Today I added one headstone photograph to the page of St. John’s United Church Cemetery, Liscomb, Guysborough County, NS.

Misener

Ida B. Misener: 1914 – 1967

wife of

Charles I. Misener: 1904 – 1988

Charles Irvin Misener was born in 1904 at West Liscomb, Guysborough County, NS, the son of Olive Zoe Pace and Andrew Jeffrey Meisner. According to his marriage record, he wed Ida Belle Hape on July 25, 1932 at Trinity Church, Halifax, NS. Charles was 27 at the time and working as a lighthouse keeper at Liscomb.

Ida Belle Hape was 22 years old when she married and was working as a domestic servant. This was her second marriage, and her maiden name was Pace. She was born at Liscomb, the daughter of Maud B. Pye and James I. Pace.

Ida first married John Everett Rex Hape on October 26, 1929 at Brooklyn, Queens County, NS. She was 20 years old and working as a housekeeper while living at Beach Meadows, Queens County. John was 21 years old, living at Ecum Secum and working as a fisherman. He was the son of Annie Joris and Arthur Hape of Ecum Secum. I could not find a death record for John, so it’s uncertain where and when he died.

According to Charles’ obituary, he died February 5, 1988 at St. Mary’s Memorial Hospital, Sherbrooke, Guysborough County, NS. He was 83 years old at the time. He had spent 35 years tending the Liscomb Island lighthouse.

Earth has no sorrow

That heaven cannot heal

According to their marriage record, Olive Zoe Pace wed Andrew Jeffrey on September 13, 1902 at Halifax, NS. Olive was 20 years old. She was born at Liscomb, the daughter of Kate and Jeffrey Pace. Andrew was 24 years old and working as a mariner. He was born in Liscomb, the son of Frances and Samuel Misener.

I could not find Andrew’s death record though it should have be on Nova Scotia Genealogy. Perhaps he died outside the province or his record was indexed incorrectly.

According to her death record, Olive Zoe Pace was born August 12, 1882 at Liscomb. Her mother’s maiden name was noted as Misener. She was born at Marie Joseph. Olive died of pulmonary tuberculosis on February 24, 1939 at Liscomb at the age of 56 years. Charley Morris of West Liscomb, who was not related, provided the information for the record.

Ina Patricia Meisner and Laurie MacLean Zinck

Today I added one headstone photograph to the page of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church Cemetery, Baker’s Road, Marie Joseph, Guysborough County, NS.

Zinck

Husband: Laurie M.

Oct. 16, 1923

Wife: Ina P.

According to various sources on the Internet, Ina Patricia Meisner was the daughter of Olive Zoe Pace (1882, Liscomb – 1939) and Andrew Jeffrey Meisner (1877, Liscomb – 1902, Halifax). I have no evidence to support this, so use this information as a guide.

From a note of an obituary being published, Laurie MacLean Zinck passed away at the age of 86, at Sherbrooke, Guysborough County, NS in July 2010. The obituary appeared in the Halifax Chronicle Herald on July 19, 2010. I may have this in my file somewhere, and if I find it, I’ll post it in the Obituary section.
