NOTE 4./ Author's insight by Bob Millie
Henry Thomas Beale Millie (HTB) and George Jacobs (As well as John David Jacobs) all went to the Riel Rebellion together, leaving out of London Ontario between April 1-7, 1885. HTB and George both later worked for the Grand Trunk railway (Now Canadian Pacific) after they returned from the West. It is undetermined whether they were employed at the same time or not, and for both men it was only a short time of employment, as HTB reinlisted and George went onto McCreary's Department store, or his Police work.
Sadly, HTB's son, Harry William Robert Millie, went to work for the Grand Trunk as a brakeman, and bled to death at age 25, after having one leg severed by a train car wheel. Daisy never remarried. HTB Millie died 3 months later of gangrene.
The uncanny parallel continues here. Captain George William Jacobs was invalided home from Britain during WW II in May 1943 on the maiden voyage of the Lady Nelson, Canada's first Hospital ship. George William Jacobs dies October 11, 1943, and his father, John David Jacobs passes on November 18, 1943. Only 37 days apart.
What else was similar ??? George Jacobs was 5' 4" tall and HTB was 5' 7" tall.

MARCONI SPEEDS MESSAGES ACROSS ATLANTIC OCEAN
From Newfoundland to Cornwall Italian Inventor Sends Message Without Wires.
St. Johns, N.F., December 14. Signor Marconi announced the most wonderful scientific discovery of modern times tonight in stating that he had received electric signals across the Atlantic ocean from his station in Cornwall, England. He explains that before leaving England he made plans for accomplishing this result, for while his primary object was to communicate with ocean liners in mid-ocean he hoped also to succeed in attaining the wonderful scientific achievement of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic.
Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall is most powerful. He has an electric force, generated there, a hundred times greater than at his ordinary stations. Before he left England he arranged that the electrician in charge of the station which is located at Poldhu, should begin sending signals daily after a certain date, which Signor Marconi would cable him after having perfected his arrangements here.
Signor Marconi arrive here a week ago Friday, selected Signal Hill, at the entrance to the harbor, as an experimenting station and moved his equipment there. Last Monday he cabled to the Poldhu station to begin sending signals at 3 p.m. daily and to continue until 6 p.m. these hours being respectively 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., St. Johns time. During these hours Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated the kite with an aerial wire by means of which signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to the receiving apparatus and to his profound satisfaction signals were received by him at intervals, according to the programme arranged previously with the operator at Poldhu.
These signals consisted of repeating at intervals the letter "s" which, in Marconi's code is made by three dots, or quick strokes. This signal was repeated so frequently and so in accordance with the plan, arranged to provide safeguards against the possibility of a mistake, that Signor Marconi was satisfied that it was a genuine transmission from England. . .
