Document - Justin McIver
Letter to Justin McIver from his friend, Thomas Desmond, dated February 11, 1945. Updates from their work together at the Canadian National Railway (CNR).Document - Letter to Jut McIver from his brother Joe McIver
Transcription of letter from Joe McIver to his brother Jut, dated April 4, 1942. Includes additional information on Joe, prepared by Teresa and Arthur Rodgers.Document - Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie
Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie Tuplin, dated November 28, 1944. At the time, Jut was in the Royal Canadian Army Corp (RCAMC) and was stationed at the #20 Canadian General Hospital in Leavesden, England. The letter details some of what Jut was doing during the war, and mentions Joseph Charles McIver, who had been officially reported missing as of the 18th. There are references to his wife, Eunice McCarville, and their son, Paul McIver.
Unfortunately, it appears that Charlie Tuplin never received the letter as he was taken prisoner on while fighting in the Netherlands, and died in captivity on December 8, 1944. He is buried in the Holten Canadian Cemetery in Holten, Netherlands. Charlie was from Indian River, PEI, and was serving with the Royal Highland Regiment (Black Watch) in France and the Netherlands. His name is inscribed on the Kensington War Memorial along with Joseph Ready.
There is a Dutch private citizen in Holten, Netherlands who has been looking after Tuplin's grave and had just visited it on January 5th, 2021. The Dutch are dedicated to honouring the Canadians buried in the Netherlands for liberating them, they do a lot of work to keep honouring their memories and the sacrifice they gave for the Netherlands.

Notes - Born in Newton, P.E.I. on December 16, 1913. He passed away on December 23, 2008, one week after his 95th birthday.
He was the son of Peter D. and Margaret (McKenna) McIvor.
Justin worked for CNR for over 40 years, retiring when he was 63 years of age. He was extremely happy that he was retired for nearly as long as he was employed. A couple years ago he was given the honor of burying a time capsule for CNR, and being interviewed on TV. and an article in the newspaper.
He was married to Eunice McCarville on December 6, 1943. She is living (2009) at Arborstone Nursing Home, in Halifax. She celebrated her 91st birthday on January 5, 2009.
They had three children - Paul, Elmer and Kevin. Elmer passed away on February 4, 2005, leaving his wife, Roma, children, Kimberley and Daniel. Paul and Kevin reside in Halifax.
There are four grandchildren - Paul and Tamara have a son Jason, who is married to Kellie. They reside in Halifax. Chara is married to Steve Mural, and they reside in London, Ontario. Elmer and Roma have a daughter, Kimberley, who resides in Montreal, and Daniel resides in Halifax.
Justin served in the 2nd World War, and was stationed in Belguim, England and Germany. He always had a captive audience when he told stories of his time overseas.
He was an active member of St. Lawrence Church, Knights of Columbus, and Royal Canadian Legion.
Justin and Eunice had a cottage at Cape Traverse, P.E.I. and they enjoyed their summers there, with their many relatives and friends. At the last gathering, Justin enjoyed the fact that he was the oldest living member of the McIvor clan. He was planning to attend the upcoming reunion, in Prince Edward Island, during the summer of 2009.
Justin lived at the Berkeley for the last few years, and was so well liked by all the staff and residents. He was known for his smile, helping hand, and his hats!
Justin is missed by all his family members, and I do not know of anyone who said anything negative about him.
