Newspaper Clippings from the Ottawa Free Press, 1872:
January 17: "A man named WHITE, residing in Upper Town, it appears, has for
some time been keeping his horse in the kitchen, which is in direct
communication with the dining room. The Health Inspector visited the place
this morning and foud the representations made to him by some neighbours to be
correct. There was the horse seen in the kitchen, next to the room where the
family eat. Penetrating the dwelling a little further, two cases of small-pox
were found in the persons of two of White's children. Comment is needless.
The horse was ordered to be removed, and the place cleaned immediately, or the
man would be brought to justice. The house was labelled Small-Pox."
January 17: "A gentleman asserts positively that he counted 34 dogs, of
divers breed and colour, last evening, on the corner of George and William

the "dog tax" fund."
February 5: "A young lady in bloomers passed down Elgin Street this afternoon.
The sight was novel and picturesque."

More from Sue:
Two notices of interest in the 1872 newspapers point to a bad smallpox epidemic
in Ottawa in 1871 and 1872:
"We are informed that within the last 8 days, 11 persons
have died of smallpox" - January 12, 1872 edition
and that, although registrations of births, death, and marriages was required -
it was not enforced and many, many never got registered:
" Only 1/3 of Births, 2/3 of Marriages and about 1/5 of
Deaths are being registered" - March 8, 1872 edition.
I'm pouring through these newspapers looking for my ancestors and thought that
perhaps many of those mentioned may never have been registered, so hopefully the
following information will help other searchers with "unregistered" events in
their ancestors' lives.
Names are as they appear (and are spelled) in the paper, all dates are the date of
death, and all deaths are in Ottawa unless otherwise stated.

_________________________________________________
For the time being, this is the end of the deaths and marriages from various newspapers
that I will be submitting. I hope someone out there was able to find a little bit of
information which they didn't know before - sometimes the only records which exist now
are in these old newspapers.
Sue
=========================================
Thanks Sue, your newspaper notices which you have contributed are an
excellent aid to all of us.
There are a lot of streets and neighbourhoods mentioned - some of the names
are no longer used.
Here are a few:
1. Maria Street is now Laurier Avenue, renamed after Wilfrid Laurier in the
20th Century. This was the southern boundary of the Nicholas Sparks estate.
2.Alice Street and the Deep Cut refers to the area on the banks of the
Rideau Canal where Somerset Street West intersects today's Queen Elizabeth
Driveway (across the Canal from Ottawa University). I don't know why it was
called the "Deep Cut" - there are lots of places where the excavation was a
lot deeper.
3. Biddy Street was in Ashburnham Hill which was a small settlement on the
east side of Bronson Avenue, I believe at the present site of
Gloucester/Nepean Streets and Bronson Avenue. Many of the residents of
Ashburnham Hill moved there c. 1850 when the section of the By Ward Market
(Lowertown) north of Cathcart was surveyed. The residents had the choice of
moving their houses to coincide with the new street alignment or buying the
new surveyed lots in Lowertown. Many just packed up and moved to Ashburnham
Hill.
November 7, 2003:
Hi Al;
I was just browsing the Bytown or Bust web site and reading the list of
births, etc from the Ottawa Times and Ottawa Free Press that you posted.
Biddy street in Ashburnham Hill is now Lisgar street (Source: Ottawa
Capitale du Canada, Lionel Brault, M. A., D. Ph. 1942). My
grgrgrandfather Samuel ALBERT lived at the corner of Biddy and Bay in the 1870's.
Frank Watters E-Mail: wattersft@gowebway.com
4. Rochesterville, named after early industrialist John Rochester, and Mount
Sherwood were west of Booth Streets, between Carling Avenue on the south and
Lebreton Flats to the north.
5. Orangeville was north of Dow's Lake, near Preston Street today.
6. The St. Louis Dam was a small settlement on Dow's Lake near the dam built
by the St. Louis family when the canal was constructed, 1826-1832.
7. There was originally a cemetery south of Lowertown where Ottawa
University is today. It was called the "Sandy Hill Cemetery" and was
Catholic but I believe there was a Protestant section. A few times,
Protestants were exhumed and re-buried in the Anglican Cemetery in Hull.
Later, during the 1850's, before the present day Beechwood and Notre Dame
Cemeteries were established, there were two city blocks north of Rideau
Street at Coburg Street (close to the Rideau River) set aside for 4
cemeteries - RC, Presbyterian, Methodist and Anglican. These cemeteries were
adjacent to each other.
