Interview recorded the Summer of 1984

At the time the last remaining child of Richard Charles & Leah Bagley, Leonard Bagley Fraser was recorded at the Bagley Family Reunion held in Sheffield, New Brunswick, Canada:

"Will was born in, oh let me see?1896.

He came down here to a farm owned by a family named Barker. He lived here with them. The way I understand it he had a pretty rough road. He wasn?t abused. But, he was expected to do a man?s work there on the farm. [Will would have been 7 when he arrived in Canada.] Anyhow? when the war broke out? the First World War broke out the 4th of August 1913. And I guess he wanted to [Words that follow are unintelligible] so he could [Words that follow are unintelligible].

He never carried a gun all the time he was in the service. He joined the medical corps as a stretcher bearer. He went all through the war?was shot up a couple of times. He went into the [Words that follow are unintelligible] and back. Wound up being gassed and in hospital several times. [The gas in the trenches burned his lungs. While recuperating in French hospital he was taught bead weaving as therapy. The family still have a blue glass seed-bead necklace with a gold seed-bead fleur de lis that Will made while in hospital.]

By the time Will and the boys came home from France they really should have gotten a full disability pension at the time. Charles told him at the time, ?Don?t take off the uniform ?til you get a pension.?

They [Will and wife Florence] asked and questioned, filled out papers and tried to find out. They fought for years. His wife, Florence, fought for years. And when they finally got the pension it was $16.00 a month. And that?s what they lived on, that and chickens and fishing salmon.

He married Florence Moore from Sheffield. They had Dick, Ken, Jean, Irene, Donna and several years later, Darryl came along. He was the omega.

This is the original house they used to live in. [The site of the Family Reunion, then owned by Kenneth Bagley, had been the home of Florence?s parents William & Martha Moore.] And Will lived just down the road here."

[EDITORS NOTE: The full transcript of the interview can be found on Leonard Bagley Fraser's database listing.]
