• Notes

  Sister St. Hugh McIver (Emily McIver) was the daughter of Hugh McIver and Caroline McGuigan, born March 8, 1901 at Kinkora, P.E.I. She spent the first 15 years on the family farm in Newton but then in the summer of 1916 she left P.E.I. in the good company of her two aunts - - Sister Mary Charles and Sister Damian. The group’s destination was St. Joseph’s Novitiate, St. Paul, where in 1917 she received the habit of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. In 1918, two years before obtaining her Derham Hall High School diploma, Sister St. Hugh began the first part of a 34 year service to St. Luke’s Grade School, St. Paul. She taught first grade for 16 years and in 1934 began a nine year principalship. The following years saw Sister Hugh serving as an upper grade teacher and/or elementary school principal mostly within the St. Paul and Minneapolis area. For three years, from 1951 until 1954, Sister St. Hugh generously shared her expertise as a reading supervisor and traveled many miles throughout Missouri to conduct reading demonstration lessons. Sister St. Hugh returned to St. Luke’s in 1962 to teach eighth grade for three years. In 1975 she returned again and began five years of remedial part-time teaching. These last years were particularly rich and full for Sister St. Hugh: warm family relationships continued, old and new community relationships were nurtured, friends from her teaching days remained loved and cared for. Sister St. Hugh crocheted, read, played bridge, cooked, gardened, watched birds, and prayed: she spread beauty around her. She lived in the quiet confidence of God’s love. She died February 28, 1982 and was buried in Resurrection Cemetery, St. Paul, MN. Story submitted by Sister Margaret Pierre
