Frederick Arthur Barnaby (1892 - 1955)
Born Kentville, Kings Co., N.S., Feb.5, 1892; d. July 13, 1955, at home, (Truro, NS), s/o Brenton H. and Louise Emma (Holden) BARNABY, of Kentville and Pt. Williams, NS.
Fred's favourite engine was No. 1092 which he drove for years on the Truro Subdivision.
Fred's family recalls Fred getting up at 5 a.m. each morning, getting the wood stove going (especially in the cold weather), having breakfast, then about 7 a.m., walking down to the Truro Round House, and on some mornings, when the fireman was late/or unable to get the fire going in the engine, he would 'fire up the boiler himself' so to speak and hopefully by 8 a.m., start the daily run. Sometimes it was late as 10 p.m. before he returned home.
