Notes - 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.

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.
