• Notes

  James McIver was the tenth of eleven children born to Hugh L. McIver and Caroline McGuigan in Newton, PEI. He joined the CPR Railway in New Brunswick at Aroostook Junction (where his brother Louis, had moved to in 1910 – the year James was born), a major railway junction at the time. The trains travelled to both the USA and Canada out of Aroostook Junction. Over the years he moved about and by 1958 he was a conductor with the CPR in Nelson, BC. He made his home at the Hume Hotel in Nelson and was a good friend with the owner of the hotel, a Mr. Hume. He was also a frequent visitor with the family of one of his cousins, Emily Driscoll Monaghan in Trail, BC. Jim had been a bachelor all his life until he met a lovely woman, a widow from Nelson, BC. Jim was planning to retire and marry his fiancé. They planned a trip to PEI to visit his family following their wedding. Sadly, Jim was killed in a train accident before this came about. His fiancé accompanied his body to PEI for burial at St. Malachy’s Cemetery in Kinkora. Jim was a fine gentleman and a very jovial person who always had a smile for everyone. His sister Mary, the 8th of the eleven children, recently passed in June, 2009 in the USA at 103 years of age. Ron and Dot McIver travelled to the USA to attend her funeral.
