• Notes

  Theodore Augustine (TA) McIver, the third of ten children of John McIver and Emily Harrington, was born in 1864 in Newton, PE. In 1897, he married Adilla Johnston, daughter of Richard Johnston and Mary Ann McMurrer from Kinkora. They were married there at St. Malachy’s Church in Kinkora, lived in this village for thirty plus years and this is where all their children were born and raised. They began their married life in the village where they operated a store and produce business. While farming their land in Newton, Theodore worked for International Harvester Company as a machine salesman. Later in the 1920’s he and Earl Craig were in partnership growing, buying and selling potatoes. Their markets reached across Canada and into the New England States. After retiring from the potato business, he sold fertilizer for the C.I.L. Company until he retired at the age of seventy-five years. They moved to Summerside in the 1930’s for their remaining years. Both are buried in St. Malachy’s Cemetery, Kinkora. Submitted by Blanche McPherson, daughter
