlton to see what I could find out about the Houlton years of the grandfather I never knew. I stood in awe in the Engine Mouse beside the very steamer that my grandfather had ridden one hundred years ago. The firemen told me that even today (1987) the steamer is on parade on special occasions. Ten men roll it out of the firehouse, build the fire, hitch the steamer to a pair of horses and march in a parade. I walked by the Church of the Good Shepherd where my grandfather and his family worshipped and where his children were christened. And I visited the cemetery where Bessie Kay, the small daughter of William and his wife is buried. Bessie died of diphtheria shortly after her arrival in Houlton. On her stone, the words, "Twas hard to give thee up but Thy will, O God, be done." The rest of my time in Houlton was spent at the Cary Library reading old newspapers. I was surprised when I found William Kay's name for the first time. There he was! And again! And again! In 1887, William bought a house in the south division of Houlton. Later, in 1893, William built a house in the Highlands. We expect, reports the newspaper that by another season, there will be many handsome hoses erected on the elevation overlooking the torn. William lay's last residence was the jailer's house, separated from the jail by an iron door. Here, on the home aide of the iron door, my father was born. Two daughters had been born at Houlton earlier. The newspaper reports that at various town meetings, William Albert Kay, was elected time and again a tax collector and a constable. Once he was elected pound keeper. William Kay was proud to be an American. For the Fourth of July celebrations, William traveled to distant cities to make arrangements for trials of speed and other amusements. And the grand parade with its mounted police wan under his marshallship. The Houlton newspapers told of the many adventures and deeds of daring and chivalry he performed as policeman and jailer. In fact, in William Kay's first year and a half, he made 53 arrests for disorderly conduct, drunkenness and cruelty to animals and for grossly insulting young ladies. When a team was stolen in front of a house in Bangor, the police chief of Bangor telegraphed officers in Houlton. Officer Kay captured the thief as he was driving up Main Street on his way to New Brunswick, Canada. Once chief-of police Kay had to kill a bulldog who had grappled a cow by the nose. The cow swam across the creek several times with the dog hanging on. Finally Officer Kay shot the dog on the spot and killed him. Then there is the story in 1893 about the Russian Finn. The Russian Finn was found lying on North Street. He was taken to town where his wounds were dressed. It was supposed he had a quarrel with another Russian Finn. Officer Kay arrested the suspect and lodged him in jail. In 1890, the new county jail at Houlton was completed. Prison inspectors said it was the best jail in the state. In 1894, William Kay became the second jailer. His fourth child and first son was born in the house connected to the jail in 1894. Jailer Kay made some changes in the jail. For the first time, the prisoners were put to work at breaking stone. And the prisoners were expected to do other work as well. In 1895, the newspaper reports that a slight disturbance was caused on the court house grounds. It seems that one of the prisoners working on the grounds refused to continue his work. He became so violent that force was needed to subdue him. Officer Kay lodged his in the dungeon of the jail. A December 1897 news item informs the citizens of Houlton that the Wearie Willies (the traveling fraternity of tramps) are fast filling up the jail. (The winters were cold in Houlton.) But not all the prisoners lodged in the jail were tramps or drunks or common criminals. The newspaper reports another kind of prisoner. In 1895, there was a man incarcerated in the jail for the alleged debt of 87 cents. The newspaper article reports that he was an honorable man and member of a church in town. Now news of the activities of William Kay disappear from the Houlton newspapers. The term of William Kay as jailer is coming to an end. One last item appears in May 1898. William Kay, the people of Houlton are informed is now a private citizen. He is on his way to the Klondike. The people of Houlton wish William Kay success in the gold fields. (Wlliiam's children are shown living with his sister Florence in the 1901 Census of Canada.) | KAY, William Albert (I008256)
