of Moses in Charlottetown in October of 1875. By that time there was a good school at Fullertons Marsh according to the annual school report. Schools had been present in Lot 48 since 1834, so the children ofJames and Margaret Iacey robably learned to rad and write, unlike their parents. In February of 1876, e family members assembled to celebrate the wedding of their brotherjim Margaret Hogan. The bride was the daughter of Roderick Hogan and Mary oy from South Shore (Lot 65). This wedding was held at St. Dunstan’s thedral on February 15. It was a good time to have a wedding because the latives of both bride and groom could travel across the frozen rivers to get ily and relatively quickly to town (the rough equivalent of a modern paved d). In addition, farm life was at a much reduced rate.

The wedding guests would probably have returned to the home of the ogans for a long night of eating, drinking and dancing. Someone would have the foresight to run off the necessary quantity of moonshine. More than ne wife might have to scold her husband into going home in the wee hours, t when he was beginning to have fun!).

Liquor was a curse to many of the Irish on P.E.I. For that reason there was strong temperance movement among the Irish of P.E.I. at that time. It is ually possible, therefore, that the only alcohol available was to be had utside at someone’s sleigh in the yard. I SUS- ct that the Island tradition of keeping the ' s in the kitchen rather than in the front rn may have stemmed from the temperance vement.

In 1877 Jim and Margaret had their first

earlier in Charlottetown. Unfortunately e young Moses died as an infant. In April of 878 a second child, Leo Albinus, was born. er that same month,Jirn received word from ottetown of the death of his brother Peter. Aboutthistimeatwo-story housewasrnoved n the ice from Mt. Herbert to replace the old house, which would soon be converted into an outbuilding. My uncle Doyle recalls that this house was called the ‘Pippy House". This event bably occurred between 1881, when a Pippy house appears on the Lot 48 p in the 1880 Meacbams’Atlas and the completion of the Fullerton's h bridge in 1884. We can imagine the excitement of the family at the spect of moving into a new two-story house with a stone foundation under after living in a log house for so long. The previous fall, the hole would have en dug for the cellar and enough rock gathered for a foundation.

The occupants of the farm on Doyles Point at that time and their ages were follows:

James (Jim) Doyle, aged 42 (Farmer); Margaret Doyle, aged 25 (Margaret
