9) Priester Andrew Duffus Mowatt, 23. September 1854 - 8. April 1934.
Gründer der Jamaica Burial Scheme Society, welche als erste in Jamaika gegründete wohltätige Gemeinschaft gilt.
War mindestens für unser Team nicht einfach, mehr über diesen Gentleman und sein Werk zu erfahren. Im Wesentlichen gehts bei seinem Anliegen darum, auch ärmeren Leuten eine würdige Bestattung zu ermöglichen, sie bei Spitalaufenthalten infolge Krankheit zu begleiten und auch anderweitig in dringenden Fällen Hilfe anzubieten:
"Many of our younger people have been enquiring about the Jamaica Burial Scheme Society (JBSS), and seeking to know what purpose it served in Jamaica of yesteryear.
Well towards the end of the last century, and in the early part of the present century, the JBSS was a very important organization to our poorer brothers and sisters in the island, as it helped them through co-operative and fund raising efforts to pool small sums of money with which to bury their loved ones, assist them through periods of hospitalization due to illness, and also help them in many other urgent matters.
Before the days of funeral parlors and their refrigerated units, the burial of the dead was a traumatic home based activity, and burial was done within a period of three days, before decomposition set in or before the body “raised”. Poor people who were unable to find the money for burial, generally went from home to home, with a white saucer in which some salt was placed, soliciting assistance for the funeral expenses. It was such an event, when a dead man was not buried after four days, which prompted Andrew Duffus Mowatt, a compassionate man, to take action which led to the eventual establishment of the Jamaica Burial Scheme Society, at Banbury, Linstead, on the 18th February 1901. It was the first benevolent society founded in Jamaica, and long preceded the Credit Unions, NIS, NHT and such other organizations.
At one time, there were 160 branches of the society island wide, and also in Costa Rica, Panama and Cuba, where many Jamaicans lived.
‘Father’ Mowatt was born at Dehaney Pen, St. Thomas on the 23rd September 1854. He was a cooper by trade, and worked at the Belvedere Estate, St. Thomas, the Bybrook Estate in Bog Walk, and the West Indies Chemical Works in Spanish Town.
He was a Methodist Class Leader and Circuit Steward in Spanish Town where he lived, and died on the 8th April 1934, at the age of 80.
A memorial Plaque in ‘Father’ Mowatt’s honor is in the Spanish Town Methodist Church, and a bronze bust of him was erected in 1988, at the intersection of Cumberland Road and Brunswick Street in Spanish Town.
The JBSS headquarters, situated in Spanish Town, was destroyed by fire a few years ago, and has not been yet renuilt.
Today, let us remember and salute Andrew Duffus Mowatt, one of our country’s unsung heroes!"
