PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

non, natives of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The Isle of Skye was also the birthplace of the paternal and matemal grandparents, Donald McKinnon and Donald McDonald, both of whom came to Prince Edward Is- land in the same ship in about 1860, locat— ing the year following their arrival at Brooklyn, Kings county, where they both followed farming. Mr. McDonald (lied at the age of eighty-eight years and his wife at one hundred and two years. Lauchlin Mc- Kinnon located in a forest and himself cleared the land on which he afterward re- sided, rebuilding his first house, and was justly numbered among those who opened and developed that section of the Island. He died in 1882, at the age of sixty-one years.

Donald McKinnon, the immediate sub- ject of this sketch, received his elementary education in the public schools, and then for a year he attended the Uigg School, one of the leading schools of that section. He next attended Prince of Wales College three terms, after which he taught school in Brooklyn for three years. Moving to Mon- tague, he taught school there three years, spending the following winter at home. He then began to read law in the office of M. and D. C. McLeod, and after the death of Malcolm McLeod he continued his studies with the new firm of McLeod & Bentley. In 1902 he was admitted to the bar as an at- torney and in '1903 as a barrister. He first entered upon the active practice of his pro- fession alone, but two months later he be- came junior partner in the firm of McLean & McKinnon, A. A. McLean, being the senior member of the firm. The combina- tion is one of strength and good repute, the members of the firm standing high in the esteem of their acquaintances. Mr. McKin- non’s fraternal relations are with the Inde- pendent Order of Foresters.

DANIEL MCPHEE is a native of the locality in which he now resides, having been born at Nine Mile Creek on March 14, 1866. His paternal grandfather, Hugh Mc- Phee, was a native of the Isle of Mull, Scot- land, and came to Prince Edward Island in

an early day, locating at Canoe Cove where

throughout his life he followed farming. He was a Liberal in politics and in religion a Baptist. To his marriage with Miss Flora McPhail were born seven children: Neil, Donald, Paul, Archibald, Ellen, Flora and Kittie. Neil McPhee, subject's father, who was born at Canoe Cove in January, 183 5, received his education in the district schools there and also followed farming throughout his active years. In politics he was a Liberal and in religion a Presbyterian. He married . Miss Anna Currie, and the union was blessed with issue as follows: Hugh, of New Dominion; Flora Ellen, who became the wife of James H. Robins; Jes- sie, deceased, who was the wife of Daniel McDougall; Daniel, subject of this sketch; Margaret, the wife of Malcolm McNeill; Neil, now in the state of Washington; Horatio, in Alberta, and Lizzie J., at home.

Daniel McPhee attended the district schools of his neighborhood and was reared to the life of a farmer, a vocation which he has subsequently followed on the old home- stead where he now resides. He is the own- er of sixty-five acres of superior land which was largely improved by his father and on which he has raised abundant crops of all the products common to this locality. The farm buildings are substantial and well ar- ranged and the general condition of the premises indicates the owner to be a man of sound judgment and good taste. On May 26, 1898, Mr. McPhee was united in mar- riage with Miss Celestine Gorveatt, a daugh- ter of George Gorveatt, of Lot 65, and to
