| When I was eight years old, my Uncle Julius Obed went to Hebron. We were supposed to stay in Nain but I loved my uncle so much that we had to go along with him. We had our own boat. Uncle Julius was younger than my father. We went to our fishing place at Tikigatsuk, just across from Hebron. We were there two or three weeks and my uncle got sick. He just lay unconscious in the bed. My brother and them tried to take him across to Hebron by boat, but he died before they got there. They watched him as he died. Me and Adolp Obed had to stay behind to look after the fish that was drying. After Uncle Julius died, Elias Obed, the father of Zacharius Obed, and them came to take us to the funeral at Hebron. So we had to go to Hebron to bury the uncle that I loved so much. The minister at that time was Rev. Simeon. He had a long white beard. |
