MISC: from the book "Newfoundland Men"
The Late Hon. Stephen Rendell was born at Coffinswell, Devoneshire, England on May 24, 1819, and educated at Kingsherswell.  He came to Newfoundland when sixteen years of age and entered the employ of Job Bros. & Co. After some years he went to Hant's Harbor, Trinity Bay, where he operated an extensive concern, returning to assume the charge of that firm's general business in this colony.  For many years Mr. Rendell occupied prominent positions in the mercantile community and during his management of the business of Messrs. Job Brothers & Co. won golden opinions from all with whom he had dealings.  Mr. Rendell represented the large and important district of Trinity for a period of twelve years successively when he was appointed to the legislative council with a seat in the executive. This latter position he held for seven years.  During the period of his membership in the assembly he was foremost in advancing the interests of his district and the colony generally, but perhaps the most important act of his was one for the introduction of rabbits.  The thousands of 'poor settlers' throughout the island owe him a deep debt of gratitude for this measure as it has proven one of incalculable usefulness. As a man he was a very model, gentle and genlemanly ever ready to lend assistance and sympathy to all who needed it.  Interest in the young, he was ever in the front of all movements whether educational, social or commercial for their advancement and was universally loved and respected.  In 1881, owing to failing health, Mr. Rendell retired and took up his residence in a more congenial climate. He died at Devonshire, his home, April 4, 1893.  His wife was Miss Catherine Morris of Canada.

BIRTH: DEATH: DEATH OF A BELOVED PHYSICIAN
THE PASSING OF DR. STABB
Dr. STABB was born on July 13th, 1866, and was the only son of the late Dr. STABB, the founder, and first superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum. He sprung from a family that has long been identified with the professional, commercial, and social history of Newfoundland. The principals of the old firms of Ewen STABB, and Nicholas STABB & Sons, were his immediate relatives, whilst Henry J. STABB, Esq., of the present H. J. STABB & Co., is his cousin. Two sisters survive him, Mrs. A. S. RENDELL and Mrs. Walter B. WEST. As a pupil at Bishop Field College, and subsequently at Lennoxville, P. Q., and in his studies in the Old Country, Dr. STABB distinguished himself. When about 18 years ago, he commenced the practice of his profession in his native town, he was warmly welcomed, and soon became the physician beloved. For several years he was associated with his warm friend, Dr. RENDELL, as a visiting physician to the General Hospital. His was a disposition of exceptional sweetness. Retiring and modest, he was in the truest sense of the word, a gentleman. Till comparatively recently, he had been prominent in athletic circles, winning laurels as a cricketer and football player; whilst as coxswain of the City Boat Club, his form was familiar to the thousands, who annually throng the banks of the Quidi Vidi. His nature was of the kindliest. It may safely be said, that not one who knows him, can find an unkind word to say of him; but what is more rare may be said with equal certainty, that Dr. STABB has never been known to say an unkind word of another. He was often spoken of as a "polished" gentleman, but the term was in a sense a misnomer, for his gentle nature bore the stamp of loyalty and sincerity, and of courtesy, charity, and Christian manliness. He is gone, but "The beauty of his better self lives on." The death of Dr. STABB leaves a vacancy in the life of our city as well as in the hearts of his relatives and friends. Men such as he are a benison to the place of their residence, and a source of justifiable pride to the land of their birth. To his immediate friends, the hearts of the people will go out in sympathy, whilst all who knew the late Dr. STABB will recognize that his passing is an irreparable loss. His kindly smile and courteous greeting will be sorely missed, and many years will elapse ere his memory fades. What though he has passed to a wider sphere, into whose rest or activities an unknowing world cannot penetrate.
