Reverend Frederick Hartle B.E.M. (MIL)

Passed away peacefully on July 31, 2002 at Nanaimo Regional Hospital with his loving family by his side. Fred was born in Manchester, England on October 11, 1920.

As a small boy, Fred had a book in which he wrote his plans, it was entitled “Fred Hartle, the Very, Very Boss”. This theme followed Fred throughout his life. Fred served in the RAF during WWII. He was awarded the British Empire Medal by King George for his bravery for pulling fellow pilots from a burning plane.

Fred and Dorothea were married in 1944, son Phil was born in 1947 and daughter Ruth in 1958. He completed his degree in Engineering by night school at Cardiff University in Wales.

The family came to Canada in 1968 and settled in Port Moody, B.C., later moving to Princeton, B.C. In 1971, he accepted a position with MacMillan Bloedel in Chemainus, where he was valued for his entrepreneurial approach and willingness to take on new challenges; including environmental management of the old mill and assisting in designing the new mill to saw logs better. After retiring in 1982, Fred continued his life long passion for learning and leadership and was ordained as an Anglican minister, having ministries in Ladysmith, Cedar and Lake Cowichan.

Fred loved building, completing several homes and lovingly creating furniture for his children and grandchildren. He was a very active person. Fred could be found each morning playing tennis with his buddies. He dearly loved each of his grandchildren, Collette, Richard, Christopher, Caitlin and Kerys.

The family would like to thank the kind nurses at Ladysmith General Hospital and Nanaimo Regional Hospital Intensive Care Unit and especially his close friend and Doctor, Julian Lisinksi. Fred will rest in peace in his beloved Cold Knap, Wales; the place where he had courted his wife, loved to fish with his son, and walked the beach every Sunday morning with his daughter.

Memorial Mass will be held at St. John’s Anglican Church in Ladysmith on Wednesday, August 7, 2002 at 11 am. Reverend Victor Mann officiating.

In lieu of flowers, if you want to remember Fred, donations could be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Ladysmith General Hospital. Arrangements entrusted to Telford’s Mortuary.

DIETERICH (HARTLE), Fredrick (I373)

Ronald St Clair: the last child born to Alexander and Ann.He grew to manhood's estate,
but, at the age of 26, contracted T.B., from which he diedwithout having married,
and so without issue.

MANSON, Ronald Deuven or St Clair (I278)

Second son born to Norman and Antoinette was Ronald.
While my mother was carrying him, however, my father'syounger brother (also
Ronald) was stricken with T.B., and Antoinette offered toburse him back to
health. In this, she was not successful, and herbrother-in-law died, but not
before apparently infecting her, and she passed the virus onto the child she was
bearing. Consequently, when Ronald (the namesake) was born,he was named
after his uncle, now dead. He, too, had not long to live,since he died in fancy,
thereby leaving a gap of four years between Alex and hisnext brother.

COX, Lucy (I600)

The Manson Family Tree
1992
Winnifred: she was the first to leave home after the deathof her mother in 1859.
She went with a man named McHale, as it turned out, ane'er-do-well, who left
her after she had borne him three children -a girl, aboy(Douglas), and another
girl, Lesley.
Girl #I: The eldest (I've forgotten her name), married afarmer by the name
outside of Melfo
children but I don't know how many.
Child #I??
Child #2??
Douglas: The only son, eventually went into the army wherehe served
many years, rising to the rank of Captain. He married, andhad children, but
how many is unknown to me.
Child #I??
Child #2??
Lesley (Girl): Lesley: the youngest, unwanted by her motherwho was now
left stranded with three children to bring up by thedeparture of her husband,
she 'farmed out' this child to her younger sister, Carolyn,then living in
Regina, and married a successful insurance company manager,named Mc
Bride. More about this arrangement later. Lesley despisedher adoptive
'mother', her aunt, and couldn't stand her adoptive father.After having
received training as a secretary in Regina, she volunteeredfor active service
in the R.A.F. in the last war. She was eventually sent outto the far East to
serve in a unit there, contracted one of thoselong-lingering tropical diseases,
for which she was invalided back to Canada. Her AuntCarolyn, then living in
Montreal welcomed her back to keep her. However, Lesley didnot last much
longer, and was buried in the military section of Mt-RoyalCemetery. She had
never married.
Evelyn Charlotte: Second of the Manson daughters ofAlexander, when her
mother died in 1899, she stayed at home to serve ashousekeeper to her
brothers, and her father. However, when her father died in1905, she quickly
married Charles Truscott, of Hamilton, an office employeefor the Grand Trunk
Railway. Shortly after their marriage, they were moved outto the Divisional
office in Winnipeg. There, they lived out his working years,moving to Ottawa
when he reached retirement age. This they did in order to benear my parents,
and especially to be with my mother, with whom she had beenvery close since
her high school days in Westmount, an inner suburb ofMontreal. They never

had any children, and, on their deaths, the were interred inhis family plot in
Hamilton.
When we were children, she and her husband often used to gowith us down to
the village of Kamouraska, in the lower reaches of the St.Lawrence River, below
Quebec City. To do this, they had travel all the way fromWinnipeg, no real
hardship, since he always had a pass on any Canadian railwayfor anywhere
wanted to go. One more point. When Charles Truscott died, ingreat pain from
cancer of the colon, Evelyn (she was always called 'Dot' toall who knew her),
moved down to Montreal in order to be with her youngersister, Carolyn, adoptive
mother of Lesley of whom I have already told you.

MANSON, Evelyn Charlotte (I275)

These possible parents are based on an internet search for baptisms of children named rebecca around 1846 under the loaction of alverston. This is a tenative connection from a list of baptisms in St Nicholas Church, near Loxley, now closed.

RANDALL, Esther (I576)

Third of the sons in line, he was born in 1911, and, likehis
paternal grandmother, had reddish hair, freckles, and thetemper that is often
associated with red-heads. In his turn, ed up in McGill,where
he had enrolled into the Commerce prog that time, hisparents
were living in Ottawa, the Depression had hit, and he wasbrought back to
Ottawa without having completed his degree requirements.Rather than sit idle,
he attended a local business school in order to hone theskills he already had.
He ended up working for Canada Packers as an accountant,and, while there,
met the woman he was later to marry, Mary Brereton, anIrish-Catholic. They
had no children, since it was clear that she was sterile.They consequently
adopted a young boy, named Brucie. Bruce eventually went towork for the R.A.
Beamish Co. Ltd., a firm of small-town general small waresmerchants, very
similar to the Woolworth and Kresge chains. There, he roseto the post of
Secretary-Treasurer. In 1960, while mowing the lawn, he wassuddenly taken ill,
was rushed to the hospital with a heart attack, where hedied in hours. His body
was then transferred to a funeral home, and, while his widowwas receiving
friends and relatives, she died of a sudden heart-failure.They were buried in the
same grave, and the child, now an orphan, was sent to one ofhis mother's
relatives, a farming family somewhere in the midwestern partof the U.S. I have
no knowledge of his subsequent whereabouts.

Died of Consumption (TB) at age 21-23..

MORTIMER, William (I184)

[Notes by John Manson - 2005]
Shown in the 1881 census as a shoemakers wife

FEARNSIDE, Jane Elizabeth (I188)

[Notes by John Manson - 2005] Willam Manson and Margaret Duncan: Birth records show 8 children, earliest isAlexander, born 1766, latest is Robert, 1787. This would put Williams birth date around 1741 - 1751. In Thurso,there is only one birth for a William Manson in that period- Sept 14, 1747. That would put him at age 19 with firstchild, and at age 40 when he had their last child, Robert(our line). That wouold be consistant with the 1841 census- he would have been 95 years old.

MANSON, William (I577)

[Notes by John Manson, 2005]
Looks like William was named after his father, after the yonger William died of consumption in 1861.
Looks like he was going to be a shoemaker.

MORTIMER, Thomas Brisbane (I197)

[Notes by Norman manson - 1992]
Carolyn: Red-headed youngest daughter of Alexander, afterher mother had
died, she eventually married a man by the name of Wilbert McBride, a
successful insurance salesman operating in Regina. Heeventually rose to
become manager of his company, I believe. Never had anychildren of their
own, they were very ready to adopt one in the form of theirniece, Lesley,
youngest child of her oldest sister Winnifred. It was not ahappy experiment,
since Lesley never had any use for the woman who nurturedher through her
youth and adolescence. Lesley bitterly resented the factthat she had been
given to her aunt, and she never forgave either her motherfor surrendering her
nor her aunt who became her foster mother. A sadly misguidedchild, with
bitterness in her heart to the end of her short life!

MANSON, Caroline Caduer (I264)

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992]
Like a true Manson, Norman (senior) was born a blond, pink-
cheeked, blue-eyed son of the north -a typical Norseman. Asyou may know,
the name MANSON is Norwegian but the Mansons of Norwaycrossed over into
Scotland sometime in the Ilth or 12th century, where theyintermarried with the
local Pictish descendants -they who so vigorously opposedRoman invasion of
Scotland many centuries before. Norman was born in Montrealin 1880, almost
the last scion of his parents. When his father died in 1905,Norman married
Marie-Antoinette Senez, the younger daughter of parents whoalready had at
least three sons, and an older daughter. Antoinette was theyoungest in her
family. Brought up in the Catholic faith, she early rebelledagainst the religious
teaching to which she was exposed. At the age of 13, she ranaway from her
parochial school, and stoutly refused to go back. She waseventually placed in
an English-speaking Protestant school, where she was placedunder the tutelage
of a blond-blue-eyed young girl by name, Evelyn Manson. Theuickly became
friends, and so remained for the rest of their lives.Beginning 1907, Norman
and Antoinette begat five sons, and a single daughter.

MANSON, Norman St. Clair (I554)

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] Ann was probably the eldest sister. She moved to Canada in the early 184O's, with her husband Henry Rose. They had 3 children, of whom the third died, also taking her with him. Henry Rose remarried, then left Montreal for parts unknown. Ann Manson's Offspring i/Child #I -name, details unknown. Child #2 -name, details unknown Child #3 -died at birth.

Need to get Ann's Death date....

MANSON, Ann (I293)

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] Roberts oldest son was giventransportation money, and he eventually settled himself inGlasgow, where he became a travelling salesman. Findingthis enterprise not very renumerating, he lated sailed toCanada, at Ann's (his sisters) urging. Married once, but noissue.

[Notes from census data:
left the house by the 1841 census.

MANSON, William (I173)

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] The second son in age, aftera sharp argument with his father relative to hours at whichhe had to return to the family home after an evening out'on the town', came home late one evening to find himselflocked out, and the rest of the family dared not admit himagainst their father's wishes. Robert, accordingly, turnedround, returned to Thurso, where he staved overnight withfriends. Later the next day, he was shipped out to India,where he died on active dutv.

[Notes by John Manson - 2005] No research on date of death(Norman supplied the date of death) - might be possible toresearch offshore deaths through UK records.
