→Thomas Edwin Loder and Family
| Line 898: | Line 898: | ||
Following on after his father John, Tom carried out various land and sea activities (farming, fishing, lumbering, carpentry, ferrying) from the Snook's Harbour family property, and also worked in the Nova Scotia coal mines, in order to make a living. After his surviving siblings moved to Boston in the 1920s, he and his family and mother Jane were the only Loders left in Snook's Harbour. In the early 1940s, Tom constructed a new family home (see photos above), near his father’s original house on the family property. Tragically, he died in a train accident in Clarenville in March 1945, just after leaving on horse-and-sled from Dr. Cross' medical clinic. This was the start of a somewhat abrupt decline of the year-round presence of the Loder family in Snook's Harbour. With son Jack in Boston, children Harold and Farleigh returned to teach in Hickman's Harbour for different periods, while wife Leah spent most winters living with Tom's relatives in Elliott's Cove not far away, before moving on to live with Harold and then Farleigh elsewhere starting in 1949. Leah, Farleigh and Harold and family returned in summer to their Snook's Harbour home for many years, until Harold's his wife Lily passed away (1973) and his health started to decline in the 1970s. Leah died in Gander in 1981 at age 89 years (36 years after Tom’s passing). | Following on after his father John, Tom carried out various land and sea activities (farming, fishing, lumbering, carpentry, ferrying) from the Snook's Harbour family property, and also worked in the Nova Scotia coal mines, in order to make a living.
