WAITE FAMILY

Horatio Waite was born in Traveller’s Rest, April 19th 1863. His father was Edward Waite and his mother, Helen Milligan, daughter of Robert Milligan and Elizabeth MacDougald. They were of English and Scottish descent. Horatio, or Raish, as he was known, married Mary Harkness, daughter of John Harkness and Janet MacCaull of the same district. They had four children; namely, William Oran, Jean Armour, Bruce and George.

William, as a young man, moved to Haverhill, Mass., and married Olive Fenenko of the same place. After living a number of years in the States, he moved to New Annan, where he died in 1971. His wife, Olive, is employed by the Town of Summerside in the Town Office and still resides in New Annan.

Jean Armour married Russell Champion of Traveller's Rest and they had one son, Harold, who lives in Wilmot with his wife, Ruth Martin of Winni- peg. They have one son, Bruce. Jean and Russ are deceased.

Bruce married Helen Vosberg of the State of New York, where he lived for a number of years. In 1948 he moved to New Annan, P.E.l. where he and his brother, William built their own home. After his wife, Helen, died, he moved to Traveller’s Rest and lives next door to his brother, George.

George married Edna Urch and they live in Traveller’s Rest.

Mr. Waite was a fisherman and their home was near the shore on Richmond Bay. This house was burned and they rebuilt; then in 1952 the family suffered a further loss by another fire. George and his wife, Edna, who were living there at that time purchased a house from Stan Gunning, which was on property formerly owned by George's maternal grand-parents and had the house hauled to a lot of land on the George Taylor property, where they still reside. Many interesting stories of the old days of fishing and horse-trading were enjoyed by young and old as told by Mr. Waite. His wife, Mary, (or Aunt Mary as she was known to many), did spinning all her adult life and during the war years (World War I) she did spinning for the socks the local ladies knit to send overseas. Some of the wool blankets (yarn she spun) are still in the home of her son, George.

Bruce and George, now Senior Citizens, remember the Rev. William Townsend coming to their home to baptize the four Waite children. This was often done in the early days of the community.
