The following scrapbook was bought at a recent auction sale in Belfast by Don Snow, who graciously donated it to the Register, so that the records would be available to not only us here on P.E.I., but to everyone who might have an interest to the individuals named in the book�. Thank you Don!
Most of the clippings in the book do not have the name of the paper, or the date of publication. A large number were from the Guardian, as references within the text of the articles confirm. The clippings in the book seem to be in no particular date order, perhaps indicating that the clippings were pasted in the book at a later time. These clippings make up a charming history of the area - not only vital statistics, but also "community notes" giving insight into life in the Belfast region at the turn of the century. An interesting side note: The clippings were pasted into a very old copy of Puss 'n Boots, a children's book. Every page is filled. "Waste not, want not," perhaps evidence of the Scottish frugality of the residents of the district which helped them to thrive in this Island community.
This is a good example of an obscure little document that one might be tempted to throw away, thinking it would be of no use to anyone, which can truly be a gem in the rough. To anyone who's ancestors are named in this document, it will be a wonderful find. It will be interesting also to anyone striving to understand what early life on P.E.I. was like - even at the turn of the century, life was hard, but the spirit and faith of the people can truly be an inspiration for all of us.
Hint: Many of these clippings contain only a month, date, and no year. Many also include the day of the week. If you have the month, date, and day of week, you can calculate the year using our perpetual calendar. We know the majority of these clippings were from the years of 1901 to 1912. By using the calendar, and checking out the target month and date in each year, looking for a day match, you will be able to determine the year of the clipping.

A Few of the Ships that Never Returned
The following interesting item is written by a seaman of the old school from personal recollections and records.
In the summer of 1867 the full rigged ship Isabel, owned by James Duncan & Co., commanded by Capt. Alexander McDonald, familiarly known as Sandy Hector of Point Prim, with Capt. Roderick Cameron as mate. [This is the end of the sentence - it is not mis-transcribed] Cameron left her in Charlottetown. Donald McAuley, also of Point Prim then went as mate and Simon M. Murchison, A. B. also sailed with her. She came out from Glasgow and loaded oats here for New York and arrived there in due time and discharged and reloaded wheat for England. She sailed in good time and that was the last that was ever heard of her. One of Capt. McDonald's daughters with her husband, Mr. Donald McDonald is stopping this winter with their son, Major Dan McDonald, owner and proprietor of the Russ Hotel [once again, this is as written - from now on in similar cases, I will use only the familiar [sic] following misspellings and other uncompleted sentences].
Capt. Sandy Hector has another grandson living here namely Mr. A. W. Hyndman, manager of the Royal Bank in Charlottetown.
In the next fall 1868 the Brig Hellen Davies, commanded by Capt. Jim Murchison sailed from here, bound for the Barbadoes. Capt. Murchison was also a native of Point Prim. The Hellen Davies was loaded with a general cargo and a deck load of horses. She sailed from Charlottetown, and that was the last ever heard of her.
The Brig Comet sailed from Charlottetown the same fall, 1868, bound for Bermuda. Capt. Smith was in command and that was the last that was ever heard of the Comet.
Ten Years later, the new Barquentine Vigilent, 475 tons, owned by Welch and Owens, sailed from Baltimore in Sept. 1878 loaded with wheat. She was commanded by Capt. Malcolm McLean of Surrey Belfast and there were with him, Peter Green, second mate, and Martin O'Neil, A.B. and a coloured cook all belonging to this Island. The Vigilant was bound for Oporto, in Portugal, but was never heard of again.
These are some of the ships that never returned.

Social Gathering
The home of Mr. And Mrs. McIsaac of Eldon was nicely decorated on Jany 2nd in honour of Mrs. McIsaac's neighbours and friends who were invited in for a goose supper.
The guests had a real good time.
Mr. John S. Martin carved in the fashion of long ago, the table bountifully spread with every good thing the season offered. The gentlemen kept the fun going all through the supper, ably helped by the ladies, one of whom gave an address on Church affairs that made a good laugh. The guests were prettily dressed with short sleeves, low necks, bobbed hair, etc., and after a hearty vote of thanks to the Hostess for her well served meal, they left at a late hour for home with Jack Frost blowing cold wintery blasts.

A clipping from an Olympia paper announces the sad death of Malcolm J. Weatherbie, which took place in St. Peter's hospital on June 27, after lying in an unconscious condition since his accident on Friday, June 24. Mr. Weatherbie, a well know pioneer wood dealer and businessman of that city, driving along a country road accompanied by his little son Fay, when the horse he was driving became frightened by a dog and jumping to one side, threw the occupants from the sulky. Fay fell clear of the rig in which they were riding, but Mr. Weatherbie was caught by his feet and dragged for a quarter of a mile. When the horse was stopped Mr. Weatherbie was picked up with his scalp and one ear torn loose from his head and the flesh on his shoulders ground down to the bone. He was at once harried to the hospital where Drs. Riley and Ingham worked on the unconscious man for several hours but all to no avail. On Monday evening death ended his sufferings. Mr. Weatherbie left his native home twenty-two years ago, having ever since made his home in Olympia. He married Miss Mary Dockerty, a native of Vernon River, P.E.I. He was for a number of years a member of the volunteer fire department and for more that fourteen years attended every fire in Olympia. On arriving in Olympia, while still a young man, Mr. Weatherbie was practically penniless, but at the time of his death was a well to do businessman, owning considerable property in the City and a well cultivated farm of one hundred and sixty acres south of the city. He was a member of the Foresters of America and the Fraternal Brotherhood.
His funeral took place Wednesday June 29th and was largely attended, Rev. David McDonald officiating at the house and grave. Deceased was in his 47th year and is survived by his wife and six children, four boys, William, George, Fay and Cecil, and two girls, Pansy and Ida, also three brothers, William of Olympia and George of Vancouver, who were telephoned for at the time of their brother's accident and remained by his side till the last, and John T. of Ocean View, P.E.I., three sisters, Mrs. John Dockerty, New Haven, P.E.I., Mrs. Ronald McLellan, Glace Bay, C.B., and Mrs. Murdock Buchannan of Boston, Mass, besides a large host of friends and relatives who will be greatly shocked to hear of his sudden and untimely death.

Capt. M. McLeod, Vancouver, accompanied by his two daughters, is staying at the Victoria. Capt. McLeod arrived in this city some days ago, and will spend some to months in this Province, of which he is a native. He formerly belonged to Belfast and it is twenty-one years since he visited his homeland. He left the Province after the Prince Edward Island Bank became insolvent, by which he as one of the principal investors, was a heavy loser.
He went out to Vancouver at that time, accompanied by his wife and one daughter, who is now with him on his visit here, and had remained in Vancouver since. Until recently, Capt. McLeod has been harbour master and port warden of Vancouver harbour, a position he has filled for the past number of years. He is among the number of energetic Provincialists who, in far off fields, have had had successful careers as officials in important departments and can be termed, "a successful Islander abroad". Although his years are not few his bearing gives no indication of their being a burden to carry, for he is as vigorous and keen as many who have not passed the forty year mark. Speaking of Vancouver, Capt. McLeod says it is advancing in leaps and bounds and in referring to the changes in this city in the twenty one years of his absence he seemed to think the greatest change was apparent in the people, nearly all those who were leaders in the social, political, and commercial life before Mr. McLeod left the Province having passed away.
He has a number of relatives in this city and in different parts of King's and Queen's Counties. His wife, at present in Vancouver, is a sister of A. G. Cogswell, of Georgetown. He, and the two Misses McLeod will spend a couple of months before returning home.

Letter of Thanks! I. O. Foresters!
Eldon, September 20th, 1910.
Dear Mr. McPhee: - It is almost impossible for me to express my gratitude to you for your kindness in working for this grant for my children. It means a great deal to me, - more than you ever will know. I have always had cause to bless the Foresters' Order. The insurance has enabled me to keep my children with me, and the promptness with which it was forwarded to me helped me over some very difficult places at the time of my husband's sudden death.
This grant has come as a very welcome surprise. Please accept our hearth-felt thanks, Mr. McPhee, and may God bless the Independent Order of Foresters.
I am most sincerely yours,
Bertha West.
To Mr. George W. McPhee, Charlottetown:
This letter was received by Mr. McPhee from Mrs. West in receipt of a grant from the Orphan's Home Department of the I. O. F. for her children. Six years ago, she received $1000.00 mortuary benefit on her husband's life. The above shows that the I. O. F. does not forget the orphans even after the full insurance has been paid and those are only two of the benefits that the Order provides - all for the one rate.

Sad Fatality
A sad fatality occurred at Iona a couple of days ago by which the two year old child of Benjamin Welsh, section foreman, was burned to death. Mr. Welsh was away from home attending to his work at the time, and Mrs. Welsh had gone to attend to the cattle, leaving the two children sitting by the wood stove. Spark from a burning ember, it seems, flew out from the stove and set fire to the little one's dress and in a few minutes, she was engulfed in flames. John McCabe and Owen Hughes who happened to be passing the house saw the flames and heard the child's cries. They quickly ran in and quenched the flames which engulfed the little one. The rescue, however, did not come in time to save the child's life, for she lingered in great agony till the evening, when despite all that could be done, her spirit passed away. Mr. And Mrs. Welsh have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.

A Provincialist's Generosity
When the little ones of some 25 north end families crept out of bed early this morning, and ran to take a peep into their stockings, they found them well filled. Their kind Santa Clause was a woman, and the gifts that filled their stockings and the Christmas dinners which these families will enjoy were sent by Mrs. M. A. Tennyson of 106 Huntington Ave.
She provided Christmas cheer for others, too, and this afternoon from 1 until later in the day passers by along Commercial St. are likely to see a steady stream on longshoremen heading for No. 276, where a feast will be enjoyed.
Mrs. Tennyson, was once a resident of the North End and is well known for her many charities. She spends a great deal of her time looking up the needy. For years now, she has given a Christmas feast to the men of the waterfront and it has become a sort of an institution. Longshoremen drifting to other ports have told of the good things that await every waterfront man at 276 Commercial St., Boston, on Christmas day and there are always many to enjoy it.
This year, Mrs. Tennyson conceived the idea of making a number of the poorer families of the district partakers of her distribution of holiday joy. With big baskets of eatables, toys, and envelopes containing money, she personally made visits to homes throughout the district.
Her efforts were not directed solely to the North End. She has sought to aid any unfortunates that she heard of. She helped, too, several churches and organizations of the District. - Boston Globe, Dec. 25th
(Mrs. Tennyson is a native of Newton, Belfast, and was Miss Annie Griffin, before her marriage, being the daughter of Dennis Griffin, and a sister of Capt. Philip Griffin of Charlottetown. Mrs. Tennyson is a very wealthy widow and every Christmas for some years past, she has given a dinner to the poor of the North End. She has also sent diner to prisoners in Charlestown jail [?]. Mrs. Tennyson visited Charlottetown last summer, and will return next year also. She is a lady of great business ability and by her own efforts has accumulated considerable property in Boston. For a number of years, she has been conducting lodging houses in the Hub. About six years ago, she retired with a large fortune, and now has a big income arising from real estate and other investments. She left the Island thirty years ago a poor girl and has been residing in Boston ever since.)

Mrs. Sage and Miss Helen Gould Greet Rev. M. J. McLeod
New York, March 4 - Affirming that he had no new message but only the old story of the gospel to tell, the Rev. Malcolm James McLeod Sunday evening preached his first sermon in the Collegiate Reformed Church of St. Nicholas, Fifth Avenue and Forty Eight street. About one thousand persons were present, and among the attentive listeners were the Mrs. Russel Sage, Miss Helen Miller, and the latter's companion, Mrs. Shaw, all of whom were parisioners there.
Mrs. Sage had not been in church for more than a year. She gave word that she would attend to welcome the new pastor, and she wished to have her pew reserved. She then requested that if Miss Gould arrived first she was to be seated in the Sage pew. Miss Gould did come, and she sat beside Mrs. Sage, who was long her Sunday School teacher.
"It is a great privilege to stand in a historic pulpit," said the Rev. McLeod in his sermon, "and I am deeply solicitous for its prestige. I can do nothing without your faith and prayers. If we preach the riches of culture, we are competing with the college, and the college has the advantage. If we preach the riches of literature we are coping with the magazines, and the magazines can beat us. Bit if we preach the riches of Jesus we have no rivalry. It is a great, holy, blessed wonderful monopoly. The preacher's message covers the whole stretch of human life."
The Rev. Mr. McLeod who succeeds the late Rev. Donald Sage Mackay after a lapse of almost two years, arrived Saturday evening with Mrs. McLeod, from Pasedena, Cal., where he was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. They were stopping temporarily at the Belmont. The new minister will be installed next Sunday afternoon. (The above is from the New York Herald of May 2nd last and the article was supplemented by an excellent photo of the talented preacher, who is a native of this province and a brother of Mrs. (Dr.) H. D. Johnston, City.

Among those who did an active part in welcoming our Late King, when he, as Prince of Wales, visited out city, half a century ago, was James St. C. Moore, now of Eldon, then one of the Charlottetown boys. He, being one of the military boys, firing the Royal Salute, which heralded the arrival of His Royal Highness to this Island Capitol, a memorable event - Mr. Moore was also one of the Guards of Honour, during the reception at Government House. Theophaleus Moore, of the In??? Revenue Dept. in this city is another who cherished the memory of that event. And probably a few more of the citizens there are, living today, who recall services rendered fifty years ago, to one of the youngest and best sovereigns who ruled over the vast empire.

The Late Mrs. Percy Mutch
It is with profound regret that we have to chronicle the death of Mrs. Percy Mutch, which occurred at her home in Lot 48 on Saturday 29th ult. [Jan. 29, 1910] Mrs. Mutch was born at N. Rustico, where her father, William Toombs still lives, 36 years ago. In 1899 she married Percy Mutch, and settled in the old homestead in Lot 48. About four years ago, she became ill and underwent a serious operation in the Charlottetown Hospital, a second operation becoming necessary not long afterward. For a time she seemed to rally and her friends entertained hopes of her eventual recovery. Indeed, both she and they clung to such hopes almost to the end, and it was only comparatively recently that they understood that she could not possibly get well. During her long and painful illness she bore her sufferings bravely and patiently, taking an interest in things - her home, her friends, her church, until within a few days of her death. Although the end was not unanticipated, the news of her death came as a great shock., not only to those who were dearest to her, but to a very wide circle of friends.
The funeral took place on Monday, Jan. 29th. The service was conducted in the house by her pastor, Rev. E. E. Styles, assisted by Rev. D. McLean, a long time neighbour, and an intimate friend of the family.
Mr. Styles said he knew of no more appropriate passage from which to speak than St. Paul's words, " For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." He had frequently visited her during the past few months, and if his visits had helped her they had been equally helpful to himself.
Mr. McLean spoke of his long and intimate acquaintance with the deceased, and when he visited her during her illness, the testimony was always one of resignation to the Divine Will and confidence in the Divine Love. He spoke feelingly to the children, encouraging them in the thought that their mother was now better off in that land where "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any pain."
A few days before her death, Mrs. Mutch had selected the hymns for the service - "Safe in the arms of Jesus", "Rock of Ages", "Abide with me", and, "I heard the voice of Jesus say." The last she had requested her pastor to sing as a solo. She has also asked if six of her brothers would act as pall-bearers. They were, Rev. Herbert Toombs, Georgetown; George H., Charlottetown; William, New London; and Wallace, Hammond, and Lorenzo, living at Rustico. The remaining brother, Dr. Toombs of Mt. Stewart, had to leave before the service closed to attend a serious case. Besides these seven brothers, she leaves two sisters, Mrs. George McKenzie, Mt. Herbert, and Mrs. Lemuel Arthur, San Francisco. She also leaves three children, the oldest, Wendell, being 9 years, and Mildred and Elsie. She was interred in the Methodist burying ground in Mt. Herbert.
Mrs. Mutch will be greatly missed. Only those who were most closely acquainted with her knew the far-reaching influence issuing from her sick-room. In our expressing our deep sympathy, the Guardian is but voicing the universal feeling of the community.

Public Monuments on Prince Edward Island
In this province, where so many live to a good old age, a half a century will not seem a long way back.
In July the 20th, 1858, a little over fifty years ago, the James Gibbs, one of the last emigrant ships from Uigg, Scotland, arrived in Charlottetown. About 400 passengers were on board, tax of two dollars each had to be paid for each person before landing. We are told these brave settlers had to tend with landlords for several years, but pluck and perseverance overcame many obstacles in a new country.
There are only two couples living today who were married in Scotland. They came over on that eventful voyage of the James Gibbs. Angus McDonald and wife, live in Brooklyn, P.E.I.. Mr. McDonald's mother, who came over on the same ship only died five years ago at the great age of 103 years.
Alexander and Mrs. McLure who live at Breadalbane, P.E.I., are still hale and hearty and look as though they might live for many years to come. The descendants of the 400 who came over on the James Gibbs, are many, composed of comfortable farmers, business, and professional men.
We now go back to over a hundred years ago to August, 1803, when one of Lord Selkirk's ships the Polly arrived near Orwell, with a large number of Highlanders and Lowlanders, with their families, coming from different parts of Scotland.
The ships Dyke and Otter [Dykes & Oughton] followed shortly after, and the majority of the passengers settled near Belfast, Orwell, and Flat River. In case these lines may be read by those who may not have seen this section of Prince Edward Island would say, each place has a peculiar charm of its own, the inhabitants are prosperous and happy. Nature, however, has been particularly kind to Belfast and Eldon (that is to say, in the writer's opinion) and the sea scapes, landscapes, and forest scenes are things of beauty and we trust, a joy forever. We herewith give you a view of the Historical Presbyterian Church at Belfast, which, by the way, we touched upon in an article some time ago.
Outside the church ground, and surrounded in part by a beautiful natural grove of trees, stands a granite monument to the memory of the brave men, women, and children, who came to Prince Edward Island in 1903.
The monument was erected by public subscription amounting to $475.00. Four hundred and seventy five dollars.
The inscription reads as follows:
"In memory of the Scottish Emigrants who came to this Island by Lord Selkirk's ships, the Polly, the Dyke, and Oughton, and made homes for themselves and their children in the woods of Belfast."
The Hundredth anniversary in 1903, of the arrival of these brave people, was celebrated by a very large number of the descendants, by the unveiling of the above monument. The next article will illustrate, and touch upon the monument erected to Francis Bain, Geologist, Queen Square, Charlottetown.

Munificent Gift To Orwell Church
Tuesday, the thirty-first day of August was a memorable day in the history of the Valleyfield Congregation. Precisely at ten o'clock, Dr. Macphail of Orwell, professor in McGill College, arrived at the new church now in the course of erection, with a magnificent bell which he presented to the congregation. The bell weighs nearly a ton and cost nearly a thousand dollars, and was paid for by Dr. Macphail together with the cost of erection and every incidental expense added thereto. Its tones can be heard for a distance of seven or eight miles. An address was presented to him on behalf of the congregation expressive of there [sic] thanks and gratitude for the splendid donation, to which the learned Doctor made a suitable and feeling reply. Though living the greatest part of his time in Montreal, in connection with McGill College, and editor of the University Magazine, still, he prides himself on being a Provincialist and had always taken a lively interest in the welfare of his native land. Men of this stamp are scarce and it is a pity that more of his standing and ability could not be induced to enter public life to represent people in the legislature here or in the House of Commons in Ottawa. He would certainly be straight in the legislature in standing up for the rights of a much neglected province.
On this magnificent bell is transcribed the following:
"Vocos vivo mortuos plango.
William Macphail, 1802-1852.
William Macphail, 1830-1905.
William Macphail 1859-1893".When thinking it all over, one is reminded of the grand old patriotic hymn, one verse of which is as follows:
"Our Father's Sepulchures are here;
And there our kindred dwell
Our children, too, how could we love,
And love another land as well."These inscriptions are appreciated when it is known that Dr. Macphail's grandfather has his resting place in the Cemetery at Valleyfield and no doubt for that and other reasons the Doctor placed this monument of his respect in the Church tower. Long may it toll and long may the Doctor live to remind him of his generous gift.

Valleyfield
John McPherson, the noted horse-handler, has just finished moving the old Gospel tent at Valleyfield to the new church lot. The unanimous thanks of the managers of the congregation was tendered him for the successful manner in which he performed such a difficult undertaking. This building was erected twenty-four years ago by D. L. McKinnon, Montague, and was used to accommodate the large crowds which gathered at the communion and other services in the summer season. It is thirty-six feet square and the outside walls are eight feet high, and the center is supported by two rows of heavy posts. It is now to be used as stables for horses during divine service. The finishing touches are being applied to the new church. The workmanship, reflects great credit on the contractor, Jas. A. Martin. The pews are being installed by Mark Wright of Charlottetown, and are of the most modern design. The pulpit, which is of quarter oak, is manufactured by the same firm, and is presented to the congregation by the Mrs. Rev. R. McLean to be in memory of her late husband, who was the much loved pastor of this congregation for over twenty years. The gift is much appreciated by the many friends of Mrs. McLean in the community. The new church is the design of C. B. Chappell, architect, Charlottetown, and is built under his supervision assisted by Hugh McPherson and John McLeod as inspectors. The opening services were held on Sabbath, 26th. Morning service at 10:30, afternoon at 3 p.m., and evening at 7:30. The services of very popular clergymen were secured.

"I had an invitation to preach during my vacation," said Re. McLeod. "I am not like Frank Tallage, who did not preach, pray, or practice on his vacation. I practiced and prayed, but did not preach. I declined to preach, even to fashionable Fifth Avenue." Rev. McLeod has refused three invitations to accept a raise in salary during his tenure of the Pasadena pulpit. Pasadena Exc. Oct. 14.

Death
The remains of Stewart McTavish, so foully murdered at Cambridge, Mass. were lovingly laid to rest in the family plot at St. John's Cemetery, Belfast, on the 28th Inst. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. S. D. McPhee assisted by the Rev. McEwen of Iona. The exceptionally large concourse of people forming the sad funeral procession showed the high esteem in which the deceased was held in his native land and the deep sympathy felt for the sorrow-stricken parents and relatives. The scene in the home when the sad message came was heart-rending, and one never to be forgotten. He who promises "to wipe all tears form our eyes" is graciously sustaining the broken-hearted parents and family by sweet consolation of his Grace and presence. "Stewart" was a young man of exemplary character and a general favorite. His untimely and cruel death has cast a deep gloom over the whole Province. The bereaved parents and relatives have the prayers and deep sympathy of all.

Eldon Notes
A correspondent from Eldon and Belfast says: The farmers of this vicinity are patiently awaiting more snow to get home their winter's wood - not even enough for the boys to snow-ball the cop. Herbert Martin has finished hauling his workshop. The work was performed by Jack McLellan and James Munroe. N. Larabee and E. Gay are doing a rushing business in the butchering. While N. A. Gillis and Thomas McLellan were returning from Vernon Station on the ice, the horse broke through off Casket Point, and only for the timely assistance of Neil D. Gillis, of Orwell Cove, they might have lost their horse. Jack McDougall is visiting friends in Newtown, the guest of James Grifin. A. McEachern is kept busy in his workshop supplying the wants of the farmers. D. A. McTavish's mare, which got hurt some time ago, is slowly improving. John Wheeler shot two foxes with his repeating rifle. M. Griffin is supplying Newtown School with wood this winter. J. Biggs butchered a hog, fifteen months old, which tipped the scale at six hundred and thirty pounds. Beat that who can. W. Smith and Joseph Griffin are busily engaged sawing wood with their circular saw, which they run with a gasoline engine. Their many friends wsh them success in their undertaking. H. McDougall shot an animal the other day that is supposed to be a wild-cat.

His sisters, Mrs. Wadman, of Boston, who is now residing with her parents, Mrs. McWilliams, of Eldon, and Mrs. Cairns, of Earnscliffe, were the other members of the family present on the interesting occasion. The grandchildren, of which there are many, were represented by Miss Ethel Wadman, and Miss Margaret McWilliams.
The weather, unfortunately, was unfaithful, and all who were invited could not be present, but the following sat down to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Bruce at Two o'clock Thursday afternoon. - Mr. J. M. Bruce, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Harrington, Mr. and Mrs. Alex McLeod, Mr. and Mrs. John Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Murdock McLean, Mr. and Mrs. John R.

During their half century of wedded life, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce had only one sorrow to mar their happiness, the loss of a little boy eight months old who was burned to death in their first house in Dundee. After the accident they left that part of the Island and removed to Ocean View where they now have a comfortable home, and where they now keep the Post Office.
On their wedding anniversary they were the recipients of seventy dollars in gold including a twenty dollar gold piece from their son, J. Alexander in Alaska. If their health will permit, they expect to take a trip next summer to Seattle where they will visit their sons.

Obituary
Catherine Ross, relict of the late Hugh McWilliams, died at Ocean View, Lot 58, on the third day of April, 1909, at the ripe age of eighty-three years. During the last four years, she had been greatly suffering in body by rheumatism and failing strength, succeeded by loss of eyesight, which sore affliction she always endured with that humble, patient and due resignation that show clear mark of the Christian mind and heart. In this neighbourhood, she had lived for over fifty years, beloved and highly esteemed by all, and the whole community mourns her loss as a woman in which all the virtues of industry, prudence, sociability, and amicable manners were closely combined to form an estimable character. Faithful as a friend, dutiful and tender hearted as a wife and mother, are moral qualities that may always be cherished in remembrance of her by all who had ever had the pleasure of her acquaintance. The deceased had been a devoted member of Belfast Church for many years, and in her time of affliction, her sole desire and humble prayer would be for more grace to seek and know the truth through the merits of Christ alone, in which blessed hope, she calmly fell asleep. Her funeral was largely attended, when Rev. S. D. McPhee ably and solemnly officiated on the occasion, giving a fine address in commendation of the departed one. Her husband and one son predeceased her over four years ago. Her surviving family are Donald, John R., and William at Ocean View, Alexander, and Mrs. J. T. McWilliams at Eldon.
Mrs. McWilliams was the second daughter of the late Donald Ross of Grandview. Her surviving sisters are Mrs. D. McDonald and Mrs. John Bruce and Mrs. M. Buchanan, of Ocean View; two brothers, Donald, in California, and John in Brantford, Ontario.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Molyneaux
On the evening of the 15th inst., the community of Southport was saddened by hearing of the sudden death of Mrs. Nathaniel Molyneaux. A few weeks ago, Mrs. Molyneaux went to the P.E.I. Hospital where she underwent a serious operation, which was a perfect success. After the operation she improved rapidly and was intending to return to her home on the 16th, when on the evening before she took a fainting spell from which she never recovered but died in a few minutes. Mrs. Molyneaux was 51 years of age. She gave her heart to Christ when but a child, and united with the 2nd Baptist Church, Lawrence, Mass., January 18, 1882. Naturally, Mrs. Molyneaux was of a cheerful, generous, kind spirit, and thus, permeated as she was with the spirit of Christ made her one of the most noble specimens of Christian womanhood. She possessed the rare faculty of being able to cover the feelings of others with the mantle of charity and was ever delighted to speak and encouraging word or lend a helping hand to any one in need. Her place in the community and in all of the activities of the church will, indeed, be hard to fill. It was her joy to attend the services of the sanctuary and her pastor mourns the loss of an earnest worker and a most sympathetic and attentive hearer. She will be greatly missed in her home by her sorrowing husband who mourns the loss of one of the most devoted of wives. Beside the sorrowing husband, she leaves one brother and two sisters. Alex D. McPhee, of Earnscliffe; Mrs. R. McKinnon, of Pownal; Mrs. Phillip Irving of Cherry Valley, a large number of nephews and nieces, to whom she was like a mother, and a host of friends who will ever cherish the memory of her sainted life. The funeral service on the 17th was largely attended and exceedingly solemn, as all who had known her in life mourned the loss of a personal friend. The remains were taken to the Cross Roads Church where pastor, E. H. Erb, who conducted the service spoke appropriate words from Hebrews 4:9.

In peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
'Till we see thy heavenly face.---
