Harbour, N.B., and lives there with her husband and three children. Harry Pye’s sold the farm to Frank MacLaren and moved to Summerside in 1950. The home was on that part of the shorefront sold by Mr]. MacLaren to T. Leland Linkletter in 1951, and the house was torn down by George Skerry in the latter 1950’s.

The following report of a United Meeting is taken from a newspaper report of, we believe, 1918.

”On Monday afternoon, Feb. 12, a number of sleighs might be seen crossing Grand River ice heading for Lot 16. If watched it would be seen that they all went to Mr. William Cotton’s of Ferry Farm. Thus a number of sleighs from all parts of Lots 16 and 14 also gathered at Mr. Cotton’s and a speculator might ask was it a fox meeting that brought all these people from their homes on such a blustery day. But it was of vastly more im- portance-a united meeting of the Lots 14and 16 Auxiliaries of the W.F. and W.M.S. The number was further augmented by the presence of the McCully Mission Band of Lot 14, which is in a very flourishing condition. The meeting opened at 2:30. The presidents occupied chairs side by side-Mrs. J.S. McKay, the wife of our pastor, in Lot 14, and Mrs. W.L. Adams, of Miscouche, in Lot 16. The first half hour was devotional, followed by the business of each Auxiliary-an address of welcome to the visitors, regrets that Tyne Valley Auxiliary was unable to be present, with the exception of their President, Miss A. Montgomery, who brought their greetings, and the presentation on behalf of the Lot‘16 Auxiliary by the secretary, Mrs. John Yeo, of a neatly framed Life Membership Certificate to Mrs. J.S. McKay. As Trinidad was the mission field to be discussed that day, there were a number of papers and readings on that subiect by Master Edgar Daugherty, of the mission band, Mi-ss Clark, Mrs. Adams, Miss Sproule and Miss McKendrick, and the Misses Belle and Freda Cotton. The music committee gave several nice selections. The meeting then adjourned’f‘or supper, which was served by Lot 16 ladies, and was‘a very pleasant social time. After tea some time was spent in social chat, piano music, and Mr. A.E. McLean again kindly entertained us with nice selections on his gramaphone. About seven o’clock the meeting was again called to order by our Pastor, who gave a talk on missionary work, and also tendered a unanimous vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Catton for their hospitality in not only throwing open the door of their house to us, but also their barn and all their outbuildings to our horses. Meeting closed with the Benediction and the visitors left-for home feeling it was indeed good to have been there.”

A note of interest from the Archives tells us that, ”in 1865 Mr. Robert MacLaurin, now a prosperous farmer of Ferry Farm, Central Lot 16, built for , Mr. R.T. Holman the brig ”Kewadin”. With this vessel Mr. Holman traded for some years between Summerside and Liverpool, England. She came to grief, however, for she was wrecked off Alberton in an August gale of

1873”. 5
