  • Notes 
    • Cyril Joseph McCarville was born on May 20, 1915 in Newton, P.E.I., the only son to John A. McCarville and Annie Kelly McCarville. He attended Newton Elementary School and continued on at Kinkora High School until he had to leave school in Grade 11 to maintain the family farm when his father took ill.

      After the death of his father, John, in 1943 he continued to farm in Newton until 1953. On November 22, 1948 he married Mary Eleanor Murphy, daughter of Michael Augustine Murphy and Laura Carr of Milvale in Hope River Parish. Together they cared for his mother, Annie, at the family home until her death in August of 1950.

      In 1953 Cyril sold his farm to his second cousin, St. Clair McIver, and left for Toronto on May 1. In August of that year he sent for Mary with their two sons, Joseph - age 2 years and Desmond - 31/2 months old.

      Over the next 26 years he worked with the railway at Toronto Terminals and moved to the Post Office, retiring from Canada Post in 1979. No man enjoyed his retirement more, as it afforded him more opportunity to travel.

      A quiet, reserved man with a gentle, loving heart, he possessed a wickedly dry sense of humour and an undying loyalty to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was very religious, and like Mary, understood the importance of his faith. He valued education, supporting each of his four children in pursuing their goals.

      He died very suddenly on January 2, 1984 of a heart attack while visiting a neighbour.
