Notes:

Emigrated to Australia. Best fit for that is a first class passenger entry for a Mr J.Silver who arrived aboard the Orsova in Perth, Western Australia in May 1920 and whose destination was Toowoomba, Queensland. His brother James was at the time living near Toowoomba. The Orsova berthed in Brisbane, Queensland on 21 May 1920. See: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article20409199.
Also see http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article179037440 for confirmation that a Mr J.Silver arrived in Brisbane.
We also find the brothers John and James Silver together at a masonic lodge meeting at Millmerran in December 1920. See http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article198546618
There's little doubt that John Silver did join his brother James in Queensland but no record is found of his death in Australia, but other information suggests he may have gone to New Zealand.


Further information also comes from correspondence from James Murray Silver, who refers to a letter that mentions the Harvieston Silvers: There is an interesting referance in a letter written by Geo. Robertson (b. 1894, a grandson of my aunt Isabella Robertson nee Silver), to our common cousin, James Silver (b. 1890) of Atlanta, as follows:
"There were other Silver cousins. They were Alex, John, and James and Isabel. These were successful farmers of Haverston (Harvieston) just south of Stonehaven. When Alex died, John came to visit my mother on departure to Australia, probably with his nephew Alex. (nothing more ever heard of them). James was a joiner and went to Australia as also did the third son, James, of Alex (above) who, just about 1919 followed his uncle Jim out to Australia. I hope this is clear. Isa Silver above, you see, had the same name exactly as my mother. She remained single a long time but lately married an old forrester named Duncan of Banchory.
Now Alex and John after doing well dropped back by, having too successful a time, did, I think, become too fond of a dram. I remember at our grandpa's funeral they arrived at Sunnyside in a coach and horses. And believe me, few farmers at that time (about 1902) posessed such luxuries. I then was 7 or 8 yrs. and had walked 5 miles to Sunnyside. And then walked to the church yard (two miles)-- got so tired walking behind the cortage that I sat down at the side of the road in a ditch -- in fact, went on strike. The Silver coach or carriage drew up beside me and took me aboard. This was my first experience of traveling in state!
Some of the Silvers 'were nae sma drink' you can see."
NOTE: The drink reference is rather telling given that Alexander Silver's cause of death was acute alcoholism.

Died:
Even though he was supposed to have left Scotland and headed to Australia, no death record is yet found for him there. However, there is a 1920 arrival in Perth, Western Australia for a Mr J. Silver whose destination is Toowoomba, Queensland. His brother James was living near Toowoomba at the time. He is found in at least one newspaper report of being in Millmerran with his brother. Descendants of James believe John may have gone to New Zealand. There is a New Zealand death in 1930 for a John Silver aged 75 which potentially fits. However, his parents are not named on the death certificate and his birthplace is given as Glasgow.
However, there are no other death records anywhere else in the world that potentially fit this John Silver.
So, the following burial place may be his in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Notes:

Four months before his death, an illegitimate child named Jessie Silver Fenton was born at Harvieston, the daughter of Jessie Fenton, housekeeper, whose address was given as Blackburn Mearns, Tannadice, Dundee. The child's father is not given on the birth certificate.
The first conclusion to be drawn is that Alex was the child's father based on a DNA connection between her descendants and Silver descendants. It is known that in 1901 Jessie Fenton was housekeeper at Cheyne Farm near Stonehaven which is just a few miles from Harvieston Farm.

Notes:

Seems to have returned to England for mother's funeral as he and sister Gertrude are passengers on the Lusitania 20 Mar 1915 ex-Liverpool. The Lusitania was sunk in May.
Herbert may have also returned to England from USA again as, according to 1930 US census entry, his son Robert was born in England C1919, unless that is an error on census.

Also, in 1966, he is mentioned in his sister Gertrude's obituary of being of Burnt Hills, Saratoga.

From http://www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/mem_single.php?memid=64
Name Silver, Alexander Rank Private Regiment 4th Battalion Gordon Highlanders Biography Son of Alexander Silver; born Harvieston Farm, Kinneff, 14 September 1894 ; educated Gordon's College ; entered Aberdeen University to study Agriculture in 1912. At the outbreak of war he went with "U" Company to Bedford where he became a great favourite not only with his fellow-students but throughout the Battalion. Cooking for a company was no "catch" in those days, but "Sandy" cheerfully accepted the job with all the drudgery it entailed. In this capacity he left with the Battalion for France in February 1915. It did not take long under active service conditions to show that there was the real fighting stuff in Silver. After repeated attempts he got relieved of the job which afforded him comparative safety. Alongside his old fellow-students in the trenches, he was supremely happy. Hardships seemed less real when Silver shared them. He took part with the company in the attack from Sanctuary Wood (Hooge) on 25 September 1915 and was subsequently posted as missing. Honours Date of Death 25 September 1915 Burial details Name recorded on the Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres, Panel 38, Column 9.

Notes:

Beth (Eaton) Hill, 93, of Concord, MA died March 1, 2013 in Concord.
Born in 1920 in Niskayuna, New York she was the daughter of John D. and Isabella (Duncan) Eaton.
Her father, not a believer in higher education for women, offered her a chance to travel around the world rather than go to college.
Beth chose, instead, to attend Stoneleigh Junior College.
From there she went to Beaver College (now Arcadia University) and then to Simmons School of Social Work.
She worked for a number of years as a social worker at the Boston Eye and Ear Infirmary.
At the wedding of James and Trynie Hawks (also of Concord), she met her future husband, George A. Hill, Jr.
They married in 1950 and settled in Harvard, MA where they raised their two daughters, Nancy and Betsy.
Soon after the death of her husband in 1984, Beth moved from Chatham to Concord and continued to divide her time between Massachusetts and her summer residence on Bailey Island in Maine.
The island was her true home and she devoted many years to writing a history of it. Her book, The Evolution of Baileys Island, was published in 1992.
An accomplished watercolorist, she also wrote and illustrated many wonderful childrens books which, while unpublished, were enjoyed by her grandchildren.
Later in life she took her fathers advice and traveled the world visiting many islands in the Caribbean, Egypt, Italy, Portugal, England, Scandinavia, China and Mexico.
Beth's life touched many people and she will be missed.
She is survived by her family: her daughter, Nancy Hill Butman, and her husband, John; her daughter Betsy Hill Williams, and her husband, Glenn; and her four grandchildren: Jeremy and Henry Butman and Dan and Emily Williams. Memorials: Contributions in her memory may be made to Harpswell Heritage Land Trust, PO Box 359, Harpswell, ME 04079.
Service: A memorial service will be held on March 23rd at 11AM at the Duval Chapel of the New England Deaconess Association, 80 Deaconess Road, Concord.
A summer memorial on Bailey Island is also being planned. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust, PO Box 359, Harpswell, ME 04079.

WEDDING BELLS BAUER-DOBBS
A pretty wedding was solemnised at Braemar, Boolburra, the home of the bride's parents, when Mavis Joyce, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs J. A. Dobbs, was married to Edward Hans Alexander (late AIF), eldest son of Mr and Mrs A. E. Bauer, Kingaroy. The Rev. Stewart Lang officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a becoming gown of ivory satin, featuring a deep V neckline with touches of shirring at the shoulders, and softly folded at the waistline into a richly embroidered pointed cum- merbund. Fine buttons and loops trimmed the backline from the neck to the waist, and the same trimming was repeated at her wrists, where the long full sleeves were fitted into a band. The plain skirt fell into a long pointed train, which was beautifully embroidered at the point. Her two-tiered veil (lent by Mrs G. Smith) was of embroidered Brussels net, pleated into a halo of orange blossoms and was worn well back on her head. She wore a string of pearls and carried a bouquet of white roses.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss June Dobbs, who chose a full-length frock of sweetheart blue taffeta, featuring a fitted bodice with a draped centre panel, tiny puff sleeves and a double ruffle round the off-shoulder bodice. The full skirt was gathered at the waist into a scalloped bodice and was finished with a double ruffle at the hem, which was stiffened to give a crinoline effect. Her headdress of white Brussels net fell to her shoulders, from a halo of stiffened tulle, and was finished with a trail of pink and blue flowers. She added long white mittens and carried a bouquet of pink roses and blue sweetpeas.
Mr Roy Bauer, brother of the bridegroom, was best man.
The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a necklet and matching ear-rings of paua shell, and to the bridesmaid he gave a gold compact. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a travelling set.
The reception was held in the adjoining hall, which was prettily decorated with trails of pink and purple bougainvillea. Bowls of sweetpeas and ferns adorned the tables, and pride pf place was given to a two-tiered cake with appropriate decorations. The Rev. Stewart Lang presided and the usual toasts were honoured.
The bride's mother wore a floral silk crepe frock with black accessories and the bridegroom's mother chose a black frock relieved with white, to which she added a fur coat and black accessories. When leaving by car en route for Brisbane, where the honeymoon is being spent, the bride wore a sage green check silk frock and navy accessories.
