We chronicle today the death of Robert CUNARD, one of the oldest residents of Indiantown (St. John). He was a brother of Thomas CUNARD, two years his senior, who removed from Indiantown to Westfield about a year since, where he resides with a married daughter, and when last heard from enjoyed good health. Mr. Cunard's parents came to St. John with the Loyalists in 1783 and settled on the Reach, but took up their residence at Indiantown a short time after the beginning of the present century. When Mr. Cunard was born there were but 8 or 10 houses in Indiantown, the material for one of which was brought from the States, and except by a bye path, the place had no communication with St. John other than water. In the old time news came from England twice a year and a week was occupied in transmission of mail from St. John to Fredericton. Mr. Cunard was by occupation a surveyor of lumber, until incapacipated by age and he was the oldest Mason in the city. He leaves a widow, two sons, one of whom resides in Boston and four daughters, two of whom are unmarried.
