| 101 | Eugene Lionel McIver was born in Newton PEI to parents Margaret (McKenna) and Peter D. on June 14, 1920. He grew up in Newton on the family farm. His mother passed away when he was only 7 years of age. This threw the family into great challenges, as he was one of 13 children. At this time various members of the family came home to help while some of the younger children went and spent time with Aunt Minnie and Uncle Joe in Kinkora and the Driscolls in Summerside. Eugene (Gene) remained at home. Gene's young life was spent on the farm helping his father. He met and married Theresa (Folland) in 1952 and together they raised 8 children. For years, Gene farmed with his brother "across the field" and then with his nephews, after the death of Aden. Gene loved farming and ran a mixed farm growing grain and potatoes as well as raising beef cattle and milking cows. He could often be heard singing on the tractor while he worked. One of his disappointments was having to sell the farm in 1978 as it was becoming a lot of work for him. After retirement he worked for various farmers helping them grade potatoes and work the land. To be in the warehouse with the other farmers was to be in the "know" of the local community. He also enjoyed gardening and had many successful gardens. In his later years he delighted in going to the field during digging to deliver the lunch to see what was going on. He enjoyed seeing the potato trucks going up and down the road and watched the farmers farm his land from his chair in the kitchen. Gene had many friends and looked forward to the many visits from them especially over the last few years. They brought him great joy as Gene loved people. Gene and Theresa had a great social life and had attended many dances in their parenting years and many card parties at the house on a Saturday night. He never travelled far but not for lack of trying by the family. He was always very content to stay at home. He did love to visit with his brothers Jut (Justin) and Will. He often went to Borden on a Sunday afternoon while Will was working and would make a crossing back and forth to spend the time with him and have a meal on the car ferry. His children visited on a regular basis and he enjoyed every one of them. He especially liked the gatherings on a Sunday afternoon to catch up on everyone’s lives during the week and the "goings on" in Kinkora and the Newton Road. In his later years he looked forward to his many grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He lived a long life with few regrets although he did say if he had to do it over again he would be a lawyer. We can still hear him. He loved to talk. Gene passed away on Jan 31st, 2009 and is buried in the cemetery at St. Malachy's church. He never moved from the farm in Newton and the homestead is still considered the home place to many people. Submitted by Helen Smith, daughter | McIver, Eugene Lionel (I2508)

| 102 | Eugene McKenna was born May 13, 1921 in Dorchester, Massachusetts. At that time his father was employed by the Boston fire department. He was educated in Dorchester elementary schools and attended Boston College High School. Following graduation from high school in 1939, he entered Boston College. He completed two years at Boston College and entered the St. Josephite Society in 1941. After completing a novitiate, he entered St. Joseph Seminary in Washington in 1942 and was ordained a Josephite priest in Washington on June 10, 1947. Fr. McKenna served in active ministry from 1947 to 1996 when failing eyesight and waning health forced him to retire to St. Joseph Manor. He had numerous assignments as temporary administrator or temporary associate and his availability for emergency assignments was very valuable to his superiors. He served as pastor of Sacred Heart parish in Raywood, Texas from 1960-1964. In 1969 Fr. McKenna began a ministry in which he became highly effective. He was appointed chaplain at the Lafon Nursing Home operated by the Sisters of the Holy Family in New Orleans. He later became the chaplain at D.C. General Hospital in Washington, D.C., a post he held until 1983. When failing eyesight made parish and hospital duties difficult, Fr. McKenna was assigned as the associate to the novice master at the Josephite Novitiate, and then located in Houston, Texas. Fr. McKenna served in that capacity from 1989 to 1996, when he formally retired to St. Joseph Manor ending an active ministry of forty-nine years. Fr. McKenna died on June 18, 2004 at St. Joseph Manor in Baltimore in his eighty-third year. He is buried In New Cathedral Cemetery in Baltimore.

| 105 | Every year mom and dad would go to the states to visit relatives and friends. Before they left, dad would go to the factory in Kinkora and pick up a 20 lb. piece of cheese done up in a round box (wooden). As they arrived at customs on the N.B. side, the custom officer eyed this box on the back seat and he asked dad if he had anything to claim, and dad with his quick wit said “No, that’s my lunch”. He was a wonderful dad and very well-known and liked. Submitted by Paula McIver Wilson | McIver, Charles Raymond (P95)

| 107 | Faustina Marie McIver was born at Kinkora, Prince Edward Island on 4 September 1901, the third child born to Theodore McIver and Adilla Johnson and died in Toronto on 13 June 1988. “Tina” as she was affectionately known married James Everett Kelly from Shamrock, Prince Edward Island, in 1924 and went on to have seven children; two girls, [one died at age 3 months] and five boys…a loving and caring mother. In the 1930’s Tina and Everett [“Eb”] operated the Kinkora General Store. The building that was the store still stands today at the corner of the Anderson and Somerset roads. In her immediate family of four brothers and four sisters Tina was the only one who did not attend formal schooling past grade 10 as she was kept back to look after the others [as was the practice in the early 1900’s]. After several moves [Summerside then Charlottetown] the family settled at 60 Kent St. in Charlottetown. Tina not only cared exceedingly well for her immediate family but also over time cared for at least 100 boarders [some being relatives]. She cooked a phenomenal number of delectable, wholesome and economical meals. She ensured there was plenty for all and the boarders were treated well. She developed the skills to make soap, hook rugs, design and remake clothes, can foods, make preserves and jams, yet somehow still made time for card parties and attend Bingo. She was well known for the beautiful and excellent quilts she made. Our mother was an ardent Roman Catholic who firmly believed she was meant to be a “caregiver extraordinaire” to her family and others. She created a happy and comfortable home for her family and included many others as well. Submitted by: Clarice [Carey] McCormick/ Don & Russell Kelly | McIver, Mary Faustina (P97)

| 115 | Frances McIver (Fanny) was born in Newton, PEI, on July 24, 1860, the oldest of ten children born to John McIver and Emily Harrington. She attended school there then went to college for her license as a teacher. It was while she was teaching in Tignish that she met and married Frank Gallant. From this union there were ten children born. The first two children were twins who died and were buried in Tignish. Four more children were born in Tignish. They sold their farm, then, moved to Newton where four more children were born. In Newton, the farm in which they resided was beside her parent’s farm and was homesteaded by her parents and uncle (house now owned by Fred McIver). Fanny didn’t have time for teaching with children to look after, and farm work to be done. She was always willing to give a helping hand whenever needed. She loved to sew, hook mats and knit. Jut McIver, one of her nephews, remembered her as being an awfully hard worker and growing great strawberries. Frank Gallant was born on September 27, 1864 and is the son of Napoleon and Catherine (Clark) Gallant. He had five brothers and three sisters and two died in infancy. He was a fisherman, factory worker and farmer. He also helped to haul boats across Northumberland Strait in the winter. Frank also did some trapping and would skin foxes and other animals for people. He also soldered can goods for the neighbors and the factories. He loved to play cards and work at crossword puzzles and was called a problem solver. They sold their farm in Newton in 1933 to Fanny’s brother, Peter D, and moved to Kinkora where they lived until his death on July 27, 1942 (in one half of the house where Basil and Ethel Duffy lived – later Murphy’s Bakery). Fanny then moved in with her son John Cyril, his wife, Lena, and family. She lived with them until her death on January 22, 1952, and was missed by all. | McIver, Frances (P194)

| 117 | Francis Hugh Kelly son of Margaret McIver Kelly and Francis Kelly was born on March 27, 1886 at North Wiltshire, P.E.I. The family moved to Newton sometime before 1900 for a few years and around 1900 they purchased a farm at Carleton Point later to become Borden. His first job other than farm work was on the ice boats that were the only means of getting mail and passengers between P.E.I. and New Brunswick during the winter months. It was a very dangerous and strenuous job as they hauled the boats over the ice and, when they came to open water, they put the boat in the water and rowed the passengers. Women stayed in the boats and men walked when they to ice. Francis Hugh was also famous for his strength in anchoring a tug-of-war game. He then started out for the west, worked for a short time in a mill in New Hampshire then on to Vancouver where he worked for a livery and piano moving company. Around 1915 he returned to P.E.I. where he purchased a farm in Albany. On January 19, 1919 he married Mabel Hagen, daughter of John Hagen and Margaret Askin of Kelly’s Cross. On December 19 of that year they suffered a severe setback when two barns on the farm were burned to the ground. A new barn was built. Francis was a very talented carpenter. He operated a carpenter and blacksmith shop in Albany which was greatly appreciated by the farmers in the surrounding area. After he died his son, Joe, kept the business going until World War II broke out and Joe joined the Canadian Navy. Francis continued to farm and operate his shop until his death on July 22, 1939. He is buried at Seven Mile Bay, P.E.I. His wife Mabel stayed on the farm for a few years then moved to Saint John, N.B. with her daughters where she died on January 31, 1977. She is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Saint John, N.B. Submitted by Joseph (Joe) Francis Kelly | Kelly, Francis Hugh (P1576)

| 121 | From 2009 McIver Family History Book: Our Dad Arnold McIver was born Nov. 21, 1929 in Aroostook, N.B. to Louis McIver and Genevieve Armstrong McIver. When his parents separated he came to Newton, PEI, in the care of his grandparents, Hugh and Carolyn McIver. He and his brother Ronald, spent their early years with their Uncle Hugh John McIver and his family and their Aunt Annie Duffy and her family. Dad attended school in Newton, Kinkora and later St. Dunstan’s University. He worked for CN Marine during which time he married Norma Lawless in 1953 at Summerfield Church. In 1955 I was born (Ann) and we were living in Summerside as Dad worked at Schuman’s. We later moved to Montreal and in 1959 my sister Sharon was born. A few years later our parents bought a store in Kinkora and we moved back to the Island. Dad was very interested in community and was instrumental in the building of the Senior’s Citizens Complex and later Kinkora Complex. He loved to travel and visited many places including two trips to Europe with our mother. Dad really enjoyed our summer home in Chelton but his health began to fail and he was diagnosed with A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and died December 2, 2004 in the Palliative Care Unit at the Prince County Hospital. He was a good Dad and we miss him. | McIver, Arnold Thomas (I1012)

| 123 | Georgiana Winnifred McIver was born in 1872 on her father’s farm in Newton. The land was in the possession of the McIvers for two generations. She was the daughter of John McIver and Emily Harrington. In a land deal the name spelling was changed from McKeever to its present form. This was done in her grandfather’s time. On this farm she spent her childhood and young womanhood only leaving the farm to marry Michael Driscoll who was at that time the station agent in Freetown. It was in Freetown that all of her children were born. She lost one boy, her first born, when he was about a year and a half. The rest of her nine children grew to manhood and womanhood. She came among those villagers in Freetown not only as a stranger but also as one whose religious affiliation was completely different from theirs, but her quiet and unassuming nature made a lasting impression on those with whom she came in contact. She was a woman of strong and simple faith and charity and lived these virtues in her daily life. Her countless deeds of neighborliness and kindness left an indelible impression upon those with whom she came in contact and would not soon be forgotten by the people of Freetown who by their own lives exemplified these same virtues. These many characteristics broke down all religious barriers. As the years went by, she would find no more faithful and thoughtful friends than those in Freetown whom she had grown to know and love. In her living day by day taking care of a husband whose health was delicate and a family of nine children there must have been times when her patience was tried to the utmost, but I do not ever really recall having heard her voice raised in anger. Her greatest efforts were directed to preserving the faith of her children; and in this she was successful. They all remained faithful to her teaching and example. She remained in Freetown until 1929 when ill health forced her husband to resign from his duties as station agent. Her many years in Freetown had made her many devoted and loving friends who would never forget her countless deeds of neighborliness and charity. Her sadness at leaving these people was lessoned by the thoughts that now she would be near the church she so loved and served so faithfully. In her new home in Summerside she lived with her son until a home was built for her. In this home, she knew both joy and sorrow. After months of lingering and severe pain, God called her to Himself in 1956. Her friends in Freetown did not forget her. They came in crowds both young and old to show their love and devotion to one whom they had in life so dearly loved. | McIver, Georgiana Winnifred (P193)

| 128 | Harold Augustus McKenna was born on November 29, 1898, in Lynn, Massachusetts. Despite moving to New Hampshire as a child, he returned to Massachusetts sometime in his 20s. Harold married Beatrice Cecilia Rivard in 1935, and it does not appear that they had any children. He was a civil engineer, working for T.A. Pearson Associates, a building construction firm in Springfield, Massachusetts. | McKenna, Harold Augustus (P1536)

| 129 | Harold McIver was born in Kinkora (1910), the youngest son of Theodore McIver and Adella Johnston. In 1941 he married Kathleen Ready daughter of Annie Mullin and James Ready from Kensington. After they were married they settled in Summerside, where Kathleen taught school for many years in the public school system. During Harold’s life he was a car salesman for Corney Brothers Auto dealer and later entered the insurance business as a local representative for the Imperial Life Assurance Company. He was highly regarded by all who knew him for his honesty and integrity in all business transactions. Harold also had a very strong interest in organized sports and did much to foster baseball and hockey in Summerside. He was president of the Crystal Hockey club for several years and a member of the Knights of Columbus as well as the Kinsmen’s Club. At the time of Harold’s death, Kathleen was in Montreal having eye surgery and Harold was spending the night with his brother Charlie in Summerside. According to the Charlottetown paper, “sometime before 5A.M. Lillian (Charlie’s wife) woke to the loud wailing of the fire siren and clanging of fire bell. While going to the window to see if she could locate any sign of fire, she looked into the room occupied by Harold to see if he had been awaken by the alarm and noticed his arm was hanging limp from the bed. Further investigating she was shocked to find him apparently dead, with the arrival of the doctor she soon found it to be all too true. He had passed through the night due to a heart attack”. Harold was only in his 39th year and had been married just 9 years. After Harold’s death, Kathleen remained very close to the McIver family and never remarried. I visited her often as did a lot of the nieces and nephews as they had no children of their own. Kathleen, after a long and busy life passed away recently (2008) in Charlottetown. I will miss my visits. Another interesting note is, Kathleen’s grandmother was Mary McIver (1844-1918) married John Mullin, so she also had a double connection to the McIver family tree.

| 133 | Helen Margaret McKenna was a shy, sensitive child, the 9th of 11 children. She graduated from Plymouth Normal School and taught 5th Graders at the Wilson School in Manchester, NH. She shared an apartment with two sisters, and walking to/from her teaching job each day, she passed a Children's Home. Two beautiful blond youngsters would come close to the fenced-in yard when she passed, and she chatted with them often. The 2 girls mentioned the nice "Schoolmarm" they had befriended to their Dad, and in time, those 2 girls and an even younger sister became Helen's 3 "daughters" when she married widowed Gustav Simons in 1930. Four more children were added to the family in the next 5 years, and Helen devoted her energy and love to being a wonderful Mother. Once the family was grown, she was employed soldering small parts in meters used in Airplane cockpits. She played classical piano and the clarinet (in the Plymouth Normal School Bank) and fostered a love of music to several of her children and grandchildren. She had a "knack" for repairing broken appliances, etc., and figuring how things "worked". Her sons must have had this same curiosity, because one became a Chemical Engineer; one a Mechanical Engineer; and one an Electrical Superintendant. She and Gustav always had a vegetable garden, and took great pride in picking fresh vegetables all summer to feed their "brood." She passed away in 1978 at the age of 73 from Lupus.

| 137 | Hugh McIver, son of John McIver and Emily Harrington was born in 1862 on his father’s farm in Newton, lot 26, P.E.I. He owned a farm adjoining his father’s farm, married Caroline McGuigan and lived there most of his life. He was a kind jovial person, popular with his neighbors as he was always ready to lend a helping hand. He was strong and hard working and seemed to choose the most laborious work like raising buildings, shingling roofs, digging wells, and all the while doing some farming. At times he worked away from home. Early in his married life he went to Beddeford, Maine where his wife’s relatives lived and he worked in a mill, which was blamed for some loss of hearing. He went to Halifax, N.S. after the Halifax explosion in 1917. On his return he would bring books containing pictures of the terrible death and destruction in which we as children were very interested. He also helped to build the Borden pier. When his son Hugh John was old enough to take over the farming, he preferred to do odd jobs like gardening and helping the neighbors. For a few years he did some farming. Caroline McGuigan, daughter of James McGuigan and Rosanne McCarron was born in Kinkora, Lot 27, in 1869. Her mother was born in Sea Cow Head in the Chelton area. Carrie, as she was known to her neighbors and friends, was a very quiet gentle person, an industrious worker and home was her haven. She could though, leave it to help her neighbors in time of need, like childbirth and sickness. She was a home person but loved when visitors came to exchange yarns, like when Dick Johnston came to relate some of this wild escapades (grossly exaggerated, of course), then the walls rang with her peek of laughter. Her children were brought up quietly in the fear and love of God, and were sent to school to the best of her ability. When the children grew up and left to fend for themselves they came back faithfully and that was the joy of her life. In 1930, their son Hugh John married Mary McCloskey and the same year, their two grandchildren Ronald and Arnold came to live with them. With two families now to contend with, and her new daughter-in-law under the doctor’s care most of the time, they decided to move to Aroostook Jct., N.B. where the boys’ father lived. Pulling up their roots was too much for them, so after seven years they moved back to Kinkora and rented living quarters. This worked fine but in 1941 their daughter-in-law Mary died and left four small children. Being the concerned parents they were, they moved back home to assist Hugh John with the task of bringing up six children for the next two years. At this point Hugh John married Mary Morris. The house was then divided, and until 1950 the two families lived in harmony while Edward and Maureen came along. Now there are eight. Hugh L. died on April 11, 1950 and three months later Mary Morris passed away. As grandmother of eight, she was devastated at losing. However, one year later Hugh John married Mary Coady and life settled in again. Five more children were born under her roof. During those stressful years, he own surviving children were caring and supportive. She was blessed with good health and maintained her quiet poise to the age of 97. She was buried along side her husband in Kinkora cemetery. Submitted by Ann Duffy P.S. A short time later Ronald moved to Ann’s home until 1932. It was at this time that Arnie and Ron moved to Aroostook , N.B. with their grandparents. They returned to P.E.I. in the fall of 1939.

| 138 | Hugh McKeever was the third of eleven children born to Hugh McKeever and Mary Quinn. He was born in 1829 while his parents were residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Later, he would travel back to Ireland with his parents and two siblings. In 1939, he was ten years old when he, his parents and other siblings crossed the Atlantic Ocean once again. Hugh would have been an integral part of the clearing of the land and the development of the settlements on the three farms his father was in possession of when he died in 1857. His father died in 1857 when Hugh was twenty-eight years old. His father’s will stated, “to my well beloved son Hugh McKeever the sum of one hundred pounds currency to be raised and levied out of my property and paid to him by my Executors hereafter named on the first day of January, Eighteen hundred fifty eight.” Little research has been conducted on Hugh. To date the only record that has been found is “Country store license in Crapaud, issued to Hugh McKever January 13, 1865, license book number 6, page 246.” His sister, Anne, married to Frank McKenna, was living in the area at that time. Hugh died in 1871 from pneumonia. | McKeever (McIver), Hugh (P255)

| 141 | In 1900, Faustina Gallant was born into the Francis Gallant and Frances McIver family. She was one of eight children, and spent the first 15 years of her life on the family farm in Newton, near Kinkora, Prince Edward Island. At age 15, Faustina left Prince Edward Island in the good company of two aunts – Sisters Mary Charles and Damien McIver. The group’s destination was St. Joseph’s Noviate, St. Paul, where in 1917 Faustina received the habit of the Sisters of St. Joseph and her religious name, Sister Frances, after both parents. Never shying from hard work, Sister Frances Marie put her hands to many tasks; teaching, bookkeeping, and cooking. The pride she took in her work was obvious in the ever gracious manner with which she approached her tasks. Through the work of her hands, Sister Frances Marie blessed God and brought God’s blessings to others. The simplicity and freedom of her early rural days stayed with Sister Frances Marie throughout her life. She found that spirit again in Bethany’s chapel. There she lifted her hands and heart to God who now welcomes her into glory. She died on Friday morning, April 10, 1987 at Bethany Convent, St. Paul. She was 86 years old and had been in declining health since a fall earlier in the year. Story submitted by Sister Mary Kraft | Gallant, Faustina Genevieve (I318)

| 152 | Joe Ready was born and raised in Kensington, PEI the middle child of five children to Annie Mullin and James Ready. He graduated from St. Dunstan’s University in Charlottetown, PE. After a brief time with the RCAF, he went to England in 1939 and enlisted in the Royal Air Force where he flew many dangerous missions. One of the many friends Joe made in England was a fellow pilot, Freddie Harrold, whose parents lived in Cambridge, England. In October 1939 Fred Harrold was killed in the Battle of Britain. Joe continued to visit Fred’s parents and they all but adopted the Island airman as their own son. On April 18, 1941 Joe’s plane crashed in an air accident during a costal patrol in England. The Harrolds were devastated by this loss and requested special permission that Joe be buried in an Anglican cemetery next to their son. Joe was buried with full military honors in a service conducted by Capt. Reggie MacDonald, his former parish priest from Indian River. Following these two deaths, the Harrolds opened their home to all other soldiers from Kensington and area including Joe Ready’s cousin, Joe McIver. Shortly after receiving word of his death, his siblings received the last letter he had written to them. This letter reads: “By the time you receive this, I’ll have gone on my last flight and arrived, at last, at the end of the trail. I know it will be a great comfort to you to know that I was prepared to face Our Lord and that, even as you read this, I will be close by, in spirit, praying for you all. Ever since I started flying in Canada I have realized that this was liable to happen suddenly, at any time, and more so since the war started. So I have never left the ground without being prepared. Knowing this, I’m sure you won’t feel too badly about it all as the best any person could wish another is that they arrive safely in Heaven. I realize I have been more or less a great worry to you most of the time between slackness and sickness and I want to thank you all, for being so patient with all my faults and drawbacks during our time together. I realize also that it was a great sacrifice for you to finance my way through college and shoulder my hospital bills and I have always intended and hoped to be able at some time to pay you back, but it was just not to be so. At any rate, I want you to know that I have always appreciated it and always felt deeply grateful despite the fact I may not have seemed so at the time. It was not nice dying so far from home and among comparative strangers but I thank God for the really great privilege of being able to give my life as an aid, small though it may have been, in overthrowing one who would destroy religion, freedom and all that’s worth living for. I always thank God for the really great privilege of having such a brother and sister as you. Not everyone is so fortunate. And, now, it is time for a final good-bye In knowing that you will all be leading good Christian lives I’ll be up there with Papa and Mama, watching and waiting for you and praying for your success and happiness. Until the day when we shall all be, once again reunited. May God bless you all. Your loving brother, Joe ” Researched by Desmond McIvor | Ready, Joseph Dougald (I3236)

Eventually his son Lloyd participated in farming with him It was also during this time that his mother came to live with them. Frank died in 1942 and Fannie move in with John C. and Lena and remained under their care until her death in January 1952 at the age of ninety-two years. In 1960 John C. and Lena built a new house in the field beside the farmhouse. This enabled their son and daughter-in-law, Lloyd and Janet to move into the farmhouse. In July 6, 1968 Lena died. John C. continued to live there for sometime but eventually sold the house and moved into the Senior Citizens accommodations in Kinkora. After several owners Lloyd and Janet bought this new house.

| 161 | John Joseph Kelley (called Joe by the family) was born in East Boston, started his education in the public school in Everett and then entered fifth grade at Cheverus School in Sacred Heart parish, Malden. After completing high school at Malden Catholic he attended Boston College and graduated in 1942. Joe was ordained a priest in 1946 for the Spokane diocese (His uncle Father John Kennedy was a priest of that diocese and Boston has a surplus of priests; hence their ‘lend-lease” program to other diocese). Called by his first name, Father John Kelley served on the diocese as a parish priest first at Ephrata, Washington, along with three outlying missions: Soap Lake, Moses Lake and Burke Junction. Joe remembers the area with horses roaming the wild prairies. His other assignments included St. Joseph parish in Spokane where he taught at Marycliff Academy, Assistant Pastor in Richland, and Sacred Heart Parish in Pullman along with the Palouse Missions. In 1956 Joe was assigned as the first pastor of Sacred Heart parish in Othello. This required planning and financing an extensive building program. From there in 1960 he was assigned pastor of Assumption parish on Walla Walla with the task of building a church there, and then in 1968 was made pastor of St. Patrick parish in Walla Walla. Joe had many additional responsibilities while he was pastor, including being a member on the Diocesan Finance Board, chaplain in a Veterans Administration Hospital and administrator of the Catholic cemeteries in Spokane. In the early 1970’s because of his failing health, he had to be relieved of all duties other than being a fulltime chaplain in the VA hospital. He served in this ministry in VA hospitals in Washington, California, Pennsylvania, and Florida. He retired in Miami where he had ministered in the VA hospital there. He returned to Spokane about 1993 where he lived with other retired diocesan priests on the Rockwood Apartments. Later because of diminishing health Father John Kelley resided in St. Joseph Care Center in Spokane. He died October 28, 2003 after a long battle with diabetes and the resulting complications. | Kelley, John Joseph Kennedy (I3295)

| 162 | John McIver was the first of eleven children born to Hugh McKeever and Mary Quinn. John was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1825, based on the baptismal record located at St. Augustine Church. He returned with his parents to Ireland, around 1833-34, and in 1839 settled on Prince Edward Island. John was about fourteen years of age when he arrived on the Island. John, with his siblings and parents, would have worked to clear the land. The 1841 Census on PEI indicates his parents had 100 acres of land leased by verbal agreement and that three of these acres were areable. When his father died in 1857, John was thirty-two years of age and still living at home as there was no house in the 1880 Meacham Atlas on the land he inherited from his father. The homestead was willed to become Michael and Peter’s when their mother died. In the 1880 Meacham Atlas, Michael is in Hampton and John has possession of both the farm he was willed and the original homestead. It looks like he married Emily Harrington between1857-1859 as the first child, Frances, was born in 1860. Emily was the seventh of eight children born to John Cornelius Harrington and Johanna McGrath. John, Johanna and their two oldest children emigrated from County Cork, Ireland to Prince Edward Island and settled in the Hampton area. Years later John’s brother, Michael McIver bought the farm next to the Harrington homestead. All of John and Emily’s ten children were born in Newton on the original McIver homestead, presently owned by the family of the late Eugene McIver. Peter D., the youngest of their children, also raised his own family in the original farmhouse, but that was replaced in 1939 by the present structure. Seven of their ten children remained in PEI. Minnie and Charles never married or had children, whereas Fannie, Hugh, T.A. (Theodore Augustine), Georgiana and Peter D. all married and had large families. Faustina (Sister Damien) and Emily (Sister Mary Charles) entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in St. Paul, Minnesota. John Adrian married and settled in Contra Costa, California. John died in 1899, in Newton, Prince Edward Island, and is buried in St. Malachy’s Cemetery in Kinkora. | McKeever (McIver), John (P92)

| 169 | Joseph Edward Kelly was the youngest of seven children born to Margaret McIver Kelly and Francis Kelly. He was born in New Wiltshire, P.E.I. and later moved to Newton with his family. About 1900 the Kelly family moved to Carleton Corner, later called Borden, where he assisted his father and brothers on the farm. The Kelly property came to be known as Kelly’s Point. Later the farm was sold and then resold in the 1990s to become the staging ground for the building of the Confederation Bridge. Joe attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown and became a school teacher. He taught school in Wiltshire, Tyne Valley, and Souris. It was in Souris where he met his future bride and wife of forty years, Evelyn Susanna Kennedy. However before settling down to married life, Joe travelled to Vancouver with his brother Frank where he worked in the coal mines and taught the miners’ children. Upon his return to the East about 1915 he went to Boston, MA. When he and Evelyn married they lived in East Boston where their first child was born. They then moved to Everett where their other four children were born. About 1930 the family moved to Stevens Street, Malden, MA where they lived for 16 years. In 1946 Joe, Evelyn and Eileen moved to West Acton, MA where they had purchased two acres of land several years earlier. Evelyn (Sister Marie Clare) named the land “Twin Acres” Upon the death of Evelyn in 1957, Joe and Eileen went to live with his oldest daughter, Jane Driscoll and her family in Stoneham, MA. Upon arriving in Boston, Joe boarded with Joe and Maggie Butts in Somerville. His first job was with the Hood Milk Co. delivering milk. During World War I he was a radio operator on the SS Priscilla of the Fall River Line. He later worked for the Russell Box Co. in Medford as Superintendant of the plant. When the family company was sold to Container Corporation of America, Joe became buyer for the New England area until his retirement in 1955. Joe Kelley was a man of many talents. He learned carpentry and other construction skills which he used to advantage, remodeling and improving the family home in Malden. He taught himself to play the violin and as a young man on the Island he played for many dances and celebrations. His nephew Joe Kelly recalls that when Uncle Joe used to visit on the Island , he would bring his violin and all the relatives enjoyed listening to him play “Turkey in the Straw” and other favorites. Above all, Joe Kelley was a family man – a devoted husband and loving father who shared his life, faith and talents with his family and friends. Noticeable to all relatives was the spelling of Joe Kelley’s last name as different from the way other family members spelled theirs – Kelly. This happened inadvertently when on a document being filled out his name was recorded as Kelley rather than Kelly. Noticing this later, Joe decided to let it be rather than go through all the “red tape” to have it corrected. Researched by Desmond McIvor | Kelley, Joseph Edward (P1574)

| 174 | Kathleen was born in Kensington, PEI, the fourth of five children to Annie Mullin and James Ready. She started her teaching career at the tender age of 16 years and was in the public school system for almost forty years, most of which were in Kensington. Following her marriage to Harold McIver in 1941 (the same year her brother Joe died in the war), she moved to Summerside, where she became a very active member in the community and the church. She was involved with the catechetic program at St. Paul’s for many years. Kathleen was also into sports, being an avid player in tennis, golf, curling and the odd game of bridge. She was an active member in the Kinette Club (President), Ladies Division of the Summerside Curling Club, and the Provincial Ladies Curling Association. She also was a strong supporter and a charter member of the Speakeasy Toastmasters Club and the Summerside Christian Council. While living in Summerside and teaching in Kensington she travelled back on the “boat, train, or pig’s eye”. When teaching in Emerald, it was a two-room school and her teacher-mate was Nora McIver. When asked about her father-in-law, T.A., she stated “he was the boss”. TA ran a store in Kinkora at this time. Kathleen also loved to travel, and a smile would always spring to her face when she spoke of the trip she and her sister, Mary, took throughout Canada in a little Volkswagen, camping along the way and running for cover when the bears decided to take over possession of their tent. She was an international traveler and enjoyed each and every adventure. She spent the last number of years in residential care in Charlottetown. Her closest friends called her “Kay”. She will be sorely missed by friends and family alike. With her death there are no further descendants of Mary McIver. Source: Desmond McIvor and Funeral Service | Ready, Annie Kathleen (I2326)

| 193 | Margaret Adele McIvor, A Too Short Biography Margaret Adele McIvor was born on October 23, 1921, and passed away on March 21, 2004, just six weeks before the death of her much-loved husband Clarence Andrew Coady. Adele’s father was Peter Damien McIvor, whose farm was in Newton in Kinkora Parish, and her mother was Margaret Ann McKenna from Central Bedeque. Adele was the 10th of Margaret’s 13 children, and lived on the family farm in Newton from her birth until she was 17. Adele’s mother Margaret died at the age of 40, when Adele was six years old. Adele went to school in Newton until Grade 10, walking the two miles to school in summer and being driven by horse-drawn sleigh in winter. As a child, she fished for trout in the Dunk River with a birch rod and a line and hook tied around it. She and her friends went to dances at the Kinkora Parish Hall and to plays. At age 17, Adele moved to Charlottetown to attend Notre Dame Academy, followed by Prince of Wales, where she took a one year training course to become a teacher. In 1938, Adele became a teacher at Stanley Bridge, stepping in at the request of her older sister Eileen who had a bad back that year. In 1940, after one year of teaching, Adele went into training at Charlottetown Hospital to become a nurse. During that time, Adele stayed in the Nurses Residence along with the other six members of her class. It was the war years then, and Adele and her friends would see the servicemen at the Old Spain restaurant on Grafton Street. Adele’s brother Joseph, an airman, was killed in his second tour of duty on November 18, 1944. Adele graduated from her nurses training in May 1943, along with her good friend Rita Coady, sister of Adele’s future husband. After a brief period in private duty nursing, Adele moved to Toronto, which she did not like, and then to Montreal, where she lived and worked in the Victorian Order of Nurses for three years until 1946. During that period, Adele lived with Rita Coady and Ita McIvor. Adele had visited the Coady farm in Hazelbrook with Rita Coady to get some apples from the orchard, and met “the big lug himself”, Clarence Coady. During Adele’s time in Montreal, Clarence made visits from Queens’ Medical School in Kingston to Montreal, for the supposed purpose of visiting his sister Rita. Over time, Adele and Clarence began to have feelings for each other. Clarence and Adele were married on June 23, 1947, at St. Malachy’s Church in Kinkora, surrounded by their friends and family. At that time, they were still living off the Island, in Ottawa, where Clarence was interning at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. On September 19, 1948, they had their first child, Michael Allen, who was born in Ottawa. Six weeks later, they moved to Charlottetown and took up residence in the Palmer Apartments. Over the ensuing 11 years, Adele gave birth to four more children, Maureen Adele (February 26, 1951), Kevin Andrew (October 1, 1953), Kenneth William (November 13, 1955), and Peter Damien (July 1, 1959). Clarence became part of the Charlottetown Clinic, and his practice thrived. Adele devoted herself full-time to parenting, and a wonderful job she did. Over the years, Adele and Clarence took part in many activities that enhanced their own lives and the lives of their children, including church functions at Holy Redeemer Church and later at Our Lady of the Assumption in Southport, membership in the Belvedere Golf Course, annual deer hunting trips to Cape Breton and other parts of Nova Scotia, vacations to Fundy National Park and other Maritime locations, membership (for Adele) in the Charlottetown Junior League, regular Friday nights with the Bridge Club, and wonderful magical summers at the summer cottage in Keppoch. When in her 50’s Adele took the Registered Nurses Refresher Course, was reinstated as an RN, and worked with seniors in a private nursing home. Adele was dedicated to the support of her children and husband. She sat with her children and reviewed their homework, often against stiff resistance. She loved and comforted and encouraged each of her children to become the best they could be. She had a great sense of humour, and enjoyed laughter and happy times with her brothers and sisters as well as Clarence’s. In her later years, Adele became ill with dementia. Clarence was unfailingly supportive in this time of her life. His eyesight went in his later years, but between the two of them, they continued to make a happy and fulfilling life together, independent in their own home, loved by their children and grandchildren. Adele passed away on March 21, 2004. Submitted by Michael Coady, son | McIver, Margaret Adele (I2509)

| 194 | Margaret Blanche was the youngest child of Theodore and Della (Johnston) McIver, born on June 25, 1912 in Kinkora, baptized June 30, 1912. Her Godparents were Joseph Campbell and Mrs. Peter McIver. After completing her early education in Kinkora, she went to Charlottetown to attend Prince of Wales College and board at Notre Dame Convent. This is where obtained her teaching license. Her first teaching assignment was in Borden where she would take the train from Kinkora daily. It was there that she met her husband to be, the chief engineer of P.E.I. Ferry, Robert Donald (Don) MacPherson. My parents stood for Blanche and Don at their wedding on November 13, 1939 at Church St. Paul Gail Alberta was their only child and sadly she only survived eight days. It was unfortunate that they were unable to have any more as they both loved children so very much. The love that they had for children was passed on to their nieces & nephews. I lived with Blanche and Don (or Gabby as I called him) off and on for many years. By this time, they had settled in Summerside and Blanche had started working at Holman’s Department store. After a few years she decided it was time to return to teaching. She taught in Summerside until she retired in 1970. Blanche believed that if a child had good understanding of the basics, they would be set for life, therefore, always teaching the primary grades. After battling cancer for five long years, Don passed away in January 1974, with Blanche by his side. In 1988 her former students and friends from Borden held a dinner in her honour at The Linkletter Conference Centre in Summerside, to share the pleasant memories of their school days with Blanche. Blanche touched many lives during her lifetime, from the children that she taught to the ones that walked through the door of AA. She taught me how to be strong and stand up for what I believe in. I was very lucky that she was so much a part of my life. Blanche passed away June 15, 1990 after a short illness in the Summerside hospital. I know that she is greatly missed by many.

| 195 | Margaret McKeever Kelly was the youngest of the eleven children born to Hugh McKeever and Mary Quinn. She was born in 1849 on Prince Edward Island. Margaret was nine years old when her father died. The marriage register shows Margaret married Francis Kelly on January 26, 1880 in Desable, Lot 65. They were married by Father James A.E. MacDonald and the witnesses were John Bradley and Susan McIver. They had seven children. The family home was in Borden, PEI and was on land known as Kelly’s Point. In the early 1990s this property became the staging ground for the construction of the Confederation Bridge. Frank Kelly was born at Kelly’s Cross, PEI. He was a carriage builder, a trade he worked at all his life. He worked in a carriage shop in Shamrock and in a shop owned by Dan Noonan at Bedeque. He also spent a short time in the Western United States. He eventually had his own shop at Borden. He also built the tread mills that were used for power in those days. They used horses or other animals as a source of power on those mills. He could do many things with wood, even making his own pipes for which he used roots of apple trees. Frank was a real scrappy Irishman! When he had a few nips, he wasn’t a bit modest about his abilities in this field. He loved horses and dearly loved to get out on the road with a good stepping horse, even when he was nearly ninety years of age. The home at the Kelly’s Shore became the gathering place for the McKeever women. They would bring children and grandchildren to the beautiful shore and entertain each other. Margaret died in 1931 at the age of eighty-two years. Two of their seven children, Maud and Emmett, stayed at home and cared for their parents in their older years. Annie and Frank Jr. also remained in PEI, where they married and raised families. The youngest three children, Fanny, Maggie, and Joe, all settled in Massachusetts. Only Joe married and had a family. Margaret and Francis are buried in St. Peter’s Cemetery at Seven Mile Bay. Researched by Desmond McIvor | McKeever (McIver), Margaret (P248)
