The Week of Prayer, 1865
The Abolition of Slavery and Cessation of War
Beginning on Friday, January 6, 1865; James Davis, Hermann Schmettau, Joseph Ketley, Henry Bleby, Thomas Slater, Theo. S. Gregory, Geo. McFarlane, and E. A. Wallbridge and others held Prayer Meetings in the towns Georgetown and New Amsterdam and the rural districts. They wailed against slavery and the effects of war on the human society. It seems to me. Some one hundred and forty – seven years, later, that, their efforts commendable indeed, was in vain and simply a waste of time and energy. I would have advised those persons to spend their energies in agricultural industry.

John Patterson Mansell
OBITUARY: - Mr. John Patterson Mansell, Passes On - Funeral Largely Attended
Georgetown, Wednesday, May 3 - people from every walk of life gathered yesterday afternoon to pay their last tribute to Mr. John Patterson Mansell, a city businessman, whose funeral took place from his residence, 21 Broad Street.
Mr. Mansell took ill about a month ago but during the last ten days his condition worsened and he passed away at his residence about 4 AM, yesterday.
Born at Golden Grove Village, East Coast, Demerara, 63 years ago, Mr. Mansell, was in the baking business for more than thirty years and in his time was much respected, proof of which was seen at the funeral.
He was a member of Court Georgetown, ancient Order of Foresters and was also a popular figure in the field of sport, having promoted several boxing bouts. His amiable disposition won him a wide circle of friends and he will long be remembered by the boys of the Plaisance Orphanage to whom he was exceedingly kind.
Long before the cortege left for the church of the Immaculate Conception, Brickdam, where a choral service was conducted by the Reverend Peter McCaffrey, S.J., there was a large gathering in and out of the house and many were the expressions of sympathy from the vast crowd who testified to the sterling character of the departed.
Honourable J. I. de Aguiar, Managing Director of Messrs. J. P. Santos & Company Limited in a well-worded tribute to Mr. Mansell said: “ I am unable to find words to express adequately the high regard I held for John Patterson Mansell, or Pat as I have known him for the last forty years and more. As a businessman his transactions have been of the best as a friend of the poor and indeed to everyone, including myself his deeds and his kindness will be remembered for a long time. I think he died as he wished, endeavoring to work and live a life that will remain in our memory.”
After prayers were said at the house the cortege proceeded to the Catholic Cathedral where a service was held after which the procession left for the cemetery where the body was entombed in the old Roman Catholic ground at Le Repentir.
Those left to mourn are his wife Mabel Dance (to whom he was married 33 years ago) three children - Mrs. Alan Haly and the Misses Patsy and Elsa Mansell; a brother, George and a sister, Mrs. Edith Reid.
The corpse was borne from the house by Messrs. A. O. Haly (son-in-law); P. Dettering; A. L. DaSliva; J. R. Perreira; Honourable J. I. de Aguiar and Dr. J. Bisessar, while bakers before him at the Church and at the graveside.

Georgetown, Wednesday, May 3 - people from every walk of life gathered yesterday afternoon to pay their last tribute to Mr. John Patterson Mansell, a city businessman, whose funeral took place from his residence, 21 Broad Street.
Mr. Mansell took ill about a month ago but during the last ten days his condition worsened and he passed away at his residence about 4 AM, yesterday.
Born at Golden Grove Village, East Coast, Demerara, 63 years ago, Mr. Mansell, was in the baking business for more than thirty years and in his time was much respected, proof of which was seen at the funeral.
He was a member of Court Georgetown, ancient Order of Foresters and was also a popular figure in the field of sport, having promoted several boxing bouts. His amiable disposition won him a wide circle of friends and he will long be remembered by the boys of the Plaisance Orphanage to whom he was exceedingly kind.
Long before the cortege left for the church of the Immaculate Conception, Brickdam, where a choral service was conducted by the Reverend Peter McCaffrey, S.J., there was a large gathering in and out of the house and many were the expressions of sympathy from the vast crowd who testified to the sterling character of the departed.
Honourable J. I. de Aguiar, Managing Director of Messrs. J. P. Santos & Company Limited in a well-worded tribute to Mr. Mansell said: “ I am unable to find words to express adequately the high regard I held for John Patterson Mansell, or Pat as I have known him for the last forty years and more. As a businessman his transactions have been of the best as a friend of the poor and indeed to everyone, including myself his deeds and his kindness will be remembered for a long time. I think he died as he wished, endeavoring to work and live a life that will remain in our memory.”
After prayers were said at the house the cortege proceeded to the Catholic Cathedral where a service was held after which the procession left for the cemetery where the body was entombed in the old Roman Catholic ground at Le Repentir.
Those left to mourn are his wife Mabel Dance (to whom he was married 33 years ago) three children - Mrs. Alan Haly and the Misses Patsy and Elsa Mansell; a brother, George and a sister, Mrs. Edith Reid.
The corpse was borne from the house by Messrs. A. O. Haly (son-in-law); P. Dettering; A. L. DaSliva; J. R. Perreira; Honourable J. I. de Aguiar and Dr. J. Bisessar, while bakers before him at the Church and at the graveside.

Government County Scholarships, 1934
Don’t let them school you - Don’t let them fool you - Do the research yourself – access scientific information - know the truth...
I was listening and watching the symposium honoring the late Dr. Walter Anthony Rodney (1942-1980) held at York College sponsored by New York Chapter of Queen'’ College Alumni and WBAI FM99.5 June 12, 2010. Professor Winston McGowan pointed out that Rodney failed to win the Government County Scholarships, 1953. I challenge myself to look up the names of those who were awarded scholarships in 1953 and try to ascertain their contributions to society and what their legacy is.
However, while looking through the collection of clippings, I have in the attempt to locate what I collected on Levi-Campbell Union and its relationship to Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara; I accessed this masterpiece.
What kind of a student was Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham in 1934?
How was he in Reading and Oral Tests, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar and Composition, Geography, History, Nature Knowledge and/or Drawing?
How did Burnham compare with his contemporaries? PNC lackeys and academic will try to refurbish Burnham as if he were the best ever scholar produced by the colony of British Guiana. That is simply "far from reality"...Natural Black
Let’s have a peep into the past - shall we?
