John, Jane and their children carried out a variety of activities on and from their 26-acre tract of land on the northwestern side of Snook's Harbour. These included farming, raising cattle and poultry, logging and sawmilling, fishing, seal hunting, buying and selling supplies and products (like fish and lumber), running a dry goods and grocery store (Jane), and building and operating schooners and other boats<ref name=Foot14/>. The latter included participating in the summer fishery on the Labrador coast and along the "French shore" (the eastern side of the Great Northern Peninsula). They were also community leaders through their involvement with the church and schools; the Congregationalist mission started a school in their house, and John then built a small schoolhouse in which services were also held. John also served as a postmaster and deputy sheriff of the District Court<ref name=Foot15/>. | John, Jane and their children carried out a variety of activities on and from their 26-acre tract of land on the northwestern side of Snook's Harbour.

John and Jane’s extensive interactions with relatives (including some of the Smith, Cooper and Baker Families) and others in the area is reflected in 2 photos of their garden party celebrating the launch of the 35-ton family schooner '''Mistletoe''' from their property in 1900. The photos, taken from the vicinity of the family house looking out over Smith Sound towards Apsey Brook, show a gala event with banners, flags, an archway, a food tent, top hats, and children playing "football" in front of a wooden goal frame. The Mistletoe remained in family possession until 1920. Family lore indicates that John-b1850 also had a connection to a schooner named '''Gladiola''' (perhaps one of the two with that name built in Smith Sound in 1879 and 1908), and it also seems likely that he had a connection to the 22-ton schooner '''Lilly Joyce''' that was launched in Snook's Harbour in 1885<ref name=Foot08/><ref name=Foot09/>. Involvement with these vessels would be consistent with the indication that "in the late 1880s [and] early 1890s … the Loders … operated fishing schooners out of Snook’s Harbour"<ref name=Foot03/>. | John and Jane’s extensive interactions with relatives (including some of the Smith, Cooper and Baker Families) and others in the area is reflected in 2 photos of their garden party celebrating the launch of the 35-ton family schooner '''Mistletoe''' from their property in 1900<ref name=Foot08/><ref name=Foot09/>.
