Hi Frank, I don't have the obituary for A Frank Hayden, and there is a mistake in either his headstone or the cemetery listing at http://www.jedh.com/Halifax/halifaxh.htm Ethel is in listing #199, with a Frank B in #200, his dates 1929 - 1952, and Frank D in #70, 1929 - 1952. This would be their son. It's more likely to be Frank the husband in #200, but I won't be to Ship Harbour until at least the summer to check it.
Here is a transcription of their marriage announcement: Hayden - Laybolt The marriage took place last evening at Trinity Church, Rev. L. J. Donaldson officiating, of Frank Hayden and Miss Ethel Viola Laybolt. The bride was dressed in navy blue Canton crepe, with grey hat and shoes and stockings, and carried a bouquet of carnations. She was attended by Miss Christine Sims, who was dressed in navy blue crepe and carried a bouquet of carnations. The groom was attended by Gerald Druenvack, and William Roche presided at the organ. A large number of guests were present. The happy couple left on a trip to Ship Harbor <sic> to visit relatives of the bride, and on their return will reside at No. 13 Macara Street. (Newspaper clipping, unknown paper, April 1925 handwritten) Their marriage on April 22, 1925 is in NSHVS. Frank is listed as a fireman. Here is Ethel's obituary; The Chronicle-Herald/The Mail-Star Published: 07/15/99 Page: C3 HAYDEN, Ethel Viola - 96, Halifax, died peacefully in the QEII Health Sciences Centre on July 13, 1999, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Lower Ship Harbour, she was the daughter of the late William and Celesta (Power) Laybolt. She is survived by her daughters, Dorothy, Halifax; Inez, Terrence Bay; and son Ralph, Dartmouth; 19 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson. She was predeceased by her husband, Abel; infant daughter, Florence; daughter, Joan; son, Frank; brothers, Cecil, Reg, Clem, Ernest; sisters, Mabel, Naomi, and Beatrice; grandson, Gary; and great-granddaughter, Jessica. Visitation 2-4, 7-9 p.m. today, July 15, and Friday, July 16, in Rowlings Funeral Home, Musquodoboit Harbour. Funeral service to be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 17, at St. Stephen's Church, Lower Ship Harbour. Burial to follow in Church Cemetery. Family flowers only. Donations to St. Stephen's Cemetery Fund or any charity. The obituary doesn't mention it but Ethel's sister Mabel Dorothy was married to Abel Frank's brother Winston Churchill Hayden. Here is Mabel's obituary: The Chronicle-Herald/The Mail-Star Published: 10/18/93 Page: C3 HAYDEN, Mabel Dorothy - 92, St. Jean, P.Q., formerly of West Ship Harbour, died October 15, 1993, in St. Jean. Born in Lower West Ship Harbour, she was a daughter of the late William and Celesta Laybolt. She was a member of the Anglican Church of Canada. Having married in September 1920 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, she and her family moved to London, Ont. and later settled in St. Jean. She is survived by three daughters, Donzella, Halifax; Doris Bissonnett, St. Jean; Edith MacInnis, Kentville; two sons, Gerald, Nanaimo, B.C.; George, Montreal; sister, Ethel, Halifax; brother, Reginald, Ship Harbour; several grand- children, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Winston; two daughters, Phyllis, one in infancy; a son in infancy; two sisters, Beatrice Holm, Naomi; three brothers, Ernest, Clement, Cecil. Funeral and burial will be in in St. Jean. Donations may be made to Alzheimers Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation. Mabel's daughter Donzella went by Laybolt, and was raised, I believe, by her grandparents, I don't think she was Winston's daughter. (She passed away in 2002 in BC, unmarried I think) I don't have a death date or place for Winston, born about 1900, from age at marriage. If you get Abel Frank's obituary could you also forward it to me please?
