Joshua Oakes After an illness of some months the death of Capt. Joshua Oakes took place at his residence on Monday morning, leaving a widow and three brothers and three sisters to mourn their loss. Capt. Oakes was a familiar figure in Bridgewater and in various ports of the LaHave River, he having commanded a packet, and later the steamer Bridgewater for many years between Bridgewater and Halifax. He was very popular with the traveling public and all with whom he had business or social relations. He was a member of the Masonic order who will have charge of the funeral on Wednesday. Captain Oakes commanded respectively freight and passenger boats, the schooners Ida May, Bridgewater packet, and Pansy, running from Bridgewater to Halifax. As transporation improved so did the facilities, and in 1888 Capt. Oakes went to Scotland, where he watched the building of the steamer Bridgewater, and when completed brought her to Bridgewater, where she was engaged in the Bridgewater-Halifax packet service until railway accommodations replaced the marine service. He was a member of the Church of England and a Conservative in politics. The funeral service will be at his late residence and Holy Trinity Church. Contributed by Linda Bedford
