I believe your John Cadman may be the brother to the James Cadman whose life I am
researching for my book on the engineers who built Canada's Intercolonial Railway. I
have the following on James, and I hope it will help you.
JAMES CADMAN - (184X-1897) An assistant engineer on the construction staff in 1872, he
served on staff until 1874.
Carleton Sentinel Newspaper April 3, 1897
Jas. Cadman Dead
A long time well known gentleman will no more be seen upon our streets. James Cadman, C.
E., died at his residence Upper Woodstock on Monday, of paralysis, with which he was
stricken a week previous, aged 5?. Deceased came from England in 1862 to become mining
engineer of the New Brunswick Charcoal and Pig Iron Co. After these works closed he was
resident engineer for the European and North American railway and in 1868 became assistant
engineer of the Intercolonial railway, which position he occupied until 1875 when he was
engaged on the survey of the Newfoundland railway; afterwards he was locating engineer on
the North Shore railway and later chief engineer of the Quebec and St. John railway. Some
years ago he retired from active work and has since lived at Upper Woodstock. His wife
died some 28 years ago; he leaves two sons, Frederick W. and Norris B. and a daughter, who
is wife T. C. L. Ketchum.
Any information you might have on James would be greatly appreciated and acknowleged in my
book, which is due for publication in 2008.
