Archibald Walter Longhurst Dear Longhurst Cousins,
As many of you know, I have been in search of my father, Alfred Thomas Burton Longhurst of Belleville,
Ontario. Luckily for me, I found him alive and well. For this reason, I am planning a trip to Ontario for the week of July 13-18. I would like to meet with any of you who are interested in seeing the cousin from San Diego, California. Not sure when I will be able to come to Ontario again but I am planning a trip for July 2003 to Victoria, B.C. for the cousins who live in western Canada. I know that Pauline is in England so this part of the invitation is for her. Can't say if I will ever get to see you in person but if there is anything you would like for me to pick up in my travels to Canada, just let me know. A little family history so that you will know how closely we are related:

Archibald worked for CNR as a car inspector, on the Barrie-Belleville run. His work also took him to several other CNR division points, which meant that he and his family moved around a lot.

Archibald was a member of the Belleville Lodge, # 123, of the Masonic Temple of Freemasons. To be a member of this fraternity, one is required "to be a man, over the age of twenty-one; to believe in a Supreme Being; to live an ethical and moral life; and have a strong interest in the Fraternity and desire to participate in its charities and its activities."

# Randall Longhurst died August 22, 2000, in Belleville General Hospital. Randall had had pain in his legs for some time, had failing kidneys, and contracted pneumonia while in the hospital.

"Uncle Don" (as he was known to ATB) served in the Canadian Navy during World War II, receiving a medal for protecting convoys on the "Murmansk run". Following the war, Randall worked for the railroad, then retired after 35 years with Northern Telecom in Belleville.

Alfred remembers...

...meeting "Uncle Don" a few times in Halifax during the war, while both were stationed there. They had a scheme to sell cigarettes they'd gotten for next to nothing from the Navy's stores to civilians for a good profit, but in leaping from the harbourcraft to the dock, Alfred lost more than half of his when they spilled out of his coat, where he'd been carrying them. Alfred also worked for Northern Telecom (but in Brampton), and would speak with "Uncle Don" at times while there.

Randall was a member of the Salvation Army, and played in the Salvation Army band. Randall was also a member of the Masons. He enjoyed sports, and played for the Cobourg Galloping Ghosts in his youth.

Randall and his family lived on a farm in Foxboro, Ontario for some 43 years.
