CATHERINE. better known as Aunt Kitty, was born in the log house 1n 1826 (the year after the great Miramichi fire). She was baptized

by Rev. Bernard D. MacDonald who became a priest in 1822 and Bishop of Charlottetown in 1837.

At that time only a few mission centres existed such as Rustico and Miscouche. Clergymen travelled on foot or horseback to minister to the spiritual needs of colonists.

The life of Aunt Kitty, as she was known, was a grand example of the truly simple life with all suspicions of selfishness submerged. Her zeal for the welfare and happiness of those about her was outstand- ing. She ministered to the sick and injured in a very skilful way.

Catherine was seven years old when the first steamship (The Royal William) made the first ocean crossing. She lived under the rule of five British Sovereigns and eight Pontiffs.

She passed away at the home of her nephew, Mr. Peter McIntyre, in 1932 at the good old age of 106 years and seven months; the oldest resident of Prince Edward Island.

Christina lived at home for sometime and later went to live with her nephew, Joseph McIntyre, on the lower road; she never married. She was the type of lady who could put her hand to most any kind of work inside or outside.

She was always ready to lend a helping hand in sickness or where- ever she was needed. She operated the carding machine at Wright’s Mills for many years and lived to be a good old age.

Alexander married Mary MacDonald of Springfield. He farmed at home and was coachman for Arthur McGill who collected the quit rent payments.
