2851 Our oral family history says Ebenezer was born in Bailey's Cove, which is located across from Island Cove, when his parents were making the move from Bishop's Cove to Island Cove.

Ebenezer was confirmed in the Anglican Church in Hodge's Cove on 30 September 1890 at the age of 17 years. At the same time Naomi Smith was confirmed - she was 22 years. - her father was Isaac Smith

Ebenezer and Siscely moved to Buttler Cove about 1918. The family is listed in Butter Cove in the 1921 census records:
Ebenezer SmithTH M Head Married 1873 Nov 47 Island Cove, TB
Sicily Smith F Wife Married 1884 Aug 33 Butter Cove
Robt J. Smith M Son Single 1906 Dec. 14 Island Cove
Emily Ann Smith F Daughter Single 1907 Sep 13 Island Cove
Samuel J. Smith M Son Single 1910 Nov 10 Island Cove, T. Bay
Moses Smith M Son Single 1912 Apr. 8 Island Cove, T. Bay

Ebenezer and Siscely's youngest child, Abraham (Abe) was born in Butter Cove in 1923. In 1935, when the census records were taken, Ebenezer and Siscely were living in Butter Cove:
Smith Ebenezer Head M M 63
Smith Cicily Wife F M 50
Smith Moses Son M S 23
Smith Abraham Son M S 11

Ebenezer was a fisherman and a logger. He was the owner of the 18 ton schooner Twilight in Random Trinity Bay (code 4290, Reg # s927064). The Twilight was built in Indian Arm in 1899. Other numbers connected with the schooner 25725 and 047RA1. According to family oral history, Ebenezer had pnemonia one spring and was late going to Labrador - he went in August but still came home with a full load of fish.

In 1915, William Henry Dodge went fishing in Labrador with Ebenezer on the Twilight.

Following the death of Siscely, Ebenezer married Elizabeth Ann Drodge Stacey, widow of Charles Stacey (1858-1932). Elizabeth was born in 1876, daughter of Albert Drodge and Esther Wallace.

In 1945, according to the census records, Ebenezer and Elizabeth were living in Little Heart's Ease:
Smith Eleazer F M M 75 Island Cove Little Hts.Ease
Smith Elizabeth No Entry F M 70 Little Hts.Ease Winterton
Smith Abram No Entry M M 22 Butter Cove Little Hts.Ease

2852 Owned Aurora Home Hardware (written 2016)

It all started with Stuart and Doreen Barfitt
It's a true family affair at Aurora Home Hardware Building Centre, a pretty town in horse country north of Toronto. With his down-to-earth approach to life, Stuart Barfitt doesn't fit the idea of a typical Aurora resident, but the area was much different when he first arrived from Newfoundland in 1948. He worked for Canada Packers for 18 years then got into the hardware business when he bought a small hardware store in town. He joined Home Hardware in 1969 after a visit from the local Area Manager Jeff Lee and a quick trip to St. Jacobs convinced him it was the right move.

Stuart has been retired for 20 years, although he still builds picnic tables, in one of the many garages on his son Randy's property, that are sold in the store. He had just finished 22 of them on the rainy, cool day in June when I first visited him and two of his three sons at the store. Stuart has building in his blood - on which subject, more shortly. His three sons, Russ, Randy and Robert, and their respective wives, now own and run the business, with 70 employees including a plethora of third generation Barfitts - Robbie and Carlie (Randy's two kids), John (Russ) and Calvin (Robert).

"Never missed a day"
The business has had three locations over the years: the original 2,000 square foot store on Yonge Street, then a somewhat larger location at Yonge and Wellington that they moved to in 1974 and their current 25,000 square foot store on Wellington Street East which was a farmer's field in 1986 when Stuart and his late wife Doreen bought the property. The family built the store from the ground up - literally. Doing virtually everything themselves with a little help from their friends. They levelled and compacted the ground, using an old back hoe that is a relic from another era, trucking in fill—at one point there were 20 trucks pulling 100 tons of fill up Yonge Street. They installed their own water system. Randy did all the welding and at one point Stuart remembers, even their Home Hardware rep pitched in - he turned up one day when they were working on the asphalt and someone handed him a pair of rubber boots. The entire project took about 10 months, and they worked through "probably the worst fall" ever, Stuart remembers, often having to push the backhoe through the muck. They kept the old store open and running throughout the building process, moving out the inventory in stages. One week they closed the old store on Saturday night and the next week they opened the new store on Monday morning. "Never missed a day," Randy says proudly.

The community has changed over the years, from a small town where they knew everyone who came through the door, to an upscale and growing neighbourhood of chic restaurants and smart shops. Like Stuart, the 25,000 square foot store takes a no-frills approach, a bit out of keeping with the genteel feel of the town, but not surprising given that the majority of their business is contractor-based. Stuart never actually worked in the current building, preferring to build a house a year, and occasionally working at night creating store displays. When they were kids, the boys worked in the store every day after school, learning the business. Today the three sons have divided the responsibilities in a way that works for everyone, keeping all the Barfitts busy and readying the third generation for the day when they take the business over, still a few years down the road.

Stuart and his boys reminisce about the early days in the original store. They still have the first dollar bill the business earned, to remind them of their start. The Barfitts have been part of a process of change that, in relatively few years, has taken them from a small, old fashioned hardware store where every bill was written and added up by hand, where they did not even bother with a cash register, to a large HHBC with a lot of sophisticated systems. They built the business, with their own physical labour and hard work year after year, so the sense of family values is strong even after all the years, all the changes and all the growth. When it comes to the important stuff, some things never change.

Stuart and his wife Doreen went on several of Walter's study trips: Stuart remembers that Doreen and Jean, Walter's wife, got along famously, even getting into trouble together when Jean blew the bus horn in a town that had strict bylaws against doing that very thing. They got on the road in a hurry that day!

CBC Report...

The long-time head of the Gander International Airport Authority has died.

Gary Vey, who served as airport president and CEO for more than 13 years, died on Christmas Day, according to a notice published on the website of Stacey's Funeral Home.

He was 65.

Vey led the airport authority between 2001 and 2014, said a statement from the authority. It said before that he was the head of a group that worked to transfer the airport from Transport Canada to the authority.

He retired as president and CEO in July 2014.

According to Gander Mayor Claude Elliott, Vey was instrumental in guiding Gander airport through its tough financial difficulties in 2006.

2006 | Gander airport warns it could close without Ottawa's help
2007 | Aid package lands at Gander airport, but with strings attached
Vey and the airport authority warned in 2006 that the institution was at risk of declaring bankruptcy.

By May 2007, officials had secured a deal with the federal government that guaranteed up to $5 million for the airport.

"At times, it didn't look very good at the airport. At times we thought it might close. At times we thought we didn't know how we were going to get through it," Elliott told CBC News on Tuesday night.

"But he hung in there, and he guided her through probably some of the most difficult times in the history of Gander airport."

Cut too short'

Airport chairman Des Dillion said in a statement that Vey was a "singular driving force" for the airport.

"We all have heavy hearts after Gary's sudden passing," Dillon said. "He believed deeply in what the airport could become and was committed to bringing that to fruition."

The cause of Vey's death was not disclosed. In a Facebook post, the airport authority said that Vey's "time was cut too short."
The Gander Airport family was deeply saddened by the passing of former President and CEO Gary Vey on Monday.
Gary served a distinguished 17 year career leading Gander International Airport, retiring in July of 2014 at the age of 63.
We remember a dedicated business leader, aviation professional, father and grandparent. The airport will never again see a champion as dedicated as Gary. Gary was fearless, funny and strong. He was a proud Newfoundlander who cared deeply about the airport and the people who make it fly.
Gary's time was cut too short, but his legacy forever endures. His mark on both the airport and people around him is indelible.
Our thoughts are with Gary's family and loved ones at this time.

Elliott said Tuesday that he was surprised to hear about Vey's death.

"It was a shock. I knew Mr. Vey had been sick there last year for a while, but I understand he was doing pretty good," he said.

The mayor said Vey was a long-time resident of Gander, and the town was losing a great volunteer.

"He was a man who was well-liked in the community. I never heard anything bad about Mr. Vey," he said.

The airport CEO also briefly served as MHA for Gander from 1995 to 1996.

A funeral service is scheduled for Thursday morning at St. Martin's Anglican Cathedral in Gander. 
Vey, Gary Reginald (I31955)
