A HISTORY OF CANOE COVE

MacEacherns who lived near the Corner also had a store for a short time. Farquhar MacRae had a store at his residence across the road from his father, Finlay. It, too, was just operating for a short time when Farquhar left the district to get more involved with the marketing of lobsters.

Archibald MacKinnon and his wife Rita had a store and produce business on Big Donald's corner across from the church road, after the Second War from about

1946 to about 1955. He also built a plant for waxing turnips. When Archie and his family moved to USA. the house was bought by John Gass who moved it to New Haven. This site has been unoccupied since then.
