Synopsis

A Door-to-Door History of North Devon (1784-1945). Just over 1,200 acres in size, the former Town of Devon is situated on the northern banks of the St. John River across from Fredericton, the Capital City of New Brunswick. Devon became a Town in 1917 when the communities of St. Mary’s Ferry (North Devon) and Gibson (South Devon) united. St. Mary’s Ferry was so named because ferries used to leave Fredericton and cross to the north side of the St. John River and land at the end of St. Mary’s Street. This area (covered in Volume 3) was a center of stores and services for many residents on the north side. Volume 4 includes some distinctly defined communities such as the Old St. Mary’s Native Reserve on the lower part of Union Street, the area near St. Anthony’s Church, and to the north of Union Street the area of Highland Avenue leading to the Black community of Howe Settlement. Chapters include: The Natives of St. Mary’s, Friel Street, Highland Avenue, Hughes Street, Jaffrey Street (#113-#167), McKeen Street, Smith Street, St. Mary’s Street (#141-#460), and Union Street (#298-#429 and #505-#614). Each of these areas was distinct and their character will be evident when the reader becomes acquainted with their history. The houses and businesses are arranged numerically on their particular streets. The streets are presented alphabetically in individual chapters. The introductory photos of each address are placed on either the left or right side of the page, depending on their civic house number. .All surnames featured in this volume are listed with their appropriate street name. Each family is featured only once. The surnames listed with each address are those chronicled in that particular house, even though those families may have lived elsewhere during their life in Devon. In 1945 North Devon, along with South Devon (Vol.1 & 2), amalgamated with the City of Fredericton and thus Devon ceased to exist, except in the hearts and memories of its residents.
