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:

"As I get the history of things?my father, our father [Richard Charles] was from a well-to-do family. And my mother was a dancer, a singer and dancer on the stage. A ?Hoofer? we call ?em now days. Anyway, in those days in England, any woman connected to the stage wasn?t thought of too well. So, his family just threw him out bodily. No [Words that follow are unintelligible] and wouldn?t have anything to do with him or them. I don?t know what my Dad?s education was but, anyway, I think I mentioned before, he always loved horses. As I understand his family had horses in stables there. [Birmingham, England area it is presumed] He found a job as a coachman.

My oldest brother, Charles, his job was?early every morning?was to make sure to polish the high boots [that father wore]. High polish those boots so they were ready in the morning.

...

Leonard: Your dad?[Leonard?s eldest brother Richard Charles is Millicent?s father]?had a hard life.

Millicent [Bagley]: He did? He lived with somebody in Fredericton didn?t he? At a hospital?or something? Some lady at the hospital?

Leonard: Well, what happened there?he hurt his leg on the farm somehow or other and?the leg became ulcerated. They thought they were going to have to amputate. So they took him into the hospital. And as I say, most didn?t give a damn if we lived or died, you know. So anyway, Mrs. McCall [On Tape #1 Leo sounded like he pronounced the name McCarroll. Do not know which it may have been.] was at the hospital. She asked if she could take care of Charlie. So they took her up on it to get rid of him. They thought he was going to lose his leg anyway. So, he came to live with Mrs. McCall at the hospital. I think that is where he got his love of medical
[words that follow are intelligible].

Millicent [Bagley]: Well, you know, it?s funny. He never talked about it at the time. Dad never said a word about anything. He never talked bad. We never heard any of this ?til we were grown up and married, I guess? We knew he came over young and all tht but didn?t know the story of it. Just the date my Dad was born and things like that?his mother?s name?"
