• Notes

  Found at: http://home.earthlink.net/~lkstrong/s00724.htm From The Enclyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador: "The eldest son ... he may have been born in New Harbour, church records giving his birthplace as 'Trinity Bay'. ... son of Elizabeth and Charles Newhook. ... Newhook was killed in St. John's in the spring of 1839 when he fell from the mast of a wrecked vessel on which he had been working". From "Pot Heads and Drumhoops, A Folk History of New Harbour, Trinity Bay" (1995), by Garry Cranford with Raymond Hillier: Charles Newhook II was the town's leading citizen. When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded, "Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a schooner with his wife's corpse on board". ------------ Charles Newhook (second) was in St.John's in the spring of 1839, when he fell from a vessel's mast and was killed. "The Times", a city newspaper, in it's issue of May 15, 1839, has the following news item: - "Died at this place Monday last of concussion of the brain, accasioned by an accidental fall while engaged in the duties of his proffession, Mr. Charles Newhook, aged 65 years, for upwards of thirty years master shipbuilder in Trinity and neighbourhood for Messrs John Bingley Garland and Co. Mr. Newhook was a most skillful, active and persevering man, and his death is sincerely regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance." The issue of May 14, 189, of "The Royal Gazette", reports the death more fully, thus: - "In the afternoon of yesterday, the coroner was called in to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Charles Newhook, S., of Trinity, who was accidentally killed by falling from the mast of a wrecked vessel at the South Side of this harbour, a verdict to this effect was returned by the jury. The deeased Mr. Newhook was well known and much respected both in this community and in Trinity Bay." He was actually in his sixty-first year, and was buried in the Anglican cemetary at Trinity.
