Gighr RETURN TO DOYLES POINT In the year 1884, the Fullertons Marsh bridge was completed by Pierce Doyle 's crew. Living on the Point at that time were Jim, his wife Margaret (Hogan), and their three children Leo Albinus , Margaret Gertrude , John James , and infant Augusta May born that March. Jim's mother and his three siblings John, Annie and Mary, moved to Charlottctown and took up residence at . It must have been satisfying to Jim to have his own place, with a modern house, and easy access to Charlottetown by the Fullertons Marsh bridge. Margaret Doyle had a teaching licence and probably taught the children to read. This would have been a real change as the previous generation lacked that ability. Margaret also did a great deal of work on the farm. She told of giving birth to a child one morning and helping with the farm work that same evening. Some who knew her say she was a rather stern woman—and tough! The next year, 1885, an epidemic of smallpox struck the Charlottctown area, infecting 119 and killing fifty-three. During the months of November and December, twenty-nine Catholics were buried in the cemetery at Charlottctown with *sp* marked behind their name in the register. The year 1887 was one of financial dealings to obtain final legal ownership to the property. On March 15, Jim and Margaret mortgaged their farm for $ 1200 to Edward Mullen . On April 2, Jim received a "Release of Annuity on the farm" from his mother. This meant that he no longer had to pay her $80/ycar and a further $30 at time of her death to cover funeral expenses. On April 26, Jim obtained a release and assignment of 100 acres from the executors of the estate of Robert Mutch , who had originally leased the Doyle's Point property to John Doyle in 1831. The cost of this release was $551.56, (with fees $605.56). June 21 st of that year James received a deed for the property from the Dominion of Canada , Province of P.E.I. The cost of this deed was $261.36. The farm was then in Jim's name. This was also the year that Charlottctown City Council resolved that City houses should be numbered "that the addresses of our citizens may be more easily found and also that postal delivery may be secured."
