MISENER

John Solomon Misener was born in March, 1858 in Marie Joseph, N .S. He was a fisherman and boat builder and married Mary Jane Lang (b. 1865, Nova Scotia). In 1884 he built a boat and took his wife and two children and all their worldly possessions and sailed away from Marie Joseph to P.E.I., landing at the Brae in Prince County, where they rented until 1886 when they again set sail; this time around North Cape until they landed at Stanhope, where John decided to settle. Their first home was rented from a family by the name of Strickland and was located at the Point. In October, 1894 John bought a piece of land at Stanhope Corner from George and Isabella Shaw for the sum of $35.00 cash.

A lobster factory at Stanhope Lane was purchased and torn down, the pieces were moved by horse and cart to Stanhope Corner and re-built into a two-storey house over a cellar with a foundation of Island sandstone. The well, which had an abundance of fresh, clear water, was only 15 feet deep. As John was a fisherman and boat builder, the next building erected was a boat house where he worked. Later this was extended to house animals and supplies. A very good craftsman, John also made some furniture; one chest of drawers is still in use today.
