"Was a resolute, energetic workman, trader and merchant at Bear River. He was drowned in the Bay of Fundy, near St. John, Ontario, October 11, 1840. His death inspired the following poem, penned by a "C.E.W", most likely William E. Chute himself:
ON THE DEATH OF NELSON CHUTE.
1.
There was a man of good repute
Known far and wide as Nelson Chute;
His home was in Bear River town,
A place quite famous for renown.
For labor, honor, justice, truth,
He ever was a noted youth;
And as a merchant he did gain
Some wealth by trading on the main.
2.
So, on the Bay of Fundy, he
Had started for St. John, N. B.
On board the Robert laden grand
And James T. Hinxman in command.
When near St. John a strong breeze blew
That called up all the vessel's crew;
When by the gybing of main boom,
Poor Nelson found a watery tomb.
3.
His wife for him did sad lament,
Because her heart was sorely rent,
But he had gone to his reward
T'appear before his blessed Lord;
And there, where all things are arranged
(For God's decrees cannot be changed),
We hope to see him in that land
With all the blest at God's right hand.
C.E.W.
