Biography or History: In 1892 the medical missionary Sir Wilfred Grenfell arrived in Newfoundland and began his passionate attempt to bring medical care and social welfare programs to the people of Northern Newfoundland and Labrador. Grenfell, the son of a Church of England minister, was heavily influenced by a chance encounter with an American evangelist named D. L. Moody who preached that religion should be expressed by rendering services to mainkind. At that time Grenfell was a young medical student at the University of London. Upon completion of his medical studies, he was persuaded by his professor of surgery, Sir Frederick Treves, to join the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fisherman (RNMDSF), where he provided medical and spiritual aid to the fishermen of the North Sea. In 1892, while still involved with the RNMDSF, Grenfell made a trip to Newfoundland and Labrador to determine the need for the Mission's services there. He arrived in St. John's that summer and saw the destruction caused by a fire earlier in the year. After spending a few days tending to those in need, he embarked on his journey down the Labrador Coast. Grenfell travelled as far north as Hopedale and was amazed by the poverty and the sickness of many of the people in the communities. Medical care of any kind was extremely rare in Labrador so people turned to folk remedies to treat injuries and illnesses. This often did more harm than good. Over the course of that first summer, Grenfell treated more than 900 people and dispensed all the supplies he had brought with him. In that short time he developed a reputation among the people of Labrador as a great healer. He would be known as this for the rest of his life. Newfoundland and Labrador has requested help from the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen many times before but had not received aid because of a lack of funds. When Grenfell arrived back in St. John's in the Fall of 1892 fundraising efforts to support the mission were already underway. Grenfell returned to try to procure as much funding as possible for hospeitals, medical personnel and supplies. He began a speaking tour in which he vividly described the hardships endured by the people of the Labrador Coast. The tour was a great success. Proceeds from it provided enough funding to build two hospitals and buy a steam vessel. When Grenfell returned to Labrador in the Summer of 1893 he brought with him two doctors and two nurses recruited from the London hospital to help bring medical services to the people scattered throughout Northern Newfoundland and Coastal Labrador. Grenfell established his first hospital at Battle Harbour and the second at Indian Bay. Over the course of the next few years he divided his time between tending to the sick and injured in Northern Newfoundland and Coastal Labrador and raising funds in Canada, the United States and Europe. Although he was receiving acclaim for his good work, the Mission decided Grenfell should return to the North Sea, as he was devoting too much time and money to the Labrador mission. Over the next three years he would return to Labrador only occasionally. In 1899 Dr. Willway, who had replaced Grenfell on the Labrador coast, had to leave but suggested that Grenfell be sent back to resume his duties. When Grenfell returned to Labrador he brought with him not only his medical skills and supplies but the belief that with social programs and improved economic conditions, the lives of the people he tended improved dramatically. His interest in social programs led to the establishment of an orphanage at St. Anthony on Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula, a third hospital at Harrington, Labrador and the first Grenfell nursing station at Forteau. Grenfell continued to recruit medical personnel and volunteers to work with him. In 1909 the first inter- denominational school in Newfoundland was established at St. Anthony. Grenfell believed that children should not be segregated on the basis of religion and that it was better to have one large, well equipped school than several small, inferior ones. Grenfell also attempted to improve the economics of the region. In 1896 he founded a cooperative store at Red Bay which did very well. Several others were also started but did not meet with the same success. In 1904 a sawmill was built at Canada Bay and it operated successfully for several years. Grenfell wanted to over throw the credit system under which fishermen and merchants operated because he believed that the system kept fisherman impoverished and powerless. Grenfell advocated for diversification of the economy through industrial works projects which would give people cash employment. He promoted the production of marketable commodities as an extra source of production. By 1914 there were fourteen industrial centres in operation. In 1912 the International Grenfell Mission was founded to oversee the running of the works Dr. Grenfell had undertaken. After this Grenfell spent most of his time away from Labrador, across the ocean in Europe finding funding to keep the mission going. By now, Grenfell was also the author of articles and books which told of his adventures in his adopted home. One particularly popular publication was Adrift on an Ice Pan, which told of one of his most dangerous experiences while in Labrador. In attempting to answer a call, Grenfell became stranded on a piece of ice which had started to drift out to sea. Grenfell survived the night on the ice pan but in order to keep himself alive he had to sacrifice three of his dogs for their fur coats. The next morning he was saved by some fishermen. Grenfell's unfailing courage and determination to help others earned him many accolades and awards, including an Honorary Doctorate of Medicine from Oxford University, the first ever awarded. In 1907 he was appointed a Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. In 1928 he was chosed as fifth Honorary Knight for Life of the Loyal Knights of the Round Table, a rank reserved for men who have done great service to humanity. In 1911, he was awarded the Murchison Prize from the Royal Geographical Society for his maps and chart of Labrador. Dr. Grenfell retired from his years or service to the people of Northern Newfoundland and Labrador in 1935 at the age of seventy. He and his wife, Anne McClanhan, a wealthy American he had married in 1909, went to live in Vermont. By that time there were in operation five hospitals, seven nursing stations, two orphanages, fourteen industrial centres, four summer schools, three agricultural stations, twelve clothing distributing centres, four hospital ships, one supply schooner, a dozen community centres, several cooperative stores, a cooperative lumber mill and a haul-up slip for ship repairs. Sir Wilfred Grenfell died at his home in Vermont in 1940. His ashes, along with those of his wife who had died two years before, were brought back to Labrador. 1.0 Grenfell Photographs 1.01 Grenfell Photographs, 1920's 1.01.001 Two little girls, one holding ... 1.01.002 Young boy in snow 1.01.003 Huskie dogs 1.01.004 S.S.

    ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST. JOHN'S, NL Mary Schwall Photograph Collection COLL-206 Website: Archives and Special Collections Author: Bert Riggs Date: 1996 Scope and Content: This collection consists of 135 photographs taken by Mary Schwall or her companions while on excursions to Newfoundland during 1913 and 1915. They are a pictorial record of a journey by ship from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, a train trip from Channel to St. John's, and a trip from St. John's north around the coast to St. Anthony, across the Strait of Belle Isle to Labrador and down the west coast of the Great Northern Peninsula. There is evidence that the photographs were taken during two trips to Newfoundland, as two photographs have the date 1913 on the back with the caption, while another has the date 1915. The photographs provide visual documentation of Mary Schwall's vacations, but they also provide valuable information on Newfoundland communities during the early years of the twentieth century. Vernacular architecture historians have attested to the fact that several of the photographs show buildings only previously known through oral accounts. As well there is visual documentation of people, especially children, which can provide information on lifestyle, dress, nutrition, disease, and a host of other subjects.In addition, there are 56 postcards with images covering much the same geographical area as the photographs, leading one to believe that they were purchased in larger communities during stopovers, or possibly in St. John's. Most of the postcards were produced for the St.

  • 19 Century Newfoundland Outport Merchants the Jersey Room, Burin
    19th century Newfoundland outport merchants The Jersey Room, Burin, c. 1885, S.H. Parsons photo (GPA collection). submitted to Provincial Historic Commemorations Program Dept. Business, Tourism, Culture & Rural Development P.O. Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1E 1J3 submitted by Robert H. Cuff Historian/Writer Gerald Penney Associates Limited PO Box 428, St. John’s, NL A1C 5K4 10 November 2014 Executive Summary In their impact on Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic development, patterns of settlement, and community life, 19th century outport merchants made a significant historic contribution. Their secondary impact, on the Province’s political and cultural development, may be less obvious but was nonetheless vital. Each merchant had a demonstrable impact beyond his home community, in that each supplied nearby communities. Although a merchant’s commercial home sphere was typically in the headquarters bay or region, the majority of the outport merchants were also involved in both fishing and in supplying planters/ fishers in migratory or vessel-based fisheries elsewhere: the Labrador and French Shore fisheries; the seal hunt; and the western boat and Bank fisheries of the south coast. For the purposes of this review it was found helpful to draw a distinction between “resident outport merchants” who lived the full range of their adult lives in rural Newfoundland and the “merchant gentry” whose outport residency was an episode in their business and family life which was otherwise substantially spent in the Old Country or in St. John’s. The resident group may be more worthy of consideration for the Province’s commemoration program. Existing commemorations tend to favour the merchant gentry.

The excellent preservation and relatively simple structural history of the 489 Ma Betts Cove Complex and its cover sequence, the Snooks Arm Group, makes it an ideal template to test stratigraphic correlations across the Baie Verte Peninsu- la. Each major ophiolite sequence on the Baie Verte Peninsula can be correlated with the Betts Cove Complex. Correlative units include, boninites, 487 Ma felsic volcanic rocks (Rambler rhyolite) and overlying island-arc tholeiitic basalts of the lower Pacquet Harbour Group; the layered cumulates, gabbro, 489 Ma trondhjemite dykes, sheeted dykes, boninite and island-arc tholeiitic basalts of the Point Rousse Complex; and layered similar rocks of the Advocate Complex and lower Flat- water Pond Group.
